A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING FINDINGS AND APPROVING A
VARIANCE FROM THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR A COMMERCIAL
BUILDING ADDITION LOCATED AT 73-680 HIGHWAY 111.
CASE NO. VAR 02-80
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California,
did on the 1st day of April, 1980, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
a request by CHALFONT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. for approval of a Variance to waive the
requirement of two additional parking spaces for a 750 square foot addition to a
commercial building on approximately .16 gross acres, within the C-1, S.P. (General
Commercial, Scenic Preservation Overlay) zone generally located on the north side
of Highway 111 (Palm Desert Drive) approximately 400 feet east of De Anza Way, more
particularly described as:
APN 627-154-09
WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City
of Palm Desert Environmental Quality Procedure Resolution No. 78-32", in that the
Director of Environmental Services has determined that the project is a Class 1,
Categorical Exemption, for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act,
and no further documentation is deemed necessary.
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testi-
mony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts to justify their actions, as
described below:
a. The strict enforcement of the commercial parking requirements would
result in practical difficulty inconsistent with the objectives of
the Zoning Ordinance;
b. There are exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to this
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the C-1,
General Commercial zone; and
c. The strict enforcement of the commercial parking requirements would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
property along Highway 111 in the C-1 zone.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Palm Desert, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the Commission in this case.
2. That the Planning Commission does hereby approve Variance 02-80 for
two parking spaces, subject to the conditions attached hereto.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Palm Desert
Planning Commission, held on this 1st day of April, 1980, by the following vote,
to wit:
AYES: Berkey, Kryder, Miller, Snyder
