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 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.
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
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 Parcel Map
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 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 TPM 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;
o Increased density to 28 dwelling units per acre;
o Building height 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
os

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 '/ 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.

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).
G. 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;
09
City Council Staff Report
December 17, 2014 -- Page 10
Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MIN 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera
The subject property is approximately 23,039-square foot in size and will be subdivided
to accommodate 5 residential lots fronting along W. 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.
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:

City Council Staff Report
December 17, 2014 -- Page 11
Cases 5.1348 PD 373, MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera
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).
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
' 1 i
City Council Staff Report
December 17, 2014 -- Page 12
Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAJ 3.3730; TPM 36737— 199 W. Via Olivera
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.

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. 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;
� s
Resolution No.
Page 4
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.
SECTION 3. Architectural Review. Pursuant to Section 94.04.00 "Architectural Review"
of the Zoning Code, the proposed project is evaluated against the review guidelines
listed in subsection (D) as follows:
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to
one another and to open spaces and topography. 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
i7
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.
. 8
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 Parcel 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 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
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 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).
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.
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 '/z 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council approves Planned Development District 373 and the project architecture and
approves Case Number 5.1348, PD-373 and Tentative Tract Map 36737.

November 12, 2014
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
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
development in this neighborhood.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has carefully reviewed and considered all of the
evidence presented in connection with the meeting on the project, including but not
limited to the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: 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; 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

5.1348-PD373/3.3730-MAJ/TTM 36737—Via Clivera
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-squire 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).

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 '/z 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.

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
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.
J 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.

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 facade 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 facade.
Unit B will have a flat front facade 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.

REQUIRED FINDINGS
Planned Development District
Findings can be made in support of establishing the proposed Planned Development
District as follows:
64
Planning Commission Staff Report
November 12, 2014 -- Page 8
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 i 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.

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.

RE: Cases 5.1348 PD 373; MAI 3.3730; TPM 36737-199 W.Via Olivera
Dear Mr. Fagg:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input on the above referenced Cases. 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
