HomeMy WebLinkAboutZOA 97-6 HOTEL STANDARDS 1998 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 5, 1998 Chairperson Campbell noted they were talking about Jensen's and asked about the proposed size. Mr. Green said it would be approximately 4,000 square feet. Commissioner Fernandez asked the City Attorney if this would be a conflict of interest for him. Mr. Hargreaves didn't believe there was a conflict of interest nor a foreseeable economic impact on his employer. Commissioner Beaty said he didn't have a problem with the proposal because the area has changed so much and those uses would be welcome. Mr. Drell felt the direction would be for staff to initiate as part of a precise plan an appropriate commercial zone for the project being described. Commissioner Beaty noted that could apply to both sides of Cook Street. Mr. Drell agreed that theoretically it could. Commissioner Finerty said she was in agreement with Commissioner Beaty. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Beaty, seconded by Commissioner Finerty, directing staff to initiate the appropriate change of zone in conjunction with an �application for a precise plan. Motion carried 4-0. Continued Case No. ZOA 97-6 - CITY OF PALM DESERT, Applicant Request for consideration of an amendment to Chapter 25.56,500 of the Municipal Code (Hotel Development Standards). Mr. Drell explained that this was a case number created when the code was going to be amended for the hotel standards and when the recent Marriott proposal was processed it was given another case number and staff just wanted to table this one. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Finerty, seconded by Commissioner Fernandez, accepting withdrawal of Case No. ZOA 97-6 by minute motion. Carried 4-0. 29 CITY OF PALM DESERT DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PHILIP DRELL, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: MAY 5, 1998 SUBJECT: CASE NO. ZOA 97-6 (Amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 25.56.500-- Hotel Development Standards) I. BACKGROUND: This matter was before the Planning Commission as a public hearing item on September 16, 1997. At that time Commission continued the case to a date uncertain. It would be readvertised for public hearing after applications for proposed new hotels were received. When hotel plans were submitted by PDH ASSOCIATES, the associated zoning ordinance amendment to the hotel development standards was inadvertently given a new case number (ZOA 98-2, which was given final approval by City Council on April 29, 1998). Staff is requesting a housekeeping action by the Planning Commission to terminate continued Case No. ZOA 97-6. II. RECOMMENDATION: That Planning Commission, by minute motion, accept the withdrawal of Case No. ZOA 97-6.

Public Works Department Building & Safety Department Fire Marshal Pepe, MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1997 H. Case No. ZOA 97-6 - CITY OF PALM DESERT, Applicant Request for consideration of an amendment to Chapter 25.56.500 of the Municipal code (Hotel Development Standards). Mr. Smith informed commission that in the near future we would be receiving the hotel proposals at the Frank Sinatra/Cook Street corner. He indicated that there would be certain amendments to our current development standards for our hotels that would be necessary in order to move those applications along. Staff thought they knew what they were, but learned there might be more. Mr. Smith requested a continuance to a date uncertain and staff would schedule it concurrent with the processing of those applications when they are submitted. Chairperson Ferguson opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the proposal. There was no one. Chairperson Ferguson closed the public hearing since it would be continued to a date uncertain and asked for commission comments. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Jonathan, seconded by Commissioner Beaty, continuing Case No. ZOA 97-6 to a date uncertain by minute motion. Motion carried 5-0. IX. MISCELLANEOUS A. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR CASE NO. CUP 91-8 - SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY CHURCH. Mr. Smith noted that this item was continued to this evening in that there was some consideration that Planning Commission might reconsider the conditional use permit for Southwest Community Church. Through the Director they had been given 30 days to indicate that they can operate in a fashion that was favorably received by the community around them. Mr. Smith said he had an opportunity to talk with Mr. Richards who had brought forth some complaints through the summer. He indicated that recently the situation had been very good and felt that his conversations and discussions with Roger Phillips of Southwest Church had been very responsive. They took care of the shininess of the roof and put some mat finish on it to darken it down. He said there had been a few problems with band practice and he mentioned that Thursday, September 11 he or one of his neighbors went over there and there wasn't any adult supervision in evidence. He felt that basically there had been improvement. Chairperson Ferguson asked if Mr. Richards would like to address the commission. 28 CITY OF PALM DESERT DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission DATE: September 16, 1997 CASE NO: ZOA 97-6 REQUEST: Consideration of an amendment to Chapter 25.56.500 of the Municipal Code (Hotel Development Standards). APPLICANT: City of Palm Desert I. BACKGROUND: The city expects to receive plans for two hotel projects at the southwest corner of Frank Sinatra Drive and Cook Street in the near future. Based on a preliminary review several code amendments appeared to be needed to accommodate the project. We expected to have the applications in hand at this time but we do not. As a result we may not be aware of certain other amendments which may be necessary. II. CONCLUSION: Rather than go through this code amendment process possibly twice, we are recommending that this request be continued at this time to a date uncertain. We will reschedule and re-notice this matter concurrent with the processing of these projects. III. RECOMMENDATION: That this case be continued to a date uncertain.
