CC Resolution 1998-028^"R RESOLUTION NO.98-28
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF LA QUINTA GRANTING
CONDITIONAL FINAL MAP APPROVAL OF TRACT 28341-2, AND
AUTHORIZING A TIME EXTENSION FOR SATISFACTORY
COMPLETION OF THE CONDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO VALIDATE
THE APPROVAL
WHEREAS, the City Council conducts only two regular meetings per month
and the time interval between these meetings occasionally creates an undue
hardship for business enterprises and individuals seeking to obtain final map
approval for a subdivision map if the approval decision were delayed to a
subsequent City Council meeting, and
WHEREAS, the City Council as a matter of policy allows a subdivider to have
city staff present the map for approval consideration when the requisite documents
necessary for final map approval are nearly, but not completely, finished thus
yielding to the subdivider additional production time for preparation of those
documents which would otherwise needlessly be lost, and
WHEREAS, the subdivider has demonstrated to city staff and the City
Council that it has made sufficient progress with requisite documents necessary for
final map approval, and it is reasonable to expect the subdivider to satisfactorily
complete the documents, including city staff review time, within thirty 30) days
without adversely impacting other ongoing work commitments of city staff, and
WHEREAS, Section 66458(b) of the Subdivision Map Act grants the City
Council broad authority to authorize time extensions regarding final map approval,
or disapproval, upon receiving it for approval consideration, and
WHEREAS, the City Council relies on professional city staff to review all
documents necessary for final map approval and confirm the document
conformance with all relevant requirements, it is appropriate for the City Council to
approve the final map subject to review and confirmation of the requisite
documents, by professional city staff after the City Council meeting, within a
reasonable time frame specified by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of La Quinta does hereby find, determine,
order and resolve as follows:
Section 1. The final map for Tract 28341-2 is conditionally approved
provided the subdivider satisfies the requirements of this conditional approval, as
specified herein, on or before May 7, 1998.
