A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ANNOUNCING FINDINGS AND
GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM MAXIMUM WALL HEIGHT
LIMITATION.
CASE NO. VAR 90-014 -WILLIAM & LESLIE PUGET
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 13th day of November, 1990, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to
consider the request of William and Leslie Puget for a Variance to Section 9.204.020
of the La quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), permitting a wall height of nine feet for
property located at 77-600 Avenida Fernando, more particularly described as:
REFER TO EXHIBIT "A"
WHEREAS, said Variance request has complied with the requirements
of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County
of Riverside, Resolution 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La Quinta Ordinance
5), in that the Planning Director conducted an Initial Study, and has determined
that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment; and
WHEREAS, 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 Variance:
The strict application of the maximum wall height requirement to the subject
property will deprive it of privileges such as privacy and quiet enjoyed by
other similarly zoned property in the area, in that there is a special
circumstance due to location of surroundings (i.e., the Hotel parking area)
which deprives this property of those privileges.
Approval of the Variance as conditioned will not constitute the granting of a
special privilege inconsistent with limitations on other similarly zoned
property in the area as other properties do not share the same proximity to
the Hotel parking area.
3. The Conditions of Approval will assure that the permitted 3-foot increase in
wall height will not adversely affect adjacent parcels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Commission in this case;
That it does hereby confirm the determination of the Planning Director, which
indicated that the Variance request will have no significant impact on the
environment .

3. That it does hereby grant said Variance 90-014 for the reasons set forth and
subject to the conditions labeled Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
