A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING OF PUBLIC USE PERMIT 91-009 TO
ALLOW THE CREATION OF A CHURCH ON A 4.21
ACRE SITE
CASE N0. PUP 91-009 - DESERT BAPTIST CHURCH
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La
Quinta, did, on the 9th day of July, 1991, hold a duly noticed
Public Hearing to consider the request of Desert Baptist Church
to build a church complex generally located on the northeast
corner of Miles Avenue and Adams Street, more particularly
described as:
THE WESTERLY 330 FEET OF THE SOUTH HALF
OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF THE NORTHWEST
QUARTER OF SECTION 20, T5S R7E, S.B.B.M.
WHEREAS, said Public Use Permit has complied with
the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County of Riverside,
Resolution No. 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La
Quinta Ordinance No. 5), in that the Planning Director has
determined after initial study that the church complex will not
have a significant adverse impact on the environment; and,
WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts
have been identified and incorporated into the approval
conditions for Public Use Permit 91-009, thereby requiring that
monitoring of those mitigation measures be undertaken to assure
compliance with them; and,
WHEREAS, at said public hearing and upon hearing
and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested
persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find
that the following facts exist to justify this approval of said
Public Use Permit:
1. That Public Use Permit 91-009, as conditionally approved,
is generally consistent with the goals, policies and
intent of the La Quinta General Plan for land use
density, unit type, circulation requirements, R-1 Zoning
District development standards, and design requirements
of the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. That the subject site is fairly level with the east being
the lowest part of the site. The proposed circulation
design and building layout, as conditioned, are,
therefore, suitable for development.
3. That the proposed buildings, as conditionally approved,
will be developed with public sewers and water, and
therefore, are not likely to cause serious public health
problems.
4. That the site layout of Public Use Permit 91-009 will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large
for access through the project, since alternate easements
for access and for use have been provided that are
substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by
the public.
5. That the proposed Public Use Permit 91-009, as
conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the
landscape common areas.
6. That the proposed Public Use Permit 91-009, as
conditioned, provides storm water retention, and noise
mitigation. ~
7. That the development of Public Use Permit 91-009, as
conditioned, will not be detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the community.
8. That general impacts from the proposed church were
considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in
conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission of the City of La Quinta, California as
follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of
Environmental Assessment 91-196, relative to the
environmental concerns of this Public Use Permit;
3. That the Planning Commission does hereby approve the
subject Public Use Permit 91-009 for the reasons set
forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
conditions.
