standards of the Regional Commercial zoning district and other
supplemental standards as established in Title 9 of the La Quinta Municipal
Code.

4. Architectural Design
The architecture and layout of the project is compatible with, and not
detrimental to, the existing surrounding commercial land uses, and is
consistent with the development standards in the Municipal Code. The
buildings are concluded to be appropriate for the proposed building
locations, and supplemental design elements (vibrant color palette, stone
veneer, column pop -outs, etc.) appropriately enhance the architecture of
the buildings.
5. Site Design
The site design of the project, including project entries, interior circulation,
pedestrian access and amenities, screening of equipment and trash
enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site design elements are compatible
with surrounding development and with the quality of design prevalent in
the city.
6. Landscape Design
The proposed project is consistent with the landscaping standards and plant
palette and implements the standards for landscaping and aesthetics
established in the General Plan and Zoning Code. The project landscaping
for the proposed buildings, as conditioned, shall unify and enhance visual
continuity of the proposed buildings with the surrounding development.
Landscape improvements are designed and sized to provide visual appeal
while adequately screening the parking lot and drive through from public
view. The permanent overall site landscaping utilizes various tree and shrub
species to enhance the building architecture.
