All written comments are on file with the Community Development Department; and WHEREAS, the Community Development Department published the public hearing notice in the Desert Sun newspaper on June 10, 2003, for the July 1, 2003 City Council meeting as prescribed by Section 13.12.100 (Public Notice Procedure) of the Subdivision Ordinance. Public hearing notices were also mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the tract map site on June 9, 2003. To date, only one letter of support from the Lake La Quinta HOA has been received; and WHEREAS, the La Quinta Community Development Department has completed Environmental Assessment 2003-473. Based upon this Assessment, the project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment; therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was posted with the Riverside County Recorder's office on May 16, 2003, as required by Section 15072 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statutes; and Resolution No. 2003-053 TTM 31289 / Jim Hayhoe Adopted: July 1, 2003 Page 2 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 10t' day of June, 2003, hold duly noticed Public Hearing to consider a request by Jim Hayhoe to create seven single-family lots on 2.33 acres located at the northeast corner of Caleo Bay and Via Florence, and on a 5- 0 vote, adopted Resolution 2003-036; and WHEREAS, at the Public Hearing upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did make the following Mandatory Findings to justify a recommendation to the City Council for approval of said Map: Finding A - Consistency with General Plan, Zoning Code and any applicable Specific Plans. The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) per General Plan Amendment 2003-092 which allows up to four residential units per acre. This project is consistent with the goals, policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan insofar as the creation of residential lots will provide for continued growth within La Quinta. The property is designated Low Density Residential (RL) by Zone Change 2003-114 and is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Element in that lots exceed the City's minimum of 7,200 square feet. Additionally, the proposed detached single family houses under Site Development Permit 2003-769 are consistent in design with other Lake La Quinta housing stock. The development of the project, as conditioned, will be compatible with the surrounding area. Finding B - Site Design and Improvements Infrastructure improvements to serve the subdivision were installed by the previous developer. Therefore, the subdivision layout is consistent with the Land Use Vision Statement in the City's General Plan, which focuses on the facilitation and integration of development, through desirable character and sensitive design residential neighborhoods to enhance the existing high quality of life. Findings C through E - Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Resolution No. 2003-053 TTM 31289 / Jim Hayhoe Adopted: July 1, 2003 Page 3 Various City Departments have determined that the proposed Map could not have a significant adverse impact on the environment provided that recommended mitigation is required pursuant to Environmental Assessment 2003-473. Finding F - Public Health Concerns The design of the proposed subdivision map and its related improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, in that responsible agencies have reviewed the project for these issues with no significant concerns being identified. The health, safety and welfare of current and future residents can be assured based on the recommended conditions, which serve to implement mitigation measures for the project and compliance with prior development plans and Parcel Map 27892. On April 18, 2003, the Coachella Valley Water District stated that site is protected from regional stormwater flows and that their agency will furnish domestic water and sanitation service to the site based on District regulations. Site improvements comply with City requirements, provided on -site water retention is handled per the Lake La Quinta Hydrology Report on file with the Public Works Department. Dust control measures shall be required during construction work as required by Chapter 6.16 of the Municipal Code. The site is physically suitable for the proposed land division, as the area is relatively flat and without physical constraints, and the Map design is consistent with other surrounding parcels. That under the City's policy for parks and recreation development, found in the City's General Plan (Chapter 5), the City's goal is to provide three (3) acres of park land per 1,000 residents pursuant to Policy 2; this project will provide payment to the City for usable open space outside the tract's boundary which is allowed pursuant to Chapter 13.48 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Finding G - Site Design (Public Easements) Public easements will be retained and required in order to construct any houses on the proposed lots, ensuring adequate facilities for future homeowners in compliance with Section 13.24.100 of the Subdivision Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California as follows: Resolution No. 2003-063 TTM 31289 / Jim Hayhoe Adopted: July 1, 2003 Page 4 1.
