CC Resolution 2001-092RESOLUTION NO. 2001-92 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION OF 37.08 ACRES INTO 97 SINGLE FAMILY AND OTHER PRIVATE STREET AND COMMON LOTS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF AVENUE 58 AND MONROE STREET CASE: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 30092 APPLICANT: BARTON PROPERTIES WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the V day of July, 2001, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by Barton Properties for Charles and Norma Fausel to create 97 single family and other private common lots on 37.08 acres located at the northwest corner of Avenue 58 and Monroe Street, more particularly described as: Assessor's Parcel No.: 761-720-020 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 12"' day of June, 2001, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request and recommended approval by adoption of Resolution 2001-088. WHEREAS, the Tentative Tract Map has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-63), in that the Community Development Department has determined that the proposed Map could not have a significant adverse impact on the environment provided that recommended mitigation is required, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact (EA 2001-417) has been certified; and WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said City Council did make the following mandatory findings to justify approval of said Tentative Tract Map: 1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, in that the subdivision will result in the creation of large residential lots to be developed in accordance with the existing Pre -Annexation Zoning and General Plan designations as established. Project density is approximately 2.6 units per acre where up to a maximum density of four units per acre is allowed. 2. The design and improvements for the Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, in that all proposed single family lots meet and exceed minimum required dimensions and sizes requirements. The design of private streets servicing the residential lots are consistent with standards as Resolution No. 2001-92 TTM 30092, Barton Properties July 3, 2001 Page 2 contained in the General Plan Circulation Element. 3. The design of the Map, and its proposed improvements, are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and unavoidable injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat, in that the site is vacant and has been previously disturbed by farming activity, to the degree that the site itself does not support any wildlife species. 4. The design of the proposed subdivision map and related improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, in that responsible agencies have reviewed the project for these issues with no significant concerns identified. Necessary infrastructure improvements for this project are readily accessible. The health, safety and welfare of current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended conditions, which serve to implement mitigation measures for the project. 5. The design of, and type of improvements for, the Map will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the subdivision, as the proposed subdivision has been reviewed for these issues with no concerns identified. The Tract's design includes provisions for lot access and utility and other public easements as determined necessary during review of the proposal. 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 correct and constitute the findings of said City Council in this case; 2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion that Environmental Assessment 2001-417 assessed the environmental concerns of this Map; and 3. That it does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 30092 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
