1. Consistency with the General Plan: The proposed Site Development Permit is
consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it proposes a clubhouse
facility in a location which is General Plan -designated for GC (Golf Course)
development.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code: The proposed project, as conditioned, is
consistent with the development standards of the City's Zoning Code, in
terms of architectural style, building heights, building mass, parking, and
landscaping. The Site Development Permit is consistent with the La Quinta
Zoning Map, as it proposes a clubhouse facility in an approved location zoned
for GC (Golf Course) development. The Site Development Permit has been
conditioned to ensure compliance with the zoning standards of the GC
district, and other supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the
LQMC.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The La
Quinta Planning Department has prepared Environmental Assessment 2007-
584 for Site Development Permit 2007-885 in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended, and has determined that the proposed project will not have a
significant adverse impact on the environment because mitigation measures
incorporated into the project approval will mitigate or reduce any potential
impacts to a level of non -significance.
4. Architectural Design: The architectural design aspects of the proposed Site
Development Permit provide interest through use of varied roof element
heights, enhanced building entries, facade treatments, colored roof tiles and
other design details which will be compatible with, and not detrimental to,
surrounding development, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the
City.
5. Site Design: The site design aspects of the proposed Site Development
Permit will be compatible with, and not detrimental to, surrounding
development, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the City, in
terms of interior circulation, pedestrian access, and other architectural site
design elements such as scale, mass, and appearance.
