B. DISCUSSICN:
The Palma Village and Commercial ercial Come Area specific plans recommended that
certain R-1 areas directly adjacent to Highway 111 General commercial
zones be made available for public parking.
The use of these lots for parking would significantly contribute to the
economic feasibility of major private redevelopment efforts in these
areas. The parking lots would also create 32' wide landscaped greenbelts
adjacent to the residential zones. No direct access would be permitted
between the parking lots and residential streets.
The planning fission was presented three alternatives for implementing
these recommendations:
1) Adding commercial parking as a conditional use in the R-1 zone when
consistent with a specific plan.
I
CITY C"KM STAFF REPM

2) Rezane to R-3 which already allows parking as a conditional use.
3) Create a new parking lot zone.
The commission directed staff to initiate CUP Alternative No. 1. A
narrowly defined conditional use permit process within the R-1 zone was
felt to offer the simplest, most flexible approach with the most control.

STAFF REPO
TO: Planning Commission
DATE: February 20, 1990
CASE NO: PP 90-1
REQUEST: Precise plan for a 10,000 square foot office building and
associated parking lot and greenbelt to be located at 73-330
Highway 111 and 44-885 San Benito Circle.
APPLICANT: Kenneth Cokeley
P.O. Box 971
Solaro Beach, CA 92075
I. BAQ03BOLM:
Both the Palma Village and Commercial Core Specific Plans recommended that
between Monterey and Las Palmas Avenues the commercial zone be expanded to
include the residential lots which presently back onto the commercial
alley. The plans were designed to promote the redevelopment of the
Highway ill parcels, the creation of a Presidential Plaza type common use
rear parking area and a 30 foot wide greenbelt.
Presently the area contains a number of undeveloped or deteriorating
oommercial properties, a substandard alley and negatively impacted
residential properties. The proposed superblock parking plan would
significantly increase the development potential of the Highway 111
parcels, thus creatino3 the incentive for private improvement efforts. The
common rear parking area would be designed to maximize space and
circulation efficiency while creating a substantial greenbelt. The main
obstacle in plan implementation involves the timing of the improvements
and the lot consolidating necessary for efficient site design. The
assembly of parcels under different ownership and the demolition of
buildings is a long and costly process, often requiring redevelopment
agency participation.
II:-%PFD= DESCRIPTION:
The prnpoeal involves the site currently occupied by Aart's Electric and
the single family home to the north. The applicant proposes to clear both
sites of all existing structures and construct a 9,925 square foot
co Tercial building on Highway ill and a parking lot on the rear parcel.
The building would be 30 feet in height with two stories over ground level
parking. The first 24 feet of ground floor depth would be leasable
commercial space, creating a three story appearance. All mechanical
equipment would be within the building eliminating the need for a roof
parapet screen wall allowing for the building height to meet the 30 foot
maximum. The building interior will include a large central atrium open

to the sky. The building itself meets all ordinance setback and height
standards. The first floor is setback 5 feet, the second floor partially
setbacks 12 feet and the third an additional 4 feet.
PARKING
The dimensions of the Highway 111 parcel is 60, x 124' . The minimum width
for a double loaded 90 degree parking design is 64 feet (two 20, spaces
and 24' isle). To efficiently use the 60 foot width, 17' compact spaces
or 60 degree angle one-way circulation must be employed. The one way plan
would require an access from the frontage road.
The width of the rear parcel begins at 75 feet but narrows to 55 feet. As
a result, only 13 full sized parking spaces can be developed. Ultimately
when these rear lots are combined into a common parking area, the
inefficiency of individual lot geometry will disappear.
These problems of geometry severely limit the redevelognent potential of
single lots in this area. While the Aart's Electric building is a good
candidate for demolition, the buildings on either side are more likely to
be remodeled then destroyed.

STAFF REPORT
PP 90-1
FE MAAW 20, 1990
ZOND G ISSUES
The Palma Village and Cam*wcial Core Plans designate the rear parcels for
commercial parking lots. The zoning remains R-1 which does not permit
commercial parking. In addition to the subject application, the city has
received two requests relating to implementation of the rear parking plan.
Zoning insistency with the specific plan can be achieved in three ways:
1. Amend R-1 zone to add conditional use for commercial parking lots
when adjacent to C-1 zone and consistent with specific plans.
2. Rezone to R-3 .(8,000) which presently allows commercial parking as a
conditional use but would not change the residential density.
3. Create a new parking transition zone and apply it to the alley lots.
Amendment #1 is the simplest since it does not involve changing the zoning
map and would permit individual or small groups of lots to implement the
plan with a conditional use permit instead of a change of zone. A change
would have to be applied to a larger logical area to avoid a spot zone
situation. This alternative would continue to permit residential
construction on these lots.
Ammxlnent #2, charge to R-3 (8,000), requires a zoning map charge but more
clearly limits the parking option to a specific area. It is scmmtwhat
confusing since R-3 zones are normally associated with multifamily. The
8,000 square foot description would only permit one unit per lot.
Amendment #3 represents the most decisive statement of policy
implementation for the parking plan. By designating the area for parking,
commercial ercial developers and property owners would have a clear understanding
as to the future use, requirements and value. of the alley parcels. To
achieve the ultimate goal of a common use parking lot, the zone would
preclude new residential construction and specifically establish design
requirements for rear parking areas.
_-_SL144 y
The proposed building complies with the physical standards of the C-1
zone. The architectural design is of high quality and would be a strong
stimulus for upgrading of other properties in the area. The 30 foot
height is not unusual for buildings on the frontage road. The physical
geometry of the two lots is not well suited to efficient parking design.
Alternative #1 meets the parking quantity standard but fails to meet
design standards. Alternative #2 cares closer to the design standards but
falls short of the quantity requirements.
3
STAFF FUEPORT
PP 90-1
FEMPM 20, 1990
The best opportunity for both encouraging commercial upgrading and
adequate parking is a, clear statement of camiitment regarding the rear
parking plan. The most positive expression of this commitment would be a
rezoning to oc mmercial/parking transition zone. If the amnission wished
a more flexible approach which world continue to permit residential
construction, than one of the conditional use permit options would be
appropriate.
III. R ITICN:
1. Although the zoning and parking issues are unresolved, the applicant
needs feedback and direction so he can pursue possible solutions. Is
the two story over parking an acceptable architectural design? If
yes, which building alternative is preferred. If the ground floor
parking plan is unacceptable, then direct applicant to pursue
possibilities of acquiring more property so that all required parking
can be acoomodated in the rear lot.
2. Initiate the creation of a zoning ordinance amendment and/or a change
of zone to permit commercial parking consistent with the
reocunendatiens of the Palma Village and Cameroial Core Specific
Plans.

DATE: March 20, 1990
CASE NO.: ZOA 90-1
REQUEST: Approval of an amendnent to Chapter 25.16.030 of the Palm
Desert Zoning Ordinance to allow commercial parking lots as a
conditional use within the R-1 zone when adjacent to General
Commercial zones and consistent with recmnendations of a
specific plan.
APPLICANT: CITY OF PALM DESERT
I. BACEGFKXJM:
The Palma Village and Camcercial Core Area specific plans recrnmended
that certain R-1 areas directly adjacent to Highway 111 General
Camiercial zones be made available for public parking.
The use of these lots for parking would significantly contribute to the
eoonammi.c feasibility of major private redevelopment efforts in these
areas. The parking lots would also create 32' wide landscaped
greenbelts adjacent to the residential zones. No direct access would
be permitted between the parking lots and residential streets.
At the February 20th Planning Cacmission meeting, staff presented three
alternatives for implementing these recammendations:
1) Adding cortnercial parking as a conditional use in the R-1
when consistent with a specific plan.
2) Rezone to R-3 which already allows parking as a conditional
use.
3) Create a new parking lot zone.
The cannission directed staff to initiate CUP Alternative No. 1. A
narrowly defined C.U.P. process within the R-1 zone was felt to offer
the simplest most flexible approach.
