#< WHEREAS, mitigation of various physical impacts
have been identified and incorporated into the approval
conditions for Tentative Tract 23519, Minor Change *1, thereby
requiring that monitoring of those mitigation measures be
undertaken to assure compliance with them; and,
WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be
heard, said City Council did find the following facts to
justify approval of Tentative Tract 23519, Minor Change #1:
1. That Tentative Tract No. 23519, 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 overall slope going from the
western to the eastern Bide of the property. The
proposed circulation design and single-family lot
layouts, as conditioned, are, therefore, suitable for the
proposed land division.
3. That the design of amended Tentative Tract Map No. 23519
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 amended 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 amended design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23519
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 amended Tentative Tract No. 23519, as
conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the
landscape buffer areas.
7. That the proposed amended Tentative Tract No. 23519, as
conditioned, provides storm water retention, park
facilities, and noise mitigation.
8. That general impacts from the amended proposed tract were
considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in
conjunction with the La Quinta General plan.
