The project is a Low Density Residential LDR) District per the provisions of the
General Plan Update allowing a density of 2 to 4 units per acre; therefore,
provisions of Land Use Element Chapter 2) are met. Specific Plan 84-004
Amendment #3) designates the site as residential and golf course which
permits single family dwellings and golf related facilities. Tentative Tract Map
29306 is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General
Plan and Specific Plan 84-004 provided conditions contained herein are met to
ensure consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plan and mitigation of
