APNS: 761-100-003, 761-100-005, 761-100-006, 761-110-001, 761-110-002,

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 to recommend approval
of said Zone Change:
Consistency with the General Plan Based on the total possible number of units for
this project, the proposed zoning designation is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the current General Plan.
2. Public Welfare. The proposed zoning designation will not create any conditions that
would be materially detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare.
Compatibility- As proposed, the zoning 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. Property Suitability, The proposed zoning 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.

5. Change in Circumstances. The property is being annexed into the City of La Quinta.
Therefore, the proposed zoning designation is warranted because the situation and
general conditions of the property have substantially changed since the current
designation was imposed by Riverside County.

City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. 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 Zone Change; and,
3. That it does recommend approval to the City Council of Zone Change 2001-102 as
contained in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made part of, for the reasons set forth
in this Resolution effective upon annexation.
