A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL
CONCURRENCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT NO.88-099 AND APPROVAL OF
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 88-021, A
REQUEST TO AMEND THE LA QUINTA GENERAL
PLAN LAND USE MAP FROM MEDIUM AND HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM AND HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (ALTERED

CASE NO. GPA 88-021 - A.G. SPANOS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La
Quinta, California, did, on the 9th day of May, 1989, hold a
duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of A.G.
Spanos Construction, Inc. to amend the La Quinta General Plan
Land Use Map from Medium and High Density Residential to Medium
and High Density Residential (altered configuration) and
General Commercial for a site totaling 132.5 gross acres,
located between Washington Street, Miles Avenue, Adams Street
and the Coachella Valley Water District Wash, La Quinta,
excluding the small triangular area just north of the Wash -and
just south of the east/west Avenue 46 alignment (Westward Ho
Drive), more particularly described as:
THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 19, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH,
RANGE 7 EAST, SAN BERNARDINO BASE AND MERIDIAN; 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 General Plan Amendment:
1. Traffic impacts caused by the implementation of GPA
88-021 can be mitigated to a large degree.
2. Location of a general commercial land use as proposed by
this project would not be viable from a near -term land
use inventory perspective. However, development of
competitive properties and increased demand after the
year 2000 will create commercial demand to support
commercial development on this site.
MR/RESo89.015 -1-
3. The request for commercial land use and a multi -family
residential area at a density of +15 units per acre is
consistent with the goals and policies of the La Quinta
General Plan.
4. This General Plan Amendment application complies with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County of Riverside
Resolution No. 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La
Quinta Ordinance No. 5). Mitigation measures can be
generated to reduce the impact of General Commercial and
High Density Residential land uses on the subject
property.
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 approval of General Plan Amendment No.
88-021, consisting of a Land Use Map Amendment as
described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto.
