Time Extension #1 for One Year
Adopted: January 4, 2011
Page 2
2. No changes have been made to this Village Use Permit from its original approval
and no new or changed environmental considerations exist.
3. The proposed Village Use Permit is consistent with the General Plan, in that the
proposed general office uses are permitted in the General Plan for within the
Village Commercial land use designation. The property is designated Village
Commercial which allows a variety of uses including office commercial and
general business. The Land Use Element of the General Plan encourages
commercial developments throughout the City. This project is consistent with
the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan.
4. The proposed Village Use Permit is consistent with the requirements of the
Zoning Code, in that it will provide uses consistent with those permitted in the
Village Commercial district, and meets the development standards of this
district. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be compatible
with the surrounding area.
5. The proposed Village Use Permit complies with the requirements of the "Rules
to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970," as amended
(City Council Resolution 83-63), insofar as it has been determined that the
project is exempt from CEQA review under Section 15332, Infill Development,
and a Notice of Exemption was filed on April 25, 2008.
6. Approval of the proposed Village Use Permit will not create conditions materially
neither detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare, nor injurious
to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the vicinity, insofar as
adjacent properties are in the Village Commercial, Low -Density Residential, and
Medium -Density Residential districts. The project will not contribute to a
decline of the existing health and safety conditions and has been designed and
conditioned to provide safe and adequate paths of travel, appropriate safety and
security lighting, and protect and retain on -site stormwater. The project has
been reviewed by the appropriate responsible agencies for health, welfare, and
safety issues, with none identified.
7. The architectural design aspects of the proposed Village Use Permit, including,
but not limited to architectural style, scale, building mass, building height,
materials, colors, architectural detailing, roof style and other elements are
compatible with surrounding development, and quality of design illustrated in
the Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines, and with the overall design quality
found in the City in that it incorporates a desert modern theme with
architectural features such as clay tile, decorative pavers, stone facades, and
stucco painted with a desert compatible palate.

8. The site design aspects of the proposed Village Use Permit, including, but not
limited to project entries, parking provisions, interior circulation, vehicular
access, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian amenities, screening, outdoor
lighting, and other elements, are compatible with surrounding development and
quality of design illustrated in the Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines, and
with the overall quality of design found in the City. The proposed project is
suitable for the proposed site as designed in that adequate provisions have been
made such as rooftop utility wells to screen mechanical equipment, pedestrian
connectivity between buildings, landscaping to screen undesirable views and
sufficient vehicular circulation to access and accommodate the intended uses.
9. The project landscaping for the proposed Village Use Permit including, but not
limited to location, size, type and coverage of plant materials, has been
designed to provide visual relief, unify and enhance visual continuity of the site
with the surrounding developments, compliment the; project and existing
restaurant, improve water efficiency, and be consistent with the concepts in the
Village at La Quinta Design Guidelines.
10. With the conditions of approval for the shared parking and access easement
agreement and recorded covenant for the shared day -night use of the facility
between the office buildings and restaurant, the proposed Village Use Permit
will not result in a significant impact on parking and traffic within the project
site or the surrounding area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the City
Council in this case.
