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 Municipal Code to justify approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed Site Development Permit is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan, as it proposes single-family residential homes on a site
designated in the General Plan for Low Density Residential development.
2. Consistency with 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 proposed project is consistent
with the La Quinta Zoning Map, as it proposes single-family homes on lands
designated Low Density Residential. The project has been conditioned to
ensure compliance with the zoning standards of the Low Density Residential

zone, and other supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the La
Quinta Municipal Code.
3. Compliance with CEQA
The Community Development Department has determined that this request
has been previously assessed in conjunction with Environmental
Assessment 2004-541. 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 are
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, as conditioned, shall enhance visual
continuity of the community with the surrounding development. Landscape
improvements are designed and sized to provide visual appeal.
7. Compatibility Review
a. The development standards required in Section 9.60.300(I) have been
satisfied, and the project is compatible with the existing three model
homes within the project.
b. The architectural and other design elements of the new units will be
compatible with and not detrimental to the three existing model homes
insofar as the new models are of a complementary style to the existing
homes.

Minor Adjustment 2014-0002
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code requires a ten foot side -yard building setback for
homes of 22 feet in height or more, and lots 2, 18, 21, 24, 26, 28, 49 and 52 do not
meet the building setback requirement due to the existing layout of the lots previously
approved; and,
WHEREAS, Minor Adjustments are permitted to provide for minor deviations
from certain development standards. The applicant has proposed a Minor Adjustment
to 9 feet for the side yards on these lots. With approval of the Minor Adjustment, the
proposal will meet all Municipal Code development standards; 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 9.210.040
of the Municipal Code to justify approval of said Minor Adjustment:
1. Consistency with General Plan
Minor Adjustment 2015-0003 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan
in that the proposal does not alter the approved land use for the property, or
affect land use on surrounding similar properties.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code
Minor Adjustment 2015-0003 is consistent with the intent of the La Quinta
Zoning Code, in that the proposed project will be conditioned to comply with
all other development standards as required under said Zoning Code, and
this condition is created by pre-existing lot layout.
3. Compliance with CEQA
The Community Development Department has determined that this request
has been previously assessed in conjunction with Environmental
Assessment 2004-541. No changed circumstances or conditions are
proposed which would trigger the preparation of subsequent environmental
analysis pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166.
4. Surrounding Uses
Approval of Minor Adjustment 2015-0003 is not detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare, nor injurious or incompatible with other
properties and land use in the vicinity. The adjustment has no impact on
health or safety, and will not affect physical land use characteristics in the
vicinity.
