CASE NO.: SPECIFIC PLAN 2003-067, AMENDMENT NO. 3
APPLICANT: CORAL OPTION I, LLC
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did,
on the 22nd day of October, 2013, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Coral Option I, LLC for consideration of an amendment to the existing
Andalusia at Coral Mountain Specific Plan in order to relocate the golf clubhouse to
Planning Area I, more particularly described as:
APN: 764-200-068, 764-210-015 and Lot 87 and
portions of Lots 85, 86 and 0 of Tract 31681-2
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published a public
hearing notice in The Desert Sun newspaper on October 10, 2013, as prescribed
by the Municipal Code. Public hearing notices were also mailed to all property
owners within 500 feet of the site; and,

Section 9.240.010 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify recommending to the
City Council approval of said Specific Plan Amendment:
1 . Consistency with the General Plan

central location, reducing trips and improving the sense of community.
2. Public Welfare
Approval of the proposed specific plan amendment will not create
conditions materially detrimental to public health, safety and general
welfare as the Community Development Department has determined that
this request is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act,
Guidelines Section 15332, Infill Development. The Specific Plan area has
been previously analyzed under CEQA, development occurs on and
around Planning Area I, and no impacts relating to traffic, noise, air
quality or water resources will occur as a result of the proposed project.
3. Land Use Compatibility
The proposed Specific Plan amendment incorporates land uses that are
compatible with zoning on adjacent properties. The design regulations
specified in the Specific Plan amendment for the clubhouse are
compatible with the existing tennis and swim club facilities adjacent to
the site.
4. Property Suitability
The uses permitted in the specific plan amendment are suitable and
appropriate for the subject property in that the addition of the clubhouse
at this location will reduce internal vehicle trips within the community.
The current specific plan area is 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:
SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the Findings of the
Planning Commission in this case;
SECTION 2. That it does hereby recommend City Council approval of Specific Plan
2003-067 Amendment 2 to the City Council for the reasons set forth in this
Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City of La
