hold a duly-noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Landmark Land Company to amend the La Quinta General Plan Land
Use Map from Special Commercial to Low Density Residential for

TOWNSHIP 6 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

the approval of said General Plan Amendment:
1. Traffic impacts caused by the implementation of GPA

density of 2-4 units per acre is consistent with the goals
and policies of the La Quinta General Plan.
