The proposed use is consistent with the land use designation of General
Commercial. The City's General Plan Policies relating to General Commercial
encourage a wide range of commercial opportunities and support services.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the provisions of the La Quinta Zoning
Code. Use of the space as a church and administrative offices will have similar
characteristics and impacts as professional offices and similar uses which are
permitted by right under the Regional Commercial zoning district and the La
Quinta Corporate Center Specific Plan, and will conform to the development
standards applicable to the use.
3. Processing of this Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use is in compliance
with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. The La Quinta
Community Development Department has determined that the request is
exempt from CEQA under Guideline Section 15332; Class 32 (Infill
Development), in that the proposal constitutes a change in use of land having
no permanent effect on the environment.
4. Approval of this proposed use, subject to required Conditions of Approval, is
consistent with the surrounding uses and will not be a detriment to the public
health, safety and general welfare, nor shall it be injurious or incompatible with
other properties or uses in the vicinity. Use of the space as a church with
administrative offices will have similar characteristics and impacts as the land
use in which it is being located in. Hours and procedures of operations are
based on the seating available and parking capacity of the facility and site, as
supported by the required traffic memo and parking study documents that have
been reviewed with the proposed use.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and correct, and constitute the
findings of the Planning Commission for this Conditional Use Permit;
SECTION 2. That it does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit 2014-157 for the
reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval;
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta
