A. Case No. TT 28658 and PP 97-17 - WESTWIND DEVELOPMENT, Applicant Request for approval of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, Tentative Tract Map to subdivide two existing parcels into six parcels, and a Precise Plan to build five condominium units each 1 ,550 square feet. Mr. Alvarez stated that the subject property consists of two parcels zoned R-3 multifamily residential located at the southeast corner of Abronia Trail and Sunset Lane. The two parcels totaled 16,700 square feet. Six parcels would be created by the tract map and parcel numbers one through five would be 2,100 square foot lotts, each having a 1 ,550 square foot condominium. Lot 6 would be a common lot containing landscaping and a common pool area. The five condominiums would be divided into two clusters. The first cluster would have two units fronting on Abronia Trail and the second cluster would have three units fronting on Sunset Lane. The 1 ,550 square foot condominiums would have building heights not exceeding 24 feet. Mr. Alvarez stated that the precise plan and tract map met all city standards. The 2 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 6, 1998 Architectural Review Commission granted preliminary approval subject to the submittal of a landscaping plan. Mr. Alvarez explained that the landscape plan was submitted on November 25, 1997. For purposes of CEQA, this project would not have a significant negative impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration was prepared. Staff recommended approval of the tentative tract and precise plan, subject to the conditions contained in the draft resolution. Commissioner Jonathan noted that the staff report indicated that the proposed driveways would be 18 or 20 feet wide and pointed out that in the Fire Marshal's conditions (specifically number 11 on page 8) required 24 foot wide driveways. He asked if that was a conflict. Mr. Alvarez suggested that it be amended to meet that requirement, although he was fairly certain that it should be 20 feet. Mr. Drell explained that the condition appeared to be for a circulation aisle in a parking lot since it didn't allow parallel parking, and carports and garages were allowed on one side only. He said that typically residential driveways were 16 feet wide. He recommended that the condition be amended by adding the words "or as approved by the Fire Marshal" and that would allow for some clarification or modification by the Fire Marshal. Commissioner Jonathan said he didn't have a problem with the 18 foot wide driveway he just saw a conflict within the conditions. He concurred with the amended language. Acting Chairperson Campbell opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to address the commission. MR. A.R. WOOLWORTH, Western Development, 44-817 Del Dios Court- in Indian Wells, addressed the commission and said he was present to answer any questions. There were no questions for the applicant. Acting Chairperson Campbell asked if anyone wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the proposed project. There was no one and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Fernandez said he was in favor of the project and felt it would be a great project. 3 MINUTES PALM DESERT PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 6, 1998 Commissioner Jonathan concurred with Commissioner Fernandez but asked for clarification by ARC. He noted that they have not yet approved the landscaping plan and it was scheduled for their January 16 meeting. Mr. Alvarez concurred. Commissioner Jonathan asked for confirmation that approval by the Planning Commission would be with the conditions as amended and subject to the approval of the landscape plan by ARC. Mr. Alvarez concurred. Acting Chairperson Campbell concurred with the other commissioners and was in favor of the project. She asked for a motion. Action: It was moved by Commissioner Fernandez, seconded by Commissioner Beaty, approving the findings as presented by staff. Motion carried 4-0. It was moved by Commissioner Fernandez, seconded by Commissioner Beaty, adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1845, approving TT 28658 and PP 97-17, subject to conditions as amended.

(Rancho Mirage Fire Station #1) Sincerely, James M. Wright Chief by Mike McConnell Coves Fire Marshal 3 INITIAL STUDY CASE NO. TT 28658, PP 97-17 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION CHECKLIST COMMENTS AND POSSIBLE MITIGATION MEASURES (CATEGORIES PERTAIN TO ATTACHED CHECKLIST) 1. EARTH a. The site is relatively flat and pre-graded. Grading will not result in any alterations to geologic substructures and will not create unstable earth conditions. b. As part of the normal grading activity soil will be moved, displaced, over- covered and compacted. This activity will be done per permit and approved grading plans to assure that the site is properly prepared for the structural developments which will take place on the site. C. The site is relatively flat and changes in topography and surface relief will be required to assure proper drainage and avoid increased runoff to adjoining properties. The after condition of the property will result in less water runoff from the property to adjoining properties and better direction. d. The site does not contain any unique geologic or physical features. e. The project as stated previously will result in less potential water damage to the site through proper grading, resulting in the appropriate directing of runoff from the site. MITIGATION MEASURES The City of Palm Desert grading and building permits procedures required detailed geotechnical reports addressing grading specifications and the settlement and expansive characteristics of on site soils. All structures must be designed to UBC requirements to insure that buildings are constructed within the acceptable level of risk set forth herein for the type of building and occupancies being developed. 2. AIR a. During construction, particularly grading, a potential dust problem is a short term impact. Requiring that the ground be moistened during days in which grading occurs, will mitigate this problem. This is required by City of Palm Desert Grading Ordinance. Because the site is already within an urbanized setting, its development will not result in an overall deterioration of ambient air quality. Completed development of the site will result in less dust leaving the site then currently occurs with the site's vacant condition. INITIAL STUDY CASE NO. TT 28658, PP 97-17 b. The proposed development does not call for any odorous land uses. C. Development of this site will not result in any climatic changes. This is due to its size and identified uses. 3. WATER a. Water will be redirected to drainage facilities designed and constructed to accept the water from the site. b. The site will absorb less water due to ground coverage, however, the landscaped areas will absorb more water because of the plant material. The alterations in drainage patterns will result in a benefit to adjoining property as it is directed in a controlled manner. C. See b. d. There is no ground water present on the site. e. See d. f. While any development results in the use of water and therefore reduces the amount otherwise available for public water supplies; the Coachella Valley Water District assures that there is sufficient water supplies to accommodate this growth. In addition, the Coachella Valley Water District plans to construct additional water facilities in the Palm Desert area to accommodate current and future development. 4. PLANT LIFE a. The project when completed will introduce a diversity of species to the site. The plants that will be introduced to the site will, however are materials previously used in the desert. b. The site does not contain any unique, rare or endangered species of plant life. C. See (a) d. The project will introduce new plant species to the site, but material used will be those previously used in the desert and will be reviewed by the agricultural inspector of Riverside County to assure that the plants being used do not pose a hazard to agricultural production in the area. 5. ANIMAL LIFE 2 INITIAL STUDY CASE NO. TT 28658, PP 97-17 a-d. The site is surrounded by urbanized uses and any impact on animal life occurred previously. 6. NOISE Construction and subsequent operation of five condominiums will increase ambient noise level. This use is a similar use to adjacent properties and will not create and significant noise problems. MITIGATION MEASURES Strict adherence to construction hours and days will be required. 7. LIGHT AND GLARE a. The project will create new light and glare from outdoor lighting and the sun's reflection off of building materials. Any outdoor lighting will comply with the City's lighting ordinance to assure that light and glare is reduce to a level of insignificance. 8. LAND USE The project will not alter the present developed and proposed land use in the area. The planned land use for the area is identified as multi-family residential; the project is a permitted land use within the existing land use designation. 9. NATURAL RESOURCES a. The project will obviously use natural resources, but will not increase the rate of usage of these resources because the new building will be a modern energy efficient commercial building. b. All material resources used on the site are renewable. 10. RISK OF UPSET The site does not contain any substances that could result in explosion or escape of hazardous materials. 11. POPULATION a. The property is designated multi-family residential and its proposed use is consistent with the general plan. The project will not result in any changes to location, distribution, density, or growth rate of the city's population. 3 INITIAL STUDY CASE NO. TT 28658, PP 97-17 b. The project will not generate changes in the socio-economic characteristics of the area. 12. HOUSING a. The project will not change the housing picture in the community or region. This is based on the conclusions reached in items 13 and 14. Development of this type of use will create new housing in the city. 13. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION a. Trip generation for the proposed land use is consistent with general plan an existing streets have adequate capacity to handle this new traffic. b. There will be a demand for additional parking facilities which will be supplied by the project on site. C. Except for additional vehicular movements discussed above the project should not generate additional demands on existing transportation systems. In addition these systems have adequate capacity. d. No impact to circulation patterns. f. none. 14. PUBLIC SERVICE a-f. None. The property is presently vacant. A commitment to urban uses was made as the area surrounding the area has been developed, and the general plan and zoning maps designated the area for multi-family residential. Infrastructure improvements (i.e. streets, utilities) have been made and are adequate to serve the proposed development. The proposed land use would increase the economic productivity of the land in terms of land efficiency and greater economic return generated from these uses, versus the current state of the property. 16. UTILITIES All utilities have indicated an ability to serve the proposed development. 17. HUMAN HEALTH 4 INITIAL STUDY CASE NO. TT 28658, PP 97-17 The project will not create hazard to human health in the long or short term nor will it impact the level of community health. 18. AESTHETICS All building setbacks, heights and ordinance requirements will be met. Other two story buildings exist in the general vicinity and will not impact any scenic vista or views open to the public. The proposed development must be approved by the Palm Desert Architectural Commission. An aesthetically offensive site will not be created. 20. CULTURAL RESOURCES There has been no evidence of any archeological or historical significance of this site. In addition, state law requires that should any evidence be found during construction, construction must cease and the site cleared. 21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Because of the mitigation measures identified herein and required of the project, the proposal will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. 5 i RECEIVED DEC 2 2 1997 INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM COMMUNITY 6EVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CITY OF PALM DESERT TO: Department of Community Development/Planning Attention: Martin Alvarez FROM: Richard J.
