Consistency with the General Plan Site Development Permit 2014-1004, Extension 2 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it proposes single-family residential homes within a location which is designated in the General Plan for Low Density Residential development. 2. Consistency with the Zoning Code The proposed units, as conditioned, are consistent with the development standards of the City’s Zoning Code 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 single-family residential community which is designated for Low Density Residential development. The site development permit has been conditioned to ensure compliance with the zoning standards of the Low Density Residential district, and other Planning Commission Resolution 2019- Site Development Permit 2014-1004 Extension 2 (SDP2018-0013) Estates at Coral Mountain January 8, 2019 Page 2 of 3 supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. 3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Processing of Site Development Permit 2014-1004, Extension 2 (SDP 2018-0013) for the proposed use is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Design and Development Department has determined that the time extension request is consistent with Environmental Assessment 2004-504 prepared for this project. No changed circumstances or conditions are proposed which would trigger the preparation of subsequent environmental analysis pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 4. Architectural Design The architecture and layout of the units are compatible with, and not detrimental to, the existing surrounding residential land uses, and is consistent with the development standards in the Municipal Code. The units are concluded to be appropriate for the proposed location, and supplemental design elements (stone veneer accents, various shades of tile roofing, etc.) appropriately enhance the architecture of the units. 5. Site Design The site design of the project, including project entries, interior circulation, exterior lighting, and other site design elements are compatible with surrounding development and with the quality of design prevalent in the city. 6. Landscape Design The proposed project is consistent with 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.
