PREVIOUS APPROVAL On December 12, 2007 the Planning Commission approved Planned Development District: Case 5.1159 PD 340 to construct five 2,413-square foot detached two-story condominiums and Tentative Tract Map 34729 for a condominium lot. The building elevations and setbacks for this previously approved project are similar to the case before the Planning Commission. 04 City Council Staff Report December 17, 2014 -- Page 5 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TTM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera On February 6, 2007, the City Council approved Planned Development District Case 5.1159 PD 340 by a 4-1 vote. The PDD entitlement expired and the Tract Map was never recorded. On November 12, 2014, the Planning Commission approved with conditions Preliminary Planned Development District 373; and recommends approval to the City Council. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project includes the development of an existing 23,039-square foot vacant lot located at the corner of West Via Olivera and Zanjero Road. The site is one block west of North Indian Canyon Drive in a largely undeveloped area. The subject parcel is zoned R-2 allowing for multi-family structures; however the applicant proposes to develop the lots as single-family detached units with zero lot line on one side. The Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) requires R-2 zoned parcels developed as detached single-family lots to meet the standards of the R-1-A zone. These development standards are listed in the table above. The proposed development does not meet most of the standards set forth in the R-1-A zone. The applicant is seeking relief from the provisions of the PSZC through the Planned Development District approval process. A Tentative Tract Map will subdivide the lot into five (5) single-family lots ranging in size from 4,471-square feet to 5,094-square feet. Access to each unit will be taken from Via Olivera. No access is proposed on Zanjero Road, although it will be required to be improved to its ultimate half width. The Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the project and recommended three changes to include the revision of the site plan placing the houses on the side property line allowing for a wider side yard; revise landscape plan increasing the number of plants in the front yard; and eliminating a gazebo feature along Zanjero Road. All requested changes have been made and are reflected on this submission. The Planning Commission reviewed the project and voted in favor of the Preliminary Planned Development District. An item of discussion included the proposed public benefit of the project. (See section below for a more detailed discussion.) Site Plan The proposed subdivision to five (5) parcels will result in four interior lots equaling 4,471-square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet. Each detached home will be accessed from West via Olivera with a 23 foot long driveway. Each house will be surrounded by a six (6) foot tall combination CMU / corrugated metal wall. An 05 City Council Staff Report December 17, 2014 -- Page 6 Cases 5.1348 PD 373. MAJ 3.3730, TTM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera Engineering Department condition of approval includes the requirement that a sidewalk be added along the street frontage of the project as well as the construction of curb and gutter. Each house will have a 25 foot front and rear yard setbacks, with side yards of ten (10) feet. Swimming pools are shown in the rear yards of each lot. The two car garage driveways for the interior four lots will be 16 feet in width with a reduced width for the corner Lot 1 to meet City Engineering standards based upon the required distance from intersecting streets. Architecture The applicant is proposing two house types: Unit Design "A"; and Unit Design "B". The streetscape will alternate each unit type with three of design A and two of design B. Each house is proposed to be 2-story with a maximum height of 24 feet. Unit A includes a front fagade with a two car garage, front entry door, with a second story balcony with wide roof overhang. The house will have a stucco finish painted beige with aluminum windows, doors, garage door, glass balcony railings, with slate tile veneer accent elements on the front fagade. Unit B will have a flat front fagade with stucco finish painted dark green with deep bronze window and door finish, metal facias and chimney cap. This elevation includes exposed wood finish for garage door and other accent elements. The rear elevation for both house types includes sliders leading out to a pool area and second story balconies. Side elevations for both house types include a series of small square windows and first floor sliders leading out to the side yard. Tentative Tract Map The proposed Tentative Tract Map (TTM) subdivides the site into five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,471-square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet. The design of the TTM is consistent with the design of the site for the project. Staff has reviewed the proposed Tract Map in light of the required findings and prepared recommended conditions contained in the attached draft resolution. Public Benefit Policy for Planned Development Districts In September 2008, the City Council adopted a policy requiring that PDD's provide a specific "public benefit" proportionate to the nature, type and extent of the relief granted from the development standards and requirements. The applicant is seeking the following adjustments in the underlying develop standards with the PDD: Permitting single-family residential in R-2 zone per R-1-A standards: o Reduced minimum lot standards for single family residences as noted in the staff report; 06 City Council Staff Report December 17, 2014 -- Page 7 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TTM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera o Increased density to 28 dwelling units per acre; o Building height ht increased to 24 feet o Side yard setback reduced to 6 feet; o Lot coverage at 39%; o Distance between buildings reduced from 15 to 12 feet. The applicant has put forth a project specific public benefit utilizing construction methods that will achieve the City's sustainability goals identified through the use of active solar features, water conservation techniques, and the project acting as a land use transition. • Sustainability feature of the project to include the placement of solar panels on all building roofs with the ability to generate '/4 to '/2 of the expected energy used by each unit. • The use of water efficient landscaping to reduce water use and provide shading. • A land use transition from the Major Thoroughfare of North Indian Canyon Drive, the existing California Nursing Facility and the vacant residentially zoned property to the west. The proposed project allows for the logical transiting from higher to lower intense uses. The Planning Commission found that the proposed project will further advance the general policies of the City through a Sustainability Public Benefit. Planning Commission Architectural Advisory Committee Review Guidelines. The Planning Commission and Architectural Advisory Committee shall examine the material submitted with the architectural approval application and specific aspects of design shall be examined to determine whether the proposed development will provide desirable environment for its occupants as well as being compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and whether aesthetically it is of good composition, materials, textures and colors.

I Staff Evaluation: and landmark trees upon a site, with proper irrigation to insure maintenance of all plant materials REQUIRED FINDINGS PDD CUP Findings: A Planned Development District is subject to the requirements of Zoning Code Section 94.02.00 Conditional Use Permit, including required findings contained therein. An analysis is provided below: a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this Zoning Code; The proposed project is currently zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential which permits single-family residential built to the R-1-A zone standards. A Planned Development District allows deviations from the strict interpretation of the zoning code. Section 94.02.00 specifically allows such action; therefore, the use applied for at the subject location is one for which is authorized by the Zoning Code. b. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located; The proposed use is a five lot single-family residential community with small lots ranging in size from 4,471 to 5,094-square feet in lot sizes. Each lot will accommodate a two- story residence with garages and private yards. Other similar size projects have been approved in the City and proven successful with completion of build out. Therefore, the use is desirable for the development of the community. The project will consist of two-story single-family residential on vacant land which will be rezoned to PD-373. No other uses are permitted within this zone. Should alternate uses be proposed, an amendment to the PD would be required. Consequently, the use is not detrimental to the existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone (PD-373). 09 City Council Staff Report December 17. 2014 -- Page 10 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TTM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera C. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood; The subject property is approximately 23,039-square foot in size and will be subdivided to accommodate 5 residential lots fronting along W. Via Olivera Road. The PDD will establish all development standards for each residential parcel to accommodate a two- story residence and private yard area. The development will be two-stories in height similar to residential projects along North Indian Canyon Drive. Therefore, the site for the intended residences is adequate in size and shape to adjust such use to those existing and future permitted uses of land in the neighborhood. d. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use; The project site is located a half block from North Indian Canyon Road which is defined as a Major Thoroughfare road by the General Plan Circulation Element. This street is a four-lane road designed to carry large volumes of traffic and moderate speeds. The proposed project fronts West via Olivera which is considered a Collector and is designed as a two way street carrying local traffic. Thus, the adjacent street network is properly designed and improved to carry the type of traffic expected for a 5-lot single- family subdivision. e. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and may include minor modification of the zone's property development standards. The project was evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to determine if any environmental impacts would occur as a result of this project. The project was reviewed by staff, and determined to be exempt under Section 15332, Infill Development. An In-Fill development is characterized as developments consistent with the General Plan; sites less than 5-acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; no habitat for endangered or threatened species; site is adequately served by required utilities. 10 City Council Staff Report December 17, 2014-- Page 11 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730, TTM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera Tentative Tract Map Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act. If any of these findings are not met, the City shall deny approval: a. That the proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. The TTM proposes a five (5) lot single-family residential development with access to an existing improved street. The proposed residential development meets the maximum allowed residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre with the enactment of a Planned Development District. The PDD will allow for the implementation of development standards that are customized to the proposed development. No specific plans are associated with the subject property. The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan, and this finding has been met. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The proposed single-family development is not consistent with the R-2 zone in which the property is located. However, the PDD proposes a set of development standards and design details with smaller setbacks than would otherwise be required by the underlying zone. The overall density is less than the maximum allowable with a PDD for the zone and the average lot size is smaller than required by the zone. Improvements proposed include single family homes which are permitted relative to the R-1-A standards. The applicant seeks approval of a PDD permitting single family uses. With the approval of the PDD, the project will be consistent with this finding. c. The site is physically suited for this type of development. A subject parcel is a flat vacant lot with existing native vegetation which can be graded to accommodate construction of single-family residences. Site modifications include the placement of a new curb, gutter and sidewalk along W. via Olivera; and half street improvements for Zanjaro Road on the East side of the new development. The site is physically suited for this type of development and the finding has been met. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The proposed project of five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet equaling 28 du/ac is consistent with the allowable density under the General Plan with the approval of a Planned Development District. The site abuts improved public streets with existing utilities and right-of-way widths that are projected in the City's 2007 General Plan update to operate at normal . lY City Council Staff Report December 17, 2014 -- Page 12 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TTM 36737 — 199 W. Via Olivera levels of service (LOS). e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and subsequent to Section 15332, Infill Development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan with the approval of a PDD. The site is a flat lot with an average slope less than 20% and does not include any natural habitat. The project will therefore not damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitats. f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the proposed subdivision includes connections to all public utilities including water and sewer systems. The private driveways from an improved street will provide access to the individual homes. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project was reviewed by staff, and determined to be exempt under Section 15332, Infill Development. A Notice of Exemption is proposed for the project. Flinn Fagg, AICP David H. Ready Director of Planning Services City Manager Attachments: 1. Vicinity Map 2. Resolution 3. Conditions of Approval 4.

A Notice of Exemption is proposed for the project; and SECTION 2: Pursuant to Section 94.02.00 Conditional Use Permit applies to Planned Developments. The project as it relates to these findings is found below: a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this Zoning Code; The proposed project is currently zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential which permits single-family residential built to the R-1-A zone standards. A Planned Development District allows deviations from the strict interpretation of the zoning 15 Resolution No. Page 3 code. Section 94.02.00 specifically allows such action; therefore, the use applied for at the subject location is one for which is authorized by the Zoning Code. b. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located,- The proposed use is a five lot single-family residential community with small lots ranging in size from 4,471 to 5,094-square feet in lot sizes. Each lot will accommodate a two-story residence with garages and private yards. Other similar size projects have been approved in the City and proven successful with completion of build out. Therefore, the use is desirable for the development of the community. The project will consist of two-story single-family residential on vacant land which will be rezoned to PD-373. No other uses are permitted within this zone. Should alternate uses be proposed, an amendment to the PD would be required. Consequently, the use is not detrimental to the existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone (PD-373). C. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood; The subject property is approximately 23,039-square foot in size and will be subdivided to accommodate 5 residential lots fronting along W. Via Olivera Road. The PDD will establish all development standards for each residential parcel to accommodate a two-story residence and private yard area.

Definition of pedestrian and vehicular areas; i.e., sidewalks as distinct from parking lot areas; The proposed 5-lot subdivision will provide individual yard spaces for each unit. New sidewalks will be added to the front and side of the development providing good pedestrian access with 25 foot long driveways for extra off-street parking. 2. Harmonious relationship with existing and proposed adjoining developments and in the context of the immediate neighborhood/community, avoiding both excessive variety and monotonous repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted; Surrounding parcels are zoned R-2 allowing for multi-family residences. The proposed development of single-family detached homes at a higher density is only permitted through the Planned Development District process. Alternating 17 Resolution No. Page 5 building elevations with different front facades and materials will provide a varied streetscape. 3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass, as well as parts of any structure (buildings, walls, screens, towers or signs) and effective concealment of all mechanical equipment; The proposal is seeking deviations to development standards as shown in the zoning analysis above. 4. Building design, materials and colors to be sympathetic with desert surroundings, Conceptual building designs have been provided and appear well composed. Final building materials and colors will be evaluated during the Final Development Plan review. 5. Harmony of materials, colors and composition of those elements of a structure, including overhangs, roofs, and substructures which are visible simultaneously; Each building type will be utilizing two different color schemes including wood and stone elements. Building overhangs are shown over windows and balconies for solar control and enhance building appearance. Further analysis will be completed when the Final PDD is submitted. 6. Consistency of composition and treatment; Proposed building elevations include a variety of building materials and shapes that are crafted to create a unique contemporary design. 7. Location and type of planting, with regard for desert climate conditions. Preservation of specimen and landmark trees upon a site, with proper irrigation to insure maintenance of all plant materials, Landscape plan includes a mix of shade trees, palms, shrubs and ground cover. SECTION 4. Planned Development District. Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 (E) "Planned Development Districts" of the Zoning Code, a Planned Development District (PDD) may be established in accordance with the procedures required by Section 94.07.00. The proposed project is evaluated against the findings as follows: a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the general plan pursuant to Sections 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. 18 Resolution No. Page 6 The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the Mixed Use / Multi Use designation. The project will bring revitalization to a parcel that has been vacant for decades. Additionally, the proposed development is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and surrounding development. b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed planned development district, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations. The project site is relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage. Access to each new home will be from an improved street with a 23-foot long driveway. The residential lots range in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet which is similar to other zero lot line developments in the City. The site layout will allow the maximizing of view corridors for the project and its surroundings. New sidewalks, curbs and gutters will be installed along West Via Olivera as well as a portion of Zanjaro Road. C. The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents. The proposed establishment of the Planned Development District is necessary to provide an updated design concept similar to the existing developments within the City. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents but will enhance the already established neighborhood by allowing a long vacant parcel to develop into new residential housing. Furthermore, the Planned Development District will modify height and setback requirements in a manner that will not be detrimental to the existing land uses in the immediate vicinity. SECTION 5: Tentative Tract Map. The findings required for the proposed Tentative Map are pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act. The project is evaluated against these findings as follows: a. That the proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. The TTM proposes a five (5) lot single-family residential development with access to an existing improved street. The proposed residential development meets the maximum allowed residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre with the enactment of a Planned Development District. The PDD will allow for the implementation of development standards that are customized to the proposed development. No specific plans are associated with the subject property. The 19 Resolution No. Page 7 proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan, and this finding has been met. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The proposed single-family development is not consistent with the R-2 zone in which the property is located. However, the PDD proposes a set of development standards and design details with smaller setbacks than would otherwise be required by the underlying zone. The overall density is less than the maximum allowable with a PDD for the zone and the average lot size is smaller than required by the zone. Improvements proposed include single family homes which are permitted relative to the R-1-A standards. The applicant seeks approval of a PDD permitting single family uses. With the approval of the PDD, the project will be consistent with this finding. c. The site is physically suited for this type of development. A subject parcel is a flat vacant lot with existing native vegetation which can be graded to accommodate construction of single-family residences. Site modifications include the placement of a new curb, gutter and sidewalk along W. Via Olivera; and half street improvements for Zanjaro Road on the East side of the new development. The site is physically suited for this type of development and the finding has been met. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The proposed project of five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,471-square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet equaling 28 du/ac is consistent with the allowable density under the General Plan with the approval of a Planned Development District. The site abuts improved public streets with existing utilities and right-of-way widths that are projected in the City's 2007 General Plan update to operate at normal levels of service (LOS). e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and subsequent to Section 15332, Infill Development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan with the approval of a PDD. The site is a flat lot with an average slope less than 20% and does not include any natural habitat. The project will therefore not damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitats. 20 Resolution No. Page 8 f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the proposed subdivision includes connections to all public utilities including water and sewer systems. The private driveways from an improved street will provide access to the individual homes. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design. SECTION 6: Public Benefit. the City Council finds that the project Public Benefit will achieve the City's sustainability goals identified through the use of active solar features, water conservation techniques, and land use transition. Sustainability features of the project to include the placement of solar panels on all building roofs with the ability to generate '/4 to '/2 of the expected energy used by each unit; the use of water efficient landscaping to reduce water use and provide shading; and provide an appropriate land use transition from commercial uses to the East to lower density residential uses to the west.

(GM) Assistant Planner Mlaker presented the proposed project as outlined in the staff report. Chair Hudson said he was in attendance at the AAC meeting when this project was heard and asked what will be substituted for the gazebo. Planner Mlaker responded the public benefit is that 1/2 of Zanjero Road will be built with curb and gutter. Chair Hudson opened the public hearing: Leonard Urquiza, PE, Secutrac Engineering, provided details about the replacement of the gazebo with landscaping area per the AAC recommendations. There being no further appearances the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Weremiuk expressed concern with the lack of public benefit for the community. Commissioner Calerdine suggested looking at improving the cross-section road (Zanjero Road) as a public benefit. Commissioner Middleton noted the lack of landscape and encouraged a greater variety of materialand moreshading could be provided: - -- --- Vice-Chair Klatchko asked about the possibility of an alternative approach for a PDD such as a change of zone. Assistant Planner Mlaker responded that the gazebo was part of one lot; and when the application was submitted staff asked the applicant to submit a PDD because of the density and original site plan was designed it would not meet the design standards. The Commission discussed the amount of public benefit proportionate to the project. 37 Planning Commission Minutes 9 November 12,2014 s Director Fagg noted that without a specific ordinance by the City Council establishing a specific fee in place this cannot be done. Director Fagg stated that the concept of proportionality for public benefit - is the amount of the variance being requested proportional to what the public benefit is given. This is I a small project- streets are not being created and so the public benefit would be less. Vice-Chair Klatchko noted hesitation because this area is vacant except for the nursing home area directly to the east and this would be a transition from the commercial use to residential. He feels this is a public benefit and an allowance should be given for i development in this neighborhood. E, ACTION: Approve subject to conditions and recommend approval to City Council as amended: I • To include a public benefit of solar- 1/4 to 1/2 of the estimated annual use. , • Return with a more varied landscape plan - reconsideration is given to the trees I to provide shade and withstand the winds.

A Notice of Exemption is proposed for the project; and Section 2: Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 (E) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the general plan pursuant to Sections 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the Mixed Use / Multi Use designation. The project will bring revitalization to a parcel that has been vacant for decades. Additionally, the proposed development is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and surrounding development. b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed planned development district, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations. The project site is relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage. Access to each new home will be from an improved street with a 23-foot long driveway. The residential lots range in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet which is similar to other zero lot line developments in the City. The site layout will allow the maximizing of view corridors for the project and its surroundings. New sidewalks, curbs and gutters will be installed along West Via Olivera as well as a portion of Zanjaro Road. C. The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents. The proposed establishment of the Planned Development District is necessary to provide an updated design concept similar to the existing developments within the City. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents but will enhance the already established neighborhood by allowing a long vacant parcel to develop into new residential housing. Furthermore, the 41 Planning Commission Resolution No.4 (7) November 12,2014 5.1348-PD373/3.3730-MAJ/TTM 36737—Via Olivera Page 3 of 5 Planned Development District will modify height and setback requirements in a manner that will not be detrimental to the existing land uses in the immediate vicinity. Section 3: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: a. That the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. The TPM proposes a five (5) lot single-family residential development with access to an existing improved street. The proposed residential development meets the maximum allowed residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre with the enactment of a Planned Development District. The PDD will allow for the implementation of development standards that are customized to the proposed development. No specific plans are associated with the subject property. The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan, and this finding has been met. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The proposed single-family development is not consistent with the R-2 zone in which the property is located. However, the PDD proposes a set of development standards and design details with smaller setbacks than would otherwise be required by the underlying zone. The overall density is less than the maximum allowable with a PDD for the zone and the average lot size is smaller than required by the zone. Improvements proposed include single family homes which are permitted relative to the R-1-A standards. The applicant seeks approval of a PDD permitting single family uses. With the approval of the PDD, the project will be consistent with this finding. c. The site is physically suited for this type of development. A subject parcel is a flat vacant lot with existing native vegetation which can be graded to accommodate construction of single-family residences. Site modifications include the placement of a new curb, gutter and sidewalk along W. Via Olivera; and half street improvements for Zanjaro Road on the East side of the new development. The site is physically suited for this type of development and the finding has been met. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The proposed project of five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet equaling 28 du/ac is consistent with the allowable density under the General Plan with the approval of a Planned Development District. The site abuts improved public streets with existing utilities and right-of-way widths that are projected in the City's 2007 General Plan update to operate at normal levels of service (LOS). 42 Planning Commission Resolution No.6 J 1 November 12,2014 - 5.1348-PD373/3.3730-MAJ/TTM 36737—Via Olivera Page 4 of 5 e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Parcel Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and subsequent to Section 15332, Infill Development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan with the approval of a PDD. The site is a flat lot with an average slope less than 20% and does not include any natural habitat. The project will therefore not damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitats. f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the proposed subdivision includes connections to all public utilities including water and sewer systems. The private driveways from an improved street will provide access to the individual homes. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design. Section 4: Public Benefit. The Planning Commission finds that the project Public Benefit will achieve the City's sustainability goals identified through the use of active solar features, water conservation techniques, and land use transition. Sustainability features of the project to include the placement of solar panels on all building roofs with the ability to generate '/ to '/2 of the expected energy used by each unit; the use of water efficient landscaping to reduce water use and provide shading; and provide an appropriate land use transition from commercial uses to the East to lower density residential uses to the west. 43 Planning Commission Resolution No.6446 t j November 12,2014 5.1348-PD373/3.3730-MAJ I TTM 36737—Via Olivera Page 5 of 5 ';NOW, ,THEREFORE %BE IT"RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning QQWmisslon e1pproves Planned; Development District 373 and the project architecture "and, recommends-tFiat`tlie City Council approve Case Number 5.1348, PD-373 and T-antatrve , ract Map 36117.

PREVIOUS APPROVAL On December 12, 2007 the Planning Commission approved Planned Development District: Case 5.1159 PD 340 to construct five 2,413-square foot detached two-story condominiums and Tentative Tract Map 34729 for a condominium lot. The building elevations and setbacks for this previously approved project are similar to the case • before the Planning Commission. On February 6, 2007, the City Council approved Planned Development District Case 5.1159 PD 340 by a 4-1 vote. The PDD entitlement expired and the Tract Map was never recorded. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project includes the development of an existing 23,039-square foot vacant lot located at the corner of West via Olivera and Zanjero Road. The site is one 16/ block west of North Indian Canyon Drive in a largely undeveloped area. The subject parcel is zoned R-2 allowing for multi-family structures; however the applicant proposes to develop the lots as single-family detached units with zero lot line on one side. The Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) requires R-2 zoned parcels developed as detached single-family lots to meet the standards of the R-1-A zone. These development standards are listed in the table above. I The proposed development does not meet most of the standards set forth in the R-1-A zone. The applicant is seeking relief from the provisions of the PSZC through the Planned Development District approval process. • A Tentative Parcel Map will subdivide the lot into five (5) single-family lots ranging in size from 4,471-square feet to 5,094-square feet. 61 Planning Commission Staff Report November 12, 2014-- Page 5 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera Access to each unit will be taken from Via Olivera. No access is proposed on Zanjero • Road, although it will be required to be improved to its ultimate half width. The Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the project and recommended three changes to include the revision of the site plan placing the houses on the side property line allowing for a wider side yard; revise landscape plan increasing the number of plants in the front yard; and eliminating a gazebo feature along Zanjero Road. All requested changes have been made and are reflected on this submission. Site Plan The proposed subdivision to five (5) parcels will result in four interior lots equaling 4,471-square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet. Each detached home will be accessed from West via Olivera with a 23 foot long driveway. Each house will be surrounded by a six (6) foot tall combination CMU / corrugated metal wall. An Engineering Department condition of approval includes the requirement that a sidewalk be added along the street frontage of the project as well as the construction of curb and gutter. Each house will have a 25 foot front and rear yard setbacks, with side yards of ten (10) feet. Swimming pools are shown in the rear yards of each lot. The two car garage driveways for the interior four lots will be 16 feet in width with a reduced width for the corner Lot 1 to meet City Engineering standards based upon the required distance from intersecting streets. • Architecture The applicant is proposing two house types: Unit Design "A"; and Unit Design "B". The streetscape will alternate each unit type with three of design A and two of design B. Each house is proposed to be 2-story with a maximum height of 24 feet. Unit A includes a front fagade with a two car garage, front entry door, with a second story balcony with wide roof overhang. The house will have a stucco finish painted beige with aluminum windows, doors, garage door, glass balcony railings, with slate tile veneer accent elements on the front fagade. Unit B will have a flat front fagade with stucco finish painted dark green with deep bronze window and door finish, metal facias and chimney cap. This elevation includes exposed wood finish for garage door and other accent elements. The rear elevation for both house types includes sliders leading out to a pool area and second story balconies. Side elevations for both house types include a series of small square windows and first floor sliders leading out to the side yard. • 62 Planning Commission Staff Report November 12, 2014-- Page 6 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W.

Via Olivera • a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the general plan pursuant to Sections 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the Mixed Use / Multi Use designation. The project will bring revitalization to a parcel that has been vacant for decades. Additionally, the proposed development is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and surrounding development. b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed planned development district, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations. The project site is relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage. Access to each new home will be from an improved street with a 23-foot long driveway. The residential lots range in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,094-squre feet which is similar to other zero lot line developments in the City. The site layout will allow the maximizing of view corridors for the project and its surroundings. New sidewalks, curbs and gutters will be installed along West Via Olivera as well as a portion of Zanjaro • Road. C. The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents. The proposed establishment of the Planned Development District is necessary to provide an updated design concept similar to the existing developments within the City. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents but will enhance the already established neighborhood by allowing a long vacant parcel to develop into new residential housing. Furthermore, the Planned Development District will modify height and setback requirements in a manner that will not be detrimental to the existing land uses in the immediate vicinity. Tentative Parcel Map Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act. If any of these findings are not met, the City shall deny approval: a. That the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable • general and specific plans. 65 Planning Commission Staff Report November 12, 2014— Page 9 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera The TPM proposes a five (5) lot single-family residential development with access to an • existing improved street. The proposed residential development meets the maximum allowed residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre with the enactment of a Planned Development District. The PDD will allow for the implementation of development standards that are customized to the proposed development. No specific plans are associated with the subject property. The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan, and this finding has been met. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The proposed single-family development is not consistent with the R-2 zone in which the property is located. However, the PDD proposes a set of development standards and design details with smaller setbacks than would otherwise be required by the underlying zone. The overall density is less than the maximum allowable with a PDD for the zone and the average lot size is smaller than required by the zone. Improvements proposed include single family homes which are permitted relative to the R-1-A standards. The applicant seeks approval of a PDD permitting single family uses. With the approval of the PDD, the project will be consistent with this finding. c. The site is physically suited for this type of development. A subject parcel is a flat vacant lot with existing native vegetation which can be graded • to accommodate construction of single-family residences. Site modifications include the placement of a new curb, gutter and sidewalk along W. Via Olivera; and half street improvements for Zanjaro Road on the East side of the new development. The site is physically suited for this type of development and the finding has been met. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The proposed project of five (5) single-family residential lots ranging in size from 4,471- square feet and one corner lot of 5,034-squre feet equaling 28 du/ac is consistent with the allowable density under the General Plan with the approval of a Planned Development District. The site abuts improved public streets with existing utilities and right-of-way widths that are projected in the City's 2007 General Plan update to operate at normal levels of service (LOS). e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Parcel Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and subsequent to Section 15332, Infill Development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan with the approval of a PDD. The site is a flat lot with an average slope less than 20% and does not include any natural habitat. The project will • therefore not damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitats. 66 Planning Commission Staff Report November 12, 2014--Page 10 Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the proposed subdivision includes connections to all public utilities including water and sewer systems. The private driveways from an improved street will provide access to the individual homes. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project was reviewed by staff, and determined to be exempt under Section 15332, Infill Development. A Notice of Exemption is proposed for the project. • Glenn Walker, AICP Assistant Planner Flinn Fagg, AIC Director of Planning Services Attachments: 1. Vicinity Map 2. Resolution 3.

We own adjoining land as shown in "yellow" on the attached map. In principle, we have no significant opposition to the proposed project. That said,we believe it important—and would request—that the city require the developer to provide proper disclosures to future homebuyers regarding the potential development of • the adjoining lands(our lands)—particularly in that it appears the backyards and swimming pools of the above referenced proposed project face south,towards our property. Like the applicant's,our lands adjacent to the proposed project are designated Mixed Use-Multi Use in the General Plan with an R-2 Zoning designation. We expect a residential development will be proposed on our lands,likely of a multi-family character and like our neighbors—may be two-story. Although we do not suggest stifling future public discourse to our proposed project—it is important to insure that a proper disclosure and education is provided to future homeowners such that it is clearly understood development is contemplated on lands surrounding their future home—and as such,the development could be multi-family and two-story. We simply wish to notify, disclose and share information to minimize the potential for any future misunderstandings. Thank you for your time. We ask that this request is forwarded to the Planning Commission and entered into the record. Sincerely, For NORTH FIRST STREET PROPERTIES, LP William B.
