3. The design of Tentative Parcel Map 2023-0001 is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat. The Design and Development Department prepared
Environmental Assessment (EA) 2023-0001, in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The
Design and Development Department has determined that although the
proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect because mitigation measures have been
incorporated.
4. The design of Tentative Parcel Map 2023-0001 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 City's Subdivision Regulations Code and the La Quinta Zoning
Ordinance, including but not limited to, minimum lot area requirements, any
other applicable provisions of Title 9 of the City's Zoning 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.
MINOR USE PERMIT 2023-0001
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony

1. The proposed height adjustment is consistent with the General Plan in that
the adjustment doesn't exceed the height of the underlying zone and the
request follows the provisions in the zoning code. The height adjustment is
proposed for a maximum of four feet above the Image Corridor height limit
of 22 ft. and will not be detrimental to or conflict with the intent of the Image
Corridors in the General Plan. Additionally, the proposed car wash use is
consistent with the General Plan designation of General Commercial, which
allows for a full range of commercial uses including auto -oriented service
businesses such as car washes.
2. The proposed height adjustment is consistent with the provisions of this
zoning code in that the adjustment doesn't exceed the height of the
underlying zone and the request follows the provisions in the zoning code.
Additionally, the proposed car wash use is consistent with the purpose and
intent of the Regional Commercial zone to provide for a broad range of
goods and services including automobile -oriented services such as car
washes.
3. Processing and approval of the Minor Use Permit are in compliance with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Design
and Development Department prepared Environmental Assessment (EA)
2023-0001, in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Design and Development
Department has determined that although the proposed project could have
a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect
because mitigation measures have been incorporated.
4. Approval of the Minor Use Permit 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. The proposed
buildings are typical commercial buildings which are shorter or equal to the
height of the surrounding commercial buildings. The proposed car wash is
compatible with other commercial properties within the area.
SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 2023-0003

1. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of General Commercial, which provides for a full range of
commercial uses including car washes and restaurants. The proposed project
is consistent with and would not frustrate the Goals and Policies of the General
Plan as follows:
a. 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.
b. 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 along all frontages of the
project to connect to existing and proposed developments.
c. 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. The proposed development, as conditioned, is consistent with the purpose and
intent of the Regional Commercial District as well as the development
standards of the City's Zoning Code. The project satisfies the District's intent
to provide for automobile -oriented sales and services for the regionally oriented
commercial area along Highway 111. The project is consistent with the non-
residential development standards.
3. The Design and Development Department prepared Environmental
Assessment (EA) 2023-0001, in compliance with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Design and Development
Department has determined that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect
because mitigation measures have been incorporated.
4. 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 compatible with surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the city.
5. 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. 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 and screen undesirable views. 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.
MINOR ADJUSTMENT 2023-0001
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 to justify approval of said Minor
Adjustment:
1. The proposed setback adjustment is consistent with the general plan goals and
policies and land use designation. The setback adjustment is minor in nature
and would not be detrimental to the goals and policies governing the area.
2. The proposed setback adjustment is consistent with the intent of the zoning
code. Minor adjustments of 10% or less are allowed in the zoning code. This
adjustment is for a three-foot (6%) reduction of the 50 ft. setback from the
property line along Highway 111. The building placement is still 50 ft. from the
roadway.
3. Processing and approval of the Minor Adjustment are in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Design and
Development Department prepared Environmental Assessment (EA) 2023-
0001, in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The Design and Development Department has determined
that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect because mitigation measures
have been incorporated.
4. Approval of the Minor Use Permit 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. The proposed
buildings are typical commercial buildings which are similar to other commercial
buildings in the area.
