WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City
Council did make the following mandatory findings to justify approval of the
Tentative Tract Map:
1. Tentative Tract Map 33226 is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan,
and Specific Plan 83-002, Amendment No. 6, as proposed. The Tentative
Tract Map is consistent with the Resort Mixed Use (RMU) land use
designation as set forth in the General Plan, as amended by General Plan
Amendment 2006-107, and is consistent with the Resort Mixed Use land
use designation as set forth in Specific Plan 83-002, Amendment No. 6, as
proposed. Tentative Tract Map 32266 subdivides the 42-acre site into
residential condominium sites. The RMU designation permits mixed -use
developments that include single- and multi -family residential, and
condominium development.
2. The design and improvement of Tentative Tract Map 33226 are consistent
with the La Quinta General Plan, and Specific Plan 83-002, Amendment No.
6, with the implementation of recommended conditions of approval to ensure
proper street widths, perimeter walls, and timing of their construction, as
well as adequate storm water drainage, street and other infrastructure
improvements. The Draft SEIR requires specific off -site improvements to
mitigate traffic -related impacts from this project. These improvements have
been incorporated into the approval conditions for the Project, and identified
in the Draft SEIR. The project density is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan and the PGA West Specific Plan, as amended, in that the
development density of 6.3 units per net acre is comparable to existing
residential development within PGA West, which, when based on net
density, ranges approximately between four to seven units per net acre
throughout several areas of the PGA West Specific Plan.
3. The design of Tentative Tract Map 33226 and proposed improvements are
not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, nor substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. No significant biological
resources have been identified to exist on the site. The Project site does not
contain and is not proximate to any wetland, blue -line stream, marsh, vernal
pool or other wildlife habit. The Project will not routinely use or transport
any hazardous material(s), nor are there any hazardous materials identified to
exist on the Project site. The Subsequent EIR prepared for the Project,
Resolution No. 2008-027
Tentative Tract Map 33226
Eden Rock at PGA West - Crowns Pointe Partners
April 15, 2008
Page 4
which includes Tentative Tract Map 32266, determined that there are no
significant impacts to air or water quality, biological or cultural resources,
geology and soils which can not be mitigated to less than significant levels,
with incorporation of recommended mitigation measures into the Project,
which has been required.
4. The design of Tentative Tract Map 33226 and type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems, in that this issue was
considered and addressed in the Subsequent EIR prepared for the Project.
The Project will not routinely use or transport any hazardous material(s), nor
are there any hazardous materials identified to exist on the Project site. The
Subsequent EIR prepared for the Project, which includes Tentative Tract Map
32266, determined that there are no significant impacts to air or water
quality, geology soils, or other significant health or safety -related impacts
which can not be mitigated to less than significant levels, with incorporation
of recommended mitigation measures into the Project, which has been
required.
5. The design and improvements required for Tentative Tract Map 33226 will
not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of property ,yvithin the proposed subdivision. There is an
existing portion of an easement for Avenue 56, and several utility easements
that exist on the property. These easements will be relocated, retained or
abandoned as appropriate in order to maintain public access as determined to
be necessary in context with the Project and surrounding existing
development. The project is surrounded by improved land which is not under
control of the applicant, and which, as part of its development, has
previously obtained any necessary means of access. All necessary right-of-
way for construction of off -site improvements -associated with this parcel
will be provided as required under the La Quinta General Plan and the
approval conditions of this Project.
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;

subsequent construction phase, the Planning Department shall be notified
immediately.
PALEONTOLOGY
103. On and off -site monitoring of earth -moving and grading in areas identified as
likely to contain paleontological resources shall be conducted by a qualified
paleontological monitor. The monitor shall be equipped to salvage fossils as
they are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of
sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and
vertebrates, including a program of screen washing for micro invertebrate
fossils. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment
to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Proof that a monitor has been
retained shall be given to the City prior to issuance of first earth -moving permit,
