WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, —' California, did on the 29' day of July, 2003, adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2003-054, recommending approval of a one-year time extension on Tentative Tract 30092 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 3`d day of July, 2001, adopt Resolution 2001-92, approving Tentative Tract 30092, subject to conditions; and, 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 a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact for Environmental Assessment 2001-417 was certified by the La Quinta City Council on July 3, 2001, by adoption of Resolution 2002-91. As an extension of time for an existing approved map, none of the circumstances set forth in Public Resources Code 21166 have been shown to exist and, accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted; and, WHEREAS, at said City Council Public Hearing, held August 19, 2003, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council did make the following mandatory findings to justify approval of a one-year time extension for said Tentative Tract 30092: Resolution No. 2003-079 Tentative Tract 30092, Extension #1 August 19, 2003 Page 2 1. The approved Tentative Tract 30092 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan, as it will not be developed in any manner inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of Low Density Residential and other current City standards when considering the conditions to be imposed. 2. The design and proposed improvements of the approved Tentative Tract 30092 is consistent with the General Plan, in that development and improvement of the lots will comply with the applicable development standards for setbacks, height limitations, density, grading, streets, and access. 3. The approved Tentative Tract 30092 is consistent with the La Quinta Zoning Code, as the project contemplates land use that is substantially equivalent to that permitted under existing Low Density Residential zoning, and which were previously addressed in the EIR certified for the General Plan Environmental Assessment 2001-417. Specifically, development of existing RL-zoned land is considered to implement zoning consistency with the General Plan. 4. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause environmental damage, serious public health problems, or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife, in that these issues were considered in Environmental Assessment 2001-417, in which no significant health or safety impacts were identified and mitigation measures were adopted. 5. The approved Tentative Tract 30092 has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended (City Council Resolution 83-63), in that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact for Environmental Assessment 2001- 417 was certified by the La Quinta City Council on July 3, 2001, by adoption of Resolution 2001-91.
