FACILITY LOCATED AT 74-836 TECHNOLOGY DRIVE, SUITE

CASE NO. CUP 10-274
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 5th day of October, 2010, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by
the Coachella Valley Bridge Foundation doing business as Duncan Bridge Center 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. 10-26 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 a Planned Community Development
zone. One of the purposes of this district should encourage the
most effective use of a site with a variety of residential
environments providing necessary public facilities, ample open
space and a functional, well-balanced community. The type of
activity conducted at the proposed site is a community resource
to the public. Impact is minimal and may have a positive impact
on adjacent businesses. Parking is currently in abundance and
the proposed activity and number of persons attending this site
would effectively use the built structures and system in place.
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 bridge facility 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 already constructed throughout the building. Classes
operate throughout the day, seven days a week, effectively using
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2535
the site while directing new community growth and development
potentially positively impacting adjacent businesses.
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; the organization operates a service based use that
operates throughout the day. Adjacent businesses provide
services or goods that could potentially be positively impacted from
the increased traffic to the site. This use will direct new community
growth, achieve more interest, and encourage the most effective
use of the site.
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 "Industrial /
Business Park (I-B.P.)". A primary objective stated in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan under Industrial Goals, Policies
and Programs is Goal 1, which provides for the development of
business parks and non-polluting industrial uses, and which
assures compatible integration with other, non -industrial land uses.
Policy 6B of the General Plan Land Use Element is to review all
Business Park / Industrial development proposals with a special
regard for public health and safety issues to ensure that the type
and intensity of the use is appropriate for the proposed location
and comparative with surrounding land uses.
This project maintains a land use that is consistent with the goals,
policies, and programs of the General Plan. The project is
consistent with the General plan in respect to the appropriate use
of the proposed location. The business is compatible with
surrounding land uses, and the proposed hours of use would
effectively use and existing underutilized center.
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 10-274 is hereby granted, subject
to conditions attached.
