The Planning Commission (PC) was established in 1982. Due to streamlining the development review process in 2016, the PC was restructured to include architecture and landscaping architecture expertise and its membership was increased from five to seven members appointed by the City Council. The PC is coordinated by the Design and Development Department.

Meetings

The Commission’s regularly scheduled meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

Functions and Duties

The Commission’s primary function is to carry out the powers and duties as prescribed in the Planning and Zoning Laws of the State of California and the City of La Quinta Zoning Ordinance, as well as to serve as an advisory body to the City Council.

The Planning Commission’s duties include developing and maintaining the City’s General Plan, consideration of new development applications, design review of new developments, development of specific plans, and similar planning duties.
