CASE NOS. GPA 03-83 AND C/Z 08-83
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 3rd day of January, 1984, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider a request by
MOHAMMED R. MAZAHERI for a general plan land use amendment from public facilities
to medium residential 5-7 d.u./acre and a change of zone from public/institutional to PR-
7 (Planned Residential, 7 d.u./acre) for 54.5 acres generally located east of Portola
Avenue between Ironwood Country Club and Living Desert Reserve, more particularly
described as: A portion of Northeast quarter, Section 32 Township J South, Range 6 East
S.B.M.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said planning commission did
find the following facts to justify their actions, as described below:
1. In that the subject property is adjacent to open space uses on three
sides and low density residential on the fourth, the proposal is
inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the Palm Desert General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. At the present time it is unclear whether flood hazards in the area
would allow residential development of the property without exposing
the future residents of this and adjacent properties to unacceptable
risks to health, welfare and property.
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 GPA 03-83 and C/Z 08-83 are hereby denied.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Palm Desert
Planning Commission, held on this 17th day of January, 1984, by the following vote, to
wit:
AYES: CRITES, DOWNS, ERWOOD, RICHARDS, WOOD
