#; 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. The Tentative Tract 25154, as conditionally approved, is
generally consistent with the goals, policies and intent
of the La Quinta General Plan for land use density,
circulation requirements, R-l zoning district
development standards, and design requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance.
2. That the design of Tentative Tract Map 25154 may cause
some environmental damage or injury to the wildlife
habitat of the Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard, but
mitigation in the form of fees for a new habitat area
will reduce this impact to an insignificant level.
3. 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.
4. That the design of Tentative Tract Map No. 25154 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 or will be provided that
are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired
by the public.
5. That the proposed Tentative Tract 25154, as conditioned,
provides for mitigation of incremental impacts on park
facilities, noise, and aesthetic factors.
6. 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 City Council in this case;
