The project is a Low Density Residential LDR) District per the provisions of the
General Plan Update allowing a density of 2 to 4 units per acre; therefore,
provisions of Land Use Element Chapter 2) are met. Specific Plan 84-004
Amendment #3) designates the site as residential which permits single family
dwellings. Tentative Tract Map 29283 is consistent with the goals, policies and
intent of the La Quinta General Plan and Specific Plan 84-004 provided
conditions contained herein are met to ensure consistency with the General
Plan, Specific Plan and mitigation of environmental consequences pursuant to
Final Environmental Impact Report No.90 Addendum).
B. The design, or improvement of, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
La Quinta General Plan and any applicable specific plans.
All designs of streets and infrastructure improvements in the project conform
to City standards contained in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance.
Access for the single family lots will be provided from internal streets planned
under this tract and Tract 28912. The density and design standards for the
tract will comply with the Land Use Element of the General Plan Chapter 2) and
the Specific Plan.
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife,
or their habitat.
The subject site is graded and is physically suitable for the proposed land
division. This project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury
to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures were completed
at the time the site was rough graded as required by SP 84-004, EIR No.90
Addendum), and Parcel Map 20469.
D. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision, as conditionally approved, will not cause serious
public health problems because they will install urban improvements based on
City, State, and Federal requirements, and Specific Plan 84-004.
E. 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.
