I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

II. BACKGROUND:
A. Property Description:
The vacant 19,988 (.45-acre site is located on the south side of Spyder
Circle and backs up to 35t Avenue. The property is zoned Service
Industrial (S.I.) and has a designation of Industrial Business Park (I-BP) in

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant proposes to build an 8,913 square foot automotive tire facility with
a second story storage mezzanine. The building is set back 20 feet from the
front property line and 25'-3" from the rear property line. The building is located
at a zero setback along the western property line and has a setback of 54 feet
from the eastern property line. The applicant has provided eighteen parking
spaces for the proposed project with the ability to park an additional six to eight
cars within the building.
A. Site Plan:
The proposed building has its access off of Spyder Circle and would not
have access to 35th Avenue. The building as designed has 1,488 square
feet of mezzanine storage area which can be discounted for the purposes
of calculating parking. Excluding the mezzanine the building generates
the need for eighteen parking spaces. The proposal provides for eighteen
exterior parking spaces and the ability to park an additional six to eight
cars inside the garage area.
B. Building Description:
The proposed tire facility is a 30 foot tall building within the City's S.I.
zone. The minimum front setback in the S.I. zone is 20 feet and the rear
yard setback when adjacent to or across the street from residentially
zoned property is 25 feet. In this case, the applicant has set back the
building 20 feet from the front property line and 263" from the rear
property line. The S.I. zone does not have a requirement for interior side
yard setbacks. The applicant has oriented the building at a zero setback
along the western property line with the parking and drive aisle to the
eastern side of the property leaving a setback of 54 feet.
The proposed building varies between 24 and 26 feet in height with a
metal clad tower element at the entryway measuring 32 feet. The S.I. zone
allows a maximum building height of 30 feet, but allows applicants to
request a height exception to the City Council for tower elements that can
add interest to the building.

C. Architecture:
The architecture of the proposed building is a modern design utilizing a
variety of different materials and textures. The Architectural Review
Commission (Commission) reviewed this project at its meeting of June 12,
2007. The Commission generally thought the building was well designed
and was well suited for the proposed use. The Commission gave
preliminary approval to the project by a 6-0-0-1 vote (Commissioner
Gregory absent).
IV. ANALYSIS:

The following is a table comparing the proposed project with the standards of the
S.I. zone.

B. Findings for Approval:
1. The proposed location of the project is in accordance with the
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district in
which the site is located.
The proposed fully contained and screened automotive tire facility
is within the Service Industrial zone and meets all development
standards. The proposed use is permitted under section 25.34.020
J of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.
2. The proposed location of the project and the conditions under
which it will be operated and maintained will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety or general welfare, or be materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed project is within an existing industrial park and will be
built to meet all Building & Safety Codes therefore, as conditioned
the project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
general welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. The proposed project will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this title.
The proposed automotive tire facility as conditioned meets all
development standards of the Service Industrial zone and will be
required to gain the approval of the Building and Safety
Department, Engineering and Fire Marshal's office prior to issuance

V. CONCLUSION:
This project has a tower element that falls within the provisions of 25.56.300 of
the municipal code, which allows tower elements that do not exceed 10% of the
total floor area of the building. In this case, staff feels that the tower element
lends itself to the building, enhances the architecture, and becomes a focal point
for the proposed end user of the building.
The proposed use of the building is consistent with the general plan and zoning
designation. This project meets the intent of the Service Industrial zone and
complies with all development standards (including the standards imposed on
tower elements). The building provides quality architecture and will be a positive
addition to the area.
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
For the purposes of CEQA, the Director of Community Development has
determined that the proposed precise plan is a Class 32 Infill Development,
Categorical Exemption, and no further review is necessary.

FROM: FRANKIE RIDDLE, DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PROGRAMS
SUBJECT: PP 07-04
DATE: APRIL 18, 2007
The submitted precise plan has been reviewed to determine the need for a bus
shelter/stop at the project location and inclusion of required trash/recycling enclosure(s)
for each project.
Bus Shelter: After reviewing the plans it has been determined that this project will not
be conditioned with a requirement for a bus shelter and turnout.
Trash Enclosures: The plan does appear to reflect trash enclosures; however, the
trash/recycling enclosure(s) must be consistent with Palm Desert Municipal Code
Chapter 8.12. Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services must review and sign-off on the
plans in relations to the placement and number of trash/recycling enclosures. Review of
the plans by Burrtec will ensure that vehicle circulation for its trucks is adequate to
service the complex and to ensure that a sufficient number of enclosures are provided
to meet the needs of the complex. The Applicant may contact Jennifer with Burrtec at
(760) 340-6445 regarding this issue.

Dear Mr. Stendell:
Subject: Precise Plan No. 07-04
This area lies on the sandy area in the northerly portion of Palm Desert and is considered safe
from regional stormwater flows except in rare instances.
This area is designated Zone C on Federal Flood Insurance rate maps, which are in effect at
this time by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA).
Drainage from this area is contributory to the Mid-Valley Stormwater Project. The city may
require mitigation measures to be incorporated into the development to prevent flooding of
the site or downstream properties. These measures may/shall include on-site retention of
water from the 100-year storm, dedication of right-of-way for regional flood control facilities
or other participation in the financing of regional flood control facilities.
Since the stormwater issues of this development are local drainage, the District does not need
to review drainage design further.
The District will furnish domestic water and sanitation service to this area in accordance with
the current regulations of this District. These regulations provide for the payment of certain
fees and charges by the subdivider and said fees and charges are subject to change.
TRUE CONSERVATION
USE WATER WISELY

The District requires detail, repair and lube auto shops and car washes to install an oil and
sand separator, including a sample box, sanitary tee and running trap with cleanout, prior to
any discharge to its sanitation facilities. The size of the oil and sand separator will be
determined and approved by the District. Installation of the oil and sand separator will be
inspected by the District.
Plans for grading, landscaping and irrigation systems shall be submitted to the District for
review. This review is for ensuring efficient water management.
If you have any questions,please call Scott Schedell, Stormwater Engineer, extension 2266.
Yours very truly,
Mark L. Johnson
