#<]1. That Tentative Tract No. 24950, as amended and
conditionally approved, is generally consistent with the
goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan
for land use density, unit type, circulation
requirements, R-1 zoning district development standards,
and design requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. That the subject site has a rolling topography because of
the sand dunes with the west/central area being the
lowest part of the site. The proposed circulation design
and single-family lot layouts, as conditioned, are,
therefore, suitable for the proposed land division.
3. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 24950
Amendment *1 may cause substantial environmental damage
or injury to the wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley
Fringe-Toed Lizard, but mitigation measures in the form
of fees for a new habitat area will lessen this impact.
4. That 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. 24950
Amendment *1 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. 24950 Amendment #1,
as conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the
landscape buffer areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 24950 Amendment *1,
as conditioned, provides storm water retention, park
facilities, and noise mitigation.
8. That general impacts from the proposed tract were
considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in
conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract Map,
the City Council has considered the effect of the contemplated
action of 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:
