CASE NO: C/Z 87-10 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 1st day of September, 1987 hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider approval of a negative declaration of environmental impact and change of zone from Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) to General Commercial (C-1). 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 environmental services has determined that the project will not have an adverse impact on the environment and a negative declaration of environmental impact 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 a recommendation of approval: 1. The subject property is not within the hillside, therefore the current HPR zoning is inappropriate. Commercial development of the site would better serve the public health, safety and general welfare than the current HPR designation. 2. The subject property is relatively flat, is adjacent to a state highway and is identical in nature to other commercially zoned and developed property in the vicinity. 3. The C-1 General Commercial zoning for the designated portion of the property is consistent with the general plan, West Hills Specific Plan and Proposition E passed November 6. 1984. 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 the planning commission does hereby recommend to city council approval of a negative declaration of environmental impact Exhibit. "A" and change of zone 87-10 Exhibit "B".
