OF APPROXIMATELY 10.6 ACRES INTO SEVEN
COMMERCIAL LOTS
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 33908
REGENCY MARINITA-LA QUINTA LLC
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the
151h day of November, 2005, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Regency Marinita-La Quinta LLC, for the subdivision of 10.6 acres into seven commercial
parcels, located at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive, more
particularly described as:
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 604-521-004
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 25th day of October, 2005, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing and adopted
Resolution 2005-054 recommending approval of this Tentative Parcel Map; and,
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department has reviewed this
project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
development request has been previously reviewed under Environmental Assessment 02-
462. Based upon this assessment, the project will not have a significant adverse effect on
the environment and no additional environmental documentation is required. No changed
circumstances or conditions are proposed which would trigger the preparation of a
subsequent environmental assessment pursuant to public resources code section 21166;
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 Parcel Map 33908:
1. The Tentative Parcel Map with its improvements and design, are consistent with the
General Plan in that its street design and parcels are in conformance with applicable
goals, policies, and will provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities.
2. The design of the parcel map and its proposed improvements are not likely to create
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat
because the site does not contain significant biological resources.
Resolution No. 2005-092

3. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems because the construction of a neighborhood commercial
center at this location will not have considerable cumulative impacts. The project is
consistent with the General Plan, and the potential impacts associated. with General
Plan buildout.
4. The design of the parcel map 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 Parcel, Map 33908 for the reasons set
forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La

streets. 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 first flush storm water and nuisance
water surges from landscape area, commercial activity and off -site street
nuisance water. The sand filter design shall be per La Quinta Standard 370 with
the equivalent of 137.2 gph of water feed per sand filter to accept the
abovementioned nuisance water requirements. Leach line requirements are
1 .108 feet of leach line per gph of flow.
As tributary and upstream stormwater flow on Fred Waring Drive is presently
diverted to the site, the applicant or his design professional may be required to
perform future site modifications that may including proposed pad and parking
area reconfiguration to accept the tributary flow and upstream stormwater.
Historical flow paths shall be identified and routing provided in the hydrology
analysis equivalent to historical flow direction. As local topography allows,
tributary areas may exceed limits of property lines adjacent to public roads.
Verification of the proposed storm water retention system is presently under
review by the Public Works Department. If in the event, the proposed retention
capacity or pass through storm water flow is found to be inadequate during final
design based on the approved hydrology study for the development,
adjustments to the site layout as needed to accommodate the increased
retention/detention or pass through capacity may be required to satisfy safety
issues of the Public Works Department.
40. No fence or wall shall be constructed around any retention basin unless
approved by the Community Development Director and the City Engineer.
41. For on -site common retention basins, retention depth shall be according to
Engineering Bulletin 97.03, and side slopes shall not exceed 3:1 and shall be
planted with maintenance free ground cover. Retaining walls are an exception to
