WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California adopted
Resolution 2024-077 on October 10, 2024, adopting the City of Palm Desert Standard
Details and Design Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, upon further review, inconsistencies in some of the standard details
have been identified that required clarification for accurate implementation; and
WHEREAS, the standards are not intended to be all inclusive and shall be used
as a design guide, thereby allowing exceptions to these standards to be considered by
the City Engineer on a case by case basis when deemed appropriate for a specific
application; and
WHEREAS, City staff will update this manual periodically as needed subject to
review by the Engineering, Development Services, and Public Works Departments to
ensure standards and guidelines remain current with industry standards, address best
practices, and consider improvements recommended by the development community and
other stakeholders; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on its

City of Palm Desert to recommend approval of updated City of Palm Desert Standard
Details and Design Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, The City, in its capacity as the Lead Agency for this project, finds that
the project is exempt from CEQA since the proposed Standard Guidelines do not alter
the physical environment and qualify for a CEQA exemption under Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) since there is no substantial evidence that there is any possibility that the
approval of these Standards will have a significant effect on the environment.
