AND MRS. BRUCE BAUMANN WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 5' day of February, 2002, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by the Baumann Family to create four single family and one lettered street lots on 9.1 acres located at the northerly terminus of Kirk Court in an Low Density Residential (RL) Zoning District, more particularly described as: Parcels 1 & 2 of Parcel Map 8843, including portions of Kirk Court; APN: 762-240-007 and -008 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 13'�' day of November, 2001, and 11 "' day of December, 2001, and a day of January, 2002, hold duly noticed Public Hearings to consider a request by the Baumann Family to create four single family and one lettered street lots on 9.1 acres located at the northerly terminus of Kirk Court in an Low Density Residential (RL) Zoning District, and on a 5-0 vote, adopted Resolution 2002-002, recommending approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS, the La Quinta Community Development Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2001-415. Based upon this assessment, the project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment; therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended. 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 Map: Fin in A - Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and any applicable Specific Plan Resolution No. 2002-12 TTM 29963, Baumann Family Adopted: February 5, 2002 Page 2 The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR). The Land Use Element of the General Plan encourages differing residential developments throughout the City. This project is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan insofar as the creation of estate residential lots (0.43 dwelling units per acre) will provide another type of housing market for La Quinta residents while not exceeding the City's maximum density of four units per acre. Concerning the construction of Kirk Court to its ultimate width, Conditions are recommended requiring two lanes of paving from the site to Avenue 58 and obligations for expansion of Avenue 58 to its ultimate width based on the City's General Plan Circulation Element provisions. The property is designated Low Density Residential (RL) and is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Element. The estate lots exceed the City's minimum of 7,200 square feet. No houses are proposed for the project under this application. All plans for future single family homes shall be consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Code in effect at the time building permits are acquired. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be compatible with the surrounding area. Fin in B - Site Design and Improvements Infrastructure improvements to serve this project are located in the immediate area and will be extended based on the recommended Conditions of Approval. Extending Kirk Court to the north will not adversely impact surrounding areas nor impact implementation of Section 13.24.070(F) of the Subdivision Ordinance in that flag lots would be required to serve the newly created lots which is not a preferred alternative for Fire Department serve needs. The private street cul-de-sac bulb extension will provide street frontages for the future houses that meet Zoning Code requirements, as prepared. Improvements on Avenue 58 will be guaranteed as required by the City's General Plan Circulation Element at the time the final map is considered pursuant to Section 13.20.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental Qaulity Act Various environmental studies were prepared for this project, and after careful evaluations, the Historic Preservation Commission and various City Departments have determined that the proposed Map could not have a significant adverse impact on the environment provided that recommended mitigation is required pursuant to Environmental Assessment 2001-415. Resolution No. 2002-12 — TTM 29963, Baumann Family Adopted: February 5, 2002 Page 3 Fin in F - Public Health Concerns 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. 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. Site improvements comply with City requirements, provided on -site water retention is handled on the private lots, or a common basin. Dust control measures shall be required during any further on -site construction work as required by Chapter 6.16 of the Municipal Code. The site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, as the area is flat and without physical constraints, and the Map is consistent with other surrounding parcels. Findina G - Site Design (Public Easements) Public easements will be retained and required in order to construct any houses on the proposed lots, ensuring adequate facilities for future homeowners in compliance with Section 13.24.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance. 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 certify Environmental Assessment 2001-415 in that no significant effects on the environment were identified, provided mitigation measures are met; and 3. That it does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 29963 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
