permitted under the applicable General Plan and Zoning Code provisions. In
addition, entire landscape medians will be constructed on both Highway 111 and
Adams Street.

and general welfare since adequate provision has been made in previous City
approvals to provide for necessary and desirable improvements and since these
approvals are incorporated herein.

development of the subject or surrounding property nor the preservation of area -
wide property values, but rather will enhance them by encouraging planned, phased
growth.
6. Approval of the Development Agreement will provide a positive fiscal impact on the
City by providing new revenue to the general fund for services.

California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and the City of La Quinta
