A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A.
35 SINGLE FAMILY AND OTHER COMMON LOT
SUBDIVISION ON 10.09 GROSS ACRES LOCATED
AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MILES AVENUE
AND DUNE PALMS ROAD
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 29623
APPLICANT: WORLD DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on
the 11 ~ day of July, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing for World Development
for development of a single family residential and other common lot subdivision on
10.09 acres located at the northeast corner of Miles Avenue and Dune Palms Road;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California,
did on the I 1th day of July, 2000, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing for World
Development for TTM 29623, and by a vote of 5-0 adopted Resolution 2000-044
recommending approval of the single family residential subdivision, more particularly
described as:
Assessor's Parcel No.: 604-072-004
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 for approval of said Tentative
Tract Map 29623 pursuant to Section 13.12.130 of the Subdivision Ordinance:
Finding Numbers 1 and 2 - Consistency with General Plan/Zoning Code
A. The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR). The Land Use
Element of the General Plan allows residential land uses. The project is
consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan Land
Use Element (Chapter 2) because single family low density residential lots are
proposed.
B. The proposed single family lots exceed the Zoning Ordinance minimum size
requirement of 7,200 square feet. Detached single story houses will be built as
allowed under Site Development Permit 99-656.
Resolution No. 2000-97

Page 2
Finding Number 3 - Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act:
A. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been prepared
by the Community Development Department as required by the California
Environmental Quality Act statutes. The assessment concludes that the project
will not significantly affect the environment, provided Mitigation Monitoring is
completed (EA 2000-392). In this case, project mitigation includes reduction
of noise levels through construction mitigation, and site supervision during
excavation to prevent historical subsurface features from being destroyed. All
public services occur at or adjacent to the property, making it a logical
extension of development in the City.
Finding Number 4 - Site Design:
A. The proposed design of the subdivision conforms with the development
standards found in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that lot
dimensions and size, street widths, etc. are in compliance with the Zoning
Code Development standards.
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, as the area is
relatively flat and without physical constraints, and the design of the tract ties
into existing improvements immediately north.
Finding Number 5 - Site Improvements:
A. Stormwater retention will be provided on-site in the form of a retention basin
at the southwestern corner of the tract and at the ends of the cul-de-sac.
B. All streets within the proposed tract will become public streets.. All streets will
connect to existing City streets, and will be improved to City standards.
C. Infrastructure improvements such as gas, electric, sewer and water will be
extended to service the site in underground facilities as required. No adverse
impacts have been identified based on letters of response from affected public
agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
La Quinta, California, as follows:
