The La Quinta Community Development Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2006-579 in accordance 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 2006-579 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, as conditioned,' 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. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted with the Riverside County Recorder's office as required by Section 15072 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statutes.; and WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published a public hearing notice in the Desert Sun newspaper on January 26, 2007, as prescribed by the Municipal Code. Public hearing notices were also mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site; and Resolution No. 2007-018 Tentative Tract Map 35060 laing Luxury Homes Adopted: Febroery 20. 2007 Page 2 I 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 to justify approving said Tentative Tract Map 35060: A. The Tentative Tract Map and its improvement and design, are consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan 2006-081, as amended, in that its street design and lots are in conformance with applicable goals, policies, and will provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities. B. 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 the site does not contain significant biological resources. C. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because the construction of 74 residential units will not have considerable cumulative impacts. The project is consistent with the General Plan. and the potential impacts associated with General Plan build out. I D. .The design of the 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 Council in this case. 2.
