WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, 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 justif** approval of a one-year extension of Tentative Tract 27899.
A. The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan, Zoning Code and
any applicable specific plans.
The project is located in a Low Density Residential LDR) District of the 1992 General Plan
Update that allows 24 dwelling units per acre. Tentative Tract 27899 is consistent with the
goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan provided conditions contained herein
are required to ensure among other things consistency with the General Plan and mitigation
of environmental consequences, pursuant to Environmental Assessment 88-098, are
completed.
The site is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential) which permits single family developments.
Each home site will be 7,200 square feet or larger. All plans for single family houses shall be
consistent wijh the provisions of the Zoning Code in effect at the time building permits are
acquired. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be compatible with the
surrounding area.
B. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the La Quinta
General Plan and any applicable specific plans.
All streets and improvements in the project conform to City standards of the General Plan and
Subdivision Ordinance as designed. All internal streets for the tract will be public. The
streets are all 60-foot, or 50-foot, rights-of-way. Project access to the project can take place
on Adams Street or to the east.
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed land division as approved by the
Commission and City Council in 1994. The original development plan will not cause
substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because the
previously adopted Negative Declaration of environmental impact has required mitigation
measures *A 88-098).
Before on-site grading, they shall employ a qualified archaeologist to conduct on-site research
and review to find out if prehistoric or historic remains are present. The project consultant
shall submit these findings in report form to staff The consultant's report shall indicate his
or her findings and convey any important information that we should know about the site or
its development. Monitoring shall be required during grading work.

health problems.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, and the design of
Tentative Tract 27899 *irst Time Extension) will not cause substantial environmental
damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures have been
required. The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will not cause serious
public health problems because they will install uiban improvements based on City, State, and
Federal requirements.
Noise impacts from existing and ftlture road noise on Miles Avenue and Adams Street shall
be analyzed and mitigation measures shall be employed to reduce exterior noise for those
homes along this Major Arterial street to levels consistent with Table EH-1 of Chapter 8 of
the General Plan *nvronmental Hazards Element). The applicant's fliture noise study shall
conform with the City's 1992 General Plan standards which require noise to be less than 60
dB CNEL in outdoor areas 45 dB or less for interior areas). To meet these provisions,
fencing, landscaping and other noise mitigation measures shall be employed to benefit the
fliture residents.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conllict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision.
The proposed public streets will serve all single family lots. All required public easements will
provide access to the site or support necessary infrastructure improvements.
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:
