WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 16~h day of May, 2000, hold a duly-noticed Public Hearing to consider Conditional
Use Permit 2000-049 to allow a service station with service bay canopy generally

particularly described as:
APN: 604-050-002 and a portion of 604-050-035
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,

2000-024 recommending approval of Conditional Use Permit 2000-049, to allow a
service station with service bay canopy generally located at the northwest corner of
Highway 111 and Washington Street.
WHEREAS, said Conditional Use Permit 2000-049 has complied with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (as amended),
pursuant to the adoption of Resolution 83-68 by the City Council, in that the
Community Development Director has conducted an Initial Study (EA 2000-395), and

on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environr~ental Impact is
recommended; 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
City Council did make the following mandatory findings of approval to justify a

2. The proposed service station use is consistent with the City's Zoning Code in
that development standards and criteria contained in the Specific Plan as
conditioned, supplement, replace, or are consistent with those in the City's
Zoning Code.
3. Approval of this Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or general welfare or incompatible with surrounding properties.
The adjacent properties are designated and zoned for commercial use and the
site is located at the intersection of two Arterial roadways, which commonly
attracts automotive-based commercial uses. The conditional uses proposed are
a consistent representation of the uses which would be proposed for
surrounding sites. The adverse impact of the project will be mitigated to an
acceptable level and generally in conformance with the Dark Sky Ordinance
with a soft lighting design which includes limiting the height, direction and
wattage of the lights fixtures, shielding the light fixtures, and limiting lighting
levels during night operation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Counc~il of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the City Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby approve the above-described Conditional Use Permit
request for the reasons set forth in this Resolution, and subject to the attached
Conditions of Approval.
