request of the La Quinta Arts Foundation to allow a visual and performing arts facility
and associated development.
WHEREAS, said Conditional Use Permit request has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of

Environmental Assessment 2000-394 has been recommended with mitigation
measures for certification; 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 for approval of
said Conditional Use Permit.
1. The Conditional Use Permit is deemed consistent with the City's General Plan
in that the proposed project furthers the City's General Plan goals for a full
service community. The use is consistent with the goals and policies and intent
of the General Plan Land Use Element (Chapter 2) provided conditions are met.
2. The approval of this Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the Zoning code
and Specific Plan in that construction of the Festival grounds, Foundation
Building, amphitheatre and associated facilities will conform to development
standards outlined in the Specific Plan namely parking, lighting, building height,
landscaping and setbacks.
3. An Environmental Assessment has been prepared in accordance with CEQA,
and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is to be prepared.
4. The proposed land uses will not create conditions materially detrimental to the
public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to, or incompatible with
other land uses in that an Environmental Assessment has been prepared with
recommended mitigation measures reducing potentially negative impacts to a
level of insignificance such as noise and lighting.
