1. Site Development Permit 2006-875 is consistent with the La Quinta General
Plan, in that the project site is designated as Community Commercial (CC)
which permits and anticipates the retail and office uses as proposed. The
commercial uses will therefore help achieve the goal and permitted uses of
the CC designation.
2. Site Development Permit 2006-875 is consistent with the La Quinta Zoning
Code in that it proposes commercial uses permitted under the Community
Commercial (CC) zoning designation. The project's proposed uses are
consistent with the uses identified in the CC district and have been designed
or are conditioned to comply with the development standards of the CC
district and other Zoning Code requirements such as parking, setbacks,
building heights, and landscaping.
3. Processing and approval of Site Development Permit 2006-875 is in
compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act. The La Quinta Planning Department has prepared a Final Environmental
Impact Report SCH #2007121009 (Final EIR) for the Project, which includes
Site Development Permit 2006-875, in compliance with the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. The Final EIR was
