Dear Mr. Williams :
I have received your letter of April 4 , 1978 requesting assist-
ance from the County of Riverside in the creation of an offroad
vehicle park.
The County Parks Department does operate a facility of this
nature near Beaumont, called De Anza Cycle Park . Due to increased
use on weekends , we are considering expansion for additional bike
trails , areas for 4-wheel drive vehicles , as well as overnight
camping areas .
The area nearest your community that was considered for such
usage is Edom Hill , located to the north side of Highway 10 . The
Park Advisory Commission held a public hearing on the subject
approximately two years ago and because support by the public did
not indicate public interest , the subject was not explored further.
The Park Advisory Commission is the advisory group to the Board
of Supervisors on subjects relating to County Park facilities .
This group will meet on May 24 , 1978, and will consider your re-
quest between the hours of 1 and 3 p .m. that afternoon . You are
most welcome to be present at this meeting , which will be held
at the Parks Headquarters building in Rubidoux .
Sincerely,
/ ,

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning Commission & Park and Recreation Commission
Report On: Proposed Capital Improvements Budget for 1978-1979 and Proposed
Palm Desert Community Park Extension.
Date: May 17, 1978
I. INTRODUCTION:
Pursuant to Section 65401 and 65402(a) of the Governmental Code of the
State of California, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert
is required to review proposed public works projects to determine their
compliance to the adopted General Plan. Therefore, the City Manager
is forwarding to the Commission the proposed Capital Improvements Budget
for 1978-1979. In addition, as a part of last years Capital Improvements
Budget, an item was shown as the proposed Palm Desert Community Park
Extension. The landscape and land use plan for that expansion has now
been completed, and it is being forwarded as a part of this package to
the Commission for a similar determination as to compliance to the General
Plan. The Staff has taken the liberty of utilizing the unique circumstance
whereby the Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission are
meeting in joint Study Session to cover both of these items with both Com-
missions at once.
In order to fully understand the proposed projects, this report has been
prepared to describe the parameters of each individual project.
II. PRELIMINARY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS BUDGET 78/79:
A. Introduction:
If one were to look at the actual proposed preliminary budget for
1978-1979 and attempt to extract the proposed capital improvement
projects, it may be difficult. This is based upon the fact that the
projects are by fund versus specific categories. Except for the
specific street resurfacing program which will be presented to the
Commissions at their meeting, the attached map describes all the pro-
posed projects to be done in the capital improvements budget. In ad-
dition the following is anarrative that describes the proposed items.
1 . Construction of South Side Fire Station: ($200,000)
The number one project proposed in the capital improvements budget
is construction of the two to three bay fire station on the one-
acre site recently given to the City by the Ironwood organization.
The funding source for this project is the Building Excise Tax Fund.
2. Property Acquisition in the COD Specific Plan Area: ($100,000)
The Capital Improvements Budget provides for Phase II of the land
acquisition in the College of the Desert Area Specific Plan to
provide for road widenings and road relocations. Further, a por-
tion of the money is to be utilized to acquire the proposed park
site at the corner of Catalina Way and San Pascual . The funding
source for this project is the Building Excise Tax Fund.
3. Rancho Road Drainage Improvements: ($210,000)
This project provides for installation of curbs, gutters, and
drainage pipes in the Rancho Road area, which is at the northeast
corner of 44th and Portola, to resolve a yearly drainage and flood-
ing problem in that area. The funding source for this project is
$150,000 from the Federal Government under the Community Development
Block Grant Program and $60,000 from the City's Gas Tax Fund No. 2106.

II . STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
By Planning Commission Resolution No. recommend approval to the City
Council of a Change of Zone from 'S' to P.C. (2)(U.A.) , R-2 8,000(8)(U.A. ) ,
R-1-12,000 (U.A. ), PR-5(U.A. ) , PR-4(U.A. ) , and O.S. (U.A. ) for the property
under consideration. Justification is based upon:
1 . The revised recommendation does conform to the Palm Desert General
Plan to a greater degree than the initial recommendation.
2. The revised recommendation is more compatible to existing and proposed
zones in the area.
3. The revised recommendation provides increased mitigation measures con-
sidered appropriate after review of an expanded initial study conducted
on the project.
4. The revised recommendation would better meet the objectives of the Palm
Desert adopted General Plan.
5. The application of Planned Zones on a majority of the subject property
provides the City the vehicle by which to control development in terms
of timing; mitigation measures related to blowsand and protection of
unique animals and landforms; and, compatibility of development to
City Standards.
6. The area being considered for prezoning is considered a logical expan-
sion of the Community; and the recommended zoning designations are
considered compatible to the existing development in the Community.

V. DISCUSSION: (Cont. )
B. General Plan Designation: (Cont. )
The residential land area of approximately 925 acres would have a
maximum potential dwelling unit range of 4,395 to 6,153 under the
General Plan Land Use designation of medium density residential .
However, the Staff believes that this range will be reduced on the
basis of:
1 . Mitigation of moderate blowsand condition in the area.
2. Potential development pattern in the area because of large
ownerships.
3. Mitigation of possible environmental affects.
Therefore, the recommended zoning designations would provide a
maximum density of approximately 4,175 dwelling units or 4.48 d.u.
per acre.
VI. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ZONE DESIGNATIONS:
A. Introduction:
Since the initiation of the prezoning procedures, the proposed zoning
designations have been refined in two specific areas. First, is the
corner of Country Club Drive and Cook Street which Staff had tentatively
designated as potentially PC(2) and PR-10; on the basis of a potential
development plan for all the property in the north half of the section
between Portola and Cook Street. However, this potential development
did not come about. Therefore, it is recommended that the total area
be designated as PR-4. This would not preclude a future consideration
of a total development plan on this area, and some revision of the
Zone Designations in this area.
Secondly, the approximate 170 acre parcel at the northwest corner of
the Whitewater Channel and Portola Avenue (extended) is being recom•-
mended for a PR-5 designation, instead of the previous recommendation
of PR-4. This recommendation is based upon compatibility to adjacent
zoning to the north, west and east. Please note attached Exhibit 2
for adjacent zoning.
B. Review of Recommended Designations:
The recommended Zoning districts proposed for the subject property can
be broken down into four general classifications which will be discussed
below. The final recommendation is less dense than allowed under the
land use designations in the General Plan. This reduction is the result
of serious review of the environmental concerns for the area, as shown
in the attached, expanded initial study. The following reflects the
projected impacts of the recommended zone districts:
(see next page)
The two non-residential designations recommended to be established in
the subject area include the PC(2) designation at the southeast corner
of the intersection of Monterey Avenue and Country Club Drive which is
in conformance with the recommendation of the City's General Plan.
Said Plan recommends an area of 5-15 acres in size. The proposed de-
signation is approximately 9.3 acres. Such areas are intended to sup-
plement the established commercial area along Highway 111 , but should
be limited to convenience type shopping, such as supermarkets, barber
shops, drugstores, etc. The second non-residential designation is the
0.S. District for the proposed Sand Dune Park easterly of Portola Avenue
(extended) and southerly of Hovely Lane extended. This designation is
proposed for the purpose of preserving the unique sand dunes that exist
at this location, and to also preserve the natural habitat of several
rare species that are known to exist in the area, which include the
fringe-toed lizard.

VI. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ZONE DESIGNATIONS: (Cont. )
B. Review of Recommended Designations: (Cont. )
The proposed residential designations consist of two categories -
Planned Residential and Single-family. The Planned Residential ,
which is the largest classification proposed (91% of residential
area) is broken almost equally into two density classifications 4
and 5 units to the acre. The single family designation is also
broken into two categories - 12,000 sq. ft. lot min. and 8,000 sq.
ft. lot min. The smaller lot designation is recommended adjacent
to the proposed commercial center. The Commission will be consider-
ing a Development Plan for this area which indicates how this re-
sidential area will relate to the proposed Commercial development.
Staff believes that the proposed 8,000 sq. ft. lot development
will act as an excellent and unique buffer for the proposed com-
mercial center. This approach is preferred to the more traditional
procedure of using apartments as the buffering element. The Staff
cannot, therefore, support the points made by the Rancho Mirage
Planning Commission in their letter on this matter, which is a part
of the Development Plan report.
The second proposed single-family designation of 12,000 sq. ft. lot
min. is proposed for the southwest corner of the intersection of
Country Club Drive and Portola Avenue (extended) . This parcel is
considered desirable for such a designation on the basis of: good
access, suitable size, and view potential . Therefore, Staff cannot
support the request of Mr. Hirsch in his letter attached hereto as
Exhibit 3, for a substantially greater density. Further, Mr. Hirsch's
request is for a zoning designation of R-1-7,500 sq. ft. (average) ,
is less than the minimum of 8,000 sq. ft. allowed under the City's
Zoning Ordinance, Therefore, there is no way that the Commission
can consider Mr. Hirsch's request.
C. Circulation Pattern:
Exhibit 1 , attached hereto, describes the proposed major circulation
elements for the subject property. Said system provides for the ex-
tension of Portola Avenue northerly to Country Club Drive and the
widening of Cook Street, Monterey Avenue and Country Club Drive.
Said plan also provides for the extension of Hovely Lane to Cook Street
on the basis of an 88 ft. right-of-way. In addition, a new street
connection, mid-block between Portola Avenue and Monterey Avenue, is
proposed to connect Hovely Lane to Country Club Drive.
Staff envisions the area developing west to east, which is exemplified
by the fact that the only development plans filed for the area is ad-
jacent to Monterey Avenue. Because of the large parcels east of Por-
tola Avenue (extended) , an additional north-south connection between
Hovely Lane and Country Club Drive is envisioned, but is not shown
at this time. Further, special consideration will have to be given
to this road extension in relation to the existing industrial zoning
south of the subject property, so that none of the industrial related
traffic is directed through the residential area to the north. Finally,
because of the large ownerships, the road system in this portion of the
subject property may be private.
D. Environmental Analysis:
Environmentally, the subject area has been throughly reviewed with two
Environmental Impact Reports having previously been prepared on two
areas of the subject property; three Environmental Impact Reports being
prepared on property southerly of and adjacent to the subject property;
and, the City's General Plan Environmental Impact Report which analyzed
the subject property. Particular review was conducted regarding the
proposed District Commercial designation since it was one of only seven
designations in the total planning area of 72 sq. miles. Based upon
this previous environmental review, both on and adjacent to the subject
property, the Staff elected to utilize a new state mandated approach
known as an expanded initial study approach to analyzing the environ-
mental affects. This approach was also selected on the basis

Paul A. Williams , A. I .P.
Director of Environmental Services
City of Palm Desert
P. 0. Box 1977
Palm Desert, Ca. 92260
Re: 60 acre R-1 development in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 and
the E 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 in Section 8,
T5S, R6E, S .B.B.& M.
Dear Mr. Williams :
Pursuant to our meeting (April 24, 1978) and discussions
relating to zone modifications relevant to the development
of the above parcel of land, we have prepared this letter to
formally request that the Planning Commission amend and reduce
the zoning requirements from R-1-1200 sq. ft . to an average of
R-1-7500 sq. ft. upon annexation of said parcel to the City
of Palm Desert.
As we explained in our meeting we have evaluated the general
growth pattern in the City of Palm Desert and find a lack of
"new" R-1 lots and homes available in the medium price range
to meet the needs of younger families and buyers on fixed
incomes . Certainly existing R-1 lots of the smaller sizes
are available to buyers wishing to build homes individually
or developers who are satisfied with developing small groups
of lots on a random basis .
It is our opinion that random "hop-scotch" methods of develop-
ment (most of which are a rather bland, grid type concept) do
not afford either the City or the developer the chance to take
advantage of current planning principals which emphasize overall
architectual control and utilize modern Public Works improvements
to achieve an interesting and quality community. Further, we
feel the type of project we are considering would not detract
from any of the more recreation-oriented planned unit develop-
ments , which are so plentiful within the City, since most are
considerably removed from the subject property. We would like
to bring attention to the fact that since access to this project
