WHEREAS, at said Public Meeting, said City Council did find the
following facts to justify the approval of said Tentative Tract Map First Extension
of Time:
1. That modified Tentative Tract 23773, as conditionally approved, is 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 west to the east side 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 modified Tentative Tract 23773 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 modified Tentative Tract Map 23773 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 modified Tentative Tract 23773, as conditioned, provides
for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer areas.
7. That the proposed modified Tentative Tract 23773, 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 the First Time Extension 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:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby conclude that a new Environmental Assessment is not
needed and Environmental Assessment 88-104, approved with the initial
Tentative Tract, is adequate.
