A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO CITY COUNCIL
APPROVAL OF A ZONING ORDINANCE MODIFICATION CLARIFYING
LANGUAGE IN SECTION 25.112, EXCEPTIONS BASED ON
UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKINGS.
CASE NO. ZOA 09-253
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did
on the 16th day of June, 2009, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request
by the CITY OF PALM DESERT for approval of the above noted; 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. 06-78, the Director of Community Development has determined that the
proposed clarification of the Zoning Ordinance is not a project as defined under CEQA
and no further environmental review is necessary, 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 recommending
approval of said request to the City Council:
1. That the Planning Commission, in order to mitigate potential
environmental impacts, may want to place conditions on a project when
granting of an exception based upon unconstitutional taking; and
2. Though the power to condition any approval is inherent in the various
approval processes in the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 25.112 of the Palm
Desert Municipal Code does not explicitly permit the Planning
Commission to place such conditions; and
3. That the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not negatively
impact the public health, safety or general welfare.
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 Planning Commission in this case.
2. That the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
approval of Case No. ZOA 09-253.
