THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
A VARIANCE TO PERMIT A WALL FOR A SINGLE
FAMILY LOT IN THE R-1 10,000 ZONE, LOCATED AT 45-
800 DEEP CANYON ROAD.
CASE NO. VAR 85-1
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 14th day of May, 1985, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request of
SANDY BAUM for approval of a variance to permit a six foot high wall within the angle
of visibility (where construction is prohibited) at the southeast corner of Yucca Tree
Drive and Deep Canyon Road in the R-1 10,000 zone, more particularly described as:
45-800 Deep Canyon Road
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 is a Class 1 categorical exemption and no further documentation is deemed
necessary.
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 and reasons to exist to justify the granting of said variance:
1. There are practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hardships
inconsistent with the objectives of this ordinance that would result if the
variance is not granted.
2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that
apply to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zone.
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation will deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same vicnity and zone.
4. The granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, and welfare of properties and improvements in the vicinity.
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 approval of VAR 85-1 is hereby granted for reasons subject to the
attached conditions.
