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

recommendation on Change of Zone 98-085; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, the Planning Commission did in fact

1. The recommended Change of Zone is consistent with the goals, objectives and

2. The recommended Change of Zone will not be detrimental to the health, safety,
or general welfare of the community, either indirectly or directly, in that no
significant impacts have been identified.
3. The recommended VC, RL and Village Overlay District zoning is compatible with
zoning on adjacent properties, as the proposed zoning will not alter the types
or intensity of the commercial and residential uses already contemplated under
the General Plan. The surrounding properties are zoned RC, RMH, RM, RL AND
PR. The revised VC zoning allows uses which can be located in these districts,
and provides for setback and design standards which will help integrate uses in
adjoining areas.
4. The recommended VC, RL and Village Overlay District zoning is suitable and
appropriate for the subject area, as adoption of the proposed zoning will permit
uses which allow project types desired in The Village area and similar to those
already contemplated under ultimate development of the La Quinta General Plan,
and which were addressed in the EIR previously certified for the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City
of La Quinta, California does ordain as follows:
Section 1. That the Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. That Change of Zone 98-085 is hereby adopted for the reasons set
forth in this Ordinance, as shown for the area delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30)
days after its adoption.
POSTING. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance, and shall cause the same to be posted in at least three public places
designated by resolution of the City Council and the same shall be in full force and
