CC Resolution 2009-024RESOLUTION NO. 2009-024 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SUBDIVISION OF 30.2± ACRES INTO 94 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS LOTS CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT 31434 APPLICANT: MONROE DATES, LLC WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 17`" day of February, and continued to the 171h day of March, 2009, hold duly noticed Public Hearings to consider the request of MONROE DATES, LLC., for the subdivision of 30.2± acres into 94 single-family residential lots and other miscellaneous lots, located on the west side of Monroe Street at the west termination of Avenue 61, more particularly described as: APN's: 764-280-014 and 764-270-015 WHEREAS, The Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did on the 27`h day of January, 2009, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of MONROE DATES, LLC., for the subdivision of 30.2± acres into 94 single-family residential lots and other miscellaneous lots and did adopt Resolution 2009-005, recommending approval of Tentative Tract Map 31434 to the City Council; and, WHEREAS, said General Plan Amendment complies with the requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-63), in that the Planning Director has conducted an Initial Study (Environmental Assessment 2008-597) and has determined that, although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures for EA 2008- 597 incorporated into the Project approval will mitigate or reduce any potential impacts to a level of non -significance; 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 City Council did make the following Mandatory Findings to justify approval of Tentative Tract Map 31434: 1. The Tentative Tract Map and its improvement and design, are consistent with the General Plan in that its street design and lots are in conformance with applicable goals, policies, and will provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities. Resolution No. 2009-024 Tentative Tract Map 31434 Monroe Dates, LLC Adopted: March 17, 2009 Page 2 2. The design of the subdivision and its proposed improvements are not likely to create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat because the site does not contain significant biological resources. 3. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because the construction of 94 residential units will not have considerable cumulative impacts. The project is consistent with the General Plan, and the potential impacts associated with General Plan build out. 4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed types of 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 is provided within the project and to the adjacent public street (Monroe Street). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows: 1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the City Council in this case; 2. That the City Council does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 31434 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
