Committee approves 6‑foot setback reduction under Palm Springs hillside rules

The Architecture Review Committee voted to allow an administrative minor modification that reduces the front‑yard setback for 855 West Panorama Road to roughly 18 feet 8 inches, citing the property’s hillside status and applicable local relief standards. Planning staff told the committee hillside lots may receive up to a 10‑foot reduction in setbacks under city policy, and the applicant requested about a 6‑foot reduction.
