A. The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan, Zoning
Code. and Subdivision Ordinance.
The property is designated Mixed/Regional Commercial per the General Plan which
permits the uses proposed for the property and is consistent with the goals,
policies, and intent of the General Plan Land Use Element (Chapter 2) provided

RESOPC-90.13 /28409-13
Planning Commission Resolution 97-048
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, Subdivision Ordinance, and La Quinta
Centre Specific Plan. All on -site streets are public and designed per the
standards of the Circulation Element (Chapter 3.0) of the General Plan.
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.
The vacant site is suitable for development based on the Environmental Impact
Report prepared for this project. Development will not cause substantial
environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat provided mitigation
measures are met.
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.
The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each commercial lot.
The project will be instrumental in causing new area -wide public infrastructure
improvements to be constructed, which will benefit both existing development and
other future development, including but not limited to street improvements and
public utility improvements.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Parcel Map, the Planning
Commission has considered, the effect of the contemplated action on housing needs of
the region for purposes of balancing those needs against the public service needs of the
