SUBJECT: APPROVAL LETTER- MUP 2022-0017 JENERIC BED AND
BREAKFAST 51795 AVENIDA CORTEZ
Dear Ms. Lien:
The City of La Quinta Design and Development Department has reviewed and
approved Minor Use Permit 2022-0017 for a Bed and Breakfast facility located at
51795 Avenida Cortez, in an existing home. The following findings can be made as
required by the La Quinta Municipal Code Sections 9.60.270 Bed and breakfast
regulations and 9.210.025 Minor Use Permits:
1. Consistency with the General Plan: The land use is consistent with the general
plan. The proposal does not alter the approved land use for the property or
affect land use on surrounding similar properties. It is consistent with the
general plan goals and policies regarding balanced and varied economic base
with a range of businesses and providing a broad range of goods and services
to the community.
2. Consistency with Zoning Code: The proposed use is consistent with the
provisions of the Cove Residential District zoning designation and
requirements of La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.60.270 Bed and Breakfast
regulations. The intent of the Bed and Breakfast facilities is to provide small
commercial lodging facilities in residential districts. The property is physically
suitable for use as a bed and breakfast facility.
3. Compliance with CEQA: Processing of this Minor Use Permit complies with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Design and
Development Department has determined that this project is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1) of the California
Environmental Quality Act for existing facilities since the residential home is
already existing and no modifications are being proposed.
4. Surrounding Uses: The use of the property as a bed and breakfast will not
cause an undue burden on adjacent and nearby property owners. 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 location is appropriate for the
proposed use. Conditions have been added to ensure that the operation will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare with other
properties.
The Minor Use Permit is subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. The applicant/property owner agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
the City of La Quinta (the “City”), its agents, officers and employees from any
claim, or litigation arising out of the City’s approval of this project. This
indemnification shall include any award toward attorney’s fees. The City of La
Quinta shall have the right to select its defense counsel in its sole discretion.
The City of La Quinta shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or
proceeding and shall cooperate fully in the defense.
2. Per La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Section 9.200.130, the use permit may
be modified or revoked at any time by the Design and Development Director,
City Council, or Planning Commission, should they determine that the proposed
uses or conditions under which it is being operated or maintained is detrimental
to the public health, welfare, or materially injurious to property, or
improvements in the vicinity, or if the property is operated or maintained, so
as to constitute a public nuisance.
3. The Bed and Breakfast shall be conducted only by a person owning the dwelling
and residing therein as their principal place of residence. The use permit shall
be voided upon the sale or transfer of the property ownership.
4. The applicant shall obtain and secure a city business license prior to operation.
5. Operation of the Bed and Breakfast shall be consistent with the existing site
plan and operations on file with the Design and Development Department.
6. The Bed and Breakfast shall accommodate a maximum of two guests in one
guest room.
7. The individual guest room used for renting purposes shall not contain cooking
facilities.
8. Signs shall not exceed two square feet attached to the house.
9. The Bed and Breakfast shall be subject to all applicable provisions of Chapter
3.24 of the municipal code (Transient Occupancy Tax).
10. The City may conduct an onsite inspection of the property to verify compliance
at any time.
11. Any complaints about the operations of the Bed and Breakfast shall be
responded to in a timely manner. Since the owner shall be residing during
operations, it is expected that any complaints can be addressed immediately.
12. If the applicant wishes to revise this Minor Use Permit, they must make this
request in writing to the Design and Development Department who will
determine its applicability and whether a new Minor Use Permit will be required.
This decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission by any party who
submits the necessary paperwork and filing fee of $1,526.00 to this office within 15
days of the date of approval of this permit. If you have any questions, please contact
