APPLICANT: KSL LAND HOLDINGS, INC.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,

the request of KSL Land Holdings for approval of a 36 space parking lot for the PGA

Portion of APN: 775-220-018; Sections 16 and 21, T6S, R7E, SBBM
WHEREAS, said Site Development Permit is part of Specific Plan 83-002
(PGA West). This application has been determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 65457(A) of the Planning and Zoning
Law because Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #83062922) was
prepared and certified by the City Council in 1984. No changed circumstances, or
conditions, exist which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent EIR pursuant to
Public Resources Code 21166; 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 applicable findings to justify approval of
said Site Development Permit:
1. The project elements comply with the requirements of the City's General Plan
and Specific Plan 83-002 in that ancillary parking for the clubhouse will ensure
no negative impacts to adjacent land uses.
2. The proposed parking lot provides proper access from PGA Boulevard to the
existing clubhouse parking lot. A two-way aisleway and 9' by 18' parking stalls
are provided ensuring easy maneuverability for employees and guests coming
to the clubhouse facilities pursuant to Chapter 9.150 of the Zoning Ordinance,
subject to conditions being met.
3. Perimeter site landscaping is required for this new parking lot ensuring shade
coverage for parked vehicles (i.e., minimum 24-inch, 1-1/2" caliper size trees).
Additional landscaping of shrubs will conceal the facility from view of residential
properties in the vicinity. Permanent irrigation shall be provided.
