persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts,
_ findings, and reasons to justify a recommendation to the City Council to deny Amendment

general welfare of the adjacent neighborhood based on the findings of

of the environment, as the project in question is not consistent with City's General
Plan Goals, Policies and Objectives.

problems for Calle Rondo residents due to an over concentration of traffic.
4. The proposed Amendment to Tract 25389 creates environmental effects that will
adversely affect the human population, either directly or indirectly, as the proposed
project will funnel La Quinta Fairways traffic onto Local Streets.

Condition #9 of Resolution 91-115 for Tract 25389.
