A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LA QUINTA DIRECTING THAT IMPACT
MITIGATION FEES PAID TO DESERT SANDS
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT BE SPENT FOR
SCHOOLS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF INDIO.
WHEREAS, on March 6, 1984 this City Council adopted
Resolution No. 84-14 providing for mitigation of school impaction
by new residential developments on the Desert Sands Unified School
District; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said Resolution No. 84-14, the City
Council established a policy whereby certain new residential
development within the City shall not be approved unless and
until its' developers and said school district have agreed in
writing to a means by which the i?paction caused by the construction
and occupation of such project will be adequately mitigated; and
that no building permit shall be issued for such new development
of a residential unit unless and until the applicant provides
evidence of payment to said school district of the amount determined
by the district as necessary to mitigate school impaction caused
by such development; and
WHEREAS, resolutions similar to La Quinta Resolution No. 84-14,
providing for mitigation of local school impaction, have been
adopted by other cities and the County within the Desert Sands
Unified School District, including the cities of Indian Wells,
Palm Desert, and Rancho Mirage, but no such similar resolution
or policy determination has been adopted by the City of Indio; and
WHEREAS, inasmuch as the City of Indio has chosen not to
provide for itigation of school impaction on the Desert Sands
Unified School District, it would be inherently unfair and
inequitable for mitigation fees an? funds obtained from development
within the cooperating cities and County to be spent on and for
schools located within the City of Indio;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of La Quinta as follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds, determines and establishes
the policy that no funds paid to the Desert Sands Unified School
District in mitigation of school impaction caused by development
within the City of La Quinta, pursuant to Resolution No. 84-14,
shall in any way be spent or disbursed to or for the benefit of
elementary or secondary school? located within the jurisdictional
boundaries or sphere of influence of the City of Indio, unless and
until the City of Indio establishes a policy similar to Resolution
No. 84-14
