THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed this project under the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and determined that the project had the
potential for significant impacts, but that the impacts would not be significant in this case
because project modifications and mitigation measures incorporated into the Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MIND), will reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
Resolution No, 22460
Page 2
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5, the City Council finds that
the proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are
compatible with the objectives, polices, and general land uses and program provided in
the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
SECTION 3. Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council
finds:
a. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable general and
specific plans.
The subject property is designated RBC (Regional Business Commercial). The
intention of the RBC designation is to accommodate a wide variety of business activities
in a multi-use environment. Commercial, office, and industrial uses that can be
supported by their proximity to the freeway are encouraged in this area. Uses in this
area are intended to provide large-scale development opportunities that serve an area
larger than the City proper. Commercial uses can include retail establishments, hotels,
automobile dealerships, and other uses that serve a regional population. Business
parks and industrial uses are also envisioned under this land use designation.
The plan proposes a public cul-de-sac street, which is consistent with a Collector street
by the General Plan Circulation Element:
Collector. Collector streets serve mostly local traffic; they are
usually comprised of two lanes and carry traffic from
secondary and major thoroughfares. On-street parking is
permitted on collectors, which can be divided or undivided
roadways. Typical right-of-way width for a collector is 60
feet, 66 feet in industrial areas. (See figure 4-2 below from
the General Plan Circulation Element)
Figure 4-2 Typical Street Cross Section
Collector Street
R/W Rjw
60' - 66'
40
The proposed street will be fifty feet wide with an eight foot sidewalk on each side. The
total right-of-way provided will be sixty-six feet wide from 2Wh Avenue to the 'bulb' or
end of cul-de-sac. The `bulb' provides additional right-of-way and exceeds minimum
City Engineering standards for turn-a-round.
Resolution No. 22460
Page 3
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are
consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed tentative parcel map is a request for the creation of eleven parcels from
the existing four parcels. The proposed parcels will range from approximately 0.65
acres to 1.32 acres in size. Pursuant to Section 92.17.1.03(A) and 92.17.1.03(B) of the
PSZC, the M-2 Zone requires that each lot have a minimum of 20,000 square feet with
a minimum width of 150 feet and depth of 100 feet. The proposed subdivision proposes
eleven parcels that all conform to these standards. Therefore, the proposed Tentative
Parcel Map is consistent with lot development standards in the M-2 Zone. All future
structures / buildings will be required to follow the M-2 Zone development standard
outlined in Section 92.17.1.03 of the PSZC.
c. The site is physically suited for this type of development
The project site has a slight slope from north to south. This is consistent with other
properties in the vicinity, and each site contains adequate developable building area.
There are no known bodies of water, ravines, or significant topographic features on the
subject property.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the site determined that the impacts of
the project will be less than significant to traffic, aesthetics, animals or plants. As stated
earlier, there are no known bodies of water on the subject property and therefore no fish
will be disturbed.
e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The design of the proposed subdivision meets all development criteria outlined by the
Palm Springs Zoning Code. Furthermore, all future development will be required to be
consistent with the Palm Springs Zoning Code.
f. 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.
Resolution No. 22460
Page 4
There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore, the design
of the subdivision will not conflict with any public easements for access through or use
of the property. The subdivision will provide a public street that allows access to each
proposed lot.
SECTION 4. The City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case
Number Tentative Parcel Map 34764 and directs staff to file the associated Notice of
Determination.
SECTION 5. The City Council approves Case Number Tentative Tract Map 34764,
subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit A.
ADOPTED THIS 1 ST DAY OF APRIL, 2009.

Preservation Officer or the Tribal Archaeologist at (760) 699-6800, for any
subsequent phases or elements of construction that might require Tribal
monitoring. If required, it is the responsibility of the applicant to coordinate
scheduling of Tribal monitors during construction, and to arrange payment
of any required fees associated with Tribal monitoring. Tribal monitoring
requirements may extend to off-site construction performed by utility
