CC Resolution 2007-115
RESOLUTION NO. 2007-115
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL
FINAL MAP APPROVAL OF PARCEL MAP NO. 34855, JC
PENNEY, STAMKO DEVELOPMENT, CO., A LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP AND AUTHORIZING A TIME EXTENSION
FOR SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE
CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO VALIDATE THE
APPROVAL
WHEREAS, the City Council conducts only two regular meetings per month
and the time interval between these meetings occasionally creates an undue
hardship for business enterprises and individuals seeking approval of subdivision
maps; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, as a matter of policy, allows a subdivider to
have City staff present the map for approval consideration when the requisite items
necessary for final map approval are nearly, but not completely, finished thus
yielding to the subdivider additional production time for preparation of those items;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council, conditionally approved a Final Map No. 34855
on November 20, 2007; and
WHEREAS, the subdivider has demonstrated to City staff and the City
Council that it has made sufficient progress with items required for final map
approval, but has encountered minor delays due to changing bank procedures and
the holidays, and it is reasonable to expect the subdivider to satisfactorily complete
the items, including City staff review time, within an additional thirty (30) days
without adversely impacting other ongoing work commitments of City staff; and
WHEREAS, Section 66458(b) of the Subdivision Map Act grants the City
Council broad authority to authorize time extensions regarding final map approval,
or disapproval, upon receiving it for consideration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council relies on professional City staff to review all
required items for conformance with relevant requirements, and it is therefore
appropriate for the City Council to approve the final map subject to review and
confirmation of the required items by professional City staff, within a reasonable
period of time as specified by the City Council.
