(KL). FROM: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY On August 12, 2024, Suncal, dba Serena 386, LLC purchased the roughly 156.18-acres of land associated with the Serena Park project from PS Country Club, LLC1. As a condition of the purchase, the Development Agreement (“DA”) previously established between the City and PS Country Club, LLC was amended and adopted by and between the City and Serena 386, LLC. This tentative tract map is necessary to fulfill the phasing requirement of the Development Agreement. The purpose of this map is to allow the Serena Park project to be subdivided into seven parcels that are to be sold to individual “merchant builders” who will, in turn complete the construction of their portion of the overall Serena Park project as defined in Tract Map 36691, PD 366 and all related conditions of those respective entitlement approvals. This development phasing approach is the same as that which was implemented for the Escena and Miralon developments; both of which have been subdivided, sold and built by individual “merchant builder” developers. The conditions and standards for Tentative tract map 36691, Planned Development District #366, and all other project entitlements approved by City Council on September 1 For clarification, 156.18 acres reflects the total acreage of land owned by Serena 386 LLC, including Lot “T” which is approximately 25 acres in the Whitewater River flood plain. Subtracting Lot “T” results in the actual tract map acreage of 131.12 acres. Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 2 of 9 6, 2016 will remain in effect with the approval of this seven -lot tentative tract map. Map 36691 and PD 366 comprising of 386 dwelling units, roads and other infrastructure, will remain in effect with the approval of this seven -lot tentative tract map and Map 36691 will become the “phasing map” which outlines the development obligations (number of units, roads, infrastructure, conditions, etc.) that e ach merchant builder / developer accepts with purchase of one or more of the seven lots created by this map 39025. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Open the public hearing and receive testimony. 2. Close the public hearing, adopt the CEQA determination as outlined in this staff report and recommend approval of Tentative Tract Map 39025 by the City Council subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit “A”. ISSUES: Suncal 386, LLC cannot proceed with the phasing and selling of portions of the Serena Park project to merchant builders as outlined in Exhibit “2” of the Development Agreement (“DA”) until this tentative tract map (TTM 39025) is finalized. BACKGROUND: Previous Approvals. On September 7, 2016, the City Council approved several discretionary entitlements associated with the redevelopment of the roughly 131 -acre2 former Palm Springs Country Club golf course, including approving a change in the General Plan Land Use designation from open space to low density residential development. The project was approved with up to 92 attached single -family units and 294 detached single-family units (386 total dwelling units). The project is named “Serena Park” In approving the Serena Park project, the Council specifically adopted the following: • Resolution No. 24082, certifying an Environmental Impact Report for the Serena Park project; • Resolution No. 24083, approving a General Plan Amendment to change land use designation from "Open Space - Parks/Recreation" to "Very Low Density Residential"; • Resolution No. 24084, approving a Major Architectural Application (Case 5.1327MAJ / PDD-366); • Resolution No. 24085 approving Tentative Tract Map 36691; and • Ordinance No. 1898 approving Planned Development District (PD-366) in lieu of a change of zone. 2 Of the 131.12 acres that comprise the project, roughly 126 acres comprised the former golf course. Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 3 of 9 Development Agreement. On October 14, 2021 the City Council approved Ordinance 2051 amending the Development Agreement (“DA) between the City and PS Country Club, LLC, the previous owner of the Serena Park project. The Effective Date of that DA was October 17, 2018. In order to effectuate sale of the project from PS Country Club LLC to Suncal, DBA Serena 386, LLC the City Council approved Ordinance 2097 at a noticed public hearing on July 9, 2024. This ordinance authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to the DA that, among other things, approved the assignment of the agreement from PS Country Club LLC to Serena 386, LLC. On August 12, 2024, the amended agreement was executed and recorded with the County along with the sale of the land to Serena 386,LLC. Relationship between proposed Tentative Tract Map 39025 and approved TTM 36691. As explained in the summary, the seven-lot tract map TTM 39025 divides the 131.12- acres associated with the Serena Park tentative tract map TTM 36691 into seven large parcels to allow Serena 386, LLC to sell off portions of the project to different “merchant builder” developers who in turn will develop the actual homes, streets, and related infrastructure. TTM36691 henceforth is referred to as “the Phasing Map” (see attached) and identifies the seven parcels or phases as shown on the following exhibits: BELOW LEFT: PHASES 1 THROUGH 5 (“SOUTH PART”), BELOW RIGHT: PHASES 6 AND 7 (“NORTH PART”) The seven development phases of previously approved map 36691 correlate to the seven parcels in proposed TTM 39025. The acreage and number of dwellings in each phase are shown in the following table: Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 4 of 9 Tract No. phases in TTM 36691: Equivalent parcels in proposed TTM 39025 Area (acres) No. of Units: 36691-1 Parcel 1 24.16 51 36691-2 Parcel 2 9.52 29 36691-3 Parcel 3 24.46 81 36691-4 Parcel 4 26.39 82 36691-5 Parcel 5 12.71 31 36691-6 Parcel 6 14.66 20 36691 Parcel 7 19.22 92 Total: 131.12 386 Details of Application Request Site Area Net Area 131.12 Acres Most Recent Ownership August 12, 2024 Suncal DBA Serena 386, LLC Field Check October 9, 2024 Staff visited site to observe existing conditions of the property.

The subject property is currently Very Low Density Residential (“VLDR”). This land use designation allows 2.1 – 4 dwelling units per acre. Development in this land use designation typically is comprised of single-family dwellings. As noted above Serena Park will be developed with both attached and detached single -family dwellings. There Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 6 of 9 are no Specific Plans associated with this land area. Thus, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan designation in terms of proposed use and density. Consistency with Access: Pursuant to Section 9.60.020 and 9.64.020 of the Municipal Code, every subdivider is required to dedicate a portion of the subdivision fo r the purpose of access. In this case, the primary access into the tract will be from the existing public rights of way at San Rafael Drive, Whitewater Club Drive. Conditions of approval are proposed requiring the dedication of land for the purpose of access. As conditioned, t he proposed map is consistent with this finding. Required Findings for a Tentative Parcel Map Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act. Staff evaluated the proposed map relative to the findings in Section 66474 as follows: a. The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans; As noted in the finding above for PSMC 9.60.020, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed 7-lot map does not change the density, design or other characteristics of the underlying PD and Tentative Tract Map 36691. There are no Specific Plans associated with this area of the city. This Tentative Tract Map 39025 merely further subdivides the land to allow development and phasing of the site consistent with the Development Agreement and this finding can be affirmatively met. b. That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Tract Map does not propose design or improvements. The previously approved underlying Map 36691 and PD-366 contain the proposed design and improvements for the project. The proposed 7-lot tentative tract map is comprised of two (2) lots over the northerly portion of the project area and five (5) lots over the southerly portion. This Tentative Tract Map 39025 merely further subdivides the land to allow development of the site consistent with the existing entitlement standards and the phasing requirements of the Development Agreement. The configuration of the site plan as defined in TTM 36691 and the other land use entitlements, and the underlying conditions of approval associated with that map and those entitlements will be carried over to this proposed map. The project is therefore consistent with the zoning of the area that comprises the proposed map. Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 7 of 9 c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. The proposed Tentative Tract Map 39025 is proposed to subdivide the overall Serena Park project into seven parcels to allow development phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement. The configuration of the site plan is as defined in the previously approved TTM 36691 and other related land use entitlements and the underlying conditions of approval associated with that map will be carried over to this proposed map. The project is therefore consistent with this finding. d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The purpose of the proposed map 39025 is to subdivide the overall Serena Park project to allow development phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement. It does not affect the density of the proposed development which was established by the previous entitlements associated with the Serena Park project. This finding can be affirmatively met. e. The design of the subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitat. As noted above, map 39025 does not change any of the characteristics or design of the proposed Serena Park Project as defined through the previously entitlements for the project and as evaluated and certified by the City pursuant to CEQA. The proposed map does not change any of the environmental circumstances of the project, therefore, will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitat and thus this finding can be affirmatively met. f. The design of the subdivision will not cause serious public health problems. As noted above, the proposed map 39025, does not propose any change to the design of the subdivision that was already approved through the previously approved map 36691, Case 5.1327 PD-366 / CZ / GPA / MAJ and as certified in the EIR. The proposed map does not change the environmental circumstances of the project, it merely subdivides the overall Serena Park project for purposes of phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement and therefore this finding can be affirmatively met. g. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The coordination and establishment of easements and access through the property were established and approved through the previously approved entitlements for the Serena Park project. This map 39025 does not alter or change the design or any of the characteristics of the project or required easements; it is merely a map to subdivide the Planning Commission Staff Report Case STM-2024-0006: TTM 39025 7-Lot Map for Serena Park January 22, 2025 Page 8 of 9 project into seven parcels for purposes of meeting the phasing requirements of the Development Agreement. This finding can be affirmatively met. Conclusion: The proposed Tentative Tract Map 39025 meets the findings of the Palm Springs Zoning Code and the State of California Subdivision Map Act necessary for approval. A draft resolution and conditions are attached for the Planning Commission’s consideration. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: On September 7, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24082, certifying the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the land use entitlements for the Serena Park project, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR is the controlling environmental document for the overall project. This proposed Seven-lot Tentative Tract Map 39025 merely further subdivides the land to allow development of the site consistent with these standards. The preparation of further environmental documentation is not necessary because none of the circumstances triggering further environmental review have occurred since the adoption of the EIR: (i) There are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (ii) There are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; and (iii) There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified showing that: (a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (c) Mitigation measures previously found not feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the mitigation measures have not been adopted; or (d) Mitigation measures considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the mitigation measures have not been adopted. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required, pursuant to § 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act.

SECTION 4: Findings of Consistency with the State Subdivision Map Act.. The Planning Commission hereby finds that Tentative Tract Map 39025 complies with the provisions of the State of California Subdivision Map Act Section 66474 as follows: a. The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans; As noted in the finding above for PSMC 9.60.020, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed 7-lot map does not change the density, design or other characteristics of the underlying PD and Tentative Tract Map 36691. There are no Specific Plans associated with this area of the city. This Tentative Tract Map 39025 merely further subdivides the land to allow development and phasing of the site consistent with the Development Agreement and this finding can be affirmatively met. b. That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Tract Map does not propose design or improvements. The previously approved underlying Map 36691 and PD-366 contain the proposed design and improvements for the project. The proposed 7-lot tentative tract map is comprised of two (2) lots over the northerly portion of the project area and five (5) lots over the southerly portion. This Tentative Tract Map 39025 merely further subdivides the land to allow development of the site consistent with the existing entitlement standards and the phasing requirements of the Development Agreement. The configuration of the site plan as defined in TTM 36691 and the other land use entitlements, and the underlying conditions of approval associated with that map and those entitlements will be carried over to this proposed map. The project is therefore consistent with the zoning of the area that comprises the proposed map. c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. The proposed Tentative Tract Map 39025 is proposed to subdivide the overall Serena Park project into seven parcels to allow development phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement. The configuration of the site plan is as defined in the previously approved TTM 36691 and other related land use entitlements and the underlying conditions of approval associated with that map will be carried over to this proposed map. The project is therefore consistent with this finding. d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. Planning Commission Resolution No. _____ January 22, 2025 Case STM-2024-0006 (TTM 39025 / 5.1327 PD-366 / GPA / CZ / MAJ / TTM 36691 Page 7 of 8 The purpose of the proposed map 39025 is to subdivide the overall Serena Park project to allow development phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement. It does not affect the density of the proposed development which was established by the previous entitlements associated with the Serena Park project. This finding can be affirmatively met. e. The design of the subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitat. As noted above, map 39025 does not change any of the characteristics or design of the proposed Serena Park Project as defined through the previously entitlements for the project and as evaluated and certified by the City pursuant to CEQA. The proposed map will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife or their habitat and thus this finding can be affirmatively met. f. The design of the subdivision will not cause serious public health problems. As noted above the proposed map 39025, does not propose and change to the design of the subdivision that was already approved through the previously map 36691, Case 5.1327 PD-366 / CZ / GPA / MAJ and as certified in the EIR. The proposed merely subdivides the overall Serena Park project for purposes of phasing pursuant to the Development Agreement. g. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The coordination and establishment of easements and access through the property were established and approved through the previously approved entitlements for the Serena Park project. This map 39025 does not alter or change the design or any of the characteristics of the project or required easements; it is merely a map to subdivide the project into seven parcels for purposes of meeting the phasing requirements of the Development Agreement. This finding can be affirmatively met. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLVES: That the proposed Tentative Tract Map 39025 meets the findings and criteria necessary for its approval. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Case STM-2024-0006 (Tentative Tract Map 39025) in conjunction with the Serena Park project and all previously entitlements associated with the project (Case Nos. 5.1327 GPA, PD-366 ZC, Tentative Tract Map 36691), and is consistent with the Development Agreement as recorded on May 6, 2024 and amended and recorded on Planning Commission Resolution No. _____ January 22, 2025 Case STM-2024-0006 (TTM 39025 / 5.1327 PD-366 / GPA / CZ / MAJ / TTM 36691 Page 8 of 8 August 12, 2024, subject to the Conditions of Approval attached to this Resolution as Exhibit “A”.
