CC Resolution 2005-062RESOLUTION NO. 2005-062 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING THE SUBDIVISION OF EIGHT ACRES INTO 23 SINGLE- FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND MISCELLANEOUS LOTS CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT 33336 GLC/DUC LA QUINTA, LLC WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 19" day of July, 2005, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of GLC/Duc La Quinta, LLC for the subdivision of eight acres into 23 single- family residential and other miscellaneous lots, located at on the north side of Avenue 58, approximately 1,950 ± feet west of Madison Street, more particularly described as: APN 763-240-012 WHEREAS, said Tentative Tract Map has complied with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-63) in that the La Quinta Community Development Department has prepared Environmental Assessment 2005-535 for this Tentative Tract Map in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended. The Community Development Director has determined that the project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment; however, the mitigation measures imposed for this project will reduce the level to less than significant. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact has been certified for this project; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 28T" day of June, 2005, hold a public hearing to consider this request, and adopted Resolution 2005-030, recommending approval subject to conditions; and, WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said City Council did make the following Mandatory Findings of Approval to justify approval of said Tentative Tract Map 33336: 1. The Tentative Tract Map and its improvement and design are consistent with the General Plan in that its street design and lots are in conformance with applicable goals, policies, and development standards, such as lot size, and will provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities. Resolution No. 2005-062 Tentative Tract Map 33336 GLC/Duc La Quinta, LLC Adopted: July 19, 2005 Page 2 2. The design of the subdivision and its proposed improvements are not likely to create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat because mitigation measures and conditions have been - incorporated into the project approval to mitigate impacts where needed. 3. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because urban infrastructure improvements are existing, or will be installed based on applicable local, State, and Federal requirements. 4. The design of the revised subdivision and the proposed types of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the subdivision in that none presently exist and access is provided within the project and to adjacent public streets. 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 constitute the findings of the City Council in this case; 2. That it does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 33336 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta City Council, held on this 191h day of July, 2005, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: Council Members Henderson, Osborne, Sniff, Mayor Adolph NOES: None ABSENT: Council Member Perkins ABSTAIN: None C�� a�-4 DON ADOLPH, Ma r City of La Quinta, California Resolution No. 2005-062 Tentative Tract Map 33336 GLC/Duc La Quinta, LLC Adopted: July 19, 2005 Page 3 ATTEST: J GREEK, CMC, -1- Clerk City of La Quinta, California (CITY SEAL) APPROVED AS TO FORM: M.

As local topography allows, tributary areas may exceed limits of property lines adjacent to public roads. The 100-year storm shall be the governing event in the designer's evaluation. 41. In design of retention facilities, the maximum percolation rate shall be two inches per hour. The percolation rate will be considered to be zero unless the applicant provides site specific data indicating otherwise. 42. Nuisance water shall be retained on site. In residential developments, nuisance water shall be disposed of in a trickling sand filter and leach field or equivalent system approved by the City Engineer. The sand filter and leach field shall be designed to contain surges of up to 3 gph/1,000 sq. ft. of landscape area, and infiltrate 5 gpd/1,000 sq. ft.

For retention basins on individual lots, retention depth shall not exceed two feet. 45. Stormwater may not be retained in landscaped parkways or landscaped setback lots. Only incidental storm water (precipitation which directly falls onto the setback) will be permitted to be retained in the landscape setback areas. The perimeter setback and parkway areas in the street right-of-way shall be shaped with berms and mounds, pursuant to Section 9.100.040(B)(7), LQMC. 46. The design of the development shall not cause any increase in flood boundaries, levels or frequencies in any area outside the development. Resolution No. 2005-062 Conditions of Approval — Final Tentative Tract Map 33336 GLC/Duc LA Quinta, LLC Adopted: July 19, 2005 Page 12 47.
