A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL CONCURRENCE WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND APPROVAL OF
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 26768 TO CREATE SINGLE
FAMILY LOTS ON A 20+ ACRE SITE.
CASE NO. TT 26768 - BESTCO INVESTMENTS, INC.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the loth day of March, 1992 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by BESTCO Investments for approval of a subdivision of approximately 20
acres into 21 lots, and other miscellaneous lots, generally located on the west side
of Monroe Street approximately 1/4 mile north of Airport Boulevard, more
particularly described as:
PORTION OF THE SOUTH ONE-HALF OF
SECTION 15, T.6.S., R.7.E., S.B.B.M.
(APN 767-330-007 & 008)
WHEREAS, said tentative map has complied with the requirements of the
"The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as
amended) and adopted by the City Council Resolution 83-68. The Planning Director
conducted an initial study, and has determined that the proposed tentative tract will
not have a significant adverse impact on the environment; and,
WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts have been identified
and will be incorporated into the approval conditions for Tentative Tract 26768 in
conjunction with this tentative tract, thereby retaining that monitoring of those
mitigation measures be undertaken to assure compliance with them; 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 recommendation for
approval of said tentative tract map:
That Tentative Tract 26768, as conditionally recommended, 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 20,000 zoning
district development standards, and design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
That the subject site is undeveloped at this time. The proposed circulation
design and single family lot layouts are consistent with typical R-1 20,000
subdivisions as conditioned, therefore suitable for the proposed land division.
RESOPC.067
3. That the design of Tentative Tract 26768 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 recommended, will not
impact the existing public sewers and water improvements, and therefore, is
not likely to cause serious public health problems.
5. That the design of Tentative Tract 26768 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 Tract 26768, as recommended, provides for
adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer areas and provides storm water
retention.
7. That general impacts from the proposed tract were considered within the MEA
prepared and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
8. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for this case in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract 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
environmental resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California as follows:
1 . That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of the Environmental Assessment
relative to the environmental concerns of this tentative tract;
3. That it does hereby recommend approval of the subject Tentative Tract 26768
for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
conditions.
