CASE NO. TPM 26471 - STUART ENTERPRISES, LTD.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 25th day of June, 1991 , hold a duly noticed Public Hearing and continued
Public Hearing on the 9th of July, 1991, to consider the request of Stuart
Enterprises, Ltd. to subdivide 235+ acres into six parcels in the R-1 zone located on
the west side of Madison Street between 52nd and 53rd Avenues, more particularly
described as:
A PORTION OF SECTION 10, TOWNSHIP 6 SOUTH, RANGE 7
EAST, SAN BERNARDINO BASE AND MERIDIAN.
WHEREAS, said Tentative Map has complied with the requirements of
"The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (County
of Riverside, Resolution 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La Quinta Ordinance
No. 5) , in that the Planning Director conducted an initial study, and has determined
that the proposed Tentative Parcel Map will not have an adverse impact on the
environment; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts to justify the approval of said
Tentative Parcel Map:
1. That Tentative Parcel 26471, as conditionally approved, is generally
consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for
land use density, unit type, circulation requirements, R-1 Zoning District
development standards, and design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
2. The proposed circulation design as conditioned, are suitable for the proposed
land division.
3. That the design of Tentative Parcel Map 26471 will not cause substantial
environmental damage or injury to the wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley
Fringe-Toed Lizard.
4. That the design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will be
developed with public sewers and water, and therefore, is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
That the design of Tentative Parcel Map 26471 will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through the project, since alternate
easements for access and for use have been provided that are substantially
equivalent to those previously acquired by the public.

6. That the proposed Tentative Parcel Map 26471, as conditioned, provides for
adequate maintenance of the landscape common areas.

water retention, park facilities, and noise mitigation as the parcels are
developed.
8. That general impacts from the proposed Parcel Map were considered within the
MEA prepared and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
WHEREAS in the review of this Tentative Parcel Map, the Planning
Commission has considered the effect of the contemplated action of the housing needs
of the region for purposes of balancing the needs against the public service needs
of the residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs with available fiscal and
