The proposed Tentative Tract Map 29004 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan and the PGA West Specific Plan, in that the subdivision will result in the development of single family residences, within a gated community, and will not affect overall density provisions as established. Overall, the proposed subdivision will only add 11 lots to the existing 1,750 units, well below the approved total of 5,000 units. Tentative Tract Map 29004 is consistent with current standards of the Municipal Zoning Code, RL Zoning District, and PGA 46619 Resolution No. 98-141 Tentative Tract Map 29004 Adopted: 12/1 /98 Page 2 West Specific Plan. This subdivision proposes lot sizes greater than the 7,200 square -foot minimum required by the RL Zoning District, and larger than the Specific Plan's SPR minimum requirement of 6,500 square feet. 2. The design and improvements for Tentative Tract Map 29004 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan and the PGA West Specific Plan, in that all proposed lots meet the required dimensions, with the smallest lot size being 9,104 square feet. 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 29004, 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# 83062922) was certified in May, 1984 by the City Council for the PGA West Specific Plan (Specific Plan 83-002), in which Tentative Tract Map 29004 is located, and there are no changed circumstances or conditions proposed with Tentative Tract Map 29004 which would trigger the preparation of any subsequent environmental analysis. Tentative Tract Map 29004 has also been determined to be exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Government Code Section 65457(a). 4. The design of Tentative Tract Map 29004 and related improvements are not likely to 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. Necessary infrastructure improvements for this project have been partially installed within PGA West, in and around the Tentative Tract Map 29004 project area. The health, safety and welfare of current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended conditions, which serve to address the previous assessment of these issues in the Environmental Impact Report certified for Specific Plan 83- 002, as amended. 5. There is no evidence to show that State -mandated school fees will not be adequate to address impacts to school facilities, in that Tentative Tract Map 29004 as proposed will be required to pay these, fees for each unit, whether or not school -age children ultimately reside within 'those units. 6. The design of, and type of improvements for, Tentative Tract Map 29004 will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the subdivision, as the proposed subdivision has been 4GG19 Resolution No. 98-141 Teritative Tract Map 29004 Adopted: 12/1 /98 Page 3 reviewed for these issues with no concerns identified. The map design includes provisions for access, utility and other public easements as determined necessary during review of the proposal. .
