^#: WHEREAS, the City Council continued the July 5, 1989
hearing to September 6, 1989, to again consider the
recommendation of the Planning Commission; and,
WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts
have been identified and incorporated into the approval
conditions for General Plan Amendment No. 88-021, thereby
requiring that monitoring of those mitigation measures be
undertaken to assure compliance with them; 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
find the following facts and reasons to justify the approval of
said General Plan Amendment:
1. Traffic impacts caused by the implementation of GPA
88-021 can be mitigated to an acceptable degree;
2. Location of a general commercial land use as proposed by
this project would not be viable from a near-term land
use inventory perspective. However, development of
competitive properties and increased demand after the
year 2000 will create commercial demand to support
commercial development on this site;
3. The request for commercial land use and a multi-family
residential area at a density of +15 units per acre is
consistent with the goals and policies of the La Quinta
General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, in the review of this General Plan Land
Use Map and Text Amendment, the City Council has considered the
effect of the contemplated action on the housing needs of the
region for purposes of balancing the needs against the public
service needs of the residents of the City of La Quinta and its
environs, with available fiscal and environmental resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of
Environmental Assessment No. 88-099, that
mitigation measures will reduce impacts to an
insignificant level.
3. That the City Council does hereby grant approval of
General Plan Amendment No. 88-021, consisting of a
Land Use Map Amendment as described in Exhibit A",
attached hereto.
