PUBLIC HEARINGS 8.a CONSIDERATION TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND PRECISE PLAN FOR THE LIVING DESERT ZOO AND GARDENS EXPANSION PROJECT City staff announced conflicts of three Commissioners; Vice-Chair Holt and Commissioner Pradetto due to financial interest in real property, each owning property within 500 feet of subject property, and Commissioner Greenwood due to a financial interest in both a source of income and business entity as his firm is the Applicant for the project. Since Commissioners Holt, Pradetto, and Greenwood recused themselves from further discussion and voting, a quorum was no longer present to hear the item. The Political Reform Act provides a process to requalify commissioners in cases of disqualifying conflicts. City Attorney Verdugo noted pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 18705(b)(3), the requalification process applies when no alternative decision- making body is available. On August 15, 2024, the California Secretary of State conducted a randomized alphabet draw for election ballot order, which staff used to determine the order for Commissioners to draw straws. The Commissioner drawing the short straw would serve as the third member for this item. Commissioner Holt drew first, followed by Commissioner Greenwood, then Commissioner Pradetto. Commissioner Greenwood drew the short straw and took a seat on the dais. Vice-Chair Holt and Commissioner Pradetto left the Council Chamber. 6 Planning Commission Minutes September 3, 2024 3 Principal Planner Flores presented a PowerPoint and addressed questions from the Commissioners.

THE PROJECT INCLUDES TENANT IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING CLASSROOMS AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES WITHIN A 4,332 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING LOCATED AT 42580 CAROLINE COURT, SUITES “A” AND “C” AND ADOPTING A NOTICE OF EXEMPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA).” 2) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2883 entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REVOKING, IN ITS ENTIRETY, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 12-188 FOR THE OPERATION OF A CHURCH FACITY WITHIN AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 42620 CAROLINE COURT APN 634-260-028.” BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: The Providence Presbyterian Church has been operating for approximately 12 years (2012- 2024) at an existing building located at 42620 Caroline Court under Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 12-188 via resolution 2587, adopted by the Planning Commission on August 7, 2012 . Approval of CUP24-0006 will allow the Providence Presbyterian Church (Applicant) to operate at a new location within a 4,332-square-foot building at 42580 Caroline Court. The proposed church facility is in an existing multi-tenant office and industrial building. No façade or site modifications are proposed. The facility will generally operate six (6) days a week, closed on Saturdays, between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit 24-0006, the Applicant has volunteered to surrender CUP12-188 and cease all church operations at the current location at 42620 Caroline Court. Planning staff has determined the proposed church complies with the intent an d objectives of all applicable zoning requirements and is compatible with surrounding land uses. 11 City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission Case No. CUP24-0006 - Providence Presbyterian Church Page 2 of 5 Project Summary A. Property Description: The project site is an existing 4,332-square-foot office/industrial building located at 42580 Caroline Court. The site is improved with parking, landscaping, and utilities. B. Existing Adjacent Uses, General Plan and Zoning: Table 1 – Adjacent Land Use and Designations Existing Uses General Plan Zoning Project Site Existing Office/Industrial Building Employment Center Service Industrial (S-I) North Light Industrial Business Parks Employment Center S-I South Existing Parking Lot Employment Center S-I East Existing Office/Industrial Building Employment Center S-I West Vacant land Employment Center S-I C. Project Description: Providence Presbyterian Church is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to establish a 4,332 square-foot place of worship within an existing office-industrial suite. The church is proposed in a building located near the northeasterly portion of the site. Approximately 2,090 square feet of the church space will be dedicated to the assembly area. The remaining floor space will be used for ancillary offices, restrooms, and common areas. The project does not propose additions to the existing building. No modifications are proposed to the existing project site. The building has access to sixty-seven (67) existing parking spaces located on the parcel. This building shares a parking lot with the tenants within the industrial business park center and will secure an agreement with the owners of the property to secure access and parking spaces to support the use. Exhibit 1: Proposed Floor Plan/Site Plan 12 City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission Case No. CUP24-0006 - Providence Presbyterian Church Page 3 of 5 No modifications are proposed to the existing building footprint, floor area or height. The project will require interior alterations to modify the existing building layout to accommodate the proposed assembly use (church) operations. Peak attendance will occur during morning assembly worship on Sunday mornings. The proposed assembly area contains folding seating for 147 persons. The Applicant’s Statement of Use which includes the hours of operation, and anticipated number of persons is provided as Exhibit B to the attached Resolution. Analysis Table 25.16-1: “Use Matrix for Commercial and Industrial Districts” under Section 25.16.030 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) lists permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited land uses for the SI zoning district. Religious institutions require a CUP in accordance with Section 25.72.050 of the PDMC. A. Land Use Compatibility The Conditional Use Permit process allows for special consideration of the proposed assembly use and associated activities and determining land use compatibility for a specific site. An assembly use is listed as a Conditional Permitted Use in the Service Industrial Zone. The proposed CUP will allow the Staff to condition the use to comply with the City's adopted land use policies and regulations for uses within the Service Industrial (SI) Zone. The neighboring uses in the project site are predominantly professional office uses with some light industrial and wholesale businesses. These existing businesses operate during daytime hours on weekdays. An existing church, Providence Presbyterian Church, has operated in a building adjacent to the site since 2012 without code compliance issues. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed use is compatible with the existing and future uses within the industrial park. B. Site Plan The property is presently developed and is adequate in size, shape, topography, location, and serviced by all necessary utilities to accommodate the proposed use. The u se will be located entirely within an existing building. No exterior alterations are proposed to the project site. The site has two access entry points from Caroline Court. C. Parking The proposed church will require 62 total parking spaces based on PDMC requirements. The PDMC requires parking for assembly uses at a rate of one space per three fixed seats within the main auditorium, thus requiring 49 spaces for the 147 fixed seats. The remaining floor area will require 12 spaces based on the following ratio. 13 City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission Case No. CUP24-0006 - Providence Presbyterian Church Page 4 of 5 Use Minimum Stalls Required Office 4 per 1,000 seats 2 Classes 1 per 3 seats 9 Break Room (Assembly) 1 per 3 seats 2 The center was approved with 67 total parking spaces; no additional parking will be required. The existing industrial business park is a mix of professional office, light industrial, and distribution businesses, which generally operate from 8:00 a.m. to between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. These businesses are typically closed on weekends. Peak attendance for the church will occur during late evening hours on weekdays and early mornings on weekends. Because the hours of operation are staggered, staff does not anticipate the church expansion will generate parking issues with neighboring businesses. The Providence Presbyterian Church is an existing place of worship located in the same center at 42620 Caroline Court. It operates under a similar schedule with minimal weekday hours and peak weekend usage. The proposed church will use parking on the site, which is presently underutilized during the proposed hours of operation. It is important to note that this industrial business park is set up to share a parking lot for all the businesses occupying the park. The park is managed by an owner’s association that oversees the day-to-day operations of the facility. Public Input Public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed project and published in The Desert Sun on September 20, 2024. To date, the Development Services Department has received no letters in opposition to or in favor of the proposed project. Environmental Review For the purposes of CEQA, the Director of Development Services has determined that the proposed project request is categorically exempt under Article 19 Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Class 1) of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project will involve establishing a new place of worship with no physical expansion of the existing building; the project site has been previously developed and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; the proposed project does not have a reasonable possibility for significant cumulative impacts upon the environment; and the site can adequately be served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, based on the above findings, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a finding that the proposed project is categorically exempt. Findings of Approval Findings can be made in support of the project and in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code. Findings in support of this project are contained in the draft Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 2882 and 2883, attached to this staff report. 14 City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission Case No. CUP24-0006 - Providence Presbyterian Church Page 5 of 5 Legal Review This report was reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) and the City of Palm Desert’s (“City’s”) Local CEQA Guidelines, the City is the Lead Agency for the Project; and WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City of Palm Desert Procedure for Implementation of the CEQA” Resolution No. 2024-35, in that the Director of Development Services has determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and that the project is categorically exempt under Article 19, Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Class 1) of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, at the said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to exist to justify the approval of said request: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, as follows: 17 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2882 2 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 Conditional Use Permit. As required by PDMC Section 25.72.050(F), the Planning Commission makes the following findings to approve the granting of the CUP: 1. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. Assembly uses (“Churches”) are permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit within many zoning districts within the City. The proposed location is in the Service Industrial (“SI”) zone. Professional offices and industrial businesses are the predominant uses in the existing area and during the week, the Church will operate during similar office hours. The proposed location is based on the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The services conducted at the proposed site are compatible with the adjacent business hours and would have minimal impacts on parking. 2. That 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 assembly use (“Church”) complies with all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and all applicable building codes and will not be detrimental to general public health, safety, and welfare or materially injurious to the properties in the vicinity. Water, sanitation, public utilities, and services are constructed and readily available for the building. 3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this title, except for approved variances or adjustments. The project site is developed, and the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the PDMC Sections 25.16.00 and 25.72.050. During the week (Monday – Friday), the facility will operate with similar office hours. Peek attendance will occur on Sunday mornings when neighboring businesses are generally closed. The facility would not interfere with business operations or generate parking deficiencies. Conditions have been placed on the project to ensure that all the minimum requirements comply with Chapter 25.46 (Off-Street Parking Loading) provisions. 4. That the proposed conditional use complies with the goals, ob jectives, and policies of the City’s general plan. 18 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2882 3 The assembly use (“Church”) is compatible with other surrounding uses and as conditioned, meets the City’s goals, objectives, and policies of the general plan at the newly proposed 42580 Caroline Court location. Assembly uses like the Providence Presbyterian Church are conditionally allowed within the Service Industrial (“SI”) Zoning District. The Providence Presbyterian Church has operated at 42620 Caroline Court under Conditional Use Permit 12-188 for approximately 12 years (2012- 2024). The SI Zoning District is intended for a range of recreation, resource preservation, open space, and assembly uses, as well as religious institutions like the Providence Presbyterian Church. There is no record on file of the Providence Presbyterian Church ever impairing the interest and character of the SI Zoning District. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the Planning Commission in this case. 2. That the Planning Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit 24-006, subject to the conditions attached as Exhibit “A,” the project plans attached as Exhibit “B,” and the statement of operations attached as Exhibit “C.” SECTION 3. Project Approval. The Planning Commission hereby approves Case No. CUP24-0006. SECTION 4. Custodian of Records.

The City Council staff report packet with background, analysis, and attachments can be found at the link here: filestream.ashx (escribemeetings.com) The original life of the Precise Plan and Tentative Parcel Map was 24 months and is set to expire on October 13, 2024. Project Description: Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Section 26.20.140 Extensions of Time allows the Planning Commission to grant tentative maps an extension of time to file the final map. However, PDMC Section 25.60.100 allows the Planning Commission to grant Precise Plans a twelve-month extension of time. The currently proposed extension is the first proposed extension of time for the Precise Plan and Tentative Parcel map. Per PDMC 25.72.030(K)(2), a maximum one-year extension may be granted from the date of expiration of the precise plan by the Commission when extenuating circumstances can be clearly shown by the applicant. Additionally, per PDMC 25.72.030(K)(3) the Precise Plan would not be eligible for any future extension requests due to the adoption of the Multifamily Objective Design Standards that would impact the precise plan . Staff has made the applicant aware of this requirement. 41 City of Palm Desert – Planning Commission PP22-0003/TPM 38336 Extension No. 1 Page 2 of 2 The applicant has filed a timely request to extend the Precise Plan and Tentative Parcel Map for a twelve-month period.

Granting the request will extend the tentative map until October 13, 2025. Environment Assessment/Environmental Review: Pursuant to CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the project was found to be exempt from further environmental review per Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rul e exemption).
