LAPIS ENERGY/ALLSTATE SELF STORAGE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 10" day of March, 1998, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a recommendation to
the City Council on Site Development Permit 96-590, Amendment #1; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the e day
of February, 1997, approve Environmental Assessment 96-328 and Site Development Permit 96-590,
to allow various uses in conjunction with requesting approval for a 81,110 square foot commercial
project on a 10.29 acre (gross) site; and,
WHEREAS, said application has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to
Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as amended; Resolution 83-68
adopted by the La Quinta City Council) in that the Community Development Department has
determined that the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for the original Site
Development Permit approval (EA 96-328) is adequate in addressing project impacts, and that no
new environmental impacts can be anticipated from the proposed amendment; and,
WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of
all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the following facts,
findings, and reasons to justify a recommendation on said Site Development Permit Amendment:
The proposed Site Development Permit Amendment is consistent with the La Quinta General
Plan, in that the does not propose any changes in use or use thresholds that are inconsistent
with the original approval.

Code, in that the amendment does not propose changing the uses which have already been
approved and identified as permitted, subject to conditions on operation of those uses being
applied.
P:\sdp590=dl.wpd
Planning Commission Resolution 98 - 010
The requirements of CEQA have been complied with, in that an Initial Study was prepared
(EA 96-328), which concluded that no significant impacts from implementation of the Site
Development Permit and related applications will occur, with incorporation of mitigation as
identified in the Initial Study. The applicant agreed to implement the necessary mitigation
prior to site development activities in concurrence with project conditions relating to this,
and in some cases has completed certain mitigation requirements.
4. The architectural design aspects proposed by the amendment are compatible with the type
and quality of design prevalent in the City as well as with development on surrounding
properties, based on the architectural theme, materials, colors and treatments to be
incorporated into the overall project design.
5. The overall site design of the project as amended is compatible with the type and quality of
design prevalent in the City. On -site circulation layouts, access provisions and parking are
in substantial compliance with the previous approval and all applicable development and
design standards enforced by the City.
The revised drainage concept and landscaping approach for Parcel 3 is consistent with
current City requirements pertaining to retention of storm waters in arterial parkways and
provision of berms in landscaped parkways to provide screening of parking and building
areas.
