WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California,

declaration of environmental impact and preannexation zoning of 160 acres in

residential ten units per acre (PR-10), the 40 acre property in the north
east corner of the subject area which in addition to the PR-5 zone will have a
Senior Overlay (S.0.) which will permit senior housing to be constructed at
densities above the base zone and the 31 acre site north of Good Samaritan
which will be prezoned PR-4 (planned residential four units per acre).
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 proposed pre -zoning is consistent with the current county zoning
and development patterns, the proposed Palm Desert General Plan for
the area and the proposed North Sphere Specific Plan.
2. The proposed pre -zoning protects the public health, safety and
general welfare.
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 a negative declaration of environmental impact, Exhibit "A",
is hereby recommended for approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 1268
3. That Exhibit "B" attached hereto delineating the area and the

APPLICANT/PROJECT SPONSOR: CITY OF PALM DESERT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/LOCATION:
A negative declaration of environmental impact and general plan amendment
affecting 160 acres generally in the southeast quarter of section 10 (ie: the
area south of the Lakes Country C►ub, north of 42nd Avenue east of the present

thereby be expanded to cover the subject area. Said general plan will be
effective upon annexation of the area to the City of Palm Desert. The area
will be designated residential low density three to five dwelling units per
acre except for the Good Samaritan Village 20 acre site which will be
designated residential high density seven to eighteen dwelling units per acre.
In addition the area will be served by a local street system connecting to
Hovley Lane in the southwest and Eldorado Drive in the northeast.
The Director of the Department of Community Development, City of Palm Desert,
California, has found that the described project will not have a significant
effect on the environment. A copy of the initial study has been attached to
document the reasons in support of this finding. Mitigation measures, if any,
included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects, may also be
found attached.
