("Map Act"), with reference to the following: DIRECTOR'S HEARING RESOLUTION NO. 2025-002 AMENDED FINAL TRACT MAP 2025-0001 (TTM 33597, AMENDMENT NO. 1) PROJECT: MALAGA APPLICANT: DESERT HOME INVESTORS #1 LOCATION: SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MADISON STREET AND AVENUE 60 ADOPTED: NOVEMBER 3, 2025 PAGE 2 of 6 • La Quinta Municipal Code Section 13.20.115(B), states an amendment to the Final Map may be based on the criteria in Government Code Section 66472.1 of the Map Act when, as here, the request to amend the Final Map conforms with the provisions in Government Code Section 66472.1 which provides that, if there are "changes in circumstances that make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary and that the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the fee owners of the real property, and if the modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map, and the local agency finds that the map as modified conforms to Section 66474[J" then the Final Map may be amended. Here, previous Conditions of Approval are no longer necessary as the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan has been amended to no longer identify a segment of Madison Street, south of Avenue 60, as a General Plan secondary arterial roadway. As such, the applicant is requesting the removal of the requirement to construct Madison Street improvements as originally set forth in the Conditions of Approval. Additionally, the Conditions of Approval will be amended to designate the portions of the property as Right -of -Way and Open Space as easements reserved for public safety, public utilities, and for access by public agencies needing to access the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Dike No. 4. The modifications of the Conditions of Approval as requested by the Applicant do not impose any additional burdens on the existing fee owners, and does not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property. None of the provisions in Government Code Section 66474 apply that would prohibit the approval of the Final Map as amended, and the public hearing was confined to the consideration of, and action on, the modification to the Conditions of Approval as requested by the Applicant. Therefore, all of the criteria in Government Code Section 66472.1 of the Map Act have been satisfied. WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the City of La Quinta City Council on July 5, 2005, under Environmental Assessment 2005-541. The Design and Development Department has determined that the proposed project is consistent with this previously approved project, as no changes to the map itself are proposed; and WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Design and Development Director confirmed it has met all requirements from La Quinta Municipal Code Chapter 13.20 Final Maps and Parcel Maps. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Design and Development Director of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows: DIRECTOR'S HEARING RESOLUTION NO. 2025-002 AMENDED FINAL TRACT MAP 2025-0001 (TTM 33597, AMENDMENT NO. 1) PROJECT: MALAGA APPLICANT: DESERT HOME INVESTORS #1 LOCATION: SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MADISON STREET AND AVENUE 60 ADOPTED: NOVEMBER 3, 2025 PAGE 3 of 6 SECTION 1.
