QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A TWO-YEAR
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 35060,
LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF WASHINGTON STREET,
NORTH OF AVENUE 48
TTM2018-0001 (TTM 35060)
APPLICANT: SALAMMBO LLC
APN: 643-090-024
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 17th
day of April, 2018, consider a request by Salammbo LLC for a two year extension for
Tentative Tract Map 35060; and,
WHEREAS, upon considering the requested extension of time, said City Council
did find the following facts, findings, and reasons to justify said extension of time:
1. The Tentative Tract Map and its improvement and design, are consistent with
the General Plan and Specific Plan 2006-081, as amended, in that its street
design and lots are in conformance with applicable goals, policies, and will
provide adequate infrastructure and public utilities.
2. The design of the subdivision and its proposed improvements are not likely to
create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or
their habitat because the site does not contain significant biological resources.
3. The design of the subdivision and subsequent improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems because the construction of 74 residential
units will not have considerable cumulative impacts. The project is consistent
with the General Plan, and the potential impacts associated with General Plan
buildout.
4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed types of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or
use of the property within the subdivision in that none presently exist and
access is provided within the project and to adjacent public streets.
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 for this Tentative Tract Map Extension of Time;
SECTION 2. That Tentative Tract Map 35060 (TTM 2018-0001) shall expire on March 1,
2020.
