A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA
QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL
APPROVAL OF FINAL PARCEL MAP AND SUBDIVISION
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH PARCEL
MAP NO. 36883 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 Quirita,
California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Final Parcel Map 36883 is conditionally approved provided the
subdivider submits all required item(s) on or before November 5, 2015.

until the City Engineer has signed the map indicating that it conforms to the tentative
tract map, the Subdivision Map Act, and all ordinances of the City. .
SECTION 3. The City Engineer shall withhold his signature from the map until the
subdivider has completed the following requirement and any other requirements not
expressly described here to the City Engineer's satisfaction:
