WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City of
Palm Desert Procedures to Implement 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 adverse impact on the environment and a negative
declaration has been prepared.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said planning commission did find
the following facts and reasons as justified in the staff report for TT 19503 dated
September 6, 1983, on file in the department of environmental services, to exist to
approve the tentative tract map:
1. As conditioned, the proposed map, its design, improvements, type of
development and density are consistent with the State Subdivision
Map Act, Palm Desert Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances, General Plan
and the West Hills Specific Plan.

environmental damage, injure fish or wildlife or result in public
health problems. Only 5% of the hillside area will be

WHEREAS, in the review of this tentative tract map the planning commission has
considered the effect of the contemplated action on the housing needs of the region for
purposes of balancing these needs against the public service needs of the residents of the
City of Palm Desert and its environs, with available fiscal and environmental resources.
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
