2. Tentative Tract No. 23813 is within the Specific
Plan No. 121-E, for which a Final Environmental
Impact report was prepared and certified by the La
Quinta City Council. A Negative Declaration was
also adopted by the La Quinta City Council for
Tentative Tract No. 14496-4, which was the previous
Tentative Tract approved for this site. The above
prior approvals contained environmental mitigation
measures which will apply to this project.
Therefore, no additional environmental review is
deemed necessary.
3. This request is a re-subdivision of Tract No.
14496-4 recorded on December 20, 1983.
4. That the subject site is linear in nature and
bordered on the east and west boundaries by golf
courses. The proposed circulation design and
single-family lot layouts, as conditioned, are
therefore suitable for the proposed land division.
S. That the name *Avenida Fernando'* is suitable for
the cul-de-sac street proposed in this Tentative
Tract.
6. That the design of the subdivision, as
conditionally approved, will be developed with
public sewers and water, and, therefore, is not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
7. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23813
will not conflict with easements acquired by the
public at large for access through the project,
since alternate easements for access and for use
have been provided that are substantially
equivalent to those previously acquired by the
public.
8. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23813, as
conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of
the landscape buffer areas.
9. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23813, as
conditioned, provides storm water retention, park
facilities, and noise mitigation.
10. That general impacts from the proposed tract were
considered within the MEA prepared and adopted in
conjunction with the La Quinta General Plan.
WHEREAS, in the review of this Tentative Tract Map,
the City Council has considered the effect of the contemplated
action on the housing needs of the region, for purposes of
balancing the needs against the public service needs of the
