CUP 84-8 and C/Z 85-1��CITY OF PALM DESERT, Applicant Request for approval of a change of zone from R-1 to public and a conditional use permit to allow construction of a 15,000 square foot youth center located at the southwest corner of Rutledge Way and Magnesia Falls Drive. Mr. Diaz explained that this request had been continued prior to the merging of the YMCA and Palm Desert Youth Center. He stated that staff was withdrawing the application with the provision that if any other type of facility for that site is proposed, discussion would be necessary with the Desert Sands Unified School District. B. Case No. DP 01-82 (Amendment A2) - CARVER MANAGEMENT CORP., Applicant Request for approval of an amendment to a previously approved development plan for a shopping center to permit deliveries on the west side of the market on Saturdays in addition to the Monday through Friday deliveries already approved, for property zoned PC (2) (District Commercial Center) and located at the southeast corner of Monterey Avenue and Country Club Drive. Mr. Sawa reviewed the request and indicated that staff was recommending denial of the request of seven deliveries on Saturdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. He noted that two letters from residents had been received since the writing of the staff report. The letters indicated that the two residents would agree to the winter hours of 10:00 a.m. thru 6:00 p.m. with a maximum of five deliveries during an eight hour period, and the summer hours of 9:00 a.m. thru 7:00 p.m. with a maximum of five deliveries during a ten hour period. Commission and staff discussed the staff recommendation and staff agreed that if the property owners and Carver Management find the terms outlined in the submitted letter acceptable, staff recommendation could be positive and suggested a trial period. Chairman Crites opened the public testimony and asked the applicant to address the commission. MS. SANDRA YAVITZ, Carver Management, stated that she had met with the neighbors and reached an agreement. She indicated that the hours in the letter submitted were acceptable. Commissioner Erwood asked Ms. Yavitz if the other affected residents were in favor of the hours. Ms. Yavitz answered that the owner of lot 17 agreed, but that the owner of lot 16 was opposed to the commercial development. Chairman Crites asked if anyone present wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the case. MR. BOB RITCHEY, 40349 Sugarbush Court, owner of lot 13, stated that the main concern with Saturday delivery would be noise, which had been mitigated at a previous meeting. He agreed that a trial period would be beneficial. Mr. Ritchey stated that the hours listed in his letter were acceptable. Commissioner Wood noted that in normal family neighborhoods Saturday is work day around the house. Mr. Ritchey agreed. Commissioner Wood indicated that there would be no Sunday deliveries. -2- MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 5, 1985 Action: Moved by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Wood, to approve consent calendar by minute motion.

Mr. Diaz explained that staff was requesting a continuance to address some of the issues presented by the adjacent residents. He stated that the youth center and area residents could hold a separate meeting to help resolve any problems prior to the recommended continuance date of March 5, 1985. Mr. Diaz suggested that the . residents meet with staff representatives in a separate conference to discuss some of the issues. Chairman Crites inquired of counsel if the public hearing needed to be opened at that time. Mr. Patterson recommended a motion of continuance without opening the public hearing. Mr. Diaz indicated that he and Mr. Joy would accompany the residents to the community services conference room.

APPLICANT: CITY OF PALM DESERT I. BACKGROUND: A. SITE DESCRIPTION: The 2.57 acre site belongs to the city as a result of a park dedication and measures 167 feet of depth and 760 feet in width. Currently the area is all grass and is improved with curb and gutter along both street frontages. There are also a few backstops on the site while a row of oleanders separates it from the community park. B. ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE: NORTH: PR-5/VACANT SOUTH: R-1/SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES EAST: R-1/SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES WEST: P/COMMUNITY PARK AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL C. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION: Park. Il. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A. SITE PLAN: The proposed building is a free form curvilinear structure which is generally a maximum of 100 feet wide and has a length of 300 feet. The setbacks are as follows: From Rutledge Way 25' minimum 55' average From Magnesia Falls Dr. 120' minimum 140' average From Community Park 25' minimum 35' average B. ELEVATIONS: The building is proposed to be energy efficient in its orientation in that it opens up to an outdoor amphitheatre on the north side. The structure is also proposed to be sunk into the ground eight feet with nine foot berms built against the structure. The building is designed with a slight pitched roof with the largest room inside to be a gymnasium with a floor to ceiling height at that point to be 33 feet with overall building height to be 25 feet from existing grade. The parking requirements for a youth center are not specified. The closest standards would be that for possibly a health club which is space for each 150 square feet of floor area but do to the nature of the use, this standard which would require 100 parking spaces, is probably too high. The standards would 0 Z CUP 84-8, C/Z 85-1 Continued February 5, 1985 appear to be too high since the uses provided are strictly for youths. None the less, the city is scheduled to begin construction shortly to pave and stripe the parking area at the adjacent community park which will provide 197 spaces which should be plenty for all uses in the vicinity. C. POTENTIAL IMPACTS: During the conditional use permit process the commission/council determines if the site is appropriate for the type of use proposed, etc. Those most impacted by the proposed development would be the single family residences across the street from the site on Rutledge Way. The potential impacts would be traffic and noise. The design of the building minimizes these impacts through its orientation. There will be no entrance to the site from Rutledge so that parents dropping off children or children arriving by bicycle, etc., would do so from the park parking lot. The outdoor amphitheatre should also be noted will also be sunk in the ground eight feet in addition to a seven foot berm, so little noise spillover is expected to occur. The parking lot plan for the park, which is attached, shows curb installations as solid lines and future installations as dashed lines. Staff would feel that the future installations be installed at the time the center is constructed if not earlier along with the landscaping. Other improvements necessary would be extending sidewalk to the entrance from Magnesia Falls and Rutledge. D. ZONE CHANGE ISSUE: The requirement for a zone change is that it is consistent with the city's general plan. The general plan map for this area clearly designates the site as park since it is west of Rutledge Avenue, which is also clearly shown. Recreational facilities that the center contains, such as the gymnasium and games room, easily indicate that the facility will become part of the adjacent community park. The current R-1 zoning was on the property when the adjacent subdivision was created and the park dedication was made, which is now the project site. Although the property was dedicated as park space, the R-1 zoning remained. In other words, the proposed zone change is one which could have logically occurred when the subdivision was created. The change of zone is requested at this time to enable a more practical design of the structure that is allowed in a "P" zone rather than the R-1 zone. III. ANALYSIS: A. REASONS FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE OF ZONE: 1. The land use resulting from the change of zone would be compatible with adjacent proposed land uses as determined through the conditional use permit process. 2. The proposed change of znne would he compatible with the adopted Palm Desert General Plan since the area is designated as park by the placement of Rutledge Way. 3. There are changed conditions presently from when original zoning was adopted to warrant additional zoning of this type since the land was dedicated for public use when the lot was created. B. REASONS FOR APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: 1. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. -2- CUP 84-8, C/Z 85-1 Continued February 5, 1985 Justification: A youth center is an approved conditional use within the P zone. 2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Justification: The conditional use permit process and the review which has taken place assures that the permit, if granted, will foster a harmonious, convenient and workable relationship among land uses, as well as ensuring adequate consideration for urban design in the development process so that new development will enhance the city as it matures. 3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance, except for approved variances or adjustments. Justification: No variances are being requested and all provisions of the municipal code have been met. 4. That the proposed conditional use complies with the goals, objectives, and policies of the city's general plan. Justification: The youth center is being designed so that it will be compatible with the community park and surrounding residential neighborhoods. C. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The director of environmental services has determined that the project will not have a significant environmental impact and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impat has been prepared. IV. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the city council approval of CUP 84-8 and C/Z 85-1 by: 1. Adoption of findings. 2. Adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. V. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 2.
