OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 98-620
TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,660 SQUARE
FOOT MAINTENANCE BUILDING AND OTHER
ACCESSORY FACILITIES FOR THE EXISTING
CITRUS COUNTRY CLUB GOLF MAINTENANCE
FACILITY AT 78-752 AVENUE 52
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 98-620
APPLICANT: KSL DESERT RESORTS, INC.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 12`h day of May, 1998, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the
request of KSL Desert Resorts, Incorporated, for approval of a 2,660 square foot
accessory maintenance building and other facilities on a 1.30 acre site at 78-752 Avenue
52, more particularly described as:
Lot #24 and portions of Common Lot AK of Tract #24889 in the
City of La Quinta, County of Riverside, State of California
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this new addition
to supplement the original EIR approval, and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings of approval for Site
Development Permit 98-620 as required under Section 9.210.010 (Site Development
Permits) of the Zoning Code:
1. Consistency with the General Plan - The proposed Site Development Permit is
consistent with the goals and policies of the La Quinta General Plan in that
maintenance facilities have been determined to be ancillary to the primary use of
the property which is low density residential with golf related services.
2. Consistency with the Specific Plan and Zoning Code - The expansion of the existing
Citrus Country Club golf course maintenance facility is consistent with the
provisions of SP 85-006 as amended and the Zoning Code which permit ancillary
facilities for the country club.
3. Compliance with CEQA - A Negative Declaration has been prepared for this case
ensuring that the project will not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, and general welfare of the surrounding area. This environmental
assessment supplements the EIR that was certified by the City Council for SP 85-
006 in 1985.
4. Architectural Design - The proposed architecture is consistent with existing building
structures, consisting of plaster cement walls and concrete tile roofing. The one
story building compliments the existing maintenance building and surrounding
REWP=P620CIT M. COND5DP 22
Planning Commission Resolution 98-033
residences with its full pitched tile roof and varied roof height. The proposal is
consistent with the architectural integrity of this private development and complies
with the "Desert Architecture" guidelines of SP 85-006 as amended, provided
Avenue 52 facing windows and doors have plaster surrounds.
5. Site Design - The proposed building is located away from existing residential
houses outside the Citrus Country Club to be sensitive to their privacy needs. A
minimum 10-foot wide setback has been provided behind the building to provide
greater separation between the new building and the future houses planned within
this gated development (i.e., 55+ feet away).
6. Landscape Design - Existing perimeter masonry walls and new and existing
landscaping buffer the golf course maintenance facility adequately to facilitate this
minor addition.
7. Sian Program - No signs are proposed with this application.
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 Planning
Commission in this case;
2. A Negative Declaration shall be filed for Site Development Permit 98-620;
3. That it does approve Site Development Permit 98-620 for the reasons set forth in
this Resolution, subject to the attached conditions.
