Chairman Berkey asked that the following sentence be deleted from the staff comments: "#11, page 55 - An example of this phenomenon can be seen at Del Safari where Cook Street was -constructed along the west side of the project in a manner similar to that being proposed for Palm Isles." His reason for asking for the deletion was that it was an inaccurate statement in that Cook Street is not adjacent to Del Safari and that Cook Street was there long before the Del Safari pro- ject came into existence. Staff agreed with the deletion. Commissioner Reading moved that the Planning Commission, by Minute Motion, direct staff to forward their comments to the Riverside County Planning Commis- sion. Commissioner Snyder seconded the motion. Commissioner Kryder asked if he could abstain from the matter due to a possible conflict of interest. Chair- man Berkey stated that this would have to be Commissioner Kryder's own personal decision. The motion carried 4-0 with the following vote: AYES: KELLY, READING, SNYDER, BERKEY NOES: NONE ABSTAIN: KRYDER C. COUNTY .CASE NO. C/Z 2208 Consideration of County Referred Change of Zone from R-1-1 (Single- ramily-One Acre Lot Minimum) to R-T on property located approximately 1,300 feet northerly of the intersection of Monterey Road and Country Club Drive. Mr. Williams presented a brief background pertaining to the request to the Commission. He then stated that staff was recommending that the Planning Commission direct staff to notify the Riverside County Planning Commission that the Change of Zone request is in conflict with the Palm Desert General .Plan and that the proposed use may not be appropriate for the subject pro- perty. Staff's justification is based on the following: Said site is within an area designated Open Space -County Park on the Palm Desert General Plan. 2. No specific park sites have been designated on the Cove Com- munities General Plan, while new development in this area is rapidly eliminating the most logical sites. Commissioner Reading moved that the Planning Commission, by Minute Motion, direct staff to notify the County that the change of zone request is in conflict with the Palm Desert General Plan. Commissioner Kelly seconded the motion; motion unanimously carried (5-0).

Riverside, California 92501 Subject: Palm Desert Planning Commission Review of County Case Number C/Z (Change of Zone) 2208 Dear Mr. Newcomb: At their regularly scheduled meeting of June 14th, the Palm Desert Planning Commission did review the proposed re -zoning of Case No. 2208. In review of the City's General Plan, the Commission has directed me to notify you that the proposed re -zoning appears to be in conflict with the Palm Desert General Plan in that it shows a potential County Park on the area to be re -zoned. If not for this designation, the Commission would feel that the proposed re- zoning is a logical expansion of the adjacent existing Palm Desert Greens complex. In development of the City's General Plan, in reaction to the fact that the Cove Communities General Plan did not reflect any parks for this sphere of influence of Palm Desert, the City thought it appro- priate to designate areas where potential parks could be located. The corner of Monterey Avenue extended and Country Club Drive, being two major arterials, seemed to be an appropriate location for an ap- proximately 160-acre County -level park facility. As you are aware, the final location of any County park is subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors and the City's General Plan in terms of this designation should only be considered as input to the Board for plan- ning purposes. Continued........./ Mr. Jack Newcomb Page Two June 16, 1977 I wish to thank you for notifying us of this pending re -zoning and hope that our input will be of value to you in determining the appropriateness of the request. Very truly yours, PAUL A. WILLIAMS, SECRETARY PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION cc: Riverside County Planning Department - Indio Office PAW/mi CITY of PALM DESERT STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission Report On: Comments to Riverside County on Change of Zone Applicant: FRED MOTTLE Case No.: County Case No. C/Z 2208 REQUEST That the Palm Desert Planning Commission comment on a Change of Zone request being processed by the Riverside County Planning Department from R-1-1 to R-T for an 80-acre parcel located east of Monterey Avenue extended and 1,300 feet north of Country Club Drive. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission direct the staff to notify the Riverside County Planning Department that the Change of Zone request is in con- flict with the Palm Desert General Plan and that the proposed use may not be appropriate for the subject property. Justification is based upon the following: 1. Said site is within an area designated Open Space -County Park on the Palm Desert General Plan. 2. No specific park sites have been designated on the Cove Communities General Plan, while new development is this area is rapidly eliminating the most logical sites. III. BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting a Change of Zone from R-1-1 (1 acre minimum lot size) to R-T (Mobilehome Park and Subdivision) for 80 acres located east of Monterey Avenue extended adjacent to Palm Desert Greens. The Palm Desert General Plan tentatively designates the 160 acres at the northeast corner of Country Club and Monterey Avenue as the site for a major County park. The City, of course, has no legal authority to mandate such a use from the property owner or the County. However, concern must be expressed for future parks and other public facilities at this time, even though the site in question may not be the most appropriate, so that the County Planning Department can prepare a comprehensive analysis of these issues for the entire area instead of just reacting on a case -by -case basis. 1� WI �� al W IO n Cr 1 44=11— M m N M CZ ".208 ' W�1+�;Y7 'W 0 a A Y ter. 31 O01 0 I I -9 — _a1 r rc 1 �j i\\�. i — APE yAV r°.tea aI x yt NS, 1 — — — — t �,` ER ,� _Pa R%WAY—J _J WEST — — _ \�/� JkI t 2650. 54' \% I l, 1 at A 1 W 80.76 AC.± •) Y I a rw WI I I W z N \ j I of 01 I t <I 1 WWII I RED CrR�^\ i RFD HORSE 5y-0 G 11 3 1 I, SD Q,^_GRE_C3 i � DR S— —�R )UNTRY CLUB --- App. FRED MOTTLE Use R-1-1 TO R-T Dist.
