CEQA: THE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REVIEWED
THE PROJECT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA). THE DEPARTMENT HAS
DETERMINED THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY
EXEMPT UNDER CEQA GUIDELINES 15301, MINOR
ALTERATIONS TO EXISTING FACILITIES.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Minor Use Permit 2020-0004.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Teserra, on behalf of the Owner, applied for a Building permit to construct
a new pool with associated equipment.
•The pool equipment was proposed to be installed within the five (5) foot
(ft) side yard setback. Proposing pool equipment within this setback
requires Planning Commission approval of a Minor Use Permit (MUP).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On June 9, 2020, the Applicant applied for a Pool Building permit to construct a
new pool and outdoor amenities, which included proposing pool equipment
within the side yard setback (Attachment 1). Per La Quinta Municipal Code
Section 9.60.075(C): “Mechanical equipment may be in a side yard of five feet
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
13
or less if: … (2) if approved by the planning commission through a minor use
permit if findings are made that extenuating circumstances exist”.
The Applicant is requesting approval for this equipment due to site configurations
and performance ability of the new units (Attachment 2). This performance
ability includes noise efficiency, including typical noise levels ranging from 31-
43 dB from 9 ft away when operational, well below the City’s noise standard.
The equipment is proposed to be set back four (4) feet from the west side
property line wall, and measures three (3) feet in height, eight (8) feet in length
running parallel to the house, and two (2) feet in width. The property line wall
between the equipment and the neighbor to the west is a six-foot-high masonry
block wall. The neighbor’s house is set back seven feet from the masonry block
wall (Attachment 3). The existing wall would help with noise attenuation.
City Building and Fire staff reviewed the proposed location and found the location
to be acceptable in providing adequate egress and emergency access, meanwhile
meeting all product specifications (Attachment 4). None of the bedrooms and
the emergency egress windows are in a location that would impede egress
through the egress court as affected by the new locations of the condenser units.
PUBLIC REVIEW
Per La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.60.075(C), notification was provided to
adjoining impacted property owner ten days prior to this meeting. No comments
have been received.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Design and Development Department has determined that the project is
categorically exempt under CEQA guidelines 15301 – Minor Alterations to
Existing Facilities.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF ITEM
TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Sijifredo Fernandez, Associate Planner
DATE: September 8, 2020
SUBJECT: REPORT ON AUGUST 2020 VILLAGE PARKING SURVEY
Efforts to improve the La Quinta Village as a destination for residents and
visitors are a City priority. The Village parking management program monitors
parking demand by conducting parking surveys for on-street and off-street
parking occupancy in peak season (January) and off-peak season (August).
This report is intended to update the Planning Commission on the August 2020
off-peak season survey (Survey) results.
There are 4,126 parking spaces available in the Village District (Attachment
1). Of these, 3,239 are off-street spaces, and 887 are on-street spaces. As a
note, 54 spaces were removed from the parking spaces available due to
construction of the new Starbucks along Washington and Tampico. Below are
the results from the Survey compared with previous surveys:
1The Village Core Zone is bounded by Avenida Navarro, Desert Club Drive, Calle Tampico, and Calle Estado
Given the current stay at home order and social distancing requirements,
executed by the Governor of California in response to the state of emergency
relating to novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the parking occupancy
rates are the lowest observed since we initiated tracking in 2016. However,
the village core area is still being utilized above 26 percent during peak times.
The parking occupancy results demonstrate that there is adequate parking
throughout the Village.

City of La Quinta
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF ITEM
TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
Carlos Flores, Senior Planner
September 8, 2020
WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS INVENTORY UPDATE
Wireless telecommunication facilities are governed by the requirements of
the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Chapter 9.170, Wireless
Telecommunication Facilities (facilities). New facilities require approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission and additions to
existing facilities require approval of a minor use permit by Director
Decision. Section 9.170.080 requires a ten-year review by the Planning
Commission and the Planning Commission previously requested for this to
be an annual occurence. The Planning Commission, in July 2017, July 2018,
and July 2019 received status reports of approved facilities in the City of La
Quinta for compliance with conditions of approval. Six facilities were out of
compliance during the 2017 report, one facility was out of compliance during
the 2018 report, and no facilities were out of compliance during the 2019
report.
A total of 19 facilities are constructed and currently operational (Attachment
1). Staff conducted a visual survey during the week of August 17, 2020 of
the facility locations and reviewed the condition of the facilities for
compliance with conditions of approval. These facilities may be subject to
revocation by the Planning Commission if the operation of the facilities is
inconsistent with the conditions of approval. One facility was observed to be
out of compliance with its CUP conditions of approval and has not had a final
building permit. Staff has made contact with the facility operator to inform
them of compliance issues and possible consequences. A summary of the
status of the 19 operational facilities is provided in the table below as well as
a detailed table in Attachment 2.
