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 approval
of said General Plan Amendment:
1. The proposed General Plan Amendment is internally consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the General Plan in that the General Plan Amendment
results in promoting commercial development in a controlled and logical manner.
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
General Plan designations will result in a project that is required to provide
adequate setbacks, be well designed and landscaped, and comply with all
applicable City, County, State and Federal requirements.
3. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with adjacent properties in that the
resulting projects will be required to minimize the impacts to the surrounding
single-family residences.
4. The General Plan Amendment is suitable and appropriate for the property in that
it will allow expansion of an approved complex for medical and tourist
commercial uses.
5. Approval of the General Plan Amendment is warranted because the uses are an
expansion of uses approved on adjacent properties within Centre Pointe.
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
Council in this case;
