A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA,
RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
THE SUBDIVISION OF 2.58 ACRES INTO 8 RESIDENTIAL
LOTS AND MISCELLANEOUS LOTS
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT 33801
BLAKE JUMPER
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta,
California, did on the 281h day of March, 2006, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing
to consider the request of Blake Jumper for the subdivision of 2.58 acres into 8
single-family residential lots and other miscellaneous lots, located on the west side
of Madison Street approximately 500 feet north of Avenue 60, more particularly
described as:
APN 766-080-009
WHEREAS, said Tentative Tract Map has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970" as amended (Resolution 83-63) in that the La Quinta Community
Development Department has prepared Environmental Assessment 2005-546 for
this Tentative Tract Map in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended. The Community Development
Director has determined that the project will not have a significant adverse impact
on the environment and therefore, is recommending a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impact be certified; 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 Tract Map 33801:
1 . The Tentative Tract Map and its improvement and design, as recommended,
are consistent with the General Plan in that its street design and 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 subdivision and its proposed improvements are not likely
to create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife
or their habitat because mitigation measures and conditions have been
incorporated into the project approval to mitigate impacts where needed.
Planning Commission Resolution 2006-014
Tentative Tract Map 33801
Blake Jumper
Adopted: March 28, 2006
3. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems because urban infrastructure
improvements are existing, or will be installed based on applicable local,
State, and Federal requirements.
4. The design of the revised 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
adjacent public streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the honorable Planning
Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the findings of the
Planning Commission in this case;
2. That the Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of Tentative
Tract Map 33801 to the City Council for the reasons set forth in this
Resolution, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La
Quinta Planning Commission, held on this 281h day of March, 2006, by the
following vote, to wit:
AYES: Commissioners Alderson, Barrows, Daniels, Ladner, and Acting
Chairman Quill

34. Building pad elevations of perimeter lots shall not differ by more than one foot
higher from the building pads in adjacent developments or as required by the
Public Works Department in the plan review process.
Where compliance within the above stated limits is impractical, the City may
consider alternatives that are shown to minimize safety concerns, maintenance
difficulties and neighboring -owner dissatisfaction with the grade differential.
35. Prior to any site grading or regrading that will raise or lower any portion of the
site by more than plus or minus three tenths of a foot from the elevations
shown on the approved Tentative Tract Map, the applicant shall submit the
proposed grading changes to the City Staff for a substantial conformance

high points. The applicant must provide either on -site retention or alternative
facilities of diversion/pass through, if selected. Historical flow paths should be
identified and routing provided in the hydrology analysis equivalent to historical
flow direction. As local topography allows, tributary areas may exceed limits of
property lines adjacent to public roads. The 100-year storm shall be the
governing event in the designer's evaluation.
40. In design of retention facilities, the maximum percolation rate shall be two
inches per hour. The percolation rate will be considered to be zero unless the
