Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Cathedral City is sponsoring a General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone to correct an inadvertent error from a past city-wide General Plan and zoning update (General Plan Amendment 02-78 and Change of Zone 02-100) approved by the Planning Commission and City Council in 2002. At that time the two lots in question were rezoned from R1 (Single Family Residential) to NBP (Neighborhood Business Park); the corresponding General Plan Map was changed from RL (Low Density Residential) to BP (Business Park). These two lots were mistakenly included in a commercial rezone of the northwest corner of Cathedral Canyon Drive and Dinah Shore Drive.
DISCUSSION:
These two adjacent lots, addressed at 33950 and 33972 Pueblo Trail (Assessor Parcel Numbers 680-441-021 and 022), are typical-sized single family lots for the area; the lot addressed at 33950 Pueblo Trail is vacant, and the lot addressed at 33972 Pueblo Trail is occupied with a single family residence. Lots to the north and west are zoned R1, single family residential, and developed with residential uses. The lot to the east is zoned, Neighborhood Business Park, and is developed with a 7-11 Convenience Store. Lots to the south across Dinah Shore Drive are zoned RR, Resort Residential, and occupied by a residential community.
