WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California did, on the 10t' day of June, 2003, hold duly noticed Public Hearing to
consider a request by Jim Hayhoe to create seven single-family lots on 2.33
acres located at the northeast corner of Caleo Bay and Via Florence, and on a 5-
0 vote, adopted Resolution 2003-036; and
WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings to justify a
recommendation to the City Council for approval of said Map:
Finding A - Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and any
applicable Specific Plans.
The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) per
General Plan Amendment 2003-092 which allows up to four residential units per
acre. This project is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La
Quinta General Plan insofar as the creation of residential lots will provide for
continued growth within La Quinta.
The property is designated Low Density Residential (RL) by Zone
Change 2003-114 and is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use
Element in that lots exceed the City's minimum of 7,200 square feet.
Additionally, the proposed detached single family houses under Site
Development Permit 2003-769 are consistent in design with other Lake La
Quinta housing stock. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be
compatible with the surrounding area.
Finding B - Site Design and Improvements
Infrastructure improvements to serve the subdivision were installed
by the previous developer. Therefore, the subdivision layout is consistent with
the Land Use Vision Statement in the City's General Plan, which focuses on the
facilitation and integration of development, through desirable character and
sensitive design residential neighborhoods to enhance the existing high quality of
life.
Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Resolution No. 2003-053
TTM 31289 / Jim Hayhoe
Adopted: July 1, 2003
Page 3
Various City Departments have determined that the proposed Map
could not have a significant adverse impact on the environment provided that
recommended mitigation is required pursuant to Environmental Assessment
2003-473.
Finding F - Public Health Concerns
The design of the proposed subdivision map and its 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 being 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 and compliance with prior development plans and Parcel
Map 27892. On April 18, 2003, the Coachella Valley Water District stated that
site is protected from regional stormwater flows and that their agency will furnish
domestic water and sanitation service to the site based on District regulations.
Site improvements comply with City requirements, provided on -site
water retention is handled per the Lake La Quinta Hydrology Report on file with
the Public Works Department. Dust control measures shall be required during
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 relatively flat
and without physical constraints, and the Map design is consistent with other
surrounding parcels.
That under the City's policy for parks and recreation development,
found in the City's General Plan (Chapter 5), the City's goal is to provide three
(3) acres of park land per 1,000 residents pursuant to Policy 2; this project will
provide payment to the City for usable open space outside the tract's boundary
which is allowed pursuant to Chapter 13.48 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
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:
Resolution No. 2003-063
TTM 31289 / Jim Hayhoe
Adopted: July 1, 2003
