TPM 36292 / HTE 10-81 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 4th day of May, 2010, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider a request by LA QUINTA RANCH for the above mentioned; 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 15 (Minor Land Divisions) categorical exemption for purposes of CEQA and no further documentation 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 granting approval of said tentative parcel map: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. • The site has been previously developed in accordance with the City's General Plan. The proposed parcel map for condominium purposes will only change the ownership aspect of the project, not the use. The parcel map is consistent with the Industrial -Business Park land use designation and surrounding properties. There is no approved specific plan for the area. 2. That the design or improvements of the proposed map are consistent with applicable general and specific plans. • The property is developed and all improvements have been constructed consistent with the City's General Plan. The tentative parcel map for condominiums purposes will not impact any improvements. There is no specific plan applicable to this project. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. • The site is developed and located within an existing office -industrial business park. The tentative parcel map for condominium purposes will change the ownership aspect, not the site. 4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2529 • The site was developed in accordance with all the development standards at the time it was developed. The Tentative Parcel Map for condominium purposes will not change the density of the existing property. 5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. • The property is already developed and any potential environmental impacts have been mitigated. The Tentative Parcel Map for condominium purposes will not change or impact the existing environment. 6. That the design of the parcel or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. • The tentative parcel map is for condominium purposes only and will not cause any public health problems. 7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. • The applicant will submit CC&Rs and reciprocal access agreements to maintain shared access and parking for the public at large. The final map will not be recorded until the agreements have been reviewed and determined to be satisfactory.

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