did find the following facts and reasons, which are outlined in the staff report, exist to justify
approval of said request:
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 Conditional Use Permit. Under Palm Desert Municipal Code
(“PDMC”) Section 25.72.050(F), the Planning Commission must make all of the required findings
to approve a CUP. Based upon the whole of the administrative record, the Planning Commission
finds that the required findings can be made, as follows:
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.
Project Compliance: Yes. The subject property is located within the Downtown (D)
zoning district and the El Paseo Overlay District. The El Paseo Overlay is intended
to maintain and enhance El Paseo as a premier, pedestrian-oriented shopping and
dining destination that attracts both residents and visitors.
Although a bar use is not explicitly listed in the permitted use table for the district,
bars/lounges have previously been evaluated and approved through discretionary
review processes where they are found to be compatible with restaurant and
dining-oriented uses along El Paseo. Through Resolution 2838, the Planning
Commission determined that bars/lounges are similar in operational
characteristics to restaurants for zoning purposes, subject to discretionary review.
The project is proposed as a 1,900-square-foot interior bar/lounge within an
existing commercial tenant space. The project reuses an existing retail storefront
and maintains the pedestrian-oriented character of the El Paseo frontage. As
conditioned, the use supports evening activation of the district while remaining
consistent with the Overlay’s intent to create a vibrant, walkable commercial
corridor.
Therefore, the proposed conditional use is consistent with the objectives of the
Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district and overlay.
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.
Project Compliance: Yes. The project consists of a tenant improvement for a
1,900-square-foot interior bar use. No expansion of the building footprint or exterior
intensification of the site is proposed. The project qualifies as a Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) CEQA exemption.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2917

The Applicant’s Statement of Use indicates:
x Hours of operation from 2:00 PM to 2:00 AM daily
x A transition to music-based entertainment in the evening
x No dedicated dance floor
x A dress code after 8:00 PM
x A minimum of two licensed security personnel from 8:00 PM to 2:30 AM
x ID verification at both entrances
x Security cameras inside and outside the premises
Conditions of Approval require compliance with:
x ABC Type 48 licensing
x Prohibition of off-sale alcohol
x No outdoor alcohol consumption
x Security during designated hours
x Compliance with PDMC Noise Control (Chapter 9.24)
x Revocation provisions for noncompliance
El Paseo contains a mix of retail, restaurant, and commercial uses. The proposed
use is located within an established commercial corridor designed to
accommodate pedestrian-oriented commercial activity. As conditioned, the project
includes operational controls addressing security, noise, and responsible alcohol
service, and does not introduce outdoor amplification or patio service.
Accordingly, with the imposition of Conditions of Approval, the use will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor materially injurious to
surrounding properties.
3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this title, except for approved variances or adjustments.
Project Compliance: Yes. The project is a tenant improvement within an existing
commercial building and does not propose any modifications to setbacks, building
height, floor area, or parking configuration. No variances or development standard
adjustments are requested.
All signage will be reviewed separately for compliance with PDMC Chapter 25.56
pursuant to the Conditions of Approval.
The project remains fully contained within the approved interior tenant space and
will obtain all required permits and clearances from Building & Safety, Fire, and
Riverside County Health prior to operation.
Therefore, the project complies with all applicable provisions of the Palm Desert
Municipal Code.
4. The proposed conditional use complies with the goals, objectives, and policies of
the City’s General Plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2917

Project Compliance: Yes. The 2016 Palm Desert General Plan envisions Palm
Desert as a vibrant, walkable destination supported by a strong tourism and
hospitality economy and anchored by an active City Center and commercial
corridors.
The General Plan emphasizes supporting tourism and marketing Palm Desert as
a year-round destination, enhancing entertainment and cultural amenities,
strengthening walkable commercial districts, and creating vibrant centers of
activity throughout the community.
The following General Plan Land Use goals and policies reflect this vision:
Goal 1. Quality Spaces. A beautiful city with a balance of high-quality open spaces
and high-quality urban areas.
Policy 1.6. Community Amenities. Balance the impacts of new development,
density, and urbanization through the provision of a high-level of neighborhood
and community amenities and design features.
Goal 3. Neighborhoods. Neighborhoods that provide a variety of housing types,
densities, designs and mix of uses and services that support healthy and active
lifestyles.
Policy 3.14. Access to daily activities. Require development patterns such that the
majority of residents are within one-half mile walking distance to a variety of
neighborhood goods and services, such as supermarkets, restaurants, churches,
cafes, dry cleaners, laundromats, farmers markets, banks, hair care, pharmacies
and similar uses.
Goal 5. Centers. A variety of mixed use, urban centers throughout the city that
provide opportunities for shopping, recreation, commerce, employment and arts
and culture.
Policy 5.1 Downtown. Facilitate the development of the Downtown as a vibrant
active downtown that is the civic and cultural heart of the community.
The proposed project would operate within an existing commercial tenant space
along El Paseo and introduce a bar use that complements the surrounding mix of
retail, restaurant, and commercial uses. By activating an existing storefront and
drawing patrons to the district during evening hours, the project contributes to the
vitality of the City’s Downtown commercial corridor and supports the General
Plan’s goals for vibrant mixed-use centers, walkable districts, and tourism-serving
commercial activity.
As conditioned, the project includes operational safeguards addressing security,
noise, and responsible alcohol service to ensure compatibility with surrounding
businesses and the pedestrian environment.

Accordingly, the proposed conditional use is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the Palm Desert General Plan.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The application has complied with the requirements of the “2024
Local Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act for the City Palm
Desert” Resolution No. 2024-035, in that the Planning Commission finds that the Project is
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 Existing Facilities (“Class 1”).
City staff has reviewed the project in accordance with CEQA and recommends that
the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 Existing Facilities
(Class 1) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 applies to projects involving the operation,
repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or
private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving
negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The project does not expand the existing
building. The project is consistent with the Downtown land use designation for the site, as
well as the Downtown zoning designation. Pursuant to Section 15300.2 of the CEQA
Guidelines, a Class 1 exception may not be used if the project falls into any exceptions:
1. Location: The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption, which is not listed as one of
the classes under 15300.2 (A). The project is not located on a site where it may have
an adverse impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern
where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by
federal, state, or local agencies. The project site will not impact designated
environmental or biological resources as it is not located within a conservation area
as identified by the (MSHCP).
2. Cumulative Impact: The project will not have a cumulative impact on the environment.
The proposed use does not require any structural changes to the site, which would
result in increased square footage or a demand for more resources. The existing
parking available in the rear parking lot is sufficient, and no additional parking is
necessary.
3. Significant Effect: There are no unusual circumstances identified in relation to the
proposed use or project site which would result in a significant impact on the
environment. The project site is not located within a flood zone per the latest FEMA
Flood Zone Maps. The project site is not located within a High Fire Severity Zone as
shown in Figure 8.5 of the General Plan. The project site is not identified within an
Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone per the latest maps on file with the California Department of
Conservation.
4. Scenic Highways: The project site is not located within proximity of any officially
designated state Scenic Highway.
5. Hazardous Waste Site: The project site has not been identified as a hazardous waste
site per maps and databases provided by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC).
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2917

6. Historical Resources: The project site does not contain any structure or title that would
designate it as a historical resource. Therefore, the project will not cause a substantial
adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
SECTION 4. Project Approval. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP-25-
5003, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A and Statement of Use in Exhibit B
unless otherwise modified by Exhibit A.
SECTION 5. 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

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 to the
passage and adoption thereof.
