Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Planning Services SUMMARY The City Council will consider a proposed 81 unit condominium project on 7.11 acres. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed for the project. The Major Architectural Review was approved by the Planning Commission at its meeting of December 13, 2006, and the Tentative Tract Map to result in a single lot condominium map requires City Council approval. RECOMMENDATION- 1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony. 2.

PRIOR ACTIONS: The proposed project was reviewed by the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) on September 25, 2006. The Planning Commission heard the application at its meeting of December 13, 2006. After hearing all evidence on the matter, the Planning Commission approved the Major Architectural Review, with conditions of approval, deleting conditions 25 and 26. The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the ITEM^ NO.�� City Council Staff Report January 17,2007 — Page 2 3.2952,TTM$5019 Tentative Tract Map, with the understanding that several technical conditions of approval with which the applicant disagreed were to be discussed with staff prior to the City Council hearing (please see additional discussion below). STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant proposes the construction of 81 condominiums on a 7.11 acre site. The project also includes internal circulation drives, and common area amenities consisting of a community room, fitness room, kitchen, restrooms and swimming pool. A Tentative Tract Map for condominium purposes (TTM 35019) is proposed, which will result in one oot. Condominiums will be one to three stories in height, with a maximum height of 30 feet. The units will be arranged in building clusters. Buildings vary in size, with the largest building containing 22,539 square feet of building area. ,Access to the project is proposed on Amado Road, approximately 415 feet east of Avenida Caballeros. Emergency access is also proposed through the adjacent La Mancha project to the north. Internal private streets are proposed to be 24 feet in width, with wedge curb. The project site is located within the boundaries of the Section 14 Master Plan. The proposed project site has a General Plan designation of Residential High, as designated in the Section 14 Master Plan. The zoning on the property is R-4. The proposed land use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance for that designation. The proposed project will meet setback, height and other requirements of the R-4 district. Perimeter setbacks for the project allow 30 feet on Amado Road and Avenida Caballeros, and 20 feet on the eastern and northern property lines. Internally, a minimum of 5 feet is provided as a side setback for all buildings. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the proposed project, and will create a single lot on which all units will be located, typical of a condominium map. The Map has been conditioned to be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act. Staff has reviewed the proposed Tract Map in light of the required findings and prepared recommended conditions contained in the attached draft resolution. Conditions of Approval The applicant submitted a memorandum (attached to this staff report as Exhibit 8) at the Planning Commission meeting which requested amendment or deletion of a number of • conditions of approval, all of which were of a technical nature. The Planning Commission directed staff to meet with the applicant prior to the City Council hearing, and discuss the requested amendments/deletions. That meeting occurred on December 19, 2006. All the conditions were discussed, and resulting amendments are shown in City Council Staff Report January 17.2007 — Page 3 3.2952,TTM 35019 the attached conditions of approval (added text is shown in bold and deleted text is ^*'^^ gl ). The applicant and staff agreed to all the changes, with the exception of condition 431 and #106. Condition #31 relates to the ongoing difficulty of private developers to secure easements in perpetuity over land owned by Tribal members. The condition as amended reflects the City's current policy for easements, and requires that they be in perpetuity unless the City Council amends its policy on the matter. The applicant does not believe that they are able to comply with the condition. Condition #106 requires that the project roadways be painted red to prevent parking in a fire lane. Staff believes strongly that red-curbing is the only effective way to prevent parking of vehicles. The applicant proposes instead to paint signage at intervals along the curb, however, staff believes that such intermittent warding would be inadequate, as of is often parked over or blocked and simply ignored. Staff continues to recommend these two conditions as originally written. Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Approval This project is located in Section 14, and the Tribal Council reviewed the proposed project at its meeting of January 9, 2007. The Council recommended approval of the project, with the addition of four conditions of approval. These conditions have been added to the project conditions (conditions of approval 135-138). The letter from the Tribe is attached to this staff report. ,Environmental Review Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, an Initial Study was conducted for the proposed project. That study concluded that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, any potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance, and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration can be adopted for the project. i FISCAL IMPACT: IFinance Director Review: No fiscal impact. rai Ewing, CP Thomas Wilson, Sistant City Manager Di Zor of Plar tui' ng Services " l David H.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The City Council found that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance. The City Council independently reviewed and considered the information contained in the MND prior to its review of this Project and the MND reflects the City Council's independent judgment and analysis. Section 2: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council makes the following findings: a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. The Tentative Tract Map will facilitate the sale of condominium units within the project. The project is consistent with both the General Plan and the Section 14 Specific Plan. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The design of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the allowable uses in the R-4 zone, and the project design meets the requirements of the zone. C. The site is physically suited for this type of development. The site is flat and surrounded by existing development and City streets. The construction of residential buildings on the site is appropriate at this location. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The site can accommodate the 81 units proposed. The zoning designation for the property allows up to 29 units per acre, and the project is below that density. Resolution No. Page 3 e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. Mitigation measures have been included which reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subdivision is designed to meet or exceed City standards. The homes will be required to meet or exceed City building codes. The project will not cause public health problems. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements or access across the subject property, therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design, Section 3: The City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case Number 3.2952, Tentative Tract Map 35019, and directs staff to file the associated Notice of Determination.

Prior to any ground or habitat disturbance associated with any Covered Project on the Reservation on a site which provides potential burrowing owl habitat, the Covered Project Proponent shall cause a pre-construction survey of the site to be conducted for presence of the species. a. Surveys and relocation, if applicable, shall be conducted between September 1 and January 31 in accordance with the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (1995) or other then-current protocols as directed by the Tribe. b. Owls should be excluded from burrows in the Development Envelope and within an appropriate buffer zone by installing one-way doors in burrow entrances or other techniques as deemed appropriate. The biological monitor must ensure through appropriate means (e.g. monitoring for owl use, excavating burrows) that the burrows to be impacted are not being used. The Tribe shall determine whether creation of artificial burrows is necessary as part of the relocation effort. C. Occupied burrows shall not be disturbed during the nesting season unless a qualified biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either: (a) the birds have not begun egg laying and incubation; or (b) that juveniles from the occupied burrows are foraging independently and capable of independent survival. 137. Based on the project location within the Tribe's Traditional Use Area, the THPO requests copies of any cultural resource documentation that might be generated in connection with these efforts for permanent inclusion in the Agua Caliente Cultural Register. 138. Experience has shown that there is always a possibility of encountering buried cultural resources during construction related excavations. Given that, the Tribe requests that an Approved Cultural Resource Monitor(s) be present during any survey and/or any ground disturbing activities. Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor may request that destructive construction halt and the Monitor shall notify a Qualified (Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines) Archaeologist to Conditions of Approval Case No. 3.2952 Tentative Tract Map 35019 Page 23 investigate and, if necessary, prepare a mitigation plan for submission to the THPA. Please contact the Tribal offices for further information about Approved Cultural Resource Monitors. AND OF CONDITIONS I City of Palm Springs Planning Commission Minutes of December 13, 2006 10.

Robertson, Principal Planner Nicole Sauviat Criste, Consulting Planner PROJECT DESCRIPTION i The applicant proposes the construction of 81 condominiums on a 7.11 acre site. The project also includes internal circulation drives, and common area amenities consisting of a community room, fitness room, kitchen, restrooms and swimming pool. A Tentative Tract Map for condominium purposes (TTM 35019) is also proposed, which will result in one lot, • Condominiums will be one to three stories in height, with a maximum height of 30 feet. Condominium units will range in size from 2,023 to 3,413 square feet. The units will be I n7�i�1°n� I Planning Commission Staff Report 12/13/06 Case:3.2952 and TTM 35019 Page 2 of 8 arranged in building clusters. Buildings vary in size, with the largest building containing 22,539 square feet of building area. Access to the project is proposed on Amado Road, approximately 416 feet east of Avenida Caballeros. Emergency access is also proposed through the adjacent La Mancha project to the north. Internal private streets are proposed to be 24 feet in width, with wedge curb. The project site is located within the boundaries of the Section 14 Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the proposed application by PS Del Grano II, LLC to develop 81 condominium units by. • Considering and approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case 3.2952 -- TTM 35019; • Approving Major Architectural Review 3.2952 in accordance with the findings and conditions of approval; and • Recommending to City Council conditional approval of a Tentative Tract Map 35019 to subdivide approximately 7.11 acres into a condominium map. PRIOR ACTIONS On September 25, 2006, the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the proposed project. The AAC recommended approval of the proposed project, with the comment that the project proponent should consider the orientation of units to assure that taller units within the project do not look down into opposing units' private open space areas, so that privacy between these units is maintained (please see further discussion under"Architecture," below). BACKGROUND AND SETTING The proposed project occurs at the northeast corner of Amado Road and Avenida Caballeros, and is surrounded by existing development. The Casa Verde condominiums, which are two stories in height, occur to the east. The project previously known as La Mancha occurs on the north, and was recently approved for single family and townhome development. Two story structures are planned for the area immediately north of this proposed project. ' The site is generally vacant, with remnant buildings, all unoccupied, and tennis court facilities occurring on the northern boundary. Avenida Caballeros borders the site on the western side, with the City's Convention Center parking lot beyond. On the southern Planning Commission Staff Report 12/13106 Case:3.2962 and TTM 35019 Page 3 of 8 boundary, the site is bordered by Amado Road. Vacant lands occur south of Amado. ANALYSIS Project Description The proposed project includes the construction of 81 condominium units on 7.11 acres, or a density of 11.4 units per acre. The condominiums will be distributed throughout the site in clusters of buildings. There are a total of 10 building types proposed, each ! providing a somewhat different elevation. The buildings will be three stories in height, with a maximum height of 30 feet. Chimneys will extend to as much as 32 feet above grade. A total of 6 floor plans are proposed, ranging in size from 2,023 square feet to 3,413 square feet. Units are proposed to include 2 or three bedrooms. The units will be split- level internally, with up to 5 floors within a unit. A contemporary architecture is proposed, with clear vertical and horizontal elements, and geometric projections providing shade. Central common areas are also proposed, which would include a pool, clubhouse, community kitchen and restrooms located immediately north of the main entrance to the site, north of Amado Road; and a fitness center and open space/courtyard area in the center of the site. Internal circulation is proposed via a loop road, 24 feet in width. The internal roadway will be privately maintained by the homeowners' association. The site will be accessed from Amado Road, at a single driveway. A secondary, emergency access point is proposed in the northwestern portion of the site, allowing access through the Nexus/La Mancha project currently under construction. The project will be gated, although gates will be perpendicular to Amado, and not visible from that street. General Plan and Zoning The proposed project site has a General Plan designation of Residential High, as designated in the Section 14 Master Plan. The zoning on the property is R-4. The proposed land use is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance for that designation. The General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and for surrounding properties are depicted in Table 1 below. 7 -)7r' Planning Commission Staff Report 1211=6 Case:3.2952 and rrM 35019 Page 4 of 8 Table 1: Project and Surrounding General Plan and Zoning Designations Location General Plan Designation Zonin Designation Project Site HR (Residential High, 43 R-4, 29 units per acre units per acre West HR (Residential High, 43 R-4, 29 units per acre units per acre) South RA (Resort Attraction) R-4, , 29 units per acre, Resort Overlay East HR ((Residential High, 43 R-4, 29 units per acre units er acre ! North HR (Residential High, 43 R-4, 29 units per acre units per acre The project is consistent with the development standards of the R-4 zone, as well as being within the allowable density in that zone. The project is proposing a density of 11.4 units per acre. Site Plan and Project Design ' The proposed project will meet setback, height and other requirements of the R-4 district. Perimeter setbacks for the project allow 30 feet on Amado Road and Avenida Caballeros, and 20 feet on the eastern and northern property lines. Internally, a minimum of 5 feet is provided as a side setback for all buildings. The site plan allows for common open space through the center of the project, and j provides pedestrian access to these areas from all areas of the project, either through the internal streets, or through walkways internal to the site. Common area amenities include a pool, a clubhouse, a kitchen, fitness room and restrooms. Each unit will also have private open space areas, including a back yard area and balconies. Most units also have small front courtyards. Back yards generally measure a minimum of 300 square feet, with some back yards on end units over 900 square feet. All units will be accessible from the interior loop road, and will have front doors on that loop road, with the exception of the units in the north-central portion of the site, whose front doors will be accessed from the center courtyard in that area (shown as units A24 through A35 on the site plan). For these units, garage access only will be provided on the loop road. Staff has a concern that the area between the clubhouse building and unit B57, measuring approximately 3 feet in width, is un-usable space which lends itself to becoming a public safety hazard, and a trash collecting nuisance. The area is too narrow to allow for effective landscaping, and is not usable open space. The project has therefore been conditioned to modify the design to attach the clubhouse building to unit i i i � Planning Commission Staff Report 12/13/06 Case:3.2952 and TTM 35019 Page 5 of 3 I B57, thereby eliminating the separation, and the potential nuisance. Since the common area buildings are proposed to be single story, the change in design will not significantly impact the mass of buildings in that area. Architecture The proposed project consists of contemporary architecture, with stepped rooflines, and varied elevations on all sides of all buildings. Most significant in a project of this density, the proponent has included 10 different building configurations, or clusters of units. Each of the buildings is somewhat different in design, so that monotony of architecture through the site is avoided. Architectural projections are used throughout the buildings as shade structures, and wall planes have been sufficiently varied to assure that long expanses of wall area do not occur. In addition, the internal split-level layout of the units lends itself to creative window placement, and further articulation of the exterior I architecture. The proponent proposes a neutral color palette, with the focus remaining on the form of the buildings, and the architectural projections included on each structure. The units are generally oriented so that back yards are not "back to back", and individual units have privacy in these areas. The exceptions are in the center of the site, and units E74 through E79. The AAC did indicate a concern with privacy, and specifically discussed units labeled A24 through A35. The AAC's concern related to the second and third floors of units having the ability to look down into adjacent back yard areas in this portion of the site. The AAC did not ask for a modification of the project, but did ask that the applicant consider the concern in their final design. As a result, a condition of approval to that effect is included. Open Space The proposed project, as previously stated, includes central common areas and private rear yards for each unit. These open space areas total 56% of the site, and exceed the requirement of the R-4 zone for 45% open space. • Access The project will be accessed from Amado Road. Internal access will be limited by gates located on the internal loop road, perpendicular to Amado. In addition, an emergency/secondary access is provided through the future Nexus development to the north of the site, formerly La Mancha. Internal vehicular circulation is provided by a loop drive, 24 feet in width, which provides access to all the units. The Fire Department expressed concerns that the project's internal loop road had too many turns to be navigable by a fire truck. The applicant has modified the site plan to I I I Planning Commission staff Report 12/13/06 Case:3 2962 and TTM 35019 Page 6 of 8 accommodate the City's largest fire truck, thus addressing the fire department's concerns. The site plan before the Planning Commission reflects the changes made by the applicant in this regard. • Pedestrian circulation is also provided throughout the site, and onto the public roadway system, via a walkway from the site to the corner of Amado and Avenida Caballeros (please see project site plan). Parking All units will be provided garages, either for one or two cars, depending on the unit (please see attached site plan). A parking court is provided in front of each unit, allowing for either the second required space, or guest parking. A few independent guest parking areas are also located independent of units. The parking provided exceeds the requirements of the zoning ordinance for condominium parking. Landscaping The proposed project includes a landscaping plan which incorporates a large number of shade trees to add to individual unit privacy, and shade the structures. Native and drought tolerant species have also been incorporated into the plans. Overall, the landscaping plan has successfully softened the building mass, and helps to compensate for the density proposed within the project. Public Utilities and Services All public utilities and services are available to the site. Condominium Map The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the proposed project, and will create a single lot on which all units will be located, typical of a condominium map. The Map has been conditioned to be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act. Staff has reviewed the proposed Tract Map in light of the required findings and prepared recommended conditions contained in the attached draft resolution. REQUIRED FINDINGS Findings are required for the proposed Tentative Tract Map pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act. These findings and a discussion of the project as it relates to these findings follow: a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. Planning Commission Staff Report 12/13/00 Case:3.2952 and TTM 35019 Page 7 of 8 The Tentative Tract Map will facilitate the sale of condominium units within the project. The project is consistent with both the General Plan and the Section 14 Specific Plan. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is located. The design of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the allowable uses in the R-4 zone, and the project design meets the requirements of the zone. c. The site is physically suited for this type of development. The site is flat and surrounded by existing development and City streets. The construction of residential buildings on the site is appropriate at this location. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. The site can accommodate the 81 units proposed. The zoning designation for the property allows up to 29 units per acre, and the project is below that density. e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed. Mitigation measures have been included which reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subdivision is designed to meet or exceed City standards. The homes will be required to meet or exceed City building codes. The project will not cause public health problems. g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known public easements or access across the subject property, therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design. i Planning Commission Staff Report 12/13/06 Case 3.2952 and TTM 35019 Page 8 of 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The Planning Department has reviewed this project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and determined that the project had the potential for significant impacts, but that the impacts would not be significant in this case because project modifications or mitigation measures incorporated into the Initial Study reduce impacts to less than significant levels. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared, and attached to this staff report as Attachment 3. NOTIFICATION A public hearing notice was advertised and was mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property/adjacent property owners.

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ 1 find thal although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. Date City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 7 „ 1a�� INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION PURPOSE OF THIS INITIAL STUDY This Initial Study has been prepared consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15063, to determine if the "4 One 4 North Palm Canyon" project, cs proposed, may have a significant Effect upon the environment. Based upon the findings contained within this report, the Initial Study will be used in support of the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supporled by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impaci" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., 1he project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutanls, based on project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must lake into account the whole action involved, including offsite as well oS onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced on effect from "Potentially Significant Impoct" to a "Less Than Significant Impact," The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level mitigation measures from Section Xvll, "Earlier Analyses;' may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they ore available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and stale whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which IhEy address site-specific conditions for the project.

Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the stalement is subslontioted. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be at lached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impacts to less than significance. it City at Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 9 ram I INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION I. AESTHETICS Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than Na 5ignifconl With significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Would the project: Incorporated a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic ❑ ❑ ® ❑ vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock ❑ El ❑ outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its ❑ ❑ ® ❑ surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or ❑ ❑ ® ❑ nighttime views in the area? Setting The City of Palm Springs is located in the valley floor In the southwest corner of the Coachella Valley where Palm Canyon enters the valley from the south. The city is framed by views of the San Jacinto Mountains to the south and west; by open desert and the City of Cathedral City to the east; and the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north. These mountain ranges provide a dramatic backdrop that is visible from virtually any point in the City. Views in the area of the project sile are primarily to the west, and focus on the Son Jacinto Mountains. Views to the east, north and south are limited by existing development, and limited visual resources in those areas. Discussion of Impacts a) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project includes buildings of two and three stories, with varying roof lines and massing. Views from the project to the west will be available for residents either directly, if they are located on the western boundary of the site, or through the gaps and varied roof lines of the buildings, if they are within the site. The currently existing condominiums (Casa Verde) to the east of the project site are two stories in height. Residents on the extreme western boundary of that project currently have direct views of the San Jacinto Mountains from their second floors, and limited views of the mountains from their first floors, due to intervening walls and landscaping. Units within Casa Verde are partially blocked by structures within the project. With construction of the proposed project, views from the second floor of the units on the western end of the Casa Verde project will be partially blocked, insofar as the lower portion of the Son Jacinto Mountains will be obscured. However, due to the distance between those units and the proposed project units (between 90 nd 120 feet, depending on location), and the mass and height of the San Jacinto Mountains, views of the upper portions of the mountains will still be visible above the roof lines of the proposed project. In addition, building orientation on the east end of the proposed city of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declprpti 10 U�1 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION project varies, with some buildings oriented in a north-south direction, and others in an east-west direction, thereby limiting the building mass adjacent to the Casa Verde project. Similarly, views to the south from the new units at the southern boundary of the La Mancha site will be limited by the proposed project, insofar as those units are planned to be two stories in height. The varying roof lines and building orientation within the proposed project will allow views to the south over and through the buildings, however, and the upper portion of the soulhern portion of the San Jacinto Mountains will remain 1 visible over the roof lines. Views from the condominium project on the west side of Avenida Caballeros will be unaffected by the proposed project. Overall, impacts associated with scenic vistas are expected to be less than significant. b) No Impact, There are no significant trees, rock outcroppings, historic buildings or other significant aesthetic resources on the project site. Neither Avenida Caballeros nor Amado Road are designated scenic rocdwoys. c) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will consist of condominium units of two and three stories in height. The surrounding development in the area also consists of condominium uniis, ranging from one to two stories in height. The proposed project will appear somewhat more intense than these projects, due to the addition of a third story, however, the character and architectural style of the project will be similar to existing and planned projects in the vicinity. With the mass or the Convention to the southwest, and planned hotel project to the west, the proposed project represents a logical extension of the neighborhood character in the area. d) Less Than Significant Impact. The project sile is currently vacant, and does not generate light or glare. The site is in an area of the City which is already impacted by light from exisling development, including the Convention Center. The proposed project will generate light from landscaping lighting and vehicle headlights. The project will be required to comply with City lighting requirements which prohibit light spillage onto surrounding properties (Zoning Ordinance Section 93.21-00). All lighting plans will be reviewed and approved by the City prior to construction, to assure that lighting levels do not exceed City standards. The proposed project will result in 81 units, which will generate vehicle trips in the evening hours. Given the partially developed nature of the area, and the high levels of evening activities associated with the Convention Center, vehicle headlights from the proposed project are not expected to significantly increase lighting on the streets in the area. The proposed project does not include architectural finishes which could result in glare. Overall impacts associated with light and glare are expected to be less than significani.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Sile Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Less Than Polentiolly Significant Less Than No ' Significant With Significant ' Impact Mitigation Impact Impact Would the project: Incorporated a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or I Farmland of Statewide Importance I (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared El 11 El 0 pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with exisling zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? El El M c) Involve other changes in the exisling environment which, due to [heir location or nature, could result in Conversion of Farmland, El El 0 • to non-agricultural use? Setting i Soils in the City are characterized as sandy and rocky. Due to their low organic content and dry, granular nature, most soils in the City are not well suited to support vegetation (Smith, Peroni and t Fox, 1992). The project site is located in the City's downtown core, and is surrounded on three sides by development. No agricultural activities occur in the City. Discussion of Impacts a) No Impact. The project site is not designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance under the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency. No impact to farmland would occur. I b) No Impact. The project site is not covered by a Williamson Act contract. No Williamson Act Contracts occur in the vicinity of the project site. No farming activity occurs within several miles of the project rile. Therefore, no impacts to Williamson Act Contracts would occur. e) No Impact. The project site is located In the City's urban core, and no agricultural activities occur in the vicinity. The proposed project is surrounded by development on three sides. No agriculturally designated lands occur in the City. There will be no impact i on the conversion of agricultural lands as a result of the proposed project.

Setting Air quality is evaluated based on Federal and Stale air quality standards and regulations and guidelines developed by individual air quality management districts. Mobile sources of air pollutants are primarily controlled through Federal and State agencies while stationary sources are regulated by the SCAQMD. Development within the City is governed by the 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (2003 AQMP) and the 2002 Coachella Valley PMIo State Implementation Plan (CVPMIoSIP), The AQMP sets forth a comprehensive program to bring Palm Springs and the other areas within its jurisdiction into compliance with Federal and State air quality standards. CEQA requires that projects be consistent with the applicable AQMP. The City of Palm Springs is in the Coachella Valley. Palm Springs' climate is characterized by low annual rainfall (2 to 6 inches per year) and low humidity with temperatures ranging from 801 F to 108° F in July and /0° F to 570 F in January. The City is located in the Salton Sea Air Basin, under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 13 T�KK r INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION I The SCAQMD maintains two stations in the Coachella Valley. The stations monitor criteria pollutants ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter under 10 microns (PMIo) and fine particulate matter 2.5 microns in size (PM25). Criteria air pollutants are contaminants for which the state and federal air quality standards have been established. They are show in Table III-1 and described in detail below. The Coachella Valley is currently designated as a "severe-17" ozone non-attainment area. This designation indicates that the attainment date for the federal ozone standards is November 15, 2007 (17 years from the date of enactment of the federal Clean Air Act). The South County Air Basin and Riverside County portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin are in atlainment for the federal and State standards for lead.

California Air Resources Booed, "Ambient All Quolily Standards."July 9.2003. ppm=pods per million pg/m3=Micrograms per Cubic Meter Ozone (Oa) is the most prevalent of a class of photochemical oxidants formed in the urban atmosphere. The creation of ozone is a result of complex chemical reactions between hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the presence of sunshine. Unlike other pollutants, ozone is not released directly into the atmosphere from any sources. The major sources of oxides of nitrogen and reactive hydrocarbons, known as ozone precursors, are combustion sources such as factories and automobiles, and evaporation of solvents and fuels. The health effects of ozone are eye imiation and damage to lung tissues. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas formed by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. CO concentrations are generally higher in the winter, when meteorological conditions favor the build-up of directly emilled contaminants. CO health warning and emergency episodes occur clmost entirely during the winler. The most significant source of carbon monoxide is gasoline powered automobiles, as a result of inefficient fuel usage in internal Combustion engines. Various industrial processes also emit carbon monoxide. Nitrogen Oxides (NO,) the primary receptors of ultraviolet light initiating the photochemical reactions to produce smog. Nitric oxide combines with oxygen in the presence of reactive hydrocarbons and sunlight to form nitrogen dioxide and ozone. Oxides of nitrogen are contributors to other air pollution problems including: high levels of fine particulate matter, poor visibility and acid deposition. City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 14 Oif� �� INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) results from the combustion of high sulfur content fuels. Fuel combustion is the major source of S02, while chemical plants, sulfur recovery plants, and metal processing are minor contributors. Sulfates result from a relation of sulfur dioxide and oxygen in the presence of sunlight. S02 levels are generally higher in the winter than in the summer (when sunlight is plentiful and sulfate is more readily formed), i Particulate Matter(PMm and PM2.5) consists of parlicies in the atmosphere as a by-product of fuel combustion, through abrasion such as tire wear, and through soil erosion by wind. Particulates can also be formed through photochemical reactions in the atmosphere. PMIo refers to finely divided solids or liquids such as soot, dust, and aerosols which are 10 microns or less in diameter and can enter the lungs. Fine particles are those less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter and are also referred to as PM2.s. Lead is found in old paints and coatings, plumbing and a variety of other materials. Once in the blood stream, lead can cause damage to the brain, nervous system, and other body systems. Children are most susceptible to the effects or lead. The South County Air Basin and riverside County portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin are in attainment for the federal and State slondards for lead.

The proposed project is under the jurisdiction Of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAAMD). Development at the project site will be governed by the 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (2003 AQMP) and the 2002 Coachella Valley PMIo State Implementation Plan (CVPMIo SIP). The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation in which it is located. Projects that are consistent with local General Plans are considered consistent with the air quality related regional plans including the Current AQMP, the Coachella ValleyPMlo SIP and other applicable regional plans. No impacts ossocialed with compliance with applicable management plans are expected. b-c) Less Than Significant Impact Long term operation of the proposed project will result in air emissions from automobile, and limited emissions from stationary sources. The proposed project will result in 81 condominium units. These units are expected to generate 475 average daily trips'. On this basis, the proposed project will generate the fallowing moving vehicle emissions. In addition, the site will generate emissions from the use of natural gas and electric power plants, based on the usage of these resources at the site. The emissions generated by stationary sources, as well as those generated by moving emissions, are summarized in Table III-3, below.

As demonstrated in the Table, the build out of the proposed project will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants. Impacts associated with operation of the project are therefore expected to be less than significant. d) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated The proposed project will also generate emissions during the construction process. These emissions are associated wilh PM10 generation during the grading process, emissions from construction vehicles, and emissions associated with the applications of architectural finishes. The potential emissions which could be generated by construction of the project are summarized below.

Impacts shown in Table III-6 will occur after the completion of grading activities, and are not expected to be cumulative. As shown in the Tables, the grading activities associated with the proposed project will exceed SCAQMD thresholds for fugitive dust (PM10). This is a potentially significant impact which requires mitigalion. All olher criteria pollutant emissions will remain within the designated thresholds, resulting in a less than significant impoct- Mitigation Measures In order to assure that impacts associated with PM10 are reduced to less than significant levels, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented as part of the proposed project's PM10 Management Plan. III-1. Apply non-toxic soil stabilizers according to monufoclurers' specification to all inactive construction areas (previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more). III-2. Replace ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as possible. III-3 Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply non-toxic soils binders according to manufacturers' specifications, to exposed piles (i.e., gravel, sand, dirt) with 5% or greater silt content. III-3. Water active sites at least twice daily. III-4. Suspend all excavating and grading operations when wind speeds (as insionloneous gusis) exceed 25 mph. III-5- Sweep streets at the End of the day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent public paved roads (recommend water sweepers with reclaimed water). III-6. Apply water three times daily, or non-toxic soil stabilizers according to manufacturers' specifications, to all unpaved parking or staging areas or unpaved road surfaces. III-7. Traffic speeds on all unpaved roads to be reduced to 15 mph or less.

The above measures shall be implemented during all grading phases of the project. Implementation of Ihese mitigation measures would reduce construction-related emissions in accordance with the reduction efficiencies shown in Tables 11-3 and 11-4 of the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook. These measures are considered adequate by the District to reduce emissions to less 1han significant levels. e) No Impact. As demonstrated in the Tables above, the proposed project will not result in violations of SCAQMD thresholds during its operation, and will result in less than significant impacts, with the implementation of mitigation measures, during the construction phases. The development of a residential project, Iherefore, is not expected to result in concentrations of pollutonis, either short term or long term. f) No impact. The development of a residential project at this site is not expected to result in significant odors beyond those normally associated with food preparation and household cleaning activities, which will be minimal and temporary.

The site is surrounded on two sides by roadways, and on the olher two sides by development. The site has been used as illegal parking for the Convenlion Center, and has been impacted by these vehicles. No sensitive or special status species are mapped for this area of the City. No impacts are expected to sensitive resources. There is no riparian habitat or other native community on the site. No wetlands occur on i the property. The site is not within a migratory corridor, nor is it suitable for a wildlife corridor, as an isolated property. The proposed project will not interfere with any City policies regarding the preservation of plants or animals. f) No Impact.

CULTURAL RESOURCES Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than No Significant With Significant Impacl Impact Mitigation impact Would the project: Incorporated a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined ❑ ❑ ❑ in 15064.52 b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource ❑ ® ❑ ❑ • pursuant to 15064.5? e) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique I paleontological resource or site or unique ❑ ❑ ❑ geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those ❑ ❑ interred outside of formal cemeieries6 Setting The City occurs in the traditional territory of the Desert Cahuilla, with a history dating back to 1,000 BC, Evidence of Cahuilla occupation in the Coachella Valley dates to over 500 years ago, when the Tribe settled around ancient Lake Cahuilla, in the area of preseni day La Quinta and India. The canyons surrounding the City also have yielded evidence of use by the Tribe, which took advantage of water sources, food sources from plants and animals, and rock for tool- making- The City's modern history began in the early 1870s, when John Guthrie McCallum purchased land in the area, and later subdivided it. Rapid expansion in the area began in the 19205, with the City's spreading repulalion as a health resort, and the increased inlerest from the Hollywood movie community. Until the end of World War II, architecture in the town site consisted primarily of Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival structures. Development was centered around Palm Canyon Drive, as hotels and shops were construc led. The City occurs well outside the boundary of ancient Lake Cahuilla, an area where paleontological resources have occurred. Further, soils in the City are generally post-Pleistocene age alluvium from the surrounding mountains, too new in the context of paleon[ology to yield fossilized remains. Discussion of Impacts a) No Impact. The project site is currently vacant, and has been impacted by surrounding development and off-road vehicle use. There are no structures on the site. No impacts to historical resources are expected. b) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation incorporated. The project site occurs within the boundaries of the Section 14 Master Plan. The EIR prepared for that project identified the potential for buried resources throughout the area, including the project site. This is was identified as a potentially significant impact which required mitigation, as follows: City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Sfudy/Mitigated Negative Declaration 21 h 'i� 3 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION V-1. Should cultural resources be encountered during the construction of the proposed projeci, work shall immediately cease and a qualified archaeologist shall be contacted to evaluate the significance of the materials. Any significant findings shall be documented and presented to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Tribe and the City, and resolved to their salisfaction. c) No Impact. The City and project site are outside the shoreline of ancient Lake Cahuilla. The site is underlain by alluvium which is not suitable for paleontological resources. No impact is expected to occur as a result of the proposed project. d) Less than Significant Impact. The project site is not known to have been used as a burial ground or cemetery in the past. It is not anticipated that any human remains will be encountered during construction of the proposed project. However, should any previously unidentified or unanticipated human remains be discovered during project construction, the proposed project would be subject to State law regarding the ' discovery and disturbance of human remains. This requires That law enforcement be notified, that the coroner determine the nature of the remains (historic or pre-historic, human or not), and that the coroner supervise the proper removal and potential re-burial of the remains. Therefore, impacts to human remains are expected to be less than significant.

Setting The San Andreas Fault zone is the major fault in the Coachella Valley. Breaks associated with the Fault cover a generally northwest-southeast trending zone approximately 10 miles wide, north and east of the project site (Smith, Pcroni & Fox, 1992). Soils in the City consist of alluvial deposits which originated in the surrounding mountains. Soils on the site consist of sands and sandy looms. City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 23 1Q , INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION Discussion of Impacts o) i) No Impact. The Son Andreas Fault system is located approximately four miles northeast of the project site. The Son Jacinto Fault System is approximately five miles south of the project site. The project site is not located within an Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, active fault rupture is unlikely to occur at the project site. ill Less Than Significant Impact. The project site will be subject to significant ground shaking during a significant earthquake on either the San Andreas or the San Jacinto fault. As a performance standard the project shall be designed and constructed to conform to the California Building Code (CBC) requirements for Seismic Zone 4. The implementation of these codes will assure Ihot construction at the site mitigates potential impacts associated with groundshaking. The impacts associated with seismic ground motion are considered to be less than significant. iii) No Impact. Liquefaction results when soils combine with shallow groundwater in a seismic event, and lose their cohesiveness. The project site does not occur in an area of shallow groundwater, and is located on primarily alluvial soils. The potential for liquefaction on the site is therefore considered negligible. In addition, the City will require site specific geotechnical analysis in conjunction with the submittal of building permils for the proposed project. This analysis will include analysis for the potential for liquefaction on the site. Any recommendations made by the soils engineer will be required of the project construction. No impacts are expected to result from liquefaction on the site. iv) No Impact. The project site is flat, and is surrounded by lands which are equally flat.There is no potential for landslide hazards on the project site. b) Less than Significant Impact. The site will be subject to both water and wind soil erosion during grading and construction. As described in the Air Quality Section, above, the City will require that the applicant prepare a PM10 Management Plan to address the potential for wind erosion at the site, as a standard requirement of project approval. The City also enforces the requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), as a co-permittee with Riverside County. NPDES requirements include the implementation of best management practices (BMP's) to assure that during construction, sediment displaced by rain storms is not transported off the site. The City will require the implementation of necessary best management practices on the project site as a standard requirement of project approval. Impacts associated with soil erosion, therefore, are expected to be less than significant. c) No Impact. The potential for unstable soils at the site is negligible. The project site is flat and does not include any known fills or imports The City will require geotechnical analysis and structural engineering to accompany building plans for the proposed project, These analyses will include requirements for excavation, re-compaction and fill at the project site. These standard requirements are expected to assure that impacts associated with soil stability are insignificant. d) No Impact. The soils of the project site are not expansive. No impact is expected.. City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 24 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION e) No Impact.

City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 26 j �? INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION Setting The proposed project site is, and has been vacant. No known chemical or hazardous waste disposal has been known to occur on the site. There are no known underground tanks or buried materials in the area. Discussion of Impacts a)-b) Less Than Significant Impact. The residents of the project are likely to store small amounts of household cleaning fluids and similar materials in their units. The City contracts with Palm Springs Disposal Services for the disposal of household hazardous waste. These programs include an ABOP (Acid, Batteries, Oil, Point) facilily, located immedialely west of the airport on Alejo Road- In addition, regional household hazardous waste programs are held throughout the year in various Coachella Valley cities. These existing programs will assure that household hazardous waste is disposed of properly, and that potential impacts associated with these materials are less than significant. The long term operation of the project site is not expected to result in the transport, use or storage of significant hazardous materials. c) No Impact. There are no schools located or planned within one quarter mile of the project site. Further, the residential units within the project are not expected to store or use hazardous materials. There will be no impact to schools. cl) No Impact. The project site is not listed as a potential hazardous materials dump or leak site on the Department of Toxic Substances' (DISC) Hazardous Waste and Substance Site List (Cortese List). The subject property is not known to previously have been a hazardous materials site, and therefore, the proposed project is not expected io create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. e-f) No Impact. The Palm Springs International Airport is located 1.5 miles east of the project site. The project site is not located within the boundaries of the airport's land use plan. There are no privale airstrips in Palm Springs. g) No Impact. The proposed project occurs on General Plan roadways, which are part of the City's emergency response plans. The project will not interfere with traffic on those roadways, nor is it anticipated to significantly impact those roadways. Circulation within the site has been reviewed by the Fire Department, to assure that the internal drives are adequate for emergency vehicles. No impact is expected. h) No Impact. The site is not located within a wild land area. Lands surrounding the site are developed for urban uses, and no hillsides occur in the vicinity. The proposed project will not expose people or structures Io a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wild land fires. Therefore, no impact is expected.

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Less Than Potentlally Significant Less Than No Significant With significant Impact Impact Miligaiion Impact Would the project: Incorporated levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? ❑ ❑ ❑ Setting The project site is located in Flood Zone C, which designates areas that are not subject to flooding. Groundwater has historically been the principal source of domestic water in the City.The project sile will be served by Desert Water Agency (DWA), which supplies domestic water to the City. The DWA pumps water from a number of wells throughout the area for domestic use. DWA also recharges groundwaier through recharge basins located in the northwestern portion of the City. Sanitary sewer services at the project site are currently provided at the City treatment plant, and will continue to be so. Discussion of Impacts a) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will result in 81 condominium units which will be connected to sanitary sewers. The construction at the site will be subject to NPDES regulations implemented by the Cily for all project construction activities, including the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP),which must include best management practices to assure that storm water leaving the site is not polluted, and does not impact water quality standards. The project will be required to meet all applicable water quality standards or waste discharge requirements of the City. The City's treatment plant has capacity to accommodate the proposed project. These standard requirements will assure that impacts associated with water quality are less than significant. b) Less than Significant Impact. The site is currently vacant and does not utilize potable water. Development of the residential units will result in a need for domestic water for interior use, and for project landscaping. Based on a consumption rate of 4.13 acre feet/acre/year for condominiums2, the residential units on the project site will generate a need for 29.4 acre feet of water per year. The project site is designated for high density residential development, and the project is consislenl wilh Ihal designalion.The Deserl Waler Agency (DWA) has adopled an Urban Water Managemeni Plan which details the availability of water for ils service area through the year 2030. Since the Plan is based on General Plan land uses, and the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, the proposed project has been included in the DWA's assumptions for water use. DWA has sufficient supplies, or plans for additional supplies to service its service area through that period. DWA will continue to 2 Water consumption factors 2004, Coachella valley Water District.

In addition, the City requires the implementation of water conserving measures in all new development. These standards and policies will help Io reduce potential impacts on wafer resources. Impacts are expected to be less than significant. c-d) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently vacant, and somewhat elevated above surrounding roadways. A preliminary hydrology study was prepared for the project, and reviewed by the City Engineer3. In addition, the City will require Final hydrology analysis when final plans are prepared for the site. The site is required to retain storm flows, and proposes to do so Through the installation of an underground retention system, As previously stated, the project will be required to comply with the City's standards associated with surface water management, including the preparation of an NPDES permit for non-point pollution associated with construction activities. A SWPPP is also required to be prepared for this project to ensure compliance with NPDES. The SWPPP must include best managemenl practices for the control of silt and pollutants during construction on the site. The City may also require, as a condition of approval, that the project install measures in accordance with applicable National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Best Management Practices (BMP's), including mechanical or other means for pre- treating storm water runoff during long term project operation, in compliance wish the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board aI the time that the project is constructed. The City's standard requirements for the control of on and off site storm flows, both during construction and operation of the proposed project, will assure that impacts associated with storm water ore reduced to less than significant levels. e) Less Than Significant Impact. As previously stated, the proposed project will be required to retain storm flows on site, and will not drain off site into off-site facilities. The City Engineer will review the final hydrology study, SWPPP and NPDES best management practices, to assure that storm flows do not exceed current volumes, and are not polluted. These standard conditions of approval will assure that impacts associated with storm flows ore reduced to less than significant levels. f) No Impact. The proposed project consists of residential condominiums and ancillary facilities. No other water quality issues are expected to result from implementation of the proposal. g-h) No Impact. The project rile is located in Flood Zone C, which designates areas that are not subject to flooding. The City Engineer will review and approve the final hydrologic study for the project site to ensure that storm water generated on and off the site does not impact downstream facilities. No impacts associated with flood zones are expected. i)-j) No Impact. The project site is not in the vicinity of a levee or dam. The City is not located in the vicinity of a body of water which could be subject to either seiche or tsunami. The project site is not subject to harards associated with mudflows. No impacts are expected- 3 Preliminary Hydrology Study, prepared by Sanborn ABE, March 2006.

Setting The California Division of Mines and Geology identifies portions of Palm Springs as a resource zone for aggregate/industrial minerals. The majority of the City is located in Mineral Resource Zone 3 MRZ-3 (an area containing mineral deposits the significance of which cannot be evaluated from available data). MRZ-2 areas are located in the northern portion of the City. MRZ-2 represents an area where adequate information has been established to indicate that significant mineral deposits are present, or where it has been judged thal a high likelihood for such deposits exists. Minerals in the Palm Springs area are limited to sand and grovel for aggregate and/or decorative stone purposes and limestone (Smith, Peroni and Fox, 1992), Discussion of Impacts a-b) No Impact. The proposed project occurs in an urbanized area of the City. The site is designated for urban residential development, and does not contain significant mineral resources. There will be no impact to mineral resources. City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 32r INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION XI.

Setting The City of Palm Springs requires that the community noise equivalent level (CNEL) does not exceed 65 dB at the exlerior living areas (rear yards) or 45 dB at the habitable interior living area for residenlial land uses. The project area is located in an area which currently experiences higher noise levels. Existing noise levels in the area of the project site currently range from 65 dBA CNEL to 70 dBA CNEL at a distance of 50 feet from the centerline of the streets. These noise levels are primarily caused by automobile traffic on surrounding streets. Discussion of Impacts a) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project proposes the construction of residential units within 80 feet of the cenlerline of Avenida Caballeros, and within 70 feet of the centerline of Amado Road. All units propose 6 foot walls at approximately 50 feet from the cenlerline of each street. The construction of walls will reduce noise levels on the ground floor of units, but will not provide protection from noise City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 33 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION for second and third story balconies which may be oriented to the streets. The distance to these balconies will reduce the potential impacts to these balconies by about 3 dBA, which may not be sufficient to reduce noise levels to 65 dBA CNEL or less. The City requires that the building plans for the proposed project include a noise study which demonstrates that City standards for interior and exterior noise levels are met through construction techniques. This noise analysis will assure that building techniques, such as balcony walls or other obstacle, are constructed to reduce noise levels to City standards. Development of the site will also result in short term impacts associated with construction noise. The peak noise level for most of the equipment that would be used during construction ranges from 70 to 95 dBA at a disicnce of 50 feet. A reduction of 6 dBA can be expected at a distance of 50 feet, which would result in noise levels at the western- most units at Casa Verde, or the southern-most units of the new La Mancha project, of 61 to 86 dBA during construction activities adjacent to that site. Construction noise is, however, temporary, and is regulated by the Municipal Code to occur during the noisier day time hours, which helps to lower the potential impacts. Should heavy equipment be stored or moinlained adjacent to either of these existing projects, however, the noise levels could potentially be sustained, which would result in a potentially significant impact which requires mitigation. Mitigation Measures In order to assure that noise impacts are reduced to less than significant levels, 1he following mitigation measures shall be implemented. xi-I. Construction activities on-site shall occur only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, and 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, as specified by the Palm Springs Noise Ordinance (11.74.041). The Construction Site Regulations (Chapter 8.04.220) also identify specific limits on hours of operation for construction equipment as not between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. if the noise produced is of such intensity or quality that it disturbs the peace and quiet of any other person of normal sensitivity. XI-2. All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers and the engines shall be equipped with shrouds. XI-3. All construction equipment shall be in proper working order and maintained in a proper state of tune to reduce backfires. XI-4. Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas shall be located as for as practical from the northern and eastern boundaries of the site. XI-5. Parking, refueling and servicing operations for all heavy equipment shall be located of the southeast corner of the site. XI-6. Stationary equipment shall be placed such that Emitted noise is directed away from noise-sensitive receptors. XI-7. The final acoustical study for the proposed project shall include exterior noise analysis and recommendations for second and third floor balconies to assure City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declarafio� 34 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION that exterior noise levels do not exceed 65 dBA; and interior noise analysis and recommendations to assure that noise levels maintained at 45 dBA or bet ler. b) No Impact. Temporary and period ground borne vibration may occur during construction of the project, particularly as heavy equipment grades the site. These vibrations would not be expected to be sustained , and since grading equipment moves across a site, would be short term. No long term impacts associated with vibration are expected From the development of the residential units. c) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project's contribution to area noise levels will primarily be from vehicles on area roadways. The project is estimated to generate about 475 average daily trips. This is not a significant number of trips as compared to those trips generated by existing and planned land uses in the area (such as the Convention Center and the proposed hotel), and it is expected that the contribution to area noise levels from the proposed project will be less than significant. d) Less Than Significant Impact. Please see response (b), above, e,f) No Impact. Palm Springs International Airport is located 1.5 miles east of the proposed project, and does not conduct flight operations over the proposed project. There are no private airstrips in Palm Springs. No impacts associated with aircraft operational noise levels are expected.

POPULATION AND HOUSING Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than No Significant With Significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Would theproject: Incorporaled a) Induce substantial population growth in on area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or ❑ ❑ ❑ indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of ❑ ❑ ❑ replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of ❑ ❑ ❑ replacement housing elsewhere? Setting The City of Palm Springs population grew from 40,181 to 42,807 from 1990 to 2000. This represents a 6.5 increase over the ten year period. In 2006, the City's population is estimated at 46,437, an increase of 8.5% in five years. Housing units increased from 30,517 to 30,823 from 1990 to 2000, and to 32,841 in 2006- The City has an average of 2.1 persons per household. Discussion of Impacts a) No Impact. The proposed project will result in 81 condominium units, and a potenliol population of 170 people. The project is not large, and is likely to absorb population growth which would otherwise occur in the City over time. The project does not include any component which might induce population growth. No impact is expected . b, c) No Impact. The project site is vacant, and the project will therefore not result in the destruction of housing, or the displacement of people.

The Palm Springs Fire Department will provide service to the proposed project site. The Department currently operates five fire stations located throughout the city. The station closest to the project site is station #442, located at 300 N. El Cielo, 1.5 miles from the project sile. The station houses one 85' aerial platform, one 1,800 gallon water tender, and one breathing support vehicle. The station is manned on a 24 hour basis with one Captain, one Engineer, and one Firefighter. Also available to serve the project site are station #441, located at 277 North Indian Canyon, about 2.5 miles from the project site, and station #443, located at 590 E. Racquet Club, about two miles from the project site. The City has established maximum fire response time al five minutes. The Department receives funding for operational and capital improvements through the City's General Fund (Smith, Peroni & Fox, 1992). Police Protection. The City of Palm Springs Police Departmeni provides law enforcement services within the City Limits. The Department has a Services Division and an Operations Division. The Department does not have a standard ratio of officers to population, but does have a desired response time of 6 minutes for emergency calls and 20 minutes for non- emergency calls. The Department is funded from the City's General Fund (Smith, Peroni & Fox, 1992). Schools. The Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) provides educational services for grades K-12 in the City of Palm Springs. Currently, there are 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 1 high school in the City. PSUSD receives funding from school facilities fees, stale funding, and local funding. PSUSD is authorized to collect school facilities fees as provided for in Government Code Section 53080 et. seq. and 65995 et seq. in the amount of $2.35 per square foot of residential development. City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 37 1 f r 1 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION Parks. The City of Palm Springs has seven parks located on approximately 140-acres within its boundaries. These include Desert Highland Park, Victoria Park, Ruth Hardy Park, Sunrise Park, 8aristo Park, Demuth Park and Palm Springs dog park. The City has a standard park ratio of 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 population as required by City Ordinance 1632, Discussion of Impacts a) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will generate additional need for fire protection for the City Fire Department, but is not expected to require additional services beyond those currently available The City includes, as a standard condition of approval, requirements that projects participate in Community Facilities District(s) to assure that the costs associated with added services are recovered. This condition will assure that impacts to fire services are reduced to less than significant levels.. b) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will generate additional need for police protection, because of the addition of residential units in the area. The Police Department will be provided building plans for review prior to the approval of the project, to assure that defensible space is provided within the project boundaries. The City includes, as a standard condition of approval, requirements [hat projects participate in Community Facilities District(s) to assure that the costs associated with added police services are recovered. This standard requirement will assure that impacts to police services are reduced to less than significant levels. c) Less Than Significant Impact. School services throughout the City are provided by the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD). The project proponent will be required to pay the mandated school fees in place at the time that building permits are issued. The payment of these fees is designed to offset the additional students generated by the proposed project. This fee will assure that the impacls to schools are reduced to less than significant levels. d) Less Than Significant Impact. The City has implemented a "Quimby" or park fee ordinance to assure that adequate park space is provided for future residents. The project proponent will be required to pay the park fees in place al the time that building permits ore issued. This fee will assure that the impacts to City parks are reduced to less than significant levels. e) Less Than Significant Impact. The addition of 81 housing units will not impact general government or other municipal services.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC Less Than Potentiolly Significant Less Than No Significant WRh Significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Would theproject: Incorporated a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substonliel in relation to the existing Irarfic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a ❑ El ® ❑ substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the ❑ ❑ ® El congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either on increase in traffic levels or a El El ❑ change in location that results in substantial safety risks? all Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous Elintersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ f) Resuli in inadequate parking capacity? ❑ ❑ ❑ g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation ❑ ❑ ❑ (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle rocks)? Setting The proposed project is located at the northeast corner of Amado Road and Avenida Caballeros. Avenida Caballeros is designated a Major Thoroughfare, with a 100 foot right of way. The Section 14 Master Plan calls for a 64 foot curb-to-curb street seciion for this area of Avenida Caballeros, with no parking and a Class I bikeway. Amado Road is designated o Secondary Thoroughfare, with an 80 foot righl of way, and a 64 foot paved width, as delineated in the Master Plan. Discussion of Impacts a-fib) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project will result in the construction of 81 condominiums, which will generate approximately 475 average doily trips. This is well below the potential 206 units and 1,208 trips which could be generated from the site if it were built out to General Plan density. Since the site was included in the Section 14 Master Plan EIR, and since the assumptions in that document included the site development of a 75 room hotel, the trip generation for the site is expected to be City of Palm Springs W Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 40 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION considerably lower than originally anticipated. The EIR further identified that the intersection of Avenida Caballeros and Amado would operate at level of service A in the mid-doy peak, and level of service B in the evening peak, and that surrounding signalized intersections, including the Tahquitz Canyon/Avenida Caballeros intersection, would all operate at acceploble levels of service in 2010. Therefore, it is expected that the impacts associated with the proposed project would fall well within those described in the Section 14 EIR, and impacts would be expected to be less than significant. c) No Impact. The proposed project will have no impact on air traffic patterns. d) Less than Significant Impact. The project includes internal drives of 24 feet in width, with 90 degree turns throughout the site. The Engineering Department has reviewed the internal driveway configuration, and required modifications to improve sight distance and driveability throughout the site. Impacts are expected to be less than significant. e) No Impact. The Fire Department has reviewed the project plans, including special attention to the turning radii necessary to maneuver the largest of the City's trucks through the area.This review has resulted in changes, which will continue to be reviewed throughout the plan check process, to assure that adequate access is available to the Department throughout the site. Impacts are expected to be less than significant- I) No Impact. The proposed meets Zoning Ordinance requirements for the provision of parking throughout the site. No on-slreel parking will be permitted on the interior drives, but parking has been provided adjacent to each unit, to include both resident and guest parking. No impact is expected. g) No Impact. The proposed project is in the vicinity of existing SunLine Transit routes, and residents will have easy access to transit services. The proposed project is not expected to impact Sunl-ine's capacity. No impacts are expected.

Setting The City owns a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located at 4375 Mesquite Way. The plant has a capacity of approximately 10.9 mgd and demands typically range from 7 to 8 mgd. Water service is provided by the Desert Water Agency (DWA). DWA obtains most of its water supply from groundwater. The City is located within two subbosins of the Coachella Valley Ground Water Basin: The Mission Creek subbosin; and the Garnet Hill and Palm Springs subareas of the WhitewoterSubbasin. Solid waste service is provided by Palm Springs Disposal Service. Solid waste generated in the City is sent to the Edom Hill transfer station located in the City of Cathedral City. Permitted throughput of the facility is 2,600 tons per day. Solid waste from the transfer station is disposed of City of Palm Springs Privado November 2006 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 42 INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE DECLARATION at one of three landfills: Lambs Canyon (remaining capacity 25,967,000 cubic yards); Badlands Landfill (remaining capacity 15,036,809 cubic yards); or El Sobronle Landfill (remaining capacity 184,930,000) (City of Palm Springs, 2005). Drainage from the surrounding moun loins drains to the valley floor and is directed by sheet flow, channels, and other improvements including levees, reinforced concrete pipe and drainage channels to the Palm Canyon Wash and the Whitewater Wash (Smith, Peron!, Fox, 1992). The project sile is located in Flood Zone C, which designates areas that are not subject to flooding. Discussion of Impacts a-b, e) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project will be required to connect to the City's sewer system. Wastewater will be conveyed to the Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant is regulated by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and standard permitting and monitoring ensure that treatment requirements for waste discharges are not exceeded. The projected capacity of the plant is 10.9 million gallons per day (mgd), with demands typically ranging from 7 to 8 mgd per day. Domestic wastewater flows average about 100 gallons per capita per day4. The project could generate a population of 170 persons, which cold generale 17,000 gallons per day, or 0.017 mgd. Available capacity exists to serve the proposed project. The proposed project will be required to pay connection fees to hook into the existing lines. Impacts are expected to be less than significant. c) No impact. The proposed project proposes to retain on-site storm water in underground retention areas. The City Engineer will require the preparation of a final hydrology study, when final plans for the project are submilled, to assure that the site's storm water retention system meets all City standards. No impact is expected. d) Less Than Significant Impact. The project proponent will be required to connect to existing DWA wafer infrastructure available adjacent to the site. Water service requirements may include, but are not limited lo, upgrades, modifications, replacement, and abandonment of existing DWA focililies. These improvements may require construction within and adjacent to public rights-of-way and exiting and/or proposed easements. Construction will occur in accordance with DWA and Cily requirements. Impacts are expected to be less than significant. f-g) Less Than Significant Impact. Palm Springs Disposal Service provides solid waste disposal services for the project site, with waste hauled to facilities including the Badlands Landfill and the Lambs Canyon Landfill, both of which have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed project. In addition, on-site recycling and solid waste source reduction programs will be implemented at project build-out in accordance with local and state requirements, including AB 1327. Chapter 18 (California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Access Act of 1991). Impacts are expected to be less than significant. A Environmental Analysis Handbook, John Rau and David Wooten, 1980.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE NOTE: If there are significant environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated and no feasible project alternalives are available, then complete the mandatory findings of significance and attach to this initial study os an appendix. This Is the first step for starting the environmental impact report (EIR) process. Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significont significant significant Impact Impact With Impact Mitigation Does the project: Incorporated a) Have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a ❑ ® ❑ plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of o rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Have impacts ihot are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means Ihat the incremental effects of a project are considerable when ❑ ❑ ® ❑ viewed in connection with the effects of post projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Hove environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, ❑ ® ❑ ❑ either directly or indirectly? a) Less Than Significant Impact, The proposed project does not have the potential to significantly degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitot of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threolen to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, because the site has been significantly impacted and does not contain native habitats or species of concern. No historic or paleontological resources occur on the site. The project is required to underiake cultural resource analysis if buried resources are identified on the site, thereby reducing potential impacts to less than significant levels. b) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project is consistent with the Section 14 Master Pion, and the General Plan, insofar as it proposes high density residential, as designated. The project is developing well below the allowable densities in these designations. Therefore, the proposed project is expected to result in lower cumulative impacts than those previously analyzed for the General Plan or the Section 14 Master Pion.

Comments on the Staff Report and Conditions of Approval: 1) Page 2 of 8 — Prior actions also mentioned on Page 5 of 8 tinder Architecture: a. The AAC comments that the project should consider the orientation of units to assure that taller units within the project do not look down into opposing units private open space areas, so that privacy between these units is maintained" i. Response: It was a discussion at the AAC brought up my one member and not part of the motion that the AAC made when approving the project. It is a matter of reality when densities of attached projects are two or more stories that this will occur which can only be accomplished in single- family dwelling projects. There is no condition of approval attached to this comment. 2) Project Description: a. Correction: Only one trait floor plan has a split-level floor plan with five floors per unit. All the other plans are three stories with full flights of stairs between them. 3) Reference to the access road off Amado. The connection passes through the Ventana del Sol project not the Nexus/haMancha project currently under construction. The Ventana del Sol project is completed. 4) Page 4 of 8—Distance between the clubhouse building and unit 1357. a. This issue has never before been raised to the development team. The distance between the buildings is, in fact, 5 feet not three feet. If is creates a public safety hazard, then we will install a fence between the spaces but connecting the buildings creates occupancy separation problems as they are different uses. 5) Pg. 5 of 8—Access a. Again correct reference to existing Ventana Del Sol project and not future Nexus development. 2121 East Tahquitz Canyon Way,Suite 1, Palm Springs, CA 92262•TEL 760.325.7920 FAx 760.406.5872 enterprise ccjII CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Itcm Number. 29. The COA's are inconsistent with the design drawings that indicate pavers, wherein the COA's reflect asphalted concrete paving. We would like to modify the plans to show that asphalted concrete is consistent with the COA's. 39. Public Easements: This issue is an ongoing discussion with the City, the Bureau of radian Affairs and various other agencies, including the DWA. I would like to request that this condition will be modified based upon the outcome of the discussions occurring amongst these entities. 93 to 96) Residential Smoke Detector Installation: I would like to request that these conditions dealing with the fire alarm devices, Items 93 to 96, be subject to the verification of what is required by the code. We will comply with any code requirements, but find that these items have not been required in previous projects and create problems with the project. We also question whether the interpretation of the code has been accurately interpreted by the Fire Department in requesting these conditions_ 101, through 104. I would like to request that these items be stricken as Conditions of Approval. We submitted plans to the Fire Department, they reviewed them, and we revised and resubmitted plans based upon their acceptance. The Condition of Approval requirements should address the project that was reviewed and not be boiler plate requirements that we have already complied with. 105. Reduced Roadway Width. I like to request that this condition be eliminated. We are striving to create a quality environment and by striping the entire street edges with red striping destroys the quality of life that we are striving to create. Further, we have adopted other measures, such as signage, which is less intrusive and enforcement in the CC&R's to manage the issue of blocked roadways. 119 though 127, I'd like these conditions restricted. They are not applicable as there are no commercial cooking appliances on the site. The community building contains a residential stove and oven, only. 2121 East Tohgvilz Canyon Way,Suite 1, Palm Springs, CA 92262•TEL 760.325.7920 FAX 760.406.5872 G 1'S' r )"q AQUA CAL � CNTG BAND OE CAHU@LLA 9NDEAN5 -TRIBAL PLANNING P- DEVELOPMENT " January 10, 2007 HAND DELIVERED AND VIA FACSIMILE Mayor Ron Oden and City Council CITY OF PALM SPRINGS 3200 Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, California 92262 RE: Case No. 3.2952, TTM 35019, Privado Dear Mayor and City Council, The Tribal Council of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians reviewed the above referenced project at its meeting of January 9, 2007, and recommends approval of the project to the City Council subject to the conditions of approval recommended by the Indian Planning Commission (Attachment A).
