CASE NOS. C/Z 04-02 AND PP 04-20
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 23rd
day of September, 2004, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the appeal filed by
PORTOLA PROPERTIES/CHRIS McFADDEN, to a decision of the Planning Commission
denying the above described project; 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 City Council did find
the following facts and reasons to exist to justify its actions, as described below:
CHANGE OF ZONE:
1. The General Plan dual designates this property medium density
residential/office professional.
2. The applicant has not made a compelling argument through the design of his
project that the appropriate use is office professional.
PRECISE PLAN:
1. Without approval of the change of zone, the proposed office complex is not
consistent with the zoning.
2. The two-story project as designed does not comply with the General Plan
Community Design Element Program 10 B policy which requires that office
projects in this area be compatible with the single story surrounding
residential area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, California, as follows:
