CASE NOS. PP 84-33, VAR 84-4, and PMW 84-15 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 2nd day of October, 1984, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request of MONTEREY PARTNERSHIP for approval of a precise plan of design, variance to remove the requirement for a five foot setback, a parcel map waiver combining three lots and a negative declaration of environmental impact to allow construction of a 21,000 square foot professional office building located at the southeast corner of Fred Waring Drive and Monterey Avenue. 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 impact on the environment and a negative declaration has been prepared. 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 to exist to justify their actions: PRECISE PLAN: 1. The design of the proposed use complies with the requirements of the zoning ordinance, will be compatible with surrounding uses, and will not depreciate property values in the vicinity. VARIANCE: 1. The strict or literal interpretation of the 5' setback requirement on Monterey would result in unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the ordinance. 2. The existing 17' parkway is an exceptional circumstance and renders the additional 5' setback unnecessary. 3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the regulation would require the property owner to maintain 22 feet of landscaping whereby the code envisioned only 5 feet. 4. The granting of the variance will increase setbacks adjacent to residential uses and will not be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. PARCEL MAP: 1. The parcel map waiver lot line adjustments comply with all applicable zoning ordinance, general plan, and public improvement requirements. 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.
