29657 Norman Estates RESOLUTION NO. 2000-31 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF LA QUINTA GRANTING CONDITIONAL FINAL MAP APPROVAL OF TRACT 29657, 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, the City Council of La Quinta does hereby find, determine, order and resolve as follows: Section 1. The final map for Tract 29657 is conditionally approved provided the subdivider submits all required items on or before May 19, 2000. 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.

At the time of submittal of security, Subdivider shall pay to City administrative fees applicable to the form of security provided.

F. Security shall not expire, be reduced or become wholly or partially invalid for any reason, including non-payment of premiums, modifications of this Agreement and/or expiration of the time for performance stated in this Agreement, without express authorization from City unless the surety provides City with sixty (60) days written notice by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

Permits Required. Prior to commencing any phase of work, Subdivider shall obtain all permits required for that phase of work and pay all required fees. Work performed under a permit or permits shall comply with all provisions of the required permits. 5. Off -site Improvements. When the construction of one or more of the Improvements requires or necessitates the acquisition of real property not owned by Subdivider or City, Subdivider shall use its best efforts purchase such real property at a reasonable price. In the event that Subdivider is unsuccessful, despite its best efforts, to acquire such real property at a reasonable price, Subdivider may request in writing that City attempt to acquire such real property.
