CASE NO. PARCEL MAP 27727, AMENDMENT #1
WINCHESTER ASSET MANAGEMENT
(FOR LA QUINTA GOLF PROPERTIES)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 22nd day of June, 1993, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Winchester Asset Management (for La Quinta Golf Properties) for an amendment to an
approving parcel map to subdivide ±200 acres into 4 parcels, located at the westerly terminus
of Schwabaker Road (Keller Pit Road), more particularly described as:
A PORTION OF THE NORTH HALF OF
SECTION 29, T6S, R7E, S.B.B.M.
WHER1 AS, said amended Parcel Map has complied with the requirements of
"The Rules to rmplement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as amended), and
adopted by City Council Resolution 83-68, in that the Planning Director has conducted an initial
study, and has determined that the proposed amended parcel map will not have a significant
adverse impact on the environment and the Negative Declaration which has been adopted is
sufficient; and,
WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts have been identified and
incorporated into the approval conditions for amended Parcel Map 27727, thereby requiring that
monitoring of those mitigation measures be undertaken to assure compliance with them; 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 Commission
did find the following facts to justify the recommendation for approval of said parcel map:
1. That amended Parcel Map 27727, as conditionally recommended, is generally consistent
with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for land use density,
unit type, circulation requirements, R-1-20,000 & R-5 Zoning District development
standards, and design requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.

2. The proposed amended circulation design, as recommended, is, therefore, suitable for
the proposed land division.
3. That the design of the amended parcel map, as conditionally recommended, will be
developed with public sewers and water, and therefore, is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
4. That the design of amended Parcel Map 27727 will not conflict with easements acquired
by the public at large for access through the project, since alternate easements for access
and for use have been provided that are substantially equivalent to those previously
acquired by the public.
5. That the amended Parcel Map 27727, as conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance
of the landscape common areas.
6. That the amended Parcel Map 27727, as conditioned, provides storm water retention,
park facilities, and noise mitigation.
7. That general impacts from the amended Map were considered within the MEA prepared
and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
WHEREAS, the City Council at the meeting of the 401 day of May, 1993, did
approve the original parcel map by adoption of Resolution 93-37, subject to conditions; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission on the 27th day of April, 1993, did take
action to recommend approval of said original parcel map by adoption of Planning Commission
Resolution 93-017; and,
WHEREAS, in the review of this parcel map, the Planning Commission has
considered the effect of the contemplated action of the housing needs of the region for purposes
of balancing the needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City of La Quinta
and its environs with available fiscal and environmental resources;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the Commission in this
case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of Environmental Assessment 93-255 that a
Negative Declaration has been adopted, relative to the environmental concerns of this
amended parcel map.
RESOPC.111 2
3. That it does hereby recommend approval to the City Council for the subject amended
Parcel Map 27727 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
conditions.
