RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION TO 22.21 ACRES LOCATED

AVENUE 54
CASE: ZONE CHANGE 2000-095
APPLICANT: KSL LAND HOLDINGS, INC.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 12th day of September, 2000, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to
consider amending the City of La Quinta Zoning Map from Community Commercial
(CC) to Medium Family Residential (RM) for a 22.21 acre parcel at the southeast
corner of Avenue 54 and PGA Boulevard in PGA West (Specific Plan 83-002), as
shown on Exhibit "A," more particularly described as:
Being a subdivision of Parcels 1, and A-F of TPM 29799
Being a portion of Parcel 8 of PM 20426 (APN: 775-080-002)
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 pursuant to Section
9.220.010 of the Zoning Ordinance to justify a recommendation for approval of said
Zone Change:
1. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the General Plan Land Use Element and with General Plan Amendment 2000-
070. The proposed residential land use is compatible with surrounding low
density residential uses.
2. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the policies of the PGA West
Specific Plan (Amendment #4) to provide a full range of land use alternatives
within the master planned community oriented around multiple golf courses and
other community recreation amenities, and circumstances have changed within
the development to warrant elimination of the commercial district.
3. The proposed change from Community Commercial (CC) to Medium Density
Residential (RM) does not alter the number of residential units planned for PGA
West, it only relocates residential units to a new location.
4. Approval of the Zone Change will not create conditions materially detrimental
to the public welfare in that the resulting residential district provides a land use
buffer for Low Density Residential uses to the south and east within PGA West.
