CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 28409
APPLICANTS: C.B. MURPHY AND L. R. KUNKLE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 25th day of March, 1997, hold duly noticed Public Hearing to create 19
single family lots on a 9.15-acre site, generally on the north side of Avenida
Montezuma, east of the Bear Creek Channel and west of Avenida Juarez, more
particularly described as:
Portion of the SW 1/4 of Section 1, T6E, R6E, SBBM (APN:
773-030-009 and portions of 773-030-010, 773-115-003,
and 773-151-012)
WHEREAS, said Tentative Map has complied with the requirements of
"The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as
amended (Resolution 83-63). The Community Development Department has prepared
Environmental Assessment 96-335 for this project which states the project will not
have a significant impact on the environment based on Conditions; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings of approval to justify
a recommendation for approval of said Tentative Tract Map 28409:
A. The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan,
Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance.
The property is designated Medium Density Residential (4-8 dwelling units per
acre) per the General Plan. The project density is two dwellings per acre which
is under the maximum level for the MDR District. Tentative Tract Map 28409
is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan
Land Use Element provided conditions are met.
RFSOPC90-13 /28409-13
Planning Commission Resolution 97-024
Parkland fees shall be paid to the City to develop parks within the City
pursuant to the provisions contained in the General Plan (Chapter 5) and
Subdivision Ordinance.
The site is zoned RM but subject to RC development standards per Ordinance
#294 which permits single family development on lots at least 7,200 square
feet or larger. The proposed lots are larger than 12,000 square feet and
designed for custom single family houses in compliance with City requirements.
B. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
La Quinta General Plan and any applicable specific plans.
All streets and improvements in the project, as conditioned, will conform to
City standards as outlined in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance.
All on -site streets are private and designed per the standards of the Circulation
Element (Chapter 3.0) of the General Plan. Access to the Tract will be from
Street Lot "A" on Avenida Montezuma. The density and design standards for
the Tract will comply with the Land Use Element (Chapter 2.0) of the General
Plan and Zoning Code.
C. The design of the subdivision, or the proposed improvements, are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
This previously graded site is vacant and suitable for development based on the
environmental studies prepared for the project that are on file with staff. This
project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or
wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures and Conditions are
recommended.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will not cause serious
public health problems because they will install urban improvements based on
City, State, and Federal requirements.
E. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision.
RESOPC90-H /28409-13
Planning Commission Resolution 97-024
The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each single family
lot. All required public easements will provide access to the site or support
necessary infrastructure improvements.
