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 multi -use retirement community on a
property which, if approved, will be General Plan -designated for MHDR
(Medium High Density Residential) development.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code
The proposed structures, as conditioned, are consistent with the
development standards of the City's Zoning Code and the Centre Pointe
Specific Plan, in terms of architectural style, building height, building
mass, and landscaping. The community is consistent with the La Quinta
Zoning Map, as it proposes a multi -unit age -restricted residential
community which, if approved, will be General Plan -designated for MHDR
(Medium High Density Residential) development. The site development
permit has been conditioned to ensure compliance with the zoning
standards of the MHDR district, and other supplemental standards as
established in Title 9 of the La Quinta Municipal Code and the Centre
Pointe Specific Plan.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The La Quinta Planning Department has prepared Environmental
Assessment 201 1-617 for this project, in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The
Planning Director has determined that although the proposed project
could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been
made by or agreed to by the project proponent and mitigation measures
have been incorporated. Therefore, the Planning Director recommended
that a Mitigated" Negative Declaration of environmental impact and
associated Mitigation Monitoring Program be adopted and the City
Council did adopt, said Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring Program.
4. Architectural Design
The Desert Contemporary architecture and layout of the project site is
compatible with the surrounding land uses. Because the existing
buildings within the Centre Pointe development near the proposed facility
are of a Modern and Mediterranean/Spanish: architectural style, the Desert
City Council Resolution 2012-063
Site Development Permit 2011-921
Lenity Group, LLC / La Quinta Retirement Community
Adopted: October 16, 2012
Page 3
Contemporary style does not conflict with the surrounding built
environment. Enough architectural articulations enhance the buildings,
and the height, mass, and scale of the buildings are appropriate for the
proposed location.
Furthermore, the visual impact of the three-story Retirement Residence is
minimized from view from the existing residential neighborhood to the
east. The building is set back over 180 feet from the closest existing
residence to the east, and review of the eastern property line transition
plan shows that the Duplex Cottage units and the segments of the
Assisted Living Facility closest to the property line have minimal visual
impact on the existing residential neighborhood due to massing, height,
and landscaping buffers.
5. Site Design
The site design aspects of the proposed community, as conditioned, 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. The buildings are
properly sized with regards to height and floor area, and are situated at
engineer -approved locations with regards to vehicular and pedestrian
access.
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. The project landscaping
for the community, as conditioned, shall unify and enhance visual
continuity of the community with the surrounding development.
Landscape improvements are designed and sized to provide visual appeal.
The permanent overall site landscaping utilizes various tree and shrub
species to blend with the building architecture.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings
of the City Council in this case; and
