[00:01:32] now. And we'll start to my left,
[00:01:33] Commissioner Agustinini.
[00:01:35] >> Uh, just welcome everyone. It's good to
[00:01:38] see staff and everyone back at the
[00:01:40] planning commission. It's been a little
[00:01:42] while, so welcome back.
[00:01:44] >> Commissioner Beiel.
[00:01:46] >> Good to see everybody.
[00:01:49] Commissioner
[00:01:51] Murray.
[00:01:55] >> Uh yes, it is uh good to be back after a
[00:01:58] little absence for a while. Um
[00:02:01] a few things uh been riding around
[00:02:03] looking at some of the uh projects that
[00:02:06] have come before us. Uh one of them was
[00:02:09] Clancy Lane, the 5acre subdivision. Um,
[00:02:12] and at the hearing, uh, and I'd heard
[00:02:14] from some of the residents complaining
[00:02:16] about all the trash and and weeds in
[00:02:19] front that has been, uh, they got on it
[00:02:22] right away. It's all been cleared. And
[00:02:23] I've actually heard from two of the
[00:02:25] residents over there, uh, saying how
[00:02:27] nice it looks. So, uh, that's good. Um
[00:02:30] second I um I read an article hopefully
[00:02:34] it's accurate the IID has announced that
[00:02:37] they are going to start the um new
[00:02:40] substation I think across the freeway in
[00:02:43] Thousand Palms um next year I believe
[00:02:47] it's going to start and to make that
[00:02:49] possible uh the city of Rancho Mirage I
[00:02:53] think contributed correct me if I'm
[00:02:55] wrong over two million for that
[00:02:58] [clears throat]
[00:02:58] five six million
[00:03:00] Oh. Oh my gosh. Uh,
[00:03:04] so I I I guess uh uh Councilman DS must
[00:03:09] have uh paid some out of his own pocket
[00:03:12] to take that up. That was very generous
[00:03:14] of you, uh, Councilman. Um, and
[00:03:18] obviously Palm Desert, I believe, and I
[00:03:21] they're all contributing. The import of
[00:03:24] that is it makes a lot of the land out
[00:03:26] in section 30, including what I call the
[00:03:29] dog park land where we have uh three
[00:03:32] affordable housing projects uh going to
[00:03:34] be going out there. Uh so it makes a lot
[00:03:37] of that uh able to have utilities and
[00:03:40] get going, especially the affordable
[00:03:42] housing. And speaking of the affordable
[00:03:45] housing, uh the uh the first
[00:03:51] development, 230ome
[00:03:53] units,
[00:03:55] um between the dog park and the Home
[00:03:58] Depot area is well underway. The land,
[00:04:01] they're working on the land, clearing
[00:04:02] the land, grading, and so on. Awesome to
[00:04:05] see that. Um and just again reminds how
[00:04:08] much the city has done
[00:04:11] to enable affordable housing well beyond
[00:04:15] what the state requirements timing and
[00:04:18] everything else to do. I think we were
[00:04:20] one of the first to have our housing
[00:04:22] element approved of most of the cities
[00:04:24] in the state. Um and the city has uh
[00:04:29] been very generous in you know the land
[00:04:31] and so on to make that possible. Uh so
[00:04:34] it's awesome to see that going and along
[00:04:37] with that there are three other housing
[00:04:40] affordable housing projects that have
[00:04:42] come through the planning commission and
[00:04:44] approved by the city council. Three
[00:04:47] others um and that makes about 500 and
[00:04:51] just under 600 so far which is over 50%
[00:04:55] of our entire 8-year housing element. So
[00:04:58] we're off to a great start. And then
[00:05:00] there's another one that's actually the
[00:05:02] planning department is working on but
[00:05:04] hasn't come through yet. So uh uh
[00:05:07] terrific news uh that that's moving
[00:05:10] along. That's it.
[00:05:13] >> All right.
[00:05:14] Thank you, Commissioner Bryant. And I
[00:05:16] just like to say that it's been a while
[00:05:18] since we've had a meeting since early
[00:05:20] December. So it's great to be back. And
[00:05:22] I think I can speak on behalf of all the
[00:05:24] colleagues here that uh we consider this
[00:05:27] not only a civic duty, but um something
[00:05:30] we enjoy doing and we're glad we're here
[00:05:33] and to help the community. Um and and
[00:05:36] not to forget the staff even though we
[00:05:38] don't have these meetings on a regular
[00:05:40] basis uh every month necessarily, the
[00:05:42] staff is behind the scenes working very
[00:05:44] hard and we appreciate that very much
[00:05:46] and I know the citizens of our community
[00:05:48] do too. That's it. Okay, now we're going
[00:05:51] to move into approval of our minutes
[00:05:53] from December 11th, 2025.
[00:05:57] Do we have any corrections or comments?
[00:06:01] Any from the commissioners?
[00:06:04] All right. Hearing none, could I have a
[00:06:06] motion to approve?
[00:06:08] >> I'll make a motion.
[00:06:10] >> All right. Second.
[00:06:11] >> Second. Great. I'll um please vote.
[00:06:20] Motion carries 40.
[00:06:22] >> Thank you.
[00:06:25] All right. Our first action item is a
[00:06:28] review of the 2025 planning commission
[00:06:30] annual report and this is for submitt to
[00:06:33] the city council and uh Ben, will you
[00:06:36] please have the staff report for us?
[00:06:39] >> Yes, my pleasure. Uh so good afternoon
[00:06:41] chair and members of the planning
[00:06:42] commission. Every year all city
[00:06:44] commissions prepare an annual report
[00:06:45] summarizing yearly activities to the
[00:06:47] city council. Uh the report prepared for
[00:06:49] the planning commission covers calendar
[00:06:51] year 2025. In 2025, the planning
[00:06:55] commission held 10 meetings and
[00:06:56] considered and acted upon a total of 16
[00:06:58] projects. Uh planning projects typically
[00:07:01] consist of multiple applications and a
[00:07:02] total of 33 planning applications were
[00:07:05] reviewed uh by the planning commission
[00:07:06] in 2025 as part of those planning
[00:07:09] projects. Um, some highlights of the
[00:07:11] projects reviewed by the planning
[00:07:12] commission last year included the Global
[00:07:14] Wildlife Discovery Museum, Ritz Carlton,
[00:07:18] uh, Ranch Mirage affordable apartments,
[00:07:20] the Cotino Town Center sign program, and
[00:07:22] a zoning text amendment, which among
[00:07:24] other items streamline the permitting
[00:07:26] process for wireless communication
[00:07:28] facilities. Um, staff is recommending
[00:07:31] that the planning commission recommend
[00:07:32] to the city council um, to receive and
[00:07:34] file the 2025 planning commission um,
[00:07:38] report. That concludes staff's
[00:07:39] presentation and I'm available to answer
[00:07:41] any questions. Thank you.
[00:07:43] >> Okay. Uh would the city clerk please
[00:07:46] open comment?
[00:07:48] >> Thank you. I did not receive any speaker
[00:07:50] cards on this item. Is there anyone in
[00:07:51] the audience who would like to speak
[00:07:53] regarding agenda item 4A?
[00:07:56] No speakers.
[00:07:57] >> Okay. Thank you. Any commissioners?
[00:08:00] Starting to my left. Do you have any
[00:08:01] comments?
[00:08:03] Um it's just a reminder of uh all the
[00:08:05] successes we have throughout the year um
[00:08:08] in the amount of time that [snorts] we
[00:08:10] as commissioners put into reviewing the
[00:08:14] staff reports and and uh packets uh
[00:08:16] because some of the packets can be quite
[00:08:19] extensive and timeconuming. So, [snorts]
[00:08:21] um, but it's just a great reminder to
[00:08:23] see again a lot of the success like the
[00:08:25] wildlife museum with Ritz Carlton
[00:08:27] [snorts] and then also the, uh, one
[00:08:29] thing that stuck out was the increase in
[00:08:31] single family homes [snorts]
[00:08:32] year-over-year. There was only seven
[00:08:34] permits last year in 24 and 20 25. So,
[00:08:38] it's uh, just encouraging to see and be
[00:08:40] a part of the [snorts] growth in the
[00:08:41] city.
[00:08:43] >> Well said, Commissioner Egustini. Uh,
[00:08:46] Commissioner Beiel,
[00:08:48] >> no comments. and Commissioner Bryant.
[00:08:53] >> Thank you, Pamela.
[00:08:56] Uh, in the plan it shows uh, uh, 16
[00:08:59] planning projects, but that really
[00:09:02] doesn't state the amount of work that
[00:09:03] the planning department did. There are
[00:09:05] 17 other, I'm going to call it, items
[00:09:07] that go along with that. And I think
[00:09:09] what many people don't realize that with
[00:09:11] each planning project, there are a whole
[00:09:14] bunch of other things that go with it.
[00:09:17] and using the uh Rich Carlton U uh
[00:09:20] project or development up there as an
[00:09:24] example. Um yes, may have been one
[00:09:27] planning project, but that included 106
[00:09:30] condominiums,
[00:09:32] uh a parking structure underground,
[00:09:34] uh meeting convention space, and an
[00:09:38] outdoor a really nice outdoor venue uh
[00:09:41] in meeting outdoor uh kind of a
[00:09:43] park-like setting. So all all of those
[00:09:46] things required a massive amount of of
[00:09:49] work and uh effort. So uh again uh uh
[00:09:55] the the the actual report the numbers I
[00:09:59] don't think really say how much work the
[00:10:01] planning department is doing. Uh and so
[00:10:04] again we all congratulate them and
[00:10:07] without the planning department uh we
[00:10:09] wouldn't be much up here on the planning
[00:10:11] commission. So is so they go so the
[00:10:15] planning commission goes. Thank you.
[00:10:18] >> Well said, Commissioner Bryant. And I
[00:10:20] don't think I can add to that. So I'll
[00:10:22] just say well done, City of Brancher
[00:10:24] Mirage.
[00:10:26] All right. We need to now have a motion
[00:10:28] to approve.
[00:10:30] >> A motion to approve.
[00:10:32] >> Thank you. Second. [clears throat]
[00:10:34] >> Second.
[00:10:35] >> All right. And please vote.
[00:10:42] And motion carries 4 Z.
[00:10:45] >> Great.
[00:10:48] And we're going to move now into the
[00:10:50] public hearings. Item 5 A,
[00:10:53] environmental assessment case number
[00:10:55] EA25-00009,
[00:10:59] street name change case number
[00:11:01] STN25-00001,
[00:11:04] and preliminary development plan case
[00:11:06] number PDP 25-00004,
[00:11:11] Lineia North.
[00:11:14] Okay,
[00:11:16] could the staff please give their
[00:11:17] report? And that's Joy.
[00:11:21] Thank you, Chair Chanter, and good
[00:11:23] afternoon, planning commissioners. For
[00:11:25] your consideration, today is a
[00:11:26] preliminary development plan and a
[00:11:28] street name change request for the
[00:11:30] Lineia North project.
[00:11:34] The applicant is seeking approval for
[00:11:36] the construction of nine semi-custom
[00:11:38] single family dwellings and a street
[00:11:39] name change to Via Linia. The street
[00:11:42] name change will not affect existing
[00:11:44] addresses outside of the project
[00:11:46] boundaries.
[00:11:49] The project site is approximately 4.4
[00:11:52] acres and is located on the north side
[00:11:54] of Ginger Rogers Road east of Bob Hope
[00:11:57] Drive. It is surrounded by existing
[00:11:59] single family dwellings. Lineia North is
[00:12:02] proposed to be an extension of the
[00:12:04] original Lineia project located opposite
[00:12:06] of Ginger Rogers Road with a similar
[00:12:08] tone and concept.
[00:12:12] For a little bit of background, um,
[00:12:15] while the original 18 lot subdivision
[00:12:18] dates back to 2008, uh, state extensions
[00:12:21] kept the map act active until its
[00:12:23] recordation in 2018.
[00:12:26] The subdivision is separated by Ginger
[00:12:28] Rogers Road and the two halves were sold
[00:12:31] to separate entities.
[00:12:33] The pro current property owner acquired
[00:12:35] and developed the south half around 2023
[00:12:39] and a different entity completed the
[00:12:41] subdivision improvements for the north
[00:12:43] half in uh June 2024. The current
[00:12:46] property owner then acquired the north
[00:12:48] half uh last year and is proposing to
[00:12:51] construct an extension of Lineia called
[00:12:53] Lineia North.
[00:12:56] So here you can see the completed entry.
[00:12:59] All essential utilities such as electric
[00:13:02] service are confirmed and ready for
[00:13:04] service.
[00:13:09] This slide here shows the overall site
[00:13:11] plan and the existing lot sizes range in
[00:13:14] size from approximately 15,900 to 22,200
[00:13:19] square ft and will have seven new house
[00:13:22] plan concepts ranging from uh
[00:13:24] approximately 5,000 square ft to 6,300
[00:13:28] square ft constructed on them. Lots two
[00:13:31] and three will have the same floor plan
[00:13:33] but reversed and with different
[00:13:35] elevations. Uh lots eight and nine have
[00:13:37] the same floor plans um but have
[00:13:40] different uh elevations. Uh lots six
[00:13:43] through eight are located on the west
[00:13:45] side of the tract and have detached
[00:13:48] guest houses. All the proposed plots are
[00:13:51] fully compliant with the city's
[00:13:52] development standards um while
[00:13:55] maintaining the standard 25- ft front
[00:13:57] and rear stepbacks and staying well
[00:13:59] within the 30% lot coverage limit.
[00:14:05] The exterior colors and materials
[00:14:06] palette is designed to create a cohesive
[00:14:08] yet varied residential streetscape by
[00:14:11] using a curated range of neutral tones,
[00:14:14] textured masonry elements, and non-re
[00:14:16] repeating combinations between adjacent
[00:14:18] homes for visual interest and
[00:14:20] architectural unity. These exterior
[00:14:23] colors range from soft off-whites, taes,
[00:14:26] and mid to dark beige and grays. The
[00:14:29] frames will be dark brown and the
[00:14:31] roofing is a light off-white tone to
[00:14:33] complement the facades and to reduce the
[00:14:35] visual heaviness.
[00:14:38] While all the homes uh select from the
[00:14:40] same curated palette, no two adjacent
[00:14:42] residences will share the same
[00:14:44] combination of exterior colors and
[00:14:46] materials. This approach ensures that
[00:14:48] there is visual variety along the street
[00:14:50] while reinforcing an overall unified
[00:14:53] streetscape. The proposed homes are all
[00:14:55] singlestory and with the maximum height
[00:14:59] being 17 and 12 ft from finished grade.
[00:15:03] The city development code allows for a
[00:15:05] maximum height of 20 ft.
[00:15:09] A few floor plans and elevation will be
[00:15:11] highlighted in the following slides. The
[00:15:13] floor plans consist of a large open
[00:15:15] living entertainment space focused on
[00:15:17] the indoor and outdoor connection, a
[00:15:20] large independent master suite, guest
[00:15:22] bedrooms in various layouts and media
[00:15:24] and office spaces.
[00:15:27] Lot one has a total of 5,324
[00:15:30] square ft proposed and is designed to
[00:15:32] take advantage of the mountain views to
[00:15:34] the south uh with a uh pool in the front
[00:15:37] yard area. There is a covered outdoor
[00:15:40] area in the rear. The maximum height is
[00:15:42] 16 feet from the uh the top of the
[00:15:46] grade.
[00:15:48] Lots two and three have the same floor
[00:15:50] plan uh with lot three being reversed.
[00:15:53] This floor plan is the smallest of nine
[00:15:55] homes at a total of 5,01 square ft
[00:15:59] including the threecar garage. The main
[00:16:01] private outdoor area is in the front and
[00:16:04] uh the house has a maximum height of 16
[00:16:07] and a half feet from top of grade.
[00:16:11] Lot 5 is located at the end of the
[00:16:13] culde-sac and features a threecar side
[00:16:15] loading garage. Uh the house is on the
[00:16:18] larger side at a total of 6,17 half
[00:16:21] square ft. The main private outdoor area
[00:16:24] is also in the front and with covered
[00:16:27] private outdoor areas in the rear. The
[00:16:29] maximum height of this home is 17 and
[00:16:31] 1/2 ft from top of grade.
[00:16:35] Lot 9 is located the entry of the
[00:16:38] subdivision and adjacent to the
[00:16:40] landscape retention basin that fronts
[00:16:42] Ginger Rogers Road. The house concept
[00:16:45] features a 12t tall architectural wall
[00:16:47] that is integrated into the house design
[00:16:50] and screens the private outdoor area.
[00:16:52] The maximum height of this home is 14
[00:16:55] 1/2 ft from top of grade. The heights of
[00:16:58] the homes on the westerly lots adjacent
[00:17:00] to the echo development uh are a maximum
[00:17:02] of 14 and a half feet.
[00:17:08] Detached guest houses uh have been
[00:17:10] proposed for the four westerly lots.
[00:17:12] These are designed to be architecturally
[00:17:14] consistent with the main residence and
[00:17:16] will not exceed 12 ft from grade.
[00:17:21] So as a part of this middle front yard
[00:17:24] typical landscaping is provided. This
[00:17:26] landscaping carries a lineal
[00:17:28] architectural theme forward utilizing
[00:17:30] drought tolerant plantings like mulga,
[00:17:32] olive and palivvery trees. Each pallet
[00:17:35] will have alternate selection to choose
[00:17:37] from for visual diversity.
[00:17:40] Lot three. This lot three typical will
[00:17:41] apply to lots one through five and
[00:17:44] feature the mulga and olive trees along
[00:17:46] with various drought tolerant accents.
[00:17:51] The lot seven typical applies to lots
[00:17:54] six and seven and features mulga trees,
[00:17:56] desert museum, palivvery, and Mexican
[00:17:58] fan palms.
[00:18:05] Lot eight at typical applies to lots
[00:18:07] eight and nine and features tepu and
[00:18:10] weeping bottle brush trees, Mexican fan
[00:18:12] palms, and accent plantings of varying
[00:18:14] textures and colors.
[00:18:18] The project's been reviewed for
[00:18:20] compliance with the California envir
[00:18:21] environmental quality act. A mitigated
[00:18:24] negative declaration was adopted for the
[00:18:26] tenative attract map and a previously
[00:18:28] approved preliminary development plan in
[00:18:30] 2008. The tenative map expiration date
[00:18:33] was automatically extended by the state.
[00:18:36] However, the the preliminary development
[00:18:38] plan approval expired. This project
[00:18:41] remains consistent with the previously
[00:18:44] adopted M&D. The changes proposed today
[00:18:47] such as the updated architecture uh and
[00:18:49] landscaping are minor technical
[00:18:51] revisions that do not trigger any new
[00:18:53] environmental impacts. Moreover, the
[00:18:56] street name change is exempt from SQA
[00:18:58] under the common sense exemption and
[00:19:01] therefore no further environmental
[00:19:03] reviews required.
[00:19:08] As a part of the project review, staff
[00:19:09] routed the project for comments to city
[00:19:12] departments and responsible agencies and
[00:19:14] any applicable comments received have
[00:19:16] been incorporated into the conditions of
[00:19:18] approval. All agencies are expected to
[00:19:21] provide service to the project.
[00:19:24] In addition, staff received one email
[00:19:26] today regarding the request. Those
[00:19:28] comments were distributed to the
[00:19:30] planning commission prior to the
[00:19:31] meeting. Staff recommends that the
[00:19:33] planning commission approve the listed
[00:19:35] actions on this slide.
[00:19:41] This concludes staff presentation and I
[00:19:43] will be happy to address any questions
[00:19:45] the commissioners may have. I believe
[00:19:47] the applicants are also here and
[00:19:49] available for questions as well. Thank
[00:19:51] you.
[00:19:52] >> Thank you Joy. Would the city clerk
[00:19:55] please open for public comment?
[00:19:57] >> Thank you. I did not receive any speaker
[00:19:59] cards on this item. Is there anyone in
[00:20:00] the audience who would like to provide
[00:20:02] public testimony on this public hearing
[00:20:04] item? No speakers. Thank you. We'll
[00:20:07] close public comment and now I'll ask
[00:20:10] each commissioner to make any questions
[00:20:12] or comments at this time. Uh starting
[00:20:14] with Commissioner Agustinini.
[00:20:17] Um my only comment is it I mean it
[00:20:20] reviewing everything is it seem
[00:20:22] obviously to [snorts] make sense. Excuse
[00:20:24] me.
[00:20:29] silly cold I've had. [snorts] Um
[00:20:32] uh changing the street name from
[00:20:35] [snorts] uh to match the the adjacent
[00:20:38] project that was south and now north. So
[00:20:40] [snorts] everything aligns the project
[00:20:42] looks beautiful. Uh it's a really nice
[00:20:45] I'm very familiar with the area. I live
[00:20:46] close by. Um so I've seen [snorts] a lot
[00:20:48] of development. It's good to see that
[00:20:50] continue. So I don't have any really uh
[00:20:54] negative comments about the project.
[00:20:56] Thank [snorts] you, Commissioner Beal.
[00:20:58] >> I have no comments.
[00:21:00] >> And Commissioner Bryant.
[00:21:04] >> Yes. The Joy, the lots are 15,000 square
[00:21:08] foot minimum. The code now is 18,000
[00:21:11] square ft. So, did this project have the
[00:21:15] absolute legal right to have 15,000
[00:21:18] square foot lots?
[00:21:20] >> Uh, yes. Uh, they do. the lots or the
[00:21:25] track map was approved prior to the um
[00:21:28] change in minimum lot size around 2014.
[00:21:31] >> Okay. Um
[00:21:33] to the west of there, the project the
[00:21:36] 5acre project that came through was us
[00:21:38] on the corner of Landy Lane and Ginger
[00:21:41] Rogers. What are the lot size? Do you
[00:21:43] know what the lot sizes of those are?
[00:21:47] I believe they were admit um if you're
[00:21:49] talking about the uh tenative track map
[00:21:52] that came before you guys last year um
[00:21:54] those minimum lot size was 16,000 square
[00:21:57] feet
[00:21:58] >> sorry 16
[00:21:59] >> 16,000 square feet minimum
[00:22:01] >> so in the future in that area section 30
[00:22:04] out there a new project comes before the
[00:22:08] planning department their minimum lot
[00:22:10] size will be 18,000 square feet unless
[00:22:12] they I guess have a good reason for a
[00:22:15] variance
[00:22:16] Yes.
[00:22:18] >> Okay. But generally though, they'll be
[00:22:20] 18,000 square ft.
[00:22:22] >> That's correct. The minimum the current
[00:22:24] minimum uh lot size in that zoning
[00:22:27] district is 18,000 square ft.
[00:22:29] >> Okay. Um did uh did you receive any
[00:22:33] comments from the neighbors specifically
[00:22:36] that 5acre estate immediately on the
[00:22:38] east side of this development? Did you
[00:22:40] receive any comments?
[00:22:41] >> No comments were received.
[00:22:43] >> Okay. Uh my last question, um
[00:22:48] do these lots have a a legal right to
[00:22:51] have an ADU? I know none are proposed or
[00:22:54] planned, but do they have a legal right
[00:22:56] from the state to put an ADU on one of
[00:22:58] these lots?
[00:22:59] >> Yes, they do.
[00:23:00] >> So, and that minimum setback now is what
[00:23:03] is it 4T?
[00:23:06] >> The state ADU law states that the
[00:23:08] minimum uh setback is four feet from the
[00:23:12] side and rear.
[00:23:13] >> Okay. And so if somebody in the future
[00:23:15] after these houses were up applied for
[00:23:17] an ADU, as long as they met the other
[00:23:20] requirements, then the city would have
[00:23:22] to approve it.
[00:23:24] >> That's correct. If they meet all
[00:23:25] requirements.
[00:23:26] >> Okay. All right. Okay. Those are my
[00:23:29] questions. Thank you.
[00:23:30] >> Excellent questions. Thank you. Thank
[00:23:32] you, Commissioner Bryant. Um, I will
[00:23:34] just add that um since the city staff um
[00:23:37] recommended this and it looks very
[00:23:39] attractive and I am familiar with it
[00:23:41] also since I do live in the area. Um I'm
[00:23:44] I'm glad that they're they're going to
[00:23:46] be moving forward hopefully. Um now
[00:23:49] could we have a motion for this this
[00:23:51] item?
[00:23:56] >> I got to use my glasses. I'd like to
[00:23:58] make a motion that the planning
[00:24:00] commission recommend the city council
[00:24:02] find that the preliminary development

[00:24:35] uh B parentheses B3 and authorize the
[00:24:38] filing of a notice of determination and
[00:24:42] approve street name change case number
[00:24:46] STN25-00001
