MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
' From: Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner
Date: November 30, 1983
Subject: CHANGE OF zam CASE No. 83-004, A Request for a Zone Change From
R-2-8,000 and R-1-12,000 to R-3-2,800, R-3-20,000 and R-5 on Property
Located at the Southeast Corner of Washington Street and Fred Waring
Drive; Indian Wells Villas, A Joint Venture, Applicant.
,__T ac * E
The site is located within the area recently annexed by the City. The Applicant had
obtained approval from Riverside County for a 354-unit condominium development on the
60± acre site, with a condition of approval being that a change of zone be required
in accordance with the development plan.
Although the County Board of Supervisors approved the change of zone request on
March 29, 1983, the ordinance officially adopting the change of zone was not approved
prior to the date that La Quinta prezoned the Property in the then -proposed annexation
area. Therefore, any change of zone which was approved by Riverside County in the
annexation area after April 15, 1983, is superceded by La Quinta's zoning.
ANALYSIS
The Applicant is requesting a change of zone from R-1-12,000 (One Family Dwellings,
12,000 Square Feet Lot Area Per Dwelling) and R-2-8,000 (Miltiple Family Dwellings,
8,000 Square Feet Lot Area Per Dwelling) to R-3-20,000 (General Residential, 20,000
Square Feet Per Dwelling), R-3-2,800 (General Residential, 2,800 Square Feet Per
Dwelling), and R-5 (open Space Combining Zone - Residential Developments). As shown
on the exhibit, the zone boundaries follow the development plan of the residential
-development. The area proposed for R-5 zoning encompasses those areas containing
community recreation facilities and the golf course; the R-2-2,800 zoning covers
those areas proposed for residential units; and the R-3-20,000 covers only that area
which the Applicant proposed for a small office building. The overall density of
the development is six (6) units per acre.
The proposed zoning is consistent with Tentative Tract Map No. 18915, Amended No. 1,
the approved development plan. The request is also consistent with the City's
General Plan designation for the site of Medium Density Residential (5-10 dwellings
per acre). As determined during the approval of the prezoning of this area, the
proposed density is compatible with the surrounding zoning and land uses.
Riverside County Planning Department prepared an environR-ental assessment on the
project and determined that approval of the project would not significantly adversely
affect the environment. The County Board of Supervisors adopted this Negative
Declaration on March 29, 1983. Staff recommends that the City adopt the Negative
Declaration for the environmental assessment.
