STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE CANCELLATION OF REGULAR PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETINGS OF NOVEMBER 26 AND DECEMBER 24, 2019
RECOMMENDATION
Approve cancelling the regular Planning Commission meetings of November 26 and
December 24, 2019.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Design and Development Director and Planning staff have reviewed pending
items and determined that there is no need to hold the November 26, 2019
Planning Commission meeting.
• The regular Planning Commission meeting of December 24, 2019 falls on
Christmas Eve which is a designated holiday per the Personnel Policies.
• Advance notice of cancelled meetings will allow Planning Commissioners, Staff
and the public to properly plan for deadlines, workflow, and their schedules.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Design and Development Director and Planning Staff have reviewed items
requiring Planning Commission (Commission) consideration and there are no matters
that require the Commission’s review on November 26, 2019. Additionally, the regular
Commission meeting of December 24, 2019 falls on Christmas Eve which is a
designated holiday per the Personnel Policies. Matters requiring the Commission’s
review have been scheduled for December 10, 2019. Since staff would not need to
prepare agenda packets for these meetings, there would be a cost savings associated
with production the packets. The next regular meeting of the Commission is January
14, 2020.
The recommended November/December/January meeting schedule is:
• November 26, 2019 CANCEL
• December 10, 2019 regular meeting
• December 24, 2019 CANCEL
• January 14, 2020 regular meeting
ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative.

PROJECT INFORMATION
PROJECT: DRIVE-THROUGH STARBUCKS
APPLICANT: KAIDENCE GROUP
OWNER: LQ INVESTMENTS
CEQA: THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED
THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APPROVED FOR PLOT PLAN
91-456 AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 91-187 AND
APPROVED ON APRIL 16, 1991.
LOCATION: NORTHWEST CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND CALLE
TAMPICO, APNs 770-020-015 THROUGH 770-020-021
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution recommending that the City Council approve Site Development
Permit 2019-0002, Zone Change 2019-0002, Variance 2019-0001, and
Environmental Assessment 2019-0002, subject to the Findings and Conditions
of Approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The La Quinta Village Shopping Center (Center) was approved in April
1991 for an approximate 116,660 square foot (sf) shopping center on the
site via Plot Plan 91-456 (PP 91-456). A General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, and Environmental Assessment were also approved.
• PP 91-456 was amended in 1992 and 1994 to reduce the shopping center
from 116,600 sf to 79,333 sf. The shopping center was built and exists
under the 79,333 sf configuration.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1
• The applicant is requesting to construct a 2,790 sf. drive-through
Starbucks building with an outdoor patio within the parking lot of the
Center (Attachment 1).
• In order to accommodate a drive-through, the applicant has proposed a
Zone Change from Neighborhood Commercial (CN) to Community
Commercial (CC), and requests a variance for the drive-thru facility to be
closer than the minimum 200 feet distance from residential, and a
reduction of the car length space after the drive-thru exit.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Center was approved in April 1991 for an approximate 116,660 sf.
shopping center on the site via PP 91-456 and Environmental Assessment 91-
187 (EA 91-187). A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change were also
approved to allow for commercial uses. An amendment was approved in
November 1992 in order to decrease the project size to 85,645 sf of
commercial space. A second amendment was approved in April 1994 to reduce
the commercial square footage to 79,333 and to revise building and circulation
configuration. The shopping center that exists today was built under the
configuration approved in the second amendment (Attachment 2).
Zone Change
The applicant requests Zone Change (ZC) approval for the new proposed drive-
through. The existing CN zone does not allow drive-throughs whereas the
proposed CC zone does. The CN district is intended to meet the daily needs of
a neighborhood area whereas the CC district is intended to meet the needs of a
multi-neighborhood area. The project site is located in an area that does serve
multiple neighborhoods as it abuts existing apartment complexes, is in close
proximity to the Cove, residential homes directly east of Washington Street,
residential communities on the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue
50, and residential communities north and south of Avenue 52, including future
residential communities at SilverRock. The property is similar in purpose and
size to other CC sites throughout the City (Attachment 3).
The ZC would provide more uses that would be permitted by right or by use
permit for the Center. This provides more options for activity within the
Center, including more options for the former Ralphs building which has been
vacant since 2014. The ZC would not create any nonconformities for any of the
structures or uses currently existing. Attachment 4 highlights the changes that
would occur through the change from CN to CC.
Variance
The applicant requests a variance from drive-through facilities Section
9.100.270(A) and (G), as follows:
- No drive-through facility shall be permitted within 200 feet of any
residentially zoned or used property. The applicant proposes to be 170
feet away.
- Exits from drive-through facilities shall be at least three vehicles in
length. The applicant proposes the drive-through exit to be one vehicle
in length.
Attachment 5 provides the applicant’s variance statement of findings for
justification on the proposed variance and is summarized as follows:
- The 200-foot distance to residential zoned property requirement is not
being met by a total of 30 ft, to the closest residential property east of
Washington street. There is a major arterial road, two screen walls,
existing landscaping, and additional proposed landscaping that will create
an adequate buffer.
- The exiting requirement is mitigated by the distance from the exit of the
drive-through to the egress onto Washington Street. There is 138 feet of
stacking room from the exit to Washington St. The City’s traffic engineer
concurred with this statement and did not feel it would create an adverse
impact on internal circulation or surrounding streets.
- Special circumstances exist with the parcel shape, location, and
surrounding existing buildings and infrastructure that make it difficult to
orient the building to meet distance and exit queuing standards. The
building site is located within a narrow portion of a larger parcel and
other orientations of the building were not feasible. (Attachment 2).
Site Development Permit
The applicant requests Site Development Permit (SDP) approval for the new
2,790 sf drive-through Starbucks. SDP approval is requested for landscaping
and architectural design of the Starbucks (Attachment 6).
Site Design
The building will consist of a 2,790 sf. Starbucks coffee shop with a 700 sf.
outdoor dining patio and drive-through facility. The building reflects design
similar and compatible with the surrounding buildings within the Center: sloped
roofs with mission tiles, exterior plaster, and wood trellis and will also
incorporate stone veneer, flat roof porch, and a light tan and brown color
palette (Attachment 7).
The building meets all development standards of the CC zone, including
setbacks, floor area ratio, and heights. The maximum height of 20’-8” meets
the height requirements of the image corridor standards as required due to
proximity to Washington Street.
The building requires 35 parking stalls and the proposal includes 27 parking
spaces on site which would include dedicated parking spaces for electrical
vehicles and Mobile Order Parking. The building would also include a removal
of 27 existing parking spaces, which would bring the total parking spaces in the
Center from 489 to 462, which would be 1 space per every 179 sf for the entire
82,823 sq. ft. shopping center. This project is proposed within the Village
Build-Out Plan Area where a reduction of fifty percent is allowed and any
variation of the parking standard can be approved. Given the fifty percent
reduction allowed, combined with shared parking allowable within the shopping
center, the proposed building would still have adequate parking for its
operations.
The applicant prepared a traffic memo to analyze impacts the new building and
drive-through facility could have on surrounding streets, to the satisfaction of
the City Engineer and City Traffic Engineer (Attachment 8). This memo took
into account the future reduced lane configuration of Calle Tampico. The drive-
through configuration meets the drive-through standards of the City, except as
previously mentioned in the requested variance.
Landscaping and Lighting
New landscaping is proposed within the project site. The landscaping along the
Washington Street perimeter which will remain as is (Attachment 6 – Page 11).
The assorted species of plants and trees, including agaves, bougainvillea, and
Mexican heather, add character to the proposed development, are consistent
with desert landscaping palettes in the City and existing Center, and provide
sufficient screening and accents around the vehicular circulation areas. The
proposed shrubs along the drive-through stacking area provide sufficient
screening and complements existing palms and wall along Washington Street.
Project lighting will include parking lot lighting with 26’ tall LED light posts and
building mounted lights well below the roof line. The building mounted lights
will be modern outdoor bronze sconces (Attachment 7). The photometric plan
provided meets the City’s parking lot lighting standards.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Agency Review
This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public
agencies on April 25, 2019. All written comments received are on file and
available for review with the Design and Development Department. All
applicable comments have been adequately addressed and/or incorporated in
the recommended Conditions of Approval.
Public Notice
The public hearing notice was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on
November 1, 2019 and was sent to property owners and occupants within a
500-foot radius of the project site. The applicant also noticed and hosted a
community meeting on October 30, 2019 at the local Embassy Suites. No
comments have been received as of this date.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Design and Development Department has determined that the proposed
project is consistent with the mitigated negative declaration approved for Plot
Plan 91-456 and environmental assessment 91-187, approved on April 16,
1991. The original approval included a shopping center with a build out of
116,600 sf of commercial space. Subsequent amendments reduced this to
79,333 sf, the current configuration. This proposal increases the square
footage to 82,823, which is still well under the original 116,600 analyzed by the
original environmental assessment. The applicant prepared a traffic memo, on
file with the Design and Development Department, that demonstrates no
significant impacts from the drive-through facility.

WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings
pursuant to Section 9.210.010 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify
approval of said Site Development Permit:
1. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land
use designation of General Commercial. The City’s General Plan
policies relating to General Commercial encourage a full range of
commercial uses within the City, and the proposed use maintains

those policies. The proposed project is consistent with the following
Goals, Programs, and Policies:
• Goal LU-6 and ED-1 as it will contribute to a balanced and
varied economic base which provides fiscal stability to the City
and provide a broad range of goods and services to its residents
and region.
• Goal LU-2 as the project consists of high quality design that
complements and enhances the City. The design of the project
incorporates the existing architectural style within commercial
center but enhances it with modern architectural elements.
• Program CIR-1.12.a: Locate land uses that provide jobs and
housing near each other to allow the use of alternative modes
of travel and produce shorter work commutes. The project will
be developed with access to existing Villa Cortina Apartments
and Seasons residential development, providing an opportunity
for jobs and housing near each other. The project is also
located in close proximity to existing residential developments
to the north, south, and east.
• Policy CIR-1.16 which states to continue to implement the
Image Corridor treatments throughout the City. This project
maintains a height under 22 feet within the first 150 feet from
Washington Street, an image corridor, which is consistent with
the Image Corridor standards.
• Policy ED-1.2 as it will support and assist in the retention of
existing businesses and the recruitment of new businesses.
This proposal is for the retention of an existing Starbucks to
construct a new building within the same shopping center.
Drive-throughs are an attractive use in facilitating the
recruitment of new businesses.
• Policy ED-1.5 which states projects proposed on commercial
land shall be evaluated for their job creating and revenue
generating potential. This project’s scope and operations will
create jobs and lead to annual sales tax and generate transit
occupancy tax revenue for the City.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code
The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the
development standards of the City’s Zoning Code and the purpose
and intent of the Community Commercial District. The Community

Commercial district is intended to meet the needs of a multi-
neighborhood area. The project site is located in an area that does
serve multiple neighborhoods as it abuts existing apartment
developments, is in close proximity to the Cove, residential homes
east of Washington Street, residential communities on the
intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50, and residential
communities north and south of Avenue 52, including future
residential community at SilverRock.
3. Compliance with CEQA
The Design and Development Department has determined that the
proposed project is consistent with the mitigated negative declaration
approved for Plot Plan 91-456 and Environmental Assessment 91-
187 and approved on April 16, 1991. As mentioned, the original
approval approved a shopping center under a 116,600 square foot of
commercial space build out. Subsequent amendments lowered this
to 79,333 square feet, which is how it currently exists. This proposal
increases the square footage to 82,823, which is still well under the
original 116,600 square feet analyzed by the original environmental
assessment.
4. Architectural Design
The architecture and layout of the project is compatible with, and not
detrimental to, the existing surrounding commercial land uses, the
existing commercial buildings within the shopping center, and is
consistent with the development standards in the Municipal Code.
5. Site Design
The site design of the project is 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.
Landscape improvements are designed and sized to provide visual
appeal. The permanent overall site landscaping utilizes various tree
and shrub species to enhance the building architecture, be

WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings
pursuant to Section 9.220.010 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify
approval of said Zone Change from Neighborhood Commercial to Community
Commercial:
7. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of General Commercial. The City’s General Plan policies
relating to General Commercial encourage a full range of commercial
uses within the City, and the proposed use maintains those policies. The
proposed project is consistent with the following Goals, Programs, and
Policies:
• Goal LU-6 and ED-1 as it will contribute to a balanced and
varied economic base which provides fiscal stability to the City
and provide a broad range of goods and services to its residents
and region. The Zone Change will allow for more options for
the subject site to provide broader range of goods and services.
• Program CIR-1.12.a: Locate land uses that provide jobs and
housing near each other to allow the use of alternative modes
of travel and produce shorter work commutes. The project will
have access to existing adjacent Villa Cortina Apartments and
Seasons residential development, providing an opportunity for
jobs and housing near each other. Housing developments are
also to the south, west and east of the project site.
• Policy ED-1.2 as it will support and assist in the retention of
existing businesses and the recruitment of new businesses.
This proposal is for the retention of an existing Starbucks to
construct a new building within the same shopping center. The
Zone Change will allow for more uses within the center,
opening up new opportunities for recruitment of new
businesses. Drive-throughs are an attractive use in facilitating
the recruitment of new businesses.

• Policy ED-1.3 as it will encourage the expansion of the Village
as a specialty retail, dining and residential destination. The
project site is located within the Village Build Out Plan, and the
zone change allows the subject site to have more uses
consistent with Village Commercial district, enhancing the
Village area as a specialty retail, dining and residential
destination.
• Policy ED-1.5 which states projects proposed on commercial
land shall be evaluated for their job creating and revenue
generating potential. This project will allow for more options
for the subject site to allow for more job and revenue
opportunities.
8. Public Welfare
Approval of the zone map change will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
9. Land Use Compatibility
The new zoning is compatible with the zoning on adjacent properties.
The project site is located within the Village Build Out Plan, and the zone
change allows the subject site to have more uses consistent with the
surrounding Village Commercial district. The new zoning district is
intended to meet the needs of a multi-neighborhood area. The project
site is located in an area that does serve multiple neighborhoods as it
abuts existing apartment developments, is in close proximity to the
Cove, residential homes east of Washington Street, residential
communities on the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50,
and residential communities north and south of Avenue 52, including
future residential community at SilverRock. The property would be
similar in purpose and size to other Community Commercial sites
throughout the City.
10. Property Suitability
The new zoning is suitable and appropriate for the subject property. The
project site is located within the Village Build Out Plan, and the zone
change allows the subject site to have more uses consistent with the

abuts existing apartment developments, is in close proximity to the
Cove, residential homes east of Washington Street, residential
communities on the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50,
and residential communities north and south of Avenue 52, including
future residential community at SilverRock. The property would be
similar in purpose and size to other Community Commercial sites
throughout the City.
11. Change in Circumstances.
Approval of the zone map change is warranted because the situation
and the general conditions of the property have substantially changed
since the existing zoning was imposed. The existing zoning was imposed
in 1991. Since that time, the areas surrounding the subject site have
developed into multiple residential neighborhoods and the nearby
Village Commercial district has developed. The project site is located
within the Village Build Out Plan, and the zone change allows the subject
site to have more uses consistent with the surrounding Village
Commercial district. The new zoning district is intended to meet the
needs of a multi-neighborhood area, whereas the current zoning district
is intended to serve a singular neighborhood area. The project site is
located in an area that does serve multiple neighborhoods as it is in
close proximity to the Cove, residential homes east of Washington
Street, residential communities on the intersection of Washington Street
and Avenue 50, and residential communities north and south of Avenue
52, including future residential community at SilverRock. The property
would be similar in purpose and size to other Community Commercial
sites throughout the City.
Variance 2019-0001
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings
pursuant to Section 9.210.030 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify
approval of said Variance
12. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of General Commercial. The City’s General Plan policies
relating to General Commercial encourage a full range of commercial

uses within the City, and the proposed use maintains those policies. The
proposed project is consistent with the following Goals, Programs, and
Policies:
• Goal LU-6 and ED-1 as it will contribute to a balanced and
varied economic base which provides fiscal stability to the City
and provide a broad range of goods and services to its residents
and region.
• Goal LU-2 as the project consists of high quality design that
complements and enhances the City. The design of project
incorporates existing architectural style within commercial
center but enhances it with modern architectural elements as
well as stone veneer and wooden trellis.
• Program CIR-1.12.a: Locate land uses that provide jobs and
housing near each other to allow the use of alternative modes
of travel and produce shorter work commutes. The project
will be developed with access to existing Villa Cortina
Apartments and Seasons residential development, providing
an opportunity for jobs and housing near each other. Housing
developments are also to the south, west and east of the
project site.
• Policy CIR-1.16 which states to continue to implement the
Image Corridor treatments throughout the City. This project
maintains a height under 22 feet within the first 150 feet from
Washington Street, an image corridor, which is consistent with
the Image Corridor standards.
• Policy ED-1.2 as it will support and assist in the retention of
existing businesses and the recruitment of new businesses.
This proposal is for the retention of an existing Starbucks to
construct a new building within the same shopping center.
• Policy ED-1.5 which states projects proposed on commercial
land shall be evaluated for their job creating and revenue
generating potential. This project’s scope and operations will
create jobs and lead to annual sales tax and generate transit
occupancy tax revenue for the City.
13. Consistency with Zoning Code
The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the
development standards of the City’s Zoning Code and the purpose and
intent of the Community Commercial District. The Community
Planning Commission Resolution 2019-011

Commercial district is intended to meet the needs of a multi-
neighborhood area. The project site is located in an area that does serve
multiple neighborhoods as it abuts existing apartment developments, is
in close proximity to the Cove, residential homes east of Washington
Street, residential communities on the intersection of Washington Street
and Avenue 50, and residential communities north and south of Avenue
52, including future residential community at SilverRock.
14. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The Design and Development Department has determined that the
proposed project is consistent with the mitigated negative declaration
approved for Plot Plan 91-456 and Environmental Assessment 91-187
and approved on April 16, 1991. As mentioned, the original approval
approved a shopping center under a 116,600 square foot of commercial
space build out. Subsequent amendments lowered this to 79,333
square feet, which is how it currently exists. This proposal increases
the square footage to 82,823, which is still well under the original
116,600 square feet analyzed by the original environmental
assessment.
15. Surrounding Uses
As conditioned, approval of the application will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare
or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the
vicinity.
16. Special Circumstances
There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property,
including size, shape, location and surrounding, which, when the zoning
regulations are strictly applied, deprive the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity subject to the same zoning
regulated. Special circumstances exist with the parcel and building
shape, location, and surrounding existing building and facilities that
require the proposed location to be the most feasible. Special
circumstances exist with the parcel shape, location, and surrounding
existing buildings and infrastructure that make it difficult to orient the
building to meet distance and exit queuing standards. The building site
is located within a narrow portion of a larger parcel and other
orientations of the building were not feasible. This proposal is for an

existing Starbucks within the Center to now open a new building within
same shopping center but not adhere to the following drive-through
standards:
- No drive-through facility shall be permitted within two hundred
feet of any residentially zoned or used property. The applicant
proposes to be 170 feet away.
- Exits from drive-through facilities shall be at least three
vehicles in length. The applicant proposes to be one vehicle
in length
All other La Quinta Municipal Code development standards were met.
Other orientations of the building were attempted but made quite
difficult due to the limited configuration of the project parcel and location
of existing buildings and infrastructure within the shopping center. The
building site is located within a narrow portion of a larger parcel and
other orientations of the building were not feasible.
17. Preservation of Property Rights
The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation of a
substantial property right possessed by other property in the same
vicinity and zoning district and otherwise denied to the subject property.
18. No Special Privileges
The conditions of approval assure that the adjustment authorized will
not constitute a grant of special privileges which are inconsistent with
the limitations placed upon other properties in the vicinity subject to the
same zoning regulations.
19. No Land Use Variance
The approval does not authorize a land use or activity which is not
permitted in the applicable zoning district. The applicant is proposing a
zone change to Community Commercial which allows for drive through
facility.
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 constitute the Findings of
the Planning Commission in this case.

VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATION
STATEMENT OF FINDINGS
Surrounding Uses. Why will approval of the variance not create conditions materially detrimental to the
public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties of land uses
in the vicinity?
Distance to Residential Zone: The proposed Starbucks drive-thru within the La Quinta Village Shopping Center
is 170 feet east of a residential zone. There is a major arterial road, Washington Street, between the Starbucks
drive-thru and residential zone, as well as, two screen walls (one on the residential side, one on the shopping
center side). In efforts to provide additional screening for the drive-thru, the interior side of the Washington
Street screen wall will be lined with landscape (bushes and shrubbery). The drive-thru will not impact the
residential zone with any more noise than what is already omitted by the major arterial.
Currently there are fourteen (14) businesses in operation within the La Quinta Village Shopping center, uses
ranging from restaurant, dry cleaners, bank and salons, none of which cause harm to the surrounding
residential zone. The proposed Starbucks drive-thru is a relocation of the current Starbucks in La Quinta Village
Shopping center located directly north of the proposed new location.
Drive-Thru Exit Vehicle Count: The La Quinta Municipal Code requires “3 car vehicle stack at the exit of the
drive-thru.” The proposed Starbucks currently shows a nine (9) car queue length and allows for one (1) vehicle
space between the pick-up window and the exit of the drive-through. The drive-thru is located within the La
Quinta Village Shopping Center and does not exit onto an arterial road. There is a one hundred thirty-eight
(138) feet of stacking room from the exit of the drive-through to the egress onto Washington St. This distance
allows for about 7 cars from drive-thru exit to major arterial egress out of the shopping center. With the
Starbucks being within a shopping center and having one hundred thirty-eight (138) additional feet of drive
aisle to exit the drive-thru, there is no anticipation for stacking at the exit of the drive-thru.
Special Circumstances. What special circumstances are applicable to the subject property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, which, when the zoning regulations are strictly applied,
deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity subject to the same zoning
regulations?
In order for the La Quinta Village Shopping Center to have a drive-thru Starbucks, a brand-new building needs
to be erected. Due to the existing orientation of the shopping center and the current parcel configuration,
there was only one location that would fit a 2,675 SF building with patio and drive-through. The proposed site
falls within the same parcel as the old Ralph’s and parking lot that serves the majority of the center. This
parcel within the development, makes different orientations of the proposed building quite difficult. In order
ATTACHMENT 5
61
2 of 3
5070 N 40th St #210, Phoenix, AZ 85018
to maximize the site and meet all major code requirements, the current site plan is the best option. Any other
site plan would have resulted in a shorter drive-thru queue, a smaller building, poor circulation or simply a
vacant lot.
Although the drive-through falls 30 feet short of the 200-foot residential zone requirement, we feel that this
will have no impact on the surrounding residential zones. As mentioned previously, Washington Street, which
is a major arterial road with 2-way traffic, falls between the shopping center and residential zone along with
two (2) screen walls. Because the drive-through is within a shopping center, we do not anticipate any drive-
through stacking flowing onto the major arterial. To be more specific, there is a one hundred thirty-eight (138)
feet distance from the exit of the drive-through to Washington Street.
Preservation of Property Rights: Why is granting of the variance necessary for preservation of a substantial
property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zoning district and otherwise denied to
the subject property?
Distance to Residential Zone: As previously stated, the proposed Starbucks drive-thru is a relocation of the
Starbucks that is currently operating within the La Quinta Village Shopping Center. The proposed location for
the Starbucks drive-thru is limited on building orientation and drive-thru configuration. The site plan we are
proposing, meets all major code requirements while maximizing the space. With this proposed configuration,
the drive thru lane falls 170 feet east of a residential zone, 30 feet short of the 200-foot requirement. In order
to relocate the Starbucks within the same shopping center, we will need this variance. If the variance is
denied, there is no other site plan option that works to meet all other code requirements.
Drive-Thru Exit Vehicle Count: When configuring a drive-thru, there are several requirements the architect
needs to comply with not only from a City code standpoint, but also from a Starbucks requirement standpoint.
The ultimate goal is to have the longest queue the site can provide to prevent stacking into main drive aisles
and arterial roads. This proposed queue provides a nine (9) car stack with room for ten (10) additional cars
before stacking into the main drive aisle within the shopping center. In addition, Starbucks requires a six (6)
car stack from order point to pick-up window. The La Quinta Municipal Code 9.100.270G states “Exits from
drive-through facilities shall be at least three vehicles length, shall have adequate sight-distance, and shall
connect to either a signalized entry or shall be limited to right turns only.” Due to the configuration of the
building, the pick-up window is based on the interior engine layout and back of house. With being such a small
building with limited orientation, this is the best site plan option.
No Special Privileges: How will the variance not constitute a grant of special privileges which is inconsistent
with the limitations placed upon other properties in the vicinity subject to the same zoning regulations?
The La Quinta Village Shopping Center is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial. In order to provide for
the development and regulation of medium to large scale commercial areas located at the intersections of
62
3 of 3
5070 N 40th St #210, Phoenix, AZ 85018
arterial highways as shown on the general plan, the La Quinta Village Shopping Center will be rezoned to
Community Commercial. The Community Commercial district is intended to provide for the sale of general
merchandise, hardware and building materials, food, drugs, sundries, personal services and similar goods and
services to meet the needs of a multi-neighborhood area. Rezoning the shopping center to Community
Commercial will allow for a broader range of proposed uses for future tenants as well.
All tenants and property owners have been notified of the centers rezoning via registered mail and have
provided signatures in return. The rezoning will have no effect on current tenants and/or owners. In efforts to
keep the residential neighbors informed, we will be hosting a neighborhood meeting prior to any public
hearings. We plan to schedule a neighborhood meeting for late October/early November. The variance we are
applying for is due to the requirement of the drive-thru needing to be 200 ft. away from a Residential Zone, as
well as, the exit of the drive-through be at least three vehicles length. Neither of these variances will affect the
Residential Zone.
No Land Use Variance: Would the request authorize a land use or activity not permitted in the applicable
zoning district? If so, it cannot be approved.
The La Quinta Village Shopping Center is being rezoned to Community Commercial which allows the use of a
drive-thru restaurant.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 21, 2019
TO: Bryan McKinney, City of La Quinta Engineer
FROM: Dean Arizabal, LSA
SUBJECT: La Quinta Starbucks – Focused Traffic Impact Analysis
LSA is pleased to present this Focused Traffic Impact Analysis memorandum for the proposed
Starbucks at the La Quinta Village Shopping Center in La Quinta, California (project). The purpose of
this analysis is to disclose the potential traffic‐related impacts of this project on the surrounding
roadway network. To assess the effects of the project on the existing circulation system, LSA has
conducted an analysis consistent with the City of La Quinta (City) Engineering Bulletin 06‐13 for
Traffic Impact Study Guidelines (July 23, 2015) and the Traffic Impact Analysis Scope (approved by
the City on May 28, 2019).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes the relocation of the existing Starbucks at the La Quinta Village
Shopping Center to a new facility just south and across an internal drive aisle within the same
shopping center. In addition to the relocation, the new Starbucks would have a drive‐through (the
current Starbucks does not have a drive‐through). Figure 1 shows the site plan. All figures are
provided in Attachment A.
The proposed project is within the La Quinta Village Shopping Center at the northwest corner of the
intersection of Washington Drive/Calle Tampico. The retail center is bound by residential uses to the
north and west, Calle Tampico and the La Quinta Civic Center to the south, and Washington Drive
and residential uses to the east.
METHODOLOGY
Study Area
Per the City‐approved scope, the project study area consists of the following locations:
Intersections
1.Washington Street/Full‐Access Driveway
2.Washington Street/Right‐In, Right‐Out (RIRO) Driveway
3.Washington Street/Calle Tampico
4.Full‐Access Driveway/Calle Tampico

Roadway Segments
1. Washington Street north of Calle Tampico
2. Calle Tampico west of Washington Street
Based on discussion with City staff, Calle Tampico west of Washington Street (study area roadway
segment 2) will be revised from its current four-lane Primary classification (two eastbound and two
westbound through lanes) to a two-lane Modified Secondary roadway (one eastbound and one
westbound through lane). As a result of this roadway revision, the two eastbound and two
westbound through lanes will be reduced to one through lane in each direction at the Full-Access
Driveway/Calle Tampico (study area intersection 4). City staff has indicated that the Calle Tampico
road diet will soon be underway and is anticipated to be completed by Winter 2019. As such, these
circulation changes have been assumed under existing conditions for purposes of this analysis.
Figure 2 illustrates the project location with the study area intersections, roadways, and geometrics
(including the Calle Tampico road diet).
Intersection Level of Service Methodology
In accordance with the City’s Engineering Bulletin 06-13, the study area intersections were analyzed
using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 methodology. The Synchro 10 computer software
was used to determine the level of service (LOS) based on the existing intersection geometries. The
HCM worksheets are provided in Attachment B.
The HCM methodology calculates the average delay experienced by all vehicles at an intersection.
The resulting calculation of average delay experienced by vehicles at the intersection is then used to
determine the LOS at that location. LOS A represents free-flow activity, and LOS F represents
overcapacity operation. LOS is a qualitative assessment of the quantitative effects of such factors as
traffic volume, roadway geometrics, speed, delay, and maneuverability on roadway and intersection
operations. The relationship between LOS and the delay (in seconds) at intersections is as follows:
Level of Service
Delay in Seconds
(Signalized)
Delay in Seconds
(Unsignalized)
A < 10.0 < 10.0
B > 10.0 and < 20.0 > 10.0 and < 15.0
C > 20.0 and < 35.0 > 15.0 and < 25.0
D > 35.0 and < 55.0 > 25.0 and < 35.0
E > 55.0 and < 80.0 > 35.0 and < 50.0
F > 80.0 > 50.0
Source: Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2017)
Roadway Analysis Methodology
The study area roadway segments were assessed using a volume-to-capacity (v/c) analysis. The
existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes are divided by the City’s maximum daily capacities to
calculate the v/c ratio. The maximum daily capacity of a roadway is dependent on its classification.
92
8/9/19 (P:\LQI1901\doc\traffic analysis memo2.docx) 3
The following table shows the roadway capacity standards as stated in the City’s Engineering
Bulletin 06-13.
Classification Lane Configuration
Average Daily Traffic Capacity
Level of Service E
Major 6 lanes, divided 61,100
Modified Secondary 2 lanes, divided 19,000
Primary 4 lanes, divided 42,600
Source: City of La Quinta Engineering Bulletin 06-13 (City of La Quinta 2015).
Performance Criteria
The City considers LOS D to be the recognized standard for all intersections and roadway segments.
A significant project impact for a signalized intersection is defined by an increase of 2 seconds of
delay to a signalized intersection operating at LOS E or an increase of 1 second of delay to a
signalized intersection operating at LOS F. A significant project impact for an unsignalized
intersection is defined by an increase of 3 seconds of delay or more for any movement at a two-way
stop-controlled intersection operating at LOS E or F. A significant project impact for a roadway
segment is defined by an increase of 0.02 or more to the v/c ratio of a roadway segment operating
at LOS E or F. If there is a significant project impact, mitigation measures must be identified.
PROJECT TRAFFIC
Trip Generation
In accordance with the City’s Engineering Bulletin 06-13, trip rates from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition (2017) were used to generate
daily, a.m. peak-hour, and p.m. peak-hour trips for the proposed project. In addition, a pass-by trip
reduction (50 percent) has been applied to the project based on the ITE Trip Generation Handbook,
3rd Edition (2017). Pass-by trips are made by drivers already on an adjacent/nearby roadway and
therefore are not additive trips (e.g., stopped by the coffee shop on the way to work from home or
vice versa).Table A summarizes the project trip generation.
As shown in Table A, the project is expected to generate 48 net new trips (24 inbound and 24
outbound) during the a.m. peak hour and 34 net new trips (18 inbound and 16 outbound) during the
p.m. peak hour. It should be noted that the ITE Trip Generation Manual does not have trip rates for
a coffee shop without drive-through (e.g., existing Starbucks to be removed). As such, the net new
daily trips of 1,144 ADT have been assumed for purposes of this analysis.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
Trip distribution defines the regional percentage origins/destinations for a project. Based on the
project’s location, project trips were distributed 20 percent north via Washington Street, 20 percent
south via Washington Street, 10 percent east via Calle Tampico, and 50 percent west via Calle
Tampico. Figures 3 and 4 show the project trip distribution and assignment, respectively.
EXISTING AND EXISTING PLUS PROJECT LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Traffic Volumes
In order to establish existing conditions, an independent traffic count company (Counts Unlimited)
conducted traffic counts at the study area intersections and roadway segments. Intersection
turning-movement volumes for the study area intersections were collected on Thursday, May 30,
2019, during the a.m. peak hour (between 6:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.) and the p.m. peak hour
(between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.). The 24-hour ADT volumes were collected the same day at the
study area roadway segments. All existing traffic counts are provided in Attachment C.
La Quinta historically experiences variations in seasonal population. Per the City’s Engineering
Bulletin 06-13, traffic counts conducted in May are increased by 10 percent to account for these
cyclical fluctuations. As such, the existing peak-hour and ADT counts conducted in May 2019 have
been increased by 10 percent for purposes of this analysis. Figure 5 illustrates the existing
intersection volumes (including the 10 percent adjustment). The existing plus project volumes at the
study area locations were calculated by adding project trips to the existing traffic volumes. Figure 6
illustrates the existing plus project intersection volumes.

Intersection Level of Service
Table B presents the results of the peak-hour LOS analysis of the study area intersections. As this
table indicates, all study area intersections currently operate at satisfactory LOS. With the
implementation of the proposed project, all study area intersections are expected to continue
operating at satisfactory LOS. Therefore, the project can be implemented under existing conditions
with no significant peak-hour intersection impacts.

DRIVE-THROUGH QUEUING ANALYSIS
The proposed Starbucks drive-through queuing storage was evaluated to ensure potential queues
would not spillback onto public streets. LSA reviewed existing queuing data of a Starbucks drive-
through in Lake Forest, California to determine the potential for stacking at the proposed Starbucks
drive-through within the La Quinta Village Shopping Center, provided in Attachment D. Based on this
information, a maximum queue of 12 vehicles was identified during the morning commute periods
between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
As shown on Figure 7, the proposed Starbucks drive-through lane would provide enough distance
for nine vehicles between the service window and the parking lot (six vehicles between the service
window and the order board and three vehicles between the order board and the entrance of the
drive-through lane). An additional eight vehicles (17 total vehicles) could be accommodated before
vehicles would queue onto the main drive aisle, but would block five parking spaces within the
parking lot parallel to Washington Street. Appropriate signage will be provided on site to direct
customers through the southern drive aisle to the new drive-through.
If the maximum observed queue of 12 vehicles were to occur at the project site, the drive-through
storage area of nine vehicles could be exceeded by three vehicles during the periods of peak
demand. Vehicles 10, 11, and 12 would block only four parking spaces along the internal row of
surface parking adjacent to Washington Street. Although four parking spaces may not be accessible
during the morning peak periods of Starbucks drive-through demand, the maximum queue would be
contained within the parking lot and would not impede traffic along the main drive aisle of the
shopping center or the public streets.
Furthermore, exiting vehicles wishing to leave via Washington Avenue turn right and have 138 feet
of stacking prior to the public right-of-way. Adequate sight distance is provided at the service exit
and throughout the La Quinta Village Shopping Center leading out to Washington Avenue. The exit
at Washington Avenue is a right-turn only driveway.
CONCLUSION
Based on this analysis, the proposed project is not expected to significantly impact the surrounding
roadway network or the internal circulation system.
