consider the request of a property owner to amend the La Quinta General Plan Land

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; and that no significant
environmental adverse impact will result from the proposed Amendments; and,

for development under that designation and R-1 Zoning.
b. The portions of the properties to be designated Medium High Density
Residential are suitable for development under that designation and R-2
zoning.
C. The portions of the properties to be designated General Commercial are
suitable for development under that designation and CP Zoning.

existing County General Plan Land Use classifications.
3. The environmental review foresees no significant adverse environmental
impact from the proposed preannexation zoning and General Plan Amendments.

contiguous to La Quinta's present corporate limits, and are a part of a logical
extension of La Quinta and its General Plan.

neighborhood commercial land uses to serve this developing area.

City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
