CASE NO. PP21-0010
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 3,d day of May 2022, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by
Heartbeat at 22 ("Applicant") for approval of the above-noted project request; and
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on the 12th day of April 2022, consider the request by the Applicant at its
meeting and recommended approval to the Planning Commission of the above-noted project
request; and
WHEREAS, the project conforms with the Mixed Residential District (R-2) zone, which
allows for a density of three (3) to 10 dwelling units per acre. The proposed total of six (6)
residential units is within the threshold of the allowed density of the R-2 zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project complies with all applicable development standards
for the R-2 zoning district, including building height and parking; and
WHEREAS, the R-2 zone also identifies transitional and supportive housing as a
permitted use per Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Section 25.10.030 Allowed Land
Uses and Permit Requirements, Table 25.16-1: Use Matrix for Residential Districts; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use of "transitional supportive housing" is considered
emergency housing, which falls under the Housing Accountability Act (HAA). The Housing
Accountability Act (HAA), among other things, "prohibits a local agency from disapproving, or
conditioning approval in a manner that renders infeasible, a housing development project for
very low-, low-, or moderate-income households or an emergency shelter unless the local
agency makes specified written findings based upon substantial evidence in the record." The
required findings in the consistency of the zoning and General Plan land use designation.
The proposed project has been deemed consistent with the R-2 zoning district and Small
Town Neighborhood General Plan land use designation. Therefore, under the HAA
guidelines, the project cannot be denied without a potential HAA violation.
WHEREAS, the project complies with the Small Town Neighborhood designation
within the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which allows for three (3) to 10 dwelling
units per acre; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2812
WHEREAS, under Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code, Section 15367 of the
State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), and the City of Palm
Desert's ("City's") Local CEQA Guidelines, the City is the lead agency for the proposed
project; and
WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City of Palm
Desert Procedure for Implementation of CEQA" Resolution No. 2019-41, in that the Director
of Development Services has determined that the project will not have a significant impact on
the environment and that the project is categorically exempt under Article 19, Section 15332
In-fill Development (Class 32) of the CEQA Guidelines, as outlined in the staff report and the
project is not subject to any of the exceptions for categorical exemptions identified in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15300.2; therefore, no further environmental review is necessary; and
WHEREAS, at the said the public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the Planning
Commission did find the following facts and reasons, which are outlined in the staff report,
exist to justify approval of said request:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the foregoing
recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this
Resolution.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the project is exempt from
CEQA per Section 15332 of the CEQA guidelines as the project is a Class 32 Exemption for
"in-fill" development. Class 32 is intended for projects characterized as in-fill developments
meeting the conditions described below:
1) The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all
applicable General Plan policies. As analyzed, the project includes an additional
density of five (5) new residential units that are consistent with the Small Town
Neighborhood General Plan designation and all applicable goals and policies. The
proposed project meets the development standards within the R-2 zoning designation.
2) The project occurs within a 43,135-square-foot parcel, which is less than five (5) acres
specified in the criteria of the Class 32 exemption and is substantially surrounded by
urban uses.
3) The site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The
site has been previously developed with a single-family home and tennis court.
4) Additionally, approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating
to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The proposed use will not result in
significant noise that will violate the City's Noise Ordinance. In addition, the City
Engineer has reviewed the proposed use and the existing infrastructure, including the
off-site improvements, and staff finds the use will not have a significant effect on traffic.
In addition, a preliminary grading plan and hydrology report have been submitted for
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2812
review, and final approval will commence as part of the conditions of approval herein.
No other significant noise or air quality effects were identified for the project.
5) Finally, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The proposed project has been reviewed by various utility agencies and public
services, including Southern California Edison, the Coachella Valley Water District,
and Burrtec Waste Management. These agencies have not identified that utilities in
the area are insufficient to serve the proposed multi-family housing.
Additionally, the project is not subject to any of the exceptions for categorical exemptions
identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2:
1) The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption, which is not listed as one of the classes
under 15300.2 (A). The project is not located on a site where it may have an adverse
impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where
designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state,
or local agencies. The project site will not impact designated environmental or
biological resources as it is not located within a conservation area as identified by the
Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
2) The project will not have a cumulative impact on the environment as no other
discretionary projects have been approved within 500 feet of the project site within
the last five (5) years. The area is largely built out with only in-fill lots available.
3) There are no unusual circumstances on the project site. The project site is not located
within a flood zone per the latest FEMA Flood Zone Maps. The project site is located
within an Urban area per Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps available from the
Riverside County Fire Department and depicted in Figure 8.5 on Page 119 of the
General Plan. The project site is not identified within an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone per
the latest maps on file with the California Department of Conservation; the nearest
fault zone is adjacent to the Indio Hills area north of the Palm Desert city limits
4) The project site is not located in the proximity to any scenic highway. The nearest
officially designated scenic highway is Highway 74, located approximately 1.4 miles
west of the project site.
5) The project site is not identified as a historic waste site on any list compiled per
Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
6) The project site does not contain any existing designated historic resource and is not
within a designated historic preservation district. The existing developments on the
site are part of the adjacent apartment complex, which was constructed in 1973 and
has not been identified as a significant historic resource.
SECTION 2. Project Recommendations. The Planning Commission hereby
recommends approval of PP21-0010, subject to the findings and conditions of approval.
