CALIFORNIA, CONSIDERING APPROVING A THIRD AMENDMENT TO
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 02-01 (STONE EAGLE DEVELOPMENT)
LOCATED WEST OF THE PALM VALLEY STORM CHANNEL AT THE
TERMINATION OF OLD STONE TRAIL (APN: 652-090-002)
CASE NO: DA 02-01 Amendment No. 3
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 28th day
of February 2019, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by Eagle 605,
LLC, for approval of the above -noted project request and continued the item; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 14th day
of March 2019, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by Eagle 605, LLC,
for approval of the above -noted project request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 15th day of January 2019, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by
Eagle 605, LLC, for a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the above -noted
project request; 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, a further
environmental review is necessary. The application has complied with the requirements of
the "City of Palm Desert Procedure for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality
Act," Resolution No. 2015-75, in that the Director of Community Development has determined
that the project will not have a negative impact on the environment and that a Mitigated
Negative Declaration can be adopted; and
WHEREAS, at the said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council did find
the following facts and reasons, which are outlined in the staff report, exist to justify the
approval of said request:
1. The Development Agreement (DA) provides the City and the developer with a
higher degree of certainty of how the project will be developed, what associated
fees and improvements will be required, and assurance of consistency with City
policies, ordinances, regulations, and exceptions allowed as part of the DA.
2. Limiting grading and protecting natural resources are goals of both the City's R-H
General Plan Designation and the City's Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) zoning
district. As proposed, this project accomplishes two goals by reducing the overall
number of units within the Stone Eagle Development, and by designing the
proposed development into the existing terrain of the hillside such that grading is
minimized. There is no specific plan for this area.
ORDINANCE NO. 1346
3. The vacant property is located within the City of Palm Desert and located adjacent
to the existing Stone Eagle Development. The site has vehicle access points via
Old Stone Trail. The pads have been located to blend with the natural terrain of
the property to the greatest extent feasible. Similar sites have been successfully
developed as single-family homes as is proposed here, demonstrating that these
sites are physically suitable for the proposed development
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the City
Council in this case.
