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 12 acres into a residential subdivision consisting of 36-

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

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 with the goals, policies and intent of the General Plan insofar as
high density residential is consistent with the land use designation of the
City.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code: With the Specific Plan, the proposed
project 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 habitat. The proposed project is consistent with the
requirements of CEQA, in 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
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.
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
