BRUCE BAUMANN WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 51" day of November, 2002, hold duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by the Baumann Family to revise the location of the street serving a four -lot single family subdivision on 9.29 acres located at the northerly terminus of Coral Mountain Court (formerly 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 8" day of October, 2002, hold duly noticed Public Hearings to consider a request by the Baumann Family to revise Tentative Tract Map 29963, and on a 4-0 vote, adopted Resolution 2002-100 recommending to the City Council approval, subject to conditions WHEREAS, on August 20, 2002, the Community Development Department mailed case file materials to all affected agencies for their review and comment. All written comments are on file with the Community Development Department; and WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published the public hearing notice in the Desert Sun newspaper on October 22, 2002 as prescribed by Section 13.12.100 (Public Notice Procedure) of the Subdivision Ordinance. Public hearing notices were also mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the tract map site on September 6, 2002 for the Planning Commission meeting and October 3, 2002 for the City Council meeting. To date, no comments have been received from adjacent property owners; and Resolution No. 2002-149 Tentative Tract Map 29963 Revised, Baumann Family Adopted: November 5, 2002 Page 2 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 approve said revised Map: Finding A - Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and any applicable Specific Plan 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. Conditions are recommended requiring two lanes of paving from the site to Avenue 58 along the east boundary of Tentative Tract Map 30834. The property is designated Low Density Residential (RQ 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. Finding 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. Under the revised map, site access has been shifted 300 feet east to allow development of Tentative Tract Map 30834. Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental Qaulity Act A Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Assessment 2001-415) was certified by the City Council on February 5, 2002, for Tentative Tract Map 29963 under Resolution 2002-1 1, and posted with the Riverside County Recorder's Office from March 5, 2002 to April 5, 2002 pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21152. There are no changed circumstances, conditions, or new information which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent environmental assessment pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21166. Resolution No. 2002-149 Tentative Tract Map 29963 Revised, Baumann Family Adopted: November 5, 2002 Page 3 Finding 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. Finding 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; and 2. That it does hereby approve the above -described revisions to Tentative Tract Map 29963 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta City Council, held on this 51h day of November, 2002, by the following vote, to wit: Resolution No. 2002-149 Tentative Tract Map 29963 Revised, Baumann Family Adopted: November 5, 2002 Page 4 AYES: Council Members Adolph, Henderson, Perkins, Sniff, Mayor Pena NOTES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None ATTEST: JU .
