CASE N0. GPA 87-4
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California,
did on the 15th day of September, 1987 hold a duly noticed hearing to consider
the request of DAVID and MARY STOLTZMAN for above mentioned project; and
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
environmental impact and a negative declaration has been prepared; and
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 the granting of said denial:
1. The project would interfere with the orderly development in the
vicinity by locating in a largely undeveloped area, surrounded by
existing and planned residential uses, thereby proving incompatible.
2. There is sufficient land in the vicinity, adjacent to commercial
uses that would be more suitable for medical office uses that would
meet the basic Intent for office professional uses.
3. The proposal is inconsistent with the City's General Plan without
an office professional designation.
4. The project is inconsistent with the objectives of the zoning
ordinance by creating a conflict between land uses due to variations
in intensities of use in respect to traffic generation.
5. Property owners in the vicinity have indicated that the change of
zone would negatively impact their life styles and property values
through the generation of increased traffic in the area.
6. Property owners in the vicinity indicated that they had depended on
the existing zoning and general plan when acquiring their residential
properties.
7. There has not been demonstrated a compelling reason to revise the
general plan zoning on the site to permit this use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of Palm Desert, as follows:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 1257
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the 1110
findings of the commission in this case.
2. That GPA 87-4 is hereby denied.
