CITY OF PALM DESERT
PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024
PREPARED BY: Nick Melloni, AICP, Principal Planner
REQUEST: REVIEW OF FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY OF PALM DESERT
GENERAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2867 entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AND EACH OF THE
PROJECTS INCORPORATED THEREIN, ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PALM DESERT
GENERAL PLAN AND A FINDING THAT THE ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM FURTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In accordance with California Government Code (“GC”) Section 65103(c) and GC 65401, the
City of Palm Desert Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”) must review the City of Palm
Desert’s (“City”) annual capital improvement program (“CIP”) for consistency with the General
Plan. To assist the Planning Commission in this effort, staff has evaluated each project for the
Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-2025 CIP against the relevant General Plan sections, goals, policies,
and objectives to demonstrate each project’s consistency with the General Plan.
The CIP schedules the funding and construction of public facilities, including infrastructure
construction and rehabilitation projects, and is a compone nt of the proposed City 2024-2025
Budget. The CIP fulfills state law requirements to prepare a coordinated program of proposed
public works capital projects for ensuing fiscal years for the City’s budget cycle.
In addition, GC Section 65402 requires that no real property be acquired by dedication or
otherwise for street, square, park, or other public purposes, and that no real property be disposed
of, no street be vacated or abandoned, and no public building or structure be constructed or
authorized, if the General Plan applies thereto, until the location, purpose, and extent of such
acquisition or disposition, such street vacation or abandonment, or such public building or
structure, have been submitted to and reported upon by the Planning Commission as t o its
consistency with the General Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
California law requires that each city in the state adopt a general plan “for the physical
development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning
agency’s judgment bears relation to its planning” (Gov. Code § 65300). The General Plan is a
11
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Fiscal Year 2024-2025 - Capital Improvement Program General Plan Consistency
Page 2 of 4
long-range planning and policy document that guides future development within the City’s
boundaries, with an overall goal to guide land use planning decisions. Under state l aw,
subdivisions, development agreements, capital improvements, and many other land use actions
must be consistent with the adopted General Plan. The current Palm Desert General Plan was
approved by the Palm Desert City Council on November 10, 2016, by Resolution No. 2016-87.
Capital improvement planning is typically based upon a five -year term. The projects included in
the CIP have been selected and planned as part of the five -year CIP forecast. The CIP forecasts
the City’s capital planning efforts over a five-year cycle. Generally, the first two-years of the CIP
will become the capital budget for which project funding will be authorized. Because priorities
can change, the remaining three (3) years of the CIP serve as a guide for future capital
investments. It accounts for anticipated development and the current condition of the City’s
infrastructure.
While the City Council has not tasked the Planning Commission with review or approval of the
CIP or each project therein, state law requires a city’s “plann ing agency” (here, the Planning
Commission) to annually review the City’s CIP to ensure its consistency with the General Plan.
It is not the Planning Commission’s responsibility to evaluate the merits of the proposed CIP
projects (which is the City Council’s responsibility), and a Planning Commissioner’s vote in favor
of (or against) the recommended resolution does not express approval (or disapproval) of any
particular CIP project. The Planning Commission’s role is to evaluate whether CIP projects are
consistent with the City’s General Plan.
The FY 2024-2025 CIP Budget has recommended funding for thirteen (13) projects totaling
approximately $38,010,000. The projects being recommended for funding include projects for
the annual maintenance and repair of existing public facilities and/or infrastructure, and the
design and construction of new public facilities. The overall 5 -year CIP program is comprised of
thirty (30) projects and totals approximately $136,210,907, which includes a $21,831,563
carryover from the FY 2023-2024 CIP budget (Attachment #3). The CIP project and general plan
consistency table is provided below (Table 1). This table is also provided in Section 3 of the draft
resolution. A General Plan reference table is provided as Attachment #2 of this report.

Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission find the proposed FY 2024 -2025 CIP
consistent with the General Plan. As the local planning agency, in accordance with GC Section
65103(c), the Planning Commission must determine annually that the CIP is consistent with the
City’s General Plan. The Planning Commission could determine that all or part of the proposed
Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is inconsistent with the General Plan and/or offer recommendations for
any project listed; however, staff believes it has demonstrated how each project in the proposed
CIP is consistent with the General Plan. Final consideration of CIP project and d esign
modifications will be subject to City Council approval and further general plan consistency
findings
13
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Fiscal Year 2024-2025 - Capital Improvement Program General Plan Consistency
Page 4 of 4
The Planning Commission’s finding will be forwarded to the City Council as required by State
law. The final approval of the CIP and its component projects is subject to approval by the City
Council.
Environment Assessment/Environmental Review:
The finding of General Plan consistency for the CIP is exempt from environmental review
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines section 15061(b)(3)
because there is no possibility that making this finding may have a significant impact on the
environment. The CIP schedules the funding and construction of public facilities including
infrastructure construction, rehabilitation projects, and is a component of the proposed City
Budget and does not have the potential to cause a significant impact on the environment. No
physical changes in the environment contemplated by any of the component projects of the CIP
will occur until the required environmental analysis is conducted for said project. Further, the
action is not considered a project per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is an
administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environ ment.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this request for the state-mandated review of the proposed
FY 2024-2025 CIP to determine consistency with the City’s General Plan. The 2024 -2025 CIP
is included in the proposed FY 2024-2025 budget, which will be presented to the City Council
for consideration in June of this year.

SECTION 4. CEQA. The finding of General Plan consistency for the CIP is exempt
from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because there is no possibility that making this finding may
have a significant impact on the environment. The CIP schedules the funding and
construction of public facilities including infrastructure construction, rehabilitation projects,
and is a component of the proposed City Budget and does not have the potential to cause a
significant impact on the environment. No physical changes in the environment proposed by
any of the component projects of the CIP will occur until the required environmental analysis
is conducted for said project. Further, the action is not considered a project per CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct
or indirect physical changes in the environment.
SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word
of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any
court of competent jurisdiction or preempted by state legislation, such decision or legislation
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The Planning
Commission hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each and every
section, subsection, sentence clause or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional
without regard to any such decision or legislation.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Desert Housing Authority currently owns the Project Site, which was originally
acquired by the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency from Desert ARC in July 2011. The
Project Site is directly south of the Desert Arc campus, which is a 5.28 -acre property located at
the southeast corner of Sagewood Drive and Country Club Drive. The campus consists of
administrative offices, educational programs, vocational training, and employment opportunities
for persons with special needs.
In 2016, the Palm Desert Planning Commissio n adopted Resolution No. 2669, which approved
a Precise Plan and Conditional Use Permit 16 -102 to develop a 36-unit affordable apartment
community, with an 8,579-square-foot community building. That entitlement has since expired
and is of no effect whatsoever, as building permits were never obtained for the development.
The Project Site is identified in the City’s 6th Cycle General Plan Housing Element (Adopted per
City Council Resolution No. 2022-80) vacant land inventory sites table (Table III-47) as site “KK,”
which is intended to provide a potential of 36 affordable units on the site. Policy 1, Program 1.A
of the Housing Element states that the Housing Authority and City will work with Desert ARC
and an affordable housing developer to develop 36 affordable units on the site.
Architectural Review Commission
The Architectural Review Commission of the City of Palm Desert considered the proposed
project Design Review for the project architecture and landscaping, and took the following action
at its meeting on April 23, 2024:
Following discussion, MOTION BY CHAIR VUKSIC, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER
LATKOVIC CARRIED 5-0; (COMMISSIONERS COLVARD and MCINTOSH ABSENT) to
approve Case No. DR24-0001 as presented.
Property Description
a) Property Location/Description: The project site is an approximately 1.84-acre
rectangular-shaped parcel (“Project Site”) located on the south side of Country Club
Drive, generally east of Sagewood Drive. The Project Site is currently vacant and is highly
disturbed, due to rough grading that has occurred in the past. There are some existing
improvements on the site, which includes a private drive lane with curb and gutter
extending southwards to the vacant area of the site. The southern, eastern, and western
perimeters of the site are developed with existing block walls. Access to the Project Site
is provided by a drive-aisle across the Desert ARC campus parcel to the north (73255
Country Club Drive / APN 622-370-013), which takes access from Country Club Drive
and Sagewood Drive to the west.

Site Plan
The site plan (Figure 1 below) shows the architectural site plan of the project. The “L” shaped
building will be situated towards the center of the site. A landscaped open area will be provided
along the western side of the site. Parking areas will be loca ted near the east edge. Vehicle
access will be provided from the northern side by new easements across the Desert ARC
campus parcel. An emergency secondary access for the Fire Department is provided at the east
edge of the site, which is a Housing Authority property; the project is conditioned to secure
access easements at this portion of the site.
The primary drive will be gated, to secure the Desert ARC site as required for campus
operations. The proposed development will modify the site access to provi de gated access to
residents of the apartment development and is conditioned to make physical modifications to the
site to provide sufficient vehicle stacking and turnaround for access.

Architecture
The proposed project architecture is generally contemporary in nature, characterized by
rectangular massing with flat roofs and varying parapet rooflines. The exterior material palette
consists of stucco and horizontal faux wood veneer siding, which are finished with a neutral color
palette comprised of light tan and brown. The exterior elevations show several recessing and
projections of the building, which are shown in the renderings provided for the project under
Figure 2 of this report.

Roof Plan and Screening
The building will feature a flat roof, which shows varying parapet heights and tower elements.
The preliminary plans show that these tower elements are designed to be “four -sided” with the
roof overhang being applied to all four-sides of the towers. The rooftop mechanical equipment
is shown in groupings of four and will extend up to 2’-1” above the roof surface. Portions of the
roof will not feature a continuous roof parapet, which will potentially leave the roof top equipment
visible from adjacent properties at the southern and eastern edges of the roof. This item was
discussed during the ARC meeting and found to be acceptable; the ARC recommended, but did

not require, the inclusion of addition roof screening on the north elevation to fully obscure views
of the roof-top equipment.
Landscaping
The preliminary site plan provides details on the proposed landscape palette for open space and
parking lot areas. A hedge is provided along the southern property line to add additional
screening of the parking lot.
Landscape Palette
Sheet L-01 provides an overview of the live landscape materials proposed in the development,
which consist of desert appropriate trees and shrubs, succulents, and cacti.
Trees include:
Shoestring Acacia, Hong Kong Orchid Tree, Sonoran Palo Verde, Desert Willow, Drake Elm.
Shrubs include:
Bank Catclaw, Oo-la-la-bougainvillea, Red Bird of Paradise, etc.
Inorganic Ground Covers include California gold decomposed granite.

Analysis:
Development Standards
The zoning designation is Public Facility/Institution (P), which allows the development of multi -
family residential buildings that are “Government-supported, -funded and/or -operated only” as
a conditionally permitted use with the approval of a Precise Plan and Conditional Use Permit by
the Palm Desert Planning Commission in accordance with Palm Desert Municipal Code Section
32
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 7 of 14
(PDMC) 25.72.030. Development in the P zoning district is subject to development standards
provided under PDMC 25.22.030. Alternatively, the project may utilize the standards of the
Housing Overlay District, which allow development of uses permitted in the Planned Residential
(PR) or Mixed Residential (R-2) zoning district subject to “flexible” standards, which ensure
efficient site planned and neighborhood compatibility. Multi-family apartments are allowed in the
PR and R-2 zones, and therefore the use can operate on the subject site without being
Government-supported, -funded and/or -operated only. The development will be privately held
with units restricted by an affordable housing covenant with the City of Palm Desert.
The General Plan Housing Element requires that the site provide a potential of 36 -units. The
project will provide 40 units. The Public Facilities land use designation does not establish a
minimum or maximum density. The Planning Commission may grant approval for the 4 additional
units without further consideration of a Density Bonus.

under this maximum floor area ratio contemplated by the general plan. The building lot coverage
percentage is 25%, though there is no standard for lot coverage percentage.

On April 16, 2024, the Applicant held an in-person open house meeting at the Desert ARC
assembly building. All residents within 300’ of the project site, incl uding residents of the
Sagewood Community, were invited to attend. Several visitors of the open house voiced positive
comments for the project. One resident of the neighboring Sagewood Development expressed

concern for the night-time glare potential of the project. The project shall comply with the City’s
Outdoor Lighting Ordinance and as such, all exterior lighting sources are proposed to be directed
downwards and fully shielded to prevent glare on adjacent properties.
Environment Assessment/Environmental Review:
City staff has reviewed the Project in accordance with CEQA and has determined that the Project
is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to 15332 In -fill Development
Projects (“Class 32”). CEQA Guidelines §15332 states that a Cl ass 32 Categorical Exemption
is allowed when an in-fill development project meets criterion a) through e) of that section.
Additionally, CEQA Guidelines §15300.2 lists six exceptions that preclude project eligibility for a
Categorical Exemption.
The City of Palm Desert has evaluated the proposed ARC Village project with respect to
consistency with the requirements of these sections to confirm the Project’s eligibility for the
Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA.
In-Fill Development Exemption Criterion
The project is consistent with the criterion of §15332 as follows:
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.
According to the diagram shown as Figure 3.1 Land Use Designations of the City of Palm
Desert General Plan Land Use Element, the Project Site is designated Public
Facility/Institutional Uses. This designation generally allows a range of government
facilities and supportive uses, which may include residential land uses. The Project Site
is also identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element adopted for the 6th Cycle of
the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and certified by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on vacant land inventory
sites table (Table III-47) as site “KK”. This site is identified to provide a potential of 36
affordable units and supported Policy 1, Program 1.A of the City’s Housing Element.
The Project Site is located within the Public/Institutional (P) zoning district within the
Housing Overlay District (HOD). Development standards for the P zoning district are
codified under Palm Desert Municipal Code Chapter 25.22.030. Alternatively, the project
may utilize the standards of the Housing Overlay District, which allow development of
uses permitted in the Planned Residential (PR) or Mixed Residential (R-2) zoning district
subject to “flexible” standards which ensure efficient site planned and neig hborhood
compatibility. Multi-family apartments are allowed in the PR and R-2 zone and therefore
the use can operate on the subject site without being Government-supported, -funded
and/or -operated only. The proposed project will develop 1.84 -acre site into a forty (40)
unit multifamily residential building with 49 -onsite parking spaces and open space and
landscaping. The unit will be two stories tall and total approximately 39,453 square -feet
including an approximately 1,543-square-foot community lounge on the ground floor. The
units will be restricted for lower-income households for a 55-year term pursuant to a
housing agreement with the City of Palm Desert. Therefore, the project is consistent with
the Palm Desert General Plan and applicable zoning regula tions and meets criterion a.
34

Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 9 of 14
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five
(5) acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed development occurs within the municipal boundaries of the City of Pal m
Desert and located on a 1.84-acre parcel within a developed urban area. The Project Site
is surrounded by urban uses in all directions. Therefore, the proposed Project meets
criterion b.
c) The Project Site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The proposed Project is located within a highly developed area, and therefore lacks
habitat that is suitable for sensitive animal, or plant species. Additionally, the Project Site
is highly disturbed and has been rough graded in the past and supports minimal
vegetation and is surrounded by maintained landscape areas and block walls. This
vegetation does not provided habitat for sensitive species due to its small size and is not
contiguous with any areas that support existing native pla nt species. Therefore, the
proposed project meets criterion c.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise,
air quality, or water quality.
Traffic: An assessment of potential traffic impacts of the project was prepared by the
project applicant in the letter from Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers, dated March
13, 2024 (“Traffic Letter”). The traffic letter outlines the reasoning and conclusion that the
project traffic impacts are considered less-than significant and is “screened out” from
further level of service (LOS) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis in accordance
with the Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for the Palm Desert. A summary of findings
provided in the traffic letter is provided below:
• The proposed ARC Village Residential Project is forecast to generate 270 daily
trips, with 16 trips (4 inbound, 12 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 20
trips (13 inbound, 7 outbound) prod uced in the PM peak hour on a “typical”
weekday.
• According to the Screening Criteria in the City of Palm Desert Traffic Impact
Analysis Guidelines, traffic impact studies will be prepared for all new development
projects generating 100 or more peak hour tr ips based on the most recent edition
of the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE).
• As a result, based on the Project’s forecast peak hour trip generation potential,
which is less than 50 peak hour trips, the proposed project will not significantly
impact the surrounding transportation system and does not require the preparation
of a traffic impact analysis that includes LOS analyses.
• The proposed project, which consists of 40 low-rise multifamily dwelling units,
would screen out under the “Small Projects” criteria based on the “Multi Family
(low-rise) Housing projects less than or equal to 147 Dwelling Units” threshold.
35
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 10 of 14
As a result, the traffic impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can be presumed
to cause a less-than-significant impact.
Noise: The closest noise-sensitive land uses to the Project Site are residential uses which
adjoin the project site. According to the noise element of the Palm Desert General Plan,
the most predominant noise source in the City is motor vehicles. The City’s roadway
system includes a range of facilities including freeways, highways, arterials and local
streets and the nearest source of vehicle noise is Country Club Drive. The traffic
generated by the project is less-than significant, and therefore it is presumed that the
project contribution to roadway noise is less than significant. Additionally due to the
distance of the project from Country Club Drive exceeding 900 lineal feet, it is not
anticipated that the project will be impacted by roadway noise from Country Club Drive.
Operation of the project would not exceed the City’s traffic or operational stationary
source noise standards. Thus, the project would not result in a substantial permanent
increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project above existing levels without
the project and impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project would generate short-term noise during excavation, grading, and
construction. However, impacts would be temporary, and the project would be required
to comply with the construction time parameters established in the City’s Noise Ordinance
and hours of construction set by Palm Desert Municipal Code Chapter 9.24. Construction
of the project would not exceed the City’s construction noise standards. Thus, the project
would not result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in noise and impacts
would be less than significant.
Construction of the project has the potential to generate an increase in temporary or
periodic noise through the use of heavy-duty construction equipment and through vehicle
trips generated from construction workers traveling to and from the Project Site.
However, use of construction equipment equipped with industry standard nois e
minimization strategies and compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance would minimize
the potential for noise generation. Noise from construction of the project would not exceed
the City’s standards. Therefore, impacts related to construction noise would be less than
significant. Project operations would generate an increase in ambient noise from roadway
traffic and stationary noise. The project would not result in a substantial increase in
roadway traffic noise and would not exceed the significance thresholds. Stationary noise
sources would be designed in accordance with City standards and would not exceed the
allowable noise levels. As a result, operational noise impacts would be less than
significant.
As a result, the noise impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can be
presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact.
Air Quality: As noted in the General Plan Update University Neighborhood Specific Plan
Environmental Impact Report, page 4.3 -1, “Palm Desert is located in the Salton Sea Air
Basin (Basin) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the air
pollution control district principally responsible for comprehensive air pollution control in
36
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 11 of 14
the Basin.” Vehicle use, energy consumption, and associated air pollut ant emissions are
directly related to population growth. A project may be inconsistent with the 2016
SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) if it would generate population, housing,
or employment growth exceeding the forecasts for developing the AQMP.
The SCAQMD 2016 AQMP is based upon Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) growth forecasts in their Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), which in turn is based upon the City’s General Plan.
The subject parcel is designated for Public Facilities uses and the project is consistent
with the allowance for multi-family residential uses listed under the designation. Because
the proposed project is consistent with General Plan, the project will not conflict with or
obstruct the implementation of the AQMP. Therefore, the proposed project will have a
less than significant impact.
Construction of the project has the potential to create air quality impacts through the use
of heavy-duty construction equipment and through vehicle trips generated from
construction workers traveling to and from the Project Site. In addition, fugitive dust
emissions would result from grading and construction activities. However, use of typical
construction equipment (in terms of size and a ge/emission standards) and compliance
with standardized Rule 403a requirements and protocols (regarding dust control
measures such as watering twice daily and track out prevention measures), minimizes air
emissions to the extent warranted. As a result, pro ject-related air-quality construction
impacts would be less than significant.
As a result, the air quality impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can
be presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact.
Water Quality: The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prepared for this project
site has a variety of nonstructural and structural control best management practices
(BMPs) that will be implemented. These include the education of property owners,
business owners, and residents, activity restrictions, irrigation and landscape
management, and street sweeping. Also included are on -site signage and channel and
slope protection. Based on the water quality management plan prepared for this project,
the proposed management scheme will not impair any receiving waters. The project will
be designed to retain on-site for the one-hundred year storm.
The project will not violate applicable water quality standards, will not discharge waste
into the project drainage system, nor exceed any waste discharge requirements. The
project will not substantially degrade water quality, create, or contribute runoff water that
would exceed the capacity of any existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or
provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The proposed project is required
to comply with the requirements of PDMC 26.49.060 and is designed to retain the
stormwater from a one hundred-year, twenty-four-hour, duration storm on site. The
proposed project would not adversely affect underground aquifers, drainage patterns, or
surface water quality.
37
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 12 of 14
As a result, the water-quality impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project
can be presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact.
e) The site can be adequately served by a ll required utilities and public services.
The project would be located in an existing highly urban area served by existing public
utilities and services. A considerable increase in demand for services or utilities would not
be anticipated with the implementation of the proposed project since it is located on an
existing urban infill location. Thus, the project meets this criterion.
Exceptions to Categorical Exemption
Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 lists six exceptions that preclude project
eligibility for a Categorical Exemption. None of these exceptions apply to the project as outlined
below:
a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is
to be located--a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may
in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are
considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an
environmental resource of hazardous or critical conc ern where designated, precisely
mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies.
This exception applies to Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11. This exception does not apply to a
Class 32 exemption and therefore does not apply to the proposed project. Furthermore,
the Project Site is not located in a particularly sensitive environment and is located in an
urban infill location and is surrounded by existing urban uses.
b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the
cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time
is significant.
There is no substantial evidence on the record that the project would create a cumulative
impact. There is no evidence of a potential significant cumulative impact because
successive projects of the same type in the same place have not been approved and are
not currently proposed. As a result, there is no evidence of significant cumulative impacts
from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time. Therefore, this
exception does not apply to the project.
c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is
a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment
due to unusual circumstances.
No unusual circumstances exist for the proposed project, project site or immediate
vicinity. The project is proposing to develop a two -story 40-unit apartment community.
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and zoning
38
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
Case No. PP24-0001 / CUP24-0003 – ARC Village
Page 13 of 14
ordinance designation, and certified housing element. The Project is located in a
developed urban neighborhood and is directly surrounded by urban uses in all directions,
including existing multi-family housing. Therefore, no fair argument or substantial
evidence exists to suggest the project would create a significant impact, nor can it be
readily perceived that the project would create a significant impact. Therefore, this
exception does not apply to the proposed project.
d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may
result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings,
rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state
scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by
an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR.
The nearest designated scenic highway is Highway 74 located approximately two -and-
one-half (2.5) miles to the south of the Project Site. Due to the existing topography and
developed land use pattern, the Project Site is not clearly visible from Highway 74. The
project would have no impacts on an officially designated scenic highway. Therefore, this
exception does not apply to the project.
e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located
on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the
Government Code.
According to the Department of Toxic Substance Control’s database of hazardous waste
site, EnviroStor, neither the Project Site nor any properties in the vicinity have been
identified as a hazardous waste site. Thus, the Project Site has not been included on a
list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.
Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may
cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
The Project Site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state agencies,
nor has the Project Site been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register
of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources. Therefore, the project
would not significantly affect historic resources on the Project Site or in the vicinity.
Therefore, his exception does not apply to the project.
As outlined above, the project qualifies for a categorical exemption based on the Class 32
exemption, and none of the exceptions apply to the proposed project. Therefore, it can be found
that the project meets the qualifications of the Class 32 categorical exemption.
Findings of Approval:
Findings can be made in support of the project under the PDMC. Findings in support of this

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. Findings on Precise Plan. As required by Palm Desert Municipal Code
“PDMC” Section 25.72.030 (E), the Planning Commission makes the following findings to
approve the PP:
1. Consideration is given and restrictions are imposed to the extent necessary, given the
size and shape of the parcel and the present and proposed zoning and use of the
subject property and the surrounding property, to permit the same degree of
enjoyment of the subject property, but subject to the same degree of protection of
adjoining properties, as would be accorded in normal circumstances by the standard
restrictions imposed by Chapter 25.72.030. The project, as conditioned, meets all the
requirements of the underlying zoning and overlay designation and provides this
project the with same allowances that its surrounding properties would be governed
by.
2. The proposed precise plan is not found to substantially depreciate property values in
the vicinity nor would the plan unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of
property in the vicinity by the occupants thereof for lawful purposes or would endanger
the public peace, health, safety, or general welfare, as conditioned.
3. The Architectural Review Commission approved a design review on April 23, 2024.
SECTION 3. Findings on Conditional Use Permit. As required by PDMC Section
25.72.050(F), the Planning Commission makes the following findings to approve the CUP:
72
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2868
3
1. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this
title and the purpose of the district in which the site is located.
The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the
Palm Desert Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the Public/Institutional Zoning
District (P) and the Housing Overlay District (HOD). The purpose of the Public
Institutions (P) zoning district is to provide areas suitable for the development
of educational, religious, and non-profit facilities. The P zoning district permits
buildings up to two stories and allows residential uses supported by the
government. The site is owned by the Palm Desert Housing Authority and will be
sold to the applicant upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, the HOD
permits uses that area also allowed in the Planned Residential (PR) and Mixed
Residential (R-2) zoning districts which allow multi-family residential as a
conditionally permitted land use. The proposed multi-family residential use is
compatible with this intent with approval of a Conditional Use Permit
2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The location and conditions of the proposed multi-family residential poses no
detrimental effects to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor will it be materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project will be designed
to meet access, utilities, setbacks, lot coverage, building height, land use, and
parking requirements. The proposed location and development of this project at
this site will be monitored and cared for by an on-site manager. The proposed
project is located on a vacant infill site surrounded by residential land uses on three
sides and an existing institutional facility to the north. Project traffic generation is
not anticipated to create hazards or congestion. The proposal is setback from
adjacent properties buffered by landscape space and consistent with applicable
development standards so that it will not unreasonably interfere with the use and
enjoyment of existing or proposed development in the area. As designed, and as
conditioned, the project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare.
3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this title, except for approved variances or adjustments.
The proposed development conforms with legally adopted development standards
for the Public/Facilities zoning district and the Housing Overlay District. The project
provides a total of 49 off-street parking spaces which is less than the City’s l
requirements for parking, however per State Density bonus law (Government Code
Section 65915 et. sec.) this parking ratio must be approved.
4. The proposed conditional use complies with the goals, objectives, and policies of
the City’s General Plan
73
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2868

According to the diagram shown in Figure 3.1 Land Use Designations of the City
of Palm Desert General Plan Land Use Element, the Project Site is designated
Public Facility/Institutional Uses. This designation generally allows a range of
government facilities and supportive uses, which may include residential land
uses. The Project Site is also identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element
adopted for the 6th Cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
and certified by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (“HCD”) on vacant land inventory sites table (Table III-47) as site
“KK”. This site is identified to provide a potential of 36 affordable units and
supported Policy 1, Program 1.A of the City’s Housing Element. The Project Site
is located within the Public/Institutional (P) zoning district within the Housing
Overlay District (HOD). Development standards for the P zoning district are
codified under Palm Desert Municipal Code Chapter 25.22.030. Alternatively, the
project may utilize the standards of the Housing Overlay District, which allows the
development of uses permitted in the Planned Residential (PR) or Mixed
Residential (R-2) zoning district subject to “flexible” standards that ensure efficient
site planned and neighborhood compatibility. Multi-family apartments are allowed
in the PR and R-2 zone and therefore the use can operate on the subject site
without being Government-supported, -funded, and/or -operated only. The
proposed project will develop a 1.84-acre site into a forty (40) unit multifamily
residential building with 49-onsite parking spaces and open space and
landscaping. The unit will be two stories tall and total approximately 39,453 square
feet including an approximately 1,543-square-foot community lounge on the
ground floor. The units will be restricted to lower-income households for a 55-year
term pursuant to a housing agreement with the City of Palm Desert. The proposed
project is compatible with the development pattern within the surrounding area
which consists of transitions between commercial, single-family, and multi-family
uses. The proposed development is in keeping with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood and is not detrimental to the harmonious, orderly, and
attractive development contemplated by this title and the General Plan of the City.
The proposal is also consistent with the General Plan Housing Element which
identifies the site for development as affordable housing.
SECTION 4. CEQA. 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
State CEQA guidelines based on the substantial evidence of the record as presented in the
Project staff report. Additionally, the Project is not subject to any of the exceptions for
categorical exemptions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2:
a) This exception applies to Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11. This exception does not apply to
a Class 32 exemption and therefore does not apply to the proposed project.
Furthermore, the Project Site is not located in a particularly sensitive environment and
is located in an urban infill location and is surrounded by existing urban uses.
b) There is no substantial evidence on the record that the project would create a
cumulative impact. There is no evidence of a potential significant cumulative impact
because successive projects of the same type in the same place have not been
approved and are not currently proposed. As a result, there is no evidence of
74
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2868
5
significant cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same
place, over time. Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
c) No unusual circumstances exist for the proposed project, project site, or immediate
vicinity. The project is proposing to develop a two-story 40-unit apartment community.
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and zoning
ordinance designation, and certified housing element. The Project is located in a
developed urban neighborhood and is directly surrounded by urban uses in all
directions, including existing multi-family housing. Therefore, no fair argument or
substantial evidence exists to suggest the project would create a significant impact,
nor can it be readily perceived that the project would create a significant impact.
Therefore, this exception does not apply to the proposed project.
d) The nearest designated scenic highway is Highway 74 located approximately two -
and-one-half (2.5) miles to the south of the Project Site. Due to the existing
topography and developed land use pattern, the Project Site is not visible from
Highway 74. The project would have no impact on an officially designated scenic
highway. Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
e) According to the Department of Toxic Substance Control’s database of hazardous
waste sites, EnviroStor, neither the Project Site nor any properties in the vicinity have
been identified as hazardous waste sites. Thus, the Project Site has not been
included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government
Code Section 65962.5. Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
f) The project site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state
agencies, nor has the project site been determined to be eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources.
Therefore, the Project would not adversely affect historic resources on the Project
Site or in the vicinity.
SECTION 5. Project Approval. The Planning Commission hereby approves Case No.
PP24-0001, CUP24-0003 subject to the conditions of exhibit A of this resolution.
SECTION 6. 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 7. Execution of Resolution. The Chairperson of the Planning Commission
signs this Resolution, and the Secretary to the Commission shall attest and certify to the
passage and adoption thereof.

Notice of Exemption FORM “B”
The project is consistent with the criterion of §15332 as follows:
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.
According to the diagram shown as Figure 3.1 Land Use Designations of the City of Palm Desert General Plan
Land Use Element, the Project Site is designated Public Facility/Institutional Uses. This designation generally
allows a range of government facilities and supportive uses, which may include residential land uses. The
Project Site is also identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element adopted for the 6th Cycle of the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and certified by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (“HCD”) on vacant land inventory sites table (Table III-47) as site “KK”. This site is
identified to provide a potential of 36 affordable units and supported Polic y 1, Program 1.A of the City’s
Housing Element.
The Project Site is located within the Public/Institutional (P) zoning district within the Housing Overlay District
(HOD). Development standards for the P zoning district are codified under Palm Desert Munic ipal Code
Chapter 25.22.030. Alternatively, the project may utilize the standards of the Housing Overlay District, which
allow development of uses permitted in the Planned Residential (PR) or Mixed Residential (R-2) zoning district
subject to “flexible” standards which ensure efficient site planned and neighborhood compatibility. Multi -family
apartments are allowed in the PR and R-2 zone and therefore the use can operate on the subject site without
being Government-supported, -funded and/or -operated only. The proposed project will develop 1.84-acre site
into a forty (40) unit multifamily residential building with 49-onsite parking spaces and open space and
landscaping. The unit will be two stories tall and total approximately 39,453 square-feet including an
approximately 1,543-square-foot community lounge on the ground floor. The units will be restricted for lower -
income households for a 55-year term pursuant to a housing agreement with the City of Palm Desert. Therefore,
the project is consistent with the Palm Desert General Plan and applicable zoning regulations and meets
criterion a.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five (5) acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed development occurs within the municipal boundaries of the City of Palm Desert and located on a
1.84-acre parcel within a developed urban area. The Project Site is surrounded by urban uses in all directi ons.
Therefore, the proposed Project meets criterion b.
c) The Project Site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
The proposed Project is located within a highly developed area, and therefore lacks habitat that is suitable fo r
sensitive animal, or plant species. Additionally, the Project Site is highly disturbed and has been rough graded
in the past and supports minimal vegetation and is surrounded by maintained landscape areas and block walls.
This vegetation does not provided habitat for sensitive species due to its small size and is not contiguous with
any areas that support existing native plant species. Therefore, the proposed project meets criterion c.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water
quality.
Traffic: An assessment of potential traffic impacts of the project was prepared by the project applicant in the
letter from Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers, dated March 13, 2024 (“Traffic Let ter”). The traffic letter
outlines the reasoning and conclusion that the project traffic impacts are considered less-than significant and is
“screened out” from further level of service (LOS) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis in accordance
with the Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for the Palm Desert. A summary of findings provided in the traffic
letter is provided below:
The proposed ARC Village Residential Project is forecast to generate 270 daily trips, with 16 trips (4
inbound, 12 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 20 trips (13 inbound, 7 outbound) produced
in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday.
According to the Screening Criteria in the City of Palm Desert Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines,
traffic impact studies will be prepared for all new development projects generating 100 or mor e peak
hour trips based on the most recent edition of the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE).
As a result, based on the Project’s forecast peak hour trip generation potential, which is less than 50
peak hour trips, the proposed project will not significantly impact the surrounding transportation system
and does not require the preparation of a traffic impact analysis that includes LOS analyses.
The proposed project, which consists of 40 low-rise multifamily dwelling units, would screen out under
the “Small Projects” criteria based on the “Multi Family (low-rise) Housing projects less than or equal
92
Notice of Exemption FORM “B”
to 147 Dwelling Units” threshold.
As a result, the traffic impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Proje ct can be presumed to cause a less-
than-significant impact.
Noise: The closest noise-sensitive land uses to the Project Site are residential uses which adjoin the project site.
According to the noise element of the Palm Desert General Plan, the most predominant noise source in the City
is motor vehicles. The City’s roadway system includes a range of facilities including freeways, highways,
arterials and local streets and the nearest source of vehicle n oise is Country Club Drive. The traffic generated
by the project is less-than significant, and therefore it is presumed that the project contribution to roadway noise
is less than significant. Additionally due to the distance of the project from Country Cl ub Drive exceeding 900
lineal feet, it is not anticipated that the project will be impacted by roadway noise from Country Club Drive.
Operation of the project would not exceed the City’s traffic or operational stationary source noise standards.
Thus, the project would not result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of
the project above existing levels without the project and impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project would generate short-term noise during excavation, grading, and construction. However,
impacts would be temporary, and the project would be required to comply with the construction time parameters
established in the City’s Noise Ordinance and hours of construction set by Palm Desert Munic ipal Code Chapter
9.24. Construction of the project would not exceed the City’s construction noise standards. Thus, the project
would not result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in noise and impacts would be less than
significant.
Construction of the project has the potential to generate an increase in temporary or periodic noise through the
use of heavy-duty construction equipment and through vehicle trips generated from construction workers
traveling to and from the Project Site. However, use of construction equipment equipped with industry standard
noise minimization strategies and compliance with the City’s Noise Ordinance would minimize the potential for
noise generation. Noise from construction of the project would not exceed the City ’s standards. Therefore,
impacts related to construction noise would be less than significant. Project operations would generate an
increase in ambient noise from roadway traffic and stationary noise. The project would not result in a
substantial increase in roadway traffic noise and would not exceed the sign ificance thresholds. Stationary noise
sources would be designed in accordance with City standards and would not exceed the allowable noise levels.
As a result, operational noise impacts would be less than significant.
As a result, the noise impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can be presumed to cause a less -
than-significant impact.
Air Quality: As noted in the General Plan Update University Neighborhood Specific Plan Environmental Impact
Report, page 4.3-1, “Palm Desert is located in the Salton Sea Air Basin (Basin) and the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) is the air pollution control district principally responsible for comprehensive
air pollution control in the Basin.” Vehicle use, energy consumption, and associated air pollutant emissions are
directly related to population growth. A project may be inconsistent with the 201 6 SCAQMD Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP) if it would generate population, housing, or employment growth exceeding the
forecasts for developing the AQMP.
The SCAQMD 2016 AQMP is based upon Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) growth
forecasts in their Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), which in turn is
based upon the City’s General Plan. The subject parcel is designated for Public Facilities uses and the project is
consistent with the allowance for multi-family residential uses listed under the designation. Because the
proposed project is consistent with General Plan, the project will not conflict with or obstruct the
implementation of the AQMP. Therefore, the proposed project will have a less than s ignificant impact.
Construction of the project has the potential to create air quality impacts through the use of heavy-duty
construction equipment and through vehicle trips generated from construction workers traveling to and from the
Project Site. In addition, fugitive dust emissions would result from grading and construction activities. Ho wever,
use of typical construction equipment (in terms of size and age/emission standards) and compliance with
standardized Rule 403a requirements and protocols (regarding dust control measures such as watering twice
daily and track out prevention measures), minimizes air emissions to the extent warranted. As a result, project-
related air-quality construction impacts would be less than significant.
As a result, the air quality impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can be presumed to cause a
less-than-significant impact.
93
Notice of Exemption FORM “B”
Water Quality: The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prepared for this project site has a variety of
nonstructural and structural control best management practices (BMPs) that will be implemented. These include
the education of property owners, business owners, and residents, activity restrictions, irrigation and landscape
management, and street sweeping. Also included are on -site signage and channel and slope protection. Based on
the water quality management plan prepared for this project, the proposed management scheme will not impair
any receiving waters. The project will be designed to retain on-site for the one-hundred year storm.
The project will not violate applicable water quality standards, will not discharge w aste into the project
drainage system, nor exceed any waste discharge requirements. The project will not substantially degrade water
quality, create, or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of any existing or planned stormwater
drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. The proposed project is required
to comply with the requirements of PDMC 26.49.060 and is designed to retain the stormwater from a one
hundred-year, twenty-four-hour, duration storm on site. The proposed project would not adversely affect
underground aquifers, drainage patterns, or surface water quality.
As a result, the water-quality impacts of the proposed ARC Village Residential Project can be presumed to cause
a less-than-significant impact.
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The project would be located in an existing highly urban area served by existing public utilities and services. A
considerable increase in demand for services or utilities would not be anticipated with the implementation of the
proposed project since it is located on an existing urban infill location. Thus, the project meets this criterion.
Exceptions to Categorical Exemption
Additionally, CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 lists six exceptions that preclude project eligibility for a Categorical
Exemption. None of these exceptions apply to the project as outlined below:
(a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to b e located--a
project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive
environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the
project may 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 a gencies.
This exception applies to Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11. This exception does not apply to a Class 32 exemption and
therefore does not apply to the proposed project. Furthermore, the Project Site is not located in a particularly
sensitive environment and is located in an urban infill location and is surrounded by existing urban uses.
(b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of
successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.
There is no substantial evidence on the record that the project would create a cumulative impact. There is no
evidence of a potential significant cumulative impact because successive projects of the same type in the same
place have not been approved and are not currently proposed. As a result, there is no evidence of significant
cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time. Therefore, this
exception does not apply to the project.
(c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable
possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
No unusual circumstances exist for the proposed project, project site or immediate vicinity. The project is
proposing to develop a two-story 40-unit apartment community. The project is consistent with the General Plan
land use designation and zoning ordinance designation, and certified housing elemen t. The Project is located in
a developed urban neighborhood and is directly surrounded by urban uses in all directions, including existing
multi-family housing. Therefore, no fair argument or substantial evidence exists to suggest the project would
create a significant impact, nor can it be readily perceived that the project would create a significant im pact.
Therefore, this exception does not apply to the proposed project.
(d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to
scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources,
94
Notice of Exemption FORM “B”
within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are
required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR.
The nearest designated scenic highway is Highway 74 located approximately two-and-one-half (2.5) miles to the
south of the Project Site. Due to the existing topography and developed land use pattern, the Project Site is not
clearly visible from Highway 74. The project would have no impacts on an officially designated scenic highway.
Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
(e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is
included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
According to the Department of Toxic Substance Control’s database of hazardous waste site, EnviroStor, ne ither
the Project Site nor any properties in the vicinity have been identified as a hazardous waste site. Thus, the
Project Site has not been included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code
Section 65962.5. Therefore, this exception does not apply to the project.
(f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial
adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
The Project Site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state agencies, nor has the Project Site
been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of
Historical Resources. Therefore, the project would not significantly affect historic resources on the Project Site
or in the vicinity. Therefore, his exception does not apply to the project.

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. Findings on Precise Plan. In recommending approval of this Project, the
Planning Commission, and under Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Section 25.72.030(E),
the following findings are required before granting a PP:
1. The approval of this precise plan, consideration is given and restrictions are imposed
to the extent necessary, in view of the size and shape of the parcel and the present
and proposed zoning and use of the subject property and the surrounding property, to
permit the same degree of enjoyment of the subject property, but subject to the same
degree of protection of adjoining properties, as would be accorded in normal
circumstances by the standard restrictions imposed by Chapter 25.72.030. The
project, as conditioned, meets all of the requirements of the underlying zone and
provides this project the same allowances that its surrounding properties would be
governed by.
2. The proposed precise plan is not found to substantially depreciate property values in
the vicinity or would unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in
the vicinity by the occupants thereof for lawful purposes or would endanger the public
peace, health, safety, or general welfare, as conditioned.
SECTION 3. CEQA Determination. The Planning Commission finds the Project is
consistent with a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration, adopted for the Refuge

CHAPTER 4: DESIGN GUIDELINES
4.1 Overview
The Refuge is envisioned to be a cohesive residential community featuring right-sized recreation
and open space amenities integrated throughout the project. To accommodate a wide variety
of lifestyles, the Refuge allows for a range of lot sizes and housing types from conventionally
loaded single family detached homes to stacked flat multi-family living. The different product
types provide better livability through greater housing options and enhanced aesthetic interest
through diversity. The architecture and landscape should be designed to provide a thematic
character visually connecting the community.
The Specific Plan areas should be developed in a cohesive and integrated manner such that they
function as and are recognizable as a single destination. Structures, hardscape, and landscape
are all elements that should be considered in order to develop a pleasing and compatible visual
identity.
The Design Guidelines in this section are intended to serve as the guiding design principles for
future neighborhood development at the Refuge. These guidelines provide a flexible set of
fundamental principles that will assure an integrated, attractive, and high-quality living
environment, and are meant to promote development that is pedestrian-oriented,
interconnected, and visually engaging to residents. They are intended to ensure a high level of
design quality while providing the flexibility to accommodate changes in consumer preferences,
economic conditions, community designs, and the marketplace. As such, the use of “should”
equates to strongly encouraged and the use of “shall” means mandatory.
4.2 Design Guidelines
There are four planning areas within the Refuge Specific Plan that work together to offer a range
of housing types that cater to a variety of life stages and lifestyles. These guidelines are designed
to address all structure types within the four planning areas and shall be used as appropriate to
the focused housing typology.
Projects developed within the Specific Plan should incorporate elements of the City’s Sustainability
Plan to the greatest extent practical and utilize design strategies, building materials, and
construction methods that are compatible with the Palm Desert climate.
General Development Standards
• The Project shall be developed in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, except
as otherwise provided by the Refuge Specific Plan.
• All improvements constructed on the property shall conform to applicable building
ordinances and codes in effect at the time construction occurs.
281
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
35
• Where the provisions of this Specific Plan conflict with land use or building ordinances,
regulations, and/or codes, the provisions of this Specific Plan shall control.
Site Planning
• All built elements of the Specific Plan area should be developed in a cohesive and
integrated manner such that they function as and are recognizable as a single
destination. This includes consideration of structures, hardscape, and landscaping that
visually tie these elements together in an effective and pleasing manner.
• Building frontages shall be located at the front property line where no setback
requirement exists, or at the required setback. Where additional setback is necessary or
a prevailing setback exists, activate the area with landscape or common area features.
• Common open space shall be located at the ground level in a manner that is accessible
and visible to residential units, promoting safety and the use of outdoor areas.
• All primary residential structures shall be designed ensure that all street-fronting units
have a primary entrance facing the street or internal private circulation.
• Entries shall be designed according to simple and harmonious proportions in relationship
to the overall size and scale of the building. Design entries in proportion to the number
of units being accessed.
• All pedestrian entries shall incorporate shelter elements.
• All multi-story development of two stories or more shall mitigate negative shade/shadow
and privacy impacts by stepping back upper floors and avoiding direct views into
neighboring single-family yards as feasible.
• All proposed residential development within 50 feet of Planning Area 5 shall be no greater
than one-story, contained within 18 feet.
• Internal circulation should minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts to the greatest extent
possible. Structures should be linked to sidewalks or paseos.
• Structures within Planning Area 1 and Planning Area 2 shall incorporate methods to
screen line of sight from residential structures towards the Riverside County Sheriff’s
Station. Methods shall include window treatments which are integral to the window
construction, such as frosted windows; window films and/or spandrel glass shall be
prohibited. Landscaping may be used when permanently maintained.
• Where multi-family projects are adjacent to single-family zones, provide a sensitive
transition by maintaining a height compatible with adjacent buildings. Mitigate
negative shade/shadow and privacy impacts by stepping back upper floors and
avoiding direct views into neighboring single-family yards.
282
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
36
• All exterior façades of the building shall be treated with an equal level of detail,
articulation, and architectural rigor when visible from the public right-of-way or common
open space.
• Long expanses of walls or fences should incorporate openings, changes in materials,
texture, and/or landscaping. Fence materials such as chain link, wrought iron spears,
barbed wire, wood, and vinyl shall be prohibited.
Parking
• All single-family residential structures shall be provided a minimum of two covered
parking spaces located within an enclosed garage.
• All multi-family residential shall be provided a minimum of one covered parking spaces
located within an enclosed garage or carport.
• A minimum of 50% of all residential parking not located within a garage or carport is
recommended to be shaded by landscape shade trees.
• Detached and attached garages, carports, and accessory structures shall be
designed as integral parts of the project and consistent with the principal structures of
the project, and shall match in terms of scale, material, color, and roof form.
• Surface parking lots for multi-family developments shall be screened from public streets
by a minimum 42” masonry block wall, in combination with desert native landscaping
and/or berms. Trees, shrubbery, planter boxes, climbing plants, vines, green walls, or
berms can be used to soften views from the public right-of-way.
Circulation
• Entry roads and street access points to Planning Area 4 shall incorporate features such
as contrasting markings, signage, and/or lighting so that pedestrian crossings are visible
to moving vehicles during the day and at night.
• A continuous pedestrian circulation shall be provided to link all Planning Areas of the
Specific Plan with the central communal open space area.
• Use ornamental low-level lighting to highlight and provide security for pedestrian paths
and entrances. Ensure that all parking areas and pedestrian walkways are illuminated.
• Utilize adequate, uniform, and glare-free lighting, such as dark-sky compliant fixtures,
to avoid uneven light distribution, harsh shadows, and light spillage. All exterior lighting
shall be designed pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 24.16.
283
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
37
• Paseos shall be provided to facilitate pedestrian access to central community
amenities, and Planning Areas 4 and 5, such that pedestrians will not need to walk the
perimeter of a block to access said amenities.
• All paseos shall utilize pedestrian-level lighting, benches, landscaping, shade trees, or
special paving so that they are safe and visually interesting spaces.
• Entry roads shall be designed with a landscape parkway separating the curb from the
sidewalk
Streetscape Design
Attention to streetscape design enables the community to have a thoughtful aesthetic that
promotes character and visual interest. Streetscape design should include the following
considerations:
• Internal circulation should minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts to the greatest extent
possible.
• Where possible, front doors should be placed along streets, common drive aisles (not
including project entries) and common open spaces.
o When front doors are along access drives, special attention should be paid to
make these entries safe, pedestrian friendly, and attractive.
• Streetscene diversity should be encouraged by differing the styles, colors, and materials of
the homes.
• Wall planes on building façades should be varied to provide movement along the
building elevations for visual interest.
• Porches or covered entry spaces should be provided for stepped massing and transition
from public to private realm.
• Low courtyard walls or fences (36 to 40-inches in height) may also be used to transition
from public to private realm.
• Balconies, color blocking or other features are encouraged to minimize massing.
• In planning areas where single family detached homes are contemplated, streetscene
diversity should be enhanced by avoiding the placement of the same floorplan, with the
same elevation style and color scheme, adjacent to each other or across the street from
one another.
284

Architectural Principles
Architectural detailing of building facades is a key feature of quality design that can truly liven up
a streetscene. Paramount to this, however, is applying the right detail that is appropriate to the
architectural style. The following are suggested considerations:
• All building elements, such as materials and color, detail elements (porches, balconies,
courtyards, awnings, surface treatments, and materials), and functional elements
(lights, exterior stairs, guardrails, gutters, downspouts, screen walls, electrical
enclosures, or similar features) should be integral to the buildings design, consistent with
the architectural vernacular of the building, and complement the surrounding
neighborhood.
• The treatment of entries (doors, vestibules, porches or courtyards) should consider using
enhanced trim or details to emphasize these as primary focal points.
• Building design should be sensitive and responsive to the varying temperatures and
outdoor living opportunities of the Coachella Valley.
• All accessory structures should be compatible in design with the primary buildings, and
be visually related to the development.
Colors and Materials
The primary goal of color and materials palettes is to further enhance and define the architectural
styles within the Refuge. The composition of color and materials should be applied in a manner
that complements building massing and seeks to achieve a harmonious and visually interesting
community.
The plotting of elevations, color, and material palettes should be selected with the design
objectives of avoiding monotony, providing depth and interest through colorful design schemes,
and creating character and long-term value.
• Selected colors and materials should be appropriate to the styles they represent and
used to further differentiate from the other styles.
• Building façades should be designed to incorporate the use of
contrasting/complementary colors and materials.
• The predominant building colors should be chosen to create aesthetically pleasing
building elevations with other tones/colors used to accentuate architectural
elements/features.
• Finish materials should be appropriate in their use and application, be durable, and of
high quality.
285
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
39
• Materials, when included, should be appropriately used in relation to the building style,
scale, location, and function.
• Architectural screens and accessory structures should be compatible in material, color,
and texture to the main buildings.
Materials and Finishes
The use of complementary building materials can promote a harmonious appearance and
provide interest and variety to the selected architectural styles. The following material and finish
principles should be considered:
• Exterior materials shall consider compatibility with the desert environment.
• Use high-quality, durable, low-maintenance materials.
• Place lighter materials above materials of a heavier weight.
• Material finishes should express permanence and quality.
• Use style-appropriate concrete roof tile blends (where appropriate), overly dramatic
blends with extreme contrast are prohibited. Cool roof material should be considered.
Stucco
Stucco finish should project high quality and be appropriate to the architectural style.
• All stucco trim details (such as window surrounds, windowsills, roof eaves, column
details, lintels, etc.) must be constructed with a level of precision and accuracy to
express the authentic execution of the architectural style.
• Use clean, crisp and smooth stucco details.
• Carefully locate stucco control joints, if applicable, on elevation designs.
• Heavy Lace, Light Lace and Spanish Texture stucco finishes are prohibited
Wood
Wood is a material used in many architectural styles. However, maintenance concerns, a desire
for long-term architectural quality, and new high-quality manufactured alternative wood
materials make use of real wood material less desirable. Where “wood” is referred to in these
guidelines, it can also be interpreted as simulated wood trim with style-appropriate wood texture.
286
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN

Massing, Scale and Articulation
Building size should be considered during the design phase to determine appropriate massing,
scale and articulation.
Smaller homes stand to benefit from a simpler, streamlined architectural treatment characterized
by stacked massing, simple rooflines, and an acute attention to detail to maximize livable square
footage for the residents. Architecture that results in a simplified massing should pay special
attention to entries and front façade treatments to enhance the front elevation.
Larger structures should incorporate design methods that offer human scale to the building
massing as well as articulation to provide visual movement along the primary elevations.
• Architectural elements may be used to break up the massing and enhance the pedestrian
scale of the building including features that create shadow and relief, balconies, trellises,
recesses, overhangs, awnings, and porches.
• Multi-story living spaces are permitted per Table 3.2: Development Standards.
• When designing two-story homes, “recessed” second story elements are encouraged to
create human-scale buildings.
Roof Form
Roof form is an important design element that conveys the character of the community when
observed from both the external edges and the inside of the neighborhoods.
• Roof forms are encouraged to reinforce the architectural style of the home.
• Roof pitches are encouraged to vary based upon chosen architectural styles.
• Flat roofs are permitted where appropriate to the style and location.
Architectural Projections (for Multi-Story Structures)
As part of the overall composition of a two-story dwelling, balconies or projections provide relief
and interest at the second story. Additionally, these elements help shape outdoor rooms.
• Covered balconies and living area cantilevers are encouraged when appropriate to
the architectural style.
• Balconies and projections shall proportionally complement and be integrated into the
overall massing of the home.
• Architectural projections such as media niches are encouraged to facilitate massing
articulation.
287
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
41
• Opportunities for creating shaded areas and usable outdoor spaces are encouraged.
• Multi-story structures adjacent to the sheriff station or existing single family homes shall
include step backs to minimize visual intrusion into adjacent uses.
Garages
Where attached or detached garages are included, the intent is to tie them into the overall
project while reducing their visual emphasis. Garage appearance should complement the
architectural style of the homes they are accommodating. Some of the following methods may
be used to enhance garage facilities (not all have to be included):
• Provide different style door patterns (as appropriate to the architectural style).
• Provide different colors for garage doors (does not apply to multiple doors in one
building).
• Include window lites as a door design variation.
Carports
These structures should be compatible with the style, color and materials of the primary buildings
(this may include metal supports).
• Prefabricated carport structures are prohibited.
Windows
Window details differentiate architectural styles and can provide a high level of architectural
enrichment.
• The selection and proportion of the windows to the façade shall be responsive to the
architectural style of the building. Size and shape shall be considered to assure a
balanced relationship with the surrounding roof and walls.
• Divided lite windows are encouraged and should reflect the architectural style,
simulated divided-lite is acceptable.
• Non-street-facing and rear yard windows may delete the divided lites.
• Attention to window placement is imperative to encourage offsetting windows from
adjacent homes.
• Windows in Planning Area 1 and 2 which face the neighboring sheriff station shall
incorporate window screening which is integrated into the window construction to
288
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
42
preclude direct line of site from residential units. Use of films as a means of screening is
prohibited.
Shutters
All shutters shall be constructed of durable, climate appropriate materials and be consistent with
the architectural style of the structure.
• Use only wood or simulated wood material for shutters.
• Mount shutters on finished wall material; embedded shutters prohibited.
• Match shutter size to the recessed opening window width.
• Use material at least one-and-a-half-inch thick so as to provide substantial
dimensionality, avoiding a tacked-on appearance.
Lighting
Appropriate lighting is essential in creating an inviting evening atmosphere for the community.
• All lighting shall be non-obtrusive.
• Limit all exterior lighting to the minimum necessary for safety.
• Shield all exterior lighting to minimize glare and light spill onto adjacent properties.
• Use exterior entry lights that complement the architectural style.
• Refer to PDMC Section 24.16 for City’s outdoor lighting requirements.
Ornamental Details
Use details that appear as functional elements and match the architectural style.
Screening:
• Rooftop equipment such as air conditioning units, antennas and communication
equipment, mechanical equipment, and vents shall be fully screened from view by
use of a parapet or other architecturally compatible screening.
• Place utilities such as gas, electric, and water meters in side yard setbacks or in
landscaped areas and out of the line-of-sight from crosswalks or sidewalks to the
greatest extent feasible.
• Utilities such as power lines, transformers, and wireless facilities should be placed
underground or on rooftops when appropriately screened by a parapet.
289
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
43
• Any mechanical or electrical equipment should be buffered by planting materials in a
manner that contributes to the quality of the existing landscaping on the property and
the public streetscape.
• Trash enclosures shall be located so that they are not visible from the public right-of-
way or neighboring properties. Screen outdoor standalone trash enclosures using walls
consistent with the architectural character of the primary building(s) and locate them
so that they are out of the line-of-sight from public streets.
• Noise and odor-generating functions shall be located within enclosed structures so as
not to create a nuisance for building residents or adjacent neighbors.
Mechanical Equipment
Mechanical equipment includes but not limited to:
• HVAC equipment,
• Gas and electric meters,
• Cable/TV panels,
• Pool and spa equipment, and
• Exterior landscape/lighting equipment.
Trash Enclosures and Bins
Refuse and recyclable materials storage areas should be designed consistent with the City’s
Zoning Code. Enclosures should be provided to accommodate the numbers and types of trash
containers as required by the disposal company.
• Community enclosures should be positioned in a centrally convenient area for
residents but screened to the greatest extent possible.
• Trash enclosures areas that can be overlooked from above are suggested to
incorporate roof structures to screen the contents of the enclosure from view.
o Such roof structures should be designed to allow the doors of the refuse
container to fully open.
• To enhance safety, lighted person access is recommended at each enclosure.
• Individual bins for households should be screened to the greatest extent possible from
public view.

upper floors. Direct views into neighboring single-family yards shall be avoided.
• All Planning Area – Roof decks shall be prohibited in all areas.
• Planning Area 4 – Landscape shade trees shall be provided along the perimeter and
throughout the site. On street parking areas shall be provided with shade trees.
4.3 Landscape Design Guidelines
The Refuge includes a generous amount of open space to serve the residents. Each planning
area will feature a central amenity that includes both passive and active recreational
opportunities. The landscape buffer trail in Planning Area 3 will offer a walking path that both
contributes to the active amenities of the Refuge and serves as a buffer to the adjacent existing
neighborhoods.
The community character is further enhanced through landscape elements. Selective plantings
reinforce the scale of streetscapes, neighborhoods, and pedestrian spaces. Strategic locations of
trees and shrubs define community focal points and soften architectural massing. The landscape
design should incorporate the following concepts:
291
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
45
• Landscape treatments shall maximize the use of native desert and compatible
drought-tolerant plant materials. Species must comply with City and Coachella Valley
Water District water conservation ordinance requirements. Selecting drought tolerant,
native landscaping will limit irrigation needs and conserve water.
• Encourage the use of plants as a major design element including using contrasting
textures and mass planting of bold or fine plant material.
• Use of turf grass should be limited to functional play and active use areas.
• Use decorative gravel, decomposed granite, boulders, and similar materials as a
texture and design element; size material suitable to remain in place after installation.
• As feasible, landscape in or around retention basins to enhance their appearance.
• Front yards shall provide a minimum of two 24” box shade trees. This requirement may
be reduced to one on-site tree when combined with street trees permanently
maintained within landscape areas.
• Front yard areas shall provide for a minimum of 60% landscape areas consisting of live
plant materials, and a mixture of decomposed granite, cobble, or boulders.
• Front yard areas shall be limited to a maximum of 40% paved area for driveways.
• On corner lots, the driveway shall be oriented as far from the corner as possible.
Walls and Fences
Walls and fences should be an integral part of site design, especially in areas of public visibility.
Careful consideration shall be given to their placement so as to assure a natural transition
between land uses in addition to privacy, where needed. Walls and fencing should be consistent
with community visual theme.
Lighting
Preserve the nighttime dark sky by modulating the number, lumens, casting, and character of
exterior light sources. Utilize low intensity, direct and indirect light sources (as appropriate) to the
extent required for safety, functionality, and accentuation of landscape design.
• Refer to PDMC Section 24.16 for Outdoor Lighting Requirements.
• Light fixtures should complement the architecture and enhance the landscape.
Irrigation
Planting and irrigation design must meet Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) standards and
the State of California Model Efficient Water Ordinance (MELO).
292
REFUGE: SPECIFIC PLAN
46
• Landscape treatments should maximize the use of native desert and compatible
drought tolerant plant materials.
• Landscape plans must address wind and water erosion issues and demonstrate the
water efficiency gained from plant and irrigation systems.
• All areas not covered by structures, drives, parking or hardscape should be
appropriately landscaped.
• The use of turf should be limited to functional play and active use areas.

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REVOKING, IN ITS
ENTIRETY, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-0033 FOR THE OPERATINO OF
A CANNABIS BUSINESS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 73818 DINAH SHORE
DRIVE”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On July 17, 2018, the City of Palm Desert Planning Commission (Commission) adopted Planning
Commission Resolution No. 2730 (Reso 2730), which approved Conditional Use Permit 17-0033
(CUP 17-0033) to allow for the operation of a Cannabis Business at 73818 D inah Shore Drive
(APN: 694080007), conditioned upon a total of 25 conditions of approval that needed to be
adhered to. The approval also approved both a use and floor plan as presented on the
application’s statement of operations and site plan.
Department of Cannabis Control Licensing
The State of California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) is the state licensing and
regulatory agency for cannabis businesses. All cannabis operators must obtain a state license
after receiving local approvals to operate. In 2023, Thinc Cubed (“Permittee”) received the
following licenses:
- On January 24, 2023, DCC issued a Commercial Distributor license to the Permittee
(License No. C11-0001786-LIC), which allows an operator to move both cannabis and
cannabis products between cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution premises, move
finished cannabis goods to retail premises, provide storage services to other licensees,
and arrange for the testing of cannabis goods.
- On March 8, 2023, DCC issued a Manufacturer Type 7 license to the Permittee (License
No. CDPH-10004878), which allows for the use of volatile solvents for extraction or post -
extraction processing of cannabis extras, as well as the use of non -volatile solvents and
mechanical methods for extraction. A Manufacture r Type 7 license also allows for the
infusion, packaging, and labeling of cannabis product.

CUP17-0033
Page 2 of 5
On November 28, 2023, an explosion and fire damaged the building at 73818 Dinah Shore Drive.
This incident caused significant damage to the building’s structure and rendered both occupation
and operation of the building impossible. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.
The applicant recently submitted building plans for review However, o n January 24, 2024, the
Permittee’s Commercial Distributor license expired, without renewal from DCC, and on March
8, 2024, the Permittee’s Manufacturer Type 7 license expired, without renewal from DCC.
The Permittee did not submit applications to DCC to renew either of these licenses. On May 2,
2024, the City’s Department of Development Services was informed by DCC that both of
Permittee’s licenses had fully expired ; meaning they can no longer renew the existing license
and must submit a new application to DCC.

Finding 2: The Permittee has failed to comply with multiple conditions of approval
imposed by CUP 17-0033.
Findings of Fact:
The Permittee has violated three (3) conditions of approval of CUP 17 -033 per Reso 2730. This
includes Conditions of Approval numbers 6, 10, and 15. The following is a list of the conditions
of approval, and how the Permittee has failed to comply:
A. Condition No. 6: The cannabis manufacturing use of this property shall not commence
until the applicant can provide the City’s Department of Community Development with
proof of a license issued by the State Bureau of C annabis Control. Continued use of the
property for cannabis purposes is subject to the applicant maintaining a valid license from
the State Bureau and demonstrating ongoing compliance with the City’s cannabis
regulatory permit.
Violation 1: The Permittee has not maintained the required state licenses for operation of
the cannabis business, as required under PDMC 5.101.030(A). DCC has confirmed that
the Permittee’s Commercial Distributor license and Manufacturer Type 7 license have
both expired and are no longer eligible to be renewed.
Violation 2: The Permittee has not paid required cannabis taxes to the City of Palm Desert
for November 2023 (PDMC § 3.50.030).
Violation 3: The Permittee reported activity in February of 2024 in the Marijuana
Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance (Metrc) track and trace software, which is a
third-party vendor used by DCC, however the business was not in operation at this
location.
B. Condition No. 10: The applicant shall comply with all applicable provisions of the PDMC
Section 5.101 (Commercial Cannabis Regulatory Permits), 8.38 (Personal Use of
Cannabis), and 25.34.120 (Commercial Cannabis Business and Personal Cultivation).
Per PDMC 5.101.100, every permittee who surrenders, abandons, or quits t he permitted
premises after a certificate of occupancy is issued, or who closes the permitted premises
for a period exceeding sixty (60) consecutive calendar days after a certificate of
occupancy is used, shall, within sixty (60) calendar days after closin g, surrendering,
quitting, or abandoning the permitted premises, surrender the permit to the City Manager.
The DCC issued licenses (License No. C11-0001786-LIC and License No. CDPH-
10004878) were not renewed 61 days after the expiration. Additionally, the Permittee has
not operated at the building since November 28, 2023 but is reporting activity.
C. Condition No. 15: Operation of the cannabis business outside of these approvals and

provisions in the PDMC. Ongoing violations which are not remedied within a timeframe
297
City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission
CUP17-0033
Page 4 of 5
established by the Community Development Director may result in revocation of the CUP
and Cannabis Regulatory Permit.
The Permittee, having expired DCC issued licenses and not paying the City’s cannabis
taxes, violates the PDMC and the conditions of approval listed out in Reso 2730. CUP
17-0033 approval requires continued compliance with the conditions of approval from
Reso 2730, including maintaining active DCC licenses.
Finding 3: The Permittee has allowed the existence of or created a public nuisance in
violation of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.
Findings of Fact:
A. The November 28, 2023 explosion and fire at 73818 Dinah Shore Drive led to
significant damage to the building, that has yet to be repaired and cannot be occupied.
However, the Permittee has reported manufacturing activity in February 2024 under
the license assigned to this property which has been referred to DCC for investigation.
As a result, we deem it a public nuisance, as it poses a risk to the life, health, and
safety of the public in accordance with the PDMC.
Environment Assessment/Environmental Review:
The City of Palm Desert, in its capacity as the Lead Agency for this pro ject and pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), finds and determines that the action is

Per PDMC 5.101.100, every permittee who surrenders, abandons, or quits the permitted
premises after a certificate of occupancy is issued, or who closes the permitted premises for
a period exceeding sixty (60) consecutive calendar days after a certificate of occupancy is
used, shall, within sixty (60) calendar days after closing, surrendering, quitting, or abandoning
the permitted premises, surrender the permit to the City Manager. The DCC issued licenses
(License No. C11-0001786-LIC and License No. CDPH-10004878) were not renewed 61
days after the expiration. Additionally, the Permittee has not operated at the building since
November 28, 2023 but is reporting activity.
Condition No. 15: Operation of the cannabis business outside of these approvals and
conditions shall constitute a violation of the PDMC and shall be enforced pursuant to the
provisions in the PDMC. Ongoing violations which are not remedied within a timeframe
established by the Community Development Director may result in revocation of the CUP and
Cannabis Regulatory Permit.
The Permittee, having expired DCC issued licenses and not paying the City’s cannabis taxes,
violates the PDMC and the conditions of approval listed out in Reso 2730. CUP 17 -0033
approval requires continued compliance with the conditions of approval from Reso 2730,
including maintaining active DCC licenses.
Finding 3: The Permittee has allowed the existence of or created a public nuisance in
violation of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.
Findings of Fact:
303
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2870
4
The November 28, 2023 explosion and fire at 73818 Dinah Shore Drive led to significant
damage to the building, that has yet to be repaired and cannot be occupied. However, the
Permittee has reported manufacturing activity in February 2024 under the license assigned
to this property which has been referred to DCC for investigation. As a result, we deem it a
public nuisance, as it poses a risk to the life, health, and safety of the public in accordance
with the PDMC.
SECTION 4. Environmental Review. The action is categorically exempt from further
environmental review and the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 (Class 21 - Enforcement Actions by Regulatory
Agencies).
SECTION 5. Custodian of Records. The documents and materials that constitute the
record of proceedings on which these findings are based are located at City Hall 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 6. 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 7. Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the foregoing
recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this
Resolution.

Hi Lorena,
Thank you for your email. I am confirming that CDPH-10004878 has expired fully. The license expiration date is 3/8/2024; however, we give the licensees 30-days after expiration to pay their fees with a late fee
added. The final due date for the licensee to renew would have been 4/8; however, they did not pay to renew; therefore, their license has fully expired.
Thank you,

Good morning Janet and DCC Licensing Division,
It’s urgent to obtain a response from DCC Licensing Division if Thinc Cubed failed to renew their manufacturing CPH-10004878 (AM Type 7 - manufacturing volatile solvent extraction) license.
I was on METRC generating reports when I noticed Thinc Cubed was not displaying as an active license. Then I went onto DCC’s License Search, and it shows “expired.” The business owner had an explosion on
November 28, 2023, and he is going through the tenant improvement process. If the owner failed to renew, the City must proceed in a different direction since Thinc Cubed is not licensed as a state approved
cannabis operator.
Your immediate attention and assistance are greatly appreciated! Any questions, I can be reached at 760-776-6477 and email is lritchey@palmdesert.gov.
