The Community Development Department has approved your application request to
include a detached guesthouse with a proposed single family residence at the
above address. This approval is based on the following findings:
A. The proposed use is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it is of a
residential nature and is determined to be accessory to the principal
residential structure.
B. The proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Code, as it is permitted in
the RL zoning district subject to approval of a Minor Use Permit, and as
conditioned in accordance with Section 9.60.100, regulating Guest Houses.
C. The proposed use is not subject to CEQA, per Guidelines Section 15303(e).
D. Approval of this Minor Use Permit Application will not result in conditions
detrimental to public health, safety and general welfare, nor injurious to or
incompatible with other properties and uses in the vicinity.
Based on the above findings and pursuant to Section 9.60.100 (Guest Houses), the
approval of this application is subject to the following Conditions:
1. This detached guesthouse use approval shall remain valid pursuant to
Section 9.200.080, which shall also govern any extension request.
2. Floor area of the guesthouse shall not exceed 30% of the floor area of the
main house. Architectural aspects of the guesthouse shall conform to those
of the main dwelling.

the occupants of the main residence, non-paying guests or domestic
employees, and shall not be rented, leased, let, or otherwise occupied
separately from the main residence.
5. This approval pertains only to the casita/guesthouse. Other aspects (i.e.
setbacks) of the site plan are not part of this approval.
6. The City may elect to add Conditions to this application request to mitigate
any problems that arise that are not addressed herein.
Enclosed is a deed restriction form for compliance with Condition 4 above. It is the
applicant's responsibility to have this document recorded, with the Riverside
