WHEREAS, The Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,

the request of KSL Recreation Corporation and its Assigns for approval of an
amendment to Conditions of Approval pertaining to required off -site street

east side of Eisenhower Drive, approximately 220 feet south of 50`h Avenue, more
particularly described as:
Portion of Section 1, Township 5 South, Range 6 East, S.B.B.M.
WHEREAS, said Parcel Map amendment request has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970" as amended by Resolution 83-68, in that this Parcel Map has been previously
assessed in conjunction with Environmental Impact Report (EIR) #41 (Specific Plan
121-e) which was certified in 1975, by the County of Riverside, and EIR Addendum
certified on June 19, 2001, by the City of La Quinta. No changed circumstances or
conditions are proposed and there is no new information which would trigger the
preparation of a subsequent environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21166, 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 Tentative Parcel Map 28334, Amendment #1:
1. The Map and its design are consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan
121-E in that its amended lots are in conformance with applicable goals,
policies, and development standards, such as lot size and will provide adequate
infrastructure and public utilities.
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 amended Map is
developed.

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 resort residential area will be provided to
surrounding property owners.
