APPLICANT: R T HUGHES CO, LLC
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did,
on the 21' day of December 2004, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by R T Hughes Co, LLC, to subdivide t 4.02 acres into 16 single-family lots

follows:
APN: 766-080-008
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California, did, on the 23' day of November 2004, hold a duly noticed Public
'—' Hearing to consider a request by R T Hughes Co, LLC, to recommend to the City
Council approval to subdivide t 4.02 acres into 16 single-family lots and
miscellaneous lots, generally located on the north side of Avenue 60, approximately
700 feet west of Madison Street; and
WHEREAS, said Tentative Tract Map 32848 has complied with the
requirements and rules to implement the California Environmental Quality. Act
(CEQA) of 1970, as amended (Resolution 83-63), in that Environmental
Assessment 2004-523 was prepared and determined that although the project
could have a significant adverse effect on the environment, mitigation measures
will be imposed on the project that will reduce impacts to less than significant
levels; 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 32848:

2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision will be consistent with
the City of La Quinta General Plan in that all streets and improvements in the
proposed project will conform to City standards contained in the General Plan
and Subdivision Ordinance. Access for the land uses on the site will be
provided from an existing street in the immediate area. The density and design
for the tract will comply with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
3. The design of the proposed subdivision and improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife,
or - their habitat in that, the City of La Quinta Community Development
-Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2004-523, and based
upon this Assessment, the project may have a significant adverse effect on the
environment; however, mitigation measures will be imposed on the project to
reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The subject site is physically
suitable for the proposed land division and currently, development exists to the
west of the site and grading has taken place on the east side of the site, which
has reduced the amount of habitat suitable for any fish or wildlife.
4. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems in that the applicant will be conditioned
to meet all applicable requirements of the City of La Quinta to provide a safe
environment for the public.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
property -within the proposed subdivision in that there is an existing access -
way that will provide direct access to the site. All required public easements
will provide access to the site or support necessary infrastructure
improvements for the proposed project.
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
the City Council for this Tentative Tract Map;
