WHEREAS, The Planning Commission by its Resolution No. 2295 has
recommended approval of GPA 04-01; and
WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City of
Palm Desert Procedures for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Resolution No. 02-60", in that the Director of Community Development has determined
that the project is a Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) Categorical
Exemption; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said City Council finds the following
facts and reasons to justify its actions, as described below:
1. A Low Density Residential land use designation with a Study Zone overlay
was applied to the site when the City Council adopted a new General Plan
on March 15, 2004,. The Council anticipated that general plan amendment
and change of Zone applications would be filed to change the land use
designation and zoning to Office Professional once a development plan for
the project site was prepared and filed.
2. The property at the northwest corner of Cook Street and Sheryl Avenue is
designated on the General Plan as Office Professional, zoned OP.
3. The General Plan Noise Element discourages residential uses adjacent to
streets with high traffic volumes such as Cook Street due to traffic noise that
would negatively impact the outdoor peace and enjoyment of residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Palm Desert, California, as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 04-115
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the City Council in this case.
2. That the City Council hereby approves GPA 04-01 as shown on Exhibit A
