A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA,
ANNOUNCING FINDINGS AND DENYING A VARIANCE
FROM MAXIMUM SIGNAGE FOR A BUILDING LOCATED
AT 72-205 HIGHWAY 111.
CASE NO. VAR 02-82
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did
hold a duly noticed public hearing on the 6th day of July, 1982, to consider the application
of PALM DESERT MEDICAL CENTER for approval of a variance from maximum signage
allotments for two signs located on a building at 72-205 Highway 111, more particularly
described as:
APN 629-740-003
WHEREAS, said applicant has complied with the requirements of the "City of Palm
Desert Procedure for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Resolution No. 80-89", in that the Director of Environmental Services has determined that
the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and is a Class 1
Categorical Exemption.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, the Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to exist to
justify the denial of said variance:
1. There are no practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hardships
inconsistent with the objectives of this Ordinance that would result if the
variance is not granted, in that variances are restricted to physical
hardships befalling landowners due to size, shape or topography of the
property and not to self-imposed hardships imposed by landlords.
2. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that
apply to the building that do not apply generally to other buildings in the
same zone in that the building is not setback a considerable distance from
the Highway and there are no obstructions to impair visibility.
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation will not deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners
of other properties in the same vicinity and zone, in that other signs erected
under City regulations comply with maximum signage allotments.
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;
2. That the Planning Commission does hereby deny Variance 02-82.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Palm Desert
Planning Commission, held on this 6th day of July, 1982, by the following vote, to wit:
