WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,

Resolution 2002-072, recommending approval of General Plan Amendment 2002-087,
at the request of LIDO EQUITY PARTNERS for approval of a change in Land Use
Designation from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Low Density Residential (LDR) for
10 acres of a 43.6+ acre site for property located on the northeast corner of
Washington Street and Miles Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 16th day of July, 2002, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the General
Plan Amendment and did consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental
impact for 10 acres of a 43.6+ acre site for property located on the northeast corner

A PORTION OF APN 604-032-009
WHEREAS, said General Plan Amendment application has complied with
the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-68), in that the La Quinta Community
Development Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2002-455, and
as a result a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact has been
certified; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
City Council did make the following mandatory findings of approval to justify approving
said General Plan Amendment:
1. The proposed General Plan Amendment is internally consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the General Plan not being amended in that the
General Plan Amendment results in promoting a residential character.
2. Approval of the General Plan Amendment will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare in that the resulting
project provides substantial setbacks, is well designed and landscaped, and will
comply with all applicable City, County, State and Federal requirements.

3. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with adjacent properties in that the
resulting Medium Density Residential project is similar in nature with
surrounding single family residences.
4. The General Plan Amendment is suitable and appropriate for the property in that
it will allow development of single family residences in conjunction with those
proposed on adjacent land.
5. Approval of the General Plan Amendment is warranted because there is
adequate commercially designated properties within one-half mile to the south.
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 constitute the findings of the City
