Planning Commission concerning General Plan Amendment No. 86-016;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing and upon hearing and considering
all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said City Council did find the following facts to exist to
justify the denial of said General Plan Land Use Map:

from Low and Medium Density to High Density Residential is
inconsistent with the goals and policies of the La Quinta
General Plan.
2. The amount of the current vacant High Density Residential 8
to 16 units per acre) land use designated property and
Mixed-Use Commercial property does adequately provide
development opportunities for higher density residential
projects within the City.
3. Compatibility between the High Density Residential uses on
surrounding properties cannot be ensured at this time.
4. There are no physical constraints on the site which would
prevent development at the current designation.
