A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL
APPROVAL OF THE FINAL MAP AND SUBDIVISION
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH
TRACT MAP NO. 31087 AND AUTHORIZING A TIME
EXTENSION FOR SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE
CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO VALIDATE THE
APPROVAL
WHEREAS, the City Council conducts only two regular meetings per month
and the time interval between these meetings occasionally creates an undue
hardship for business enterprises and individuals seeking approval of subdivision
maps; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, as a matter of policy, allows a subdivider to
have City staff present a map for consideration of approval when the requisite
items necessary for a final map approval are nearly, but not completely, finished
thus yielding to the subdivider additional production time for preparation of those
items; and
WHEREAS, the subdivider has demonstrated to City staff and the City
Council that it has made sufficient progress with items required for final map
approval, and it is reasonable to. expect the subdivider to satisfactorily complete the
items, including City staff review time, within thirty.. (30) days without adversely
impacting other ongoing work commitments of City staff; and
WHEREAS, Section 66458(b) of the Subdivision Map Act grants the City
Council broad authority to authorize time extensions regarding final map approval,
or disapproval, upon receiving it for consideration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council relies on City staff to review all required items
for conformance with relevant requirements, and it is therefore appropriate for the
City Council to approve the final map subject to review and confirmation of the
required items by City staff within a reasonable period of time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Final Tract Map 31087 is conditionally approved provided the
subdivider submits all required items on or before August 15, 2014.
