CASE NO. PP 99-20 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 20th day of December, 2005, hold a duly noticed public hearing to determine if the City issued Building Permit/Certificate of Occupancy should be declared "null and void" pursuant to Municipal Code Section 25.73.015; 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 as follows: 1. That with respect to Condition Nos. 17 and 19 of City Council Resolution No. 00- 21 the owner has complied with the intent of the conditions. 2. That the occupancy of the building by a personal services/skin care clinic and certain medical offices are approved uses in the O.P. zone. 3. That the mesh portion of the screening system on the second floor landing if modified to provide an effective, opaque barrier will meet the intent of the Condition Nos. 13 and 14 of City Council Resolution No. 00-21. 4. That considering the ambiguity of the condition with respect to the wall height and where it should be measured, the original apparent acceptance of the wall by the previous owner of the property to the north, the limited ability to increase the wall height in an architecturally acceptable manner, and the extent of the fill in of the landscape planter, the Commission determines that the wall as constructed on the north property line has reasonably fulfilled the intent of Condition No. 11 of City Council Resolution No. 00-21 provided that the property owner agrees in writing to allow the landscape material to continue to fill in and if there are open areas, then additional tree/shrub material will be installed to the satisfaction of the City Landscape Manager.

That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the Commission in this case. 2.
