A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
TENTATIVE TRACT 28640 TO ALLOW A 70-LOT SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LAND SUBDIVISION AND
MISCELLANEOUS AMENITY LOTS ON APPROXIMATELY
22.97 ACRES
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT 28640
APPLICANT: WATSON & CHRISTIANSEN ENGINEERING
(RANCHO LA QUINTA)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 13th day of January, 1998, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing and
recommended approval to the City Council, for a 22.97 acre site with 70 single family
lots and other amenity lots, generally on the east side of Washington Street, south
of Rancho La Quinta Drive, more particularly described as:
BEING A SUBDIVISION OF PORTIONS OF PARCELS 4 AND
5 OF PARCEL MAP 20469
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), in that an Environmental Assessment was conducted
for Specific Plan 84-004 (The Grove) in 1984, for the overall development of the
Rancho La Quinta development. Final Environmental Impact Report No. 90, as
amended, is still valid and binding on this development request. Therefore, no
additional environmental review is warranted; 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
Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings of approval to justify said
Tentative Tract Map 28640:
A. The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan and
any applicable specific plans.
The project is a Low Density Residential (LDR) District per the provisions of the
1992 General Plan Update; therefore, all provisions of Land Use Element
(Chapter 2) shall be met. Specific Plan 84-004 designates the site as
residential which permits single family dwellings. Tentative Tract 28640 is
consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan and
Specific Plan 84-004 (The Grove) provided conditions contained herein are met
to ensure consistency with the General Plan, Specific Plan and mitigation of
environmental consequences pursuant to Final Environmental Impact Report
No. 90 (addendum).
RESOPCM8640
Planning Commission Resolution 98-001
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 conform to City standards
contained in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance as designed. All on -
site streets will be private (32-feet wide right-of-way) which is consistent with
Specific Plan 84-004. Access for the single family lots will be provided from
an internal north/south street planned under tentative tract map. The density
and design standards for the tract will comply with the Land Use Element of
the General Plan (Chapter 2) and the Specific Plan. Special conditions are
proposed to establish design criteria for the amenity lots .
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife,
or their habitat.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed land division. The
existing golf course, adjacent to the site, was built approximately four years
ago. Therefore, this project will not cause substantial environmental damage
or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures were
completed at the time the site was disturbed as required by SP 84-004, EIR
No. 90 (Addendum), and PM 20469.
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, and Specific Plan 84-004.
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 single family
lot. All required public easements will provide access to the site or support
necessary infrastructure improvements.
WHEREAS, in the review of this tentative tract map, the Planning
Commission has considered the effect of the contemplated action or, housing needs
of the region for purposes of balancing those needs against the public service needs
of the residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs with available fiscal and
environmental resources;
