CC Resolution 2001-037RESOLUTION NO. 2001-37
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF LA QUINTA GRANTING
CONDITIONAL FINAL MAP APPROVAL OF PARCEL 24197, AND
AUTHORIZING A TIME EXTENSION FOR SATISFACTORY COMPLETION
OF THE CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO VALIDATE THE APPROVAL
WHEREAS, the City Council conducts only two regular meetings per month and
the time interval between these meetings occasionally creates an undue hardship for
business enterprises and individuals seeking approval of subdivision maps; and
WHEREAS, the City Council as a matter of policy allows a subdivider to have
city staff present the map for approval consideration when the requisite items
necessary for final map approval are nearly, but not completely, finished thus yielding
to the subdivider additional production time for preparation of those items; and
WHEREAS, the subdivider has demonstrated to city staff and the City Council
that it has made sufficient progress with items required for final map approval, and it
is reasonable to expect the subdivider to satisfactorily complete the items, including
city staff review time, within thirty (30) days without adversely impacting other
ongoing work commitments of city staff; and
WHEREAS, Section 66458(b) of the Subdivision Map Act grants the City
Council broad authority to authorize time extensions regarding final map approval, or
disapproval, upon receiving it for consideration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council relies on professional city staff to review all
required items for conformance with relevant requirements, and it is therefore
appropriate for the City Council to approve the final map subject to review and
confirmation of the required items by professional city staff, within a reasonable period
of time as specified by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
Section 1. The final map for Parcel 24197 is conditionally approved provided
the subdivider submits all required items on or before May 17, 2001.
Section 2. The City Council's approval of the final map shall not be considered
valid until the City Engineer has signed the map indicating that it conforms with the
tentative map, the Subdivision Map Act and all ordinances of the City.

Section 3. The City Engineer shall withhold his signature from the map until the
subdivider has completed the following requirements to the City Engineer's
satisfaction.
A. Produced a technically correct drawing of the map area that is suitable
for recording by the County Recorder.
B. Has obtained all requisite signatures on the map title page, except for the
City Clerk's signature.
Section 4. The City Clerk shall withhold affixing the City Seal to the map title
page, along with her attesting signature, until the City Engineer has signed the map.
Section 5. The time extension for satisfying the requirements of the conditional
approval for this final map shall expire when City offices close for regular business on
May 17, 2001. If the subdivider has not satisfied the requirements in Section 3,
herein, by the expiration deadline, the final map shall be considered disapproved.
Disapproval does not deny any rights the subdivider may have under the Map Act to
resubmit the final map for approval, or disapproval.
