The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it will not be developed in any manner inconsistent with the General Plan land use designation of Community Commercial and other current City standards. 2. The proposed Specific Plan will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare, as the site design aspects of said Specific Plan will be compatible with and not detrimental to surrounding development in the Lake La Quinta tract and surrounding area, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the City. Resolution No. 2002-93 Specific Plan 2002-056 Adopted: June 18, 2002 Page 2 3. The proposed Specific Plan is compatible with the zoning on adjacent properties, as the project contemplates land uses that are substantially equivalent to those permitted under existing zoning for permitted uses, and which were previously addressed in the EIR certified for the General Plan. Specifically, development of existing Regional Commercial land is considered to implement zoning consistency with the General Plan Land Use designation of Community Commercial. 4. The proposed Specific Plan is suitable and appropriate for the subject property, as the project contemplates land uses that are substantially similar to those already assessed under ultimate development of the La Quinta General Plan, and which were previously addressed in the EIR certified for the General Plan. Specifically, development of the site as Community Commercial land use is considered to be suitable and appropriate due to the General Plan designations for existing and approved residential and commercial development/land use in the surrounding areas.

That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the City Council in this case; 2.
