parking demand which can be accommodated by existing spaces

with the goals and objectives of the General Commercial zone,
Commercial Core Area Specific Plan and the Palm Desert

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.
