A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING FINDINGS AND GRANTING A VARIANCE
TO ALLOW A RELAXATION OF OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN
ORDER TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION ON LOTS 21 & 29 OF THE PROTOTYPE
BLOCK TO CONFORM WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
AREA. CASE NO. VARIANCE 01-75.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.26 of the Palm Desert
Zoning Code, the Planning Commission did on March 17, 1975 hold a duly
noticed public hearing to consider the application of H. A. McCORMICK and
LARRY LACKS for a variance to allow for a reduction of 11 off-street parking
spaces for each of the following lots on property located in the C-P-S Zone
and situated at 73-880 El Paseo & 73-950 El Paseo and more particularly
described as:
Lot 21 & 29 of Block S,
Palm Desert Tract.
WHEREAS, the subject application is exempted or has been considered non-
significant with regard to the requirements of the "Palm Desert Environmental
Quality Procedure Resolution Number 74-14".
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testi-
mony and arguments, the Planning Commission did find that the following facts
and reasons to exist to justify the granting of said variance:
1. Special circumstances or conditions are applicable to the
property or intended use that do not apply generally to other properties in
the vicinity which are under identical zoning classification, SUCH AS: A
new parking ordinance which requires a proportionately larger amount of each
remaining lot to be devoted to off-street parking. However, utilization of
additional parking spaces (as per current Parking Ordinance) would be cancelled
out by the implementation of parking, circulation and landscaping plans which
are being developed for the Prototype Block.
2. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public health, safety, welfare or injurious to the property or improve-
ments in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
3. The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan.
4. The granting of this variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property in the same
vicinity and zones which would be denied to the property.
