study, as required by the approval conditions for Specific Plan 121-E, Revised, as

WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said

of the Subdivision Ordinance to justify recommendation for approval of said reversion
to acreage request:
1. Dedications or offers of dedications to be vacated or abandoned by the reversion
to acreage are unnecessary because the Tract configuration is no longer in
existence.

City of La Quinta, California as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and current and constitute the findings of the

previously adopted;

described Tentative Tract Map 28335-R, for the reasons set forth in this
Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.
