WHEREAS, The Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 27`h day of September, 2005, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
the request of Coral Mountain Trails L.L.C. for the subdivision of 317.61 acres into
219 single-family residential lots and other miscellaneous lots, located west of the
Jefferson Street alignment, south of the Avenue 60 alignment.
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 2005-543 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 will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and
therefore, is recommending that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental
impact be certified; and,
WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said City
Council did make the following Mandatory Findings to justify approval of said Map:
Finding A - Consistency with the General Plan, Zoning Code and any applicable
Specific Plans
Resolution No. 2005-082
Tentative Tract Map 33444
Coral Mountain Trails L.L.C.
Adopted: October 18, 2005

The property land use designation is Low Density Residential (LDR) which allows up to
four residential units per acre. The Land Use Element of the General Plan encourages
differing residential developments throughout the City. This project is consistent with
the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan insofar as the creation of
residential lots ranging from 8,000 to 20,000 square foot will provide a variety of
housing types and choices for La Quinta residents. Conditions are recommended
requiring on- and off -site improvements based on the City's General Plan Circulation
Element provisions.
The. property zoning is designated Low Density Residential (RL) and is consistent with
the City's General Plan Land Use Element in that lots exceed the City's minimum of
7,200 square feet. However, each proposed lot is large enough to support building
detached housing units that are a minimum size of 1,400 square feet, excluding
garage parking areas.
The proposed Tract Map is consistent with Specific Plan 94-025, Amendment No. 1 in
that the proposed densities and subdivision layout substantially conform to the
purpose, intent, and standards in the Specific Plan.
All plans for future single-family homes will be consistent with the provisions of the
City's Specific Plan and Zoning Code in effect at the time building permits are
acquired. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be compatible with the
surrounding area.
Finding B - Site Design and Improvements
The subdivision layout is consistent with the Land Use Goals and Policies in the City's
General Plan, which focuses on the facilitation and integration of development,
through desirable character and sensitive design residential neighborhoods to enhance
the existing high quality of life.
Infrastructure improvements to serve this project are located in the immediate area and
will be extended based on the recommended Conditions of Approval. The private Loop
streets will provide access to each single-family lot in compliance with City
requirements, as prepared.
Jefferson Street improvements from Avenue 58 to the proposed project will be
guaranteed as required by the City's General Plan Circulation Element at the time the
final map is considered pursuant to Section 13.20.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Provisions shall be made to the map's design to allow the project to be gated, ensuring
adequate vehicle stacking and turnaround areas.

Finding C - The design of the subdivision Or the proposed improvements is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or, wildlife, or their
habitat.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (EA 94-287) for Specific Plan 94-025 has been
previously certified on June 5, 2001. After evaluation, the Community Development
Department has determined that the proposed Map requires an updated environmental
assessment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Assessment 2005-543)
has been prepared by. the City of La Quinta Community Development Department 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 environmental analysis concluded that this project will not cause substantial
environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because adequate
mitigation is proposed reduce the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
Finding D - The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, is not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will not cause serious public
health problems since installation of urban improvements will be based on City, State,
and Federal requirements.
Finding E - The design of the lot, 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 the proposed internal streets will be privately
owned and maintained, and that there will be no publicly -owned improvements within
the Tentative Tract Map.
The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each single-family lot. All
required public easements will provide access to the site or support necessary
infrastructure improvements.

Finding F - Public Health Concerns
The design of the proposed subdivision map and related improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems, in that responsible agencies have reviewed the
project for these issues with no significant concerns identified. The health, safety and
welfare of current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended
conditions, which serve to implement mitigation measures for the project.
Site improvements comply with City requirements provided water retention is handled
in common basin(s). Dust control measures shall be required during any further on -site
construction work as required by Chapter 6.16 of the Municipal Code. The site is
physically suitable for the proposed land division, as the area proposed for
development contains gentle slopes containing only minor physical constraints, and
the Map design is consistent with other surrounding parcels.
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 the City Council does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 33444 to for
the reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of
