WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did make the following findings of
conformity with respect to the proposed project:
1 . The proposed Redevelopment Agency Project is in conformance with the La
Quinta General Plan, as follows:
A. LAND USE ELEMENT: The recently adopted General Plan land use
diagram designates the site as Tourist Commercial (TC) and Golf Course
(GC) which permits the identified uses.
B. CIRCULATION ELEMENT: Avenue 52 is designated as a Secondary Image
Corridor/Primary Arterial; and Jefferson Street is a Primary Image
Corridor/Major Arterial. Avenue 54 along the property frontage is not
designated. All streets, with the exception of Avenue 54, function as
restricted access, higher -volume corridors for purposes of moving traffic
around neighborhood perimeters with minimal interruption of traffic flow.
This ensures movement of traffic around the Site, with specific
intersection locations for general access to the area developments.
C. OPEN SPACE ELEMENT: The mountainous area to the west of the Site
is designated as Open Space. Development is not proposed in this area
which is consistent with the General Plan.

provide affordable golfing opportunities for its residents. This project is
therefore, consistent with those policies.
