WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 10" day of July, 2001, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing, at the request of World
Gym Palm Desert, LLC., to consider an amendment to a Site Development Permit for a
fitness center, more particularly described as:
LOT 8 OF PARCEL MAP 29351
APN: 649-020-061
WHEREAS, Site Development Permit 2000-682 was approved by the
Architectural and Landscape Review Committee on August 2, 2000 and the Planning
Commission on August 22, 2000; and
WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission
did make the following findings, per Section 9.210.010 of the Zoning Ordinance, to justify
the approval of said Site Development Permit amendment:
Architectural Design As conditioned, deleting the originally approved awnings will
not unduly effect the design of the building under construction. The architectural
design of the project without the awnings is compatible with surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the city.
Landscape Desig[L As designed and conditioned, the proposed landscape changes
will provide the site with adequate landscaping. Because of the types of plants
being used, reducing the size of those plants will not hinder the development of a
mature landscape area. The project landscaping has been designed so as to
provide visual relief and complement the building.
