CASE NO. PP 84-20
WHEREAS, the applicant filed a request with the Palm Desert Planning

persons as provided for in Section 65915 of the State Planning Act; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held before the Palm Desert Planning
Commission on September 18, 1984, and continued public hearing on October 2, 1984, to
consider said request;
WHEREAS, as a result of said hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the following
findings were made:
1. The project under consideration is not encompassed by Section 65915 in
that:
a. The proposal is part of an existing project;
b. The existing project is already receiving financial subsidy under a
federal housing program.
2. The city, as a result of the findings stated above, is not legally obligated to
provide any type of housing incentives per Section 65915 of the California

objectives without providing greater density benefits than and requested by
the State of California.
4. The Palm Desert City Council has repeatedly indicated its policy to
effectuate a housing program consistent with city goals and state law and
the granting of density bonuses beyond those requirements of state law is
inconsistent with that objective.

Palm Desert, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings
of the commission in this case.
