Finding Number 1 Consistency with General Plan/Zoning Code
I. The property is designated Low Density Residential LDR). The Land Use
Element of the General Plan allows single family residential land uses in this
designation. The project is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the
La Quinta General Plan Land Use Element Chapter 2) because single family low
density residential lots are proposed within the density limits of the designation.
The project? as conditioned, is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the General Plan Circulation Element.
2. The RL District Low Density Residential) permits single family residences on
lots of at least 7,200 square feet. Proposed lots exceed the minimum size
allowed pursuant to Section 9.30.030 of the Zoning Ordinance. Detached
single storey houses will be built as allowed. Conditions are recommended to
insure compliance with City Code requirements.
Finding Number 2 Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
1. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been prepared by
the Community Development Department as required by the California
Environmental Quality Act statutes. The assessment concludes that the project
will not significantly affect the environment, provided Mitigation Monitoring is
completed EA 98-372). In this case, project mitigation includes reduction of
noise levels through construction mitigation, and site supervision during
excavation to prevent historical subsurface features from being destroyed. All
public services occur at or adjacent to the property, making it a logical extension
of development in the City.
Finding Number 3 Site and Landscape Design
1. The design of the tract complies with the requirements and standards of the
General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. The parkway design
conforms with the General Plan's standards for secondary image corridors.
2. The proposed common landscaping will be privately maintained. The landscape
design enhances the aesthetic and visual quality of the area.
