CASE NOS. TT 21791, PP 86-36
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California,
did on the 15th day of July, 1986, hold a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the request of GERMAIN DEVELOPMENT CO., INC., for approval of a
precise plan of design, tentative tract map, and negative declaration of
environmental impact to allow construction of a 20 lot single family detached
project on a 5.02 acre parcel in the PR-5 zone located on the north side of
Hovley Lane east of Monterey Avenue, more particularly described as:
APN 622-020-010
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 an adverse 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 and reasons to
exist to justify granting approval of said precise plan and tentative tract
map:
1. The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific
plan in that the net density of 5.14 falls well within the general
plan's density for the area of 5 to 7 units per acre. It also
reflects the current goals of the city to encourage the development
of single family detached housing.
2. The design or improvements proposed are consistent with applicable
general and specific plans in that all public improvements will be
to city standards and the public infrastructure (see environmental
documents) can accommodate the proposed development at ultimate
build out and occupancy.
3. The site is physically suited for the proposed subdivision in that
no variances or code modifications are requested or necessary for
the project's development.
4. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development
in that the 20 units can be constructed without modification and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 1167
will be compatible to previously developed R-1 zoned single family
detached developments.
5. The design and improvements will not cause substantial environmental
damage or injure fish and wildlife habitat in that as identified in
the environmental documents the short and long range environmental
impacts are minor and conditions of approval will mitigate the minor
impacts identified.
6. The design of the subdivision and improvements will not cause public
health problems in that all energy and building requirements must be
complied with.
7. The subdivision will not conflict with any existing public easements
in that any existing easement that is needed by the public will be
retained or relocated as necessary.
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 Precise Plan 86-36 and TT 21791 are hereby granted
for reasons subject to the attached conditions.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Palm Desert
