TO ALLOW THE CREATION OF A 65 LOT SUBDIVISION ON A
48.4 ACRE SITE.
CASE NO. TT 27728 - WINCHESTER ASSET MANAGEMENT
(FOR LA QUINTA GOLF PROPERTIES)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 27th day of April, 1993, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Winchester Asset Management (for La Quinta Golf Properties) to subdivide 48.4 acres into 65
single family custom home lots in the Hillside Conservation zone (R-1 20,000 proposed), located
at the westerly terminus of Schwabaker Road, more particularly described as:
A PORTION OF THE NORTH HALF OF
SECTION 29, T6S, R7E, SBBM
WHEREAS, said Tentative Map has complied with the requirements of "The
Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as amended), and
adopted by City Council Resolution 83-68, in that the Planning Director has conducted an initial
study, and has determined that the proposed Tentative Tract Map will not have a significant
adverse impact on the environment. A Negative Declaration was considered by the Planning
Commission of the City of La Quinta; and,
WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts have been identified and
incorporated into the approval conditions for Tentative Tract 27728, thereby requiring 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 27728, 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.
RESOPC.100 1
2. The proposed circulation design and single family lot layouts, as conditioned are suitable
for the proposed land division.
3. 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.
4. That the design of Tentative Tract 27728 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.
5. That the proposed Tentative Tract Map 27728, as conditioned, provides for adequate
maintenance of the landscape common areas.
6. That the proposed Tentative Tract 27728, as conditioned, provides storm water retention,
and park facilities.
7. That general impacts from the proposed Tract were considered within the MEA prepared
and adopted in conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract, 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 constitute the findings of the Commission in this
case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of Environmental Assessment 93-255, relative
to the environmental concerns of this Tentative Tract.
3. That it does hereby recommend approval to the City Council for the subject Tentative
Tract 27728 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
