WHEREAS, the La Quinta Architecture and Landscaping Review
Committee, at their meeting on the 7" day of March, 2007 reviewed the
development plans associated with Site Development Permit 2006-875, and
adopted a Minute Motion recommending approval to the Planning Commission,
subject to staff -recommended conditions; and
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the
Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings to justify a
recommendation of approval for the Site Development Permit:
1. Site Development Permit 2006-875 is consistent with the La Quinta General
Plan, in that the project site is designated as Community Commercial 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 Community Commercial 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 are in
compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act. The La Quinta Planning Department has prepared a Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report SCH #2007121009 (Draft 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 Draft
EIR was presented to the Planning Commission, which reviewed and
considered the information contained in said Draft EIR prior to its
recommendations to the City Council on the Project
4. The architectural design of Site Development Permit 2006-875, including,
but not limited to the architectural style, scale, building mass, materials,
colors, architectural details, roof style, and other architectural elements, are
compatible with surrounding development and with the quality of design
prevalent in the City. The project architecture is internally consistent in
architectural design and materials used throughout the project site.

Adopted: February 24, 2009
5. The site design of Site Development Permit 2006-875, including, but not

site design elements will be compatible with surrounding development and
with the quality of design prevalent in the City.
6. Site Development Permit 2006-875 landscaping, including but not limited to
the location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of plant materials is
designed and conditioned so as to provide relief, complement buildings,
visually emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, screen undesirable
views, and provide a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses. The
project will serve to establish an overall unifying influence, enhance the
visual continuity of the project, complement the surrounding project area and
comply with City and CVWD water efficiency requirements, ensuring
efficient water use.
