WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La

various property owners and the City of La Quinta to amend the
La Quinta General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map to include
an additional 1,400 acres, located south of Avenue 50, west and
east of Madison, and east of Jefferson, and to designate the
additional area as Low Density Residential (2-4 du/ac), Very
Low Density Residential (0-2 du/ac), and Special Commercial,
and zone the area as R-1, R-1-20,000, and CPS; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission continued said Hearing to
the 26th day of September, 1989; and,
WHEREAS, said preannexation zoning and the General
Plan Amendment 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), in that the
Planning Director has determined, after reviewing the General
Plan, the area to be annexed, the proposed residential
densities, the commercial designations, the adjacent land uses,
the planned capacities of the adjacent roads, and related
matters, that the preannexation zoning and the Amendment to the
General Plan are consistent with the General Plan and with the
Master Environmental Assessment, the County General Plan, and
County Environmental Impact Report, and that no significant
environmental adverse impact will result from the proposed
Amendments; and,
MR/RESO89.041 -1-
WHEREAS, at said continued 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 preannexation zoning and General Plan
Amendment:
1. a. The properties to be designated Low Density
Residential are suitable for development under that
designation and R-1 zoning.
b. The portions of the properties to be designated
Very Low Density Residential are suitable for
development under that designation and R-1-20,000
zoning.
C. The portions of the properties to be designated
Special Commercial are suitable for development
under that designation and CPS zoning.
2. The Riverside County General Plan designates the Low
Density Residential areas as 2-B, and designates the Very
Low Density Residential areas as 3-A, and designates the
Special Commercial areas as Commercial.
3. The proposed City zoning classifications are
compatible/consistent with the existing County General
Plan land use classifications.
4. The environmental review foresees no significant adverse
environmental impact from the proposed preannexation
zoning and General Plan Amendment designating the
properties as Low Density Residential, Very Low Density
Residential, and Special Commercial, and zoning the
property R-1, R-1-20,000, and CPS.
5. The properties are within the La Quinta Sphere of
Influence, are contiguous to La Quinta's present
corporate limits, and are a part of a logical extension
of La Quinta and its General Plan.
6. The Commercial designated properties have the potential
of development in the County if the area is not
eventually annexed.
7. The additional Commercial designated properties are
envisioned to provide neighborhood commercial land uses
to serve this developing area.
