November 22, 2005
2. The proposed Development Agreement is compatible with the uses and
regulations as stipulated for the Village Commercial land use and zoning
districts, as it ensures that parking improvements will be installed,
maintained, and operated in a manner consistent with alternative parking
solutions as permitted under the Village Commercial zoning.
3. The proposed Development Agreement is in conformity with the public
necessity, convenience, general welfare and good land use practice, in that
the Development Agreement will allow development of office and retail uses
proximate to residential uses in the area.. The Development Agreement sets
forth operational standards which will make the on-site parking available to
the general public when not in use, and requires the payment of fees to the
City for 15 deficient parking stalls, which will be used ultimately to provide
general public parking in the .Village.
4. The proposed Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare. All immediately surrounding property is
zoned for Village Commercial Development, and existing properties to the
north, west and south are developed as commercial retail/office, commercial
retail and residential, respectively. Development of office and retail uses
proximate to residential uses in the area will not significantly impact quality
of life for area residents.
5. The proposed Development Agreement will not affect the orderly
development of property or the preservation of property values. Development
of the subject site, pursuant to the approval under Village Use Permit 2005-
027 and this Development Agreement, will enhance property values and
stimulate further growth as planned for in the Village at La Quinta.
6. The proposed Development Agreement will have a positive fiscal impact on
the City, in that implementation of the Development Agreement will produce
revenues for parking development programs in the Village at La Quinta, as
well as promote sales tax revenues from future tenants of the approved
project, and future projects, in the Village at La Quinta.
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
