A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPTION OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO.
90-153, AND APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT
TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, ELIMINATING
ZONES WHICH ARE NOT IN USE (LISTED
BELOW).
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La
Quinta, California, did on the 27th day of February, 1990,, hold
a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of the
City to eliminate zones in the Zoning Ordinance not pr<asently
in use; and,
WHEREAS, said amendment of the Zoning Ordinance has
complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County of
Riverside, Resolution No. 82-212, adopted by reference :Ln the
City of La Quinta Ordinance No. 5), in that the Planning
Director conducted an initial study, and has determined that
the Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance eliminating unused zones
will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment;
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 P:Lanning
Commission did find the following facts to justify the approval
of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment:
1. That it is unnecessary and counter productive to carry
zones in the Zoning Ordinance which are unlikely to be
used.
2. That the elimination of unused zones from the Zoning
Ordinance reduces confusion and allows the numbers to be
used for new zones which correlate more closely with the
General Plan.
3. The zones being eliminated from the Zoning Ordinance do
not have a corresponding land use designation in the
General Plan, which increases consistency between the
General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.
4. That the general impacts of the Zoning Ordinance
Amendment were considered within the MEA prepared and
adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan
and were more specifically addressed by Environmental
Assessment 90-153 prepared in conjunction with the Zoning
Ordinance Amendment.
