Specific Plan (Amendment) 2017-0002
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said City Council, having great deference in interpreting the project’s
consistency with General Plan Goals and Policies, knowing that it is nearly
impossible for a project to be in perfect conformity with each and every
General Plan Goal and Policy (Sierra Club v. County of Napa (2004) 121
Cal.App.4th 1490, 1510-1511), did make the following mandatory findings
pursuant to Section 9.240.010 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify
approval of said Specific Plan:
1. Consistency with General Plan
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals
and policies of the La Quinta General Plan in that it will result in the
development of an approximate 125,800 sq. ft. shopping center
which is permitted in the General Commercial land use designation.
The proposed project is consistent with and would not frustrate the
Goals and Policies of the General Plan as follows:
Goals LU-6 and ED-1 as it will contribute to a balanced and
varied economic base which provides fiscal stability to the City,
and a broad range of goods and services to its residents and
the region.
Policy LU-2.2 which requires Specific Plans for projects
proposing flexible development standards that differ from the
Zoning Ordinance. This project proposes variations from
several development standards; therefore, a Specific Plan is
appropriate for the project.
Policy CIR-1.12 to reduce vehicular traffic on major roadways
and to reduce vehicle miles traveled by traffic originating in the
City by the development of a land use pattern that maximizes
interactions between adjacent or nearby land uses. This project
proposes a shopping center near residences which would
provide jobs near housing and provide goods and services near
residences to shorten vehicle miles traveled.

Project: Pavilion Palms Shopping Center
Adopted: March 2, 2021
Page 4 of 12
Policy CIR-2.3 to develop and encourage the use of continuous
and convenient pedestrian and bicycle routes and multi-use
paths to places of employment, recreation, shopping, schools,
and other high activity areas by providing sidewalks on Avenue
50 and Jefferson Street along the project’s frontage as well as
walkable areas within the project site.
Policy SC-1.6 to expand the City’s alternative transportation
network by providing sidewalks along Avenue 50 and Jefferson
Street to connect gaps in the City’s sidewalk system.
Program PR-1.8.c: to promote and improve public access to
farmers markets and grocery stores that sell fresh produce and
healthy foods with the establishment of a supermarket at the
site.
Policy AQ-1.6 which states that proposed development air
quality emissions of criteria pollutants shall be analyzed under
CEQA. The project’s MND analyzed these and determined that
mitigation measures would reduce impacts to less than
significant levels.
Policy BIO-1.2 which states that site-specific, species-specific
surveys shall be required for species not covered by the
MSHCP. The project’s MND includes mitigation that requires
pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl, which is not a
covered species under the MSHCP.
GOAL CUL-1 which supports protection of significant
archaeological, historic and paleontological resources which
occur in the City. The project’s MND includes mitigation
measures to include a tribal monitor during ground disturbing
activities.
GOAL N-1 which supports a healthful noise environment which
complements the City’s residential and resort character. The
project’s MND includes mitigation measures to reduce noise
impacts to less than significant levels.

Project: Pavilion Palms Shopping Center
Adopted: March 2, 2021
Page 5 of 12
GOAL GEO-1 which supports the protection of the residents’
health and safety, and of their property, from geologic and
seismic hazards. The project’s MND determined that with
implementation of required building and seismic code
standards, the project would have a less than significant impact
on geological resources.
Policy FH-1.3 which states that the City shall continue to
implement development standards that provide for a reduction
in runoff from developed lands and are consistent with local
and regional stormwater management plans. The project is
consistent with this policy since underground retention will be
provided that will contain the 100-year storm for the site.
Policy PF-1.3 which states that the City shall identify all viable
financing mechanisms for the funding of construction,
maintenance and operation of municipal facilities. The project
will be required to pay development impact fees which is a
funding mechanism for municipal facilities and public services.
The project conceptual landscape design is consistent with Goal
WR-1 and Policy UTL-1.2 as it will result in the efficient use and
conservation of the City’s water resources.
2. Public Welfare
Approval of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment will not create
conditions materially detrimental to public health, safety and general
welfare. The Design and Development Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 2017-0006 for this project, in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The Design and Development Director has determined that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project
proponent and mitigation measures have been incorporated.
3. Land Use Compatibility
The proposed Specific Plan incorporates a land use that is compatible
with zoning on adjacent properties. The property will continue to be
zoned as Community Commercial which is intended to provide for the
Council Resolution No. 2021 - 006
Specific Plan 2017-0002; Tentative Parcel Map 2017-0003 (TPM 37370); Site Development Permit 2017-0009

Page 6 of 12
sale of general merchandise, hardware and building materials, food,
drugs, sundries, personal services and similar goods and services to
meet the needs of multi-neighborhood area. The proposed shopping
center would result in a floor area ratio of 0.23, which is below the
allowed 0.30 floor area ratio in the Community Commercial zone.
4. Property Suitability
The uses permitted in the Specific Plan are suitable and appropriate
for the subject property in that the site is relatively flat, vacant, and
the area can be served by all necessary public services and utilities.
The proposed project is located at the intersection of arterial streets
and provides convenience to goods and services to residential
neighborhoods in the vicinity.
Tentative Parcel Map 2017-0003
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, the City Council did make the following mandatory findings to justify
approval of said Tentative Tract Map:
1. Tentative Parcel Map 37370 is consistent with the La Quinta General
Plan, and Specific Plan 2017-0002 as proposed. The Tentative Parcel
Map is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation
as set forth in the General Plan, and as set forth in Specific Plan 2017-
0002.
2. The design and improvement of Tentative Parcel Map 37370 is
consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, and Specific Plan 2017-
0002 with the implementation of recommended conditions of

3. The design of Tentative Parcel Map 37370 and proposed
improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage, nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat. The Design and Development Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 2017-0006 for this project, in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The Design and Development Director has determined that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
Council Resolution No. 2021 - 006
Specific Plan 2017-0002; Tentative Parcel Map 2017-0003 (TPM 37370); Site Development Permit 2017-0009

Page 7 of 12
environment, there will not be a significant effect because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project
proponent and mitigation measures have been incorporated.
4. The design of Tentative Parcel Map 37370 and type of improvements
are not likely to cause serious public health problems, insofar as the
project will be required to comply with all laws, standards and
requirements associated with sanitary sewer collection, water quality
and other public health issues.
5. The site of the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the type
of development and proposed density of development given the site’s
location at the corner of two arterial roadways and the site is
relatively flat, vacant, and can be served by all necessary public
services and utilities.
6. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions
of Title 13 of the La Quinta Municipal Code and the La Quinta Zoning
Ordinance, including, but not limited to, minimum lot area
requirements, any other applicable provisions of the code, and the
Subdivision Map Act.
7. The design and improvements required for Tentative Parcel Map
37370 will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at
large, for access through or use of the property. All roadway
improvements, easements, if any and surrounding improvements will
be completed to City standards.
Site Development Permit 2017-0009
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said City Council, having great deference in interpreting the project’s
consistency with General Plan Goals and Policies, knowing that it is nearly
impossible for a project to be in perfect conformity with each and every

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 shopping centers
in the City, and the proposed use maintains those policies. The
proposed project is consistent with and would not frustrate the Goals
and Policies of the General Plan as follows:
Goals LU-6 and ED-1 as it will contribute to a balanced and
varied economic base which provides fiscal stability to the City,
and a broad range of goods and services to its residents and

The project conceptual landscape design is consistent with Goal
WR-1 and Policy UTL-1.2 as it will result in the efficient use and
conservation of the City’s water resources.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code
The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the
purpose and intent of the Community Commercial District as well as
the development standards of the City’s Zoning Code and Specific
Plan 2017-0002 in terms of architectural style and landscaping. The
project satisfies the District’s intent 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 multi-neighborhood area. The project is generally
consistent with the non-residential development standards and
permitted use table, except deviations that include requested
reductions from landscape setback standards, increased retail
building size, and allowance of automotive service station as a
permitted use. These development standard and land use deviations
may be approved with the Specific Plan Amendment.
3. Compliance with CEQA
The Design and Development Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 2017-0006 for this project, in compliance
with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The Design and Development Director has determined that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project
proponent and mitigation measures have been incorporated.
4. Architectural Design
The architectural design of the project, including, but not limited to,
the architectural style, scale, building mass, materials, colors,
architectural details, roof style and other architectural elements are
Council Resolution No. 2021 - 006

Page 11 of 12
compatible with surrounding development and with the quality of
design prevalent in the city.
5. Site Design
The site design of the project including, but not limited to, project
entries, interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian
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
Project landscaping, including, but not limited to, the location, type,
size, color, texture and coverage of plant materials, has been
designed so as to provide visual relief, complement buildings, visually
emphasize prominent design elements and vistas, screen undesirable
views, provide a harmonious transition between adjacent land uses
and between development and open space, and provide an overall
unifying influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project. 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
permanent overall site landscaping utilizes various tree and shrub
species to enhance the building architecture.
