BACKGROUND:

The Coachella Village Apartments project is proposed for development of a 9.69-acre acre site with a multi-family residential development consisting of 242 dwelling units and various recreational amenities. The Planning Commission first considered and recommended approval of the project to the City Council on November 15, 2017 the City Council. The project required City Council approval since the Architectural Review was also accompanied by a Change of Zone to modify the site zoning from General Commercial (C-G) zone to the Residential Multiple Family (R-M) zone. The project was considered and approved by the City Council on January 17, 2018 but expired. The Change of Zone was adopted by Ordinance and is in effect. The applicant submitted engineering and building plans, which have been approved. Architectural Review No. 22-12 and Variance No. 22-04 were submitted by the applicant for the same project with no proposed modifications and approved by the Planning Commission on December 6, 2022. An Architectural Review permit expires after 2 years.

Staff does not propose any new modifications to the project or the conditions of approval and recommends the Planning Commission approve the 12 month extension of time.

Figure 1: Site with Proposed Development

Project Description:

HCM Development proposes a multi-family residential development (market-rate) consisting of 15 buildings totaling 223,740 square feet. The project also includes the following amenities: a 3,000 12 Item 2.
square foot daycare facility with outdoor play area, a 5,000 square foot Recreation Building, a pool and spa, and various other recreational amenities for residents throughout the site.

For the residential component of the project, nine different floor plans with efficiency units and up to 4 bedrooms, ranging between 527 square feet and 1,654 square feet are proposed. The buildings will be a mix of 2-story and 3-story buildings with a maximum building height of 35 feet, which is under the City’s maximum allowed height in the proposed R-M zone of three stories or 45 feet, thereby meeting the maximum height requirement. The applicant is required to submit a CUP application for the development of the daycare facility onsite within the proposed zoning designation.

Open Space and Recreation
Pedestrian circulation will be developed to provide access throughout the site. Outdoor areas will be provided between buildings and interconnected by the proposed pedestrian circulation to provide readily available open space areas for residents to utilize. Additionally, a 5,000 square foot recreation building will be constructed west of the main entrance to the project site that will include additional amenities for residents on the project site. A pool and a spa will be developed next to the proposed recreation building and an additional pool will be developed in the southeast portion of the site. The exhibits below show the common open space areas, including two swimming pools, two garden courtyards between buildings, and the common-area retention basin with picnic amenities.

Figure 2: Proposed Main Community Pool Area
Daycare Facility
A new building for a future daycare facility will be developed east of the main project entrance in the northeast corner of the project site. The building is proposed to be 3,000 square feet with an adjacent 2,000 square foot playground area to be utilized solely by the daycare. The daycare facility will be developed as an amenity for the proposed projects and may only be utilized by residents of 13 Item 2.
the proposed development. An application for conditional use permit will be required prior to operation of a daycare center at this location.

Hydrology
The project includes one retention basin located within the project site at the southeast corner of the project site. That portion of the project is .41 acres and it is also intended to be used as a picnic area and dog park. The detention basin will be landscaped as shown on the conceptual landscape plan and will also provide shade trees.

The City Engineer has reviewed the hydrology report submitted for this project and concurs with the plan as presented
Environmental Setting:

The proposed project is located on 9.69 acres of vacant land within the C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) Zone. The site is designated “Neighborhood Center” on the 2035 Coachella General Plan.

The surrounding land uses and zoning designations are as follows:

North: RH (Residential High District) within the City of Indio South: Residential units and vacant land (U-N, Urban Neighborhood).

East: Vacant land (C-G, General Commercial).

West: La Paloma Estates single family residential neighborhood (S-N, Suburban Neighborhood).

General Plan Consistency:

The 9.7 acre site is designated Neighborhood Center on the Coachella General Plan. The Neighborhood Center designation is intended to create a concentration of commercial businesses and civic amenities-often mixed with multi-family housing-within convenient walking or biking distance of nearby neighborhoods. As is the case with this project, neighborhood centers are generally located fronting major roadways and are intended to balance the need to provide a comfortable, walkable environment for shoppers and diners.

The proposed project is consistent with the intent and purpose, intended physical character, allowed land uses, network and connectivity, street design, parks and open space and urban form guidelines as stated in the General Plan. As stated in the General Plan, the proposed development intensity is 15-40 DU/AC for residential uses and a FAR ratio of 0.5-1.5 for commercial uses. The commercial component of the Project meets the proposed FAR ratio of 0.5-1.5 and the proposed residential density consists of 24.97 DU/AC as required in the General Plan Consistency with the Zoning Ordinance:

The proposed multi-family residential development will meet the City’s goals of establishing highdensity residential developments in conjunction with neighborhood commercial services for key intersections within the City, as outlined for the Neighborhood Center designations. The project will reserve approximately 4 acres of future commercial at the intersection of Van Buren Street and Avenue 48. Additionally, there will be pedestrian connections requirements for multi-family residential with the proposed change of zone. Furthermore, with the approval of the proposed 14 Item 2.
change of zone, the zoning designation on the proposed site will be in conformance, or concurrent with the adopted 2035 General Plan as adopted on April 22, 2015.

Circulation and Infrastructure
Proposed access to the site is from two locations, one at each end of the project. The main access point is at the east end of the project along Avenue 48 between the proposed 5,000 sf recreational building and the 3,000 sf daycare building. The other point of access is at the west end of the project where only residents will be able to access the project. Automated gates at the projects main entrances are proposed. The automated gate on the east entrance is beyond the round-about past the recreation building and the daycare building.

Landscaping
The project will provide landscaped area with Mediterranean Fan Palms, shrubs and ground cover along Avenue 48. Meandering sidewalks are proposed throughout the project within the landscaped areas adjacent to the street. A conceptual landscaping plan for the entire project is illustrated below.

Final landscaping plans will be submitted and approved prior to the issuance of building permits for development within the project. Other planting material includes Desert Cassia, White Clouds, Yellow Bells, and Thread Leaf Agave.
15 Item 2.

Walls and Fencing
Block walls and wrought iron fencing will be used as reflected below. The legend identifies the perimeter fencing, pool column and fence, apartment walls, daycare wall, steel fence and proposed architectural entry wall and accent walls:

Architectural Theming:

The architecture of the proposed project is a contemporary Spanish Revival with a combination of hipped roofs with tile and flat parapet-wall roofs with varying roof lines. Mosaic tile is proposed as accents at the tower elements. Some units proposed chimneys with flat designs on some units and others with domes on top of the chimneys. The windows are a combination of “circle windows” and “rectangular windows” throughout. The architectural detailing is consistent generally on all four sides of the building. Each unit will be provided with a one car garage and additional covered parking is provided. Non-covered parking stall are also provided 16 Item 2.
throughout the development. The proposed architectural building elevations and artist renderings of the proposed building are shown below:

Residential Layout/Architectural Theming;
In the tradition of the courtyard garden apartments, the proposed project utilizes a “green court” concept whereby the entrances to the homes and the balcony/patio areas face a common open space. Additionally, the homes are provided access off common private alleys as illustrated on the exhibit below.
17 Item 2.

VARIANCE REQUEST:

The project includes a variance approval to deviate from the minimum number of parking spaces required for the development, and for reduced dwelling unit size. The project requires a minimum of 533 parking spaces and the project site provides for 445 spaces, that is the equivalent to 15% reduction in parking. The applicant is also requesting to deviate from the minimum 600 square feet for an efficiency unit to 527 square feet proposed in the project.

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals
The Planning Commission hereby finds that all of the facts in the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated and adopted as findings of the Planning Commission as fully set forth in this resolution.

Section 2. CEQA Findings
Based upon its review of the entire record, including the Staff Report, any public comments or testimony presented to the Planning Commission, and the facts outlined below, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the proposed project environmental impacts were considered under Environmental Assessment/Initial Study No. 17-05, adopted by the City Council on January 17, 2018 for the subject project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project does not propose new changes since the original approvals of Architectural Review No. 17-12. Based on this Environmental Assessment/Initial Study and proposed mitigation measures therein, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. The Mitigated Negative Declaration considered the impact of the project, and included several technical studies Section 3. Architectural Review Findings
With respect to Architectural Review No. 22-12, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the proposed for the 242 unit multi-family residential project:

1. The proposed project is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the newly adopted Coachella General Plan 2035. The site has a Neighborhood Center land use designation that allows for multi-family residential development. The proposed structures on the site are in keeping with the policies of the Neighborhood Center land use classification and the project is internally consistent with other General Plan policies for this type of development with the exception of the 600 sf minimum efficiency unit and the minimum number of parking spaces. With the approval of the Variance application, the minimum square feet for a efficiency unit will be 525 square feet and the number of parking stalls will be 445 from 514 parking stalls. The project is consistent with the policies of the Land Use and Community Character's Sub-Area #1 policies which pursue the transformation of automobile-oriented strip commercial areas into walkable neighborhood centers that are physically connected with adjacent neighborhoods. 21 Item 2.

Resolution No. PC2024-26

2. The project will be in compliance with the applicable land use regulations and development standards of the City's Zoning Code. The site plan proposes to develop a vacant 9.7-acre site with 242 multi-family residential developments with a 5,000 sf recreation building and a 5,000 sf commercial daycare center. The project will comply with all applicable R-M (Multi-Family) zoning development standards as proposed, with the exception of the minimum efficiency unit size from 600 sf to 525 sf, and the number of parking spaces from 514 to 445 parking spaces.

3. Development of the land and application of architectural guidelines and development standards shall be considered on the basis of the suitability of the site for a particular use or development intended, and the total development, including the prescribed development standards, shall be so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the protection of public health, safety and general welfare, prevent adverse effects on neighboring property and shall be in accord with all elements of the general plan.

The proposed project site is within the Neighborhood Center land use designation of the City's general plan. The proposed uses will be compatible with existing adjacent uses that include single family residential, multi-family uses, and commercial uses within the immediate vicinity.

4. The proposed project will be compatible with neighboring properties with respect to land development patterns and application of architectural treatments. The plans submitted for this project propose a multi-family residential use with amenities for the future residents of the site that will be permitted in the R-M (Residential Multiple Family) zone.

5. Environmental Assessment/Initial Study No. 17-05 was prepared and adopted by the City Council for the subject project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and distributed to responsible agencies for review and comment.

Based on this Environmental Assessment/Initial Study and proposed mitigation measures therein, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and it would be appropriate for the project to be considered consistent with the Mitigated Negative Declaration that evaluated this project, and included several technical studies. A 30-day review period for the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration commenced on October 19, 2017 and will end on November 8, 2017 for interested and concerned individuals and public agencies to submit written comments on the project. A summary of mitigation measures, which upon implementation, reduces the impacts of the proposed project to a less-than-significant level are incorporated into the proposed conditions of approval and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the subject project.

Section 4. Variance Findings
With respect to Variance No. 22-04, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the proposed for the 242-unit multi-family residential project:

1. The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent 22 Item 2.

Resolution PC2022-26

Page 4 ends

of the General Plan. With the approval of the change of zone, the Zoning Code seeks to allow high-density residential developments, additionally the General Plan encourages walkable communities where automobile dependency is reduced by the new high density development with proximity to other services and availability of multi-modal transportation availability. The subject site consists of 9.7 acres capable to support the proposed density. The proposed high-density multi-family residential use project would be compatible with future new developments in the vicinity of the site and in compliance with the newly adopted General Plan.

2. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings do not apply generally to other property in the same zone and vicinity. The subject site is capable of supporting the proposed 242 residential units with the proposed amenities, including the 5,000 sq. ft. recreational building and the future commercial daycare. The market rate efficiency units with the amenities proposed will appeal to residents who are unable to find such products available in the City of Coachella, furthermore, minimizing the number of parking stalls required form 514 to 445 stalls will encourage future residents to use alternative modes of transportation. The project represents a deviation of 15% , which is not a major deviation from the parking standards.

3. Such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use generally possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity, but which, because of such special circumstances and practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships would be denied to the property in question. Due to the physical size of the parcel, the proposed density, including the 525 square foot efficiency units, and the parking reduction from 514 to 445 stalls, as proposed with this project, the goals and objectives of the General Plan can be accomplished by granting the proposed variance. Denial of the variance would deny the applicant of a right enjoyed by nearby future owners.

4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity in which the property is located. The proposed 525 square foot efficiency units and the reduction of parking stalls from 514 to 445 stalls for the proposed development would be developed in accordance with other current development standards, which include, building setbacks, building heights, new landscaping, and fencing improvements and would not create any objectionable odors, light or glare onto adjoining properties. The project is intended to provide not only new residential units at market value, but employment opportunities and there will not be any negative effect to the public welfare or property or improvements in the area.

5. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect any element of the general plan. The proposed multi-family residential development would be consistent with land use, circulation and urban design elements of the General Plan. The proposed project will consist of 242 new residential units that will be in keeping with the Neighborhood Center of the General Plan. The current General Plan land use designation of Neighborhood Center envisions a concentration of commercial businesses and civic amenities often mixed with multi-family housing within 23 Item 2.

Resolution No. PC2024-26

The program shall also discuss legal protection status of each species, the definition of “take” under the Federal Endangered Species Act and California Endangered Species Act, measures the project proponent is implementing to protect the species, reporting requirements, specific measures that each worker shall employ to avoid take of wildlife species, and penalties for violation of the Federal Endangered Species Act or California Endangered Species Act.

10. To avoid disturbance of nesting and special-status birds, including raptor species protected by the MBTA and CFGC, activities related to the project including, but not limited to, vegetation removal, ground disturbance, and construction and demolition outside of the bird breeding season (February 1 through August 31), if feasible. If construction must begin during the breeding season, then a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to initiation of ground disturbance and vegetation removal activities.

The nesting bird pre-construction survey shall be conducted on foot inside the project boundary, including a 300-foot buffer for passerines (song birds) and 500-foot buffer for raptors in areas of suitable habitat. Inaccessible areas will be surveyed using binoculars to the extent practical. The survey shall be conducted by a biologist familiar with the identification of avian species known to occur in Riverside County. If nests are found, an avoidance buffer (dependent upon the species, the proposed work activity, and existing disturbances associated with land uses outside of the site) shall be determined and demarcated by the biologist with bright orange construction fencing, flagging, construction lathe, or other means to mark the boundary. If a raptor nest is observed in a tree proposed for removal, the applicant must consult with CDFW. All construction personnel shall be notified as to the existence of the buffer zone and to avoid entering the buffer zone during the nesting season. No ground disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer until the avian biologist has confirmed the breeding/nesting is completed and the young have fledge the nest.

Encroachment into the buffer shall occur only at the discretion of the qualified biologist.

Mitigation Measures – Cultural Resources:

11. In the event that potentially significant cultural resources are encountered during grounddisturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and a qualified cultural resource professional, who is both an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology, and a paleontologist in accordance with the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s 2010 Guidelines, must be contacted immediately to evaluate the find.

TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Adrian Moreno, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Galilee Center Thrift Store
SPECIFICS: Conditional Use Permit No. 383 for the thrift store use within a 2,610 SF tenant space at 49291 Grapefruit Boulevard, Unit #1. Applicant: Gloria Gomez STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. PC2024-25 approving Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) No. 383 to allow for the thrift store use at the Food 4 Less Shopping Center at 49291 Grapefruit
Boulevard, pursuant to the findings and conditions in the attached resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The Galilee Center Thrift Store has operated at the corner of Cesar Chavez Street and 6th Street since they were
approved for a CUP in 2012. The store sells a variety resale goods typical for a thrift store that include donated
clothing, furniture, kitchen items, and other resale
merchandise. The business proposes to relocate to the
“Food 4 Less” Coachella Gateway Shopping Center in unit #1 at 49291 Grapefruit Boulevard.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The project, Galilee Center Thrift Store, plans to relocate at the Food 4 Less Shopping Center in Unit #1, which is in between the Big 5 Sporting Goods store and the Family Furniture store. The Food 4 Less shopping Center is located within the G-C (General Commercial) zone which allows for the thrift store use with CUP approval. The floor plan for the proposed Galilee Center thrift store include a sales floor of approximately 2,310 SF, and an employee area of 300 SF.

The exterior appearance of the lease space frontage is in overall good condition with minor wear at the building exterior which is required to be repaired prior to occupancy as a condition of 107
Item 4.
approval for the project. The Food 4 Less Shopping Center has active code cases regarding unpermitted signage at the center. To ensure the thrift store business provides approved signage, the project conditions of approval require the business comply with the sign program at the commercial center and install illuminated individual channel lettering signage prior to occupancy.

As a condition of approval of this project, the business is prohibited from allowing donation drop off bins or exterior merchandise displays at the exterior of the building. Donations must occur during business hours.

Staff contacted Lieutenant Vasquez with the Riverside County Sheriff regarding any concerns for the proposed business that the Planning Commission may want to consider when making findings or include as conditions of approval for the CUP. Lieutenant Vasquez identified no concerns with the project. The conditions of approval were shared with the City Code Enforcement Manager, concerns regarding signage and exterior merchandise were implemented as conditions, and there were no further comments.

Hours of Operation:

The hours of operation for Galilee Center Thrift Store are Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Environmental Setting:

The subject business at 49291 Grapefruit Boulevard is within the Food 4 Less Shopping Center adjacent to the Grapefruit Boulevard commercial corridor surrounded by commercial and residential mobile home uses, with adjoining zoning and land uses as follows:

North: Commercial businesses including Santa Fe Restaurant / G-C (General Commercial) South: Coachella Mobile Homes Park / R-MH (Mobile Home) East: Commercial businesses including Big 5 Sporting Goods store / G-C (General Commercial)
West: Commercial businesses including Family Furniture store / G-C (General Commercial)
Parking:

For commercial uses, (1) parking space is required for each 250 square feet of gross floor area.

This is the standard parking standard for any general commercial use. The project at 2,610 SF requires 10 parking spaces. The existing shopping center parking lot provides adequate parking for this use.
108
Item 4.

Landscaping and Site Condition
On October 15, 2024 staff visited the property and observed that landscape around the property was overall in good condition and well maintained. The shopping center in which the tenant location is in was overall in good condition. At the date of the site visit, staff observed landscape crews conducting general landscape maintenance at the center. Staff observed that the street pavement condition was overall in good condition. The building exterior was overall in good condition with only minor surface level deterioration at building frontage. Due to the overall good condition of the center and leased space, staff is not requiring site improvement conditions other than small repairs for any visual damage at project frontage, prior to occupancy.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as “Existing Facilities” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301). The proposed project consists of the operation, licensing and minor alteration of an existing private commercial structure involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former commercial use on the property. The subject site has been used for commercial retail establishments and no exterior expansions are proposed.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-25 that approves CUP No. 383 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff.
2) Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-25 that approves CUP No. 383 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff with modifications as proposed by the Planning Commission.
3) Not approve Resolution No. PC 2024-25 and request that staff prepare a Planning Commission Resolution for denial of CUP No. 383.
4) Continue this item and provide staff and the applicant with direction.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis contained herein and the findings listed below, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve CUP No. 383 with the findings and conditions listed in Resolution No. PC2024-25.

Attachment 1
110
Item 4.

Section 3. Conditional Use Permit Findings
With respect to Conditional Use Permit No. 383, the Planning Commission finds as follows for the existing Galilee Center thrift store:

1. The proposed use will not be in conflict with, but will be in harmony with and in accordance with the objectives of the general plan because the proposed thrift store is within the Suburban Retail District land use designation according to the General Plan 2035, which allows the intended physical character to provide convenient access and parking for motorists while also providing an attractive shopping environment. The Galilee Center thrift store will provide a unique shopping service of resale merchandise to the Suburban Retail District and citywide that accomplish the goals of the General Plan.

2. The proposed use will be located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area because the proposed use is within a zoning designation of ‘C-G' (General Commercial) which permits the thrift store use subject to obtaining a conditional use permit. The proposed use is located on Grapefruit Boulevard and is compatible with the adjoining commercial uses and the conditional use permit can be revoked if any of the conditions of approval are violated.

3. Consideration has been given to harmony in scale, bulk, coverage and density, to the availability of public facilities and utilities, to harmful effect, if any, upon desirable neighborhood character, to the generation of traffic and the capacity of surrounding streets, and to any other relevant impact of development, because the existing commercial tenant space is within an existing commercial building with all infrastructure available on-site for the proposed thrift store use and the existing commercial parking lot.

4. Where the proposed use may be potentially hazardous or disturbing to existing or 111
Item 4.
reasonably expected neighboring uses, it must be justified by the common public interest as a benefit to the community as a whole. The Riverside County Sheriff indicated that there are no concerns about the operations of this establishment. The Sherriff’s Department does not recommend conditions related to public safety concerns. As such, there are no anticipated hazardous or disturbing effects to the existing and neighboring uses.

5. The proposed use provides vehicular approaches to the property designed for reasonable minimal interference with traffic on surrounding public streets or roads as the commercial center that the subject business is located in is already existing and traffic and vehicular approaches were already considered and approved by the City Engineer and the Planning Commission. The City of Coachella has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as an “Existing Facilities” project (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301a) as the proposed thrift store use will occur in an existing private commercial structure involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former commercial use on the property.

6. The Galilee Center thrift store establishment at the location will not adversely affect the economic welfare of the nearby community, but rather would retain the availability of jobs and continue to serve as a unique shopping service for the commercial corridor, which would continue to provide jobs and increase the City's sales tax revenues.

7. The exterior appearance of the structure of the proposed establishment will not be inconsistent with the exterior appearance of commercial structures already constructed or under construction within the immediate neighborhood so as to cause blight or deterioration, or substantially diminish or impair the property values within the neighborhood. The business is located within an existing private commercial structure.

STAFF REPORT
11/6/2024
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Adrian Moreno, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Variance No. 24-01 – Campos, Setback
SPECIFICS: Variance No. 24-01 is a request for a for five foot setback variance for an existing detached 263 SF patio structure constructed without a permit at 48552 Playa Del Amor Street. Applicant: Jesus Campos.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. PC 2024-24 denying Variance (VAR) No. 24-01, a request for a five foot setback variance that allows for a 263 SF accessory patio structure to remain as existing at a five foot setback from the main structure at 48552 Playa Del Amor Street.

BACKGROUND:

On July 20, 2021, the Code Enforcement Division opened
a case on the unpermitted patio structure. At the time, the patio construction was mostly complete except for roof
shingle installation. Code Enforcement requested that any work be discontinued and permit submission for the
proposed work. On May 10, 2022, the property owner
submitted a building permit and staff informed the
applicant of the 10-foot distance Zoning Ordinance
requirement between the accessory structure and main
structure. The applicant received eleven citations, only some of which have been paid. On October 10th, the
applicant met with city staff and the applicant submitted a variance application. See below history on the code
enforcement case.
 July 2021 - Code case opens
 July 2021 - January 2022 (6 months) – 8 warning notices  Jan. 2022 - May 2024 (17 months) – 11 citations
 May 2022 - Building permit application submitted
128
Item 5.
 Oct. 2024 - Variance application submitted
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The detached patio structure is a 21 ft x 12.5 ft structure, with a total 263 SF lot coverage. The subject parcel is 6,534 SF and the existing rear yard setback is 31 feet. The detached patio structure meets all Zoning Ordinance requirements as seen in Table 1 below, except for the minimum 10- foot setback requirement from other structures. The Zoning Ordinance Section 17.60.010 (F)(5) states that “except for side loaded garages, the wall planes or sides of an accessory structure must be a minimum of ten (10) feet from the sides or wall planes of any other structure, measured at right angles from the wall plane or sides of the accessory structure”.

VARIANCE FINDINGS:

The project does not meet the 5-foot setback requirement and the strict application of the code does not create an unnecessary hardship as the applicant could have constructed a patio that meets setback requirements. However, there is a special circumstance at the property where the east-west orientation of the home is inconsistent with general plan policy for energy conservation. The property is well constructed and aesthetically compatible to the neighborhood due to compatible tile roof. Fire had no concerns with the project and the attached building conditions would be required if the planning commission were to recommend approval of the variance.

The 10-foot setback requirement may have been established to reduce visual density, ensure open space in the rear yard, or for safety concerns. Staff finds that the reduced patio setback visually connects the patio to the main house reducing aesthetic impacts, open space in the rear yard is sufficiently protected by maximum rear yard lot coverage requirements, and building conditions for the project would ensure there would not be a safety concern with the approval of the variance.

Staff has determined that the project does not comply with Findings 1 and 3, however does comply with Findings 2, 4, and 5 of the criteria and requirements required by Section 17.76.020(B) to make the determination to grant a variance. Findings:
129
Item 5.

Finding 1 – That the strict application of the provisions of this chapter would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter the Coachella Municipal Code.

The strict application of the chapter does not create a practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. The code requires that the wall planes or sides of an accessory structure must be a minimum of (10) feet from the sides or wall planes of any other structure, measured at right angles from the wall plane or sides of the accessory structure. The strict application of the code would not result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships as the size and shape of the lot is typical for the neighborhood and within the S-N Suburban Neighborhood zone. The subject property is on a rectangular 6,534 SF lot where the average minimum required lot size is 5,000 SF in the zone. The lot width of the property is 63 feet in width and 110 feet in depth, where the minimum required lot width is 50 feet and minimum lot depth is 80 feet in the zone. The subject property has a rear yard sufficient in size at a 31-foot setback, where only a 20-foot rear yard setback is required in the zone. As detailed above, the residential lot complies with the development standards of the S-N zone and there is not a unique hardship due to the size or shape of the lot. The property rear yard provides sufficient space for the construction of a patio in compliance with the standards of the S-N zone and does not result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter of the Coachella Municipal Code.

Finding 2 – There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that do not apply generally to other property in the same zone and vicinity.

The subject property is oriented in an east-west orientation which is not at the recommended orientation for energy conservation per policy 5.10 of the Land Use and Community Charter of the General Plan which recommends lots at a north-west orientation. The east-west orientation of the lot creates a special circumstance that does not apply to all other properties in the same zone and vicinity.

Finding 3 – The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use generally possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity, but which, because of such special circumstances and practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships is denied to the property in question.

The variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use generally possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity as there are no practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship due to the size and shape of the lot.

As discussed in Finding 1, there are no practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the strict application of the municipal code. The strict application of the municipal code would not prevent the applicant from the enjoyment of a substantial property right, the construction of a patio that meets municipal code requirements. As discussed in Finding 2, the orientation of the lot is a special circumstance that negatively impacts energy 130
Item 5.
conservation of the home, which is compounded by the fact that the city of Coachella faces extreme heat and weather year round. However, as discussed in Finding 1, a patio constructed within the strict application of the municipal code may have similarly reduced the negative impacts of energy conservation.

Finding 4 – The granting of the proposed variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity in which the property is located.

The granting of the proposed variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity. The patio structure is located in the rear yard of the subject property, only visible from the public from the adjacent open space area to the south. The design of the patio structure provides a tile roof design and color palette that is compatible to the main residence and the surrounding neighborhood. The reduced setback visually connects the patio to the main house which reduces the aesthetic impact to the surrounding area. Together, the reduced setback and design of the patio is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area. The variance will not be materially detrimental to the property in question in regards to sufficient open space, as the code requires a maximum of 50% of the required rear yard to be covered by structures. This requirement protects open space in the rear yard.

If the variance were to be approved by the planning commission, the variance approval would be subject to the conditions required by the Building Division. The Building Division requires as a condition of approval that the patio meet California Building Standards by requiring a building permit and to make any necessary modifications. The Fire Department stated that setbacks are established by the City Building Division and had no further comments on the variance. The conditions of approval provided by the Building Division will ensure the variance is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone.

Finding 5 – The granting of the variance would not adversely affect any element of the General Plan, as the General Plan does not preclude accessory patio structures within a 5- foot setback or less from the main structure within the Suburban Neighborhood designation.

Environmental Setting:

The subject site is at 48552 Playa Del Amor Street within the Tierra Del Sol Subdivision, and the subject property is surrounded by Suburban Neighborhood (S-N) zone uses to the north, south, west, and east.

Agency Comments:

Staff received comments from the Fire and Building Department regarding the subject variance application. The Riverside County Fire Department identified that setbacks are established by the City Building Division and that there were no further comments for the project (Attachment 6). If the planning commission were to recommend for approval, the Building Division provided 131
Item 5.
conditions of approval which require a building permit, inspections, and to make any necessary modifications to the patio. The Building Official also stipulated that the patio structure complies with the required setbacks specified in Table R302.1 for exterior walls of the California Residential Code. Therefore, no additional fire rating is required. Staff concludes, per the comments received from the Fire and Building Departments, that granting of the proposed variance to maintain the patio as is, would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity in which the property is located.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act as “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303). The proposed project consists of the location of a small patio structure.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-24 denying Variance No. 2024-01 with the findings and conditions as recommended by Staff.
2) Not approve Resolution No. PC 2024-24 and request that staff prepare a Planning Commission Resolution for approval of Variance No. 24-01. 3) Continue this item and provide staff and the applicant with direction.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis contained herein and the findings listed below, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission deny Variance No. 24-01 with the findings listed in Resolution No.

PC2024-24.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Coachella, California does hereby deny Variance No. 24-01, subject to the findings listed below.

FINDINGS FOR DENIAL OF VARIANCE NO. 23-04:

1. The strict application of the chapter does not create a practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. The code requires that the wall planes or sides of an accessory structure must be a minimum of (10) feet from the sides or wall planes of any other structure, measured at right angles from the wall plane or sides of the accessory structure. The strict application of the code would not result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships as the size and shape of the lot is typical for the neighborhood and within the S-N Suburban Neighborhood zone. The subject property is on a rectangular 6,534 SF lot where the average minimum required lot size is 5,000 SF in the zone. The lot width of the property is 63 feet in width and 110 feet in depth, where the minimum required lot width is 50 feet and minimum lot depth is 80 feet in the zone. The subject property has a rear yard sufficient in size at a 31-foot setback, where only a 20-foot rear yard setback is required in the zone. As detailed above, the residential lot complies with the development standards of the SN zone and there is not a unique hardship due to the size or shape of the lot. The property rear yard provides sufficient space for the construction of a patio in compliance with the standards of the S-N zone and does not result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter of the Coachella Municipal Code.

2. The subject property is oriented in an east-west orientation which is not at the recommended orientation for energy conservation per policy 5.10 of the Land Use and Community Charter of the General Plan which recommends lots at a north-west orientation. The east-west orientation of the lot creates a special circumstance that does not apply to all other properties in the same zone and vicinity.

3. The variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use generally possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity as there are no practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship due to the size and shape of the lot. As discussed in Finding 1, there are no practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the strict application of the municipal code. The strict application of the municipal code would not prevent the applicant from the enjoyment of a substantial property right, the construction of a patio that meets municipal code requirements. As discussed in Finding 2, the orientation of the lot is a special circumstance that negatively impacts energy conservation of the home, which is compounded by the fact that the city of Coachella faces extreme heat and weather year round. However, as discussed in Finding 1, a patio constructed within the strict application of the municipal code may have similarly reduced the negative impacts of energy conservation.

4. The granting of the proposed variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity. The patio structure is located in the rear yard of the subject property, only visible from the public from the adjacent open space area to the south. The design of the patio structure provides a tile roof design and color palette that is compatible to the main residence and the surrounding neighborhood. The reduced setback visually connects the patio to the main house which reduces the aesthetic impact to the surrounding area. Together, the reduced setback and design of the patio is aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area. The variance will not be materially detrimental to the property in question in regards to sufficient open space, as the code requires a maximum of 50% of the required rear yard to be covered by structures. This requirement protects open space in the rear yard. If the variance were to be approved by the planning commission, the variance approval would be subject to the conditions required by the Building Division. The Building Division requires as a condition of approval that the patio meet California Building Standards by requiring a building permit and to make any necessary modifications. The Fire Department stated that setbacks are established by the City Building Division and had no further comments on the variance. The conditions of approval provided by the Building Division will ensure the variance is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same zone. 134
