2. CASE NO: MISC 09-57

Avenue, Palm Desert, CA 92260
NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Final approval of
an RV permit to park utility trailer in driveway.
LOCATION: 44-829 Cabrillo Avenue
ZONE: R-1
Mr. Swartz presented the project and stated that the code allows for
a utility trailer to be parked in the driveway if there is no room on
the side, rear or in the garage as in this case. He presented photos
of the location of the trailer. As seen in the photos, the trailer is
screened by a hedge and cannot be seen unless you are directly in
front of the home, and coming from the other direction the courtyard
screens it. This is consistent with other RVs and boats in the
neighborhood. Commission discussed landscaping measures and
recommended that the hedge remain the same depth and height as

it is currently. The Commission and Mr. Hart Ponder, Code
Manager discussed his concerns with approving it as a trailer and
not as a RV. Commissioner Vuksic felt that it was important to
know that there was screening elements on both sides of the trailer;
a courtyard and a hedge. He stated that it was pretty hard to notice
it as you were driving by.
ACTION:
It was moved by Commissioner Vuksic and seconded by Commissioner
Lambell to grant approval for utility trailer only, subject to hedge remaining
the same depth and height as it is currently. Motion carried 6-0.
