V. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Zoning Code Amendment 2010-102; a request by the City of La
Quinta for consideration of Zoning Code Amendment to the La Quinta
Municipal Code, Section 9.60.030, to Permit Review of Alternative
Fence Materials Not Currently Identified in the Code Section
9.120.020 "Table of Permitted Uses" to add the Sale of Golf Carts as
a Conditionally Permitted Use in the Golf Course Zoning District.
Planning Director Les Johnson presented the staff report, a copy of
which is on file in the Planning Department.
Chairman Alderson said he would like the Commission to address the
Planning Commission Minutes
February 8, 2011
two items separately, first the alternative fence materials, and then
the sale of golf carts. He asked if there were any questions of staff.
Commissioners Wilkinson and Barrows asked if the owners who had
installed the metal fence shown on Attachment #3, at 46700 Cameo
Palms Drive, had complied with the Planning Commission's
requirement to put caps on top of the metal fence.
Staff replied that no action had been taken on the case as it was
subject to the decision pending tonight. Staff would notify the owner
of what would be required to address this issue after the zoning code
amendment was adopted by Council.
Chairman Alderson asked if sheet metal fencing was allowed,
shouldn't the code specify the type of coating it must have. Staff
replied that it would be better to address coating on an application -by -
application basis in order to ensure that the metal fencing materials
used were architecturally suitable, there was no glare, etc.
Chairman Alderson said he was pleased with the fact that staff was
revisiting the issue of golf cart sales and refining the allowable
boundaries.
Commissioner Barrows asked to clarify that the code amendment was
specific to allowing Golf Cart Sales in the Golf Course Zoning District,
and that it didn't also include neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) or
the allowance of the sale of golf carts in other zoning districts.
Staff replied the section was specifically identified as Golf Cart Sales
which did not include other types of electric vehicles. He explained if
the amendment was approved, it would be applicable city-wide,
meaning, that it would allow for consideration of Golf Cart Sales to
occur anywhere within the City on a Golf Course zoned property.
Staff said the sale of NEVs, in addition to golf carts, was allowed
subject to a Conditional Use Permit approval, in retail establishments
in areas zoned as Retail/Commercial.
There being no further questions of staff Chairman Alderson asked if
there was any public comment.
There being no questions or public comments, Chairman Alderson

Planning Commission Minutes

opened the matter for Commission discussion.
There being no further questions or discussion, it was moved and
seconded by Commissioners Quill/Wilkinson to adopt Resolution 2011-
002 recommending approval of the proposed modification of La Quinta
Municipal Code Section 9.60.030, to permit review of alternative
fence materials, and Section 9.120.020 "Table of Permitted Uses" as
submitted.
AYES: Commissioners Barrows, Quill, Wilkinson, and Chairman
Alderson. NOES: None. ABSENT: Commissioner Weber. ABSTAIN:
None.
VI. BUSINESS ITEMS: None.
VII. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL: None.
Vill. COMMISSIONER ITEMS:
A. Report of the City Council Meeting of February 1, 2011, presented by
Commissioner Quill. He said the City Council adopted the proposed
Non -Motorized Vehicle Transportation Plan.
Commissioner Quill said Council discussed the landscaping for the
Highway 111 Corridor and a new monument sign, and asked why
these items were never presented to the Planning Commission for
review and consideration.
Staff replied that the Municipal Code protocol for landscaping permits
and enhancements to public facilities required only Council review and
approval which was why the case was never presented to the
Planning Commission.
Commissioner Barrows asked if that was because these were projects
handled by the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (RDA). Planning
Director Johnson replied that not all projects were RDA projects. He
explained it was related to City projects administered directly through
City Hall for which the entitlement process did not require Planning
Commission consideration. City Council could decide to have some
projects presented to other Boards, Commissions, and/or Committees,
and direct staff to do so.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 8, 2011
Planning Director Johnson said that this policy was currently under
review as part of the General Plan Update and could be revised in the
not too distant future.
Commissioner Barrows asked if the adoption of the Non -Motorized
Vehicle Transportation Plan makes the City of La Quinta eligible for
the BTA Grant. Staff replied it did.
Commissioner Quill asked if the City would be applying for the grant.
Staff replied it was definitely a matter the City was interested in
proceeding with, particularly the Whitewater Channel Trail, but that it
would not be applying for the grant this year and explained why.
Commissioner Barrows asked what was the responsibility of the
Planning Commission for implementing the adoption of the Non -
Motorized Vehicle Transportation Plan. Staff replied that the Non -
Motorized Vehicle Transportation Plan was already included in the
City's General Plan Transportation Element. The adoption of the plan
was merely taking those sections out of the General Plan and
combining it with similar information from the County and State and
making it its own document.
Commissioner Wilkinson asked if there were any other funding options
available for the Whitewater Channel Trail. Staff replied there were
some and gave a brief description of what those were.
B. Chairman Alderson noted Commissioner Barrows was scheduled to
report back on the February 15, 2011, Council meeting.
C. Quarterly Attendance, Record.
Chairman Alderson said he was very pleased with the Commission's
attendance record.

REGIONAL COMMERCIAL CENTER / CENTRE
AT LA QUINTA COMMERCIAL CENTER
BACKGROUND
Dune Palms Plaza is located on the southeast corner of Dune Palms Road and Highway
1 1 1 . The site includes a fueling station to the north and a commercial building on the
south end that runs parallel to Dune Palms Road, with parking spaces on the front and
back sides of the building.
Currently, the only use that has been conditionally approved for the commercial
building is for a beauty school. The original approval was for a 5,041 square foot
beauty school. An amendment to the original Conditional Use Permit was granted in
2009 to increase the size of the tenant space to 7,593 square feet and the number of
the students per session from eight to twenty.
The other uses currently existing are permitted in the Regional Commercial (CR).
PROPOSAL
The popularity of the programs and the need for additional space has triggered the
request to amend the Conditional Use Permit to accommodate the increase in number
of students and classroom area. The owners of the school are requesting a second
amendment to increase their tenant space from 7,593 to 12,693 square feet and the
number of students from 20 per session to 65 (Attachment 3).
At 23,184 square feet, the multi -tenant building has never been fully leased. It has a
north/south orientation and faces Dune Palms Road. The beauty school is currently
located within suites C-2, D, and E. Expanding the use will utilize the remainder south
end of the building, suites F and G for a total of 12,693 square feet, an increase of
5,100 square feet from the first amendment (Attachment 4). The remainder 10,491
square feet of the building will be partially occupied or vacant.
Operations
Proposed Expansion Use
The applicant is proposing to expand the school by 5,100 square feet to allow
additional storage space, conference/class area, student and employee break rooms,
and additional work stations, and space for a new aesthetics program.
CUP 03-075 AMD NO. 2 Planning Commission Staff Report 03/08/2011 — Page 2 of 7
PAReports - PC\201 1\3-8-1 1\CUP 2003-075 AMD 2\CUP 2003-075 Amendment 2 REPORT.doc
The additional stations will be located towards the front section of the tenant space.
Break and conference rooms will be located towards the back.
Employees and Hours of Operation
There will. be three different sessions for the students throughout the week as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, Saturday: 8:00 A.M. — 6:30 P.M.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 8:00 A.M. — 6:30 P.M.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday: 5:30 P.M. — 9:30 P.M.
The number of school staff employees will be between ten to twelve per session.
As part of the training, services will be provided to the public from 10:30 A.M. — 5:00
P.M. for the daytime session students and from 6:30 P.M. — 8:00 P.M. for the evening
session. Services provided to the public include such items as hairstyling, manicures,
and pedicures.
Parkin
Parking spaces are more or less evenly distributed on both the east and west sides of
the building for a total of 99 spaces. The previous amendment allocated sixty parking
spaces for the school.
ANALYSIS
A Conditional Use Permit is required for a beauty school in all non-residential districts
except the Community Commercial and Tourist Commercial districts, where it is
prohibited. Therefore, to establish any such use and to propose amendments to an
approved Conditional Use Permit requires a public hearing and approval from the
Planning Commission.
The changes proposed would not alter the design of the building and therefore does not
require amending the Site Development Permit or a review of any application that is
necessary to carry out a minor modification of the approved building.
The use is generally compatible with other commercial retail uses along the Highway
1 1 1 commercial corridor and provides services that are similar to beauty salons, barber
shops, and nail salons that currently exist within the Regional Commercial District.

Page 3 of 7
P:\Reports - PC\201 1\3-8-1 1\CUP 2003-075 AMD 2\CUP 2003-075 Amendment 2 REPORT.doc
As previously noted, the building is not fully leased, but consideration must be made
for the impact the increased number of students will have on future tenants as well as
existing.
Operations
Proposed Expansion Use
The expansion of the school, although necessary to provide additional programs does
significantly increase the size of the tenant space from 7,593 to 12,693. The
expansion itself is not necessarily what is going to impact the current and future
businesses within the building, but the increase in the number of students. Therefore,
staff is recommending that sessions be limited to 48 students and not the proposed
65.
Emolovees and Hours of Operation
The proposed class sessions are staggered throughout the week (Monday through
Saturday), which keeps the number expected students consistent throughout the week
for the existing tenants and customers.
One concern staff has is the overlapping of two different sessions in the evenings
between 5:30 P.M. and 6:30 P.M. when the day session is concluding and the evening
session is beginning.
Since the number of students that staff is recommending would increase the number
of students to 48 per session, which is more than double what is currently approved,
staff recommends that two sessions not overlap at any time of the day to minimize
parking conflicts between the school and the other tenants within the building.
Parkin
Parking spaces are conveniently located on the west side as shown in Attachment 5
(front of the building) and east side as shown in Attachment 6 (back of the building),
for a total of 99 spaces. The Dune Palms Plaza Specific Plan (SP 96-028) requires one
parking space for every 400 square feet. This requirement differs greatly from the
standard requirement for commercial buildings less than 50,000 square feet, which are
required to provide one space for every 200 square feet of the building.
CUP 03-075 AMD NO. 2 Planning Commission Staff Report 03/08/2011 — Page 4 of 7
PAReports - PC\201 1\3-8-1 1\CUP 2003-075 AMD 2\CUP 2003-075 Amendment 2 REPORT.doc
The list that follows breaks down the proposed area for the school and the building.
Area of entire building 23,184 square feet
Area of school with proposed expansion 12,693 square feet
Area of the remainder of the building . 10,491 square feet
As the center currently provides 99 parking spaces, per the approved Specific Plan, the
remainder (non -school portion of the building) 10,491 square feet would require 27
parking spaces (based on the Specific Plan requirement of one parking space for every
400 square feet); thus leaving 72 spaces available for use by the school.
To be able to meet the parking needs for the current and future tenants, staff
recommends reducing the number of students to not exceed 48 per session. This
would limit the number of parking spaces required and minimize the impact to current
and future tenants. Staff made multiple visits at different times of the day and the
average number of parking spaces in use totaled 47 for the entire parking lot.
A limit of 48 students per session would allow the school to add 28 additional
students to the 20 student limit that was conditioned in the first amendment. Total
parking required would work as follows:
Total parkin on -site
99 parking spaces
Spaces required for 10,491 SF per
27 parking spaces
Specific Plan (1/400)
Remaining for the 48 students and
72 parking spaces
staff
It is s probable that not every student has their own vehicle and estimating that up to
10 of them will either rideshare or get dropped off at the school, the 72 parking
spaces for the school would break down as follows:
Students per session 48
Rideshare or dropped off -10
Number of spaces left for
Students driving to school 38
Spaces left for staff 10
Spaces left for paying customers
with 50% of students working
with a customer 24
Total 72

P:\Reports - PC\2011\3-8-11\CUP 2003-075 AMD 2\CUP 2003-075 Amendment 2 REPORT.doc
Based upon the aforementioned, staff has concluded that sufficient parking would
exist to accommodate the proposed expansion, up to a maximum of 48 students per
session, as well as parking for current and future tenants of the remainder of the
building.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Department has determined that this project is categorically exempt from
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15301 (Class 1 Leasing of Existing Private Facilities) and Section 15332 (Class 32 In -
