characteristics considered by the Palm Desert General Plan for the ED land use designation;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed Project conforms to the development standards in the City's
Zoning Ordinance for the SI zoning district and other applicable requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on the 25th day of October 2022, recommended approval to the Planning
Commission of the above-noted project request; and
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

WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred; and
WHEREAS, at the said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council 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. Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the foregoing recitals
are true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. CEQA Findings. The application has complied with the requirements of the
"City of Palm Desert Procedure for Implementation of CEQA" Resolution No. 2019-41, in that
the Planning Commission finds that the Project is exempt from CEQA per Section 15332 of
the CEQA guidelines as the Project is a Class 32 Exemption for Infill" development. Class 32
is intended for projects characterized as infill developments satisfies 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
52,528 square feet of personal storage building area on a vacant parcel. The proposed
Project complies with the development standards within the Service Industrial (SI)
zoning designation.
2) The Project occurs on a 1.87-acre portion of the Project site, 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 graded and is occupied by existing portable building
structures and a greenhouse. The site is not identified as suitable as a habitat for
endangered species in the Coachella Valley Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP).
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.
The Applicant has provided a Traffic Impact Assessment letter identifying that the
Project will generate up to 92 trips per day, with up to six (6) trips produced at AM
peak hours and nine (9) trips produced at PM peak hours. This Project will not
adversely impact the surrounding traffic system per the County of Riverside Analysis
Guidelines for Level of Service and Vehicle Miles Traveled adopted in December 2020
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2825
(TIA Guidelines), which are adopted by reference by the City of Palm Desert for the
purpose of traffic review. The TIA guidelines indicate that projects that generate less
than 100 peak-hour trips typically do not affect the level of service (LOS). Additionally,
the TIA guidelines indicate that the mini-storage yards (personal storage) are an
activity that will not require a TIA. In addition, a preliminary grading plan and hydrology
report have been submitted for 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 office building and parking area.
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. The proposal does
not conflict additional impacts in terms of traffic generation. The proposal will expand
existing parking areas and construct new admin and storage buildings, which replace
existing portable buildings used for the same functions. As indicated by the traffic
impact assessment prepared for the Project, no significant traffic impacts are
anticipated.
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 proximity to any scenic highway. The nearest officially
designated scenic highway is Highway 74, located outside of the Palm Desert City
Limits, approximately 5.3 miles to the south of the Project site.
5) The Project site is identified as a historic waste site on any list compiled per Section
65962.5 of the Government Code.
3
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2825
6) The Project site does not contain any existing designated historic resource and is not
within a designated historic preservation district. The site is vacant.
SECTION 3. Project Approval. The Planning Commission approves Precise Plan/
Environmental Assessment 22-0005; and
SECTION 4. Approval. The Planning Commission approves and adopts the Project,
subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
