INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Carlos L. Ortega, City Manager
FROM: Francisco J. Urbina, Associate Planner
DATE: October 20, 2005
SUBJECT: The vacant 26.42-acre site at the northeast corner of Monterey Avenue
and Frank Sinatra Drive and pending City of Rancho Mirage General Plan
Amendment
In response to your recent request, I corfirmed with City of Rancho Mirage Planning
Department staff that their city's General Plan Update Advisory Committee and
planning staff are recommending approval of a general plan amendment to their land
use map from Mixed Use Commercial/Office/Residential to General Commercial at the
subject site. This recommendation is part of a city-wide general plan update. A public
hearing on this general plan update is scheduled before the Rancho Mirage Planning
Commission on October 27, 2005. 1 will call the City of Rancho Mirage on October 24,
2005 to request a copy of the staff report for our review. If the general plan amendment
for the site is subsequently approved by the City Council, the zoning designation for the
site will also change from Mixed Use (MU) to General Commercial (CG).
The Mixed Use and General Commercia zones allow general retail uses and offices.
Residential uses are also allowed in the N/lU zone, but not in the CG zone. Restaurants
with drive-thru's are not allowed at this location by either zone. A complete list of
allowed land uses in the MU and CG zones is found on Table 2-4 (pages 504-509) of
the Rancho Mirage Zoning Ordinance (copy attached).
If a written response from the City of Palm Desert stating our position is needed, please
advise if you would like a draft prepared for the appropriate signature.
Please find the following attachments:

This chapter provides regulations applicable to devel-
opment and new land uses in the special purpose zoning
districts established by Section 17.06.010 (Zoning Dis-
tricts Established). The purposes of the individual special
purpose zoning districts and the manner in which they are
applied are as follows:
A. P (Institutional) Zone. The P-zoning district is
applied to areas appropriate for a variety of public uses,
including city hall, educational facilities, hospitals, librar-
ies, police and fire, and other public agency facilities
which may require appropriate buffering from adjacent
residential designations. The P zoning district is consistent
with the Public/Quasi Public land use designation of the
general plan; and
B. OS (Open Space) District. The OS zoning district
is applied to appropriate areas to ensure the conservation
and protection of natural resources, including earthquake
fault zones, fire protection areas, flood plains, open space
areas, steep slopes of fifty percent or more and other sig-
nificant habitat areas identified in the conservation and
open space element of the general plan. The OS zoning
district is consistent with the Open Space land use
designation of the general plan. (Ord. 777 § 1 (Exh. A
(part), 2002))
