Subject: Nexus Development Case 5.1082
Mr. Ewing:
I was surprised to learn late today that the Nexus Development Case 5.1082 at Caballeros and E.Alejo is on City
Council's meeting agenda for this Wednesday. As a resident of Alejo Vista across Caballeros, I have never
received any required notice of this proposed development. I have checked with most all neighbors and find that
none of them have received any notice.
I am somewhat familiar with the project as our association was asked whether we would accept artwork on our
property as part of the plan. At this time I know nothing has been agreed to with Nexus or the City as to
ownership and perpetual care of any artwork. This fact is only brushed by in the staff report linked to the agenda
item despite the fact our Board President wrote to Mr. Robertson expressing the Board's opposition to the
elimination of the median in Caballeros. This needs to be further addressed as part of any approval by Council.
I would suggest you review this with your staff to assure this case has been properly administered before it is
presented to Council.

Subject: Nexus development
Cynthia,
Thanks for your help today. I'm attaching the letter I sent on March 3rd regarding the Nexus development at Aledo and
Caballeros. Our concerns about the existing traffic overload at this intersection are not reflected in the staff report and documents I
reviewed today.
We all drive through this corner and it could be any of us that is hurt next, when 84 new condos add to the existing traffic hazard
on this corner. Please make sure this is brought to the attention of the City Council.
Thank you!

Re: Case: 5.1082-PD 321, TTM 34165
Nexus Development proposed for Avenida Caballeros and Alejo Road
Traffic Hazard at Caballeros and Alejo
We own a home at 521 N. Avenida Caballeros, one of the closest residences to
the proposed development. There is a serious existing traffic overload hazard at
the four-way stop at Alejo and Caballeros.
We have witnessed many accidents and near-accidents at this overloaded corner
and hear screeching brakes at intervals throughout the day. The Caballeros route
is now heavily used by huge delivery trucks and also by ambulances and fire
engines on route to Desert Hospital.
On January 19, 2006, 1 spoke to Cynthia Nelson, VP of Government Relations at
Nexus Development, about traffic concerns on this corner. She said she was
unaware of any traffic control problems at Alejo and Caballeros and further said
she had been told by the city there were no traffic concerns affecting the
proposed development at this location.
By adding 84 multiple family dwellings to this corner, with the attendant load of
several hundred extra vehicles, you will be multiplying the existing traffic hazard
at this overloaded corner.
Ideally, a traffic light will be installed at this corner and efforts will be made to
divert commercial traffic off of Caballeros to multi-lane alternatives such as
Sunrise or Farrell.
If you approve this proiect without addressing the traffic hazard at the corner of
Caballeros and Aleio, the city will be neglecting public safety.

Subject: Nexus Development-Avenida Caballeros/Alejo Road - Case 5.1082
Monday 17 April, 2006 4'
tF,
I am a resident and house owner in the Alejo Vista development, Alejo Road/Avenida Caballeros, ie within 500 feet of the
proposed Nexus Development case 5.1082.
1 have only tonight had the opportunity to read the council documents scheduled to be subject of a public hearing on Wednesday
19 April, 2006.
1) Despite the certificate by the City Clerk, I have not received any notice of public hearing scheduled for this coming
Wednesday. As I understand it from our site manager it seems that neither has anybody else in this development, thus rendering
The Clerk's assertion questionable and the public hearing potentially invalid.
It is also my understanding that Dennis Freeman, developer of this site and also of the Palomino development on Avda Caballeros
(within 500 feet of the proposed development) has not received the specified notice.
2) Unless I have misunderstood something previously, we (as part of our acquisition costs) have paid for construction of the
median in Avenida Caballeros via DL Freeman that being a City requirement as part of this development.
3) If a median was deemed essential less than 18 months ago, why is it now possible to replace it with painted stripe lines and
what reimbursement will the city or the developer make for this unnecessary cost placed upon us so recently.
4) 1 would like to know the criteria used by the City Engineer in evaluating the added traffic risks at this busy junction, stated in
terms of potential ingress/egress traffic from Avenida Caballeros into the proposed complex. Has the City Police Traffic Dept
been asked to comment on any increased potential for road accidents.
Why should not the access be from Alejo Road and the exit be northbound on Avda Caballeros or vice versa?
How will this additional traffic impact vehicles exiting our complex from our Avda Caballeros gate?
As our right turn into Avda Caballeros will be less protected from overtaking traffic racing away southbound from the junction of
Alejo Road and Avda Caballeros there may be potential hazards involved.
5) 1 am furthermore concerned about the ownership and perpetual care of any (not yet fully specified) "artwork"that may be
placed on our private property.
I am trying to re-arrange my diary to be able to be present at the public hearing but will be prepared to contest the validity
thereof in view of the apparent lack of notice, but should the hearing proceed you may find it useful for staff to have answers to the
above questions.
respectfully,

DWELLING UNITS WITH PRIVATE STREETS LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF AVENIDA CABALLEROS AND ALEJO
ROAD (444 AVENIDA CABALLEROS AND 1013 ALEJO ROAD)
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a proposed 8.5-acre project consisting of 84
condominium town home units fronting onto internal loop streets, with individual private
yard areas, common areas that include access, guest parking, and a community
swimming pool, along with the environmental assessment and Negative Declaration for
the project. The project includes a Planned Development District to establish design
standards and guidelines, and a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the site for
condominium purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony.
2. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CASE NUMBER

3. Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE ZONING MAP BY APPROVING
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 321, FOR THE 8.5-ACRE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF AVENIDA CABALLEROS AND
ALEJO ROAD, SECTION 14, T4S, R4E, SBBM."
PRIOR ACTIONS:
On March 8, 2006, the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission which
adopted a favorable recommendation to City Council (by a vote of 6-0-1, Commissioner
Shoenberger absent). Based on Planning Commission discussion, the Public Works
Department revised Engineering Conditions 19-22 and 24 to allow alternatives to curbs,
to allow accessible paths of travel rather than on--site sidewalks, and to allow decorative
pavement. Condition 23, requiring accessible curb cuts, was deleted since on-site
curbs are no longer required. The attached Conditions of Approval reflect these
Changes, with renumbered Conditions 24 and following. The Conditions also reflect a
compromise design of access to Avenida Caballeros based on discussions with
adjacent residents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The project consists of a Planned Development District (PDD) to establish design
:standards and guidelines for a proposed 84-unit condominium complex. In conjunction
with the PD, a Tentative Tract Map has been filed to allow subdivision of the site for
condominium purposes. The proposed project would be located on a site that currently
contains the La Mancha Villas and Spa Resort that was developed in 1988-1990 with 50
condominium style villas with tennis courts, swimming pools, a restaurant, and a
maintenance facility (occupying a former house). Existing development on-site is
currently vacant, in a state of disrepair, and will be removed.
The site is within the Section 14 Specific Plan area with standards that augment
underlying R-G-A zone standards. Relief from several standards is being sought
through the PDD mechanism to allow variation in standards relating to zoning density
((but maintaining conformity with General Plan density), allowance of two-story buildings
within 200 feet of single-family residential zones across Alejo Road, building
separations of ten feet, and site layout.
A more detailed analysis can be seen in the attached Planning Commission Staff
Report dated March 8, 2006. Findings in support of approving the proposed subdivision
are included in the attached draft resolution of approval.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study was conducted for
the proposed project. That study concluded that with the incorporation of proposed
mitigation measures, any potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from
this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance, and that a Mitigated Negative

WHEREAS, the City Council 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 CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been completed in
compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines.
The City Council finds that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures,
potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced
to a level of insignificance. The City Council has independently reviewed and
considered the information contained in the MND prior to its review of this Project and
the MND reflects the City Councils independent judgment and analysis.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 (E) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the
City Council makes the following findings:
a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the
general plan pursuant to Sections 94.07.00 (A)(1) and 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the
Palm Springs Zoning Code.
The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the M-8 Medium-Density Residential and H-43/30 High-Density Residential
General Plan designations which govern the subject property. General Plan
Objective 3.6a is to provide for the development of between six and eight
dwelling units per acre for the M-8 designation. The proposed density within the
M-8 designation is approximately 7.1 dwelling units per acre. General Plan
Objective 3.8 is to provide for the development of up to 30 dwelling units per acre
for the M-43/30 designation. The proposed density within the M-43/30
designation is approximately 12.2 dwelling units per acre. Per Objective 3.6b,
appropriate residential development includes a residential development ranging
from single-family homes to garden apartments and multiple-family structures.
Resolution No.
Page 3
General Plan Policies 3.6.1.a-d further sets forth design standards of providing at
least one covered parking space per unit, of designing common space that is
usable by residents, and of providing entry identities for units. The proposed
project is also consistent with General Plan Policies 3.8.1.a-e in that minimum
open space requirements are met, common areas face ground floors, the open
space areas are easily accessible, the design provides visual character, and the
location of second floors are removed from adjacent single-story residences.
The proposed project is consistent with the Section 14 Specific Plan in that it
proposes a residential use in a location determined to be preferred for such a
use.
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 suitable for the development of condominium homes. It is
relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage.
Adequate access is proposed with a main access on Avenida Caballeros, and a
secondary emergency access on Alejo 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 proposed planned development district is
necessary to provide a design concept that blends features from the existing
deteriorated project with features from older and newer adjacent projects. The
proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents
because streets are internal to the project, and because it continues a residential
pattern of development in an area adjacent to other residential uses.
Section 3: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council
makes the following findings:
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and
specific plans.
The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the M-8 Medium-Density Residential and H-43/30 High-Density Residential
General Plan designations which govern the subject property. General Plan
Objective 3.6a is to provide for the development of between six and eight
dwelling units per acre for the M-8 designation.
The proposed density within the M-8 designation is approximately 7.1 dwelling
units per acre. General Plan Objective 3.8 is to provide for the development of up
to 30 dwelling units per acre for the M-43/30 designation. The proposed density
within the M-43/30 designation is approximately 12.2 dwelling units per acre. Per
Resolution No.
' Page 4
Objective 3.6b, appropriate residential development includes a residential
development ranging from single-family homes to garden apartments and
multiple-family structures.
General Plan Policies 3.6.1.a-d further sets forth design standards of providing at
least one covered parking space per unit, of designing common space that is
usable by residents, and of providing entry identities for units. The proposed
project is also consistent with General Plan Policies 3.8.1.a-e in that minimum
open space requirements are met, common areas face ground floors, the open
space areas are easily accessible, the design provides visual character, and the
location of second floors are removed from adjacent single-story residences.
The proposed project is consistent with the Section 14 Specific Plan in that it
proposes a residential use in a location determined to be preferred for such a
use.
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 are generally consistent with the
Section 14 Specific Plan HR and MBR zones and the underlying R-G-A (8) zone
in which the property is located. Development standards proposed as part of the
planned development district provide flexibility in design details related to building
arrangement, building height, and application of density.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is flat, and is located in an area with all urban services and
utilities, including streets.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The proposed 8.5-acre development area of project site can accommodate 84
condominium units without significant grading, the site abuts improved public
streets with existing utilities, and the site is in an area allowing access to major
thoroughfares.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that with implementation of
proposed mitigation measures, any environmental impacts regarding project
construction effects on air quality, and noise will be reduced to a level that is less
than significant.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
I
Resolution No.
Page 5
The design of the proposed subdivision includes the provision of public water and
sewer systems, and an access system that provides an orderly system of internal
driveways and motor courts.
q. 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 or access 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: The City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case
Number 5.1082 — PD-321, and Tentative Tract Map 34165, and directs staff to file the
associated Notice of Determination.
Section 5: The City Council approves Case Number 5.1082, Planned Development
District 321 and Tentative Tract Map 34165, subject to the Conditions of Approval
attached hereto as Exhibit A, and as shown on the Tentative Tract Map 34165 and

Environmental Assessment
Jr. The mitigation measures of the environmental assessment shall apply. The
applicant shall submit a signed agreement that the mitigation measures outlined
as part of the mitigated negative declaration will be included in the Planning
Commission consideration of the environmental assessment. Mitigation
measures are as follows:
MM III-1 To the extent feasible, the project contractor shall use the following
equipment and methods to reduce construction emissions:
A. Measures to mitigate for off-road mobile source emissions (Table 11-
3 of SCABMD CEQA Handbook):
1. Methane-fueled pile drivers.
2. Use electricity from power poles rather than temporary diesel
or gasoline power generators.
3. Use methanol or natural gas on-site mobile equipment
instead of diesel.
4. Use propane or butane-powered on-site mobile equipment
instead of gasoline.
B. To mitigate for PMIO Emissions:
1. Grading
a. Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers according to
manufacturers' specification to all inactive construction
areas (previously graded areas inactive for ten days or
more).
b. Replace ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as
possible.
C. Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply non-toxic

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of a Planned Development District (PDD) to establish design
standards and guidelines for a proposed 84-unit residential condominium complex. In
conjunction with the PD, a Tentative Tract Map has been filed to allow subdivision of the
site for condominium purposes, and Architectural Approval is also requested. The site
would be accessed from Avenida Caballeros.
V-1,�)"
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case,5.1082—PD-321 &17M 34165 Page 2 of 14
The proposed project would be located on approximately 8.5-acre site that currently
contains an unused resort complex and single-family residence. Existing structures
would be demolished. Proposed structures consist of detached and attached, two-story
structures lining internal streets and motor-courts. Swimming pools and/or spas are
proposed for most units, and a community recreation building and swimming pool is
proposed.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Recommend that the City Council approve the proposed application by Nexus
Development to develop an 84-unit residential condominium project on
approximately 8.5 acres according to Planned Development District standards
by:
• Considering and adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case 5.1082
PD-321 and TTM 34165;
• Adopting Planned Development District 321; and
• Conditionally approving Tentative Tract Map 34165 to re-subdivide
approximately 8.5 acres into a residential condominium development with
common areas for access, parking, landscape areas, and a community
recreation facility;
2. Approve the architectural design and landscaping for Case No. 5.1082.
PRIOR ACTIONS
At its meeting of January 9, 2006, the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed
the project and recommended approval of the proposed development to the Planning
Commission with recommendations to the site plan design. The applicant provided two
sets of site plans, one with sidewalks within the internal circulation and one without. The
AAC recommended approval for the site plan without sidewalks within the internal
private streets. Further discussion of this issue is contained below.
BACKGROUND AND SETTING
Between 1988 and 1990 the project site was developed with the La Mancha Villas and
Spa Resort. The resort was developed with 50 condominium style villas with amenities,
including tennis courts, swimming pools, and restaurant. A maintenance facility is also
located on-site (occupying the former house that was built in the 1950s), and a bomb
shelter is located adjacent to this building. Existing development on-site is currently
vacant, in a state of disrepair, and will be removed.
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 3 of 14
The project site is at the southeast corner of Alejo Road and Avenida Caballeros. To
the northwest, north, and northeast, across Alejo Road, is a single-family residential
neighborhood in which residences front onto both Avenida Caballeros and Alejo Road.
To the east, on the south side of Alejo Road, is a single-story, multiple-family residential
project with carports located on the east side of Greenhouse Way. The project site is
on the west side of Greenhouse Way, but does not have access. To the south, on the
east side of Avenida Caballeros, is a new, motorcourt-type development with fifteen,
siingle-story residences. To the southwest, across Avenida Caballeros, is an existing
single-story multiple-family residential project. To the west, across Avenida Caballeros,
is 24-unit residential project, for which construction is beginning. Further to the north, at
the southwest corner of Avenida Caballeros and Alejo Road, is an existing two-story
multiple-family residential project.
The project site is bisected by General Plan designation and Section 14 Specific Plan
zone boundaries along an east-west axis that is located approximately 300 feet south of
Alejo Road. The Plan and zone designation is for denser development on the south
portion, and buffering in the form of less dense development on the north portion.

ANALYSIS
Two "zones" break the site, a medium density buffer on the northern portion and a high-
density multi-family area on the southern portion. The General Plan designation of the
south portion of the site is H43/30, (High Density Residential with a maximum density of
30 units per acre), and the zoning designation is HR, (High Density Residential Zone).
The General Plan designation of the northern portion of the site is M-8, (Medium
Density Residential, which allows up to 8 dwelling unit per acre). The zoning
designation is MBR, (Medium Density Residential Buffer).
The Section 14 Specific Plan designates the site R-G-A (8), which allows Garden
apartments and cluster residential development. The project is proposed at a density of
approximately 7.1 units per acre within the MBR zone, and approximately 12.2 units per
acre within the HR zone. The proposed project does meet the General Plan densities:
as proposed, at about seven and twelve dwelling units per acre, the project is less than
the maximums provided by the respective General Plan designations.
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 4 of 14
Pursuant to Section 94,03.00 (A) of the Zoning Code, a planned development district
(PD) may be approved in lieu of a change of zone as specified in Section 94.07.00. The
PD is needed for this project so that relief from the development concept and standards
from the underlying R-G-A zoning district can be achieved.
Section 6.3 of the Section 14 Specific Plan provides that Property Development
Standards from the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance will prevail unless otherwise
excepted. The only exceptions are for the percentage of open space in the MBR zone,
and the 30-foot height limit in the HR zone. The current proposal is for a project that
calculates open space project-wide rather than only for the area not devoted to parking,
and for attached residences that vary in height between 23 and 25.7 feet in the MBR
zone. The maximum height within the proposed project is 26.2 feet.
Additionally, flexibility is also needed to allow relief from other development standards.
Perimeter setbacks are proposed to be decreased from 25 feet along streets to
approximately 20 feet. Buildings within 200 feet of a single-family residential zone are
limited in height to fifteen feet in the R-G-A zone. Although the R-1-C neighborhood
lying north of Alejo Road is within that distance, the project proposes two-story building
heights.
It should be noted that Alejo Road offers a buffer, and that the single-family residences
on Alejo Road tend to be fenced and landscaped with tall plantings. Ordinary building
Separations in the R-G-A zone vary based on building height, and would be at least 37.5
feet (for a 25-foot tall building), while the project proposes separations of as little as ten
feet.
A comparison of the existing zoning and the proposed Planned Development District is
shown on the following table.

Site Plan
The proposed project involves the demolition and removal of all existing structures on-
site and the subsequent construction of 28 medium density residential dwelling units
with livable space ranging from 2,006 to 2,115 square feet, and 56 high density multi-
family residential dwelling units ranging from 1,362 to 1,514 square feet. Recreational
facilities associated with the proposed project include a common swimming pool and
clubhouse located along Avenida Caballeros, south of the project entry, as well as
private pools for each dwelling unit.
A block wall is proposed along the project perimeter. The site plan shows internal
circulation one unit deep along the perimeter of the site with an additional east-west
roadway bisecting the site. The original design of the private streets proposed enhanced
pavements which do not include any sidewalks; however staff has concerns regarding
safety issues. At its meeting of January 9, 2006, the Architectural Advisory Committee
(AAC) reviewed the project and recommended approval for the project as originally
designed without the sidewalks. Based on the gated internal circulation system, staff
can support the applicant's request.
Access
The primary access to the site is provided from a gated entry on Avenida Caballeros,
with an emergency access located along Alejo Road. The main access entry is located
at approximately the location of the east-west General Plan and Zone boundary. This is
also the location of the project's east-west bisecting roadway. An existing landscaped
median in Avenida Caballeros extends from the north side of the project entry to Alejo
Road.
This median is a Section 14 entry feature that was required as part of TTM 31256 (now
Alejo Vista). The median will have to be reconfigured to accommodate a left-turn pocket
into the project site from southbound Avenida Caballeros. To accommodate the revised
median, an alternative Section-14 entry feature would be created with public art on both
the southwest and southeast corners of the intersection of Avenida Caballeros and
Alejo Road. These corners are private property, although the southeast corner is on the
project site. Preliminary discussions have been held with the Alejo Vista Home Owners
Association (HOA), which has expressed willingness to pursue such an entry feature.
Parking
As shown on the Site Plan Tabulations, the project has been design to meet
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance regarding overall parking. Each dwelling unit
includes an attached two-car garage. There are 33 guest spaces and six handicapped
spaces for a total of 196 spaces.

Architecture
As designed, the condominiums will be constructed as a mix of attached homes with
side-by-side duplexes, quadri-plexes, triplexes and ten unit buildings with individual,
exclusive-use front driveways, front entries, and rear yards with swimming pools. Four
types of units are proposed, and will range between approximately 1,812 and 2,613
square feet in size.
The aesthetic elements of the proposed architecture include changing roof forms and
roof pitches designed to achieve variety. However, the higher roofs over the second
floors differ from the medium-density to the high-density of the site. These differences in
roof shape bring variety to units in the development. The roofs describe, thorough
architectural form, the different approaches used by both zones to occupy the site.
The medium-density roofs above the second floor utilize separate roofs, while the high-
density roofs are stretched over several units, even when courtyards or lower roof
structures separate those units. The separate roof of the medium-density attempts to
make each unit feel like an individual home, while the high-density roofs make a large
urban complex. The aesthetic differences between the two portions of the site can be
seen as well. The medium-density buildings make contemporary statement of what it
means to create shade and forms in the desert today, while the high-density roofs are
large sloping forms using a post and beam system akin to the 1960's developments
seen throughout the City.
All of the units, open to desert views through ample amount of glazing, and also show
large trellis sunshades, neutral colors and varied material palette.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Findings can be made in support of establishing the proposed Planned Development
District as follows:
a. The proposed planned development is consistent and in conformity with the
general plan pursuant to Sections 94.07.00 (A)(1) and 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the
Palm Springs Zoning Code.
The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the M-8 Medium-Density Residential and H-43/30 High-Density Residential
General Plan designations which govern the subject property. General Plan
Objective 3.6a is to provide for the development of between six and eight
dwelling units per acre for the M-8 designation. The proposed density within the
M-8 designation is approximately 7.1 dwelling units per acre. General Plan
Objective 3.8 is to provide for the development of up to 30 dwelling units per acre
for the M-43/30 designation. The proposed density within the M-43/30
designation is approximately 12.2 dwelling units per acre. Per Objective 3.6b,
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 7 of 14
appropriate residential development includes a residential development ranging
from single-family homes to garden apartments and multiple-family structures.
General Plan Policies 3.6.1.a-d further sets forth design standards of providing at
least one covered parking space per unit, of designing common space that is
usable by residents, and of providing entry identities for units. The proposed
project is also consistent with General Plan Policies 3.8.1.a-e in that minimum
open space requirements are met, common areas face ground floors, the open
space areas are easily accessible, the design provides visual character, and the
location of second floors are removed from adjacent single-story residences.
The proposed project is consistent with the Section 14 Specific Plan in that it
proposes a residential use in a location determined to be preferred for such a
use.
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 suitable for the development of condominium homes. It is
relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage.
Adequate access is proposed with a main access on Avenida Caballeros, and a
secondary emergency access on Alejo 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 proposed planned development district is
necessary to provide a design concept that blends features from the existing
deteriorated project with features from older and newer adjacent projects. The
proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents
because streets are internal to the project, and because it continues a residential
pattern of development in an area adjacent to other residential uses.
Additional 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 Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and
specific plans.
The proposed planned development is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the M-8 Medium-Density Residential and H-43/30 High-Density Residential
General Plan designations which govern the subject property. General Plan
Objective 3.6a is to provide for the development of between six and eight
dwelling units per acre for the M-8 designation.
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 8 of 14
The proposed density within the M-8 designation is approximately 7.1 dwelling
units per acre. General Plan Objective 3.8 is to provide for the development of up
to 30 dwelling units per acre for the M-43/30 designation. The proposed density
within the M-43/30 designation is approximately 12.2 dwelling units per acre. Per
Objective 3.6b, appropriate residential development includes a residential
development ranging from single-family homes to garden apartments and
multiple-family structures.
General Plan Policies 3.6.1.a-d further sets forth design standards of providing at
least one covered parking space per unit, of designing common space that is
usable by residents, and of providing entry identities for units. The proposed
project is also consistent with General Plan Policies 3.8.1.a-e in that minimum
open space requirements are met, common areas face ground floors, the open
space areas are easily accessible, the design provides visual character, and the
location of second floors are removed from adjacent single-story residences.
The proposed project is consistent with the Section 14 Specific Plan in that it
proposes a residential use in a location determined to be preferred for such a
use.
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 are generally consistent with the
Section 14 Specific Plan HR and MBR zones and the underlying R-G-A (8) zone
in which the property is located. Development standards proposed as part of the
planned development district provide flexibility in design details related to building
arrangement, building height, and application of density.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is flat, and is located in an area with all urban services and
utilities, including streets.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The proposed 8.5-acre development area of project site can accommodate 84
condominium units without significant grading, the site abuts improved public
streets with existing utilities, and the site is in an area allowing access to major
thoroughfares.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that with implementation of
proposed mitigation measures, any environmental impacts regarding project
Planning Commission Staff Report 3108106
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 9 of 14
construction effects on air quality, and noise will be reduced to a,level that is less
than significant.
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 the provision of public water and
sewer systems, and an access system that provides an orderly system of internal
driveways and motor courts.
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 or access 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 ASSESSMENT
Pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, an Initial Study is being prepared and a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated
Negative Declaration will be sent to applicable agencies and published in the Desert
Sun for a 20-day review period. The working draft Initial Study found the environmental
impacts of the proposed project to be less than significant with the following mitigations:
MIM III-1 To the extent feasible, the project contractor shall use the following
equipment and methods to reduce construction emissions:
A. Measures to mitigate for off-road mobile source emissions (Table 11-3 of
SCABMD CEQA Handbook):
1. Methane-fueled pile drivers.
2. Use electricity from power poles rather than temporary diesel or gasoline
power generators.
3. Use methanol or natural gas on-site mobile equipment instead of diesel.
4. Use propane or butane-powered on-site mobile equipment instead of
gasoline.
B. To mitigate for PM10 Emissions:
1. Grading
a. Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers according to manufacturers' specification to
all inactive construction areas (previously graded areas inactive for ten
days or more).
b. Replace ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 10 of 14
c. Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply non-toxic soils binders
according to manufacturers' specifications, to exposed piles (i.e., gravel,
sand, dirt) with 5% or greater silt content.
d. Water active sites at least twice daily.
e. Suspend all excavating and grading operations when wind speeds (as
instantaneous gusts) exceed 25 mph.
f. Monitor for particulate emissions according to District-specified
procedures. Contact the District for more information at (714) 396-3600.
2. Paved Roads
a. Sweep streets at the end of the day if visible soil material is carried onto
adjacent public paved roads (recommend water sweepers with reclaimed
water).
b. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto
paved roads, or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site each trip.
3. Unpaved Roads
a. Apply water three times daily, or non-toxic soil stabilizers according to
manufacturers' specifications, to all unpaved parking or staging areas or
unpaved road surfaces.
b. Traffic speeds on all unpaved roads to be reduced to 15 mph or less.
c. Pave construction roads that have a traffic volume of more than 50 daily
trips by construction equipment, 150 total daily trips for all vehicles.
d. Pave all construction access roads at least 100 feet on to the site from the
main road.
e. Pave construction roads that have a daily traffic volume of less than 50
vehicle trips.
MM III-2 The following measures from the District's Rule 403, Table 1 Best
Available Control Measures shall also be implemented. Rule 403 prohibits the release
of fugitive dust emissions from any active operation, open storage pile, or disturbed
surface area beyond the property line of the emission source.
A. Stabilize backfill material during handling and at completion of activity.
B. Pre-water soils prior to cut and fill activities.
C. Stabilize wind erodible surfaces to reduce dust.
D. Stabilize surface soils where support equipment and vehicles will operate.
E. Stabilize disturbed soils throughout the construction site.
F. Pre-apply water and re-apply water as necessary to maintain soils during earth-
moving activities. Visible emissions shall not exceed 100 feet in any direction.
G. Maintain at least six feet of freeboard on haul vehicles.
Planning Commission Staff Report 3/08/06
Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 11 of 14
H. Stabilize stockpiled soils.
I. Limit vehicular travel to establish unpaved roads (haul routes) and unpaved
parking lots.
The above measures shall be implemented during all grading and construction
phases of the project and enforced/monitored by the City of Palm Springs and the
SCAQMD. Implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce construction-
related emissions in accordance with the reduction efficiencies shown in Tables 11-3
and 11-4 of the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook. These measures are considered
adequate by the District to reduce emissions to less than significant.
MM V-1 As there are always a possibility of buried cultural and paleontological
resources in a project area, a Native American Monitor(s) shall be present during all
round disturbing activities including clearing and grubbing, excavation, burial of utilities,
planting of rooted plants, etc. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian Cultural Office
shall be contacted for additional information on the use and availability of Cultural
Resource Monitors. Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor shall
contact the Director of Planning Services. Following consultation, the Director shall
have the authority to halt destructive construction and shall notify a qualified
archaeologist to investigate the find. If necessary, the qualified archaeologist shall
prepare a treatment plan for submission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and
Agua Caliente Cultural Resource Coordinator for approval. If human remains are
discovered they shall be handled consistent with the state law provisions.
To comply with the City 65 dBA CNEL exterior and 45 dBA CNEL interior noise level
standards, the following mitigation measures outlined in the noise study (Endo
Engineering, 2005) are required:
MIVI XI-1 During construction phases, the contractor shall ensure that all
construction is performed in accordance with the applicable City of Palm Springs noise
standards. This measure shall be added to the construction contract.
MM XI-2 Construction activities on-site should take place only during the hours
between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., as specified by the Palm Springs Noise Ordinance
(11.74.041), to reduce noise impacts during more sensitive time periods. The
Construction Site Regulations (Chapter 8.04.220) also identify specific limits on hours of
operation for construction equipment as not between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. if the noise
produced is of such intensity or quality that it disturbs the peace and quiet of any other
person of normal sensitivity.
MM XI-3 All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with
properly operating and maintained mufflers and the engines shall be equipped with
shrouds.

Case:5.1082—PD-321 &TTM 34165 Page 12 of 14
NIM XI-4 All construction equipment shall be in proper working order and
maintained in a proper state of tune to reduce backfires.
MM XI-5 Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas shall be located as far as practical
from noise sensitive receptors.
MM XI-6 Parking, refueling and servicing operations for all heavy equipment and
on-site construction vehicles shall be located as far as practical from existing homes.
MM XI-7 Every effort shall be made during construction activities to create the
greatest distance between noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors located in the
vicinity of the project site.
MM XI-8 Stationary equipment should be placed such that emitted noise is directed
away from noise-sensitive receptors.
MM XI-9 The residential uses proposed adjacent to Avenida Caballeros and Alejo
Road shall include a 6.0 foot perimeter wall, or shall be evaluated by a qualified noise
consultant at more detailed levels of planning to ensure that adequate noise attenuation
measures are incorporated in the project design to meet the City of Palm Springs noise
standards (65 CNEL in outside activity areas and 45 CNEL in interior living areas) and
the California Noise Insulation Standards. The applicant shall demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the City that the required shielding shall be incorporated in the project
design, prior to the issuance of building permits.
MIM XI-10 All internal combustion-powered equipment shall be equipped with
properly operating mufflers and kept properly tuned to alleviate backfires. This measure
shall be added to the construction contract.
To comply with City ordinance and policy requirements, the following mitigation
measures outlined in the project traffic study (Endo Engineering, 2005) are required.
MM XV-1 The project proponent shall dedicate appropriate right-of-way to
accommodate the ultimate improvement of the master planned roadways (Alejo Road
and Avenida Caballeros) adjacent to the project site. This shall include the right-of-way
dedication is the property line corner cutback dedication required at the northwest
corner of the site to accommodate a curb ramp.
MM XV-2 The master planned roadways (Alejo Road and Avenida Caballeros) shall
be improved adjacent to the site, to the design standards identified in the Section 14
Specific Plan, as required by the City of Palm Springs.

acid/or site access impacts associated with the proposed project:
MM XV-6 To insure compliance with City access and design standards, the final
building and parking layout and site access design shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City Traffic Engineer, as part of the development review process.
MM XV-7 Clear unobstructed sight distance shall be provided at the unsignalized
site driveway on Avenida Caballeros.
MM XV-8 The project proponent shall be required to contribute 100 percent of the
cost of the following circulation improvements in conjunction with the development of
the proposed project:
A. Avenida Caballeros —The Applicant shall modify or remove the raised median on
Avenida Caballeros, south of Alejo Road, as required by the City Engineer.
B. Avenida Caballeros - Since the site has 610 feet of frontage on Avenida
Caballeros, the TWLTL may be extended beyond the site access, to function as
a median refuge for motorists making westbound left turns out of the project site.
C. Avenida Caballeros - The southern terminal treatment for introduction of the
TWLTL shall be developed by simple northbound through-lane approach taper
widening from the basic 2- or 4-lane cross section on Avenida Caballeros. This
taper will cause all vehicles to transition laterally and shall be moderately long
(approximately 150 feet long assuming 35 mph) to shift the northbound through
lanes laterally 6 feet and provide a full shadowed 12-foot wide TWLTL.
