CASE NO. ZOA 12-57
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did
on the 21st day of February, 2012, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider a
modification to Section 25.70.020 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code; 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, and the Director of Community Development has determined that
the proposed revision to the Health and Safety Code 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 approval of the
said amendment:
1. That the consolidation of the Landscape Beautification Committee into the
Architectural Review Commission requires an increased membership for
more broad representation of items that are reviewed by the commission;
2. The enhancement and preservation of the appearance of Palm Desert will not
be successful unless public and private property is developed in harmony with
the desired character of the city and in conformance with applicable city
guidelines and codes;
