SUBJECT: MINOR ADJUSTMENT 2026-0001
53840 AVENIDA CARRANZA
Dear Mr. Adams:
The Design and Development Department has reviewed your Minor Adjustment application
(MA2026-0001) pursuant to Section 9.210.040 of the City of La Quinta Zoning Code.
REQUEST:
To authorize a maximum 10% reduction to the minimum garage dimensions (20'x20') located at
53840 Avenida Carranza. The adjustment will allow a water heater to be located no closer than
18'-8" from garage's west wall and at least 18' from the garage's south wall, which is a 10%
deviation in each dimension. This minor adjustment is requested to accommodate the relocation
of the mechanical equipment as shown on the attached floor plan exhibit.
DECISION:
Approval is granted for the requested adjustment based on the following findings and subject to
the conditions of approval listed below:
Minor Adjustment 2026-0001 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 as the project consists of the relocation of water heater into
the required garage space of a residence within a neighborhood of single-family homes.
2. Minor Adjustment 2026-0001 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. The processing and approval of Minor Adjustment 2026-0001 is in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The requested adjustment qualifies for a
Class 3 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(a) — "Existing
Facilities" — as it involves the adjustment of garage dimensions for the relocation of
mechanical equipment within a garage.

4. Approval of Minor Adjustment 2026-0001 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 adjustment has no impact on health or safety issues and will not affect
physical land use characteristics in the vicinity. The minor adjustment will not impact the
exterior appearance of the residence or result in a loss in the garage's ability to function
as a residential garage.
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
adjustment 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 one Minor Adjustment
as previously described, and two Minor Adjustments remain. All other development standards
of the La Quinta Zoning Code are applicable and shall be adhered to in preparing plans for
building plan check.
Thank you for your attention to these items, and please feel free to contact me directly at (760)
