The proposed Ordinance would establish the Office Professional Zone, thus, implementing the land use category established during the General Plan hearings. During the July 10 review, staff was instructed to look into a provision to the Ordinance permitting similar uses to those listed, subject to interpretation by the Commission. While this provision is present throughout the Zoning Ordinance, staff feels that the provision should not be placed in this section and eventually be removed, the reasons for this are: 1. The Office Professional Permitted Uses is already.quite inclusive. 2. The proximity of the Office Professional areas to residential uses requires that it be very limited. 3. During the Zoning Ordinance rewrite the list of permitted uses in all zones will be explicit and broad. 4. Allowing such a provision could potentially limit the City's ability to prohibit specific uses. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending to the City Council Zoning Ordinance Amendment 11-81. 4ION DIAZ /lr Attachments OO 0 45-275 PRICKLY PEAR LANE, PALM DESERT,CALIFORNIA 92260 TELEPHOiiii (714) 346-06H August 28, 1981 CITY OF PALM DESERT LEGAL NOTICE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PALM DESERT ZONING ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AN OFFICE PROFESSIONAL DISTRICT "A" CLASS 5 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FOR PURPOSES OF CEQA.
