WHEREAS, the planning commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 7th day of June, 1983, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider a request by

WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City of

the project is a Class 1, Categorical Exemption.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said commission did find the
following facts and reasons to exist to justify the granting of said conditional use permit
and variance:
1. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives
of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is
located.
2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which
it will be operated and maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or general welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this title, except for approved variances or adjustments.
4. The proposed conditional use complies with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the city's adopted general plan.

inconsistent with the objectives of this ordinance that would result if the
variance is not granted.
6. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that
apply to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zone.
7. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation will deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same vicinity and zone.
8. The granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare of properties and improvements in the vicinity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the planning commission of the City of
