A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A
CHANGE OF ZONE FROM OFFICE PROFESSIONAL (O.P.) TO PUBLIC
(P) FOR A VACANT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 72-565 HIGHWAY 111,
ALSO KNOWN AS APN 640-370-016
CASE NO: CZ 14-190
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 19th day of August, 2014, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by
the City of Palm Desert for approval of the above noted; and
WHEREAS, according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
City must determine whether a proposed activity is a project subject to CEQA. If the
project is subject to CEQA, staff must conduct a preliminary assessment of the project
to determine whether the project is exempt from CEQA review. If a project is not
exempt, further environmental review is necessary. The City of Palm Desert (City), in its
capacity as the Lead Agency has determined that the change of zone will not result in a
direct or indirect physical change to the environment; therefore it is not a project under
CEQA. Any future construction on the vacant property will require a development
application and environmental study for any impacts from a specific project.
The application has complied with the requirements of the "City of Palm Desert Procedure
for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act," Resolution No. 2014-41,
in the Director of Community Development has determined that the proposed project is a
Class 1: Existing Facilities (15301) Categorical Exemption for purposes of CEQA and
no further 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, which are outlined in the staff
report reasons to approve the said request:
1. The land use resulting from the change of zone will be consistent with the
Entrada Del Paseo Master Plan.
2. The change of zone will provide accurate zoning for the development of the
.68-acre site for future public use.
3. That the proposed change of zone will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or general welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
