CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF LOT DESIGN
CHANGES FOR TRACT MAP 28838-1
CASE NO.: AMENDING TRACT MAP 28838-1
APPLICANT: RIELLY HOMES
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the 130' day of April, 1999, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing for Rielly Homes
to consider design changes for lots abutting Legends Way and its intersection with
Muirfield Avenue and Troon Way in Tract 28838-1, generally located approximately
2,700-feet south of Airport Boulevard and east of Madison Street, more particularly
described as:
West % of Section 22, T6S, R7E, S.B.B.M.
WHEREAS, said amendment complies with the requirements of "The
Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended
(Resolution 83-63) in that the La Quinta Community Development Department has
determined that this request is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15305, Class
5(a): 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 amendment to Tract Map 28838-1:
1. The Map and its design are consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plans
83-002 and 90-017 in that its amended lots are in conformance with applicable
goals, policies, and development standards, such as lot size, access, etc. The
proposed lots are consistent with and will not negatively impact the overall
growth and development of PGA West. Conditions are recommended ensuring
compliance with both the PGA West Specific Plans and Zoning Code.
2. The design of the amended subdivision or its proposed improvements are not
likely to create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
wildlife or their habitat because the area covered by the amending Map have
already been mitigated.
3. The design of the amended subdivision and the proposed types of
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because
urban improvements are existing or will be installed based on applicable local,
state, and federal requirements.

4. All common landscaping lots will be privately maintained. The landscape
design complements the surrounding residential areas in that it enhances the
aesthetic and visual quality of the area.
5. The design of the amended subdivision and the proposed types of
improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large,
for access through or use of the property within the subdivision in that none
presently exist and access to the residential development. No adverse impacts
have been identified based on letters of response from affected public
agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1 . That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the Planning
Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby require compliance with those mitigation measures required
for Specific Plans 83-002 and 90-017, as amended; and
3. That it does recommend approval to the City Council of an amendment to Tract
Map 28838-1 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the
attached conditions.
