PARCEL MAP 36883
LEGAL: APN: 643-020-032
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Tentative Parcel Map 2015-0008 (TPM 37010), subject to the attached
Findings and Conditions of Approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to subdivide an approximately 7.24 acre parcel into two
parcels within the Washington Park commercial development (Attachment 1). Staff
supports the proposal and has no significant issues with the proposed subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
Washington Park is located south of Highway 111, between Washington Street and
Adams Street (Attachment 2). Phase 4 of Washington Park is currently being
developed, which includes the construction of a 47,427 square foot, 12-screen movie
theater and restaurant pads for future development.
The subject property is a single parcel, which was previously subdivided as part of
Parcel Map 36883, approved earlier this year.
PH 1

PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS:
Tentative Parcel Map 37010 proposes to subdivide Parcel 1 of PM 36883 into two
commercial parcels: Parcel 1 (6.30 acres) and Parcel 2 (0.94 acres) (Attachment 3).
The proposal intends to accommodate a separate parcel for the possibility of an
expansion to the existing movie theater. The proposed division does not modify any
circulation, utility service, density or other design element of the originally approved
Site Development Permit. Reciprocal Parking and circulation across parcels will ensure
a cohesive development.
The design of Tentative Parcel Map 37010, as conditioned, conforms to current state,
regional, and local design guidelines and standards including those of the La Quinta
General Plan and Municipal Code. The proposed site design incorporates the interior
circulation pattern, infrastructure, and utilities consistent with that of the previously
approved Site Development Permit, is in compliance with the applicable Washington
Park Specific Plan and General Plan goals, policies, and development standards.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW:
Public Agency Review:
This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public agencies
on September 23, 2015. All written comments received are on file and available for
review with the Community Development Department. All applicable comments have
been incorporated in the recommended Conditions of Approval.
Public Notice:
This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 6, 2015, and
mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. To date, no comments have
been received from adjacent property owners. Any written comments received will be
handed out at the hearing.

FINDINGS
A. The proposed tentative parcel map is consistent with the City’s General Plan and
Washington Park Specific Plan. The proposed map conforms to the design
guidelines and standards of the General Plan for General Commercial designated
properties, as set forth in the Land Use Element, in that it will facilitate the
construction of additional retail options while maintaining commercial
development standards including setbacks, pad elevations, and other design and
performance standards that assure a high quality of development.
B. The design or improvement of the proposed tentative parcel map is consistent
with the City’s General Plan and Washington Park Specific Plan in that its street
and parcel design are in conformance with applicable goals, policies, and
development standards, and will provide adequate infrastructure and public
utilities.
C. The design of the tentative parcel map and the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. The City of La Quinta Community Development
Department has determined that this project is Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15315 Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions).
D. The design of the tentative parcel map and the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems. As conditioned, the proposed
tentative parcel map will not result in any increased hazard to public health or
welfare, as the design has been reviewed by the appropriate responsible agencies
for health and safety issues, with none identified.
E. The site of the proposed tentative parcel map is physically suitable for the type of
development and proposed density of development. As conditioned, the proposed
design of the subdivision is physically compatible with the site with regards to level
topography for the type of land use designation and potential development of the
subject property, and in consideration of existing commercial development in the
surrounding area.
F. As conditioned, the proposed tentative parcel map is consistent with all applicable
provisions of this title and the La Quinta Zoning Ordinance, including, but not
limited to, minimum lot area requirements, any other applicable provisions of this

code, and the Subdivision Map Act.
G. As conditioned, the design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision, in that none presently exist and access is
provided within the project and to adjacent public streets.
