WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on the 6th day of October, 1992, hold a duly noticed
public hearing which was continued to October 20 and November 17 and
December 1, 1992 to consider the request of SEAN SONTAG for LOUISE'S
PANTRY for approval of a conditional use permit for a 600 square foot
expansion of the existing Louise's Pantry restaurant at 44-491 Town
Center Way and a reduction in the required setback from Town Center
Way; 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 is a class 1
categorical exemption for purposes of CEQA; 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 approving said conditional use permit:
1. The location of restaurants within retail commercial
complexes are complimentary and beneficial to retail tenants
in the vicinity.
2. The mix of uses in the shopping complex and the available
parking supplies are such that the proposed restaurant
expansion will not create a parking shortage in the area.
3. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and objectives
of the general commercial zone, Commercial Core Area Specific
Plan and the Palm Desert General Plan.
4. The proposed location of the conditional use and the
conditions under which it will be operated and maintained
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
general welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
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.
