A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by minute motion, refer this appeal back to Planning
Commission for reconsideration of the request.
B. BACKGROUND:
Tentative Map 27055 is a 296-lot single family subdivision (8,000 square foot
minimum lots) average 10,000 square feet on the north side of Gerald Ford Drive
midway between Monterey and Portola. The map was originally approved April 21 ,
1992.
Pursuant to the State Map Act and actions by the state legislature (SB 428 and AB
771 ) this tentative map has a potential life of ten years if time extensions are granted
by the city.
January 13, 2000 the appellant filed a timely request for the annual time extension
(4th one-year extension).
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CASE NO. TT 27055
FEBRUARY 24, 2000
Planning Commission took the position that this map should be brought back through
a full public hearing process because the approval of the map predates many of the
commission members' appointment to the commission.
Staff suggested that the matter be continued to allow staff to return with copies of
the map and a brief summary of the map. Commission by minute motion denied the
requested time extension on a 5-0 vote.
February 3, 2000 the applicant's representative filed this timely appeal.
C. ANALYSIS:
As noted above the map would create 296 single family lots. The zoning and general
plan of the property remains unchanged (i.e., PR-5, five units per acre) from that in
effect in 1992. The Map continues to be consistent with all zoning ordinance,
subdivision ordinance and general plan provisions.
The City Attorney advised that the city is not obligated to approve time extensions
on tentative maps. The city has discretion to approve or deny time extensions. Time
extensions can be turned down due to the time factor since the map was originally
approved.
Past history has been to grant time extensions to maps that are still in compliance
with the zoning and the general plan. This map will expire on its own under the State
Map Act if it has not been recorded by April 21 , 2002.
If, as a matter of policy, the city council wishes to establish a maximum time limit
for tentative maps, which is less than the State Map Act, then it can be
implemented.
Maps which expire or which are not extended can be ref iled and processed through
a public hearing at the Planning Commission.
D. CONCLUSION:
Staff took this matter to the Planning Commission as a routine time extension. We
did not provide commission with background information, map summary or copy of
the map.

VII. CONSENT CALENDAR
A. Case No. PMW 99-18 - SIXTH STREET PARTNERS I, LLC, Applicant
Request for approval of a parcel map waiver to merge into
adjacent property to the west previously vacated street right-of-
way at the north end of Desert Country Circle.
Action:
It was moved by Commissioner Beaty, seconded by Commissioner Campbell,
approving the Consent Calendar Item A, PMW 99-18, by minute motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
B. Case No. TT 27055 - MAINIERO, SMITH AND ASSOCIATES, Applicant
Request for approval of a fourth one-year time extension for a
296-lot single family subdivision north of Gerald Ford Drive, 700
feet east of Monterey and 680 feet west of Portola.
Commissioner Beaty noticed that this was a request for a fourth one-year time
extension. Mr. Smith stated that the tentative tract was still subject to all the
current policies and requirements, so it wasn't like they were gaining any
benefit by having the extension of time. He indicated that Mr. Mainiero was
in the audience if the commission wished to hear from him as to the reason for
the long delay and perhaps he could respond to that. Commissioner Beaty
stated that he just wanted to bring it to the commission's attention.
Chairperson Jonathan noted that at one point two one-year extensions were
the limit of what commission would approve and then that policy got dropped.
He agreed that at some point the commission should readdress the whole
request because what was right four or five years ago wasn't necessarily right
any more in light of whatever has happened since that time. Commissioner
Campbell asked how many one-year time extensions an applicant could have
if this was the fourth or if it was indefinite. Mr. Smith said it wasn't
indefinite. There was a maximum under the Map Act and this application was
still within the total length of time they could be approved for. Commissioner
Campbell asked how many years that was. Mr. Smith said there were certain
2
MINUTES
PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1, 2000
provisions in state law back in 1994, 1995 and 1996 that basically gave them
those years free. On this tract in particular, he couldn't tell the commission
how long it was good for, but it was subject to the terms of the Map Act.
Chairperson Jonathan asked what the consequences would be of denial. He
asked if the applicant had a right to appeal. Mr. Smith said the applicant had
the right to appeal. Assuming the appeal was not granted, they would have
the right to file the same map over again. Commissioner Campbell asked if the
commission could ask Mr. Mainiero why he needed another year extension.
Mr. Smith said yes.
MR. BOB MAINIERO of Mainiero, Smith & Associates, representing
American Realty Trust--the current owner of the property, informed
commission that the primary reason for the delay in moving forward had
been the economy. The marketplace. The owner was basically waiting
for a buyer to come along that would want to move forward with the
development. As mentioned by Mr. Smith, the Map Act provided for
seven years and he wasn't sure how that would be affected by the
extensions. He knew they were well within that.
Commissioner Beaty indicated that if the commission asked Mr. Mainiero to
bring it back to the commission, the paperwork was already done, and asked
if it would be a big hardship. He noted that the commission probably had at
least three members who had never seen the project. Commissioner Campbell
suggested allowing the extension this time, but if it came back for a fifth
request, then they would look at it again. Commissioner Beaty said he just
wanted to raise the issue of the four years. Commissioner Campbell said that
was fine with her. Chairperson Jonathan agreed with Commissioner Beaty and
said he didn't see granting a fourth one-year time extension. Not that he
would be opposed to the project necessarily, but after four or five years it was
time to look at it again before it became reality. He said it was an excellent
point that some members of the commission hadn't even seen it and others
might not recall the details, so an opportunity to look at it again to see if it
was still right for the area he felt was reasonable. In his opinion he didn't feel
it was an onerous burden to ask the applicant to resubmit. Mr. Smith
suggested that the commission continue the case for two weeks and staff
would come back with copies of the map for the commissioners that hadn't
seen it and if they have some concerns with it at that point, then the
commission could not approve it and if there were no concerns, the
commission could just grant the one-year extension. Chairperson Jonathan
said he personally wasn't comfortable with that. If they were going to
3
MINUTES
PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1, 2000
consider it, it needed to go through the public hearing process again. They
didn't really know what was out there and he didn't want to pick on this one,
but almost as a precedent they needed to draw the line somewhere and say
enough is enough. When something was a little "stale" they needed to go
through the process again. Speaking personally, he would rather not go
through a reevaluation of the project without going through the public hearing
process. Commissioner Beaty stated that he would move to deny the request.
Action:
It was moved by Commissioner Beaty, seconded by Commissioner Finerty,
denying Consent Calendar Item B, Case No. TT 27055, by minute motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Anyone who challenges any hearing matter in court may be limited to raising
only those issues he or she or someone else raised at the public hearing
described herein, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning
Commission at, or prior to, the public hearing.
A. Case No. CUP 99-15 - COLUMBIA PAR CAR CORP., Applicant
(Continued from December 21 , 1999)
Request for approval of a conditional use permit to allow an
outdoor golf cart display located at 73-168 Highway 1 1 1 .
Chairperson Jonathan noted that the applicant was requesting an extension.
Mr. Smith concurred and noted that commission had a copy of a letter that
was received. Essentially the applicant was at an Architectural Review
Commission meeting a week ago today and they decided to take some of the
suggestions from ARC to heart and as the letter indicated, they engaged an
architect and landscape architect to come up with some plans. They expected
to have them ready so they could be back at ARC next Tuesday, hence the
request for the continuance to February 15.
Chairperson Jonathan opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished
to address the commission in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the proposal. There
was no one. The public hearing was left open and Chairperson Jonathan
asked for a motion.

CASE NO. : (T 27055
REOUEST: • 296 lot single family subdivision and negative declaration of
environmental impact north of Gerald Ford Drive. 700 feet
east of Monterey Avenue and 680 feet west of Portola Avenue
APPLICANT: DAVID FREEDMAN & CO. c/o Maniero Smith & Associates
777 E. Tahouitz Way. Suite 301
Palm Springs. CA 92262
I. BACKGROUND:
A. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The 130 acre vacant site is zoned PR-5 and designated low density
residential 3-5 du/ac on the general plan. The western 40 acres
is designated as park and the director has determined a general
Plan amendment is not necessary since the r•edeve l anment agency has
purchased property east of the Portola/Gerald Ford intersection.
The site also has existing curb and gutter along Gerald Ford and
ascends/descends 100 feet from top to bottom of the blow sand
ridge that extends through the center of the valley.
B. ADJACENT ZONING/LAND USE:
North: R3A (2 du/ec) & M ( industrial ) (County)/Vacant.
South: PR-S/Vacant
East: PR-5/Vacant
West: PC-2/Vacant
II . DISCUSSION:
The project is designed so that the approximate 10.000 souare foot lots
will surround a 4.5 acre recreational area with a collector street that
runs through the Project. and provides access at two locations on Gerald
Ford. The eastern entrance is located at an existing median break on
Gerald Ford but not at the western entrance - which is acceptable to
the public works staff.

STAFF REPORT
CASE NO. TT 2/055
APRIL 21 . 1992
Because of the na
tural
ural slope on the site. large grade differentials
between lots are planned at selected points throughout the site but was;
accounted for by making the lower lot having a greater depth than the
higher lot.
A drainage lot is shown along the northern boundary of the site and at
staff's concern - the developer has agreed to incorporate this lot into
the rear yards of adjacent lots similar to the Vista Paseo project.
Because the project is retaining a 100 year storm on-site. the
developer hds stated that he will object to the Payment of drainage
fees - which only the city council can do - most appropriately at the
final map Stage. .
No house plans have been presented yet. The developer has indicated a
desire to construct some two story units. Any house plans will have to
meet development: standards for single family residential in PR zones.
in addition. the northeast corner of the site is within the noise
impact line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Homes within this line
will be required to meet appropriate decibel levels.
