WHEREAS, said Site Development Permit has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of

Department has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EA 90-159 for SP

Assessment addendum to the previously approved environmental impact report was
completed for Amendment #1 to the specific plan which was approved by the City
Council on December 1, 1998. No changed circumstances or conditions exist which
would trigger the preparation of a subsequent environmental impact report or
environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code 21 166; and,
WHEREAS, the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee, on
August 4, 1999, at a regular meeting, recommended approval of the original
architectural and landscaping plans, 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 amendment:
1. The maintenance facility is consistent with the General Plan in that it is a

2. The maintenance building is designed to comply with City Zoning Code
requirements and is in compliance with proposed Specific Plan 90-015,
Amendment #3.
3. The architectural design of the buildings, including but not limited to the
architectural style, scale, building mass, materials, colors, architectural details,
roof style, and other architectural elements are compatible with the surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the city in that the
proposed construction is acceptable with adequate screening.
4. The site design of the buildings, including but not limited to project entries,
interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian amenities,
screening of equipment and trash enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site
design elements are compatible with surrounding development and with the
quality of typical maintenance facilities in the city in that design elements have
been coordinated to ensure compatibility between proposed buildings and
pedestrian elements.
5. 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
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,
complement surrounding the project area, ensuring lower maintenance and
water use, provided the perimeter landscaping adjacent to Airport Boulevard in
front of the maintenance building is planted heavily to screen its visibility to the
street.
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 constitute the findings of the Planning
