La Quinta Business and Industry
The City of La Quinta is proud to provide excellent resources for existing and new businesses in the area. Existing businesses in the La Quinta area are thriving and many already know of the excellent potential for both growth and stability in the area.
For those looking to relocate or start a new business, the city offers a variety of programs geared to help build a strong foundation and ultimately, allow for the greatest amount of success. Numerous local financial institutions offer loans and assistance to business owners. Additionally, the city has many offices devoted to helping businesses succeed.
The Economic Development Division of the City Manager’s Office maintains property profiles of land available for development along with detailed information on existing structures. The Community Development Department works with businesses to make sure they are allowed in the area, determines if businesses meet the city’s zoning codes, and provides information on business sign compliance.
The Finance Department helps businesses obtain proper licenses and the Building & Safety Department is the resource for questions regarding building permits, inspections, and plan checks. The Public Works Department assists business with traffic counts, capital project status, local and regional project information, and infrastructure requirements of the city, among other things.
No land in La Quinta is zoned for heavy industrial/ manufacturing; however, the La Quinta General Plan designates approximately 55 acres as a commercial park. The commercial park allows heavy commercial/light industrial uses, such as office/showroom, warehousing and storage, research and development, light manufacturing and automotive-related uses.
Employment in the area continues to grow with the greatest growth occurring in the service, construction, retail and landscape management industries. La Quinta is expanding rapidly, and the growth will necessitate additional service, retail and product availability. The city has approved projects totaling over 21,000 dwelling units.
These projects include additional golf and tennis facilities, as well as resort, commercial and hotel uses of land. Retail trade continues to grow in the Village of La Quinta and the Highway 111 corridor.
