REPEAL OF SPECIFIC PLAN 87-009
VILLAGE AT LA QUINTA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 26th day of May, 1998, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider a
recommendation to repeal Specific Plan 87-009; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, the Planning Commission did in fact

WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of "The
Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as amended;

WHEREAS, 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, findings, and reasons to justify the repeal of said Specific Plan:
1. The recommended Specific Plan repeal will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, or general welfare of the community, either indirectly or directly, in that
no significant impacts have been identified.
2. The recommended Specific Plan repeal will not have the potential to degrade the
-- quality of the environment, as the repeal action does not involve physical

3. The recommended Specific Plan repeal does not have the potential to achieve
short-term environmental goals, to the disadvantage of long-term environmental
goals, as the proposal will not alter the types or intensity of the Village
Commercial uses already contemplated in the General Plan.
4. The recommended Specific Plan repeal will not have impacts which are
individually limited but cumulatively considerable when considering planned or
proposed development in the immediate vicinity, as repealing the Specific Plan
will not create any physical environmental impacts. The proposed Guidelines
and zoning are a consistent representation of the project type desired in The
Village area as long as the current General Plan land use designations are
applicable.
5. The recommended Specific Plan repeal will not have environmental effects that
will adversely affect the human population, either directly or indirectly, as the
proposed Guidelines and Zoning revisions encourage uses similar to those
already assessed under ultimate development of the La Quinta General Plan and
for The Village at La Quinta Specific Plan, and which were addressed in the EIR
previously certified for the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California as follows:
1. That the recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the City
Council for this Specific Plan repeal action.
2. That it does hereby repeal Specific Plan 87-009 for the reasons set forth in this
Resolution.
