A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF A SUBDIVISION OF
2.33 ACRES INTO SEVEN SINGLE FAMILY LOTS LOCATED
AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF CALEO BAY AND VIA
FLORENCE
CASE: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 31289
APPLICANT: JIM HAYHOE FOR MIKE LANG
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California
did, on the 101h day of June, 2003, hold duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Jim Hayhoe for Mike Lang (Lang Property Holdings) to create seven single
family lots on 2.33 acres located at the northeast corner of Caleo Bay and Via Florence
in a Low Density Residential Zoning District, more particularly described as:
Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 643-200-009 to -011
Parcels 9-11 of Parcel Map 27892
Portion Section 30, T5S, R7E, SBBM
WHEREAS, on April 8, 2003, the Community Development Department
mailed case file materials to all affected agencies for their review and comment. All
written comments are on file with the Community Development Department; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published the Public
Hearing notice in the Desert Sun newspaper on May 21, 2003, for the June 10, 2003
Planning Commission meeting as prescribed by Section 13.12.100 (Public Notice
Procedure) of the Subdivision Ordinance. Notices were also mailed to all property
owners within 500 feet of the tract map site on May 15, 2003. To date, only a letter
of support from the Lake La Quinta HOA has been received; and
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Community Development Department has
completed Environmental Assessment 2003-473. Based upon this Assessment, the
project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment; therefore, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted with the Riverside County Recorder's office
on May 16, 2003, as required by Section 15072 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) statutes; and
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
Plans.
The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) per General Plan Amendment
2003-092 which allows up to four residential units per acre. 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 residential lots will provide for continued growth within
La Quinta.
The property is zoned Low Density Residential (RL) by Zone Change 2003-114 and is
consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Element in that lots exceed the City's
minimum of 7,200 square feet. Additionally, the proposed detached single family
houses under Site Development Permit 2003-769 are consistent in design with other
Lake La Quinta housing stock. The development of the project, as conditioned, will
be compatible with the surrounding area.
Site Design and Improvements
Infrastructure improvements to serve the subdivision were installed by the previous
developer. The proposed seven individual driveways on Caleo Bay have been
determined to be properly spaced, and will not impede traffic movement. In summary,
adding this project to the Lake La Quinta development will establish a land use density
of 2.7 dwelling units per acre which is within the LDR category range.
Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
The proposed tract map could not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment provided that recommended mitigation is required pursuant to
Environmental Assessment 2003-473.
Finding F - Public Health Concerns
The design of the proposed subdivision map and its related improvements are not likely
P:\PC Reso & COA\June 10, 2003\ResoPC T31289Hayhoe.wpd - Greg
Planning Commission Resolution 2003.036
Tentative Tract Map 31289, Jim Hayhoe
Adopted: June 10, 2003

to cause serious public health problems, in that responsible agencies have reviewed
the project for these issues with no significant concerns being 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 underlying
subdivision maps. On April 18, 2003, the Coachella Valley Water District stated that
site is protected from regional stormwater flows and that their agency will furnish
domestic water and sanitation service to the site based on District regulations.
Site improvements comply with City requirements, provided on -site water retention is
handled per the Lake La Quinta Hydrology Report on file with the Public Works
Department. Dust control measures shall be required during 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 relatively flat and without physical constraints,
and the Map design is consistent with other surrounding parcels. As planned, lot sizes
average twice the minimum size required by the.RL Zone District requirements.
That under the City's policy for parks and recreation development, found in the City's
General Plan (Chapter 5), the City's goal is to provide three (3) acres of park land per
1,000 residents pursuant to Policy 2; this project will provide payment to the City for
usable open space outside the tract's boundary which is allowed pursuant to Chapter
13.48 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Finding G - Site Design (Public Easements)
Public easements will be retained 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 2003-473 in that no significant effects on the
environment were identified, provided mitigation measures are met; and
