did on the 1st day of April, 1986, hold a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the request of L 8 T DEVELOPMENT CO. for approval of a negative
declaration of environmental impact, precise plan and conditional use permit
to remodel six existing units and construct 14 additional units under
provisions of the Senior Housing Overlay zoning ordinance chapter 25.52.
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 community
development 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 exist to
justify their actions:

depreciate property values in the vicinity. The improvements to
existing older development, the development of 14 new units and the
senior citizen restrictions will upgrade the area and improve
neighborhood appearance.

interfere with the use or enjoyment of property int he vicinity nor
will it endanger public peace, health, safety or general welfare.
Senior housing generates lower impacts than alternative residential
uses.

housing rehabilitation, and senior housing goals of the Palm Desert
General PLan Housing Element and Palma Village Specific Plan.
