A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SITE
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT 14 SINGLE-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS LOCATED ON THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 52 AND MADISON
STREET AND FIND THAT THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 2003-495
CASE NUMBERS:
SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2024-0001
APPLICANT: DESERT LUXURY PROPERTIES, LLC
PROJECT: BRAVO ESTATES
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on January
21, 2025, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by Desert Luxury
Properties, LLC, for approval of Site Development Permit 2024-0001 and Development
Agreement 2024-0001, Bravo Estates project, a 14 unit single-family residential
development on 8.4 acres located on the northwest corner of Avenue 52 and Madison
Street, more particularly described as:
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs):
777-470-001 through -014
WHEREAS, the Design and Development Department published a public hearing
notice in The Desert Sun newspaper on January 10, 2025, as prescribed by the Municipal
Code. Public hearing notices were also mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of
the site and emailed or mailed to all interested parties who have requested notification
relating to the project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did, on
November 12, 2024, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider this request and did
adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2024-017 recommending approval of the Site
Development Permit; and
WHEREAS, the Design and Development Department determined that the project
is consistent with the Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted on August 17, 2004
(Environmental Assessment 2003-495), and no further environmental review is required
under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq. )
and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, § 15000 et seq.), specifically:
Section 15162 in the CEQA Guidelines provides in pertinent part that, when an
environmental impact report (EIR) has been certified or a negative declaration

(or mitigated negative declaration (MND)) has been adopted for a project, "no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project" unless there is a
determination, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole
record, of one or more of: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project
which will require major revisions of the previous MND due to involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with
respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will
require major revisions of the previous MND due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial
importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the
exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous MND was adopted;
Here, based on the information presented during the public hearing including
the Staff Report and all attachments and references therein, incorporated into
this Resolution by this reference, none of the listed conditions in Section 15162
of the CEQA Guidelines are met, and therefore no subsequent CEQA
document is needed, regardless of the age of the MND. This position is
consistent with CEQA case law. (See, Committee for Re -Evaluation of T-Line
Loop v. San Francisco Municipal Transp. Agency (2016) 6 Cal.App.5th 1237
[agency's partial reliance on a 1998 EIR for a 2014 project upheld].)
Furthermore, no new mitigated negative declaration was prepared because,
based on substantial evidence, the existing MND was determined to be
sufficient. Thus, the noticing provisions in Section 15072(b) were not triggered.
(See, CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15070-15075 [a public agency must prepare a
proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration when specified
conditions are met, and a NOI is required as part of the process to circulate
and receive comment from the public and interested parties on a proposed
MND].); 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 City Council did
make the following mandatory findings contained in Section 9.210.010 of the Municipal
Code to justify approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of Very Low Density Residential. The project consists of high -
quality design that complements and enhances the City.
2. The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the development
standards of the City's Zoning Code in terms of architectural style and

landscaping. The project design utilizes varying roof lines and wall depths,
along with a complementary color palette.
3. The Design and Development Department has determined that this project has
been previously studied under, and is consistent with, Environmental
Assessment 2003-495, and no further environmental review is required.
4. The architecture and layout of the project are compatible with, and not
detrimental to, the existing surrounding residential land uses and are consistent
with the development standards in the Municipal Code.
5. The site design of the project is compatible with surrounding development and
with the quality of design prevalent in the city.
6. 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 landscape palette is
consistent with the City's drought -tolerant landscaping requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the Findings of the City
Council in this case.
