WHEREAS, the Project site has a land use designation of Employment Center in the
Palm Desert General Plan adopted on November 10, 2016, and a zoning designation of
Service Industrial (SI); and
WHEREAS, under Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code, Section 15367 of the
State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §

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 Infill Development (Class

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2844
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 Determination. 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 In-fill Development (Class 32) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The Project
proposes developing a 3,140-square-foot bus wash and storage facility on a vacant parcel in
an industrial zoning district. Class 32 applies to the development of underutilized or vacant
parcels of land within already developed urban or suburban areas that meet the following
conditions:
A. The Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all
applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and
regulations. The proposed bus wash and storage facility is consistent with the
Employment Center General Plan designation and the SI zoning district. The Project
does not conflict with the General Plan policies and meets all regulations of the PDMC
with approved modifications.
B. The proposed Project occurs within City limits on a site that is no more than five acres.
The project site is 0.89 acres and surrounded by similar urban uses.
C. The Project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.
D. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality. Approval of the Project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The Project site
is equipped with an underground retention system and underground separator system
to manage stormwater and wash water. Additionally, there are two gates with wide
driveways, situated at a proper distance from the street to prevent vehicular
congestion or stacking.
Pursuant to Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Class 32 exception may not be used
if the Project falls into any exceptions:
A. Location: 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 laws 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 Multi-species Habitat Conversation Plan (MSHCP).
B. Cumulative Impact:The proposed Project is not expected to have a cumulative impact
on the environment because it is designed to provide the required water collection,
waste, and drainage facilities to support the proposed use. Additionally, the project
aligns with the adjacent uses in the service industrial zone.
2
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2844
C. Significant Effect: There are no unusual circumstances associated with this Project or
location that would result in a negative impact on the environment. Appropriate
measures have been taken to prevent wastewater and waste disposal from entering
the environment.
D. Scenic Highways: The Project site is not located within proximity of any officially
designated state Scenic Highway. The nearest officially designated scenic highway is
Highway 74, south of Highway 111, located approximately 2.4 miles southwest of the
site.
E. Hazardous Waste Site: The Project site has not been identified as a hazardous waste
site per maps and databases provided by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC).
F. Historical Resources: The Project site does not contain any structure or title that would
designate it as a historical resource. Therefore, the Project will not cause a substantial
adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
SECTION 3. Project Recommendations. The Planning Commission hereby approves
Case No(s) PP/EA23-0004, subject to the findings and Conditions of Approval attached
herein as Exhibit "A."
SECTION 4. Custodian of Records. The documents and materials that constitute the
record of proceedings on which these findings are based are located at the City's office at
73510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260. Richard D. Cannone, AICP, the Secretary
to the Palm Desert Planning Commission, is the custodian of the record of proceedings.
SECTION 5. Execution of Resolution. The Chairperson of the Planning Commission
signs this Resolution, and the Secretary to the Commission shall attest and certify the
passage and adoption thereof.
SECTION 6. Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the foregoing
recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this
Resolution.
