MART, AND AUTOMATED TUNNEL CAR WASH AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF HWY 111 AND DUNE PALMS
ROAD.
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 99-657
APPLICANT: USA GASOLINE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 14`h day of December, 1999, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing at the
request of USA Gasoline to consider approval of architectural and landscaping plans
for a fueling station, mini mart, and automated tunnel car wash to be constructed at
the northwest corner of Hwy 111 and Dune Palms Road, more particularly described
as:
A.P.N.: 649-020-011 and -030
WHEREAS, the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee of the
City of La Quinta, California, did on the 8th day of December, 1999, hold a duly -
noticed public meeting to consider approval of architectural and landscape plans for
a fueling station, mini mart, and automated tunnel car wash to be constructed on the
northwest corner of Hwy 111 and Dune Palms Road, and did, by Minute Motion 99-
022, recommend approval of the request subject to conditions; 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
Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify approval of
said Site Development Permit:
1. Consistency with General Plan. The proposed fueling station, mini mart, and
automated tunnel car wash are consistent with the goals and policies of the
General Plan in that the use's design, low height, scale, and mass are
compatible with the Regional Commercial (CR) designation of the surrounding
properties, and the project is required to provide meandering sidewalks
according to the roadway classifications, and landscaping amenities consistent
with the adopted design guidelines for Hwy 111 and Specific Plan 99-036.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code. With the implementation of the recommended
conditions of approval, the proposed fueling station, mini mart, and automated
tunnel car wash project is consistent with the development standards of the
Regional Commercial (CR) Zoning District and Specific Plan 99-036 including,

Planning Commission Resolution 99-083

but not limited to building heights, setbacks, parking, landscape design,
exterior lighting, and signs.
3. Consistency with CEQA. The Community Development Department has
determined that the requests have been previously assessed in conjunction
with Environmental Assessment 99-383 for which a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact was certified by the City Council on
September 7, 1999, by Resolution 99-110. No changed circumstances or
conditions are proposed which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent \
environmental assessment pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166.
4. Architectural Design. As conditioned, the architectural design of the proposed
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 existing surrounding development with the
quality of design prevalent in the City. The project site is within Specific Plan
99-036, and as such is subject to the architectural guidelines for the La Quinta
Corporate Centre. Similarly, the project is subject to the architectural guidelines
of the Highway 111 Design Theme. The proposed architectural design is
consistent with these guidelines.
5. Landscape Design. As conditioned, the project landscaping, including but not
limited to the location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of plant
materials, has been designed so as to provide visual relief, complement
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, and provide an overall unifying
influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project. The proposed
landscape plan within the Highway 111 landscape setback is partially
consistent with the Highway 111 Design Theme and the requirements of
Specific Plan 99-036. Conditions of approval are recommended that will ensure
consistency with adopted design requirements.
6. Site Design. As conditioned, the site design of the proposed project, including
but not limited to project enteries, interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle
access, pedestrian amenities, screening of equipment and trash enclosures,
exterior lighting, and other site design elements such as scale, mass,
appearance, and amount of landscaping are compatible with surrounding
development and quality of design prevalent in the City. As proposed, the
finish pad elevation of the proposed mini mart and car wash structure will be

4 feet above the curb line elevation of Hwy 111, creating an elevated situation
