A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA APPROVING ADDENDUM TO MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT 2000-399
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2000, the City Council of the City of La Quinta
adopted Resolution No. 2000-103, certifying Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impacts for Environmental Assessment 2000-399 ("EA 2000-399").
EA 2000-399 was prepared in conjunction with Specific P►an 2000-047, Conditional
Use Permit 2000-050, Site Development Permit 2000-680, and Tentative Parcel Map
29791 (the "La Quinta Court Project"); and
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the La Quinta Court Project, the developer was
required to obtain any necessary right of way needed for off -site improvement, and to
construct, among other improvements, a dedicated right turn lane on the southeast
corner of Washington Street and Highway 1 1 1; and
WHEREAS, EA 2000-399 identified the proposed street improvements on page
6 of the Addendum to Environmental Checklist, EA 2000-399, in the explanation of
the Transportation/Traffic impacts. However, the Description of Project on page 1 of
the Environmental Checklist Form did not separately identify the proposed street
improvements. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15164(b), this Addendum is
proposed to clarify Paragraph 8 on page 1 of the Environmental Checklist Form to read
as follows:
Specific Plan to establish development standards for a 54,000 square foot retail
shopping center on 5.65 acres. Plans call for four separate buildings.
Conditional Use Permit will allow motorcycle and golf cart sales on the site.
Parcel Map will allow motorcycle and golf cart sales on the site. Parcel Map will
eliminate previously subdivided parcels which underlie the site. The Site
Development Permit includes the submittal of development plans for the
proposed center. The project also includes the acquisition of right-of-way and
construction of roadway improvements at the southeast corner of Washington
Street and Highway 111, including an exclusive right turn lane from Washington
Street onto Highway 1 1 1; and
WHEREAS, since the time that EA 2000-399 was certified, there have been no
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is to be
undertaken, no new information of substantial importance regarding significant effects
or mitigation measures or alternative which has become available, and no subsequent
changes have been proposed to the Project which would require important revisions
to the previous mitigated negative declaration; and
