of the Whitewater Channel and related 40-lot in-
dustrial subdivision and a related request for'ap-
proval of a Conditional Use Permit and Preliminary
Design Review to allow an Industrial Park Develop-
ment on the site.
Mr. Williams reviewed the Change of Zone and noted that it
is compatible with the adjacent zoning.
Chairman Berkey noted that this request does not conform to
the Minute Motion that was sent to CVAG regarding the right-of-way
lon Avenue 42.
Mr. Williams stated that the thought was to separate the com-
mercial from the residential.
Mr. Beebe noted that northerly of Avenue 42 the County states
that they will not go much further but if they do it will be an 88
foot right-of-way.
Chairman Berkey stated that the City's position on Avenue 42
should be firmed up before any action is taken.
Mr. Williams stated that the Tentative Tract and the Conditional
Use Permit could be continued in light of the question on Avenue 42.
He also noted a letter of concern received from the City of Indian
Wells stating that they were concerned with the intrusion of industrial
upon commercial.
Commissioner asked that the Tentative Tract be continued and
allow the Staff time to pursue the issue of Avenue 42.

IY. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ITEMS
A. Review of Cases acted on by the Design Review Board
at their meeting of JulA 25, 1978.
Air. Cipriani reviewed the cases. Case No. 134:1IF was reviewed
and Air. Larry Spicer of Ironwood spoke to the Commission.
Sir. Spicer noted that he had sent a letter to the Ironwood
residents telling them of this meeting but it appears to be a no
show. He then introduced the architect for the project.
Air. Dale Naegle addressed the Commission and noted that the
goal of the project was to have living units with privacy and se-
curity. He further reviewed the project and noted the location
of the tennis courts which allows for maximum unit privacy. Also
a 3rd pool has been added, 6 more tennis courts, and additional
parking were noted. Air. Naegle stated that he felt they had met
the concerns of the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission.
Air. Fred Archbuckel, Landscape Architect for the project,
noted that the courts obtain individual identity, by use of lots of
plan material. Also the water in the swale area will be handled
by a bed of rocks or boulders.
Air. Spicer spoke about the correspondence received from
Ironwood residents noting the following concerns: traffic, size of
units, creating a resort atmosphere, and density. He then stated
that if the tennis courts are considered in the entire site the den-
sity would be 5.75 units per acre. without figuring the tennis courts

Case Nos.: CZ 07-78, TT 13236, CUP 08-78
Date: August 1, 1978
I. REQUEST:
Request for approval of a Change of Zone from 'S' Study to S.I. (U.A.)
on approximately 29 acres located on the east side of Cook Street

subdivision and a related request for Approval of a Conditional Use
Permit and Preliminary Design Review to allow an Industrial Park
Development on the site.

of pavement
D. Cook Street: 11' dedication proposed to provide for a 55' half -
width and ultimate right-of-way of 110'.
IV DISCUSSION:
The applicant is seeking approval of a Change of Zone and related
tract map and Conditional Use Permit to allow an industrial park
development on the 29 acre site. The proposal calls for an interior
street system that would be private. These streets would have 50'
of paving within 66 foot right-of-ways. Lots 1-3 are proposed to
accomodate whole -sale -retail uses such as lumberyards, this being
the reason they are larger than the remaining lots which are generally
100' x 145' in size. On the smaller lots 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft.
structures are proposed. These structures would be masonry and metal
with decorative fronts facing the interior streets. Zero side yards
are proposed on one side of each lot in order to provide parking on
each individual lot and promote orderly development rather than random
scattering of structures. This would eliminate small areas where unsightly
storage might occur. Perimeter fencing proposed includes chain link with
masonry pilasters. Extensive mounding is proposed along Cook Street
with masonry walls broken by landscaping at specific locations.

A. CASE 40. C Z 07-78 'CLIFF SWANSON, ET. AL, APPLICANT: Con-
sider ion of Change of Zone from 'S' Study to S.I. (U.A.)
(96) or Any Other Zone DeemedfAppropriate on Approximately 29
Acres Located on the East Side of Cook Street Northerly of
the Whitewater Channel.
Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked
for the Staff Report.
Mr. Williams reviewed the Staff Report and the exact location
of the property under consideration. He stated that the
Planning Commission has been considering a Change of Zone,
a Tentative Tract Map, and a Conditional Use Permit on this
parcel; however, they have elected to act only on the Change
of Zone to give them more time to evaluate Avenue 42 and
whether or not it should become a through street. Mr..
Williams concluded by stating that the Commission had
reviewed a letter from Indian Wells stating their opposi-
tion to the Change of Zone. It was Staff's recommendation
that the request be approved by Ordinance No. 192.
Councilman Brush pointed out that if we leave the parcel
as it is, it can be developed in the County to standards
not up to what we prefer. He stated that the Council
almost had to do this to assure that the City got something
in there that would be suitable to the City of Palm Desert.
Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the Change of Zone, and
none was offered.
Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the Change of Zone,
and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed.
Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Brush seconded to
waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. 192 to second reading,
approving a Change of Zone from 'S' Study to S.I. (U.A.). Motion
carried on a 4-1 vote, with Councilman Newbrander voting NOE.

show. He then -introduced the architect for the project.
Mr. Dale Naegle addressed the Commission and noted that the
goal of the project was to have living units with privacy and se-
curity. He further reviewed the project and noted the location
of the tennis courts which allows for maximum unit privacy. Also
a 3rd pool has been added, 6 more tennis courts, and additional
parking were noted. Mr. Naegle stated that he felt they had met
th ,concerns of the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission.
a' Mr. Fred Archbuckel, Landscape Architect for the project,
noted that the courts obtain individual identity by use of lots of
�,plan material. Also the water in the swale area will be handled

IV' DISCUSSION:
11' dedication proposed to provide for a 55' half -
width and ultimate right-of-way of 110'.
The applicant is seeking approval of a Change of Zone and related
tract map and Conditional Use Permit to allow an industrial park
development on the 29 acre site. The proposal calls for an interior
street system that would be private. These streets would have 50'
of paving within 66 foot right-of-ways. Lots 1-3 are proposed to
accomodate whole -sale -retail uses such as lumberyards, this being
the reason they are larger than the remaining lots which are generally
100' x 145' in size. On the smaller lots 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft.
structures are proposed. These structures would be masonry and metal
with decorative fronts facing the interior streets. Zero side yards
are proposed on one side of each lot in order to provide parking on
each individual lot and promote orderly development rather than random
scattering of structures. This would eliminate small areas where unsightly
storage might occur. Perimeter fencing proposed includes chain link with
masonry pilasters. Extensive mounding is proposed along Cook Street
with masonry walls broken by landscaping at specific locations.

C. Existing Zoning: M-1 (County Zoning)
D. Adjacent Zoning: North R-1 12,000 (County Zoning)

Tentative Tract Information
A. No of Proposed Lots: 40 lots
B. Proposed Utilities: Sewer - C.V.C.W.D.
Water - C.V.C.W.D.
Power - Southern California Edison
Gas - Southern California Gas
Telephone: General Telephone Company
C. Interior private streets: 66 feet of right-of-way with 50 feet
of pavement
D. Cook Street: 11' dedication proposed to provide for a 55' half -
width and ultimate right-of-way of 110'.
IV' DISCUSSION:
The applicant is seeking approval of a Change of Zone and related
tract map and Conditional Use Permit to allow an industrial park
development on the 29 acre site. The proposal calls for an interior
street system that would be private. These streets would have 50'
of paving within 66 foot right-of-ways. Lots 1-3 are proposed to
accomodate whole -sale -retail uses such as lumberyards, this being
the reason they are larger than the remaining lots which are generally
100' x 145' in size. On the smaller lots 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft.
structures are proposed. These structures would be masonry and metal
with decorative fronts facing the interior streets. Zero side yards
are proposed on one side of each lot in order to provide parking on
each individual lot and promote orderly development rather than random
scattering of structures. This would eliminate small areas where unsightly
storage might occur. Perimeter fencing proposed includes chain link with
masonry pilasters. Extensive mounding is proposed along Cook Street
with masonry walls broken by landscaping at specific locations.
