WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
City Council did make the following Mandatory Findings:
A. The proposed Map Amendment is consistent with the City of La Quinta General
Plan and any applicable specific plans.
A Specific Plan and General Plan Amendments are being processed concurrently
with this application to ensuring compliance with City standards and
requirements.
The project is a Low Density Residential (LDR) District per the provisions of the
General Plan Update allowing a density of 2 to 4 units per acre; therefore,
provisions of Land Use Element (Chapter 2) are met. Specific Plan 84-004
designates the site as residential and golf course which permits single family
dwellings and golf related facilities. Tract Map 29457 is consistent with the
goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan and Specific Plan 84-
004 provided conditions contained herein are met to ensure consistency with
the General Plan, Specific Plan and mitigation of environmental consequences
pursuant to Final Environmental Impact Report #90 (Addendum).
B. The design, or improvement of, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
La Quinta General Plan and any applicable specific plans.
All designs of streets and infrastructure improvements in the project conform
to City standards contained in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance as
designed. Private streets provide access to all lots and connect to off -site
streets in Tracts 27835 and 29283. The density and design standards for the
tract will comply with the Land Use Element of the General Plan (Chapter 2) and
the Specific Plan.
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife,
or their habitat.
The subject site is graded and is physically suitable for the proposed land
division. This project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury
to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures were completed
at the time the site was rough graded as required by SP 84-004, EIR No. 90
(Addendum), and Parcel Map 20469.

Amending Tract 29457 (Phases 1 and 21

June 5, 2001
Page 3
D. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision will not cause serious public health problems
because they will install urban improvements based on City, State, and Federal
requirements, and Specific Plan 84-004. The existing overhead transmission
lines do not pose a threat adjacent properties in that they were installed
pursuant federal and state requirements under the supervision and direction of
the Imperial Irrigation District personnel.
E. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision.
The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each single family
lot. All required public easements will provide access to the site or support
necessary infrastructure improvements as required by SP 84-004.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the City
Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby reconfirm the conclusions of Final Environmental Impact
Report No. 90 (Addendum) and Environmental Assessment 98-357 for Specific
Plan 84-004;
3. That it does certify Environmental Assessment 2001-421 for the reasons set
forth in this Resolution and as stated in the Environmental Assessment Checklist
and Mitigated Negative Declaration on file with the Community Development
Department; and
4. That it does hereby approve Amending Tract Map 29457 (Phase 1 and 2) and
