A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING

PORTION OF TENTATIVE TRACT 28470 GENERALLY
LOCATED SOUTH OF 52nv AVENUE AND EAST OF AVENIDA
BERMUDAS
CASE NO. CHANGE OF ZONE 96-081 -TRADITION CLUB ASSOCIATES, LLC
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 25d' day of February, and the 4'~' day of March, 1997, hold aduly-noticed Public Hearing as
requested by Tradition Club Associates, LLC, on the request to rezone a portion of the proposed golf
course contained within Tentative Tract 28470, generally located southeast of the corner of 52nd
Avenue and Avenida Bermudas, more particularly described as follows:
A PORTION OF SECTIONS 6 AND 7, T6S, R7E, SBB&M
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing held on February 25, and March 4, 1997, upon
hearing and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard,
said Planning Commission did make the following findings to justify the recommendation for approval
of said Change of Zone:
The proposed change of zone will result in consistency with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the La Quinta General Plan for portions of the proposed golf course.
2. Approval of the change of zone will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed zone change is compatible with the zoning on adjacent properties in that golf
course land uses are generally found within residential developments, both private and public.
The proposed zone change is suitable and appropriate for the subject property in that the area
of the proposed golf course follows an existing design created by the construction of flood
control facilities in 1988 by the Coachella Valley Water District.
Approval of the zone change is warranted because the situation and the general conditions
ofthe property have substantially changed since the existing zoning was imposed by way of
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance effective September 1996 in which golf courses were
no longer a permitted use in residential zoning districts, and that they are now required to be
within the GC (Golf Course) Zoning District.
