Finding Number 1 Consistency with General Plan:
The City's General Plan designates the subdivision as Low Density Residential 24
dwelling units per acre) which allows single family housing e.g. attached or
detached housing units). The proposed Tentative Tract Map 29121 subdivision
would increase the total lot count by 15 single family residential lots that would be
allowed by Specific Plan 83-002 Amendment 3 given the total acreage. This map
proposes lots greater than the 7,200 square feet minimum required by the RL
Zoning District. As designed, the proposed single family development of Tentative
Tract 29121 is consistent with the City's General Plan, Specific Plan 83-002
Amendment 3, and the RL Zoning District development standards.

Finding Number 2 Tract Designllmprovements
A private interior street and the proposed residential lots have been designed along
the existing golf course fairways. Design standards of the City's General Plan,
Specific Plan 83-002 Amendment 3, and Subdivision Ordinance have been included
into the project's design. Street and other infrastructure improvements are partially
installed to service the proposed subdivision, and remaining infrastructure will be
bonded for construction. Impacts associated with development of the project can
be mitigated through adherence to the recommended conditions.
Finding Number 3 Health and Safety
All necessary infrastructure improvements for this project have been partially
installed for the majority of the project area. This includes water, sewer, streets, and
other necessary improvements. The health, safety and welfare of residents is
ensured based on recommended conditions, and by previous assessment of these
issues in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for Specific Plan 83-002.
Finding Number 4 Wildlife and Habitat
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, as these issues were reviewed and mitigation identified by
the Environmental Impact Report prepared for Specific Plan 83-002.
a
Finding Number 5 Easements and Public Access
The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property
within the proposed subdivision, as the proposed subdivision is part of a larger
planned community for which these issues have been addressed.
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 constitute the findings of the City Council in
this case;
2. That it does hereby require compliance with those mitigation measures required for
