Pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.04.00(D)(1)(e), the Planning Commission’s decision is final unless further appeal is made to the City Council in the manner provided by Chapter 2.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. On March 3, 2022, the applicant filed an appeal request in accordance with the applicable law. The Appeal Form is attached to this staff report (Attachment 4), and an addendum to the Appeal Form was submitted by Eric Hawkins, project architect, to the Planning Division on March 21, 2022, on behalf of the appellant (Attachment 5).
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant is proposing to construct a 3,278-square-foot single-family residence, which includes a 2,775-square-foot primary residence and a 503-square-foot detached garage, on a 15,173-square-foot undeveloped hillside parcel. The proposed residence meets the R-1-C Zone development standards of Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 92.01.03, except for the proposed 10-foot front yard setback and the maximum building height of
23.6 feet. Pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.06.01(A)(10), a 10-foot front yard setback and a building height not exceeding 30 feet is allowed on a hillside parcel subject to Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) approval. The conformance of the project to the applicable development standards is analyzed in Attachment 8, and the development plans and supplementary materials that were denied by the Planning Commission on February 23, 2022, are attached to this staff report as Attachments 9 & Attachment 10).
APPELLANT’S GROUNDS FOR APPEAL REQUEST:
In the Appeal Form (Attachment 4), the appellant explains the basis for filing the appeal request as follows:
Item 2A - 3
City Council Staff Report
April 7, 2022 -- Page 4
Case 3.4215 MAJ & Case 7.1632 AMM Appeal
1) “The home design was unanimously approved by the ARC.” 2) “The Planning Department recommended approval at the first and every subsequent hearing.”
3) “ARC and Planning Commission have provided conflicting direction and comments as to site and design.”
4) “Both homes comply with all current regulations – city, county, and state.” Additionally, the appellant submitted an addendum on March 21, 2022, to further explain their grounds for appeal below, which is also attached to this staff report (Attachment 5). “As part of the adoption of the General Plan in 2007, which is used as the basis for objections 1 and 3 by the Planning Commission, development restrictions were placed on properties that contained slopes steeper than 30% which were not in place at the time of construction of any of the surrounding homes. This single-handedly prevents the desired consistency with "the historic development pattern of the neighborhood" where large flat pads could be created on the surrounding hillside lots. The proposed design is a direct response to this portion of code as the cantilevered design avoids grading on the hillside, maintaining the natural quality of the hillside as is desired by the Community Design Element. Furthermore, the Community Design Element of the General Plan contains many additional objectives than are mentioned in the Planning Commission findings. The full context of desired objectives of the Community Design Plan is the following:
This part of the General Plan focuses on Citywide and neighborhood-level details rather than project- and parcel-based specifics. The objectives of this element are to:
- Preserve and enhance the visual quality of the City
- Reinforce/Strengthen the community identity of Palm Springs - Protect and strengthen the sense of place and character of neighborhoods
- Enhance vehicular and pedestrian corridors through the use of consistent design features
- Enhance the energy, vitality, and urban village character of the downtown
- Retain the architectural quality and diversity of Palm Springs - Protect the character of historic neighborhoods
- Protect viewsheds and scenic corridors
- Encourage environmentally friendly and sustainable design and building practices
Our projects promote the desired architectural diversity as is consistent with not only the City of Palm Springs, but also with the neighborhood of the Mesa. A defining feature such as a cantilever in this neighborhood only Item 2A - 4
City Council Staff Report
April 7, 2022 -- Page 5
Case 3.4215 MAJ & Case 7.1632 AMM Appeal
ADDS to the diversity of the neighborhood architecture, as opposed to mimicking the historic development patterns that are no longer viable due to code changes over the years. Variety and Character in the form of differing materials, rooflines, massing, etc. were all requested qualities of the designs by both the ARC and the Planning Staff, resulting in unanimous approval by the ARC and recommendation of approval by the Planning Staff. Planning Commission's determination contradicts not only the intention of the Community Design Element it references, but also the direct design guidance that was provided by the ARC and the Planning Staff in the preceding stages of review. Furthermore, the Planning Commission rejects the Minor Modifications solely based on their interpretation of the projects not being consistent with the General Plan. Despite the fact that the projects ARE consistent with the General Plan, as noted above, AND are direct responses to both the ARC and Planning Staff recommendations, the neighboring houses consistently have a reduced front setback, in many cases much less than the 10' being requested. The proposed building heights were significantly adjusted numerous times throughout the ARC process, ultimately resulting in a unanimous approval. Planning Staff nor ARC ever requested or advised on maintaining a maximum height of 18'. Instead, they supported the pursuit of an AMM and asked for specific incremental reductions in height which we complied with, resulting in unanimous approval.
In response to Finding #2, the average size of the homes in the immediate neighborhood is 2563 sf. Additionally, many of the more recent developments in the Mesa are much larger than this. Our respective proposed projects of 2775 sf and 2811 sf are clearly not significantly larger than the average in the immediate neighborhood as is claimed by the Planning Commission and are significantly smaller than some of the more contemporary construction in the neighborhood. Furthermore, our rooflines are lower than the surrounding neighbor's homes behind and next to our properties. These were direct design responses to the ARC and City Planning Staff criteria so that perceived massing would be minimized and viewshed corridors would be maintained.”
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff responds to the appellant’s grounds for filing an appeal request, which are stated in the previous paragraph (‘Appellant’s Grounds for Appeal Request’), as follows:
1) “The home design was unanimously approved by the ARC.” The applications, Case 3.4215 MAJ and Case 7.1632 AMM, were submitted prior to the City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 2042, which amended the architectural review procedures and approval authority. Hence, the proposed project was reviewed in Item 2A - 5
City Council Staff Report
April 7, 2022 -- Page 6
Case 3.4215 MAJ & Case 7.1632 AMM Appeal
accordance with the pre-amendment architectural review procedures, which required ARC (formerly AAC – The Planning Commission Architectural Advisory Committee) and Planning Commission review.
As an advisory body to the Planning Commission, the ARC’s authority in reviewing a Major Architectural (MAJ) application was limited to recommending approval, conditional approval, or denial to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission, not the ARC, has the authority to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the project, subject to appeal to the City Council. Although the ARC/AAC recommended approval of the project to the Planning Commission subject to conditions of approval on August 30, 2021, it was not official approval of the project.
2) “The Planning Department recommended approval at the first and every subsequent hearing.”
The actions recommended by Staff to the AAC, ARC, and Planning Commission are summarized in the table below:
Meeting Date Review Body Recommended Actions by Staff
06/07/2021 AAC Continuation for further study
07/19/2021 ARC Recommend denial to the Planning
Commission
08/30/2021 ARC Recommend approval to the Planning
Commission subject to conditions
12/08/2021 Planning Commission Approve, subject to conditions 01/12/2022 Planning Commission Approve, subject to conditions 02/23/2022 Planning Commission Approve, subject to conditions The excerpts of meeting minutes from the previous ARC and Planning Commission meetings are attached to this staff report (Attachment 6). Staff interpreted and analyzed the General Plan policies and zoning ordinance regulations in preparing findings and delivering recommendations to the ARC and Planning Commission. However, the ARC and Planning Commission are at liberty to exercise their own independent judgment in reviewing the project consistent with applicable law. In this case, contrary to the findings prepared by Staff, the Planning Commission found that the proposed project is neither consistent with the intent of the General Plan Community Design Element nor compatible with the surrounding development and the development pattern of the neighborhood. The City Council is now authorized to render a decision on appeal with regards to the project. 3) “ARC and Planning Commission have provided conflicting direction and comments as to site and design.”
Item 2A - 6
City Council Staff Report
April 7, 2022 -- Page 7
Case 3.4215 MAJ & Case 7.1632 AMM Appeal
To the extent that the Planning Commission exercised its independent judgment and viewed the project differently from the ARC, the Commission may have, in fact, given “conflicting direction” by making different findings. However, as noted in Staff Analysis #1 above, the Planning Commission was not required to follow the ARC’s recommendations, and the Commission believed that the required findings could not be made for the project.
This matter is now before the City Council on appeal.
4) “Both homes comply with all current regulations – city, county, and state.” The proposed residence at 310 West Crestview Drive conforms to the R-1-C Zone development standards except for the 10-foot front yard setback and the maximum building height of 23.6 feet. The applicant submitted an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) application, Case 7.1632 AMM, to address the setback and building height conformance issues as prescribed in Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.06.01(A)(10).
However, the Planning Commission found that AMM application is not consistent the General Plan. Without AMM approval, the project does not meet the zoning code. The construction of a single-family residence within a residential zone is categorically exempt from further environmental review in accordance with Section 15303(a) of the CEQA Guidelines.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
The public comments the Planning Division has received relative to the proposed project are identified as Attachment #11. Due to the volume and length of the comments received, all public comment materials are available at the following link:
https://publicportal.palmspringsca.gov/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=1301607&dbid=0&rep o=CityHall-Primary
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
If the applicant’s appeal request is denied, the action will be statutorily exempt from the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because “CEQA does not apply to projects which the public agency rejects or disapproves” per Section 15270(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. Should the City Council decide to approve this project, however, the proposed development is considered a “project” pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303(a) of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 3, New Single-Family Residence).
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.

WHEREAS, the proposed project is statutorily exempt from the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because “CEQA does not apply to projects which the public agency rejects or disapproves” per Section 15270(a) of the CEQA Guidelines.
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the Item 2A - 13
Resolution No. _____
evidence presented in connection with the meeting on the Project, including but not limited to the staff report, all environmental data including the environmental assessment prepared for the project and all written and oral testimony presented.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 94.04.00 (Architectural Review) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City Council finds that, based upon the following factors, the proposed project will not provide a desirable environment for its occupants as well as being compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments:
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another and to open spaces and topography. Definition of pedestrian and vehicular areas; i.e., sidewalks as distinct from parking lot areas.
The proposed residence includes a prominent cantilever which projects into the canyon in the rear. The Community Design Element of the Palm Springs 2007 General Plan states, “The City of Palm Springs is visually defined by both its natural and built environments. Traditionally. The City’s built environment has respected and complemented the natural environment…” (Palm Springs 2007 General Plan, Community Design Element, page 9-2). The rear portion of the proposed residence projects into the canyon far more than other existing residences in the neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed project is not consistent with the historic development pattern of the neighborhood and does not meet this finding.
2. Harmonious relationship with existing and proposed adjoining developments and in the context of the immediate neighborhood/community, avoiding both excessive variety and monotonous repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted
The rear portion of the proposed residence extends into the canyon much further than other residences that are located on the rim of the canyon, and the massing of the proposed residence is greater than other existing residences in the immediate neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed residence is not harmonious with its surroundings, and it does not meet this finding.
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass, as well as parts of any structure (buildings, walls, screens, towers or signs) and effective concealment of all mechanical equipment;
The massing of the proposed residence is greater than other residences in the neighborhood. The proposed project does not meet the maximum building height and minimum front yard setback requirements of the zoning code. In order for the project to meet this finding, the project requires the approval of an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) application for the proposed building height increase and reduced front yard setback. However, as explained in this resolution below, the proposed project does not meet the findings that are required for AMM approval. Therefore, the proposed project does not meet this finding.
Item 2A - 14
Resolution No. _____
WHEREAS, the findings for an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) request are outlined in Section 94.06.01(B)(3) (Minor Modifications) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC), and the City Council finds as follows:
1. The requested minor modification is consistent with the general plan, applicable specific plan(s) and overall objectives of the zoning ordinance.
The approval of this AMM application is requested for an increase in the maximum allowable building height and a front yard setback reduction for a hillside singlefamily residence in accordance with Palm Springs Zoning Code Sections
92.01.03(B)(5) and 94.06.01(A)(10). The project proposes the building height of
23.6 feet and a 10-foot front yard setback. As explained in finding above, AMM approval is requested for a project which is not consistent with the Community Design Element of the Palm Springs 2007 General Plan that states, “The City of Palm Springs is visually defined by both its natural and built environments.
Traditionally. The City’s built environment has respected and complemented the natural environment…” (Palm Springs 2007 General Plan, Community Design Element, page 9-2). Therefore, the proposed project does not meet this finding.
2. The approval of the minor modification is justified by environmental features, site conditions, location of existing improvements, or historic development patterns of the property or neighborhood.
This AMM approval is requested for a proposed residence with a prominent cantilever, which projects into the canyon in the rear far more than other existing residences on the rim. Additionally, the massing of the proposed residence is greater than other residences found in the neighborhood. Since the proposed project is not consistent with the historic development pattern of the neighborhood, it does not meet this finding.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. That the proposed project is statutorily exempt from the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because “CEQA does not apply to projects which the public agency rejects or disapproves” per Section 15270(a) of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. That the City Council hereby denies the appeal by Eric Krut of Carmelita Properties Limited and upholds the Planning Commission’s decision to deny Major Architectural (MAJ) and Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) applications, Case 3.4215 MAJ and Case 7.1632 AMM, for the construction of a 3,278-square-foot single-family residence with the front yard setback of 10 feet and the maximum building Item 2A - 15

WHEREAS, on March 3, 2022, Eric Krut of Carmelita Properties Limited timely filed an appeal to the City Council of the February 23, 2022 Planning Commission’s decision to deny Case 3.4215 MAJ and Case 7.1632 AMM in accordance with applicable law.
WHEREAS, on April 7, 2022, an appeal hearing on Case 3.4215 MAJ and Case
7.1632 AMM was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law.
WHEREAS, the proposed project is considered a “project” pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and, if approved, has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303(a) of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 3, New Single-Family Residence).
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the Item 2A - 19
Resolution No. _____
evidence presented in connection with the meeting on the Project, including but not limited to the staff report, all environmental data including the environmental assessment prepared for the project and all written and oral testimony presented.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 94.04.00 (Architectural Review) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City Council finds that, based upon the following factors, the proposed project will provide a desirable environment for its occupants as well as being compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments:
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another and to open spaces and topography. Definition of pedestrian and vehicular areas; i.e., sidewalks as distinct from parking lot areas.
The proposed residence will be developed in an L-shape orientation on a standard R-1-C Zone lot with a garage in front of the residence. An outdoor living space, including a pool, will be accommodated in the area between the garage and the residence surrounded by a 7-foot-high wall/pool enclosure. Vehicular access will be provided by a driveway from West Crestview Drive, which leads to the angled, side-facing garage. A pedestrian path which extends from the driveway leads to the entrance of the residence. The proposed residence incorporates stepping design in its rear portion to follow the hillside topography.
2. Harmonious relationship with existing and proposed adjoining developments and in the context of the immediate neighborhood/community, avoiding both excessive variety and monotonous repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted
In addition to this MAJ application, the Planning Division has received a MAJ application (Case 3.4216 MAJ) for the adjacent parcel to the west, which is owned by the same property owner. The architectural style of the two residences is contemporary and very similar in design; however, the use of similar yet different construction materials and color palette differentiate the two projects visually. The adjacent properties to the east and south are designed with red clay roof tiles with stucco or plaster. Although the proposed architectural style is different from the east and south neighboring properties, different architectural styles and building materials are observed in the neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed design is contextually appropriate.
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass, as well as parts of any structure (buildings, walls, screens, towers or signs) and effective concealment of all mechanical equipment;
The proposed project generally meets the applicable development standards. The building extends above the R-1-C Zone building envelope standard, which includes a building height of 12 feet at the setback and the 18-foot-maximum at the slope of 4:12 ratio as proposed. However, the building height may be increased up to 30 feet with AMM approval given that such modifications will not have detrimental Item 2A - 20
Resolution No. _____
impact on the adjacent properties pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code Sections
92.01.03(B)(5) and 94.06.01(A)(10). The applicant has submitted an AMM application (Case 7.1632 AMM) requesting modifications to the building envelope.
The project proposes a designated equipment area between the garage and the front pool enclosure/wall. The equipment area will be screened with a 7-foot-high gate which will be constructed of black powder coated aluminum vertical slats. The angled gate opening is side-facing, and it will not be visible from the street or the adjacent property to the east. Solar panels will be installed on the garage roof behind the parapet.
4. Building design, materials and colors to be sympathetic with desert surroundings;
The proposed materials, such as panel formed concrete, black powder coated metal, plaster, and wood, are commonly observed construction materials in the City, and the project proposes desert-neutral color palette.
5. Harmony of materials, colors and composition of those elements of a structure, including overhangs, roofs, and substructures which are visible simultaneously;
The proposed color palette consists of desert-neutral colors such as black (black anodized aluminum powder coated steel), light brown (Accoya wood), light gray (panel formed concrete), and white (Stucco – Merlex Plaster P-6 El Dorado). The simplistic architectural design will showcase the detail and unique character of each construction material, and the materials and colors are complementary to each other.
6. Consistency of composition and treatment;
The project proposes the consistent architectural treatment on all four sides as exemplified by the application of rectilinear form and repeated use of identical construction materials.
7. Location and type of planting, with regard for desert climate conditions.
Preservation of specimen and landmark trees upon a site, with proper irrigation to insure maintenance of all plant materials;
The proposed plant palette consists of plant materials that are included in the Lush and Efficient gardening book for the Coachella Valley as required in PSMC Section
8.60.060(b)(a). No turf is proposed for the project. The revised landscape plan includes additional planting materials as required by the ARC; however, the proposed tree placement in the rear yard is too orderly for the existing natural hillside landscape. As conditioned, the project would comply with this finding.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 93.13.00 (Hillside Developments) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City Council finds that, based upon the following factors, the Item 2A - 21
Resolution No. _____
proposed project will provide a safe, orderly and aesthetically appealing development to the hillside area:
1. Rock and soil exposure;
The project site is currently undeveloped. The site’s condition appears to be very similar to other undeveloped hillside lots in the City; there is no rock or soil exposure that is particularly unique to the site. The existing hillside landscape will be retained around the perimeter of the proposed residence.
2. Size of building pad;
The proposed single-story 3,278-square-foot residence which includes 2,775 square feet of living space, a 503-sq. ft. garage, outdoor living space, and a pool on a 15,173-squre-foot lot. As shown on the Grading & Slope Band Diagram on Sheet T0.01, the proposed building pad is generally located in the front portion of the lot. The size of the building pad is approximately 3,420 square feet in area, which is equivalent to 22% of the total lot size.
3. Design considerations, such as supporting stilts, colors and building arrangement;
The project proposes piers for structural support to minimize the visual impact of the project when viewed from the rear/north. The proposed color palette is desertneutral, which is appropriate for the site and its surrounding. The proposed residence will be located towards the front of the property to avoid the steep slope area and retain the natural topography as much as possible.
4. Screening of parking areas;
The project proposes a two-car parking garage. The garage opening is slightly angled, and it is side (east)-facing.
5. Landscaping plans;
The project proposes the installation of drought-tolerant plant materials. Although the revised landscape plan shows additional planting materials in the rear yard, the proposed lineal tree placement appears too orderly for the existing natural hillside landscape and topography. The project is subject to a condition of approval, which requires the improvement of the tree placement in the rear yard subject to ARC review. With the implementation of this condition, the project meets this finding.
6. Continuity with surrounding development;
The project proposes a 3,278-square-foot residence. The building footprint of the eight (8) existing single-family residences located within the site’s vicinity ranges Item 2A - 22
Resolution No. _____
from 1,950 square feet to 7,749 square feet based on the measurement taken by using the City’s mapping software, with the average size of 3,465 square feet.
Therefore, the proposed residence is compatible with other residences in the neighborhood, and the project will not disrupt the development pattern of the site’s vicinity.
7. Sensitivity to existing view corridors.
The vertical height of the proposed residence varies from 11.5 feet to 13.5 feet.
The average elevation measured near the center line of Crestview Drive is 498.5 feet, and the elevation measured at the top of the 12-foot-high garage is 507 feet.
This indicates that the height of the garage measured from the street will be only
8.5 feet, which is lower than the height of a typical single-family residence. The topography slopes down as it moves towards the rear of the property, and the top of the rear portion of the residence drops by 3.25 feet measured from the central area of the residence. The adjacent property to the south is located at higher elevation, and the property to the east is located at lower elevation. Sensitivity to the existing view corridors is demonstrated through the residence’s stepping design.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 94.06.01 (Minor Modifications) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the City Council finds:
1. The requested minor modification is consistent with the general plan, applicable specific plan(s) and overall objectives of the zoning ordinance.
The approval of this AMM application is requested for an increase in the maximum allowable building height and a front yard setback reduction for a hillside singlefamily residence in accordance with Palm Springs Zoning Code Sections
92.01.03(B)(5) and 94.06.01(A)(10). The project proposes the building height of
23.6 feet, and it is less than the 30-foot-maximim allowed per PSZC Section
94.06.01(A)(10). PSZC Section 94.06.01(A)(10) allows a 10-foot front yard setback. The approval of the AMM application will not alter the nature of the proposed project or the single-family residential land use, and it is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and zoning ordinance.
2. The neighboring properties will not be adversely affected as a result of the approval or conditional approval of the minor modification.
The height of the proposed structure itself varies from 11.5 feet to 13.5 feet, which is within the maximum allowable building height for a standard single-family residence. The maximum height of 23.6 feet is measured at the rear/north end of the proposed residence over a steep sloping topography. The property abuts to a vacant lot in the rear and the building steps down by 3.25 feet in the rear portion.
Additionally, the Prevailing Setback Diagram (Sheet T0.01) shows that the project site is adjacent to the properties that are also developed with a reduced front yard setback. Finally, the portion of the residence for which the 10-foot front yard Item 2A - 23
