A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 9.1
ACRES INTO FOUR SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE AND ONE
LETTERED STREET LOTS LOCATED AT THE
NORTHERNMOST TERMINUS OF KIRK COURT,
APPROXIMATELY 659 FEET NORTH OF AVENUE 58
CASE: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 29963
APPLICANT: DR. AND MRS. BRUCE BAUMANN
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California
did, on the 13`h day of November, 2001, and 11`h day of December, 2001, and 81h day
of January, 2002, hold duly noticed Public Hearings to consider a request by the
Baumann Family to create four single family and one lettered street lots on 9.1 acres
located at the northerly terminus of Kirk Court in an Low Density Residential (RL)
Zoning District, more particularly described as:
Parcels 1 & 2 of Parcel Map 8843, including portions of Kirk Court;
APN: 762-240-007 and -008
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Community Development Department has
completed Environmental Assessment 2001-415. Based upon this assessment, the
project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment; therefore, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended.
WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning
Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings to justify a recommendation
to the City Council for approval of said Map:
Finding A - Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and any applicable Specific
Plan
The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR). The Land Use Element of
the General Plan encourages differing residential developments throughout the City.
This project is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General

Plan insofar as the creation of estate residential lots (0.43 dwelling units per acre) will
provide another type of housing market for La Quinta residents while not exceeding
the City's maximum density of four units per acre. Concerning the construction of
Kirk Court to its ultimate width, Conditions are recommended requiring two lanes of
paving from the site to Avenue 58 and obligations for expansion of Avenue 58 to its
ultimate width based on the City's General Plan Circulation Element provisions.
The property is designated Low Density Residential (RQ and is consistent with the
City's General Plan Land Use Element. The estate lots exceed the City's minimum of
7,200 square feet. No houses are proposed for the project under this application.
All plans for future single family homes shall be consistent with the provisions of the
Zoning Code in effect at the time building permits are acquired. The development of
the project, as conditioned, will be compatible with the surrounding area.
Finding B - Site Design and Improvements
Infrastructure improvements to serve this project are located in the immediate area and
will be extended based on the recommended Conditions of Approval. Extending Kirk
Court to the north will not adversely impact surrounding areas nor impact
implementation of Section 13.24.070(F) of the Subdivision Ordinance in that flag lots
would be required to serve the newly created lots which is not a preferred alternative
for Fire Department serve needs. The private street cul-de-sac bulb extension will
provide street frontages for the future houses that meet Zoning Code requirements,
as prepared.
Improvements on Avenue 58 will be guaranteed as required by the City's General Plan
Circulation Element at the time the final map is considered pursuant to Section
13.20.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental Qaulity Act
Various environmental studies were prepared for this project, and after careful
evaluations, the Historic Preservation Commission and various City Departments have
determined that the proposed Map could not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment provided that recommended mitigation is required pursuant to
Environmental Assessment 2001-415.

Finding - Public Health Concerns
The design of the proposed subdivision map and related improvements are not likely
to cause serious public health problems, in that responsible agencies have reviewed
the project for these issues with no significant concerns identified. The health, safety
and welfare of current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended
conditions, which serve to implement mitigation measures for the project.
Site improvements comply with City requirements, provided on -site water retention
is handled on the private lots, or a common basin. Dust control measures shall be
required during any further on -site construction work as required by Chapter 6.16 of
the Municipal Code. The site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, as
the area is flat and without physical constraints, and the Map is consistent with other
surrounding parcels.
Finding - Site Design (Public Easements)
Public easements will be retained and required in order to construct any houses on the
proposed lots, ensuring adequate facilities for future homeowners in compliance with
Section 13.24.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
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 correct and constitute the findings of
said Planning Commission in this case;
2. That it does hereby recommend to the City Council certification of
Environmental Assessment 2001-415 in that no significant effects on the
environment were identified, provided mitigation measures are met; and
3. That it does hereby recommend approval of the above -described Tentative Tract
Map 29963, for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the
attached Conditions of Approval.
