CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 30185
APPLICANT: T D DESERT DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did, on the 3Id day of September, 2002 hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
a request by T D Desert Development to subdivide ±3.62 acres into seven single-
family residential lots, one open space lot and a well site, located at the southwest
corner of Cabrillo Way and Mission Drive West within the Rancho La Quinta
Development, more particularly described as follows:
APNs: 646-331-028 and 649-460-022,
WHEREAS, said Tentative Tract Map 30185 has complied with the
requirements and rules to implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
of 1970, as amended (Resolution 83-63), in that Environmental Impact Report No. 90
for Specific Plan 84-004 (The Grove) was prepared and certified by the City Council
on November 20, 1984, under Resolution 84-77, for the overall development of the
Rancho La Quinta development. Final Environmental Impact Report No. 90 is still valid
and binding on this development request. Therefore, no changed circumstances or
conditions and no new information has been provided which would trigger the
preparation of a subsequent environmental analysis pursuant to the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statutes; and
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings of approval to justify
said Tentative Tract Map 30185:
1 . The proposed map is consistent with the City General Plan and Specific Plan
84-004 in that the property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) which
permits single-family residential uses.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
City General Plan and Specific Pan 84-004 in that all streets and improvements
in the project conform to City standards contained in the General Plan and

TO DESERT DEVELOPMENT
SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
Subdivision Ordinance as designed. All on -site streets will be private which is
consistent with Specific Plan 84-004. Access for the single-family lots will be
provided from an existing internal north/south street. The density and design
for the tract will comply with the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the
Specific Plan.
3. The design of the subdivision of the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife,
or their habitat in that the subject site is physically suitable for the proposed
land division. There currently exists development to the north, east, and south
of the site. Therefore, this project will not cause substantial environmental
damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures
were completed at the time the site was disturbed as required by Specific Plan
84-004 and Environmental Impact Report No. 90.
4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems in that the applicant of the subdivision, as
conditioned, will be required to install urban improvements based on City
requirements and be consistent with Specific Plan 84-004.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision in that there is an existing street that
will provide direct access to each single-family lot. All required public
easements will provide access to the site or support necessary infrastructure
improvements.
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
the Planning Commission for this Tentative Tract Map;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusions of Final Environmental Impact
Report No. 90, as certified by the City Council on November 20, 1984;
3. That it does recommend approval to the City Council of Tentative Tract Map
30185 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
