Dear Santiago Lopez Ocampo:
The Design and Development Department has reviewed your Minor Adjustment application (MA
2024-0006), pursuant to Section 9.210.040 of the City of La Quinta Zoning Code.
REQUEST:
To grant a 10% adjustment to decrease the rear yard setback and the front yard setback for a
new single family residence proposed to be constructed at 51015 Avenida Velasco. The rear
yard setback will be decreased from ten feet (10 ) to a nine feet (9 ). The front yard setback will
be decreased from twenty feet (20 ) to eighteen feet (18 ). This adjustment is being utilized to
accommodate the architectural design per the attached site plan exhibit. The parcel proposed
for construction for the residence is located near a cul-de-sac and is encumbered by Coachella
Valley Water District (CVWD) and Imperial Irrigation District (IID) easements which limit the
buildable areas for a residence on the lot.
DECISION:
Approval is granted for the requested adjustment based on the following findings and subject to
the conditions of approval listed below:
1. Minor Adjustment 2024-0006 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. Minor Adjustment 2024-0006 is consistent with the intent of the La Quinta Zoning Code
in that the requested adjustment will be conditioned to comply with all other development
standards as required under said Zoning Code.
3. Processing and approval of Minor Adjustment 2024-0006 is in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act. The adjustment requested falls under CEQA
- Class 5 Categorical
Exemption.
4. Approval of Minor Adjustment 2024-0006 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 adjustments have no impact on health or safety issues and will not affect
physical land use characteristics in the vicinity. The adjustments will be compatible with
the architectural styles of the neighboring existing single-family homes.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. A building permit shall be obtained prior to construction. The proposed construction shall
comply with all other development standards as required by the La Quinta Zoning Code.
Please be advised that the City only approves three Minor Adjustments per lot, regardless of the
percentage of the development standard adjusted. This approval relates only to the minor
adjustments referenced herein and does not imply any entitlement or approval of a building
permit for any structures shown on the plans on file. This approval consists of two Minor
Adjustment as previously described, and one Minor Adjustment remains. All other development
standards of the La Quinta Zoning Code are applicable and shall be adhered to in preparing
plans for building plan check.
