CASE NO. CUP 09-276
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 7th
day of July, 2009, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by Bob Rose 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 in that the Director of Community Development has determined that the project is a Class 3
Categorical Exemption; 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 the said request:
1. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the
objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the district in which it is
located.
The proposed location is in an O.P. zone and is in accordance with the purpose
and objectives of the zone subject to a CUP. The zone allows general and
medical offices and ancillary commercial uses subject to a CUP. The purpose of
this zone is to classify and set standards for offices, administrative or
professional uses which are of relatively low intensity and which are compatible
with adjacent residential zoning and development therein. The hair salon could
be considered an ancillary use to the offices, and is compatible with the other
office/medical uses, along with the residences in the area.
2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which
it will be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
The proposed "Elite Salon" business will meet all applicable requirements of the
zoning ordinance and will not be detrimental to general public health, safety, and
welfare or materially injurious to the properties in the vicinity. Water, sanitation,
public utilities and services are available and existing within the complex.
3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, except for approved variances or
adjustments.
The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance since it
complies with the purpose of the zone and correlates to the permitted uses
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2508
allowed. The zone allows general and medical offices and ancillary commercial
uses subject to a CUP. The hair salon could be considered an ancillary use to the
offices. No variances or adjustments are required for this use.
4. That the proposed conditional use complies with the goals, objectives and
policies of the City's General Plan.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is "Office Professional (C-
OP)': One of the primary objectives stated in the Land Use Element of the
General Plan is assigned to lands that provide comparative advantages for office
development, with use characteristics that enhance compatibility with residential
and other sensitive land uses. Mixed Use development with hotels and motels,
professional office and residential may also be permitted through approval of an
integrated master plan.
This project maintains a land use that is consistent with the Land Use Element of
the General Plan. The project is consistent with the General Plan because the
project proposes a commercial use that is compatible with the existing uses within
the office/medical complex as well as with the existing area, and offers a service to
the community.
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.
2. That approval of Conditional Use Permit 09-276 is hereby granted, subject to
conditions attached.
