RESOLUTION NO. 2003-017
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINT A,
CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL FINAL MAP APPROVAL OF
TRACT NUMBER 29323-1, 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 subdivider has demonstrated to City staff and the City Council
that it has made sufficient progress with items required for final map approval, and it
is reasonable to expect the subdivider to satisfactorily complete the items, including
City staff review time, within 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 amended 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The final map for Tract Map Number 29323-', is conditionally
approved provided the subdivider submits all required items on or before May 1, 2003.
SECTION 2. The City Council's approval of the final map shall not be
considered valid until the City Engineer has signed the map indicating that it conforms
with the tentative map, the Subdivision Map Act and all ordinances of the City.
