TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 2021-0004, AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2021-0002
APPLICANT: ROYAL INVESTORS GROUP
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did, on
June 13, 2023, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by Royal
Investors Group for approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative
Tract Map, and Conditional Use Permit for an 80-unit planned unit development located
south of Avenue 58 between Madison Street and Monroe Street, more particularly
described as:
APN 764-180-002 and 764-180-003

General Plan Amendment 2021-0001
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 to justify approval of said General
Plan Amendment, as conditioned [Exhibits A and B]:
1. Internal General Plan Consistency. The amendment is internally consistent with
those goals, objectives and policies of the general plan which are not being
amended. The General Plan Amendment would lead to a Medium High Density
land use designation which supports up to 16 units to the acre.
2. Public Welfare. Approval of the amendment will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare. As part of the project,
a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be adopted to mitigate any potential
impacts.

3. General Plan Compatibility. In the case of amendments to the general plan policy
diagram, the new designation is compatible with the designations on adjacent
properties. The increase in density is being used to create a residential project that
will connect with surrounding residential properties to provide housing
opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the City's existing and projected
population.
4. Property Suitability. In the case of amendments to the general plan policy diagram,
the new designation is suitable and appropriate for the subject property, insofar as
it will allow the development of single-family homes on a site that is generally flat
and rectangular.
5. Change in Circumstances. In the case of amendments to the general plan policy
diagram, approval of the amendment is warranted because the situation and the
general conditions of the property have substantially changed since the existing
designation was imposed. Higher density is required to achieve a single-family
home project that meets the market demand. Market conditions have led to
needing more units to match increases in costs in building units meanwhile
meeting increase in demand for single family residential units for the public.
Zone Change 2021-0001
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 to justify approval of said Zone
Change, as conditioned [Exhibit C and D]:
1. The zone map change is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
General Plan, as described above and contained in Exhibit C. The Zone Change
would lead to a High -Density Residential zoning designation, consistent with the
Medium and High Density Residential General Plan land use designation, which
supports 8-12 units per acre residential density and is designed to accommodate
a broad range of residential land uses, including single family development.
2. Approval of the zone map change will not create conditions materially detrimental
to the public health, safety, and general welfare. As part of the project, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration would be adopted to mitigate any potential impacts.
3. The new zoning is compatible with the zoning on adjacent properties as it continues
residentially zoned properties adjacent to the property and surrounding it.

4. The new zoning is suitable and appropriate for the subject property because it is
currently zoned for residential and the change is to increase density, consistent
with the General Plan Amendment designation.
5. Change in Circumstances. Approval of the zone change is warranted because the
situation and the general conditions of the property have substantially changed
since the existing zoning was imposed. Higher density is required to achieve a
single-family home project that meets the market demand. Market conditions have
led to needing more units to match increases in costs in building units meanwhile
meeting increase in demand for single family residential units for the public. The
zone change is warranted to meet the density allowed under the General Plan land
use map.
Tentative Tract Map 2021-0004
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the Planning
Commission did make the following mandatory findings to justify approval of said
Tentative Tract Map, as conditioned [Exhibit E]:
1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the land use policies and
programs of the General Plan, as it allows for development of a Medium High
Density Residential project in the Medium/High Density land use designation,
which supports up to 16 units per acre residential density and is designed to
accommodate a broad range of residential land uses, including single family
projects.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the La
Quinta General Plan, and Planned Unit Development standards with the
implementation of recommended conditions of approval to ensure consistency for
the homes proposed on the lots created herein.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat. The Design and Development Department prepared Environmental
Assessment (EA) 2021-0006, in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This approval includes adopting a Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems, insofar as the project will be required to comply

with all laws, standards and requirements associated with sanitary sewer
collection, water quality and other public health issues.
5. The site of the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the type of
development and proposed density of development. The Planned Unit
Development allows for creative development with smaller lot subdivision while still
providing a quality residential development.
6. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of Title 13 of
the City's Subdivision Regulations Code and the Planned Unit Development,
including, but not limited to, minimum lot area requirements, any other applicable
provisions of Title 9 of the City's Zoning Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.
7. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision.
Conditional Use Permit 2021-0002
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 to justify approval of said
Conditional Use Permit, as conditioned [Exhibit F]:
1. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of Medium/High Density Residential. The City's General Plan
Medium/High Density Residential designation is designed to accommodate a
broad range of residential land uses, including single family residential projects.
The City's General Plan policies relating to Medium/High Density Residential
encourage a broad range of residential uses within the City, and the proposed use
maintains those policies. The proposed project is consistent with the following
Goals, Programs, and Policies:
• Goal LU-2 as the project consists of high -quality design that complements
and enhances the City. The project design uses high -quality Spanish,
Mediterranean, and Santa Barbra styles, and utilizes varying roof lines and
architectural accent, along with a complementary color palette.
• Goal LU-5 as the project provides a broad range of housing types and
choices for all residents of the City. The project provides for a small lot single
family home residential project, which creates a different housing type and
choice for residents within the City.

• Policy LU-5.2 in considering changes in market demand in residential
product type to meet the needs of current and future residents. The project
is changing from a low -density residential project to a planned unit
development project to respond to market demand in residential product
type to provide residents with smaller lot single family subdivisions.
• Goal SC-1 in that it provides a community that provides the best possible
quality of life for all its residents by providing alternative housing types within
La Quinta meanwhile providing a project that incorporates open space and
common area with a pool for its residents, bocce ball court, tot lot, and
passive open space.
• Goal H-1 in providing housing opportunities that meet the diverse needs of
the City's existing and projected population. The single-family home project
of this type provides a diverse type of residential product.
• Policy H-1.3 to direct new housing development to viable areas where
essential public facilities can be provided and employment opportunities,
educational facilities, and commercial support are available. The housing
development is located in viable area where essential public facilities can
be provided and employment opportunities, educational facilities, and
commercial support are all available.
2. The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the purpose and
intent of the Medium High Density Residential zone as well as the development
standards of the City's Zoning Code and in terms of architectural style and
landscaping. The project satisfies the zone's intent to provide for the development
of high -density neighborhoods with one and two-story single-family dwellings. The
project is generally consistent with the residential development standards and
permitted use table, except deviations as established within the Planned Unit
Development.
3. The Design and Development Department has prepared Environmental
Assessment 2021-0006 for this project, in compliance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Department has determined
that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect because mitigation measures
have been incorporated.
