CC Resolution 2021-020 Final TM 37359 The Centre - Conditional Approval
RESOLUTION NO. 2021 - 020
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING
CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF FINAL TRACT MAP
AND SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT
AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH TRACT MAP
NO. 37359 AND AUTHORIZING A TIME
EXTENSION FOR SATISFACTORY COMPLETION
OF THE CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO
VALIDATE THE APPROVAL
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map No. 37359 was approved by City
Council at a duly noticed public hearing held on July 3, 2018, as permitted
under the Subdivision Map Act, subject to conditions of approval; and
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.
