DEVELOPMENT PLANS TO ALLOW AN 81 UNIT SENIOR
APARTMENT COMPLEX ON A 10.17 ACRE SITE.
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2002-732
APPLICANT: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRESBYTERIAN HOMES
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 14T" day of May, 2002 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Southern California Presbyterian Homes for approval of an 81 unit senior
apartment complex, generally located at the southwest corner of Avenue 47 and
Adams Street, more particularly described as follows:
APN: 643-090-014,
WHEREAS, said Site Development Permit application has complied with
the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-68), in that the Community Development
Department has conducted an Initial Study (Environmental Assessment 2002-444),
and determined that the proposed Site Development Permit will not have a significant
impact on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental
Impact has been certified; 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 make the following mandatory findings pursuant to Section
9.210.010 of the Zoning Code to justify approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. Consistency with the General Plan: The project as proposed is consistent with
the goals and policies of the General Plan in that the design, height, scale and
mass of the project is compatible with the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
Land Use designation.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code: The proposed project is consistent with the
development standards of the High Density Residential (RH) Zoning District,
including but not limited to, setbacks, architecture, building heights, building
mass, exterior lighting, parking, circulation, open space and landscaping.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The
proposed project is consistent with the requirements of CEQA, in that
Environmental Assessment 2002-444 was prepared for this project with a
recommendation for certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact.

SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2002-732
ADOPTED: MAY 14, 2002
4. Architectural Design: The architectural design of the proposed building,
including but not limited to, architectural style, scale, building mass, materials,
colors, architectural details, roof style, and other architectural elements, is
compatible with surrounding development and with the quality of design
prevalent in the City, in that it lacks the bulky mass of a residential building due
to the articulation, stucco exterior finish, desert tone colors, tile roofs,
courtyards and trellises; the proposed buildings are adequately set back with
multiple wall planes so as to minimize the appearance of a large structural mass.
5. Site Design: The site design of the proposed project, including but not limited
to, project entries, interior circulation, pedestrian access, pedestrian amenities,
screening of equipment, trash enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site design
elements such as scale, mass, appearance, and amount of landscaping are
compatible with surrounding development and quality of design prevalent in the
City in that the proposed project meets the development standards of the City's
Zoning Code.
6. Landscape Design: As conditioned, landscaping plan for the proposed project,
including but not limited to, the location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage
of plant materials, has been designed to provide visual relief, complement the
building, visually emphasize prominent design elements, screen undesirable
views, provide a harmonious transition between buildings, and provide an
overall unifying influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project. The
proposed landscaping is compatible with the surrounding area in that the variety
of the plant palette, placement of shade trees and decorative plants, provide an
aesthetically pleasing and well functioning use of landscaping space.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1 . That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Planning Commission for this Site Development Permit;
2. That it does hereby approve Site Development Permit 2002-732 for the reasons
set forth in this Resolution, subject to the Conditions of Approval attached
hereto;
