WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did hold a duly
noticed public hearing on the 12th day of Au ust, 1982, to consider an appeal by PALM
DESERT MEDICAL CENTER to a decision by the Palm Desert Planning Commission
denying a variance from maximum signage allotments for two signs located on a building
at 72-205 Highway 111, more particularly described as:
APN 629-740-003

Desert Procedure for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Resolution No. 80-89", in that the director of environmental services has determined that
the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and is a Class 1
categorical exemption.
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, the City Council did find the following facts and reasons to exist to justify the
denial of said appeal.
1. There are no practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hardships
inconsistent with the objectives of this ordinance that would result
if the variance is not granted, in that variances are restricted to
physical hardships befalling landowners due to size, shape or topography
of the property and not to self-imposed hardships imposed by landlords.
2. There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
that apply to the building that do not apply generally to other buildings
in the same aone in that the building is not set back a considerable
distance from the highway and there are no obstructions to impair
visibility.
3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation will not deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same vicinity and zone, in that other
signs erected under city regulations comply with maximum signage
allotments.

Desert, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the council in this case;
