the requirements of The Rules to Implement the California
Environmental Quality Act of l970'* in that the Planning
Director has determined that the tentative tract will not have
a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact is recommended; and,

have been identified and incorporated into the approval
conditions for Tentative Tract 26719, thereby requiring that
monitoring of those mitigation measures be undertaken to assure
compliance with them; and,

1. That Tentative Tract 26718, 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.
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 26718 will not
cause substantial environmental damage or injury to the
wildlife habitat of the Coachella Valley.
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 26718 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 26718, as conditioned,
provides for adequate maintenance of the landscape buffer
areas.
7. That the proposed Tentative Tract 26718, as conditioned,
provides storm water retention, in lieu fees, park, 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;
