1.2 PURPOSE & INTENT
The purpose of this Specific Plan Amendment is to set forth the detailed development principles,
guidelines, and programs to facilitate the redevelopment of the existing Old Town La Quinta
project.
This Specific Plan is intended to meet the requirements for a Specific Plan as set forth in State
law. The State authorizes cities and counties to adopt Specific Plans as an appropriate tool in
implementing their General Plans. Such a plan is to include the detailed regulations, conditions,
programs, and any proposed legislation that is necessary for the systematic implementation of
the General Plan. The Specific Plan provides the linkage between the General Plan, the
general goals and policies of the City, and the detailed implementation of that plan with tools
such as zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances, and the like. The Government Code
(Section 65451) sets forth the minimum requirements of a Specific Plan and states:
A Specific Plan shall include a text and diagram or diagrams, which specify all of the following in
detail:
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 5
1. The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the
area covered by the plan.
2. The proposed distribution, location and extent and intensity of major components of
public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy,
and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan
and needed to support the land uses described by the plan.
3. Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the
conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
4. A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works
projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3)."
The Specific Plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the General
Plan. The establishment of specific performance, design, and development standards is set
forth to guide the development of the subject property in such a way as to implement the
General Plan while maintaining some flexibility to respond to changing conditions which may be
a factor in any long term development program. The document also acts to augment the City's
Zoning Ordinance by providing particular design guidelines, a tailored list of allowable,
conditionally allowable, and prohibited uses for the site, and unique development standards.
1.3 PROJECT LOCATION
Old Town La Quinta is located east of Avenida Bermudas, south of Calle Tampico, north of
Avenida La Fonda and west of Desert Club Drive. In addition, it includes two parking lots south
of Calle Tampico east of Desert Club Drive.
Calle Tampico is designated a Primary Arterial according to the City's General Plan. Property to
the north, across Calle Tampico between Avenida Bermudas and Desert Club Drive contains an
Embassy Suites Hotel with 145 rooms and 72-unit casitas, the Sandbar restaurant, a Circle K
and a Mexican market and vacant commercial pads. Both of the intersections are fully
signalized. To the west of Old Town are a City -owned paved parking lot, a thrift store, and two
vacant lots. To the south of Old Town, across Avenida La Fonda, is The Crab Pot, vacant lots,
and a liquor store. To the east of Old Town is City -owned vacant land and a Verizon facility.
1.4 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The site is flat and is developed with streets, buildings, landscaping, sidewalks, and parking lots.
There is one approximately 0.4 acre parcel at the corner of Calle Tampico and Bermudas, which
is a grass and dirt pad. Public streets surround the site.
1.5 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
The first phase and existing streets in Old Town were built in 2002-2003. The second phase
was completed in 2007. Old Town provides visitors with office space, a bank, restaurants, bars,
retail stores, salons, and services. It is a place for locals, snowbirds, and visitors to the Valley to
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 6
shop, stroll and dine. It also provides a location for a farmers market, Art Under the Umbrellas,
Taste of La Quinta, Fall Family Festival, and many other events utilizing the event lawn and
Main Street.
1.6 GENERAL PLAN & ZONING
Implementation of this Specific Plan is intended to carry out the goals and policies contained in
the General Plan of the City of La Quinta in a planned and orderly fashion. The site has a
designation of VC, Village Commercial. The Land Use Map of the 2013 General Plan for the
site is shown in Exhibit 2.
The property is already properly planned and zoned for the uses proposed. Exhibit 3 depicts
the zoning on the site and the surrounding parcels. The City of La Quinta requires a Village Use
Permit or Specific Plan to establish an overall master development plan for property located with
the Village Commercial (VC) zoning classification.

2. SPECIFIC PLAN
2.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
There are a few changes to the physical appearance and land uses of Old Town proposed by
this Specific Plan Amendment. The physical changes to Old Town are proposed as follows:
• The permanent improvement of the parking lot at the corner of Avenida Bermudas and
Calle Tampico into a new paved parking lot with 42 parking spaces, with associated
landscaping, lighting and irrigation. This lot was originally designed to allow for the
construction of a two-story building containing up to 27,000 square feet of retail and
office space, but has been used as a parking lot for the last ten years.
• Closure of Linden Lane, between Main Street and Avenida La Fonda, in front of The Grill
on Main and La Rue Wine Bar. This street closure would allow for the installation of a
pedestrian -oriented plaza to be used for events and for additional dining and bar areas
for the adjacent restaurants. See Exhibit 5 Plaza Plans.
• Addition of an exterior staircase leading to the second floor patio/restaurant space of the
building located at 78065 Main Street. This staircase would allow for direct access to
that restaurant from the plaza to enhance the customer experience. This staircase
would be in addition to the existing two internal building staircases and one elevator
used to access this restaurant space now.
Cables and lights would be added for both shade and lighting above the plaza area.
Roof decks not to exceed 3,000 square feet each could be added to 78065 Main Street
and 78085 Main Street to incorporate dining and bars.
The changes in use in Old Town are proposed as follows:
• The percentage of restaurant space allowed would be changed from 20,400 square feet
(16% of the 127,500 square feet of existing entitlements) to 34,000 square feet. This
increase is needed to meet market demand and is justified by the addition of both on -site
parking in Old Town and the elimination of one 27,000 square foot building from the
approvals. This 34,000 square feet of restaurants would include conditioned space and
enclosed patios. It would not include beer garden on the plaza or potential roof deck.
The conversion at some point in the future of some or all of the office space located on
the second floor of Old Town to use as residential units. A maximum of 30 new
condominium units of one to three bedrooms would be created in what are now offices.
These condominiums would range in size from 850 to 2,400 square feet. One reserved
parking space per unit would be delineated or private garages, built over existing parking
places, would be built on site for these condominiums.
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 10
The creation of the outdoor dining and bar area with fire pits, fountains, and outdoor
music to allow for the adjacent restaurants to serve customers in a festive and inviting
environment. This outdoor venue would not be counted in the restaurant space
limitation because it would only be used seasonally and for special events. A valet
parking area may be created on the Main Street side of the plaza. These valet parking
areas would be completely out of existing vehicular paths of travel, and would not
interrupt traffic. Valet parking will use existing parking spaces but will allow more cars to
park in the same area.
• This amendment will allow an exemption from Temporary Use Permits for events held
on the property which is part of this Specific Plan for arts festivals, farmer's markets,
music festivals and similar public events with total attendance of less than 1,000 people.
Applicable Alcohol Beverage Control and County Health Permits will still be required.
Police and Fire standards will be observed. City will review special event usage with
applicant annually.

2.2 DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE
The objective of this amendment to the Specific Plan is to allow for the continued, but enhanced
enjoyment of Old Town by both tenants and the public. It will allow for more variety of
restaurants, tap rooms, bars and food concessions. It will also give the flexibility to allow people
to live at Old Town at some future date when the market justifies by conversion of office space
to residences. It will further allow for more public events and pedestrian friendly areas for
relaxation away from cars and traffic. Finally it provides for more paved parking for both tenants
and guests.
2.3 LAND USE PLAN
The land use is being changed by eliminating one approved building, building a paved parking
lot, closing off Linden Lane for a pedestrian plaza and conversion of buildings into mixed use
(including residential uses).
2.4 CIRCULATION PLAN
The existing circulation in and around Old Town will not change except for the elimination of the
Linden Lane connection between Avenida La Fonda and Main Street. The elimination of this
two hundred foot section of street will not change the circulation as two-way traffic will continue
on Avenida La Fonda and Main Street with connections to Desert Club Drive and Avenida
Bermudas using either street.
The new parking lot being created at the corner of Calle Tampico and Avenida Bermudas will
have an entry and exit point into the existing driveway (street in the middle of the site). This
access point is adjacent to and utilizes the existing access to Calle Tampico. In this way this
parking lot can be safely entered and exited during events using the event lawn and even the
parking lot adjacent to the event lawn. This will add flexibility to event planning and parking.
2.5 PARKING
176 parking spaces are provided on -site and another 42 will be added by the construction of the
new parking lot at the corner of Calle Tampico and Avenida Bermudas. Five spaces will be lost
when the plaza is constructed. Approximately 220 spaces are available off -site for a total of
nearly 440 parking spaces. These off -site spaces are located near to the site (within 300 feet)
on the east side of Desert Club Drive, on Avenida La Fonda and in the two public parking lots
on the west side of Avenida Bermudas. The plan proposes to use the City's allowed method for
alternative parking standards. The site has been designed to promote pedestrian mobility, as
suggested in the City of La Quinta Village Design Guidelines, by grouping of mixed uses and
using design elements such as ample shading, a central plaza, seating areas and decorative
paving. This design will encourage people from nearby businesses and residences to walk to
the site, thereby reducing the need for on -site parking.
The plan anticipates using a shared parking arrangement as permitted in the City Zoning
Ordinance Section 9.150.070. This statement maintains that parking for non-residential uses
shall be within 300 feet of the uses served by the parking and shall be located in a commercial
district. In addition, the sit-down restaurants will be open during evening hours, when most office
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 13
and retail uses will be closed. A significantly larger number of parking spaces will be available
during the hours for restaurant use.
This method of providing spaces through shared parking will reduce the number of automobiles
on the site. This is important for the design concept of a pedestrian oriented commercial village.
Forty-two new parking spaces will be added to Old Town with the new parking lot. Closing
Linden Lane will eliminate five spaces. These new spaces as well existing parking, adjacent
City owned parking lots and nearby streets will supply adequate parking for events and
everyday use. Parking for residential use will be by one reserved space per residential unit or
private garages to be built at time of conversion to residential. These garages will be built on
existing surface lots owned by Old Town.
3. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
3.1 OVERVIEW
The uses and development standards shall be generally in accordance with the provisions of
the La Quinta Zoning and General Plan regulations. Should conflict occur between the
regulations and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan and supporting text shall prevail. In

current Old Town Specific Plan are allowed at the discretion of the Design and Development
Director or designee. Therefore, it is intended that this Specific Plan provide City Staff with the
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 14
flexibility to interpret the details of project development as well as those items discussed in
general terms in the Specific Plan without requiring a Specific Plan Amendment.
Requests for administrative changes shall be made in writing. If and when it is determined that
changes or adjustments are necessary or appropriate, the Design and Development Director or
designee shall approve these administratively. After approval, any such amendment will be
attached to the Specific Plan as an addendum and may be further changed and amended from
time to time as necessary.
Administrative Changes
Representative examples of such changes may include, but are not limited to:
• The addition of new information to the Specific Plan maps or text that do not
substantially change the effect of any regulation. The new information may include more
detailed, site- specific information.
• Changes to community infrastructure such as drainage systems, roads, water and sewer
systems, etc.
• Modification of architectural or landscape design criteria or details. No changes to the
existing criteria for architecture or landscaping are being proposed.
• The applicant is responsible for coordinating an annual review of special events with the
Design and Development Department. Subject to this review, the Department may
revise or revoke the exemption from Temporary Use Permits.
5.2 INTERPRETATION
Where there is ambiguity between the Specific Plan and the Zoning Code, the Design and
Development Director shall review pertinent information and make a determination as to which
code or standard applies. All determinations shall be in writing and shall be attached to the
Specific Plan as noted under Administrative Changes, earlier in this section.
All uses not specifically listed in this Specific Plan are prohibited. However, the Design and
Development Director may determine that a use not listed is included within or comparable to a
listed use and, once so determined; it shall be treated in the same manner as a listed use.

accordance with the State of California Government Code, Subdivision Map Act, the City of La
Quinta General Plan, and the City of La Quinta Municipal Code.
The Specific Plan development procedures, regulations, standards, and specifications shall
supersede the relevant provisions of the City's Municipal Code, as they currently exist or may be
amended in the future.
Old Town La Quinta Specific Plan Amendment 2 (SP2016-0002 — SP2002-058 Amendment 2) Page 15
