Vote to approve Approve, as submitted. (Approved)

2. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

2A. WOODBRIDGE PACIFIC GROUP ON BEHALF OF PALM CANYON 65, LLC, FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN LIEU OF ZONE CHANGE, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND MAJOR ARCHITECTURAL APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT A MIXED-USE PROJECT ON 12.4-ACRES CONSISTING OF (57) SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON LOTS AVERAGING 5,362-SQUARE FEET IN SIZE, (22) MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS AND APPROXIMATELY 15,893-SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE LOCATED AT 777 SOUTH PALM CANYON DRIVE (CASE NOS. 5.1378 PD-379, ZC 3.3876 MAJ AND TTM 36914). (DN)

Associate Planner Newell presented the proposed development as outlined in the staff report.

The Commission requested clarification on the following items:

-The total amount of retail off-street parking on Palm Canyon?
-What elements of the Tahquitz Creek Trail will be provided with this project?
-The proposed alternate plan - eliminates the commercial with enhanced landscape buffer.
-Analysis of the General Plan.
-Development Standards.
-Detailed descriptions of the Tahquitz Creek Trail and its connection to the Cameron project.
-Is there a standard in which lots are too small and swimming pools are not permitted?
-A spa uses less water than a pool and a community pool conserves more water too.
-Status of environmental review affecting the alternative plan.

Chair Klatchko opened the public hearing:

-DENNIS CUNNINGHAM, Woodbridge Pacific Group, provided details on the viability of the commercial in this location and issues associate with it.  He described the all residential plan including the footprint, elevations, height and floor plans.

FRANK TYSEN, spoke about the lack of public benefit for planned developments and is opposed to the swimming pools to the homes; he urged the Commission to send this back to lower the density.

KATHLEEN ADAMS, resides at The Canyons, expressed concern about the zoning, density height of this project and how it will impact the neighborhood.

KENNETH FALCON, wants to know how it compares to the Cameron project; and thinks it's important to keep the pedestrian access from the new hotel activity in this area.

MARIO GONZALES, developer, does not think the commercial component will work in this location and the residential makes sense. He thinks some of the comments made today could be easily addressed and requested approval of the 3rd plan.

DENNIS CUNNINGHAM, said they are in full compliance with the landscape plan for the Tahquitz Creek Trail and addressed the continuous wall on north side.

There being no further speakers the public hearing was closed.

Vice-Chair Calerdine questioned if its the intention of the project to pave the Tahquitz Creek Trail adjacent to this development from Belardo to Palm Canyon.

Commissioner Weremiuk said she prefers the 3rd plan but has the following concerns:

*The sideyard setbacks at 5 ft. are not acceptable and need to be 10 ft. (some space is needed between the buildings).
*The restrooms in the swimming pool area can be unisex.
*More green space is needed - possibly losing unit #1 adjacent to the pool to encourage use and gathering space for people in the community and access gate to the trail.
*Appreciates that the streets are normal width and cars can park in the driveway.
Lots are a little too small.

Commissioner Middleton noted that a year ago the Mac Gruder and Rock Garden were still in place and occupied illegally. She thinks the project is too dense and there is much to like especially completion of the Tahquitz Creek Master Plan. She asked the applicant to describe the grade of this project and grading heights on Belardo and Palm Canyon. She questioned if HOA would be established and if short-term rentals prohibited. She favored the all-residential option for this location -it seems a viabilie project, sideyard setbacks should be 10 ft, density is too great. However, is less dense than the Cameron project.

Commissioner Hirschbein made comments on:

-No need to compel to do retail.
-Minimum R-1 requirement for lot size, maximum of 35%.
-12 ft. buffer to property line from wall leading to the trail.
-South corner (coming over the bridge) needs more architectural design.
-Incorporating a bike trail on the along Palm Canyon Drive - if width is sufficient.
-Project to return to the AAC.
-Design of the houses are not adequate and need to be more sophisticated.

Commissioner Calerdine said he is happy with the 5 ft. separation and supports the project.

Chair Klatchko likes the 24 ft. height on the multi-family and asked staff for clarification on if bike lanes are allowed Palm Canyon. Staff responded. He suggested along Belardo - minimal landscape presentation enhancement or width in terms of public benefit. Encouraged the applicant to compare the PDD guidelines when approved by the city. He urged the project going back to the AAC for the new multi-family rendering for review.

Motion to approve Continue to date certain of May 11, 2016. Moved by Vice-Chair Calerdine, seconded by Commissioner Lowe.

Vote to approve Continue to date certain of May 11, 2016. (Approved)

Associate Planner Newell provided an over of the proposed development as outlined in the staff report.

Chair Klatchko opened the public hearing:

-ERIC TAYLOR, applicant, Serena Park, addressed questions from the Commission regarding:  streets, mitigation of construction traffic, the park, the Whitewater access connection, CV Link (pedestrian & bike path), lot widths, setbacks and the alternate plan.

The following persons spoke in opposition of the proposed project:

-KENNETH MAU, Gene Autry Neighborhood, chairman, expressed concern with the traffic access going through their neighborhood and urged the Commission to put this on hold until the issues are resolved.

RENEE SAUNDERS, resides on Verona Road, expressed concern with traffic and loss of views; she suggested reducing the density of the project.

JERRY COLLAMER, resides adjacent to the old 18th fairway, spoke about traffic congestion, loss of open-space and urged more study.

JEFF DI AVANZON, spoke about the density; he urged the Commission to reconsider amending the General Plan designation.

The following persons spoke in favor of the proposed project:

ROGER CONWAY, resides adjacent to Golden Sands, said that a public benefit for him will be the end of bike races and random gun shots behind his residence. He requested expedious approval of the proposed project.

DIANA GRACE, Four Seasons, treasurer & board of directors member, Four Seasons, submitted letters from many the homeowners in favor of this project because of increase in property values, elimination of defunct golf course, blowing sand and noted that it will enhance the city as a whole.

DONALD BROODHURST, concerned with access points into Verona and Whitewater Country Club and suggested other streets.

DAN HUGHETT, spoke about the entrance issues that will add traffic congestion; he suggested leaving the site as a park.

VICTOR DEFOE, Whitewater Condominiums, Phase II, said the board is not in favor of transferring or selling of their streets for access to this development.  However, he thinks the benefits of this development outweight the detriments.

TERI MC COPLIN, PS Country Club HOA, said a very low density project is too dense to absord and could increase the potential of flooding to her neighborhood.

RONALD HERISKO, PS Country Club, boardmember, Phase III, expressed concern with the increased homes that will greatly increase the traffic congestion and suggested decreasing the number of homes.

There being no further appearances the public hearing was closed.

Chair Klatchko asked the applicant if they considered expanding the park area to keep the open-space in this community.

Motion to approve Approve the project, subject to the following additional conditions:

1. Traffic
a. Accept Golden Sands as a public street.
b. "Spine” road through the project is to be a public street.
c. A minimum of three points of access shall be required to the project, with the preference for the additional entrance at Farrell/Racquet Club (with the applicant to provide a new gate for residents of Palm Springs Country Club); alternate choice for third point of access is Francis Drive.
d. Traffic mitigation to be provided at Farrell/Racquet Club, and at Whitewater Club Drive and Vista Chino. Finding: Without the provision of a third access point to the development, there will be an unfair traffic burden to the adjoining neighborhoods.

2. Construction Issues
a. A construction phasing plan shall be required at the Final PD review.
b. The City shall work with the landowner southeast of the project site to provide temporary construction access through to Gene Autry.
c. The “spine” road shall be built out as a construction road from Golden Sands to Whitewater Club Drive; full completion of the “spine” road shall be required at the completion of Phase I of the development.
