19 Item 2.
13 CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN
The project site is within the Regional Retail District land use designation and is intended to provide a wide range of shopping and entertainment in a variety of urban and suburban formats.
These includes regional shopping centers, mixed destination centers or similar uses. The uses allowed in this designation will cater to regional clientele and provide a unique amenity to all residents of the Coachella Valley and an important revenue source for the City. The primary purpose of the District is to provide for commercial opportunities, with residential uses supporting the retail environment. The land use designation in this area was established in anticipation of development of big box regional commercial development, though the feasibility of big box retail development as a primary destination for buying goods has decreased with the popularity of online purchasing.
The fundamental character of these neighborhoods is defined by high-branching deciduous trees along pedestrian-oriented streets. Sound walls and other similar barriers should be avoided.
Allowed land uses include residential land uses at a development intensity of 10-15 DU/AC.
The Encanto project proposes 192 single family homes on a 19.2-acre site that equates to a net density of 10 du/acre. Staff believes that establishing housing at this site would still accommodate regional commercial to the South and increase the viability of the commercial uses with the construction of nearby homes. The project meets the general plan density requirements and meets the design standards for network connectivity, street design, parks and open space and urban form guidelines.
20 Item 2.
14 CONSISTENCY WITH ZONING
The project site is currently zoned Regional Commercial Planned Unit Development (R-C-PUD), which implements the Regional Retail District land use designation of the General Plan. The project modifications are in compliance with Chapter 17.38 PUD Planned Unit Development standards. The R-C zone permits a minimum density of 10 dwelling units per acre, and the proposed project modification requests minimum lot size of 2,500 square feet with a minimum interior lot width of 44 feet and minimum lot depth of 60 feet. The proposed minimum front yard requirement is 18’ to garage and 7’ to livable area or porch. The proposed rear yard setback is an average of 10 feet but no less than 8 feet. The applicant proposes a minimum side setback of 4 feet. The applicant proposes minimum 19’ x 19’interior garage space at 361 square feet. These requests from the applicant differ from the allowed zoning development standards, which is why the Applicant is using the Planned Unit Development provisions (Section 17.38) of the Municipal Code in order to utilize flexible development standards.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of this Planned Unit Development (PUD) document is to set the use regulations, development standards, and design guidelines for the Encanto Housing Development Project, applicable to the respective underlying Residential Suburban (R-S) Zoning District. The PUD will provide the necessary development criteria to guide the developer and homebuilders in the design and construction of the residential structures, open space, and associated amenities and the City of Coachella with the review criteria for the approval of entitlements and permits.
The Encanto Housing Development is a private, residential community encompassing 192 residential lots, pedestrian walkways, and 2 open spaces on approximately 19.2 acres. The PUD serves to implement the City of Coachella’s General Plan and Zoning by specifying specific land uses, intensity of use, and development standards which are consistent with General Plan goals, objectives, and policies and achieve their protocols of the City of Coachella.
The proposed development plan has been derived from studies prepared by the applicant’s civil engineer, architect, traffic engineer, land planners, and other consultants; and has been reviewed by the City of Coachella. As a result, the plan addresses development related to issues in the form of proposed physical improvements, guidelines for future development, technical data, and implementation procedures and regulations.
Pulte will partner with the City of Coachella to meet the demand for attainable housing with new and tailored floor plans along with mindful neighborhood amenities to encourage homeownership.
Progressive Spanish, Desert Contemporary, and Desert Ranch architectural stylings will provide aesthetic diversity while aligning with the city of Coachella. The incorporated design elements create a modern interpretation that respects traditional architecture. The homes and neighborhood design encompass environmentally responsive, culturally relevant, and functional elements that benefit both the immediate and greater community.
1.2 Project Location
From a regional perspective, the project area is located in the Coachella Valley within the incorporated City Limits of Coachella as shown in Exhibit 1, Regional Location Map. Locally, the project site is bounded by vacant, undeveloped land to the west and south, an elementary school (Coral Mountain Academy) to the north, and Van Buren Street to the east, with agricultural land uses just beyond the roadway. The project site is shown in Exhibit 2, Vicinity Map. The 19.2 acre site consists of APN 779-360-001.
1.3 Project Summary
The project consists of a 192-lot residential development on an approximately 19.2 acre undeveloped site at the southwest corner of Van Buren Street and Frida Way in the City of Coachella. The development proposes 2,500 square foot minimum lot sizes and includes a common park, internal roads, on-site landscaping and retention, and common open space.

2.MODIFICATIONS TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
Development within Encanto Housing Development is required to substantially conform to the physical characteristics and design concepts set forth in this Planned Unit Development (PUD). The City has the discretion to determine if implementing actions substantially conform to the development standards in this document. If an implementing action does not substantially conform, a formal modification to this PUD may be required. The process required to modify the PUD will require a modification to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) associated with the PUD. The process to modify a CUP is outlined in Section
17.74.020 of the City of Coachella Development Code.
3.ADMINISTRATION
3.1 Planned Unit Development
Upon its approval/adoption, the Encanto Housing Development, as approved by the City of Coachella City Council, will become the primary document governing land use regulations. The Encanto Housing Development PUD has development standards and land use regulations that will replace the corresponding standards in the City of Coachella’s Municipal Code. Where the Planned Unit Development does not address a standard or subject, the applicable City code and/or ordinance shall apply. The Corresponding Conditional Use Permit for the Encanto Housing Development shall run with the property once the project is built and is transferrable to future owners of the property.
Per section 17.74.050, the Conditional Use Permit shall expire and shall become void one year following the date on which the conditional use became effective, unless prior to the expiration of one year a building permit is issued and construction is commenced and diligently pursued toward completion, or a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Per section 17.74.050, prior to the expiration of the Conditional Use Permit, the property owner may renew the CUP for three one-year time extensions only if an application stating reasons for renewal is filed prior to one year after the effective date of the conditional use approval by the planning commission.
In the event that the planning commission actsto approve a time extension for the conditional use permit, the planning commission may impose any reasonable conditions on the conditional use permit as a condition of the time extension, provided a modification to the conditional use permit is processed. In the event that such additional conditions are not acceptable to the applicant and/or owner, the planning commission shall deny the time extension request.
3.2 lnterpretation
Unless otherwise provided, should ambiguities occur concerning the content and appropriate application of the Encanto Housing Development PUD, said ambiguities shall be resolved by the Development Services Director or equivalent of the City of Coachella or their designee, in a manner most consistent with the intent, goals and policies set forth in the Encanto Housing Development PUD and the City’s General Plan as outlined in Section 17.70.080. The Director’s decision is appealable to the Design and Development Director and or Planning Commission in accordance with City of Coachella Municipal Code.
3.3 lmplementation Program
According to Government Code 65451 of the California Planning Law, the Encanto Housing Development PUD shall include a program for implementation including regulations, conditions, programs, and additional measures as necessary to carry out the plan. In response to this requirement, the Implementation Program is the PUD and Mitigated Negative Declaration. 66 Item 2.

4. PROJECT SETTING
4.1 Existing Site Characteristics
The subject property is currently undeveloped, consisting of semi-disturbed natural desert areas. The property is generally flat with a gentle eastern slope from approximately 59 feet below sea level at the eastern end of the property to 53 feet below sea level in the west. Scattered, low lying desert scrub vegetation islocated throughout the site. Information regarding soil type, groundwater levels, earthquake faultsin the region and other pertinent environmental conditions are evaluated in the project Initial Study.
Environmentalstudiesthat have been prepared for this plan include:
• Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas and Energy Impact Study
• Biological Resources Assessment
• Cultural Resource Investigation
• Geotechnical Engineering Report
• Noise Impact Study
• Paleontological Resource Assessment
• Preliminary Hydrology Report
• Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan
• Traffic Analysis
4.2 Surrounding Land Use
Asshown in Exhibit 4, Existing Land Uses, the Coral Mountain Academy elementary school islocated along the northern border of the project site. Access to the school is taken from Frida Way, which borders the project’s northern boundary. We have proposed to provide a sidewalk on the southern side of Frida Way, that will abut the northern parcels of Encanto Housing Development.
To the south and west, the project site is bordered by vacant, undeveloped land. Beyond the southern bordering parcel are three (3)single-family homes. To the west, the parcel is bordered by Van Buren Street and then agricultural uses beyond the street.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
4.3 Existing General Plan and Zoning
The project site is currently zoned Neighborhood Suburban (S-N) District. The Residential Suburban District is intended to provide areas within the city where development is limited to low-density concentrations of single-family dwellings, and to stabilize and protect the residential character of such areas. It has the further purpose of the provision of community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment and to minimize traffic congestion and to avoid an overload of utilities designed to service only low-density residential uses. The provisions of this zone are intended to encourage a suitable environment for family life through the regulation of densities of development, yards, fencing, heights and similar aspects of development.
The project site is designated as Regional Retail District in the City of Coachella General Plan. The Regional Retail District is intended to provide commercial opportunities, with residential uses supporting the retail environment with a residential density of 10-15 units per acre.
The project site is located within the Van Buren Corridor Subarea 3 in the City of Coachella General Plan.
This subarea is intended to transform the areas along Van Buren Street from Avenue 50 to 53 into an area of diverse mix of pedestrian oriented retail and services along the Van Buren Corridor to serve neighboring residential neighborhoods. The proposed project will provide a residential buffer between the existing school and any future commercial uses. Once this subarea has been fully built out, residents of Encanto Housing Development will be within walking distance of retail and public services.
4.4 Proposed Zoning
The entitlements for this project include Planned Unit Development Overlay (PD-Overlay) (see Exhibit 7) to the Residential Suburban (R-S) District (see Exhibit 5). The Planned Unit Development Overlay (PD-Overlay) will allow for the development of Encanto Housing Development to provide higher standards of development, operation, light, air, safety, convenience, and aesthetics, than if developed under the underlying Suburban Neighborhood (S-N) District. 68 Item 2.

5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project (Encanto) will consist of approximately 192 single-family homes and associated site improvements on a currently vacant 19.2 acre property (APN 779-360-001) located in the City of Coachella, Riverside County, California. The project site is located west of Van Buren Street and between 51st Avenue and 52nd Avenue. (See Exhibit 3, Site Plan). The development proposes 2,500 square foot minimum lot sizes and includes a common park, internal roads, on-site landscaping and retention, and common open space. The development proposes 192-lots each to have single family homes. However, future owners can have accessory dwelling units (ADU) as allowed by state and local requirements. Pulte homes is looking to partner with the Cty of Coachella to meet the demand in affordable housing in alignment with their adopted 2035 General Plan. The State of California has declared, “the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order.” In addition, the government and private sector should make an effort to provide a diversity of housing opportunities and accommodate regional housing needs through a cooperative effort, while maintaining a responsibility toward economic, environmental, fiscal factors, and community goals within the General Plan.
PURPOSE - The State of California has declared, “the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order.” In addition, the government and private sector should make an effort to:
Provide a diversity of housing opportunities and accommodate regional housing needs through a cooperative effort, while maintaining a responsibility toward economic, environmental, fiscal factors, and community goals within the General Plan.
• Incorporated the city’s desire for homes with three or more bedrooms which are suitable to house large households.
• Development of housing suitable for families with children, with family members requiring assistance, and multigenerational families.
• Encourage and where feasible incentivize developers to construct new units that include a full bathroom and bedroom on the first floor.
Pulte has developed customized floor plans and elevations specifically for this site to meet the goals above and provide attractive and affordable homes to the future residents of Coachella. The City of Coachella fits this demographic since they have many intergenerational families. Beyond customized home designs, Pulte Homes incorporated the use of innovative land use techniques and construction methods to maintain homeownership affordability while promoting basic health, safety, and aesthetic considerations.
The homes provide three or more bedrooms, suitable to house large households. We carefully considered housing suitable for families with children, with family members requiring assistance, and multigenerational families. Housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community. Plans range from 2,165 to 2,466 square feet including garages . They start at 3 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths and go up to 5 bedrooms with 3 baths. Two of the three plans were designed with bedrooms and full baths on the first floor.
To provide aesthetic diversity we have selected 3 unique and transitional elevation styles -Progressive Spanish, Desert Contemporary, and Desert Ranch with 3 separate color pallets for each series with 3 color selections for each – totaling 27 different home configurations for this community. Many design elements that were considered to create a modern interpretation that respects traditional aesthetics. Outlined below are some key design guidelines elements for each style.
The Project is in the Regional Retail District of the General Plan which allows a mix of residential and commercial land uses. This District allows high-density residential with commercial uses. The residential 74 Item 2.

7.3 Building and Façade Design Standards
Encanto will have three types of architecture as described below and referenced Exhibit 10.
Progressive Spanish
• Utilize traditional materials like tiles, decorative accents, and stucco to ensure a harmonious blend of old and new materials to create visual interest.
• Maintaining the iconic sloped S tile roofs, but experiment with modern shapes, textures, and profiles. The addition of score lines and roof eave details create visual interest • Rectangular windows utilize large glass panels to invite natural light and blur indoor-outdoor boundaries.
Our goal was to create elevations that are progressive yet respectful of Spain's rich architectural heritage, ensuring that modern designs enhance rather than overshadow traditional aesthetics.
Desert Contemporary
• Embrace modern, clean lines with simple geometric shapes, avoiding overly ornate elements. Low pitched roofs to complement the aesthetic.
• Utilize materials like flat tiles, scored stucco accents painted different than the body colors, and stucco to ensure a to create visual interest.
• Integrated local l elements and architectural styles into the design. Drawing from regional influences can create a sense of place and identity.
Our goal was to create desert contemporary structures that are not only visually striking but also environmentally responsive and culturally relevant, providing comfort and functionality in challenging climates.
Desert Ranch
• Desert Ranch architectural style incorporates elements that harmonize with the arid landscape while ensuring functionality and comfort. Here are some key design guidelines:
• Utilization of natural weather-resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures like stacked stone, stucco, cementitious board and batt siding, and corbels that blend with the surroundings.
• stucco accents painted different body colors to provide more visual diversity Our goal was to create designs that enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of desert ranch architecture while respecting the unique environment.

All residential structures shall have eave and gable overhangs of not less than twenty (12) inches measured from the vertical side of the residential structure, varied roof forms, including changes in roof height, offsets, change in direction of roof slope Entryways
Dwelling units that abut a public right-of-way shall orient the primary entryway toward the public street Articulation and Façade Modulation.
All building elevations that face a street shall employ varied façade articulation of wall surfaces and design interest. Plans incorporated a minimum setback of 18’ to garage from property line. The livable portion of the homes varies from 7 feet to livable up to 11 feet. This will provide visual interest and layering to the front facade.
Variation in texture or material, provided all exterior wall textures and materials are consistent with the overall architectural style of the dwelling. Each home shall incorporate diverse style of facades. This encompasses unique front door, garage doors and coach lights per architectural style. Architectural Variability. For all developments involving five or more contiguous lots, there shall be multiple "distinctly different" front façade designs. No more than two houses shall be of the same front façade design as any other house directly adjacent along the same block face and side of the street. Mirror images of the same configuration do not meet the intent of "distinctly different." "Distinctly different" shall mean that a singlefamily dwelling's elevation must differ from other house elevations.
7.4 Signs
Signage will be submitted to the Community Development Director or their designee for final approval and will provide the specifics to include the following:
Signage should be designed with appropriate scale and proportion and should relate visually to buildings and surroundings.
• Signs colors, materials, and lighting should be restrained and harmonious with the building and site to which it principally relates.
• The number of graphic elements on a sign should be limited to the necessary minimum and should be composed in proportion to the area of the sign face. • Each sign should be compatible with signs on adjoining premises and should not compete for attention.
• The type, location, height and size of signs shall be determined as a part of the permit and shall relate to the location and design of the PUD.

PRMMP prepared for the Project. Typically,
fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single
paleontologist and not disrupt construction
activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as
complete skeletons or large mammal fossils)
require more extensive excavation and longer
salvage periods. In this case the paleontologist

Project Justification Statement
Encanto Housing Development – Planned Unit Development (PUD) a. How the proposed development is superior to what is permitted by the underlying zone; The underlying General Neighborhood (G-N) zoning designation allows for medium- to high-density residential development. If developed conventionally under base zoning, the site could result in a standard tract subdivision without coordinated open space, setbacks, sidewalks, amenities, or enhanced public improvements.
The PUD provides a superior outcome by:
• Providing Open space along Van Buren Street.
• Providing Parking for guests to prevent clutter in front yards. • Providing needed housing to the City.
• Designing a walkable internal circulation system with sidewalks that connect directly to Coral Mountain Academy and Van Buren Street.
• Providing flexible lot standards that allow for attainable housing while maintaining potential for high-quality architecture, landscaping, and open space. b. How the proposed project conforms to Chapter 17.38 – Planned Unit Developments The project satisfies the intent of Chapter 17.38 by:
• Establishing custom development standards and design guidelines tailored to the site while remaining consistent with the General Plan.
• Demonstrating superior site design and amenities compared to the base zone, including coordinated landscaping, open space, and pedestrian circulation improvements. • Providing defined public benefits as required by Section 17.38.035, including on-site public amenities, off-site infrastructure improvements, and contributions to community livability. • Utilizing the PUD process to achieve flexibility in lot size and setbacks while ensuring compatibility with adjacent neighborhoods through perimeter landscaping, and walls. c. Exceptions to the underlying zoning regulations being requested and why they are necessary; The PUD seeks modest exceptions from the G-N standards to allow for a more efficient and attainable neighborhood design. These include:
• Minimum lot size 2,700 sq. ft. (vs. 4,000 sq. ft. required). • Lot depth: 60 ft. (vs. 90 ft. required).
• Side yard setback: 4 ft. (vs. 10 ft. required).
• Rear yard setback: 10 ft. (vs. 20 ft. required).

Palm Desert, CA 92260
760.346.4750 Tel
760.340.0089 Fax
www.thealtumgroup.com
These adjustments are necessary in the PUD to:
• Provide a broad range of housing types on smaller lots, consistent with General Plan goals of supporting attainable and diverse housing opportunities. • Achieve a more efficient subdivision layout while preserving required parking, private yard space, and open space.
• Enable the project to contribute additional land and resources toward public benefits (park, landscaping, street and infrastructure improvements).
d. Public benefit provided that justifies exceptions to underlying zoning standards; The project provides multiple, tangible public benefits that offset the requested zoning exceptions:
1. Open Space (1.14 acres) of open space with two gazebos that will be in the preserved open space adjacent to retention basin
2. Van Buren Street Improvements (665 frontage linear feet, Total Improvement length 1,060 feet) – Half-street improvements including new pavement, curb, gutter, undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, full street section striping, new streetlights, and a detached 6-foot sidewalks and landscaped parkway.
3. Provision of four parking areas to prevent front yards from being cluttered.
4. Provision of 10-foot Access Easement to Coral Mountain Academy
5. Stormwater Infrastructure – Construction of an above-ground retention basin adjacent to Van Buren Street to capture and retain 100% of off-site stormwater flows, providing a local benefit that supports future growth beyond the project site.
Collectively, the open space, street improvements, off-site stormwater facilities, and enhanced landscaping exceed the baseline requirements. These improvementsrepresent substantial public benefits that justify the requested deviations from the base zoning and demonstrate compliance with the purpose and intent of the City’s Planned Unit Development ordinance. 247

STAFF REPORT
11/19/2025
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Anahi Fernandez, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Resolution No. PC2025-19: Request for Conditional Approval of the Conditional Use Permit (Modification) application for Las Damas retail cannabis business and lounge to modify the existing use from a retail cannabis microbusiness with an indoor lounge to cannabis retail only with an indoor consumption lounge at 85995 Grapefruit Blvd. and determining that the proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Applicant: Las Damas, LLC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution No. PC2025-19 approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 298 Modification modifying the existing use from a retail cannabis microbusiness and indoor cannabis lounge to a cannabis retail business and indoor cannabis lounge, removing cannabis manufacturing and distribution.
BACKGROUND:
The above referenced application is proposed in an
existing commercial building at the NW corner of
Grapefruit Blvd and 7th Street as illustrated on the aerial photograph.
On November 13, 2019, the City Council approved CUP
No. 298 to convert an existing commercial tenant space
into a retail cannabis microbusiness that included
storefront retail, distribution, manufacturing, and an
indoor cannabis lounge. The tenant space has been
unoccupied since March 6, 2025. The new tenant is
modifying the current use of the site to only include
cannabis retail and an indoor cannabis lounge, removing manufacturing and distribution uses.
248
Item 3.
The photograph below is the existing building from Grapefruit Blvd. The cannabis retail business will be on the left side of the building and the existing Coachella Bar is located on the right side.
There is no interior or exterior access between the two uses.
The photograph below is looking at the side of the building from 7th Street.
Overview of the Las Damas, LLC Retail Cannabis Business (CUP 298 MOD) The project proposes a retail cannabis business consisting of the following uses as shown on the floor plan below:
• Approximately 400 square feet of retail cannabis showroom display. • Approximately 455 square feet as an indoor cannabis lounge that includes on-site consumption of cannabis products.
• Approximately 265 square feet for office and receiving space. 249
Item 3.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 298 require new awnings above the windows and new signage satisfactory to the Development Services Director. These requirements will remain as part of CUP No. 298 modification.

Pursuant to Coachella Municipal Code Sections 17.74 and 17.84.030, Conditional Uses and Retail Cannabis Businesses, changes in state license type, business owner, or operation will require an amendment to the approved conditional use permit and must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission must make the following findings for Conditional Use Permit modification approval:
250
Item 3.
1. The Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation measures of the Coachella General Plan 2035.
The proposed project is within the Downtown Center land use designation of the General Plan 2035 Land Use Element. The project is consistent with the development intensity permitted by the Downtown Center land use category. The Downtown Center allows for a mixed use of commercial, civic, and residential uses, providing spaces for gatherings and unique local goods.
2. The project is in compliance with the applicable land use regulations and development standards of the City’s Zoning Code.
The project is consistent with the land use regulations and development standards of the City’s Zoning Code. The site plans proposes a cannabis retail business including an indoor consumption lounge where cannabis products will be sold and consumed. The Project complies with applicable DT-PV (Downtown) zoning standards as proposed.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines.
The proposed project is 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 project site is within the Downtown Center land use designation of the City’s General Plan. This category provides a broad spectrum of commercial and residential land uses. The proposed uses are compatible with existing adjacent land uses.
4. The 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 no significant changes to the exterior of the building. The building consists of a neutral color palette with variations of tan and white which is consistent with neighboring commercial properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City of Coachella, as Lead Agency, has reviewed the Project pursuant to: 1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(k) – General Concepts, outlining the three-step process for determining which document to prepare for a project subject to CEQA; and 2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 – Review for Exemption, which provides procedures for determining if a project is exempt from CEQA. It can be seen with certainty that implementing the Project would not cause a significant adverse effect on the environment because the Project will not expand the existing use. The site is consistent with the City of Coachella’s General Plan land use and zoning designation, and can be adequately served by existing utilities and public services. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. Further, there is no substantial evidence indicating that any of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 – Exceptions apply to the project. 251
Item 3.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:
A public hearing notice for the Project was published in the Desert Sun, the newspaper of record, on November 9, 2025, and a public hearing notice was mailed to property owners within a radius of 300 feet of the subject property on November 5, 2025, pursuant to Section 17.70.050(F) of the Coachella Municipal Code. At the time of issuance of this staff report, staff had not received public comments on this application.

FINDINGS:
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW:
Each determination granting architectural review approval shall be supported by written findings of fact showing how the determination meets the following criteria and requirements:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan; The proposed project is consistent with the general plan. The proposed project is within the Downtown Center land use designation of the General Plan 2035 Land Use and Community Character Element. The Downtown Center is intended to bring the entire community together in a one-of-a-kind Coachella Center, which allows for commercial uses. The General Plan allows for a residential density of 20-65 dwelling units/acre and a Floor Area Ratio of 0.5-3 for commercial uses. The project proposes a density of 62 dwelling units per acre and is thereby consistent with the General Plan. The project is consistent with the policies of the Land Use and Community Character's Sub-Area #2 policies, which recognize that Downtown is the heart of the City where mixed use development is encouraged and creates a new gateway to downtown near intersection of Sixth Street and Cesar Chavez Street.
2.The proposed project complies with zoning regulations; The proposed project complies with zoning regulations. The proposed project complies with the zoning regulations of Chapter 17.18 of the Coachella Municipal Code and the design regulations of Chapter 17.20 Objective Design Standards for Multi-Family Residential. The project is in compliance with Chapter 17.76 Variance Ordinance, for those municipal code and design standards requested as part of this project that include a design variance, open space variance, and covered parking variance.
268
Item 4.
3.The proposed project is consistent with the city's design guidelines; The proposed project is consistent with the city's design guidelines. As noted in Architectural Review Finding #2 above, the proposed project is developed in accordance Chapter 17.76 Variance Ordinance in order to provide a design that includes a variance from city’s design guidelines for vertical modulation, horizontal modulation, and roofs.
4.The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity; and The proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity as the project, a mixed-use residential development that includes first floor commercial uses is which is consistent with general plan guidelines for the Downtown Center general plan designation that recognizes the area will include mixed-use buildings. Further, the proposed mixed-use is compatible with the existing Pueblo Viejo Villas development to the north and the Covalda Apartments to the west. The proposed use is not known to create detrimental effects to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity.
5.The proposed project is located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area.
The proposed project is located, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and shall not change the essential character of the same area. The proposed use is compatible with the existing Pueblo Viejo Villas development to the north and the Covalda Apartments to the west. The proposed use is also compatible with the existing single-family residential uses to the south, and the existing commercial buildings to the north and east as the project and the adjacent uses are permitted uses in the DT-PV zone.
VARIANCE:
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 applicant requests design variances from design standards in subsections from Section
17.20.015(a) – Vertical Modulation to allow for more than maximum required three building heights and primary facades to comprise of more than 80 percent of the total façade area, Section
17.20.015(c) – Horizontal Modulation to allow for recesses and projection less than the minimum required 10 feet in depth, and Section 17.20.015(d) – Roof to allow for roofs that are not flat, open space variance from private and common open space standards in subsections from Section
17.18.030(a) - Usable Open Space Standards, and a covered parking variance from subsections 269
Item 4.
from Section 17.54.010(4)(a)(2) – Covered Parking Requirements for covered parking requirements.
The design variances are necessary as the strict application of the provisions of the municipal code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter to meet both the Pueblo Viejo Design Guidelines as required by Section
17.18.030(F) to meet Section 17.20 Objective Design Standards and to meet the design guidelines of the City of Coachella Multi-Family Objective Design Standards for residential development.
Policies #1 and #2 of Subarea 2 – Downtown include direction to actively facilitate the implementation of the Pueblo Viejo Plan, and to ensure new development does not conflict with the Pueblo Viejo Plan. Land Use and Community Charter Policy 6.2 includes guidance to follow the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan for the Downtown. Per the guidance of the general plan, the project provides massing and articulation elements that include changes in vertical modulation elements and horizontal modulation elements within every 35 feet per the guidance of Section
3.6.3.1 Massing and Articulation of the Pueblo Viejo Plan Design Guidelines. The project also provides gable roof design that is in conformance with the sloped roof design allowed per the guidance of Section 3.3.1.3 – Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture Roofs of the Pueblo Viejo Plan Design Guidelines. The city finds that the project meets the intention of the general plan guidelines for the Downtown Zone.
The open space variance is necessary as the strict application of the provisions of the municipal code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter to meet the requirements of Section 17.18.030(a) - Usable Open Space Standards due to the size constraints of a small less than 1 acre lot at .86-acres lot. The practical difficulties that may occur if the applicant were to provide 150 SF of total private open space per unit and 10 feet per unit of common recreational open space would require a total accommodation of 8,480 SF of floor space dedicated to open space for the project to meet municipal code requirements. For comparison, the average floor plan square footage for the project is approximately 12,300 SF. This would require the project to remove required parking spaces, major site plan modifications that may require the construction of a parking structure to accommodate the additional square footage required to accommodate the private open space requirement, or provide an additional building story. This is a major hardship for a small less than one acre parcel. The project is required to provide development impact fees that contribute to park land and park improvement space, and the project is located within a .5 mile of Veteran’s Park, Dateland Park, and the 9th Street Park that is under construction at this time which would provide sufficient open space for the project. This is in compliance with the Parks and Open Space guidelines of the Downtown Center general plan designation, where in limited instances mini parks and neighborhood parks would also be acceptable. The city finds that the several parks within a .5 mile distance of the project provides sufficient open space for the project. 270
Item 4.
The covered parking variance is necessary as the strict application of the provisions of the municipal code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the chapter to provide covered parking due to the constraints in size of the less than one acre site and proposed parking lot to meet municipal code parking requirements. The general plan and Pueblo Viejo Design Guidelines do not provide guidelines on covered parking in the zone.
2.That 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;
As indicated in Variance Finding #1, the small less than one acre parcel is a special circumstance for the proposed mixed use senior housing development and due to its size, there is a constraint in meeting open space, design, and covered parking requirements listed above. The small parcel does not allow for the inclusion of open space on the property. However, there are nearby parks that future residents could utilize. The proposed design cannot add additional depth because the building design would need to be expanded and this is not feasible on a parcel that is less than one acre in size. The proposed project is exempt from parking requirements per SB35.
3.That 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 is denied to the property in question;
As indicated in Variance Finding #1 and Finding #2, the small less than one acre parcel is a special circumstance for the proposed mixed use senior housing development to provide safe, affordable, and healthy housing for every stage of life indicated as a broad goal per the Community Health and Wellness and as indicated by Community Health and Wellness Policy 2.6 to encourage the development of senior housing.
4.That the granting of such 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, and;
The granting of the variance that includes variance from design standards, open space requirements, and covered parking requirements are not anticipated to 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.
5.That the granting of the variance will not adversely effect any element of the general plan. 271
Item 4.
As indicated in Variance Finding #1, the design variance, open space variance, and covered parking variance does not adversely affect any element of the general plan.
Architecture
The applicant proposes a Spanish Colonial Revival design that is similar to the design styles of the existing Pueblo Viejo Villas and Covalda Apartments immediately adjacent to the proposed project. The building roofline design integrates a flat roof line for the 1st floor commercial retail spaces and provides a mix of flat and gable rooflines for the residential floors. The gable roofline has concrete tile roof. The project has six different roof lines that include at the 3rd floor a roof height at approximately 38’ to the flat roofline and 41’ to the gable roof line, and the 4th floor provides a roof height at 49’ to the flat roofline, 51’ to the first gable roof line, 54’ 6” to the 2nd gable roof line, and 58’ to the top roof line. Per the Objective Design Standards Ordinance, gable roof designs are prohibited and a maximum of four roof lines are allowed. The applicant submitted a Variance from these design standards as part of this project, and the design of the roofline is consistent with the Pueblo Viejo Design Guidelines and consistent with the direction city council provided on May 24, 2024.
The project integrates articulation features that include decorative foam tile and a prominent stucco line at the top of the residential gable roof towers. All windows are recessed 2 inches from the façade, and some windows integrate shutters, awnings, stucco trim pop-out, or a Juliet balcony.
Commercial tenant spaces feature a metal awning, and the main entrances on all elevations provide a 5-foot recess that provides a covered entrance design.
The project does provide vertical modulation with two primary heights being the 3rd and 4th floors, and the project does provide horizontal modulation that includes an approximately 6-foot recess between the primary façade and secondary façade elevation.

Consistency with General Plan and Zoning
The project site is currently zoned Downtown (DT-PV) which implements the Downtown Center land use designation of the General Plan. The DT-PV zone permits mixed use development. The Downtown Center is intended to bring the entire community together in a one-of-a-kind Coachella Center, which allows for commercial uses. The General Plan allows for a residential density of 20-65 dwelling units/acre and a Floor Area Ratio of 0.5-3 for commercial uses. The project proposes a density of 62 dwelling units per acre and is thereby consistent with the General Plan.
The project is consistent with the policies of the Land Use and Community Character's Sub-Area #2 policies, which recognize that Downtown is the heart of the City where mixed use development is encouraged and creates a new gateway to downtown near intersection of Sixth Street and Cesar Chavez Street. The project is compliant with municipal code standards, and in compliance with Chapter 17.76 – Variances.
CEQA
The City of Coachella, as Lead Agency, has reviewed the Project pursuant to: 1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(k) – General Concepts, outlining the three-step process for determining which document to prepare for a project subject to CEQA; and 2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 – Review for Exemption, which provides procedures for determining if a project is exempt from CEQA. It can be seen with certainty that implementing the Project would not cause a significant adverse effect on the environment because the Project will be constructing a four-story 53 affordable senior apartment units, 4,375 square feet of commercial space, 1,100 square foot community room, and associated improvements on a heavily disturbed and currently vacant 0.86- acre lot (APN #778-113-001 and -002) at the southeast corner of Tripoli Ave. and 6th St. The site does not serve as a viable habitat for wildlife and is consistent with the City of Coachella’s General Plan land use and zoning designation, and can be adequately served by existing utilities and public services. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 –In-fill Exemption. Further, there is no substantial evidence indicating that any of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 – Exceptions apply to the project.
