RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve Planned Development District 296 for the construction of seven

SUMMARY
The Planning Commission met on June 23, 2004 to hear case 5.0999 and TTM 31230, where
they voted unanimously to continue the item to it's July 14, 2004, meeting. The public
comments were as follows:
• Chino Canyon Group representative spoke in favor of the project
• Neighboring property to the west had concerns over the height and mass of the 2-story
building near his single-story house.
The Planning Commission had the following concerns/comments:
• Accurate elevations to represent colors and height of 24'.
• Provide a cross-section to represent the line-of-sight to the neighboring property.
• Go back to DRC for review.
The proposed project went to DRC on July 12, 2004 and recommended approval subject to the
following:
• Lighten the dark colors and darken the light color to create more continuity with the color
scheme.
• The steel architectural awning feature should be powder coated to reduce fading, but if you
are going to paint the steel, then add that responsibility to the FICA.
• Wrap the steel awning all the way to provide shade for all of the windows and sliders.
• Increase landscape material: use palm trees and create a hedge along west property line to
screen the neighbor and break the massing for the neighbor.
The Planning Commission met on July 14, 2004 and voted 6-0 (1 absent) to recommend
approval to the City Council of PD296 subject to the Conditions Of Approval. The public
comments were as follows:
• Neighbor to the west still concerned over the height and mass of the 2-story next to his 1-
story house.
The Planning Commission decided after seeing the cross-section that the neighbor-to-neighbor
relationship was compatible.
BACKGROUND
The proposed project is a Planned Development District to construct a cluster residential
development consisting of seven (7) single-family attached residences within two clusters; one
of three units and another of four units on approximately 0.79 acres. A Tentative Tract Map is
also proposed. The project will include a common pool recreation area with each unit having a
private spa.
The proposed project site is vacant and is zoned R-2 (Limited multiple-family residential). A
total of 12 dwelling units would be allowed under the R-2 zone designation. The applicant's
proposal of 7 dwelling units is below maximum allowable density. Bay parking is provided for all
units with an additional single car garage space provided per unit.
The proposed project consists of seven, two-story, two-bedroom units. The units are grouped
in two clusters; one of three units and the other of four units. The four-unit configuration is
adjacent to Via Olivera Road and the three-unit configuration is adjacent to Zanjero Road. The
flat roofline is multi-tiered with a maximum height of twenty-four feet (24') with chimney heights
of twenty-five feet ten inches (25'10"). Each unit includes a two hundred forty (240) square foot
single car garage with additional storage space of approximately twenty (20) square feet.
Interior dimensions of the units vary between three models. Three units are approximately
1,802 square feet, two units are approximately 1,465 square feet and two units are
approximately 1,557 square feet. The architectural style is Contemporary and each units faces
towards the interior. Each unit is two bedrooms and has a private courtyard with spa, dining
and barbeque areas. This allows for a between the individual unit and common open spaces.
All facades are multi-dimensional and rooflines are multi-tiered ranging in height from 23' to
25'10".
The west and north sections of the site provide a common space that will include a 2,070
square foot pool, sundeck, turf area and pathways throughout the site.
Colored sand washed concrete bay parking is proposed for both residents and guests adjacent
to Zanjero and Via Olivera Roads. The project perimeters are walled including pedestrian
gates.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a Planned Development District with the underlying split zone
designations of R-2 and R-3 (Limited multiple-family residential) zoning designation. The
Planning Commission analyzed the project in relation to the R-2 zone standards. The project
departs from the specific zoning requirements by proposing changes from the R-2 zone's
property development standards in height of structures, side yard setbacks, distance between
buildings and lot size.
R-2 Zone Standards Proposed

Rear: as side above - 25' 10"
Design Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed project on March 22, 2004
subject to the following:
• Balcony railings shall consist of four clear coated anodized aluminum rails.
• The reglet shall be 3/4" in width.
• Paving material shall be consistent throughout the project site.
• The bay parking driveways shall be sand washed concrete with a long single-score design
(not on 45 degree angles).
• Queen palm species shall be replaced with a combination of Washingtonia filifera and
Washingtonia robusta.
• The proposed walkway gates shall be modified to match the contemporary styling of the
residences.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the site plan for compliance with the City's parking
standards. The Planning Commission has included conditions of approval to include one (1)
van accessible disabled parking space and that all common areas are handicap accessible
(Condition of Approval Planning #33). A five-foot (5) wide planter shall be required between
the western property line and the driveway parking space and all landscape planters between
bay parking drives shall be nine feet (9') in width (Condition of Approval Planning #36). All bay
parking is proposed as colored sand washed concrete and be scored with long single scores
rather than the 45-degree angle scoring proposed.
The relationship of this project to the neighboring community is reflective of the City's current
demand for housing. The applicant has indicated that the units will be sold starting at
$365,000 to $410,000 each. Another pre-application proposal has come forward on the
neighboring site to the north incorporating a project site west of Indian Canyon Drive, south of
Racquet Club Drive and east of North Palm Canyon Drive. That potential development
contemplates removal of Zanjero Road from the General Plan's circulation element. Since that
pre-application proposal is not an officially submitted application, the review of this current
project proposal has incorporated street improvements for Zanjero Road and an approved fire
truck turn around at the northeast corner of the proposed project site.
The following tables illustrate present adjacent zoning and uses:
Zone Use
North R-2 Vacant Land
East R-2 Vacant Land
South R-2 Via Olivera/Vacant Land
West R-2 Single-family residence
Onsite retention is required of this development. A large onsite retention area is proposed in
the northwest corner of the property. Another small onsite retention area was also proposed for
the desert landscape design element in the southeast corner of the project. Staff has
recommended to the Planning Commission that onsite retention be incorporated internally into
the site plan rather than adjacent to public right-of-ways. (Condition of Approval Engineering
#22).
The City of Palm Springs' Fire Department has included Conditions of Approval to address staff
concerns for fire protection.
In support of the overall design proposal staff has reviewed the following facts:
(1) The total lot size is .79 acres including one hundred and eighty (180) feet of frontage on Via
Olivera Road and two hundred and thirteen (213) feet of frontage on Zanjero Road.
(2) The property has a zoning designation of R-2 that could allow five more dwelling units than
proposed.
(3) The project proposes consolidation of two irregularly spaced lots that require a creative site
plan in order to develop the property to its fullest potential.
(4) The project is providing in-fill residential development to a neighborhood that has not
experienced new development for some time.
Based upon these facts the Planning Commission has concluded that the proposed
development is in keeping with the mass and scale of the neighborhood not only in architectural
scale but also in a cultural scale consistent with the mixed use capacity of the neighborhood.
The General Plan for the City of Palm Springs discusses in the Housing Element City planning
goals that include providing a variety of housing types to meet the diversity of needs throughout
the City's residential neighborhoods through the planned development process.
A Tentative Tract Map for a one lot subdivision for condominium development is required by the
State of California Map Act. The map will consolidate all existing lots of record to be recorded
as one lot. Upon entitlement the developer will be required by Conditions of Approval to submit
for review to the City Attorney, covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&R's) that will govern
the future tenants in regards to maintenance of the overall property, including such things as
landscaping, roofing, painting, etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND NOTIFICATION
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt from CEQA review as an in-fill
development project per California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15332.
All property owners within a 400 foot radius of the project have been notified.

THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that this project is categorically exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill
Development).
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 Government Code Section 66474 (Subdivision Map Act), the City
Council finds that with the incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
1. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan designation
for the site is M15, medium density residential. The General Plan would allow 12
dwelling units on the project site. The applicant is proposing 7 units and therefore, is
well within the density parameters of the General Plan.
2. The design of improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General
Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
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. All street, drainage, and utilities improvements are subject to the standards of the
General Plan and Conditions of Approval associated with TTM 31230.
Code relief to distance between buildings to be reduced from 15 feet to zero feet
minimum, side yard setbacks abutting any residential property from equal distance to
proposed height (25' 10") to 25 feet. The requirements of the general plan for medium-
density residential projects include the following policies:
• a minimum of 50% of the lot area shall be maintained as on-site open
space/recreational area;
• covered parking of at least one parking space per unit;
• inclusion of entries which convey a sense of individual identity for each unit at the
lowest habitable level facing a courtyard;
• incorporation of architectural design details and elements which provide visual
character and interest, avoiding flat planar walls and "box-like" appearances; and
The project as proposed incorporates all of the above general plan policy statements
into the site design. Therefore it is concluded that the relief to certain code standards
will not be in conflict with the overall intent of the General Plan.
' 4
• The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development contemplated by
the proposed subdivision.
The site is proposed for a 7-unit cluster residential project consisting of two buildings on
.79 acres of land. Per Zoning Code the maximum allowable density for the site for the
R2 Zone designation would be 12 units. The proposed 7 units will be under both
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan allowable density levels. The applicant proposes a
medium density residential development that will be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
a. The design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA review as an in-fill development. The
design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
b. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements must follow the conditions of
approval including, but not limited to, the application of the Uniform Building Code
Seismic Safety Standards, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive Dust Control
Ordinance in order to ensure public health and safety.
C. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within
the proposed subdivision.
The review process has not ascertained any easements, acquired by the public at
large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
Section 4: Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 9402,00, the City Council finds that:
a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a
Planned Development District is authorized by the City's zoning ordinance.
Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance for the underlying R-2 zones, a cluster residential
development is a permitted use.
b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in
harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not
detrimental to the existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
The proposed project consists of the subdivision and tentative tract map of .79 acres to
provide for the construction of a 7-unit cluster residential complex. The project will
include a central recreational area of pool and turfed passive recreation area. Each unit
incorporates it's own entry courtyard with spa, dining and barbeque areas. The project
is gated for pedestrian access. Vehicular access is limited to two bay parking drives,
one adjacent to Via Olivera Road and one adjacent to Zanjero Road.
C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use,
including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in
order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the
neighborhood.
The project site is .79 acres and is of adequate size to accommodate said use.
Pursuant to the development standards for the R-2, limited multi-family residential, the
proposed project presents a more creative approach in the development of land and
creates a harmonious in-fill development in a single and multiple family neighborhood.
Density standards for numbers of dwelling units proposed is below those permitted by
the zoning designation. This Planned Development District intends to maintain good
zoning practices while including certain desirable departures from the strict provisions
of the R-2 zoning classification.
Therefore, it is determined that the site for the intended use is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate said use.
d. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and
improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use.
The proposed project will contribute to improvement of the existing street system that
will serve the site, and with said improvements, the public street system will be
adequate to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use.
e. The conditions to be imposed are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety
and general welfare, of the existing neighborhood in which this project is situated.
The conditions imposed are necessary to bring the project into compliance with
applicable zoning, building, and other regulations to protect the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the existing neighborhood in which this project is located.
