Segura, located within Andalusia Country Club. Residential patio covers shall not exceed twelve
(12) feet in height, pursuant to Section 9.60.040 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. The proposed
patio cover measures twelve (12) feet seven (7) inches in height, measured from finish grade to
the top of the structure. The adjustment is requested to accommodate the architectural design
of the residence, as illustrated in the attached exhibits, and is consistent with the intent and
provisions of Section 9.60.040 governing patio covers.

proposal does not alter the approved land use for the property or affect land use on
surrounding similar properties.
2. Minor Adjustment 2025-0016 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.

physical land use characteristics in the vicinity. The adjustment will be compatible with
the architectural style of the primary residence and other existing single-family homes in

comply with all other development standards pursuant to the La Quinta Municipal Code
Section 9.60.040 pertaining to patio covers.
