DRIVE FROM 10 TO 0 FEET
CASE NO. VAR 94-025 - BOGAN VILLAS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 24th day of May, 1994, and on the 14th day of June, 1994, hold duly -noticed Public
Hearings to consider the request of the DoDco Construction Services for a Variance to Section
9.90.071 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), to permit the first floor of the building on
the property line and/or any other items deemed necessary by the Planning Commission, more
particularly described as:
SOUTH 1/2, NORTHWEST 1/4, SECTION 6, T.6.S., R.7.E.
S.B.B.M. (APN: 769-101-010, 011, 012)
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act for the commercial project. Mitigation measures have been proposed
to reduce the overall impact of the project on the surrounding area.
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 granting of said Variance:
1. The strict application of the Village Specific Plan and C-V-C design standards deprive
the Applicant of providing an innovative design solution for his new office/retail
building.
2. The new structure setback on Desert Club Drive will not impact the immediate area
because the right-of-way width on Desert Club is larger than Calle Estado thereby
providing an opportunity for a tree lined parkway with enlarged pedestrian sidewalk
between the proposed building and the new street curb.
3. There are no physical constraints which prohibit development of the site.
4. The proposal project conditions will insure that no long-term environmental impacts
affect the community or abutting properties.
5. The Conditions of Approval will assure that the project is designed in an orderly fashion.

1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the

2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of the Environmental Assessment which
indicated that approval of the Variance would not constitute a significant impact on the
environment and hereby approves a Negative Declaration of environmental impact.
3. That it does hereby grant said Variance 94-025 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution
and subject to the attached conditions (Exhibit "A").
