SQUARE FOOT PORTION OF APN 640-02-003 DIRECTLY
ADJACENT TO THE WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 111, EAST OF
THE TOE OF SLOPE AND WEST OF THE PARK VIEW
DRIVE/HIGHWAY III INTERSECTION.
CASE NO: C/Z 87-10
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on
the 22nd day of October, 1987 hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider
approval of a negative declaration of environmental impact and change of zone
from Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) to General Commercial (C-1).
WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of the "City
of Palm 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 an adverse impact on the
environment and a negative declaration of environmental impact has been
prepared.
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 approval:
1. The subject property is not within the hillside, therefore the
current HPR zoning is inappropriate. Commercial development of the
site would better serve the public health, safety and general
welfare than the current HPR designation.
2. The subject property is relatively flat, is adjacent to a state
highway and is identical in nature to other commercially zoned and
developed property in the vicinity.
3. The C-1 General Commercial zoning for the designated portion of the
property is consistent with the general plan, West Hills Specific
Plan and Proposition E passed November 6, 1984.
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 council in this case.
2. That the city council does hereby approve negative declaration of
environmental impact Exhibit "A" and change of zone 87-10 Exhibit
