Residential use. The development and improvements of the lots will comply
with applicable development standards regarding setbacks, height restrictions,
density, grading, access, streets, etc.

2. The design and proposed improvements of the proposed map is consistent with
the General Plan in that the development and improvements of the lots will
comply with applicable development standards regarding setbacks, height
restrictions, density, grading, access, streets, etc.
3. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to
cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, or
wildlife, or cause serious public health problems since the project is surrounded
by development, or other urban improvements, and mitigation is required by the
Mitigated Negative Declaration EA 98-375), including noise mitigation adjacent
to Jefferson Street and 50th Avenue. This will be provided by berming, lowering
of the adjacent residential pads, and construction of garden and retaining walls.
4. The design of the proposed map or types of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems because the development of the land will
require compliance with all health related requirements including provisions for
sewers and water.
5 The design of the proposed map will not conflict with easements acquired by
the public at large, for access through, or use of, property wjthin the proposed
Map since none presently exist and new easements as needed will be provided?
and recorded.
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 approve Tentative Tract Map 29053 for the reasons set forth in
this Resolution and subject to the attached conditions.
