requirements, the R-2-7000 zoning district development
standards, and design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
2. That the subject site is generally level. The proposed
circulation design and single-family lot and multi-family
lot layouts are, therefore, suitable for the proposed
land division.
3. That the development of Tentative Tract Map No. 23292 is
not within any fish or wildlife habitat area and,
therefore, is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife or
their habitat.
4. The the design of the subdivision, as conditionally
approved, will be developed with public sewers and water
and, therefore, is not likely to cause serious public
health problems.
5. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23292 will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large,
for access through the project, since alternate easements
for access and for use have been provided that are
substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by
the public.
6. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23292, as
conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of private
streets, landscape buffer areas, and common lots.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23292, as
conditioned, provides storm water retention, park
facilities, and noise mitigation.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract Map,
the City Council has considered the effect of the contemplated
action on the housing needs of the region for purposes of
balancing the needs against the public service needs of the
residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs, with
available fiscal and environmental resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion that the
previous Environmental Impact Report for Duna La Quinta
Specific Plan assessed the environmental concerns of this
Tentative Tract;
