determined, after reviewing the Amendments, the Environmental
Assessment for the Specific Plan for the Village at La Quinta,
MR/RE5O88.015 -1-
and the General Plan Master Environmental Assessment, that the
proposed Amendment of the Municipal Code will have no
significant adverse environmental impact; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and
considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all
interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning
Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify
the approval of said Amendment of the Municipal Code:
1. The adopted General Plan calls for a "Village Commercial"
land use designation for the Village area.
The adopted Specific Plan for the Village at La Quinta
has determined specific uses, development standards, and
other matters for the Village area.
3. Both the General Plan and the Specific Plan necessitate
the Amendment of the Municipal Code to create appropriate
zones, uses, standards, and procedures to carry out the
intent of the Plans in order to enhance the consistency
of the zoning with the Plans.
4. The environmental review indicates the development which
may occur pursuant to the Amendments has been addressed
in the General Plan and the Master Environmental
Analysis, and that adoption of these amendments is
necessary for implementation and furtherance of said
General Plan.
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 it does hereby confirm the conclusion of
Environmental Assessment No. 88-094, in that the
Amendments to the Municipal Code will not result in any
significant adverse effect on the environment;
3. That the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council adoption of an Ordinance amending the
Municipal Code Title 9, PLANNING AND ZONING, by inserting
three new chapters and amending two chapters, as
presented in Exhibit Al through A5, attached hereto.
