2. The subject site has a fairly flat topography. The
proposed circulation design and lot layouts, as
conditioned, are, therefore, suitable for the proposed
land division.
3. That the design of Tentative Tract Map 26855 will not
cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the
wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley.
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 thedesign of Tentative Tract Map 26855 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 26855, as conditioned,
provides for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer
areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract 26855, as conditioned,
provides storm water retention, park facilities or fees,
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 City Council in this
case;
