A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE LAND USE AND CIRCULATION ELEMENTS OF
THE LA QUINTA GENERAL PLAN FOR GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 84-002.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended approval of
General Plan Amendment No. 84-002 pursuant to Section 65350 et seq.
of the California Planning and zoning Law and has transmitted the
same to this City Council in compliance with Section 65354 of said
Law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has held at least one public hearing
on General Plan Amendment No. 84-002, as required by Section 65355 of
the California Planning and zoning Law; and
WHEREAS, the amendment to the Land Use Element from Very Low
Density Residential 3 or less units per acre) to Low Density
Residential maximum 3.2 units per acre) is compatible with planned
future development within the vicinity; and
WHEREAS, the amendment to the Circulation Element deleting
Jefferson Street between 54th and 58th Avenues will increase traffic
on Madison Street south of 50th Avenue and will result in longer trip
distances for those travelling to and from Lake Cahuilla, the Riverside
County gravel pit, and other property located south of the Site and
west of Madison Street; and
WHEREAS, the closure of Jefferson Street can be reasonably
mitigated since conditions of approval associated with the specific
plan will compensate for impacts to park visitors, since the County
gravel pit is an interim use and will close in the future irrespective
of the closure of Jefferson Street, and since usage at Lake Cahuilla
will not be significantly affected; and
WHEREAS, based on information contained in the Environmental
Impact Report prepared for the project, the overriding finding is
made that the irrevocable conversion of agricultural land to urban
uses is warranted due to the site's location adjacent to and within
the incorporated City limits, the area land ownership pattern, the
disproportionate land costs of the site and surrounding properties
compared to other agricultural land within the Coachella valley, the
planned construction of a community sewage treatment facility south
of the site and the planned extension of community sewers into the
area; and
WHEREAS, approval of General Plan Amendment No. 84-002 is
consistent with City goals and policies;
