In order to classify, regulate, restrict and segregate the uses of land and buildings, to regulate and restrict the height and bulk of buildings, to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces about buildings, and to regulate the density of population, twenty-two classes of zoning districts are established by this title to be known as follows:

Clearly state a citizens' policy governing preservation of the Santa Rosa Mountains located within the city limits, the sphere of influence or the jurisdiction of the city, or any lands proposed for annexation by the, city, particularly lands from the area of Palm Springs, California designated the Palm Hills Sector.

Protect and preserve significant open space areas, including hillsides, ridgelines, view corridors, scenic vistas, and other environmentally sensitive habitat portions of the Palm Hills Annexation Sector.

Guarantee the right of Cathedral City citizens to determine land use policies for those portions of the Santa Rosa Mountains within the city limits or sphere of influence, or lands annexed by, or under the jurisdiction of the city.

Preserve and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by limiting development in the Santa Rosa Mountains so as to avoid impacts to visual and biological resources, and limit the potential for erosion and flooding.

Ensure adequate citizen participation in, and monitoring of, discretionary land use approvals by the city within the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Provide for developments which will result in preservation of the natural character of the hillside.

The Santa Rosa Mountains are a Valuable Natural Resource. This resource provides a visually appealing backdrop to the city and is an environmental and biological ecosystem of importance to all citizens of the city. The quality of life in the city is uniquely enhanced by sweeping views of the tranquil hills surrounding the community. These hills constitute a significant natural topographical feature of the community because they are visible to citizens residing in and around Coachella Valley as well as to all persons, residents, or visitors traveling the major highway arterials. It is essential to preserve and respect the natural topographical features of the hills surrounding this community.

Continued Rapid Growth is Projected. Coachella Valley's population is projected, by the Riverside County department of finance, to more than double in the twenty-year period 1990—2010 from 215,256 to 498,754. Cathedral City's population is projected to increase sixty-eight percent in the same period. The Palm Hills Annexation is a potential expansion area for development requiring appropriate means of protection from projected growth. The absence of protection will cause severe social, economic and environmental problems. Palm Hills Annexation Sector protection is necessary to maintain the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life of the citizens of the city. Therefore, the public health, safety, and general welfare will be enhanced and promoted by the adoption of this chapter.

This Chapter is Necessary to Protect the Health, Safety, and Welfare of the Citizens of the City. The citizens of the city have considered the effect, if any, this action may have on development of the hillside and have balanced development needs against the public service needs of its residents and have determined that this chapter is necessary to promote and protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

This Chapter Allows Balanced and Prudent Development in the Palm Hills Annexation Sector. This chapter insures that Palm Hills Annexation Sector development will occur in a balanced and prudent manner, which will allow Palm Hills Annexation Sector landowners a reasonable use of their land while protecting the city's residents through appropriate regulatory mechanisms and policies to the extent, if any, to which this chapter operates.

Increased Opportunity for Citizen Participation is Desirable. As preservation of this natural resource is of importance to all citizens, the existing practice of notifying only those property owners within three hundred feet of a proposed project site provides inadequate opportunity for affected parties to participate in the city's decision-making process. Typically, hillsides and undeveloped areas contain few land owners. Consequently, by increasing the radius, more individuals will be given notice, which will result in an increased and more desirable level of community involvement.

The Palm Hills Annexation Sector, as defined in Section 9.52.050, will be permanently protected to preserve the visual, biological and non-intrusive recreational values of this area.

The Palm Hills Annexation Protection Plan will be extended to those lands within the Santa Rosa Mountains which may in the future fall within the city's jurisdiction.

Citizens shall have the opportunity to participate in decisions affecting the Palm Hills Annexation Sector.

In order to protect the natural environment and preserve the open space resources of the Palm Hills Annexation Sector, including the visual, biological, and non-intrusive recreational resources, the city council shall establish a Cathedral City mountain conservancy or a Cathedral City land-holding trust.

This chapter shall apply to all properties and projects covered by its terms, except it shall not apply to any project which has obtained a vested right to develop under California or federal law as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter.

The construction of one single-family home on a legal lot of record in existence on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be exempt to the extent necessary to avoid an unconstitutional taking of private property.
