APPLICANT: ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California, did, on the 22nd day of April, 2003 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to
consider a request by St. Francis of Assisi, for approval of Site Development Permit

located ±600 feet south of the southwest corner of Washington Street and
Highland Palms Drive, more particularly described as follows:
APNs: 643-090-026,
WHEREAS, said Site Development Permit application has complied
with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-68), in that the Community
Development Department has conducted an Initial Study (Environmental
Assessment 2002-463), and determined that the proposed Site Development
Permit 2002-755 will not have a significant impact on the environment and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been certified;
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings pursuant to
Section 9.210.010 of the Zoning Code to justify recommending to the City Council
of the City of La Quinta, approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. Consistency with the General Plan: The proposed project is consistent with
the goals and policies of the General Plan in that the design and scale of the
project is compatible with the Low Density Residential Land Use designation.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code: The proposed project is consistent with
the development standards of the Low Density Residential Zoning District,

APRIL 22, 2003
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The
proposed project is consistent with the requirements of CEQA, in that
Environmental Assessment 2002-463 was prepared for this project with
certification of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact.
4. Surrounding Uses: Approval of the Site Development Permit will not create
conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general
welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in
the vicinity in that the proposed project will be compatible with the existing
and proposed development.
5. Site Design: The site design of the proposed project, including but not limited
to, project entries, interior circulation, pedestrian access, pedestrian
amenities, exterior lighting, and other site design elements such as scale,
appearance, and amount of landscaping are compatible with surrounding
development and quality of design prevalent in the City in that the project
meets the development standards imposed by the City's Zoning Code.
6. Landscape Design: As conditioned, the landscaping of the proposed project,
including but not limited to, the location, type, size, color, texture, and
coverage of plant materials, has been designed to provide visual relief,
complement the site, visually emphasize prominent design elements, provide
a harmonious transition between the parking lot and the church, and provide
an overall unifying influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project.
The proposed landscaping is compatible with the surrounding area in that the
variety of the plant palette, placement of shade trees and decorative plants,
provide an aesthetically pleasing and well functioning use of landscaping
space.
