RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving Site Development Permit (SDP) 2018-0003,
Sign Program (SAPR) 2018-0001, Minor Adjustment (MA) 2018-0008, and
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2018-0004, and find the project exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
• The proposed project includes a new 18,695 square foot (sf) art
museum (museum), containing artist work studio and display works of
art (Attachment 1).
PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1
• The applicant proposes a SAPR to allow for additional sign locations
and area and a MA to allow for additional floor area.
BACKGROUND
The subject site parcel configuration was created in 1989 with Tract Map
24230. The project site consists of approximately 1.12 acres of vacant,
unimproved land located in between Washington Street and Caleo Bay Drive,
north of Avenue 48 and directly west of the existing Lake La Quinta
residential development.
PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS
The applicant requests approval for new 18,695 sf museum. SDP approval is
requested for landscaping and architectural design of the museum
(Attachment 2). The museum is two stories, with the second floor used
solely for art storage.
Site Design
The building will consist of galleries, a studio, offices, reception area, storage
areas, break room, and outdoor areas with covered patios. The building
design reflects modern design with architectural breaks and varying roof
lines on all frontages and a simple color design incorporating grey, white,
and tan colors. The maximum height of the building is 22 feet and
incorporates a flat roof design.
The building meets setback and height standards of the underlying zone,
Community Commercial (CC). The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for the
zone is 30%, which for this site is 14,636 sf. The applicant has provided a
shared parking plan for the project, which allows an additional five (5)
percent FAR, per Section 9.150.060 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. The
applicant has also applied for a Minor Adjustment (MA), which would allow
an additional ten (10) percent of FAR. The additional FAR allowances give
the site a maximum floor area of 16,831 sf. The applicant is proposing a
floor area of 16,694, meeting the FAR requirements.
The building requires 42 parking spaces and the proposal includes 38 parking
spaces on site, with an additional four (4) parking spaces accessible through
a shared parking agreement between the project owner and the Caleo Bay
Alzheimer’s Special Care Facility directly to the south of the site. The Special
Care Facility has a surplus of 38 parking spaces, allowing them to share four
(4) parking spaces with the museum through the agreement. There will be
26 parking spaces covered with a solar carport (Attachment 2, Page A3.4).
Access to the site will come from Caleo Bay Drive.
Landscaping and Lighting
New landscaping is proposed all throughout the perimeter of the site, the
parking lot, and entrance to the museum (Attachment 3). The assorted
species of plants and trees, including date and fan palms, assorted agave
plants, and century plants, add character to the proposed development, are
consistent with desert landscaping palettes in the City, and provide sufficient
screening and accents around the vehicular circulation areas.
Project lighting will include parking lot lighting with downlights, bollards
lighting pedestrian walkways, and monument lighting for the signs around
the building (Attachment 2, Sheet LDE-1.PD).
Conditional Use Permit
CUP approval is required for use of this commercial site per the conditions of
approval for Tract Map 24230. The proposed used is permitted in the
underlying CC zone. The museum will be named the “California Desert
Museum of Art” and will focus on exhibiting a collection of American
Impressionist paintings, antiques, sculptures and artifacts, and other
personal paintings of the project owner, Christian Title. The 1,750 sf studio
will provide space for seniors and those who wish to paint. The museum
plans to incorporate programming for children, seniors, the neighboring
Caleo Bay Alzheimer’s Center, and other organizations.
Sign Program
A SAPR is proposed to allow the building to have more visibility and allow for
additional temporary banners to advertise programming (Attachment 4).
The SAPR proposes three (3) building mounted signs totaling 121 sf, three
(3) temporary event vinyl banners totaling 341 sf, and two (2) monument
signs totaling 78 sf. The total proposed sign area is 540 sf.
AGENCY & PUBLIC REVIEW:
Public Agency Review
This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public
agencies. All written comments from other public agencies have been
received and are on file and available for review with the Design and
Development Department. All applicable comments have been adequately
addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval.
Public Notice
This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 2,
2018 and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. No
comments have been received as of this date.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Design and Development Department has determined that this project is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32) of
the California Environmental Quality Act in that the proposed project can be
characterized as in-fill development.

CEQA: THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS
DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301
OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IN
THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT CAN BE CHARACTERIZED
AS AN EXISTING FACILITY.
LOCATION: 79900 HIGHWAY 111
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Deem the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and
adopt a resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit Amendment (Amendment)
for Home Depot outdoor displays and sales.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The applicant proposes Amendment approval for changes to the approved
outdoor display and sales for Home Depot, located within the Jefferson
Plaza (Attachment 1).
• The proposed use is consistent with the City of La Quinta Municipal Code
(Code) and Jefferson Plaza Specific Plan.
PUBLIC HEARING NO. 2
BACKGROUND
The Home Depot is currently located and operating within the Jefferson Plaza
commercial retail center (Attachment 2). As part of their business and sales
model, merchandise and home storage options have continuously been displayed
in areas along the store frontage. Planning Commission approved Conditional
Use Permit 2016-0004 on February 28, 2017, allowing outdoor sales and display
at Home Depot. The approval allowed for 5,192 square feet (sf) of outdoor sales
and display including display of promoted items, storage of bagged goods,
staging areas for garden sales merchandise, and display of five (5) storage
sheds.
PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS
Home Depot USA, Inc. has submitted an application for an Amendment for
modification and additions to their outdoor display and sales areas, subject to a
proposed site plan (Attachment 3). The display areas are located in designated
areas along the store frontage on the south, west, and north elevations of the
building and will not obstruct ADA-accessible paths. A total of 12,842 sf of
outdoor sales and display are proposed:

The proposal includes moving the display of five (5) storage sheds where five
existing parking stalls are located on the southeast corner of the site, in order to
accommodate a newly proposed garden material staging area and to increase
visibility for storage shed sales. The proposal will create a total need of 287
parking spaces for Home Depot based on requirements of the Code. The total
parking spaces approved for the entire Jefferson Plaza shopping center is 1,146,
which includes 625 spaces within the Home Depot site. Seasonal sales events will
be regulated by the Code and evaluated on a case-by-case basis by Staff.
Staff concludes that the proposed outdoor display and sales area is acceptable
and will have minimal impacts upon other existing surrounding uses. As
conditioned, the proposed use is consistent with the Outdoor Storage and Display
Code requirements as follows:
• Display area (12,842 sf) does not exceed ten percent of the gross
floor area (129,802 sf) of the retail commercial building.
• Complies with fire, health, building, and safety codes
• Permitted display locations include designated portions of sidewalk,
patios, and similar areas within proximity to the storefront.
• Display and storage areas do not obstruct building entrance or exit or
obstruct access to any parking space or drive aisle.
AGENCY & PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Agency Review:
This request was sent to all applicable City departments and affected public
agencies on December 12, 2017. No comments were received.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Design and Development Department has determined that this project is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California
Environmental Quality Act in that the Conditional Use Permit can be characterized
as an existing facility as it consists of the operation and minor alteration of an
existing private facility involving negligible expansion of use.

WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be

Page 2 of 3
2. Consistency with Zoning Code
The proposed use, as conditioned, is consistent with provisions of the
zoning code. The additional outdoor display and sales areas outside of
an existing commercial retail building will have minimal impacts on the
surrounding land uses and will conform to the development standards
applicable to the use.
3. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The Design and Development Department has determined that this
project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301
of the CEQA in that the proposed project can be characterized as an
existing facility.
4. Surrounding Uses
As conditioned, approval of the application 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 use is contained within an existing commercial
retail area, is in conformance with all current fire, health, and building
codes, and conditions of approval have been incorporated to mitigate
potential code compliance conflicts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of
the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the Findings of
the Planning Commission in this case.
