A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
OF TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 27899 TO ALLOW THE
CREATION OF A LAND SALES SUBDIVISION ON A
30+ ACRE SITE.
CASE NO. TT 27899 - SANTA ROSA DEVELOPERS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La
quinta, California, did, on the llth day of January, 1994, hold a
duly -noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of Santa Rosa
Developers to approve Tentative Tract 27899, generally located at
the southeast corner of Miles Avenue and Adams Street, more
particularly described as:
THE SOUTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF THE
NORTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWEST
ONE -QUARTER AND THE NORTHWEST ONE -QUARTER
OF THE SOUTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF THE
SOUTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF SECTION 20,
TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 7 EAST, SAN
BERNARDINO BASE AND MERIDIAN; AND
THE NORTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF THE
NORTHWEST ONE -QUARTER OF THE SOUTHWEST
ONE -QUARTER OF SECTION 20, TOWNSHIP 5
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
No. 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La Quinta Ordinance No.
5), in that the Planning Director previously conducted an initial
study in 1988, and previously assessed 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 incorporated into the approval conditions for
tentative tract 27899, 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 ;ommission did find the
following facts to justify the recommendation for approval of
Tentative Tract 27899.
RERDPc.001
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 94-001
1. That Tentative tract No. 27899 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. That the subject site has a rolling topography because of the
sand dunes, with the overall slope going from the western to
the eastern side of the property. The proposed circulation
design and single-family lot layouts, as conditioned, are,
therefore, suitable for the proposed land division.
3. That the design of Tentative tract Map 27899 may cause
substantial environmental damage or injury to the wildlife
habitat of the Coachella Valley Fringe -Toed Lizard, but
mitigation measures in the form of fees for a new habitat area
will lessen this impact.
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.
5. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 27899 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 No. 27899, as conditioned,
provides for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer
areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 27899, as conditioned,
provides storm water retention, park facilities, and noise
mitigation.
B. 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 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;

The City shall retain a qualified archaeologist, with the Developer to pay
costs, to prepare a mitigation and monitoring plan for artifact location and
recovery. Prior archaeological studies for this site as well as other
unrecorded information, shall be analyzed prior to the preparation of the
plan.
The plan shall be submitted to the Planning and development Department for
a two -week review and comment period. At a minimum, the plan shall: 1)
identify the means for testing archaeological sites; 2) allow sharing of
information with the City; 3) provide for further testing if the preliminary
results show significant cultural deposits are present; and 4) require the
curation of all recovered cultural material with the City through a Deed of Gift
agreement.
Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permit, the developer shall have retained
a qualified cultural resources management firm and completed the testing and
data recovery as noted in the plan. The management firm shall monitor the
grading activity as required by the plan or recommendations resulting from
the testing activities.
A list of the qualified archaeological monitor(s), cultural resources
management firm employees, and any assistant (s) / representative (s) , shall be
