1. Consistency with the General Plan
The proposed Site Development Permit is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan, as it proposes a multi -unit residential community, which is
General Plan -designated for Medium/High Density Residential development.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code
The proposed structures, as conditioned and with approval of Conditional
Use Permit 2013-151 for Density Bonus concessions, 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 multi -unit
residential community which is General Plan -designated for HDR (High
Density Residential) development. The site development permit has been
conditioned to ensure compliance with the zoning standards of the HDR
district, and other supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the La
Quinta Municipal Code.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The Community Development Department has determined that the time
extension request has been previously assessed in conjunction with
Environmental Assessment 2013-627 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 architectural design aspects of the proposed community provide
interest through use of varied roof elements, enhanced building and fagade
treatments, and other design details that will be compatible with, and not
detrimental to, surrounding development, and with the overall design
quality prevalent in the City.
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 apartment units and common
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.
