A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING PUBLIC
USE PERMIT 91-008 TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF A
CHURCH ON A 1.4 ACRE SITE
CASE NO. PUP 91-008 - LA QUINTA CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quints, California,
did on the 26th day of November continued from the 22nd day of October, and the
12th day November, 1991, hold duly noticed Public Hearings to consider the request
of La Quints Christian Fellowship Church to expand an existing church complex
generally located at 53-800 Calle Paloma, more particularly described as:
LOTS 65 & 66, DESERT CLUB TRACT UNIT #5, MAP BOOK
21/61-62
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 findings to justify denial of said
Public Use Permit:
1. The expansion of the Church and Church School activities would be
inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood particularly since the site
in question is surrounded by residential lots on all four sides.
The expansion of the Church will result in additional traffic and noise
incompatible with a residential neighborhood.
There are alternative sites on which the Church could locate.
The expansion of the Church in this residential neighborhood would diminish
the property values of the surrounding area.
The activities of the expanded Church and School would be inhibited by the
fact that they are located in a residential neighborhood.
This denial for Church expansion would not impose an excessive burden on
the Church since the existing Church and School can still continue to operate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quints, California as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Commission in this case.
That the Planning Commission does hereby deny the subject Public Use Permit
91-008 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution.
