FORREST HAAG FOR KSL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta did on the 19TM day
of September, 2000, hold duly a noticed public hearing to consider the request of
FORREST HAAG, ALSA for KSL Development Corporation for approval of Amendment
#1 to Specific Plan 90-017 to delete the requirement for a sidewalk on Madison Street
north of Avenue 58, more particularly described as:

(CEQA) of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-68), in that the La Quinta Community
Development Department has determined that this project is exempt per Section

017) was certified on December 3, 1991, by the City Council. No changed
circumstances or conditions exist which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent
environmental impact report or environmental review pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21166; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 22ND day of August, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
the request and adopted Planning Commission Resolution 2000-056 recommending
approval; 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 approval of the Specific
Plan Amendment:
1. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies
of the La Quinta General Plan in that the residential and related recreational uses
proposed are consistent with use of the site as stipulated in the General Plan.

2. The Specific Plan Amendment will not create conditions materially detrimental
to the public health, safety, and general welfare in that the multi-purpose trail
will provide access in place of the sidewalk.
3. The Specific Plan Amendment will provide land use compatibility with zoning on
adjacent properties in that the resulting residential and recreational uses are
compatible with the adjacent zoning.
4. The Specific Plan Amendment is suitable and appropriate for the property in that
the amendment strives to implement the golf and residential intent of the zoning
and General Plan land use designation.
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
City Council in this case.
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of the La Quinta Community
Development Department that the project needs no further environmental
assessment.

reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached conditions, labeled
Exhibit "A".
