CASE TPM 30868-APPLICATION BYBROWNAND WEINER FORATENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF 7.34 ACRES OF LAND INTO 6 COMMERCIAL LOTS LOCATEDAT
THE PROPERTY BOUNDED BY RAMON ROAD EAST, PASEO DOROTEA, CALLE SANTA
CRUZ, AND CAMINO PAROCELA, 4201 RAMON ROAD EAST, ZONE P, SECTION 19.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends thatthe City Council approve Tentative Parcel Map 30868,
for a subdivision of 7.34 acres of land into 6 commercial lots, located at the Southeast corner of
Ramon Road and Paseo Dorotea. The applicant is Brown and Weiner a Partnership, which is
owned by Gary Brown and Monroe Weiner.
SUMMARY:
On January22,2003 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this project. The Planning
Commission voted 6-0-1, to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed Parcel Map.
In a related matter the Planning Commission approved a new office building on parcel number one.
The building is 13,000 square feet. The Planning Commission approval of the building and site plan
was final unless appealed to the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The project site is currently vacant and consists of 1 lot. The project site is designated Professional
pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned Professional (P), with an overlay of an
Noise Impact Combining Zone (N) by the Zoning Ordinance. The objective of the Professional
General Plan Designation is to allow or conditionally permit a broad range of professional uses in
an attractive environment in order to help the community become self-sufficient with all the
necessary services for all its residents. Tentative Parcel Map 30868 contemplates the subdivision
of a 7.34 acres into 6 parcels;parcel number 1,is the proposed location of the Social Security office
building and will be 1.56 acres. The remainding 5.78 acres will become 5 parcels available for future
development.
The minimum parcel size for the this zone is 20,000 square feet. All of the 6 new parcels would
comply with the Zoning Ordinance for lot width,depth and lot area. Lots range in size from 38,028
to 80,556 square feet.
The proposed six commercial lot subdivision developmentwill gain vehicular access from Paseo
Dorotea, Calle Santa Cruz, and Camino Parocela, all existing public streets. There will be no
vehicular access from Ramon Road. One lot will be developed at this time, the other five lots will
remain vacant forfuture development. Curb,gutter and sidewalk exist along Paseo Dorota,Camino
Parocela, Calle Santa Cruz(only improved lot), and Ramon Road frontages,with curb and gutter
only along the portion of street frontage of Calle Santa Cruz that is unimproved. The site drains
southeasterly. The common driveways will be privately maintained as well as the landscaped areas
around the development.
9P
A common access easement is proposed to provide internal access within the proposed
subdivision. Although this common access easement does not align with adjacent streets,the City
Engineer is comfortable with the traffic circulation for this project,with the specific development of
the created parcels subject to future evaluation, and approvals at the time they apply for
development.

The proposal to subdivide for professional land uses is compatible with surrounding land uses.
There are surrounding properties which are zoned for professional use.
Approval of this project will result in the creation of a six lot commercial subdivision.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND NOTIFICATION
An environmental assessment dated December 13, 2002, was prepared by staff for the subject
property and related Tentative Parcel Map. Potential impacts from the project include drainage,air
quality with respect to short-term construction activity, traffic and noise.
Construction of the project will increase the amount of hard surface,which will increase the amount
of surface runoff. As a requirement in the design of a final grading plan,the applicant will be required
to conduct all on-site flows to an approved drainage structure. The project is also subject to
applicable flood control and drainage implementation fees.
Construction of this projectwill increase the amount oftrafficwithin the vicinity,albeit only marginally
given the nature of the use and the relatively low traffic counts in the im mediate area. Atrafficstudy
was not required for the use and no significant improvements to the roadways serving the site will
be required forthe project. The primary traffic related concern,direct access to Ramon Road, has
been mitigated by prohibiting direct access to Ramon Road.
With all environmental mitigations incorporated into the attached resolution, staff feels that any
environmental issues will be reduced to a level of insignificance. If the Council concurs, the filing
of a Mitigated Negative Declaration by the City Council would be in order.
qh
The proposed project is within the limits of the Noise Impact Combining Zone for the Palm Springs
Municipal Airport, as identified in the City's Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. This location is
within periodic noise levels above 65 CNEL. Properties located within the 65 CNEL noise contour
are not required to provide noise insulation. Standard construction practices will reduce interior
noise levels by 20 dBa or more. No additional noise reduction is required.
All property owners within 400 feet of the subject property have been notified.

1 a-e)NO IMPACT. The proposed 13,100 square foot Social Security office building and related Tentative Parcel Map 30868 will be located on
a site which is designated Professional(P)pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map and is zoned Professional(P),with an overlay of an N
(Noise Impact Combining Zone)Zone by the Zoning Ordinance. The objective of the P(Professional)General Plan Designation is to allow or
conditionally permit a broad range of professional uses in an attractive environment in order to help the community became self-sufficient with
all the necessary services for all its reieklo rts. A Social Security office building is a permitted use pursuant to Section 92.08.01 of the Zoning
4 qn l
Ordinance.Tentative Parcel Map 3M8,which is being processed concunenllywith a Major ArchltecturalApplication forthe new Social Security
office building,contemplates the subdivision of a 7.34 acre into 6 parcels;parcel number 1 the proposed location of the Social Security office
buildingwill be 1.56 acres and the remalnder5.78 acreswill become 5 parcels and will remainvacant for future development.The minimum parcel
size for the this zone is 20,000 square feet. Each of the 6 new parcels created complies with the Zoning Ordinance for lot width,depth and lot
area. All public services and utilities are currently In place and no expansion to the infrastructure,are proposed as part ofthe project. Theproject
1s located In an area which is predominantly developed. The property immediately surrounding the proposed Social Security site consist of an
older single family residential subdivision to the east,older apartments and a professional building to the west,a school to the south,a car wash
to the north,and an animal hospital to the northeast. All uses surrounding this project are within a noise impact combining zone. Given the
distance between the existing uses and the proposed project,there should be no Impacts caused by the development of the proposed project
relative to these residents or any other surrounding land uses.
2. POPULATION AND HOUSING

undeveloped area or extension or directly or
indirectly (e.g. through projects In an undeveloped
area or extension of major infrastructure)? ❑ ❑ ❑
c) Displace existing housing, especially
affordable housing? ❑ ❑ ❑
2. ac)NO IMPACT. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map and development of a 13,100 square foot Social Security office building,will result
in approximately 37 full time employees and a maximum of 26 visitors at one time. The site will have 63 parking spaces. The proposed Social
Security office building and subdivision is conslstentwlth existing zoning and general plan designations for the property. The project is not likely to Induce growth 16 the area because the project is proposed as an in-fill development. The project utilizes existing Infrastructure and does not
Includethe extension of newinfrastmctureinto an undeveloped area lacking major Infrastructure. Sincethe site is vacant,displacement of existing
housing including affordable housing,will not occur,and there should be no impacts to population and housing as a result of the project

j) Is a major landform, ridgeline, canyon, etc.
involved? ❑ ❑ ❑
3.a-j)NO IMPACT. The subject site consists of 7.34 acres of vacant land. The development of the proposed Subdivision and new Social
Securityoffice building will Involve minor grading of the existing terrain.The preliminary grading plan notes 12,000 cubicyards of cut and 12,000
cubic yards of fill. This grading so"will not result In significant impacts to on-site and off-site drainage patterns or soil erosion.The applicant
will be required to submit soils and compaction reports for review and approval by to the City of Palm Springs Department of Planning and Zoning
and the Engineering Department.There are no known geological hazards present on the site other than potential ground shaking associated with
earthquakes, and the site is not located within any Alquist-Priolo or City adopted special study zone. A site inspection conducted by the
Department of Planning and Zoning verified that the site is relatively Flat,with no slopes exceeding 10%.Therefore,there.is no potential for a
significant effect on the environment due to intrusion into slope or hillside areas.
There are no known unstable earth conditions associated with the project site based on review of the Seismic Safety Element of the City of Palm
Springs General Plan. The future development of the site will be designed to comply with the Uniform Building Code which mandates
requirements forseismic safelyconstruclion and the developerwill be required to submit a precise grading plan along with a soils report forreview
and approval of the City prior to the issuance of any permits. Therefore,there will be no geologic impacts as a result of the development of this
project and the proposed subdivision of the land.
The project will have no significant increases in wind erosion blows and or water erosion either on site or off-site are expected based upon review
by the Planning and Engineering Departments. Therefore,there is no potential for a significant effect on the environment due to erosion.
There are no known unstable earth conditions associated with the project site,and the nature of the project is such that there is no possibility of
creating an unstable condition. According to the General Plan,settlement and liquefaction as a result of seismic shaking are not considered
significant hazards in Palm Springs.Therefore,there will be no impact to the environment as a result of liquefaction hazard Issues.
The project site is located on the valley floorand is underlain by deposits of recent alluvium.Because the site Is generally level,no unique geologic
features are known to be present. Therefore,there is minimal potential for a significant effect on the environment due to impacts to unique
geological features. A site Inspection by Department of Planning and Zoning Staff reveals no major land forms on the site.Thus there exists no
potential for a significant effect on the environment due to an impact on a major land form.

1) Substantial reduction in the amount of
groundwater otherwise available for public water
supplies? ❑ ❑ 0
j) Are there any on-site or any proposed wells? OYes ®No
4.a)LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The subject site for which the Social Security office building and related Tentative Parcel Map are
contemplated is vacant and covered with native vegetation. The proposed project will Increase the amount of hard surface which will increase
the amount of surface runoff,however,the project will be required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer as part of the grading
plan check process,that surface runoff can be conveyed to an approved drainage carrier(e.g.adjacent roadways)or that sufficient on-site
detention of increased storm water runoff is provided such that current levels of storm water runoff from the site are not exceeded. Additionally,
due to the size of the project,it Is not anticipated that the amount of surface runoff will cause a negative impact upon surrounding roadways and
properties. Therefore,with compliance with usual City drainage requirements,impacts resuting from changes in surface runoff will be less than
significant.
4.b,-j)NO IMPACT. Based upon a reviewof the Federal Emergency Management Agency,Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps(Community
Panel No.060257 0007 D)and the knowledge of the Planning and Zoning Department staff and the City Engineer,the site is located outside of
the 100-year flood way. Due to the nature of the project and its location,the project will not create a change in the course or direction of water
movements,the quantity of ground waters,alter the flow of ground water,and there are no wells on the subject site. Additionally,according to
the U.S.G.S.Topographical Quadrangle Map,no natural drainage course or flood control channel exist on the site. The site is located north of
the Tahqultz Creek channel. Therefore,the project will not be impacted by water and flood related issues nor create Impacts on water related
issues.
5. AIR QUALITY

cause any change In climate? ❑ ❑ ❑
d) Create objectionable odors? ❑ ❑ ❑
7 q,g
5.a)POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT UNLESS MITIGATION INCORPORATED. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the General Plan
and Zoning designations for the property. The project will also be consistent with the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD)
CEQA Air Quality Handbook. However,due to future project construction and grading activities,short term impacts to air quality could occur.
To minimize construction activity emissions,the project applicant will be required to comply with the City's Fugitive Dust and Erosion Control
Ordinance. Compliance with this Ordinance will reduce the impacts to air quality to a level of Insignificance.
MITIGATION MEASURE:
AQ-1.The Iapplicant shall comply with Section 8.50 of the Palm Spring Municipal Code,Fugitive Dust and Erosion Control(PM-10)and prepare
and submit a plan to the Building Department to control fugitive dust emissions in compliance with the South Coact Air Quality Management
District(SCAQMD).The plan must implement reasonably available control measures to ensure that project emissions are in compliancewith the
SCAQMD.
5,brit) NO IMPACT. The project will be located on,a site that is surrounded by professional buildings,a carwash,a school, mutt family
residences,and single family residences. The proposed project will not alter climatological conditions either locally or regionally. The proposed
Social Security office building will not interrupt wind patterns. Short term impacts,such as odors and pollution created by diesel engines of large
equipment during construction and grading operations,may occur as a result of the development of the site but due to their short term nature these
are considered less than significant.

. 8 11? 413
h) Rail,waterbome or air traffic impacts? ❑ ❑ ❑
6. a,b)LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The proposed development and use as a Social Security office building vriil generate a maximum
clientele of 26 people at any given time during business weekday or Saturday business hours along with a maximum employee shift of 37 people.
Single tenant office buildings are determined to have 1.73 P.M. Peak Hour Trips per 1,000 square feet according to the ITE (Institute of
Transportation Engineers)Trip Generation Manual 5,Edition. A 13,100 square foot single tenant office building will therefore create 23 P.M.
Peak Hour Trips. Because this volume is less than the threshold of 50 P.M.Peak Hour Trips,a Traffic Study was not required for the project..
The project impacts to the existing vehicular circulation system are considered less than significant and will not cause any additional traffic
congestion in the immediate area.
6,c-h)NO IMPACT. As a result of the proposed site design and size of the related Tentative Parcel Map,unsafe ingress or egress will not be
created. To minimize vehicular conflicts driveways were purposely not located along Ramon Road frontage due to the high volume traffic along
that thoroughfare. Access has been designed to the satisfaction of the Fire Department and will allow for sufficient emergency access and
passing movement in emergencies,as necessary. The project does satisfy the zoning ordinance parking requirement fora 13,100 square foot
office building. Access to nearby uses,hazards for pedestrians and/or tricyclists will not result from development of the proposed project,nor
will it conflict with adopted policies supporting aftemative transportation. The proposal will not impact rail,waterbome or air traffic.

7.a-f)NO IMPACT. The subject property is presently vacant with native vegetation scattered randomly across the property. However,based
on a site inspection bythe Department of Planning and Zoning,the site is devoid of any sensitive,rare orendangered species of plants orpotentlal
habitat for endangered,threatened or rear animal species or their habitats. The site is located in an urbanized area of the City. Therefore,no
potentially significant impacts are expected to occur on plant and animal life as a result of this project.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the Planning Commission finds that, the final Mitigated
Negative Declaration for Tentative Parcel Map 30868 and Case No. 3.2283
has been completed in compliance with CEQA,the State CEQA Guidelines,
and the City's CEQA procedures contained in the City's CEQA Guidelines.
The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and considered the
information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds that
it adequately discusses any significant environmental effects of the
proposed project, and that, on the basis of the initial study and comments
received during the public review process, there is no substantial evidence
that there will be any significant adverse environmental effects as a result
of the approval of this project. The Planning Commission further,finds that
the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its independent judgment
Section 2: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 the Planning Commission
finds thatfthe 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 94.04.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning
Commission finds that with the incorporation of those conditions attached
in Exhibit A:
a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for
which an office building is authorized by the City's Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map and Major Architectural application fora 13,100
square foot Social Security Building development is in harmony with the various
elements and objectives of the City of Palm Springs General Plan and is not
detrimental to the existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
The subject property is designated as Professional on the City's General Plan Land
Use Map and Professional and Noise Impact Combining Zone on the City's Zoning
Map. The objective of the P designation provides areas for law, insurance,
financial, medical and similar office and institutional uses, and associated support
facilities. The proposed use fits within the broad range of uses typically allowed in
the P General Plan and P Zoning Ordinance categories.
b. The site 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 applicant is requesting the entitlement of subdividing 7.34 acres of land into 6
commercial lots. The proposed commercial lots range in size from 38,028 square
feet to 80,556 square feet. The property is currently vacant and is zoned
Professional and Noise Impact Combining Zone with a General Plan designation of
Professional. The project is within the density allowed by the General Plan and is
in scale with the surrounding neighborhood.
The proposed Social Security office building will be one (1) story with a maximum
height of nineteen (19) feet four (4) inches. The applicant is proposing fifty nine
(59)standard parking spaces and three (3) handicap parking spaces totaling sixty
two(62)parking spaces for the project. The parking lot area will have 50%shading
meeting the Zoning Code requirement (Section 93.06.00). Total building ground
floor lot coverage is 13,100 square feet comprising of 19.3% of the total lot area.
Paving Area is proposed at 39.1%. Landscaped open space is proposed at 41.6%
of the total lot area. The landscaped open space requirement is 40 %.
C. That 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 six commercial lot subdivision developmentwill gain vehicular access
from Paseo Dorotea, Calle Santa Cruz, and Camino Parocela, all existing public
streets. There will be no vehicular access from Ramon Road. One lot will be
developed at this time, the other five lots will remain vacant for future development.
Curb,gutter and sidewalk exist along Paseo Dorota, Camino Parocela,Calle Santa
Cruz (only improved lot), and Ramon Road frontages, with curb and gutter only
along the portion of street frontage of Calle Santa Cruz that is unimproved. The site
drains southeasterly. The common driveways will be privately maintained as well
as the landscaped areas around the development.
A common access easement is proposed to provide internal access within the
proposed subdivision. Although this common access easement does not align with
adjacent streets, the City Engineer is comfortable with the traffic circulation for this
project, with the specific development of the created parcels subject to future
evaluation, and approvals at the time they apply for development.
d. That the conditions to be imposed and shown,on the approved site plan are deemed
necessary to protect the public health,safety,and general welfare and of the zone's
property development standards.
The project is consistent with good development practices and would be beneficial
to development in the vicinity. The project is located in Redevelopment Project
Area 9-1 and will add to the revitalization of this redevelopment project area.

basis of the initial study and comments received during the public review
process, there is no substantial evidence that there will be any significant
adverse environmental effects as a result of the approval of this project. The
City Council furtherfinds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its
independent judgment
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 9.62.030 of the Municipal Code, the City Council finds
that with the incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for
which an office building is authorized by the City's Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map application fora subdivision is in harmonywith
the various elements and objectives of the City of Palm Springs General Plan and
is not detrimental to the existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
b. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said subdivision.
The applicant is requesting the entitlement of subdividing 7.34 acres of land into 6
commercial lots. The proposed commercial lots range in size from 38,028 square
feet to 80,556 square feet. The property is currently vacant and is zoned
Professional and Noise Impact Combining Zonewith a General Plan designation of
Professional. The projectiswithin the densityallowed bythe General Plan and is in
scale with the surrounding neighborhood.
C. Thatthe siteforthe proposed use relatesto streets and highways properly designed
and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed
use.
The proposed sixcommercial lotsubdivision developmentwill gain vehicularaccess
from Paseo Dorotea, Calle Santa Cruz, and Camino Parocela, all existing public
streets. There will be no vehicular access from Ramon Road. One lot will be
developed at this time,the other five lots will remain vacant for future development.
Curb,gutter and sidewalk exist along Paseo Dorota,Camino Parocela,Calle Santa q�l
Cruz (only improved lot), and Ramon Road frontages, with curb and gutter only
along the portion ofstreetfrontage of Calle Santa Crurthatis unimproved. Thesite
drains southeasterly. The common driveways will be privately maintained as well
as the landscaped areas around the development.
A common access easement is proposed to provide internal access within the
proposed subdivision. Although this common access easementdoes notalignwith
adjacent streets,the City Engineer is comfortable with the traffic circulation forthis
project, with the specific development of the created parcels subject to future
evaluation, and approvals at the time they apply for development.
d. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed
necessary to protect the public health,safety,and general welfare and of the zone's
property development standards.
The project is consistent with good development practices and would be beneficial
to development in the vicinity. The project is located in Redevelopment Project Area
9-1 and will add to the revitalization of this redevelopment project area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council
