A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR A FUELING STATION,
CONVENIENCE MARKET, AND AUTOMATED TUNNEL CAR
WASH AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111
AND DUNE PALMS ROAD.
CASE NO: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2001-695
APPLICANT: USA PETROLEUM CORPORATION
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 10" day of April, 2001, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing at the request
of USA Gasoline to consider approval of architectural and landscaping plans for a
fueling station, convenience market, and automated tunnel car wash to be located at
the northwest corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road, more particularly
described as:
PARCEL 4 OF LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 99-31 6
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon consideration of all testimony
and arguments by all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning
Commission did make the following findings to justify the approval of said Site
Development Permit:
1. Consistency
with General Plan. The proposed fueling station, convenience
market, 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 sidewalks
and
landscaping
amenities consistent with
the adopted design guidelines
for
Highway 111
and Specific Plan 99-036.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code. With the implementation of the recommended
conditions of approval, the proposed project is consistent with the
development standards of the Regional Commercial (CR) Zoning District and
Specific Plan 99-036 including, 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 project has 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 and conditioned 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 convenience mart and car wash structure
will be 4 feet above the curb line elevation of Highway 111. Conditions of
approval are included to require the applicant to reduce the pad elevation as
much as possible.
