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 within a Low Density Residential (LDR) District per the provisions of the General Plan Update allowing a density of two to four 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 28343 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 with other adjacent tracts. The density and design standards for the Tract 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. Resolution No. 2001-71 Amending Tract Map 28343 T. D. Desert Development June 5, 2001 Page 3 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. D. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, 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.
