A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT PLANS
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 90,441 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL
SHOPPIING CENTER ON 10.79 ACRES
CASE NO.: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2007-898
REGENCY MARINITA LA QUINTA, LLC
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 8th day of April, 2008, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing, to consider the
request of Regency Marinita La Quinta, LLC, to approve the development plans for a
90,441 square foot retail shopping center in the Neighborhood Commercial zoning
district, for property located on the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred
Waring Drive, more particularly described as:
APN 604-521-005
WHEREAS, the Planning Department published a public hearing notice in
the Desert Sun newspaper on March 28, 2008, for the Planning Commission meeting
as prescribed by the Municipal Code with public hearing notices mailed to all property
owners within 500 feet of the site; and
WHEREAS, the Architecture and Landscaping Review Committee did on
the 6th day of February, 2008, at a regular meeting, adopted Minute Motion 2008-08,
recommending approval of the development plans for the project, subject to
conditions; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify recommending
approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. The General Plan, Zoning Map, and Specific Plan designate the project area as
Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed commercial project is consistent with
this land use designation and will provide facilities to help serve the needs of the
City.
2. The proposed building is designed to comply with the Zoning Code and Specific
Plan requirements, including, but not limited to, height limits, design, parking,
setbacks, lighting, landscaping and land use.
Planning Commission Resolution 2008-012
Site Development Permit 2007-898
Regency Marinita La Quinta, LLC
Adopted: April 8, 2008
3. The La Quinta Planning Department has determined that the request has been
previously assessed in conjunction with Environmental Assessment 2002-462
prepared for Specific Plan 2002-062 and Site Development Permit 2002-754
which were certified by the City Council on June 20, 2004. No changed
circumstances or conditions are proposed, or new information has been
submitted which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent environmental
review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166.
4. The Spanish Mediterranean architectural design of the 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 the surrounding residential and commercial development and with the
quality of commercial design prevalent in the City and in compliance with the
architectural standards in the applicable Specific Plan in that the adjacent homes
to the north, south and west and commercial project to the east in Indio all
utilize a similar architectural style, materials and colors.
5. The site design of the project, including, but not limited to project entries,
interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian amenities,
screening of equipment and trash enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site
design elements are compatible with future and existing surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the City. The project
complies with Zoning Code requirements and are similar to comparable projects
on Highway 111.
6. Project landscaping, including, but not limited to the location, type, size, color,
texture, and coverage of plant materials conforms to those designated in the
Specific Plan and has been designed so as to provide relief, compliment
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, provide an overall unifying influence,
enhance the visual continuity of the project, and compliment the surrounding
project area, ensuring lower maintenance and water use. Planting design,
materials and sizes are similar to that used in other newer commercial projects.
Planting along the west boundary and especially to the south where homes are
immediately adjacent are provided with shrubs and large trees to provide
screening between the project and adjacent uses.
