NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS:
Section 1: The City Council's approval of this Tentative Parcel Map is within the
scope of the Addendum adopted on October 17, 2012, and none of the circumstances
triggering further environmental review have occurred since the adoption of the
Addendum: (i) there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions
of the Specific Plan EIR and Addendum due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; (ii) there are no substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major
revisions of the Specific Plan EIR and Addendum due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; and (iii) there is no new information of substantial importance, which
was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable
diligence at the time the Specific Plan EIR and Addendum was certified showing that:
(a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Specific
Plan EIR and Addendum; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially
more severe than shown in the Specific Plan EIR and Addendum; (c) mitigation
measures or alternatives previously found not feasible would in fact be feasible, and
Resolution No. 23266
Page 3
would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the
mitigation measures or alternatives have not been adopted; or (d) mitigation measures
or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and
Addendum would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the mitigation measures or alternatives have not been adopted. No
further environmental review is required (Public Resources Code § 21166; California
Code of Regulations § 15162.)
Section 2: The following findings required for the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are
pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act. If any of these findings
are met, the City shall deny approval:
1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specific in Section 65451;
The project is subject to the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan ("Specific
Plan"), which governs as both general plan and specific plan (zoning) for
the site. The proposed map implements the land use and development
objectives of the Specific Plan by establishing a public street grid within
the boundaries of the site and in alignment with surrounding streets. The
plan further establishes lots of record for the redevelopment of small
commercial blocks in the City's downtown core, which is a primary
objective of the specific plan. Consequently, the proposed map is
consistent with the applicable general and specific plans, and this finding
is not met.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not
consistent with applicable general and specific plans,-
The design of the proposed subdivision and the associated improvements
will implement the goals and objectives of the applicable Museum Market
Plaza Specific Plan in that public streets, sidewalks, parking facilities and
related public facilities will be established within the project boundaries in
support of future private development. The design of the street grid will
provide vehicular access and parking, as well as pedestrian access in
alignment with surrounding streets and sidewalks ways that will extend the
urban character of the surrounding area into the site. Consequently, the
design of the proposed subdivision and the associated improvements are
consistent with the applicable general and specific plans, and this finding
is not met.
3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development;
The site is slightly more than thirteen (13) acres and is generally flat with a
gentle slope from north to south and west to east. Existing improvements
Resolution No. 23266
Page 4
on the site include underground parking facilities, which are to be retained
and an enclosed retail shopping center, which will be largely demolished.
Surrounding areas are developed with urban commercial buildings and
uses. The site will accommodate the proposed subdivision of fourteen
private lots and associated public streets, and the subdivision will facilitate
re-use of the site for an expansion of the City's downtown retail
commercial core, as intended by the applicable Museum Market Plaza
Specific Plan. Consequently, the site is physically suitable for the type of
development, and this finding is not met.
4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of
development,-
The subdivision proposes to establish public streets and public and private
parcels within a flat, gently sloping site to expand the existing downtown
core. The proposed density of development will included existing
underground parking; one, two and three story buildings; as well as a
multi-story hotel and future development on fourteen parcels. The site is
bordered by two major thoroughfares (N. Palm Canyon Drive and West
Tahquitz Canyon Way), and additional local public streets will be
constructed. Adequate lot sizes, access and parking are provided for the
proposed density of development. Consequently, the site is physically
suitable for the proposed density of development and this finding is not
met.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat,-
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements have been
evaluated under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and an Environmental Impact Report, Statement of Overriding
Considerations, Mitigation Monitoring Program and subsequent EIR
Addendum have been prepared and certified for the proposed subdivision.
No substantial environmental damage nor substantially or avoidable injury
to fish, wildlife or their habitat is expected to occur. Consequently, this
finding is not met.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to
cause serious public health problems,-
No serious public health problems have been identified in the certified
Specific Plan EIR, Statement of Overriding Considerations, Mitigation
Monitoring Program or subsequent EIR Addendum prepared for the
Resolution No. 23266
Page 5
proposed subdivision and its anticipated improvements. Consequently,
this finding is not met.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict
with easement, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the
governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for
access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection
shall apply only to easement of record or to easement established by
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby
granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has
acquired easements for access through or use of property with the
proposed subdivision;
All easements on or near the subject site have been identified and no
conflict has been detected. New easements and other agreements have
been established between the applicants, including the City of Palm
Springs to resolve all access issues. Consequently, this finding is not met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, based on the foregoing, the City Council
hereby approves Tentative Parcel Map No. 36446 to subdivide the Museum Market
Plaza property of approximately 13.57 acres into 14 parcels for development and 4 lots
for public infrastructure, located at the northwest corner of Palm Canyon Drive and
Tahquitz Canyon, as indicated on the attached map, Exhibit A, and subject to those
conditions set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part of this resolution.
ADOPTED this 1 g`h day of December, 2012.
