CASE NO: GPA 2000-066
APPLICANT: CENTURY-CROWELL COMMUNITIES
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 91i day of May, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Century -Crowell Communities for a General Plan Amendment (Circulation Element, Table
2) to reduce the size of cul-de-sac bulbs for private streets in the City of La Quinta from a
radii of 45 feet to 38 feet.
WHEREAS, said General Plan Amendment has complied with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (as amended), pursuant
to the adoption of Resolution 83-68 by the City Council, in that the Community
Development Director has conducted an Initial Study (Environmental Assessment 99-391)
and determined that the General Plan Amendment will not have a significant adverse
impact on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
is recommended; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify the recommendation
for approval of said General Plan Amendment:
This Amendment is internally consistent with those goals, objectives, and policies
of the General Plan Circulation Element to provide adequately sized streets within
the City for vehicular travel. Streets affected by this action are local streets which
are designed to provide private access to abutting residential properties.
This Amendment will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public
health, safety, and welfare in that the City Fire Marshal states their emergency
vehicles can maneuver within the 38 foot radius proposed under this Amendment
and use a 38' radius within Riverside County areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the
Commission in this case;
