CLUBHOUSE FACILITY WITHIN THE LA QUINTA COUNTRY CLUB
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2007-885
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 site, architectural and
landscaping plans for a proposed clubhouse and ancillary facilities within the La
Quinta Country Club, located north of Avenue 50 and east of Eisenhower Drive,
more particularly described as:
APN: 658-190-002, 658-190-003
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Planning Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 2007-584 for Site Development Permit 2007-885 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, the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee of the
City of La Quinta, California, did, on the 61" day of June, 2007, hold a public
meeting to review and recommend approval of architecture and landscape plans for
said clubhouse facility for the La Quinta Country Club; 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 proposed Site Development Permit is
consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it proposes a clubhouse
facility in a location which is General Plan -designated for GC (Golf Course)
development.
Planning Commission Resolution 2007-030
Site Development Permit 2007-885
La Quinta Country Club
July 10, 2007
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code: The proposed project, as conditioned, is
consistent with the development standards of the City's Zoning Code, in
terms of architectural style, building heights, building mass, parking, and
landscaping. The Site Development Permit is consistent with the La Quinta
Zoning Map, as it proposes a clubhouse facility in an approved location zoned
for GC (Golf Course) development. The Site Development Permit has been
conditioned to ensure compliance with the zoning standards of the GC
district, and other supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the
LQMC.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The La
Quinta Planning Department has prepared Environmental Assessment 2007-
584 for Site Development Permit 2007-885 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.
4. Architectural Design: The architectural design aspects of the proposed Site
Development Permit provide interest through use of varied roof element
heights, enhanced, building entries, facade treatments, colored roof tiles and
other design details which will be compatible with, and not detrimental to,
surrounding development, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the
City.
5. Site Design: The site design aspects of the proposed Site Development
Permit will be compatible with, and not detrimental to, surrounding
development, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the City, in
terms of interior circulation, pedestrian access, and other architectural site
design elements such as scale, mass, and appearance.
6. Landscape Design: The proposed project is consistent with the landscaping
standards and plant palette and implements the standards for landscaping
and aesthetics established in the General Plan and Zoning Code, as well as
the proposed Specific Plan for the La Quinta Country Club. The project
landscaping for the proposed Site Development Permit, as conditioned, shall
unify and enhance visual continuity of the proposed homes with surrounding
development. Landscape improvements are designed and sized to provide
visual appeal. The permanent overall site landscaping utilizes various tree and
shrub species to accentuate views and blend with the building architecture.
