A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, STATING THE INTENT RELATIVE
TO TRACT 20328 AND ALIGNMENT OF AVENUE 52
WHEREAS, on September 4, 1984, the City Council approved Tentative
Tract Map No. 20328, which provided for a subdivision design consistent
with an alignment of Avenue 52 previously adopted by Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, on April 16, 1985, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
85-36 amending said Specific Plan providing for an improved road realign-
ment of Avenue 52, which realignment was determined to be for public
health and safety purposes by providing necessary flood control improve-
ments for the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Flood Control Project; and
WHEREAS, at said meeting of April 16, 1985, the City Council also
approved Tentative Tract Map No. 20328, Revision No. 1; and
WHEREAS, on May 15, 1985, a referendum petition was filed with the
City, signed by more than 10% of the qualified electors, protesting the
adoption of Resolution No. 85-36, which amended said Specific Plan to
provide for an improved realignment of Avenue 52; and
WHEREAS, on June 5, 1985, the City Council reconsidered said
Resolution No. 85-36, but did not vote in favor of its repeal; but
rather, the City Council called a referendum election thereon for
September 17, 1985; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Council to state its position
relative to Tentative Tract Map No. 20328 and the alignment of Avenue 52.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, does
hereby RESOLVE and DECLARE as follows:
1. The City Council reaffirms its position that the realignment
of Avenue 52 between Desert Club Drive and Jefferson Street,
as provided by Resolution No. 85-36, is most beneficial to
the health, safety and welfare of the citizens, because it
accommodates more effective and less costly flood control
improvements for the City; and the City Council believes
that approval by the votes of the City of such Avenue 52
realignment is in the best interests of the residents of
the City.
2. The City Council hereby states its intent that, in the event
the electorate should disapprove the improved Avenue 52 align-
ment, the prior approved Specific Plan alignment shall become
effective and a revised tentative tract map, consistent with
said earlier Specific Plan and the previous approval of
Tentative Tract Map No. 20328, shall be processed forthwith.
