AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SUBSECTION D.16 OF
SECTION 92.04.01 OF THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL
CODE ALLOWING RESTAURANTS THAT ARE AN
INTEGRAL PART OF HOTELS WITH AT LEAST 20
GUEST ROOMS IN THE R-3 ZONE SUBJECT TO A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. (CASE 5.1334 ZTA).
City Attorney Summary
The City's Zoning Code allows restaurants that are an integral part of
hotels which contain 30 to 99 guest rooms, subject to a conditional use
permit. This Ordinance will amend the Code to allow such restaurants in
hotels which contain at least 20 guest rooms, subject to a conditional use
permit.
The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds:
A. The proposed zone text amendment (Case 5.1334 ZTA) is 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 amendment proposes only insignificant changes to the title and
provides additional restaurant options with a Conditional Use Permit in hotels having
more than 20 rooms in the R-3 zone.
B. The proposed zoning code amendment is consistent with the intent of the zoning
code, because, according to Section 91.00.00, the Zoning Code is adopted "for the
purpose of promoting and protecting the public health, safety and welfare of the people
of the City of Palm Springs and to provide for the social, physical and economic
advantages resulting from comprehensive and orderly planned use of land resources.
C. The proposed zoning code amendment is consistent with the intent of the
general plan, including without limitation the General Plan priorities:
LU7.6 Retain small hotel uses as part of the unique character of Palm
Springs.
LU7.9 Strongly discourage the conversion of small hotels to permanent
housing units.
The City Council of the City of Palm Springs ordains:
SECTION 1. Palm Springs Zoning Code Subsection D.16 of Section 92.04.01 of
the Palm Springs Municipal Code is amended to read:
