CASE NOS. CUP 96-023 AND PP 96-571 - KEITH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
(FOR USA PROPERTIES FUND, INC.)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the
13th day of February, 1996, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of Keith
International, Inc. on behalf of USA Properties to develop a 116 unit residential project on t11.6
acres in the R-2 Zone on property located ±700 feet north of Calle Tampico, on the west side of
Washington Street, more particularly described as:
THE SOUTH ONE HALF OF THE NORTHWEST SECTION 6, T.6.S., R.7.E.
(APN: 769-03-040 & 047)
WHEREAS, said Conditional Use Permit request has complied with the requirements
of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended
(Resolution 83-68), in that the Community Development Director has proposed a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the project to mitigate any impact the project may have on the area; 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,
findings, and reasons to justify approval of said Conditional Use Permit and Plot Plan.
General Plan Compatibility - The proposed apartment complex is consistent with the goals
and policies of the La Quinta General Plan. The project is located in a Medium Density
Residential area that permits 4-8 dwelling units per acre. Medium density sites shall be near
transit facilities, open space areas, and arterial roadways. General Plan Policy 2-1.1.9 lists
the criteria for varying residential uses to allow apartments in the Medium Density Residential
Land designation. The project complies with these provisions as designed.
Zoning Code Consistency - The site is zoned R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) which
permits single and multiple family developments. One and two-story developments are
permitted and the maximum building height is 28-feet. The Zoning Code provides that other
rewpe.137
Planning Commission Resolution 96-005
development standards shall be met besides height restrictions, etc. The Commission can,
if they propose affordable units, reduce the unit sizes permitted in the Zoning Code to less
than 1,400 sq. ft. if the project is either for affordable or senior residents. They plan this
project to be affordable, therefore, the Commission can reduce the unit sizes as requested in
this application because it will help meet our regional fair -share housing needs as outlined
above. In this request, the developer is proposing units that range in size from 750 to 1,228
square feet. The sizes of the units and number of parking spaces are consistent with normal
apartment complex building standards, as designed.
Health, Safety and Welfare - Urban improvements are available at this site. They include
streets, electric, sewer and other necessary facilities to support this project. The developer
will be required to extend this facilities to their on -site units during construction. Septic
facilities for on -site sewers will not be acceptable. All work shall be meet Federal, State and
local code provisions during construction. All facilities will conform to these :standards,
therefore, health and safety policies are insured. The project will not impact the welfare of
the community as stated herein.
4. Environmental Assessment - An environmental assessment has been prepared based on the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act statutes. This assessment has
determined that additional environmental studies will be necessary before any on -site work.
These studies are identified in EA 96-311, and are made Conditions of Approval that the
developer must fulfil to proceed with the project. Approval of this proposal will not result
in a significant adverse impact on the environment due to mitigation measures contained in
the proposed Negative Declaration.
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 finds of the Commission in
this case.
2. That it does hereby adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the attached
Environmental Assessment.
That it does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit 96-023 and :Plot Plan 96-571 with
conditions as set forth in this Resolution, labeled Exhibits "A" and "B", attached hereto.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta
