justify a recommendation of approval for said Development Agreement:
1. The proposed Development Agreement is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan and Municipal Code, based on approval of Village Use Permit
2008 -042, and the findings made thereto under Planning Commission
Resolution 2011-015. Village . Use Permit 2008 -042 will not be developed in
any manner inconsistent with the General Plan land use designation of

2. The proposed Development Agreement is compatible with the uses and
regulations as stipulated for the Village Commercial land use and zoning
districts, as it ensures that parking improvements will be installed,
maintained, and operated in a manner consistent with alternative parking
solutions as permitted under the Village Commercial zoning.
3. The proposed Development Agreement is in conformity with the public
necessity, convenience, general welfare and good land use practices in that
the Development Agreement will allow for the development of a veterinary
office similar to other uses in the area. The Development Agreement sets
forth operational standards which will make the on -site parking available to
the general public when not in use, and requires the payment of fees to the
City for 13 deficient parking stalls, which will be used ultimately to provide
general public parking in the Village.
4. The proposed Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare. The adjacent property is zoned for Village
Commercial Development and most of the surrounding properties are zoned
for a variety of land uses including residential and recreational uses.
Development of a veterinary office in proximity to residential and recreational
uses in the area will not significantly impact quality of life for area residents.
5. The proposed Development Agreement will not affect the orderly
development of property or the preservation of property values. Development
of the subject site, pursuant to the approval under Village Use Permit 2008-
042 and this Development Agreement, will enhance property values and
stimulate further growth as planned for in the Village at La Quinta.
6. The proposed Development Agreement will have a positive fiscal impact on
the City, in that implementation of the Development Agreement will produce
revenues for parking development programs in the Village at La Quinta, as
well as promote tax revenues from future users and clients of the approved
project in the Village at La Quinta.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of
the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the
Planning Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby recommend to the La Quinta City Council approval of
Planning Commission Resolution 2011 -017
Development Agreement 2011 -022
November 8, 2011
