WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert,
California, did on the 21st day of November, 1995, hold a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the request of KEN STEMMER for the above
noted variance request for property, more particularly described as:

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. 95-105," in that the director
of community development has determined that the project is a Class 5
categorical exemption for the 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 approval of said variance:
1. The practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hardships
inconsistent with the objectives of this ordinance that would
result if the variance is not granted.
2. That exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
that apply to that property that do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zone was established to the
satisfaction of the commission.
3. That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of
the specified regulation will deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the
same vicinity and zone.
4. That the commission is satisfied that the granting of the
variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare, or 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.
