A. The C-V (Commercial Village) Zone is a
plan-specific Zone. The adopted Village
Specific Plan (VSP)*, together with the
following sections of this C-V Zone (and all
other chapters and sections cited herein),
must be considered and used as if the VSP were
itself included in the text of the C-V Zone.
To avoid repetition and re-adoption of the
provisions of the VSP, the following chapters
..... of the Village Specific Plan should be
considered to be incorporated by reference in
the C-V Zone:

Chapter 5 "Development Guidelines Preamble"
Chapter 6 "Development Guidelines"
* SDecific Plan for the VillaGe at La Quinta,
California, adopted February 2, 1988, will be
referred to by the abbreviation "VSP".
B. All development proposed to be conducted in
the C-V Zone shall be designed and evaluated
according to the Village Specific Plan. The
C-V Zone provides the administrative framework
within which this Plan is to be implemented.
C. The regulations set out in this Chapter shall
apply generally throughout the C-V Zone. In
the respective Subzones, regulations providing
further development guidance shall apply in
each of the Subzone areas of C-V as set forth.
9.90.015 PURPOSE.
A. The Village is the "downtown" of La Quinta.
The Specific Plan for the Village at La Quinta
helps create the focused "sense of place" for
the continued evolution and development of
this downtown. The purpose of the C-V Zone is
to guide the development of the downtown in
keeping with the Village Specific Plan by
providing a structured variety for commercial
(and limited residential) land uses and
specific development standards. To capitalize
on the locational trends already established,
these land uses are arranged in particular
patterns, mixes, and configurations in
separate Subzones. To guide and support each
pattern of land uses, particular development
standards are also presented for each Subzone.
In a complementary fashion, the four Subzones
work together to establish an identifiable
"place" for the provision of goods, services
and housing. As a Commercial Zone, the
Village is designed to serve four particular
market segments: (1) residents of housing
within, adjacent to, and within a reasonable
distance of the Village; (2) residents and
guests of the larger La Quinta community; (3)
other commercial entities located within the
Village commercial area; and (4) tourists and
visitors to La Quinta.
B. In providing the goods, services, and housing,
oasis... (2) consistent with La Quinta's local
historic architectural vernacular... (3) at a
pedestrian scale... (4) with an arts theme.
9.90.020 PERMITTED USES.
A. Uses which may be permitted in the C-V Zone
are listed below, grouped into classes of
similar uses, with examples. In each Subzone,
the groups of uses specifically permitted in
that Subzone are cited, together with any
special expansions, exclusions, or
qualifications of uses which are necessary to
tailor the cited use group to the needs of
that particular Subzone. Only uses
specifically cited and/or modified for each
Subzone are permitted in that Subzone.
B. Examples are given for each group of uses to
indicate the intent of each group. Lists of
examples are not intended to be exhaustive.
Other uses essentially similar to the examples
should be considered permissible. However, a
proposed use (even if listed in the examples),
may be atypical in that it has a feature which
has an impact out of character with the other
uses listed, making the use also akin to
another use group. Such atypical (or hybrid)
uses shall be interpreted by the procedure
described in C., below. The standard to be
applied to such interpretations shall be as
follows: a preponderance of similarities
notwithstanding, one major difference, causin~
an impact not in keeping with the rest of the
uses in the group, shall be sufficient to
cause a proposed use to be classified with
another use group having similar impacts.
C. Interpretations shall be made by the Planning
Director, in Administrative Hearing, subject
to appeal to the Planning Commission.

of development in the C-V Zone-
A. There is no minimum lot area requirement,
unless specifically required by a Subzone
classification for a particular area, or
another Zone to which compliance is required.
However, the smallness of a lot, the lack of
available square footage, or an insufficient
lot width or depth shall not be an acceptable
rationale (in and of itself) for any waiver of
minimum requirements of development standards.
B. Yard (setback) requirements are set forth for
each Subzone.
1. The front setback shall be measured from
the ultimate planned right-of-way line.
The rear setback shall be measured from
the existing rear lot line or from any
recorded alley or easement; if the rear
line adjoins a street, the rear setback
requirement shall be the same as
required for a front setback. Each
exterior side setback shall be measured
from the ultimate planned right-of-way
line.
2. The setback line shall be considered a
vertical plane from finish ~rade
upward. No solid portion of a
structure, eave. fa~ad~ _ ~~~ ~ ~,~
489
-- penetrate the setback line plane. In
the separate Subzones, references to the
placement of the building with respect
to a setback line shall be interpreted
as meaning the furthest projection of
any solid portion of the building (e.g.,
eave line or facade, depending on the
architectural type of building
involved). In the Core and Park
Subzones, setbacks will be stated for
the structure as a whole, with a further
~ setback requirement applying only to the
~ ground floor.
O C. All buildings and structures shall not exceed
~ the height specified for a Subzone or referred
~1~ Zone.

minimum sight distance of 1,320 feet. Ail
mechanical equipment shall be screened from
the view of ground elevations, and from the
view of second story windows where possible.
F. Architectural treatment and detail shall be
carried out completely around structures so
that all visible faces are equivalent in
appearance. Structures on properties facing
two streets, such as at a corner or on
through-lot properties, shall provide
equivalent displays, display windows, and
signage on all street faces. Blank walls
shall not be permitted facing exterior lot
lines, at the rear of a structure, or facing
interior lot lines where the wall will be
visible. Interior lot line side walls which
do not immediately abut another building's
side wall shall be provided architectural
enhancement and detail (consistent with
building and fire codes) for relief of blank
walls. The sides of structures facing alleys
shall be given architectural treatment and
G. Landscaping. Each property on which there is
proposed a new or remodeled structure or
parking facility shall prepare and submit for
design review a landscape plan. Landscaping
shall be installed and maintained pursuant to
the approved plan. (See VSP, Sections 4.8 and
6.3.1, Table 6-1.) Design standards shall
establish a minimum of the site to be
landscaped. Effective irrigation systems
shall be installed and maintained so that
landscaping remains in a healthy growing
condition and in compliance with the approved
plan.
H. A minimum 20-foot building setback shall be
required on any boundary where the commercial
property abuts a residentially-zoned
property. Ten feet of the setback shall be
landscaped unless a tree screen is included,
wherein the landscaping may be reduced to five
feet. The balance of the setback may be used
for automobile parking, driveways, or
landscaping. Block walls, or other
appropriate fencing, may also be required.
I. Shade structures over parking or pedestrian
walkways (including any overhangs) shall be
set back at least five feet from any alley,
and at least three feet from any property line
(unless such structures comply with the
requirements of a totally non-combustible
structure, in which case the setback from the
property line may be zero).
J. Ail outside storage, and all solid waste,
loading and servicing areas, shall be screened
by structures and/or landscaping and located
to minimize noise or odor nuisance. Solid
waste areas, if not screened by the building,
shall be screened with an opaque six-foot high

~ 6.1.1 and following Sections and Figure
~ 4-7.)
~ a. In the South Subzone, the intent
of pedestrian provisions is
different from other Subzones.
North/south walkways along
Bermudas and Desert Club and
north/south mid-block walkways
function to link pedestrian
movements from the Core to the
-- South areas. However, east/west
walkways are not intended to
foster pedestrian circulation
adjacent to the streets. Rather,
a series of separate, non-
continuous links from property to
property shall provide a
meandering pedestrian route away
from street side.
b. On north/south streets, along the
street faces of each lot, a
pedestrian walkway easement shall
be provided, a minimum six feet in
width, either adjacent to the

running north/south ( minimum
d. On east/west streets, each
property shall provide a
pedestrian walkway easement from
its structural entrance to each
adjacent side property, driveway,
or to a north/south walkway.
Walkways shall be placed so that
at no point do they come closer
than four feet from the edge of
the street, to discourage
on-street parking or unloading.
The point'at which the walkway
easement meets the side property
line shall be set back from the
ultimate right-of-way line by a
minimum of 10 feet (measured to
the edge of the easement nearest
the street). Adjacent properties
shall coordinate the placement of
walkway easements so that they
relate where they meet at the
property line. Walkways shall be
a minimum of four feet in width.
e. Pedestrian walkways on east/west
streets, mid-block, and on the
west side of Desert Club and the
east side of Bermudas shall be
shaded for no less than 50 percent
of their area by approved
landscaping material providing a
range from 50 to 75 percent
blockage of direct overhead
sunlight at mid-summer, mid-day
within ten years of planting.
7. Landscaping. (See VSP Sections 4.8 and
6.3.1, and Table 6-1.)
a. The design theme for the
landscaping in the C-V-S "South"
Subzone is a continuation, to its
maximum design potential, of the
mature landscaping already
established. The landscaping
focus is the skyline. Large trees
with high canopies (in excess of
30 feet in height), providing lacy
shade, shall be the dominant
features.
