TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 31256 TO CONSTRUCT 14 CONDOMINIUM UNITS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 977 ALEJO ROAD EAST, ZONE RGA (8), SECTION 14.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map
31256 for the construction of 14 condominium units and associated on and off-site
improvements for the property located at 977 Alejo Road East, Zone RGA (8), Section 14. The
applicant is Alejo/Caballeros, LLC. The principal of Alejo/Caballeros, LLC is Dennis Freeman.
SUMMARY
The Planning Commission at its June 11, 2003 meeting, voted 6-0-1 to recommend approval of
the project, subject to the conditions of approval. Two property owners who received the notice
of public hearing spoke at the meeting and expressed concern regarding the proximity of the
project to their property. Their concerns were allayed after viewing an aerial photograph that
showed there is approximately 300 feet between their property and the proposed project.
BACKGROUND
Alejo/Caballeros, LLC has submitted an application to construct 14 condominium units including
associated on and off-site improvements for the property located at 977 Alejo Road East, Zone
RGA (8), Section 14.
The project site is currently vacant and consists of one 112 ± acre lot. The subject property is
zoned RGA (8) (garden apartment and cluster residential zone) in the City of Palm Springs
Zoning Code, designated M8 (Medium Density Residential 8 dwelling units/acre) on the City of
Palm Springs General Plan. The site is designated MBR (Residential Medium - Buffer; medium
density residential acting as a buffer for existing adjacent lower intensity housing development)
in the Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Section 14 Master Development Plan.
The project will consist of seven two-unit buildings with fourteen two-story condominiums.
There are two proposed floor plans, 1,800 square feet and 2,200 square feet, each consisting
of two-bedrooms. Plan 1 consists of 1,186 square feet of first floor space, 652 square feet of
second floor space, 148 square feet of upper deck space, 136 square feet of lower covered
terrace space and a 537 square foot garage. Plan 2 consists of 1,425 square feet of first floor
space, 773 square feet of second floor space, 247 square feet of upper deck space, 272
square feet of lower covered terrace space and a 521 square foot garage. The maximum
height of the units is 24 feet.
Access to the subject property will be from a gated entry on Alejo Road. An emergency access
us provided from Avenida Caballeros. Additional right-of-way will be dedicated to create 50 feet
right-of-ways on Alejo Road East and Avenida Caballeros. Conditioned street improvements
consist of meandering sidewalk to match existing and landscaped right-of-way between the
property line and curb on Alejo Road. Avenida Caballeros street improvements consist of a
204 A
landscaped median on Caballeros at the intersection of Alejo and Caballeros. An eight foot
sidewalk adjacent to Caballeros is also proposed. An internal driveway width of 24 feet is
proposed. The common driveway would be privately maintained as well as the landscaped
areas on the subject property and adjacent parkways.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a right-of-zone project that will meet all the RGA (8) property
development standards. Staff analyzed the project in relation to the RGA (8) zone standards
and found that the project is in compliance. The 14 dwelling units on 1.72 acres comply with the
maximum allowable density of 15 units. The proposed two-story building heights are
compatible with the existing neighborhood. The proposal also includes variable roofline
heights, varied massing and building pad placement to maximize view corridors not only from
the complex but also from adjacent properties. The size and density of the contemplated
development are appropriate for the site and the surrounding land uses.
Adjacent zone designation and uses are as follows:
City Zoning ACBCI Sec. 14 Zoning Use
North R-1-C (single N/A (Outside Sec. 14) Single family homes
family residential)
South RGA (8) (Garden HR(Residential high Vacant land
apartment and density)
cluster residential)
East RGA (8) (Garden MBR (Residential Open green belt and La Mancha
apartment and medium density- buffer project
cluster residential) for existing housing)
West RGA (8) (Garden MBR (Residential Vacant land
apartment and medium density- buffer
cluster residential) for existing housing)
The project has been reviewed by the City of Palm Springs Planning Commission in study
session and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Tribal Planning Commission and Tribal
Council. The City of Palm Springs Planning Commission questioned whether the project was to
be gated. The applicant responded that it was necessary to gate the project because optional
swimming pools were to be offered with each unit and the units back to the property
boundaries.
The ACBCI Planning Commission approved of the architectural style and the two-story two-unit
concept of the project. The Tribe also requested a short unspecified length landscaped median
on Avenida Caballeros (at the intersection of Alejo and Caballeros) be part of the conditioned
street improvements for this project. The purpose is to maintain consistency with the Section
14 Master Plan, creating a northern Section 14 entry statement on Caballeros. The Section 14
Master Plan's intent for Avenida Caballeros is to create a residential resort environment on the
east side of the street and a more urban character on the west side. In order to maintain
consistency with future southern development this project will be required to include 8'
sidewalks on Caballeros lined with shade trees. Filifera palm trees in groupings of two shall be
required approximately every 60 feet.
,2 119-2wmw
The target market for the development is couples. The applicant has indicated that the units
will be sold at approximately $395,000 - $425,000 each. The project will be gated with one
entry on Alejo Road. A perimeter wall will surround the project and each unit will have its own
private backyard and optional pool.
The architectural style of the project will be contemporary. The City's Design Review
Committee reviewed and approved the project with conditions that are included in Planning
Conditions of Approval/Exhibit A. The Committee also recommended that a trash enclosure be
included as part of the site design. Proposed conditions require the applicant to either submit a
letter from the waste disposal service stating that individual household pickup was acceptable
or include a trash enclosure in the design.
Parking compliance for condominium development has been calculated by Planning staff as
indicated on the following table.
Use Ratio Required Provided
Condominiums 1 '/z space/unit 21 28
Guest Parking 1 space/4 units 4 4
Totals 25 32
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND NOTIFICATION
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects). All property owners within a 400 foot radius of the
project have been notified. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any public
comment.

1. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

proposed subdivision.
The site is proposed for fourteen (14) two-story condominium units on 1.72 acres of land.
The proposed development is under the maximum allowable density of 15 units, as
permitted under the General Plan and Zoning Code. There will be no incompatibility issues
as the subject property is surrounded by vacant land zoned RGA (8) (the same zoning
designation as the proposed project)to the west and south, single-family residential uses
to the north, and RGA (8) zoned land to the east occupied by an open green belt and
residential project. The applicant proposes a medium density residential development that

to ensure public health and safety.
6. 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.
Alejo Road East is designated as a major thoroughfare on the City of Palm Springs
circulation plan. The applicant will be required to improve the road, curb, gutter and
sidewalk to match existing. Avenida Caballeros will be improved to include a short median
(the length to be determined by the City Engineer) constructed to City standards at the
intersection of Alejo Road East and Avenida Caballeros, curb, gutter and an 8-foot wide
sidewalk behind the curb. The 24-foot wide common driveway providing internal circulation
