"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 is a class 3
categorical exemption for purposes of CEQA; and

permit:

available parking supplies are such that the proposed

of the General Commercial zone, Commercial Core Area Specific
Plan and Palm Desert General Plan.

improvements in the vicinity.
