Adopted: August 19, 2003
Page 2
1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map 31349 is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan and the Mountain View Country Club Specific Plan, in that the
subdivision will result in the development of single family residences as
prescribed in the General Plan, within a gated community, and will not affect
overall density provisions as established.
2. The design and improvements for Tentative Tract Map 31349 are consistent
with the La Quinta General Plan and Mountain View Country Club Specific
Plan, in that all proposed lots meet the required dimensions. The design of the
private interior streets and the proposed residential and lettered lots are
consistent with those approved and existing within the Specific Plan area.
3. The design of Tentative Tract Map 31349, and the proposed improvements,
are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially, and
unavoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat, in that Environmental
Impact Report (SCH# 90020728) was certified on December 3, 1991, by the
City Council for the PGA West Specific Plan (Specific Plan 83-002), in which
Tentative Tract Map 31349 is located, and there are no changed
circumstances or conditions proposed with Tentative Tract Map 31349 which
would trigger the preparation of any subsequent environmental analysis.
4. The design of Tentative Tract Map 31349 and related improvements will not
cause serious public health problems, in that the Fire Department and the
City's Building & Safety Department have reviewed the project for these
issues with no significant concerns identified. Conditions of Approval have
been included to mitigate the environmental impacts to a less than significant
level, as provided in the Environmental Impact Report certified for Specific
Plan 90-016, as amended.
5. The design of, and type of improvements for, Tentative Tract Map
31349 will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for
access through, or use of, property within the subdivision. The map design
includes provisions for access, utility and other public easements as
determined necessary during review of the proposal.
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
