Section 2: The City Council makes the following findings:
a. The proposed planned development amendment 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 General
Plan, which includes special provisions for the Central Business
District. The project will bring revitalization to the Downtown area
with the development of new retail commercial space; also, the
boutique hotel could enhance the City's tourism base.
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, as proposed, is consistent with the Downtown Design
Guidelines and the vision of the area for the future. The site is
physically suitable for the proposed project, and provides sufficient
access points for all uses proposed.
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 Amended Planned Development District modifies height and setback requirements
in a manner which is conducive with the urban development sought for the site in the
future. The inclusion of a mixed-use project consisting of a boutique hotel and retail
commercial in this area of the City will increase vitality and activity in the Downtown.
Section 3: The City Council approves Case Number 5.1091-PD 324 AMND;
thereby amending Planned Development District No. 324, subject to the conditions
contained in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and made a part of this resolution.
