A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
OF A CHANGE OF ZONE FROM PR-3 TO PR-5.
CASE NO. C/Z 84-6
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on the 5th day of June, 1984, hold a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the request of WATT INDUSTRIES/PALM SPRINGS INC. for approval of
a change of zone from PR-3 (planned residential, maximum 3 dwelling units per
acre) to PR-5 (planned residential, maximum 5 units per acre) for 38.6 acres
located on the north side of Mesa View Drive, east of Alamo Drive, more
particularly described as:
TRACTS 13581, 13581-1, and 13581-2
WHEREAS, said application 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 a negative declaration has been
prepared.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony 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:
1. The proposed PR-5 (planned residential, maximum 5 dwelling units per
acre) is in compliance with the general plan land use element, which
indicates the property as low density residential 3 to 5 dwelling units
per acre.
2. The proposed zoning of PR-5 is the same as existing zoning to the west
and less intense than the existing zoning (PR-7) to the south.
3. The project proposed to be constructed, if this change of zone is
approved, shows that the site can be developed in a manner which is
acceptable to the city without significant negative affects on
adjoining properties.
4. The undeveloped nature of the site tends to provide an eyesore in the
vicinity and the unimproved adjacent streets impede proper and safe
traffic circulation. The rezoning to PR-5 will allow a project which
will improve the aesthetics in the neighborhood, improve traffic
circulation and safety, and not depreciate property values or
detrimentally affect the health, safety, or welfare of persons in the
vicinity.
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 these cases;
2. That the planning commission does hereby recommend to the city
council approval of a change of zone from PR-3 to PR-5, as shown on
attached Exhibit "A."
3. That a negative declaration of environmental impact is hereby
recommended for approval.
