16. All stormwater runoff passing through the site shall be accepted and conveyed
across the property in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer. For all
stormwater runoff falling on the site, on -site retention or other facilities approved
by the City Engineer shall be required to contain the increased stormwater

to determine the volume of increased stormwater runoff due to development of
the site, and to determine required stormwater runoff mitigation measures for
the proposed development. Final retention basin sizing and other stormwater
runoff mitigation measures shall be determined upon review and approval,of the
hydrology study by the City Engineer and may require redesign or changes to
site configuration or layout consistent with the findings of the final hydrology
study. No more than 40-50% of the street frontage parkway/setback areas

dry wells and other subsurface solutions should be considered as alternatives to
using landscaped parkways for on -site retention.

BMP's, including mechanical or other means for pre -treating contaminated
stormwater and non-stormwater runoff, shall " 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 contaminated stormwater and non-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. 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
Restrictions (CC&R's) required for the development if an .

19. The minimum pavement section for all on -site pavement of drive aisles and
parking spaces shall be 2% inches asphalt concrete pavement over 4 inches
crushed miscellaneous base with a minimum subgrade of 24 inches at 95%
relative compaction, or equal. If an alternative pavement section is proposed,
the proposed pavement, section shall be designed by a California registered
Geotechnical Engineer using "R" values from the project site and submitted to
the City Engineer for approval.
GENERAL
20. Any utility trenches or other excavations within existing asphalt concrete
pavement of off -site streets required by the proposed development shall be
backfilled and repaired in accordance with City of Palm Springs Standard
Drawing No. 115. The developer shall be responsible for removing, grinding,
paving and/or overlaying existing asphalt concrete pavement of off -site streets
as required by and at the discretion of the City Engineer, including additional
pavement repairs to pavement repairs made by utility companies for utilities
installed for the benefit of the proposed development (i.e. Desert Water Agency,
Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, Time Warner,
Verizon, etc.). Multiple excavations, trenches, and other street cuts within
existing asphalt concrete pavement of off -site streets required by the proposed
development may require complete grinding and asphalt concrete overlay of the
affected off -site streets, at the discretion of the City Engineer. The pavement
condition of the existing off -site streets shall be returned to a condition equal to
or better than existed prior to construction of the proposed development.
21. On phases or elements of construction following initial site grading (e.g., sewer,
