MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Francisco J. Urbina, Associate Planner
DATE: August 24, 2006
SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map No. 34305, Stone Haven at Cahuilla Hills
Tentative Tract Map No. 34305 is a proposal by Peter Scheer to subdivide 20 acres in the
unincorporated area of Cahuilla Hills into 10 residential lots and one lot for a common
recreation and swim facility. The residential lots range in size from 21,440 square feet to 1.5
acres. Approximately 21.4% (4.28 acres) of the 20-acre site will be graded for roads and pads.
Riverside County zoning for site is R-1-1 (Single Family Residential, 1-acre minimum lot size).
Under the County's zoning, the 20-acre site could be subdivided into a maximum of 20 one -
acre lots. The City of Palm Desert's Hillside Planned Residential zone would allow a maximum
of six parcels on the site.
During the past three months, Councilman Buford Crites, Carlos Ortega, and Philip Drell met
with Riverside County Supervisor Roy Wilson, County Deputy Administrative Officer Dan
Martinez, and Mr. Scheer to discuss revising the map to achieve greater consistency with City's
Hillside Planned Residential zone. The property owner agreed to reduce the number of
residential lots proposed from 13 to 10. We think the revised map (copy attached) represents a
reasonable compromise.
The Riverside County Planning Department has requested a letter from the City of Palm Desert
stating that the City does not oppose the proposed subdivision. Mr. Drell will prepare such a
letter. In the letter we will request that the County place conditions of approval on the map that
limit future grading on the subdivision to those areas shown on the tentative map and that the
land divider renaturalize all cut and fill slopes and other areas temporarily disturbed by grading.
The developer and the County have agreed that the City and Stone Eagle will continue to have
site and architectural design input as the project proceeds.
