testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings of approval to justify said
Tentative Parcel Map 30586:
1. The proposed map is consistent With the City of La Quinta General Plan
Commercial Land Use Policy 3 in that strip commercial development will be
discouraged and minimum lot depth is achieved.

2. The design, or improvement of, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
La Quinta General Plan and the Subdivision Ordinance.
All streets and improvements in the project conform to City standards
contained in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance as designed. All on-
site streets will be private. Access for the commercial project will be provided
from an internal street planned under the Specific Plan.
3. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map, or the proposed improvements, are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or
wildlife, or their habitat.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed land division. Therefore,
this project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or
wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures will be implemented.
4. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map, or type of improvements, are not likely
to cause serious public health problems.
The design of the Tentative Parcel Map, as conditionally approved, will not
cause serious public health problems because they will install urban
improvements based on City, State, and Federal requirements.
5. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map, or type of improvements, will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or
use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each building in the
commercial center. All required public easements will provide access to the site
or support necessary infrastructure improvements.
6. The design of the lots, or type of improvements, are not likely to cause serious
public health problems in that the Fire Marshal, Sheriff's Department, and the
City's Building and Safety Department have reviewed the proposal for public
health conditions and the project is conditioned as appropriate.
7. The design of the lots, or type of improvements, will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision in that the proposed internal streets will be
privately owned and maintained, and that there will be no publicly-owned
improvements within the Tentative Parcel Map.
