APPLICANT: EAST OF MADISON, LLC
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on

described as:
APN: 767-200-091; 767-210-082
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Planning Department has determined that this
request has been assessed in conjunction with Environmental Assessment 2004-520
which was prepared for Specific Plan 1999-035 Amendment 1, which was certified on
February 1, 2005. No changed circumstances or conditions are proposed which would
trigger the preparation of subsequent environmental analysis pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21166; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 28" day of August, 2007, hold a duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider a

testimony and arguments, did adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2007-035,
recommending to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 34968; 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 findings to justify their recommendation for
approval of Tentative Tract Map 34968:
1. The design of proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the city General
Plan and any applicable specific plans 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.

2. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or 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 or type of 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 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, 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;
