WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 16TM day of July, 2002, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request
of LIDO EQUITY PARTNERS for subdivision of 43.6 acres into 147 residential lots and

A.P.N. 604-032-009, -18, AND -21
WHEREAS, said 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 La Quinta Community Development
Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2002-455. The Community
Development Director has determined that the project will not have a significant
adverse impact on the environment and therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact has been considered and certified by the City Council; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
City Council did make the following Mandatory Findings of Approval to justify
approval of said Tentative Tract Map 30521:
1. The Map and its design are consistent with the General Plan with approval of
General Plan Amendment 2002-087 in that its lots are in conformance with
applicable goals, policies, and development standards, such as lot size and will
provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities.
2. The design of the subdivision or its proposed improvements are not likely to
create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or
their habitat because mitigation measures and conditions have been imposed.
3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed types of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems because urban improvements are
existing or will be installed based on applicable Local, State, and Federal
requirements and Conditions of Approval will be imposed.
