PARCEL INTO A 230-UNIT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE PGA WEST
DEVELOPMENT
CASE NO.: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 36537
APPLICANT: POINTE LARSEN, LLC
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the
3" day of December, 2013, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a
request by Pointe Larsen, LLC for consideration of a Tentative Tract Map in order
to develop a 230-unit residential project, consisting of 130 single-family detached
units, and 100 condominium units, to include a guard gatehouse and 4,086 square
foot community building, on ±42 acres located within the PGA West development,
bounded on the north and east by the PGA West Stadium Course and clubhouse,
and on the south and west by PGA Boulevard, more particularly described as:
LOT 1 AND LOT L, TRACT 29421;
PORTION OF PARCEL 7, PARCEL MAP 20426
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did,
on the 12" day of November, 2013, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
a recommendation on said Tentative Tract Map, and after hearing and considering
all testimony and arguments, did adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2013-025,
recommending to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract 36537; and,
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published a public
hearing notice in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 22, 2013, as prescribed
by the La Quinta Municipal Code, and said hearing notice having been mailed to all
property owners within the boundaries of the original PGA West Specific Plan area;
and,
WHEREAS, the La Quinta Community Development Director has determined
that the proposal is exempt from further California Environmental Quality Act
review under Section 15182 (Residential Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan). The
Community Development Director has made a Determination of Substantial
Conformance for the Signature at PGA West, with respect to the previously
approved Eden Rock at PGA West project, for which a Subsequent Environmental

Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2007061056) was certified by the La
Quinta City Council on April 15, 2008; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the
City Council did make the following mandatory findings pursuant to Section
13.12.130 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to justify City Council approval of said
Tentative Tract Map:
1. Tentative Tract Map 36537 is consistent with the Tourist Commercial land
use designation as set forth in the General Plan, and as set forth in Specific
Plan 83-002, Amendment No. 6, as approved. Tentative Tract Map 36537
subdivides the 42-acre site into residential sites. Tourist Commercial permits
residential developments that include single- and multi -family residential with
resort amenities.
2. The design and improvement of Tentative Tract Map 36537 is consistent
with the La Quinta General Plan, and Specific Plan 83-002, Amendment No.
6, with the implementation of recommended conditions of approval to ensure
proper street widths, their related improvements, and timing of their
construction, as well as adequate storm water drainage and other
infrastructure improvements. The Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report requires specific off -site improvements to mitigate traffic -related
impacts from this project. These improvements have been incorporated into
the approval conditions for the Signature project. The project density is
consistent with the La Quinta General Plan and the PGA West Specific Plan,
as amended, in that the development density of 5.48 units per acre is
comparable to existing residential development within PGA West which,
when based on net density, ranges approximately between four to seven
units per acre throughout several areas of the PGA West Specific Plan.
3. The design of Tentative Tract Map 36537 and proposed improvements are
not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, nor substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Project, which is applicable to
Tentative Tract Map 36537, determined that there are no significant impacts
to air or water quality, biological or cultural resources, geology and soils
which can not be mitigated to less than significant levels, with incorporation
of recommended mitigation measures into the Project, which has been
Resolution No. 2013-058

required.
4. The design of Tentative Tract Map 36537 and type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems, in that this issue was
considered and addressed in the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
prepared for the Project. Necessary infrastructure improvements for this
project have been partially installed within PGA West, in and around the
Tentative Tract Map 36537 project area. The health, safety and welfare of
current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended
conditions.
5. The design and improvements required for Tentative Tract Map 36537 will
not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. There is an
existing portion of an easement for Avenue 56, and certain utility easements
that exist on the property. These easements will be relocated, retained or
abandoned as appropriate in order to maintain public access as determined to
be necessary in context with the Project and surrounding existing
development. All necessary right-of-way for construction of off -site
improvements associated with this parcel will be provided as required under
the La Quinta General Plan and the approval conditions of this Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. That the above recitations are true and constitute the Findings of the
City Council in this case;
SECTION 2. That the City Council does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map
36537, for the reasons set forth in this Resolution and subject to the attached
Conditions of Approval.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City of La
Quinta City Council, held on this the 3rd day of December, 2013, by the following
