CC Resolution 2017-038RESOLUTION NO. 2017 - 038
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA
QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL
APPROVAL OF FINAL PARCEL MAP NO. 37193 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 a map for consideration of approval when the requisite items
necessary for a 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 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 City staff within a reasonable period of time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Quinta,
California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Final Parcel Map 37193 is conditionally approved provided the
subdivider submits all required item(s) on or before August 17, 2017.
SECTION 2. The City Council's approval of the Final Parcel Map shall not be considered
valid until the City Engineer has signed the map indicating that it conforms to the
tentative tract map, the Subdivision Map Act, and all ordinances of the City.
SECTION 3. The City Engineer shall withhold his signature from the map until the
subdivider has completed the following requirement and any other requirements not
expressly described here to the City Engineer's satisfaction:

along with her attesting signature, until the City Engineer has signed the map.
SECTION 5. The time extension for satisfying the requirements of the conditional
approval for this final map shall expire when City offices close for regular business on
August 17, 2017. If the subdivider has not satisfied the requirements in Section 3,
herein, by the expiration deadline, the Final Parcel Map shall be considered
disapproved. Disapproval does not deny any rights the subdivider may have under the
Map Act to resubmit the final map for approval, or disapproval.
