CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2014-941
APPLICANT: T. D. DESERT DEVELOPMENT LP
PROJECT: ANDALUSIA SPA BUILDING
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did,
on the 131h day of January, 2015, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by T. D. Desert Development for approval of architectural and landscaping
plans for the development of a spa building within the clubhouse complex at
Andalusia, more particularly described as:
APN 764-200-072
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published the public
hearing notice in The Desert Sun newspaper on the 2nd day of January, 2015, as

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 Municipal 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 an added amenity within an existing country
club, which is consistent with the Land Use element and map of the General
Plan.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code
The proposed project is consistent with the Zoning Code and Specific Plan
2003-067, as amended, and complies with the development standards
specified in both of these documents.

3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The Community Development Department has determined that this project
was previously studied as part of Specific Plan 2003-067 and Environmental
Assessment 2003-483. The streets and golf course have been constructed,
and the land proposed for the current project is surrounded by existing
Clubhouse facilities. No further analysis is required under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
4. Architectural Design
The architecture and layout is compatible with, and not detrimental to, the
existing development in the clubhouse complex, and surrounding homes in
the Andalusia project. The Site Development Permit was reviewed by the
City's Architecture and Landscaping Review Board (ALRB) and found to be
satisfactory, with conditions of approval.
5. Landscape Design
The landscaping plans are consistent with the City's standards, and will be
required to comply with the City's drought tolerant landscaping
requirements.
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 approve Site Development Permit 2014-941, for
the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval.
