RV 07-005, ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 335 WEST YORBA ROAD. FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY The City Council will consider a request by Jackie Swisher to overturn the decision of the Planning Commission to deny a recreational vehicle (RV) permit on the property located at 335 West Yorba Road. Since the Commission's action, the request has been revised to include an additional proposal for the parking location of the 38 foot long RV. 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, DENYING AN APPEAL BY JACKIE SWISHER AND UPHOLDING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO DENY A REQUEST FOR A RECREATIONAL VEHILCE PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 335 W. YORBA ROAD." PRIOR ACTIONS: On November 7, 2007, the request for a Recreational Vehicle Permit was denied by the Director of Planning Services. Item No. City Council Staff Report April 16,2008--Page 2 of 3 RV 07.005 Appeal of PC declslon On November 14, 2007, the applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Director's decision to the Planning Commission. The letter is attached to this memo. No additional information or justification was provided. On January 9, 2008, the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission which voted to deny the request (by a vote of 5-1-0; Caffery in favor of the request). Minutes of the Commission meeting regarding this request are attached. On January 9, 2008, the applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council. The letter is attached to this memo_ The applicant has proposed an alternate site plan which proposes locating the RV further back from the street. The applicant also requested the City Council appeal date be moved back to April 16, 2008. STAFF ANALYSIS: As noted in the attached Planning Commission staff report and related exhibits, the request for a RV permit was denied because there seemed to be no reasonable alternative for screening of the RV such that it would not be visible from street and adjacent properties. Staff believes that both the original site plan and the alternate site plan (which proposes relocating the RV even further back) will still not sufficiently screen the vehicle from adjoining properties and street due to the size (38 feet) of the RV. Staff also notes that the client has proceeded with modifications of the site, at her own risk, with the intent of parking of the RV on the site. These modifications (building permits) were subsequent to the letter of denial sent by the Director of Planning on November 7, 2007. The building permits that have been pulled in relation to the proposed RV parking area (wrought-iron fence, b-b-q area, sink drain, and gas line) are attached. Staff advised the client to represent all proposals (for relocation, installation, and construction of walls and/or fences, and landscaping) in plan form only. There has since been relocation of walls and/or fences, and the addition of a considerable amount of landscaping has been installed with the intent of providing additional screening of the recreational vehicle. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Ewing, A Thomas Wilsc !Assistant City Manager Dire dr of Planni 0Services 000002 Clty Council Staff Report April 16,2008—Pape 3 of 3 RV 07-006 Appeal of PC decision David H.

Could someone from your office drop me a note pertaining to the city codes in regards to large R.V_'s Boats and the such.I seem to remember something about these types of vehicles need to be well concealed from the street. sicerely, Rodell Henshaw 760-778-7123 REMD NOV 02 2001 MM�000s T ana � &ef � -A �znK - lvel � '� � ��2,-,�7L Mr.RnMen M.R�. aww `y.Y Palm'yM�G .34R-Fein ' OCT 2)�� OODOr� • I r k O�ppLMgA� Al ' City of Palm Springs ti c V N * Department of Planning Services �rO""°ya.cv''�• # 3200 8-Ta6quLrz Canyon Way • Palm Springs,California 92262 C �P Tel:(760)323-8245 • Pax:(760)322-8360 • Web:www.palmsprings•-ca.gov q(lFbR November 7, 2007 Jackie Swisher 3%'W. Yorba Rd Palm Springs, CA 92264 RE: Recreational Vehicle Permit No. 07-05 Dear Mrs_ Swisher, In response to your request for a permit to park a Recreational Vehicle at the above address (received October 9, 2007) staff has conducted a number of site visits to your neighborhood, including viewing the vehicle from adjacent properties and the street. We also considered your site plan and certain discussions you held with Palm Springs Planning Technician Scott Taschner regarding options for relocating the vehicle on the site. On the basis of the information learned from our investigations and the requirements of the Municipal Code for parking recreational vehicles on residential property, this letter is notice to you that your permit request is DENIED. The reason for this action is that it does not appear possible to park the recreational vehicle anywhere on the site such that it would not be significantly visible from either the street or from adjacent properties. Given the size of the vehicle (38 feet in length) and the proximity to adjacent properties, there appear to be no reasonable options for screening the vehicle as shown. Section 11.06.050.c of the Palm Springs Municipal Code states- (q) Any permit granted hereunder must be subject to the following conditions: (1) Only one permit may be issued per residential parcel. (2) The permit must identify the recreational vehicle by license number Said vehicle may not exceed twenty-four feet in length unless the length in excess of twenty-four feet can be parked within the allowable sideyard setback as otherwise provided in this chapter. (3) The permit must identify where on the parcel the recreational vehicle may be parked. (4) The recreational vehicle must be screened from view from surrounding properties to the degree possible as determined by the planning director. (5) The recreational vehicle must be maintained in a clean and usable appearance- (6) The permit shall expire upon the applicant's termination of their residency upon the parcel. 000011 Recreational Vehicle Permit No. 07-05 11MUT 355 W.Yorba Rd./Swisher Residence Page 2 of 2 (7) The parcel must be maintained in accordance with Section 9319.00 of the Zoning Ordinance. Based on the proposed location of the RV, it does not appear possible to screen the unit from the view of surrounding properties. You must remove the recreational vehicle within fifteen (15) days of the date of this letter or be subject to further enforcement action, including possible citation Please be advised that you may appeal this action to the Planning Commission, but must do so within ten (10) days of the date of this letter. Your appeal must be filed in writing with the Department of Planning Services in City Hall, including the required appeal fee ($296).

Yorba Road. APN: 504-111-007 General Plan: Very Low Density Residential Zone: R-1-C (Single Family Residential) From: Craig A. Ewing, AICP, Director of Planning Services Project Planner: Scott Taschner, Planning Technician PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting an appeal of the Planning Director's decision, denying the application for a recreational vehicle (RV) permit, to the Planning Commission, for a 38 foot long RV, for the property located at 335 West Yorba Road_ RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission uphold~the decision of the Planning Director, Case No. RV 07-05, denying the application for a recreational vehicle permit for the property located at 335 West Yorba Road �aaa�z Appeal of RV 07-05 January 9, 2008 335 W. Yorba Road Page 2 of 5 PRIOR ACTIONS: On November 7, 2007 the request for a Recreational Vehicle Permit was denied by the Director of Planning Services. BACKGROUND: The subject property is bounded by residential uses to the North, East, and South, and West. Surrounding Land uses, Zoning, and General Plan designations are detailed below: Land Use Zone General Plan North Residential R-G-A (6) LDR South Residential R-1-C VLDR East Residential R-1-C VLDR West Residential R-1-C VLDR ANALYSIS: A Recreational Vehicle Permit is required when Section 11.96.020 (a)(3) of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC), can not be met. This section states: (a) It shall be unlawful to park or store any recreational vehicle, commercial vehicle, semitrailer, trailer, or boat of any kind in any residential zone of the city except as follows: (3) Unless otherwise permitted by Section 11.96.050, the vehicle or boat is parked or stored outside of any required front or sidd front yard and is screened from view from any adjoining property or street. If the recreational vehicle is visible from either street or adjacent properties, then an application is required. In evaluating the request for a Recreational Vehicle Permit at 336 West Yorba Road, staff conducted a number of site visits to the neighborhood, including viewing the vehicle from adjacent properties and the street. Staff also considered the submitted site plan, written complaints from neighbors, meetings with staff regarding options for relocating the vehicle on the site, and Section 11.96.060 of the Palm Springs Municipal Codry, which states: (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.96.020, a resident of a residential parcel may park a recreational vehicle in the front or side front yard of said parcel provided that the resident has obtained a residential vehicle parking permit Appeal of RV 07-0 5 January 9, 2008 335 W. Yorba Road Pagc 3 of 5 pursuant to this section. (b) The planning director may issue a recreational vehicle parking permit if the director finds that compliance with Section 11.96.020(a)(3) is not possible or practical, because there is no other more suitable location on the property for the parking of the recreation vehicle. This finding may be made if such other location would require significant physical remodeling of structures, the removal of significant native vegetation, or otherwise be a hardship to the applicant. The director may issue a permit if he finds that locating the vehicle in a more suitable location would require significant physical remodeling of structures and a hardship exists in relocating structures. This approval would be subject to conditions stated in the Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 11.97.050(c) as stated below: (c) Any permit granted hereunder must be subject to the following conditions: (1) Only one permit may be issued per residential parcel. (2)The permit must identify the recreational vehicle by license number_ Said vehicle may not exceed twenty-four feet in length unless the length in excess of twenty-four feet can be parked within the allowable sideyard setback as otherwise provided in this chapter. (3)The permit must identify where on the parcel the recreational vehicle may be parked- (4)The recreational vehicle must be screened from view from surrounding properties to the degree possible as determined by the planning director. (5)The recreational vehicle musL be maintained in a clean and usable appearance- (6)The permit shall expire upon the applicant's termination of their residency upon the parcel. (7)The parcel must be maintained in accordance with Section 9319.00 of the Zoning Ordinance. (d)The applicant with the permit shall pay a fee as established by resolution of the city council which may be amended from time to time. Except as provided herein, the permit shall be processed in accordance with the procedures in Section Appeal of RV 07-05 January 0, 2008 335 W. Yorba Road Page G of 5 9402.01 concerning land use permits. In the event that the director believes that conditions of the recreational vehicle parking permit have been violated, the director may revoke the permit by proceeding in the same manner as for revocation of a land use permit under Section 9402.01.D.5. (Ord. 1377 § 2, Provision #4, states that the recreational vehicle must be screened from view from surrounding properties to the degree possible as determined by the planning director. Due to the size of the Recreational Vehicle (38 feet), it did not appear possible to park the recreational vehicle anywhere on the site such that it would not be significantly visible from either the street or from adjacent properties. Given the size of the vehicle (38 feet in length) and the proximity to adjacent properties, there appeared to be no reasonable options for screening of the vehicle as shown. REQUIRED FINDINGS: Pursuant to Section 11.97.020 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, parking of a recreational vehicle in a single-family residential zone requires that two findings be made. Staff has reviewed these requirements and determined that the one of the required findings cannot be made to allow the request by the applicant- The required findings are as follows: Findings: 1) The vehicle or boat is parked or stored outside any required front or side front yard. The proposed parking location of the recreational vehicle is outside of any front or side front yard setback- 2) The vehicle is screened from view from any adjoining property or street- It is not possible to park the recreational vehicle anywhere on the site such that it would not be significantly visible from either the street or from adjacent properties. Given the size of the vehicle (38 feet in length) and the proximity to adjacent properties, there appears to be no reasonable options for screening the vehicle as shown. CONCLUSION: Considering all the information contained herein, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission uphold the decision of the Planning Director to deny the application for a Recreational Vehicle Permit, Case No, RV 07-05, located at 335 West Yorba Road (APN: 504-111-007). Appeal of RV 07-05 January 9, 2008 335 W. Yorba Road Page 5 of 5 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21065, the proposal is not considered a "Project" and is therefore not subject to CEQA requirements.

I have a couple of proposals that might work. Proposal # A #I I have already moved the fence back to allow the extra 21 feet From the pavement per the cities request. #2 I have already put in the extra trees allowing this to cover to the End of the driveway to help hide the RV #3 1 am in the process of paving the driveway. #41 would put up a beautiful front fence and gate to be able to hide most of the front of the RV but still allowing me to be able to drive out. Proposal #E #1 I would move the fence back behind the big tree to allow another 5 feet from the street. With a total of 26 feet from the pavement. #2 If I moved the big tree out this would allow another 3 feet. however this allows the tree to cover the top of the RV. So I would prefer not to remove the tree. But this would be your choice. 0 4 ISM MAR 05 20V �G�iWIC�g Page#2 Proposal ##3 #i Let me park the RV at my home until I sell the RV #2 If you do not pass the RV to be parked there then what size can? #3 Let me keep the RV at my home until I sell my home. I am trying to do everything I can to make this work. I love my home and the reason for buying at this location was that I was told by my realtor that he had talked to the city and got permission for the RV to be parked there. I have enclosed a few names of neighbors that do not mind that I park the RV in this location because I am complying with the City. I still have more to come that I talked with but we have not been able to meet up to date. I asked for more time so that the concrete can be finished. This will allow me to pull the RV in to take pictures so you can get the ,Full visual. Therefore I still want to present my case to the City unless you agree to my proposal.
