WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering the EIR,
the Supplemental EIR, the Addendum, all testimony and arguments, if any, of all
interested persons wanting to be heard, said City Council did make the following
findings of approval to justify approval of said Tentative Parcel Map:
1 . The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and the adopted Specific
Plan in that the lots will be used for commercial uses which conforms with the
General Plan and its Elements provided the recommended Conditions of
Approval are imposed.
2. The design and proposed improvements of the proposed map is consistent with
the General Plan and adopted Specific Plan in that the development and
improvements of the lots will comply with applicable development standards
regarding, density, grading, access, streets, lot sizes and widths, etc., provided
the recommended Conditions of Approval are imposed.
3. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to
cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, or
wildlife, or cause serious public health problems since the project is surrounded
by development, or other urban improvements.
4. The design of the proposed map or types of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems because the development of the land will
require compliance with all health related requirements including traffic calming
techniques (i.e. stop signs, chokers, etc.), and provisions for sewers and water.
5. The design of the proposed map will not conflict with easements acquired by
the public at large, for access through, or use of, the property within the
proposed Map which currently exists. Any new easements will be provided
and shown or noted on the map.
6. The proposed subdivision has been conditioned to comply with the existing
Specific Plan development standards, zoning Code standards including access,
stormwater retention, utilities. The adjacent properties have been adequately
buffered and the subdivision should not cause serious public health problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
