A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVAL OF A 35 SINGLE FAMILY AND OTHER
COMMON LOT SUBDIVISION ON 10.09 GROSS
ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF MILES AVENUE AND DUNE PALMS ROAD.
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 29623
APPLICANT: WORLD DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did
on the 11" day of July, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing for World Development
for development of a single family residential and other common lot subdivision on 10.09
acres located at the northeast corner of Miles Avenue and Dune Palms Road, more
particularly described as:
Assessor's Parcel No.: 604-072-004
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 recommending approval
of said Tentative Tract Map 29623 pursuant to Section 13.12.130 of the Subdivision
Ordinance:
Finding Number 1 - Consistency with General Plan/Zoning Code
A. The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR). The Land Use Element
of the General Plan allows residential land uses. The project is consistent with the
goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan Land Use Element (Chapter
2) because single family low density residential lots are proposed.
B. The proposed single family lots exceed the Zoning Ordinance minimum size
requirement of 7,200 square feet. Detached single story houses will be built as
allowed under Site Development Permit 99-656.
Finding Number 3 - Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act:
A. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been prepared by
the Community Development Department as required by the California
Environmental Quality Act statutes. The assessment concludes that the project will
not significantly affect the environment, provided Mitigation Monitoring is completed
(EA 2000-392). In this case, project mitigation includes reduction of noise levels
through construction mitigation, and site supervision during excavation to prevent
historical subsurface features from being destroyed. All public services occur at or
adjacent to the property, making it a logical extension of development in the City.
Planning Commission Resolution 2000-044

July 11, 2000
Finding Number 4 - Site Design:
A. The proposed design of the subdivision conforms with the development standards
found in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that lot dimensions and size,
street widths, etc. are in compliance with the Zoning Code Development standards.
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, as the area is relatively
flat and without physical constraints, and the design of the tract ties into existing
improvements immediately north.
Finding Number 5 - Site Improvements:
A. Stormwater retention will be provided on -site in the form of a retention basin at the
southwestern corner of the tract and at the ends of the cul-de-sac.
B. All streets within the proposed tract will become public streets. All streets will
connect to existing City streets, and will be improved to City standards.
C. Infrastructure improvements such as gas, electric, sewer and water will be extended
to service the site in underground facilities as required. 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:
That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the Planning
Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby certify the conclusions of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
(Environmental Assessment 2000-392) for this Tentative Tract; and,
That it does recommend approval to the City Council of Tentative Tract Map 29623
or the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta
Planning Commission held on this 11th day of July, 2000, by the following vote, to wit:
