A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A ONE-
YEAR TIME EXTENSION FROM MARCH 16, 2007, TO
MARCH 15 2008, FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 28668

AVENUE, ZONE R-1-A, SECTION 10.
WHEREAS, Edith Armstrong M. Toor ("Applicant") has filed an application with the City
pursuant to Chapter 9.63.110 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code for a one-year time
extension to the previously approved Tentative Tract Map 28668 to allow a subdivision
of Assessor Parcel Number 505-030-007 into six lots; and
WHEREAS, on March 14, 2007, the Planning Commission considered the request in a
public meeting and recommended approval of the extension request; and
WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact was previously
approved by the City Council on March 16, 2005. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the preparation of a
Subsequent Negative Declaration, Addendum Negative Declaration, or further
environmental assessment is not necessary because the changed circumstances of the
' project will not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the
staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council approves one year time extension for TTM 28668 ending on March 15, 2008,

Page 93, identified by Assessor's Parcel Number 505-044-013. The applicant
shall demonstrate in a Hydrology Study prepared for this development, that the
volume and rate of stormwater runoff conveyed downstream through the off-site
private drainage easement does not exceed current (undeveloped) levels. The
applicant shall acquire an off-site easement for drainage purposes over the
northerly 10 feet of Lot 5 of Tract Map 2369. The private off-site drainage
easement shall be granted and recorded prior to approval of a grading plan or a
final map.
31. In the event the off-site drainage easement is not acquired, the on-site retention
basin shall be increased in size as necessary to accommodate the total volume
of the 100-year stormwater runoff for the developed condition, as required by the
City Engineer.

No. 15189. Fees shall be paid prior to issuance of a building permit.
34, This project may be required to install measures in accordance with applicable
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Best Management
Practices (BMP's) included as part of the NPDES Permit issued for the
Whitewater River Region from the Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB). The applicant is advised that installation of BMP's,
including mechanical or other means for pre-treating stormwater runoff, may be
required by regulations imposed by the RWQCB. It shall be the applicant's
responsibility to design and install appropriate BMP's, in accordance with the
NPDES Permit, that effectively intercept and pre-treat stormwater runoff from the
project site, prior to release to the City's municipal separate storm sewer system
("MS4"), to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the RWQCB. If required,
such measures shall be designed and installed on-site; and provisions for
perpetual maintenance of the measures shall be provided to the satisfaction of
the City Engineer, including provisions in Covenants, Conditions, and
