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 to recommend approval
of said General Plan Amendment:
1. Consistency with the General Plan. Based on the total possible number of units for
this project, the proposed land use designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the current General Plan.
2. Public Welfare. The proposed land use designation will not create any conditions
that would be materially detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare.
3. Compatibility. As proposed, the land use designation is compatible with the land
use designations on the adjacent properties currently located within the City of La
Quinta. The surrounding development in the area is characterized by single family
residences around golf course development.
4. PropertySuitability, The proposed land use designation is suitable and appropriate
for the subject property in that there are a number of developments in the immediate
area which have the same designation and the subject property is configured well
for the proposed uses.

designation was imposed by Riverside County.

City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the Planning
Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion that the addendum to the Environmental
Impact Report assessed the environmental concerns of the General Plan

3. That it does recommend approval to the City Council of General Plan Amendment
2001-079 as contained in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made part of, for the
reasons set forth in this Resolution effective upon annexation.
