Residential Development Plan to allow a 2.4% reduction of required
common open space on approximately 80 acres within the PR-4 (Planned

southeast corner of Portola Ave. and Country Club Dr., more particularly
described as:

WHEREAS, said request has complied with the requirements of
the "City of Palm Desert Environmental Quality Procedure Resolution

that the activity is not a project for purposes of the California
Environmental Quality Act, and no further documentation is deemed
necessary.

the following facts to justify their actions, as described below:

time the Planning Commission approved a Residential
Development Plan (Case No. DP 06-79) for the subject
site;
b. The Commission is authorized by Section 25.24.080, of
the Municipal Code to approve a minor change in a
Development Plan which does not involve a reduction
of more than ten percent of the area shown as open
space, without need to hold further Public Hearings;
c. A minor change in the common open space, consisting
of a 2.4% reduction, for Case No. DP 06-79, is deemed
necessary to implement the design concept;
d. The public open space dedication by this development
is far in excess of the minimum area required;
e. Recreational/Open Space needs of the development
occupants will be compensated by the public open space
dedication;
f. The proposed project as amended generally conforms to
the intent and purpose of the PR Zone District;
g. The proposed project as amended is adequately suited
for the specific site and is compatible with existing
and proposed development in the area; and,

to the health, safety, and general welfare of the com-
munity.
