and
WHEREAS, the revised Specific Plan No. 121-E will allow an
additional 279 condominiums and 146 hotel units, the following
issues were identified and resolved:
A. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The units proposed in conjunction with the revised Specific
Plan, when added to the original Specific Plan, will not exceed
the overall density allowed by the Riverside County General Plan.
B. TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION
As proposed, the revised Specific Plan would increase trip
generation by about 30% over the levels anticipated with the
original Specific Plan. This additional impact was mitigated
through the reguirement for additional road improvements and
contributions to traffic signals at three intersections along
Eisenhower Drive.
C. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
As a vacation and retirement home development, many of the
impacts on public services and facilities generated from the
revised Specific Plan are minimized. These include impacts
and demands on schools, air quality, water, sewer, police
protection and fire protection.
D. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Expanding on the existing resort hotel complex, the pro-
posed project closely compliments the existing development
in the immediate area. Significant open space areas are
provided; including the maintenance of the mountainous areas
and in many areas are adjacent open space acreage golf course)
at the foot of the mountains. The open space, natural mountain
backdrop, and recreational facilities further enhance the
existing resort atmosphere of the La Quinta Hotel and La Quinta
Country Club area.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED AND ORDERED by
the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, in regular
session assembled on October 5, 1982, that it makes the following
findings and conclusions.
1. The original Specific Plan 121-E was approved and the
associated Final Environmental Impact Report No. 41 was

result in a development similar in nature and scale to
the original Specific Plan No. 121-E.
2. A large majority of the residents would utilize their
dwellings as a second or retirement home, which would
result in minimal impacts on the schools and the lack
of a heavy concentration of peak" hour traffic to and
from work.
3. Revised Specific Plan No. 121-E represents an expansion
of existing facilities and developments associated with
the existing La Quinta Hotel.
4. Environmental impacts and urban service demands of this
project would be minimized by the nature of the development
second and retirement homes) These impacts can be
mitigated and services provided by incorporating the
measures outlined by the Riverside County Planning staff

Environmental Impact Report No. 41.
