A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING
FINDINGS RELATIVE TO A CLARIFICATION OF THE
PALM DESERT ZONING ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE
OPERATION OF RESTAURANTS IN THE MULTI -FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL (R-3) ZONE.
CASE NO. ZOC-05-76.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm
Desert did receive a written statement from GEORGE RITTER requesting
a clarification by said Commission on appropriate provisions of the
Palm Desert Zoning Ordinance relating to the location of a restaurant
in association with a hotel in the Multi -Family Residential Zone;
and,
WHEREAS, on August 17, 1976, the Planning Commission of
the City of Palm Desert did consider this request for clarification,
along with testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons who de-
sired to be heard; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission did find the following to justify
its decision:
1. The zone already permits limited commercial uses
directly related to private recreational facilities such as country
clubs, tennis and swim clubs, and golf courses.
2. Requiring a CUP will permit the mitigation and care-
ful regulation of any such activities.
3. By requiring restaurants in association with hotel
facilities, the emphasis of design can still be focused on the
residential element.
4. A restaurant -hotel combination provides for a bene-
ficial relationship that allows tourists to walk to a restaurant
instead of being forced to drive.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission
of the City of Palm Desert as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Commission in this case.
-1-
RESOLUTION NO. 167
2. That a restaurant facility shall be a conditional
use in the Multi -Family Residential District (R-3), provided
that said use is operated in conjunction with and incidental to
a hotel facility.
