CC Resolution 2000-097 RESOLUTION NO. 2000-97 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 Tentative Tract Map 29623, World Dev. August 1, 2000 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.
