1. Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. , approving GPA 85-1.
2. Waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. _ approving C/Z 85-1 to
second reading.
B, DISCUSSION:
The general plan amendment and change of zone were initiated by the city council
as a result of the November 6, 1984, election. At that time voters in the City of
Palm Desert passed a city measure disallowing any commercial use and/or
development in the hillside areas. This property is the site that Don McMillan was
denied a conditional use permit for a restaurant in August, 1984.
The general plan presently indicates the property and surrounding area as Core
Area Commercial. As such, the property is zoned C-1 (General Commercial) in
order to be in conformance with the general plan.
Proposed is an amendment to the general plan land use designation from General
Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential. This would implement the city
measure prohibiting commercial development and/or use in the hillside areas, by
eliminating the commercial designation.
Along with the general plan amendment, a change of zone to HPR (Hillside Planned
Residential) is proposed which would implement the amendment.
The planning commission at their meeting of March 5, 1985, reviewed this item.
The property owner's attorney spoke and questioned whether residential zoning is
economically feasible. He, also indicated that he hoped that residential
development would not instigate another initiative on his clients property.
Two other Palm Desert property owners spoke and indicated an objection to any
type of hillside construction.
The planning commission generally felt that approval of the item was substantiated
for various reasons. Mr. Richards felt that the HPR zone would provide the
necessary protection of the hillsides. Mr. Erwood felt the voters had voiced their
opinion. Mr. Wood felt the change should go to the city council for their action.
Chairman Crites felt that while the citizens have indicated they do not want
GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1 Continued
commercial development the city does not know what they would accept on the
property, if anything.
After this discussion, on a motion by Mr. Richards, seconded by Mr. Wood, the
planning commission unanimously adopted the findings and resolution
recommending the general plan amendment and change of zone.

PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION
MARCH 5, 1985
Commissioner Downs indicated that a trial period of one year had already been
placed on the developer to mitigate noise.
Chairman Crites asked if Mr. Ritchey had designated specific months for summer
and winter. Mr. Ritchey had not at that time.
Chairman Crites asked if anyone else wished to speak in regard to the project.
Commissioner Richards asked that staff word the .motion for Saturday deliveries.
Mr. Patterson noted that refrigeration trucks have changed and noise on top of the
roofs might create a problem. He felt that a condition of a one year trial period
for tenants to come back would be acceptable with the protection for using the
added wall height and landscaping.
Chairman Crites stated that the Saturday deliveries could be stopped if there were
problems. Commissioner Richards explained that is why the two issues should
remain separate. Mr. Patterson then indicated that commission should specify the
conditions and what they would apply to.
Mr. Diaz noted that the motion should be to instruct staff to prepare a resolution
for adoption approving the terms and time lines set forth in the communication
received and that a six month trial period be in effect.
Action:
Moved by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Erwood, instructing
staff to prepare a resolution for approval at the March 19, 1985, meeting. Carried
5-0.
C. CASE NOS. GPA 85-1 and C/"Z 85-1 -1 CITY OF PALM DESERT, Applicant
Request for consideration of a general plan amendment to
change the land use designation from Core Area
Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential and a change
of zone from C-1 (General Commercial) to HPR (Hillside
Planned Residential) and a Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact as it pertains thereto, for 13.1
acres, located on the west side of Highway 111, 200 feet
northwest of Painters Path.
Mr. Sawa reviewed the background of the case and the staff report. He indicated
that staff was recommending that commission adopt the findings and resolution.
Commissioner Wood asked Mr. Patterson what the legal implications would be on
such an approval. Mr. Patterson replied that the planning commission action would
be an initial action which would require approval by the city council. He felt that
the commission could deal with this item without concern about impact on the
litigation.
Chairman Crites opened the public testimony and asked if anyone present wished to
speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the case.
MR. RICHARD ROMER, counsel for Mrs. Mitchell, the property owner, and
Mr. McMillan, stated that this was the one year anniversary for the start of
the project. Mr. Romer indicated that bound by what the city does
regarding the zoning and the impact on the lawsuit determined at that time,
the court ruled on the city's motion to dismiss denying that motion and
affirming the fact that Mr. McMillan and Mrs. Mitchell have stated a cause
of action for a taking of this property in the event that it is determined that
there is no economic use of the property. He explained that the court went
on to say that even if the property were rezoned residential, if that rezoning
action is not economically feasible it can be considered a taking. He felt
that the citizens voting on Measure E were not in favor of any type of
building and asked the commission to seriously consider whether the
rezoning to residential is not just delaying the inevitable and developing
further problems by not having the proper use of this property. He indicated

MARCH 5, 1985
that he was not just trying to set himself up for a lawsuit that would say you
have taken the property, now pay us. He did not want to see his clients to
go through another measure and election. He stated that he was not
advocating a decision in favor of one way or another and if the commission
could come up with a plan that was economically feasible, his clients' intent
was to develop the property. He asked that the commission consider
whether this is what the citizens want.
Chairman Crites asked if anyone present wished to speak in FAVOR or
OPPOSITION to the case.
Mr. Frank Little, 72-949 Bel Air, stated that he felt that the citizen's in the
city who voted to pass Measure E would be opposed to any type of
development and that it would detract from Palm Desert. He stated his
opposition and felt that other people would also.
MS. KAY CRAIG, 72-992 Bel Air, indicated that she was a 12 month
resident. She stated that she was against any type of development and
indicated that possible hillside slippage could be dangerous. She did not
want to see Palm Desert become a little Hong Kong.
Chairman Crites closed the public testimony.
Commissioner Richards noted that the applicant could have initially proposed a
variety of types of developments. Mr. Diaz indicated that the applicants would
still have had to go through the public hearing process. Commissioner Richards
indicated that the hillside site was visible from many locations. Mr. Diaz noted
that residential zoning requires different findings than a restaurant.
Mr. Diaz noted that some voters might be opposed to any type of development, but
stated that it could not be presupposed. He indicated that if a group of citizens try
to put another issue on the ballot to stop any building on the hillsides, it would have
to be considered.
Commissioner Richards asked about the possible impacts on adjacent hillside
property owners and if rezoning would keep the zonings consistent. Mr. Diaz
indicated that the zoning would have to conform to the amended hillside ordinance.
Commissioner Erwood noted that the voters told the commission what they wanted
the land to be rezoned as.
Commissioner Wood stated that he could sympathize with Mr. Romer on whether
the land would be developable or not. He felt that in this case the responsible
thing to do would be to approve the rezone and move the case up to the city
council. The attorney stated that at that time the city council could approve this.
Chairman Crites indicated that the voters did not want commercial, but that
nothing else could be presumed.
Action:
Moved by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Wood, to approve the
findings as presented by staff. Carried 5-0.
Moved by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Wood, to adopt
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1030, recommending to city council approval
of GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1. Carried 5-0.

TRANSMITTAL LETTER
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
REQUEST: Consideration of a general plan amendment to change the land use
designation from Core Area Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential
and a change of zone from C-1 (General Commercial) to HPR (Hillside
Planned Residential) and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
as it pertains thereto, for 13.1 acres, located on the west side of Highway
111, 200 feet northwest of Painters Path.

---------------------------
A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. , approving GPA 85-1.
2. Waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. _ approving C/Z 85-1 to
second reading.
B. DISCUSSION:
The general plan amendment and change of zone were initiated by the city council
as a result of the November 6, 1984, election. At that time voters in the City of
Palm Desert passed a city measure disallowing any commercial use and/or
development in the hillside areas. This property is the site that Don McMillan was
denied a conditional use permit for a restaurant in August, 1984.
The general plan presently indicates the property and surrounding area as Core
Area Commercial. As such, the property is zoned C-1 (General Commercial) in
order to be in conformance with the general plan.
Proposed is an amendment to the general plan land use designation from General
Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential. This would implement the city
measure prohibiting commercial development and/or use in the hillside areas, by
eliminating the commercial designation.
Along with the general plan amendment, a change of zone to HPR (Hillside Planned
Residential) is proposed which would implement the amendment.
The planning commission at their meeting of March 5, 1985, reviewed this item.
The property owner's attorney spoke and questioned whether residential zoning is
economically feasible. He also indicated that he hoped that residential
development would not instigate another initiative on his clients property.
Two other Palm Desert property owners spoke and indicated an objection to any
type of hillside construction.
The planning commission generally felt that approval of the item was substantiated
for various reasons. Mr. Richards felt that the HPR zone would provide the
necessary protection of the hillsides. Mr. Erwood felt the voters had voiced their
opinion. Mr. Wood felt the change should go to the city council for their action.
Chairman Crites felt that while the citizens have indicated they do not want
GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1 Continued
commercial development the city does not know what they would accept on the
property, if anything.
After this discussion, on a motion by Mr. Richards, seconded by Mr. Wood, the
planning commission unanimously adopted the findings and resolution
recommending the general plan amendment and change of zone.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A

property.
3. Hillside Planned Residential designation would not be detrimental to the
health, safety, or general welfare of adjacent properties.

Desert, as follows:

of the council in this case.

City of Palm Desert
Department of Environmental Services
Staff Report
TO: Planning Commission.
DATE: March 5, 1985
CASE NO: GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1
REQUEST:
Consideration of a general plan amendment to change the land use
designation from Core Area Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential and
a change of zone from C-1 (General Commercial) to HPR (Hillside Planned
Residential) and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact as it
pertains thereto, for 13.1 acres, located on the west side of Highway 111,
200 feet northwest of Painters Path.
INITIATED BY:
CITY OF PALM DESERT
I. BACKGROUND:
A. GENERAL:
The general plan amendment and change of zone were initiated by the city
council as a result of the November 6, 1984, election. At that time voters
in the City of Palm Desert passed a city measure disallowing any
commercial use and/or development in the hillside areas. While the measure
was written for all hillside areas, the impetus for the measure was the
conditional use permit request by Don McMillan for a restaurant on this
property.
B. ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: C-I/VACANT
SOUTH: C-I/PART VACANT WITH SOME COMMERCIAL
EAST: C-I/VACANT
WEST: AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE AND PD-C (RANCHO
MIRAGE) /VACANT
C. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION:
Core area commercial and related uses.
D. PREVIOUS RELATED CASES:
CUP 84-1, DON McMILLAN - 12,000 square foot restaurant denied by the
city council on August 9, 1984.
H. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND PROPOSED CHANGES:
A. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING:
The general plan presently indicates the property and surrounding area as
Core Area Commercial. As such, the property is zoned C-1 (General
Commercial) in order to be in conformance with the general plan. A zoning
history of the property was repared for the city council during the McMillan
consideration and is attached for your perusal.
B. PROPOSED CHANGES:
Proposed is an amendment to the general plan land use designation from
General Commercial to Hillside Planned Residential. This would implement
the city measure prohibiting commercial development and/or use in the
hillside areas, which passed in November, 1984, by eliminating the
commercial designation.
STAFF REPORT CONTINUED
MARCH 5, 1985
Along with the general plan amendment, proposed is a change of zone to
HPR (Hillside Planned Residential) which would implement the general plan
amendment. This zoning would permit residential uses based upon four
options with a minimum density of one unit per five acres of land.
III. ANALYSIS:
A. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT:
1. Change of general plan designation would conform with intent of city
measure passed in November, 1984, precluding commercial use and/or
development in hillsides.
2. Hillside Planned Residential designation would permit viable use of
property.
3. Hillside Planned Residential designation would not be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general welfare of adjacent properties.
B. REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR CHANGE OF ZONE:
1. The Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) zoning would be in
conformance with the general plan land use designation proposed by
GPA 85-1.
2. The HPR zoning would permit land uses and densities which would be
the same as those permitted in other similar hillside areas.
3. The HPR zoning would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of adjacent properties.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The director of environmental services has determined that the proposed
general plan amendment and change of zone would not have an adverse
impact on the environment and a negative declaration has been prepared.
IV. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that this proposal as initiated is acceptable and recommends:
A. Adoption of the findings;
B. Adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. recommending to
the city council approval of GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1.

measure passed in November, 1984, precluding commercial use and/or
development in hillsides.

of the commission in these cases;

Yes Maybe No
25. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment or to curtail \
the diversity in the environment? s _
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve
short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals? (A short-term impact on
the environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of time
while long-term impacts will endure well into / \
the future. )
c. Does the project have impacts which are indi-
vidually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two or more separate
resources where the impact on each resource
is relatively small , but where the effect of
the total of those impacts on the environment \
is significant. )
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects \
on human beings , either directly or indirectly?

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
City of Palm Desert
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Director of Environmental Services
SUBJECT: Zoning History of the Top of the Desert DATE: July 29, 1984
Restaurant Site.
1973 - On the county zoning map, three acres of the subject property located on the
lower slopes were zoned C-P-S (Scenic Highway Commercial). The rernalning
ten acres including the proposed restaurant site on the top of the hill was zoned
W-2, a general holding zone where specific use is determined when an application
is submitted.
1975 - On the original Palm Desert Zoning Map, the three acres on the lower slope were
retained as general commercial and the upper area was rezoned PR-1,H.
1979 - Pursuant to the Palm Valley Specific Plan, the upper ten acres were rezoned to
open space. The three acres of commercial were retained.
1983 - After the discovery of gross inaccuracies in the slope analysis which formed the
basis of the Palm Valley Specific Plan open space zoning recommendation, a new
specific plan was initiated. The city attorney advised the Hillside Subcommittee
that hillside overlay and open space zoning which does not provide property
owners with any viable use could result in invalidation of all hillside development
regulations or a successful inverse condemnation lawsuit. Since the city did not
have accurate topographic data necessary to pinpoint appropriate developable
sites, all open space not in public ownership was to be rezoned. Areas adjacent
to existing residential zoning was rezoned residential; areas adjacent to
commercial zoning to commercial. While it was agreed that the vast majority of
the hillside acreage would ultimately be maintained in open space, appropriate
sites for development were to be determined when accurate topographic surveys
were submitted with hillside development plans, precise plans, or conditional use
permit applications.
On the subject property, the three acres zoned for commercial development on
all maps prior to 1983 actually represents the steepest portion of the site and the
area least appropriate for development. If the upper portion had been rezoned
residential instead of commercial, then the city ran the risk of seeing both
commercial development or the exposed steep slope and two residential units on
the proposed restaurant site.
Zoning History of the Top of the Desert
Restaurant Site
It was determined that more control could be exercised if only one use was
allowed on the property. Since the area was surrounded by commercial and
service industrial zoning, the area was designated C-1 with final site selection
occurring as part of the precise plan or conditional use permit process.

Re : Your undated letter addressed to City of Palm
Desert, Attn: Ray Diaz, Director of Environmental
Services
Dear Mr. McMillan:
In the view of the City of Palm Desert, the initiative
passed by the voters in Palm Desert precludes commercial
zoning on your property. There appear to be two
alternatives available through the zoning process to be
applied to the property, one being open space and the second
being hillside planned residential . The Staff has, on the
instructions of the City Council, started the process for
the rezoning of meter and, in so o g the Staff has
recommended t hill planned residenti for the
property. Pen n action on`sucTzoning, any application
filed would, of necessity, not be determined prior to a
resolution of the zoning on the property. Certainly, if you
wish to file an application knowing that it will be
processed but held from the hearing stage until such time as
the zoning is determined, you may do so.
If you have any further questions, please contact me.
Yours very truly,
DAVID J. ERWIN

RE: GPA 85-1 and C/Z 85-1 - Request for Comments
Dear Mr. Diaz:
The proposed zone change to Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) for the entire
13.1 acres would be desirable over the existing Core Area Commercial (C-1)
designation now in place.
Any residential development, presumably at very low density (1 DU/2-1/2 - 1 DU/5
acres), would not generate a significant amount of traffic as the present
commercial zoning might. The main concern of the City regarding residential
development at the site would pertain to unsightly scars which might result from
necessary road and pad cuts. Appropriate architecture and landscape screening
of each residence would also be of concern to Rancho Mirage residents.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this proposal.
Sincerely,
David J. Abrams, AICP
