APPLICANT: SANTA ROSA DEVELOPMENT, INC
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 28th day of October, 2003 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Santa Rosa Development, Inc., for approval of a Tentative Tract Map to

APNs: 649-030-036.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did, on
the 18th day of November, 2003 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Santa Rosa Development, Inc., for approval of a Tentative Tract Map to
subdivide approximately 19.51 acres into a residential subdivision consisting of a 149-
unit detached clustered senior housing project, generally located at the northeast
corner of Avenue 48 and Adams Street.
WHEREAS, said Tentative Tract Map application has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970" as amended (Resolution 83-68), in that the Community Development
Department has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental
Assessment 2003-466) was certified by the City Council for this project under
Resolution 2003-005. There are no changed circumstances, conditions, or new
information which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent Environmental
Assessment pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
City Council did make the following mandatory findings to approve said Tentative Tract
Map 31311:
t--- 1. Consistency with the General Plan: The property is designated for High Density
Residential uses on the General Plan Land Use Map. The project is consistent

is consistent with the development standards of the High Density Residential
Zoning District, including, but not limited to, setbacks, architecture, building
heights, building mass, exterior lighting, parking, circulation, open space and
landscaping.
3. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The design of
the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to either cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially injure fish and wildlife or their

would trigger the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Assessment
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166
4. Design Improvements: The design of the subdivision and/or the type of
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the
site is physically suitable for the subdivision. Infrastructure improvements
(water, sewer, gas, electricity, etc.) will serve the site as required.
5. Easements/Access: The design of the subdivision will not conflict with the
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of
property, within the proposed subdivision in that adequate roadways will be
provided. to meet the intent of the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
