CREATION OF A LAND SALES SUBDIVISION ON A
70+ ACRE SITE.
CASE NO. TT 23971 DEANE HOMES AND/OR THOMAS THORNBURGH
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La
Quinta, California, did, on the 14th day of February, 1989,
hold a duly-noticed Public Hearing to consider the request of
Deane Homes and/or Thomas Thornburgh to subdivide 70+ acres
into single-family development lots for sale, generally located
at the northeast corner of Washington Street and Miles Avenue,
more particularly described as:
A PORTION OF THE NORTHWEST AND NORTHEAST
QUARTER OF SECTION 10, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH,
RANGE 7 EAST, SAN BERNARDINO BASE
MERIDIAN.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta,
California, did, on the 7th day of March, 1989, hold a
duly-noticed Public Hearing to consider the Applicant's request
and recommendation of the Planning Commission concerning the
environmental analysis and Tentative Tract Map No. 23971; and
WHEREAS, said tentative map has complied with the
requirements of The Rules to Implement the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970" County of Riverside,
Resolution No. 82-213, adopted by reference in City of La
Quinta Ordinance No. 5), in that the Planning Director
conducted an initial study, and has determined that the
proposed tentative tract will not have a significant adverse
impact on the environment; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and
considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all
interested persons desiring to be heard, said City Council did
find the following facts to justify the approval of said
tentative tract map:
1. That Tentative Tract No. 23971, as conditionally
approved, is generally consistent with the goals,
policies and intent of the La Quinta General Plan for
land use density, unit type, circulation requirements,
R-l zoning district development standards, and design
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.

^#82. That the subject site has a rolling topography because of
the sand dunes, with the overall slope going from the
west to the east side of the property. The proposed
circulation design and single-family lot layouts, as
conditioned, are, therefore, suitable for the proposed
land division.
3. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23971 may
cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the
wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed
Lizard, but mitigation measures in the form of fees for a
new habitat area will lessen this impact.
4. 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.
5. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 23971 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.
6. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23971, as
conditioned, provides for adequate maintenance of the
landscape buffer areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract No. 23971, as
conditioned, provides storm water retention, park
facilities, and noise mitigation.
8. 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 of the housing needs of the region, for purposes of
balancing the needs against the public service needs of the
residents of the City of La Quinta and its environs with
available fiscal and environmental resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and
constitute the findings of the Council in this case;
2. That it does hereby confirm the conclusion of
Environmental Assessment No. 88-107 relative to the
environmental concerns of this tentative tract;
