testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard,
said City Council did make the following mandatory findings recommending

growth. The proposed project is consistent with the City's goals, objectives
and policies of the General Plan in that the project will assist the City by
providing a mix of land uses for future development to help meet the needs
of the community per General Plan Amendment 2003-092.
B. Public Welfare: Approval of the proposed land use change will not create
conditions materially detrimental to public health, safety and general welfare
in that the proposed change is consistent with existing Lake La Quinta land
uses. Adding this project to the Lake La Quinta development (i.e., Low
Density Residential parcels) will establish a land use density of 2.7 dwelling
units per acre which is within the LDR category range pursuant to the
applicant's development applications.

uses and in conformance with General Plan Amendment 2003-092.

appropriate for the property in that it is consistent with the Lake La Quinta
community and in accordance with Zoning Code standards. Urban services
are currently accessible to the parcels in accordance with the goals and
objectives of the City General Plan.
