1. That Tentative Tract 24545, as conditionally approved, is
generally consistent with the goals1 policies and intent
of the La Quinta General Plan, in that the proposal
complies with the requirements, R-2 zoning district
development standards, and design requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance.
2. That the topography of the site is suitable for the
proposed land division, circulation design, and
single-family lot layouts.
3. That the design of Tentative Tract Map 24545 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 24545 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 24545, as conditioned,
provided for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer
areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract 24545, as conditioned,
provided storm water retention, park facilities, and
noise mitigation.
9. That general impacts from the proposed tract were
considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in
conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan and the prior
EIR with addendum.
9. That the Development Agreement is still valid for the
Specific Plan of which this Tract is a part.
WHEREAS, in the review of the original Tentative
Tract Map and this Time Extension request, 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.
