APPLICANT: LA QUINTA COUNTRY CLUB
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California, did, on the 10" day of July, 2007 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to
consider a request by La Quinta Country Club for approval of development
principles and design guidelines of a Specific Plan for a proposed clubhouse facility
within the La Quinta Country Club, located north of Avenue 50 and east of

WHEREAS, the La Quinta Planning Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 2007-584 for Specific Plan 2007-082 in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended, and has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant
adverse impact on the environment because mitigation measures incorporated into
the project approval will mitigate or reduce any potential impacts to a level of non -
significance; 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 9.240.010 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify recommending to the
City Council approval of said Specific Plan:
1 . Consistency with the General Plan: The proposed Specific Plan 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 Golf Course (GC) Land
Use designation.
2. Public Welfare: Approval of the proposed project will not create conditions
materially detrimental to public health, safety and general welfare as
Environmental Assessment 2007-584 was prepared, and certification of the
Environmental Assessment would bring the project in compliance with CEQA
requirements.
3. Land Use Compatibility: The proposed Specific Plan will continue the
existing Golf Course (GC) land use of the La Quinta Country Club

development and, in terms of surrounding land uses, is compatible to the
residential uses in the immediate area, such as lower density residential and
golf course uses.
4. Property Suitability: The proposed project is suitable and appropriate for the
subject property, in that it is located in an area which was the previous
location of similar uses, including a golf course club house, cart storage, and
maintenance facilities. The proposed Specific Plan can be served without
adverse impact by all necessary public services and utilities.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of
the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
