A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LA
QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DENIAL OF GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 86-016, A REQUEST TO
AMEND THE LA QUINTA GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP FROM LOW AND
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR
THE AREA IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MILES AVENUE AND
WASHINGTON STREET
CASE: NO. GPA 86-016 - C.W. MEISTERLIN
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California, did on the 9th day of June, 1987, hold a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the request to amend the La Quinta
General Plan Land Use Map from Low and Medium Density Residential to
High Density Residential for approximately 71 acres in the northeast
corner of Miles Avenue and Washington Street;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing and upon hearing and considering
all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts to exist
to justify the denial of said General Plan Land Use Map:
1. The request to change the Land Use Plan on a 71.4 acre site
from Low and Medium Density to High Density Residential is
inconsistent with the goals and policies of the La Quinta
General Plan.
2. The amount of current vacant High Density Residential (8 to
16 units per acre) land use designated property and
Mixed-Use Commercial property does adequately provide
development opportunities for higher density residential
projects within the City.
3. Compatibility between the High Density Residential uses on
surrounding properties cannot be ensured at this time.
4. There are no physical constraints on the site which would
prevent development at the current designation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Commission in this case;
2. That the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council denial of General Plan Amendment No. 86-016.
