PROJECT PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Specific Plan is to implement the completion of the intersection of Ramon Road with Cathedral Canyon Drive , provide for the proper intersection design of side streets in the vicinity of said intersection , establish controls and incentives to minimize direct lot access unto Ramon Road and to provide development standards for commercial development of the study area . To implement this plan certain streets will be widened and vacated and alley systems will be modified to encourage common reciprocal accessways among individual lots within the block. Traffic studies have been performed which indicate that the existing public improvements in the study area and traffic conditions create severe traffic hazards and require correction. These hazards presently deter commercial development of the area and are beyond the scope of being solved by individual property owners . However with the implementation of this plan these deficiencies can be resolved , facilitating the development of commercial property. DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS 1 . All development shall conform to the requirements of the base zone district and regulations contained contained herein . "General Provisions" regulations contained in Division B of Article V of the Cathedral City Zoning Ordinance shall supplement the said base district regulations . 2. Streets/Alleys/Vacations/Utilities Prior to the issuance of building permits on any site within the specific plan area , in addition to any other public needs , the necessary width of right-of-way for alley (or common accessways ) and street purposes shall be dedicated or vacated as illustrated in Exhibit D, dated April 9, 1987 to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Development , including but not limited to the necessary installation of underground and aboveground utilities . The extent of said dedications/vacations or establishment of common accessways necessary for the development of individual lots shall be determined at time of site plan review or review by City - 1 - Council of capital projects . Said property owner shall also guarantee the improvement of necessary public improvements , accessways and utilities to the ultimate standard prior to permit issuance , including but not limited to pavement widening ( reconstruction) , curbs , gutters , parkways , sidewalks , drive approaches , buffers/screens , landscaping , irrigation . 3 .

Disposition of excess properties shall be as prescribed by law as determined by the City Council . 4. Common Accessways/Parking Direct permanent access to individual lots will be prohibited as shown on Exhibit D, dated April 9, 1987. Where feasible as determined by the City , the development will be required to construct common accessways and furnish reciprocal access and circulation agreements to benefit properties within the designated block . Common parking facilities will be encouraged , particularly along designated alleys and common accessways where common access is already available. Access drives and parking patterns for individual lots taking access from Ramon Road will be prohibited , based upon traffic conditions along Ramon Road , particularly at the intersection of Cathedral Canyon Drive. However , a drive approach leading into an approved common accessway may be permitted at the intersection of Cathedral Canyon Drive and Ramon Road as depicted on Exhibit D, dated April 9 , 1987 provided that said access is signalized . A new common accessway to Ramon Road may also be permitted at Avenida Valdez . Where possible , left turn access from Ramon Road should be maintained . The length and location of the proposed raised medians shall be designed in a manner to allow safe left turn movements into said existing driveways . 5. Building Placement The developer is encouraged to situate or group the main structures to the front of the lot and parking and loading functions to the rear of the building . Parking shall be screened from public view from Ramon Road and adjacent residential zones . 6. Setbacks/Landscaping Front yards (Ramon Road ) : 20 feet from ultimate right-of-way line. - 2 - Side yards : none Street side yards : 10 feet from ultimate right-of-way line.

The type and nature of hardscape , including sidewalks , street trees and landscaping features shall be determined during site plan review. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner of any existing or proposed development to maintain all landscaping on private property and public rights of way . 7. Buffers/Screening All fencing and screening material shall either be decorative masonry or stucco treatment integrated with the architectural features of the project . Where a project or parcel abuts or is across the street/alley from a residential zone , a six-foot high solid wall shall be installed unless the the design of the site creates a natural buffer ( i .e . , building) , thereby eliminating any activity on the side of said buffer . In addition to the wall , landscaping shall be provided which establishes an evergreen screen effect to a minimum height of 15 feet . 8. Lighting All off-street parking , storage areas , outdoor display area with proposed lighting , whether for security purposes or otherwise shall contain fixtures and be designed so that light emitted is shielded to eliminate glare unto adjacent 1: property or right-of-way . 9.
