REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW

INTERNAL MEDICINE/RESEARCH FACILITY MEDICAL
OFFICE IN THE OFFICE COMPLEX LOCATED AT 73-712
AND 73-726 ALESSANDRO DRIVE.
CASE NO. CUP 03-01
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 18th day of February, 2003, hold a duly noticed public hearing which was continued
to March 4 and March 18, 2003, to consider a request by CARL VOCE, for the above
mentioned; 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 denial of said
conditional use permit:
1. The proposed medical office use would amount to 31 % of the complex
and when coupled with the previously approved plastic surgery office
would total 44.6% of the complex.
2. The proposed medical office would have a parking shortage of 21 spaces
when compared with the amount required by code for a medical office
use.
3. The conditions necessary to assure compliance with the number of
patients to be served as described by the applicant would be
burdensome, difficult to enforce, and could result in an invasion of
privacy beyond which the City should be engaged.
4. The number of patients is related to the number of doctors working from
the complex. Monitoring the number of doctors working from the facility
would be difficult.
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.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2199
2. That Conditional Use Permit 03-01 is hereby denied.
