FOOT RETAIL SHOPPIING CENTER ON 10.79 ACRES
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2007-898
REGENCY MARINITA LA QUINTA, LLC
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 6th day of May, 2008, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing, to consider the
request of Regency Marinita La Quinta, LLC, to approve the development plans for
a 90,441 square foot retail shopping center in the Neighborhood Commercial
zoning district, for property located on the southwest corner of Jefferson Street
and Fred Waring Drive, more particularly described as:
APN 604-521-005
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California did, on the 81" day of April, 2008, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing and
did recommend approval by adoption of Resolution 2008-012, subject to
Conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department published a public hearing notice
in the Desert Sun newspaper on April 24, 2008, for the City Council meeting as
prescribed by the Municipal Code with public hearing notices mailed to all property
owners within 500 feet of the site; and
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 find the following facts and reasons to justify approval of said
Site Development Permit:
1. The General Plan, Zoning Map, and Specific Plan designate the project area
as Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed commercial project is
consistent with this land use designation and will provide facilities to help
serve the needs of the City.
2. The proposed building is designed to comply with the Zoning Code and
Specific Plan requirements, including, but not limited to, height limits,
design, parking, setbacks, lighting, landscaping and land use.

3. The La Quinta Planning Department has determined that the request has
been previously assessed in conjunction with Environmental Assessment
2002-462 prepared for Specific Plan 2002-062 and Site Development Permit
2002-754 which were certified by the City Council on June 20, 2004. No
changed circumstances or conditions are proposed, or new information has
been submitted which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent
environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166.
4. The Spanish Mediterranean architectural design of the project, including, but
not limited to the architectural style, scale, building mass, materials, colors,
architectural details, roof style, and other architectural elements are
compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial development and
with the quality of commercial design prevalent in the City and in compliance
with the architectural standards in the applicable Specific Plan in that the
neighboring homes to the north, south and west and the commercial
shopping center to the east in Indio all utilize a similar architectural style,
materials and colors.
5. The site design of the project, including, but not limited to project entries,
interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian amenities,
screening of equipment and trash enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site
design elements are compatible with future and existing surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the City. The
project complies with Zoning Code requirements and are similar to
comparable projects on the Highway 1 1 1, Washington Street, and Jefferson
Street commercial corridors.
6. Project landscaping, including, but not limited to the location, type, size,
color, texture, and coverage of plant materials, conforms to those designated
in the Specific Plan and has been designed so as to provide relief,
compliment buildings, visually emphasize prominent design elements and
vistas, screen undesirable views, provide a harmonious transition between
adjacent land uses and between development and open space, provide an
overall unifying influence, enhance the visual continuity of the project, and
compliment the surrounding project area, ensuring lower maintenance and
water use. Planting design, materials and sizes are similar to that used in
other newer commercial projects. Planting along the west boundary and
especially to the south where homes are immediately adjacent are provided
with shrubs and large trees to provide screening between the project and
adjacent uses.
