The request is to grant up to a 10% adjustment to decrease the front yard setback

loaded garage to be at the 15’ setback but the front yard setback for the livable
portion of the home remains at 20’. This adjustment allows for the livable portion of
the home to be at 18’.
The minor adjustment being requested is for a total of three (3) lots at the following
addresses: 80-453 Old Ranch Trail South, 80-411 Old Ranch Trail South and 57-875
Stone Creek Trail East (lots 32, 35 and 64 respectively).

and subject to the conditions of approval listed below:

Zoning Code in that the requested adjustment will be conditioned to comply

health, safety and general welfare, nor injurious or incompatible with other
properties and land use in the vicinity. The adjustment has no impact on
health or safety issues and will not affect physical land use characteristics in
the vicinity. The adjustment will be compatible with the architectural styles
of the existing single-family homes, Site Development Permit, and

The proposed construction shall comply with all other development standards
as required under the La Quinta Zoning Code.

regardless of the percentage of the development standard adjusted. This approval
