A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL
APPROVAL OF FINAL MAP AND SUBDIVISION
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH
AMENDED TRACT MAP NO. 32742 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 Amended Final Tract Map 32742 is conditionally approved
provided the subdivider submits all required items on or before March 5, 2015.

tentative tract map, the Subdivision Map Act, and all ordinances of the City.

subdivider has completed the following requirements and any.other requirements
not expressly described here to the City Engineer's satisfaction:
