The proposed map is consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan. The project is a Very Low Density Residential (LDR) District per the provisions of the 2002 General Plan Update. Tentative Tract 30378 is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan provided conditions contained herein are met to ensure consistency with the General Plan, and mitigation measures pursuant to Environmental Assessment 2002-441. The density and design standards for the tract will comply with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Resolution No. 2002-96 Tentative Tract Map 30378 Adopted June 18, 2002 Page 2 B. The design, or improvement of, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan and the Subdivision Ordinance. All streets and improvements in the project conform to City standards contained in the General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance as designed. All on - site streets will be private (60-feet wide right-of-way). Access for the single family lots will be provided from an internal north/south street planned under tentative tract map. 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 physically suitable for the proposed land division. Therefore, this project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife, or their habitat because mitigation measures D.

The design of the lot, or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the Fire Marshall, Sheriff's Department, and the City's Building and Safety Department have reviewed the proposal for public health conditions and the project is conditioned as appropriate. G. The design of the lot, 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 in that the proposed internal streets will be privately owned and maintained, and that there will be no publicly -owned improvements within the tentative tract map.
