The Planning Commission, on a 3-1 vote, adopted Resolution 2000-029, recommending approval of the subdivision request, more particularly described as: Assessor's Parcel Number 604-061-01 9 (Portion); Portion of SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 20, Township 5 South, Range 7 East, San Bernardino Base and Meridian, County of Riverside, California WHEREAS, said Environmental Assessment 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 Community Development Director has conducted an Initial Study (Environmental Assessment 99-391) and determined that although the proposed project will impact on the environment, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will be filed. 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 approve Tentative Tract Map 29563: ' A. The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan, Zoning Code, and Subdivision Ordinance. Resolution No, 2000-62 Tentative Tract Map 29563 June 6, 2000 Page 2 The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) by the General Plan Land Use Element (Chapter 2.0) permitting single family projects of two to four units per acre pursuant to Policy 2-1.1.5. The proposed density is less than four dwelling units per acre. The RL District (Low Density Residential) permits single family housing, provided lots are 7,200 square feet or larger unless a specific plan is prepared. Proposed lots are greater than 7,200 square feet as required by Section 9.30.030 of the Zoning Ordinance. Conditions are recommended to insure compliance with City Code requirements. B. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan. All streets and improvements in the project, as conditioned, will conform to City standards as outlined in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance. All on-site streets are private and designed in accordance with Chapter 3.0 of the General Plan Circulation Element. Decorative perimeter fencing shall be constructed for the development consistent with Policy 3.4.1.14 of the General Plan, including open view fencing to lessen effect of the walled community adjacent to the retention basin. C. The design of the subdivision, or the proposed improvements, are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project is suitable for Low Density Residential development based on the recommendations of Environmental Assessment 99-391. Development will not cause substantial environmental damage, or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat provided mitigation measures are met. Urban improvements are adjoining the property making it conducive for residential development. D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. A retention basin is proposed to contain on-site water flows created by seasonal rains. The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will not cause serious public health problems because they will install urban improvements based on City, State, and Federal requirements. Resolution No. 2000-62 Tentative Tract Map 29563 June 6, 2000 Page 3 Infrastructure improvements will be extended to serve the project if not readily adjacent to the site. New improvements required for this project will be compatible with the development improvements to the north and south. E. 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. The proposed streets are planned to provide direct access to each residential lot. The project will be instrumental in causing new area-wide public infrastructure improvements to be constructed, which will benefit both existing development and other future development, including, but not limited to street improvements and public utility improvements. The design of Tentative Tract Map 29563 will not conflict with existing public easements, as the project has been designed around, and with consideration for, these easements. 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 correct and constitute the findings of the City Council in this case; 2. That it does hereby certify Environmental Assessment 99-391 for reasons set forth in this Resolution, subject to the attached Mitigation Measures; and 3. That it does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map 29563 for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.
