A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING
CERTIFICATION OF A SUBSEQUENT MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 29624 TO ALLOW THE
SUBDIVISION OF 2.44 ACRES INTO 10 SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL LOTS, ONE STREET LOT, AND THREE
LANDSCAPING LOTS, LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF
ADAMS STREET, APPROXIMATELY 360 FEET NORTH OF

SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 99-382
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 28"' day of March, and the 11"' day of April, 2000, hold aduly-noticed
Public Hearing as requested by World Development on the Subsequent Environmental
Analysis for Tentative Tract Map 29624, located on the east side of Adams Street,
approximately 360 feet north of Miles Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, said Subsequent Environmental Assessment complies with
the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970" as amended, Resolution 83-63, in that the Community Development Director
has conducted an Initial Study and has determined that although the proposed
subdivision and residential units could have a significant adverse impact on the
environment, there would not be a significant effect in this case because appropriate
mitigation measures were made conditions of approval and a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact should be filed; and,
WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was
certified for EA 99-382, by Resolution No. 99-074, prepared for CUP 99-044, SDP 99-
655, and TPM 29288, for the First School of the Desert, to be developed on Parcel
1 of TPM 29288; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision is on Parcel 2 of TPM 29288; and,
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Planning Commission did find the following
facts to justify recommendation for certification of said Subsequent Environmental
Assessment:
1 . The proposed tentative tract map will not have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, with the implementation of mitigation measures, as
the noise, biology, geotechnical, hydrological, and cultural resources studies
prepared for this project did not identify any significant impacts that could not
be reasonably mitigated to levels of insignificance.

2. The proposed tentative tract map will not have the potential to achieve short
term goals to the disadvantage of long-term goals, with the successful
implementation of mitigation, as the noise, biology, geotechnical, hydrological,
and cultural resources studies prepared for this project did not identify any
significant impacts with regard to this issue.
3. The proposed tentative tract map will not have impacts which are individually
limited but cumulatively considerable when considering planned or proposed
development in the immediate vicinity, as the noise, biology, geotechnical,
hydrological, and cultural resources studies prepared for this project did not
identify any significant impacts with regard to this issue.
4. The proposed tentative tract map will not have environmental effects that will
adversely affect human, either directly or indirectly, with the implementation of
mitigation, as the noise, geotechnical, and hydrological studies prepared for this
project did not identify any significant impact with regard to the public health,
safety, or general welfare.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitutes the findings of
the Planning Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby recommend certification of the environmental determination
and mitigation measures of Subsequent Environmental Assessment 99-382 for
proposed Tentative Tract Map 29624.
