PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located on the north side of Vista Chino Road at the Kaweah Road
terminus (west of Palm Canyon Drive). The property was previously disturbed with
development as depicted by remnants of deteriorating flat-work and a low garden wall
along the street frontage. A sidewalk exists along the street. The site is surrounded by
development consisting of a mixture of land uses on three sides and is a transition
parcel between residential to the south and west and resort / hotel to the east and north.
The proposed development consists of the subdivision of an existing 0.91-acre lot into
three residential lots with private access. Each lot will be approximately 13,198-square
feet in size.
The application includes the architectural plans of the three single-family residences at
approximately 2,300-square feet each. The floor plan will be the same for each lot and
consist of three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms with a two car garage.
Elevations will differ for each home.
ANALYSIS:
General Plan
Land Use: The current General Plan Land Use of the project site is "TRC' (Tourist Resort
Commercial), which is described as follows:
Tourist Resort Commercial (0.35 FAR for stand-alone commercial uses; 43
hotel rooms per net acre; 86 rooms per net acre on Indian Land). This land
use designation provides for large-scale resort hotels and timeshares including a
broad range of convenience, fitness, spa, retail, and entertainment uses
principally serving resort clientele. Commercial recreation and entertainment
facilities, such as convention centers, museums, indoor and outdoor theatres,
and water parks are included in this designation, but should be designed to be
compatible with neighboring development. Tourist Resort Commercial facilities
are most appropriate in the Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Drive
corridors. It is intended that the primary use in any Tourist Resort Commercial
4
City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014 -- Page 5
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 & TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court"
area shall be hotel/tourist-related uses; if residential uses are proposed within the
Tourist Commercial Designation (timeshares, condominiums, etc.) they shall be a
secondary use ancillary to the proposed hotel uses and shall not exceed a
maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre. Permanent residential uses and
commercial activities are allowed subject to approval of a planned development
district.
An amendment to change the designation from "TRC" to "LDR" (Low Density Residential) is
proposed for the project site. The General Plan describes this designation as follows:
Low Density Residential (up to 6.0 dwelling units per acre). Similar to the
Very Low Density Residential designation, the Low Density Residential
designation also represents `typical' single-family detached residential
development and other uses allowed by code.
The project proposes detached single-family dwellings at a density of about 3 units per the
acre. This is consistent with the proposed land use designation. Additional analysis on the
General Plan Amendment is found below in the Required Findings section of this report.
Zoning
The project site is zoned "R-3" (Multiple-family and Hotel) with an overlay zone of "R" (Resort
Overlay). The applicant seeks approval of a PD-in-lieu of zone change. If approved, the new
zoning of the site would be PD-368.
Permitted Uses:
Single-family residential is prohibited under the "R-3" zone. The PD-in-lieu of zone change
will specifically permit single-family residential within PD-368. Accessory structures and uses will
be consistent with the R-1 Zone, Section 92.01 .03 of the Zoning Code.
The Resort Overlay zone requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit when multiple-
family dwellings are proposed. Since the project proposes single-family residential, no additional
requirements must be fulfilled.

City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014-- Page 7
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 &TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court'
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
General Plan Amendment: State of California Governmental Code Sections 65350 —
65362, outline the procedures and requirements for Cities and Counties to create and
amend their General Plan. There are, however, no specific findings for a General Plan
Amendment. Staff has evaluated the GPA based upon the following:
• Compatibility of the proposed designation with adjacent land uses.
• Potential adverse impacts to existing or future development in the vicinity.
Compatibility of the proposed designation with adjacent land uses.
The project site is surrounded by a mix of existing land uses including single family
residential, multi-family residential and hotel developments. This remaining vacant lot is
an in-fill site that transitions the existing single-family residential to the west and tourist
resort area to the east. The re-designation will provide a logical transition between the
Estate Residential (up to 2 units per acre) and Tourist Resort Commercial land uses.
Potential adverse impacts to existing or future development in the area.
The amendment will allow low density residential development. The General Plan
Amendment from "TRU to "LDR" for the subject parcel provides a logical transition
between large lot single family and resort hotels. The area around the proposed project
is fully built out and the proposed project represents infill development of a type,
density, massing and scale that is consistent with and complementary to, the existing
neighborhood in which it is proposed.
Staff has concluded that the requested General Plan Amendment poses no detrimental
impacts to existing or future development in the vicinity.
Planned Development in lieu of Zone Change: The Planning Commission and City
Council must find that a Planned Development Districts proposed in-lieu of zone change
is consistent with the findings outlined in Section 94.07.00 Change of Zone. Those
findings are listed below with Staffs analysis.
1. The proposed change of zone is in conformity with the general plan
map and report. Any amendment of the general plan necessitated by the
proposed change of zone should be made according to the procedure set
forth in the State Planning Law either prior to the zone change, or notice
may be given and hearings held on such general plan amendment
concurrently with notice and hearings on the proposed change of zone.
The General Plan land use designation of the subject site is LDR (Low Density
Residential). This designation allows residential uses with densities of up to six dwelling
City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014 -- Page 8
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 &TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court'
units per acre. The proposed project includes single family residences at a density of
about three dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the type and density of
development within the LDR land use designation. Thus, the proposed change of zone
is in conformity with the General Plan map and report.
2. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the
proposed zone, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or
related uses, and other considerations deemed relevant by the
commission and council.
The density of the proposed project is much less than the R-3 zone permits. The
proposed site plan incorporates a private access way that will be required to conform to
the minimum width standards for access and safety. The project proposes lot sizes that
are adequate to provide usable outdoor space, including outdoor living. Thus, the
project is deemed consistent with this finding.
3. The proposed change of zone is necessary and proper at this time,
and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents.
The applicant proposes single-story single-family dwelling units on individual lots
exceeding 13,000-square feet in size. Similar development exists to the west and
south. The proposed zone change is necessary and proper to allow a lower density
project. The use would not be detrimental to adjacent property or residents in this area
due to a less dense project and zoning.
PDD CUP Findings: A Planned Development District (PDD) is subject to the
requirements of Zoning Code Section 94.02.00 Conditional Use Permit (CUP), 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;
As part of the proposed project, a change of zone from R-3 to PD-368 has been
requested to allow single family residential. Section 94.03.00 specifically allows such
action; therefore, the use applied for at the subject location is properly 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
8
City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014 -- Page 9
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 &TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court"
specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located;
The proposed use is a typical form of single-family living within Palm Springs with lot
sizes at roughly 13,200 square feet in size. Each site will accommodate a one-story
residence with garage and private yard space. Other projects of similar design and size
are located west of the project site. Therefore, the use is desirable for the development
of the community.
The land use designation of the site is LDR (Low Density Residential), which is
described as "'typical' single-family detached residential development and other uses as
allowed by code." The proposed single-family residential use is detached. Thus, the
use is consistent with the general plan.
The project will consist of one-story single-family residential on vacant land which will be
re-zoned to PD-368. 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-368).
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 0.91-acres in total size and will be subdivided to
accommodate three residential lots with a reciprocal access easement. The PD will
establish all development standards for each residential parcel to accommodate a
typical single-family residence with open space and outdoor living. The development
will be consistent in height as those existing uses to the west and south. 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
property designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to
be generated by the proposed use;
The project site is located adjacent to West Vista Chino Road, which is defined as a
Collector road by the General Plan Circulation Element. Collectors are designed as two
9
City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014 -- Page 10
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 &TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court"
lanes and typically carry local traffic. Vista Chino Road is improved to two lanes wide.
Thus, the adjacent street is properly designed and improved to carry the type of traffic
expected for a 3-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) and
is considered exempt from further review, pursuant to Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA
Guidelines. Conditions imposed include code requirements to ensure the public health,
safety and general welfare is protected.
Tentative Parcel Map: Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to
Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act. These findings and a discussion of the
project as it relates to these findings follow:
a. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable
general and specific plans.
The TPM proposes three individual residential lots with a reciprocal access easement.
The proposed density is less than the maximum density permitted by the Low Density
Residential General Plan land use designation. No specific plans are associated with
the subject property.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel
Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed project design and improvements will be consistent with the standards
and design details of PD-368, which is the proposed zoning for the TPM. The project
includes single-family lots that are approximately 13,200-square feet in size; access is
provided via improved reciprocal access easement on the east side of the property.
With the approval of the PD, the project will be consistent with this finding.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is generally flat with a slight slope from northwest to southeast.
Residential development exists to the west and south, while hotel development exists to
the east and north. The project is an in-fill property and was previously disturbed. A
total of three residences are proposed on the 0.91-acre site. The site has adequate
vehicular access with the proposed 25-foot wide vehicular easement to each parcel.
Therefore, the site is physically suited for this type of development.
10
City Council Staff Report
November 5, 2014 -- Page 11
Case Nos. 5.1333 PD-368 & TPM 36686—"Kaptur Court"
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The project proposes three single-family dwelling units on approximately 0.91-acres or
roughly three dwelling units / acre, which is consistent with the density under the General
Plan. The site abuts improved public streets with existing utilities and with 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 site is an in-fill project that was previously disturbed. The site 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 layout of an internal private street provides access to each
lot. No serious public health problems are anticipated.
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:
General Plan Amendment. Staff has determined the General Plan Amendment to
reclassify the property to a lesser density than existing to be a Class 5 Categorical
Exemption (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
PDD and TPM: The proposal to construct three single-family dwellings within an
urbanized area is Categorically Exempt from CEQA as a Class 3 Exemption, pursuant
to Section 15303(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. Subdivisions of four or fewer parcels are
exempt from further environmental review as a Class 15 exemption, pursuant to Section
15315.

Page 2
Land Use Limitations) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, because the "LDR" designation is a lesser density and lesser land use
intensity than the current "TRC" land designation.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to State of California Governmental Code Sections
65350 — 65362, although there are no specific findings for a General Plan Amendment
the City Council has evaluated the requested GPA based upon the following:
Findings of Compatibility of the proposed land use designation with
existing adjacent land uses.
The project site is surrounded by a variety of existing land uses including single
family residential, multi-family residential and hotel developments. This remaining
vacant lot is an in-fill site that transitions the existing single-family residential to the west
and tourist resort area to the east. The re-designation will provide a logical transition
between the Estate Residential (up to 2 units per acre) and Tourist Resort Commercial
land uses.
Potential adverse impacts to existing or future development in the
area.
The amendment will allow low density residential development. The General
Plan Amendment from "TRC' to "LDR" for the subject parcel provides a logical
transition between large lot single family and resort hotels. The area around the
proposed project is fully built out and the proposed project represents infill development
of a type, density, massing and scale that is consistent with and complementary to, the
existing neighborhood in which it is proposed.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves Case No. 5.1333 GPA, an
amendment to the Land Use Map of the 2007 General Plan of the City of Palm Springs
by changing the land use designation of a 0.91-acre parcel on the north side of Vista
Chino Road at Kaweah Road from "TRC' (Tourist Resort Commercial) to "LDR" (Low
Density Residential) to allow a transition between Estate Residential to the west and
Tourist Resort Commercial to the east, as shown in the attached Exhibit A.

WHEREAS, on November 5, 2014, a public hearing on the application for the
project was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, the project has been determined to be a project subject to environmental

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The project has been reviewed under the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council deems the project
exempt from CEQA, due to the following:
1. Construction of three single-family dwellings within an urbanized
area is Categorically Exempt as a Class 3 Exemption, pursuant to Section
15303(a) of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. Subdivisions of four or fewer parcels are exempt from further
environmental review as a Class 15 exemption, pursuant to Section 15315
of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 2. Planned Development District. Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 (E)
"Planned Development Districts"of the Zoning Code, a Planned Development District in
lieu of a Change of Zone (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 and report.
The General Plan land use designation of the subject site is LDR (Low
Density Residential). This designation allows residential uses with densities of
up to six dwelling units per acre. The proposed project includes single family
residences at a density of about 3 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent
with the type and density of development within the LDR land use designation.
Thus, the proposed change of zone is in conformity with the General Plan map
and report.
19
Resolution No.
Page 3
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 density of the proposed project is much less than the R-3 zone
permits. The proposed site plan incorporates a private access way that will be
required to conform to the minimum width for access and safety. The project
proposes lot sizes that are adequate to provide usable outdoor space, including
outdoor living. Thus, the project is deemed consistent with this finding.
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 applicant proposes single-story single-family dwelling units on
individual lots exceeding 13,000-square feet in size. Similar development exists
to the west and south. The proposed zone change is necessary and proper to
allow a lower density project. The use would not be detrimental to adjacent
property or residents in this area due to a less dense project and zoning.
In addition to the above, required findings outlined in Section 94.02.00
Conditional Use Permit apply 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;
As part of the proposed project, a change of zone from R-3 to PD-368 has
been requested to allow single family residential. Section 94.03.00 specifically
allows such action; therefore, the use applied for at the subject location is
property 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 typical form of single-family living within Palm
Springs with lot sizes at roughly 13,200 square feet in size. Each site will
accommodate a one-story residence with garage and private yard space. Other
projects of similar design and size are located west of the project site. Therefore,
the use is desirable for the development of the community.
20
Resolution No.
Page 4
The land use designation of the site is LDR (Low Density Residential),
which is described as "'typical' single-family detached residential development
and other uses as allowed by code." The proposed single-family residential use
is detached. Thus, the use is consistent with the general plan.
The project will consist of one-story single-family residential on vacant
land which will be re-zoned to PD-368. 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-368).
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 0.91-acres in total size and will be
subdivided to accommodate three residential lots with a reciprocal access
easement. The PD will establish all development standards for each residential
parcel to accommodate a typical single-family residence with open space and
outdoor living. The development will be consistent in height as those existing
uses to the west and south. 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 adjacent to West Vista Chino Road, which is
defined as a Collector road by the General Plan Circulation Element. Collectors
are designed as two lanes and typically carry local traffic. Vista Chino Road is
improved to two lanes wide. Thus, the adjacent street is properly designed and
improved to carry the type of traffic expected for a 3-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.
21
Resolution No.
Page 5
The project was evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and is considered exempt from further review, pursuant to Section
15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines. Conditions imposed include code
requirements to ensure the public health, safety and general welfare is protected.
SECTION 3. 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. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general
and specific plans.
The TPM proposes three individual residential lots with a reciprocal
access easement. The proposed density is less than the maximum density
permitted by the Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation. No
specific plans are associated with the subject property.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are
consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed project design and improvements will be consistent with the
standards and design details of PD-368, which is the proposed zoning for the
TPM. The project includes single-family lots that are approximately 13,200-
square feet in size; access is provided via improved reciprocal access easement
on the east side of the property. With the approval of the PD, the project will be
consistent with this finding.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is generally flat with a slight slope from northwest to
southeast. Residential development exists to the west and south, while hotel
development exists to the east and north. The project is an in-fill property and
was previously disturbed. A total of three residences are proposed on the 0.91-
acre site. The site has adequate vehicular access with the proposed 25-foot
wide vehicular easement to each parcel. Therefore, the site is physically suited
for this type of development.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The project proposes three single-family dwelling units on approximately
0.91-acres or roughly three dwelling units / acre, which is consistent with the
density under the General Plan. The site abuts improved public streets with
existing utilities and with 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
22
Resolution No.
Page 6
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The site is an in-fill project that was previously disturbed. The site 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 layout of an internal private street
provides access to each lot. No serious public health problems are anticipated.
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 City Council finds that the Public Benefit is
identified as the project as a benefit, including the development of a deteriorated, in-fill
lot.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council hereby approves Case 5.1333 PDD 368 for the development of three single-
family residential dwellings on individual lots with private access, and Tentative Parcel
Map No. 36686 to subdivide a roughly 0.91-acre parcel into three residential lots located
on the north side of Vista Chino Road at Kaweah Road (260 West Vista Chino Road),
subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A.

Ordinance No.
Page 2
WHEREAS, an ordinance was prepared for two readings before Council
for the approval of Case No. 5.1333 PDD 368 in-lieu of change of zone; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of
the evidence presented in connection with the meetings on the project, including
but not limited to the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The proposed amendment is considered a "project' pursuant
to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and the
proposed amendment be determined to be Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of CEQA under Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act,
because the proposed zone text proposes minor changes to land use limitations
for the 0.91-acre site; and
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Section 94.07.00 (Change of Zone), "the council
in reviewing a proposed change of zone shall consider whether the following
conditions exist in reference to the proposed zoning of the subject property.-
1. The proposed change of zone is in conformity with the
general plan map and report. Any amendment of the general plan
necessitated by the proposed change of zone should be made
according to the procedure set forth in the State Planning Law
either prior to the zone change, or notice may be given and
hearings held on such general plan amendment concurrently with
notice and hearings on the proposed change of zone.
The General Plan land use designation of the subject site is LDR (Low
Density Residential). This designation allows residential uses with densities of
up to six dwelling units per acre. The proposed project includes single family
residences at a density of about three dwelling units per acre, which is consistent
with the type and density of development within the LDR land use designation.
Thus, the proposed change of zone is in conformity with the General Plan map
and report.
2. 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 density of the proposed project is much less than the R-3 zone
permits. The proposed site plan incorporates a private access way that will be
42
Ordinance No.
Page 3
required to conform to the minimum width standards for access and safety. The
project proposes lot sizes that are adequate to provide usable outdoor space,
including outdoor living. Thus, the project is deemed consistent with this finding.
C. The proposed change of zone is necessary and
proper at this time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent
property or residents.
The applicant proposes single-story single-family dwelling units on
individual lots exceeding 13,000-square feet in size. Similar development exists
to the west and south. The proposed zone change is necessary and proper to
allow a lower density project. The use would not be detrimental to adjacent
property or residents in this area due to a less dense project and zoning.
SECTION 3. The City Council adopts an ordinance to approve the zone
map change which changes the land use classification / zoning designation from
R-3 to PD 368 for a roughly 0.91-acre area located on the north side of West
Vista Chino Road and Kaweah Road, in conjunction with Case Nos. 5.1333 PDD
368, subject to those conditions of approval attached as Exhibit "A" to Resolution
SECTION 4. Effective Date: This Ordinance shall be in full force and
effect thirty (30) days after passage.
SECTION 5. Publication: The City Clerk is hereby ordered to and
directed to certify to the passage of this Ordinance, and to cause the same or
summary thereof or a display advertisement, duly prepared according to law, to
be published in accordance with law.

JUSTIFICATION LETTER
0 Vista Chino - Vacant Land
APN# 504-310-011
The subject property existing zoning is R3, our interest is in developing Three R1
lots and build three Mid-century inspired homes designed by Architect Hugh Kaptur.
It is our understanding in order to achieve our goals, we must first apply for the
General Plan Amendment. In a letter signed by Margo Wheeler, Palm Springs City
Planning Director, and after discussions with David Ready, Palm Springs City
Manager, the city will be the applicant for the General Plan Amendment due to the
fact the city believes the concurrent designation is not the most appropriate for this
small parcel of land.
With the current multi-family zoning, the developer will be required to make an
application for a Planned Development District in order to accommodate the size,
dimensions and setbacks for the proposed lots.
Thank you for r sideration.
