WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments,
if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council did find the

Plan and Specific Plan 96-028.. The division of property is necessary to allow
ccreapm.28422
19982'7
Resolution 97-08
orderly development of land use designations as set forth in the General Plan,
as well as to implement the proposed Specific Plan for the property. will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the community, either
indirectly or directly,
2. The design and improvement of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent
with the La Quinta General Plan and Specific Plan 96-028, in that the .parcel
map provides for the required right-of-way dedications and other on and off -site
improvement aspects- as necessary to support development in accordance with
the provisions of Specific Plan 96-028, pursuant to City standards adopted to
implement the General Plan.
3. Design and improvement of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map will not have the
potential to degrade the quality of the -environment, or substantially injure fish
or other wildlife, including any habitat, in that no significant impacts have been
identified, and less than significant or potentially significant impacts can be
addressed by the incorporated mitigation measures and standard City
development requirements.
4. Design and improvement of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map are not likely to
cause serious public health problems, in that the project contemplates uses
similar to those already assessed under ultimate development of the La Quinta
General Plan, and which were addressed in the EIR previously certified for the
General Plan.
5. Design and improvement of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map will not conflict
with any public easements for access or use of the property. The applicant has
provided access to adjoining properties which will not conflict with any other
public easements, and conditions of approval require the development of
specific right-of-ways in order to improve access, both to the site and to other
property in the vicinity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California as follows:
That the recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the City
Council regarding this Tentative Parcel Map.

reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to approval conditions, attached
hereto, as Exhibit "A" and on file in the Community Development Department.
