D . City Council Staff Report May 3, 2006 -- Page 2 Case No. 5.1056/ PD 314/TTM 33575 STAFF ANALYSIS: As originally proposed, the project consists of 26 live-work units, 80 two-story attached townhomes and 15,000 square feet of retail space located on 11.1 acres at the northeast corner of South Palm Canyon Road and Mesquite Avenue (see attached Council staff report). At the Council hearing of February 15, 2006, the City Council identified the following concerns and directed that the project be returned to the Architectural Advisory Committee and Planning Commission for additional review (see attached meeting minutes): - The row of live-work units fronting South Palm Canyon has a strip- commercial appearance. The Council was also concerned that the live-work use may or may not function as intended, and may become a less desirable residential land use. - Internal road access appears confusing — "too curvy" - Internal buildings are not organized to maximize view corridors to San Jacinto Mountains - Architectural details must provide high quality design, especially on streetscape elevations The applicant revised the site plan in response to these concerns and resubmitted for Architectural Advisory Committee and Planning Commission review. The project amendments include: 1. Live-work units along South Palm Canyon are clustered for more internal orientation 2. Internal streets are somewhat more straight than curved. 3. Internal buildings are re-oriented to strengthen east-west view corridors. 4. Retail commercial buildings are re-oriented to place free-standing building on corner. 5. Total number of residential units is reduced from 106 to 100 units. On April 10, 2006, the Architectural Advisory Committee reviewed the revised site plan and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the revisions. However, several members of the AAC noted that the original site plan was also acceptable and some commented that they supported the street-facing live-work units. On April 12, 2006, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the revised project. By a vote of 4 to 0 (Marantz, Ringlein and Shoenberger absent), 'the Commission recommended approval of the revisions and indicating its support for maintaining commercial visibility along South Palm Canyon Drive.

To the north is the Tahquitz Creek Channel, to the south is some commercial development and single family residential, to the west is South Palm Canyon Drive, a car dealership, restaurant, and entitled timeshare project, and to"the east is a church, small hotels, and single family residential. Therefore, the proposed retail/residential development is consistent with surrounding land uses. City Council Staff Report November 16, 2005 Case 5.1056, PD314,TTM 33575 The subject property is currently vacant but in the 1960s, was formerly the site of a supermarket, drug store, and restaurant, which have since been demolished.

In December of 2003 the Planning Commission made recommendations the City Council on this site. The City Council approved the development. The Huddle Springs project did not continue with development, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The General Plan Planned Development Districts (PDD) and Zoning Ordinance Section 94.03(B)(5) states that: "...the Planned Development District is designed to provide various types of land use, which can be combined in compatible relationship with each other as part of a totally planned development. It is the intent of this district to insure compliance with the General Plan and good Zoning practice while allowing certain desirable departures from the strict provisions of specific zone classifications. The advantages, which are intended to result from the application of the planned development district, are to be insured by the adoption of a precise development plan with a specific time limit for commencement of construction." While the Planning Commission supported the overall project concept the site plan, it conditioned its approval on modifications to the site plan to increase the number of on- site parking spaces at the north end. The applicant submitted addition parking for the Mesquite Development Plans, as a attachement.While a specific number of additional parking spaces was not identified by the Commission, staff believes that between three and six additional spaces would fufili the Commission's objectives. The applicant shows seven parking spaces. NOTIFICATION The public hearing notice for the proposed project was published in the Desert Sun newspaper. All property owners within 400' of the project site have been notified of the public hearing. As of the writing of this report, staff has received no inquiries or comments.

FOR: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 314 (PD-314) AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 33575 (TTM 33575) FOR THE PALM CANYON 102 L.P., A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF 26 LIVE-WORK UNITS, 80 TWO-STORY ATTACHED TOWHOMES AND 15,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL SPACE LOCATED ON 11.1 ACRES BOUND BY THE TAHQUITZ CREEK CHANNEL TO THE NORTH, RANDOM ROAD TO THE EAST, MESQUITE AVENUE TO THE SOUTH, AND SOUTH PALM CANYON DRIVE TO THE WEST, ZONE C-1, SECTION 23. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve: PD-314 and TTM 33575 for the Palm Canyon 102 L.P., a mixed-use development consisting of 26 live-work units, 80 two-story townhomes, and 15,000 square foot retail. The project site is located on approximately 11 acres bound by Tahquitz Creek Channel to the north, Random Road to the east, Mesquite Avenue to the south, and South Palm Canyon Drive to the west, Zone C-1, Section 23. The applicant is Huddle Springs Development, LLC. BACKGROUND The proposed development is located at the northeast corner of South Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue. The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the intended land use for this zone, per Sections 92.12.00 (C-1) and 92.04.00 (R-3) of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan designation of RC (Resort Commercial) for the subject property. To the north is the Tahquitz Creek Channel, to the south is some commercial development and single family residential, to the west is South Palm Canyon Drive, a car dealership, restaurant, and entitled timeshare project, and to the east is a church, small hotels, and single family residential. Therefore, the proposed retail/residential development is consistent with surrounding land uses. The subject property is currently vacant but in the 1960s, was formerly the site of a supermarket, drug store, and restaurant, which have since been demolished. The property is approximately 11 acres with a lot width of approximately 570 feet and lot depth of approximately 650 feet. The developer has also recently acquired the single parcel of land (APN #508-172- 007), consisting of 0.58 acres, located at the northwest corner of the project site. In December of 2003 the Planning Commission made recommendations the City Council on this site. The City Council approved the development. The Huddle Springs project did not continue with development. The project will include development consisting of 26 live-work units, 80 two-story townhomes and 15,000 square foot retail. The project is laid out with the residential component located cn the western portion of the site and the commercial component on the eastern portion'of the site. The AAC reviewed the project and gave a recornmendation to Planning Commission on July 25, 2005. The townhouses range in size from 1,541 square fleet to 2,000 square feet. The live-work unit range in size from 1,364 square feet to 1,066 square feet, work area range from 700 square feet to 338 square feet. Parking is provided at grade and below grade. Table 1: Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zoning, and Land Uses General Plan Zoning Land Uses North W W Tahquitz Creek Channel South RC, L4 C-1, R-2, R-1-C Single Family Residential, Offices, Mesquite Avenue East H 43121, M15, L4 R-3, R-2, R-1-C Single Family Residential, Hotels, Church, Random Road West RC C-2, PD-260, C-1 Car dealership, Vacant land - entitled timeshare project, Restaurant, South Palm Canyon Drive ANALYSIS The proposed development is located in an area with residential and commercial uses. In addition, the General Plan designation of Resort Commercial for the property encourages active retail and hotel uses. The site design allows the project to transition from commercial uses to the residential uses that are located on Random Road and Mesquite Avenue. The developer has proposed 15,000 square feet of retail space. The Planned Development District is an appropriate mechanism for consideration of the project because it allows flexibility in property development standards while also allowing for the mixed use development. If the project is divided between the residential Component and the commercial component, it complies with all development standards of the R-3 and C-1 zones. Staff supports the modifications to setbacks and building height. Table 2:Zoning Requirements and Proposals Allowed/Required Proposed R-3 C-1 Residential Commercial Building Setbacks: Front(S. Palm Cyn. Dr.) 25 feet 5 feet 10 feet 20-35 feet; Side Front(Mesquite Avenue) 20 feet 5 feet 22 feet 20-feet Rear(Random Road) 32 feet 5feet 20 feet Side(Tahquitz Creek Channel) 32 feet 0 feet 10 feet Open Space 45% 50%of 45% setback areas Building Height 24 feet 30 feet 23 to 33 feet Density -241 units 107 units The proposed building setbacks are consistent with what could be allowed in the R-3 and C-1 zone standards. The increase in building height to 32 feet is to allow for architectural roof projections. Despite the request for increased building height, the residential units will not exceed Iwo stories. The project is sensitive to the surrounding residential development demonstrated by the large setbacks adjacent to Random Road and Mesquite Avenue. In addition, the entire commercial component of the project is located on the western portion of the property, closer to South Palm Canyon Drive in order to allow the transition to the residential uses surrounding the eastern portion of the project site. Based upon the R-3 standards and the General Plan designation of Resort Commercial, the property has a maximum allowable density of 241 dwelling units (21 units/acre). The proposal will include development consisting of 26 live-work units, 80 two-story townhomes. The project is consistent with the General Plan designation of Resort Commercial, which allows a maximum density of up to 43 units/net acre for visitor serving residential uses and encourages a mix of land uses. The project proposes to provide parking consistent with the ratios established in Section 93M6.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance. The project has been designed to provide enclosed and surface parking at the eastern portion of the property and surface and below grade parking for the commercial component on the western portion of the property. The parking analysis is shown in Table 3. Table 3:Parking Required and Proposed Required Proposed Residential 26-Livelwork units= 36.25 spaces 55 assigned covered spaces 80-Townhouses 1.5= 120.00 spaces 160 assigned garage spaces Guest units= 26.50 spaces 30 open quest spaces TOTAL 182.75 spaces 245 spaces Commercial 15,000sf retail/300 sf= 50 spaces p 54 spaces TOTAL 243spaces 299 spaces The proposal will be compatible with surrounding land uses because the property is in an area that is surrounded by commercial and residential development. The subject property is located in the South Palm Canyon Redevelopment Project Area, part of the Merged Redevelopment Project No. 1. The project is consistent with the South Palm Canyon Redevelopment Plan, which includes some of the following goals: Eliminate Physical, Social, and Environmental Deficiencies by the elimination of environmental deficiencies including small and irregular lots and deteriorated public improvements; Assemble and Consolidate Land suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; and • Stimulate Economic Development by strengthening the economic base of the Project Area and the community by the installation of needed site improvements to stimulate new commercial expansion, employment, and economic growth. Possible resolutions include shifting the driveway or building a wall and landscaping for the property owners. The final details shall be included as part of the final development plans. The project is also required to provide a bike path along the Tahquitz Creek Channel, as shown on the General Plan Circulation Map. The developer should consult with Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for permission to use the flood easement for the bike path; otherwise, the bike path shall be constructed on-site. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND NOTIFICATION Adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact was prepared for the proposed General Plan Amendment and project is included as an attachment to this report. The Environmental Assessment was distributed to local agencies and interested parties. In completing the environmental assessment, staff found that there may be some potentially significant impacts such as air quality, cultural resources, noise, and transportation/traffic. The impacts to air quality and noise are the result of short-term construction and grading activities. The impacts to cultural resources are the result of the project site's proximity to an area know to contain significant archaeological resources. Appropriate mitigation has been proposed in order to reduce impacts to cultural resources to a less than significant level. Impacts resulting from project traffic were analyzed in a traffic study completed for the development. The traffic study recommended that the developer make a contribution towards traffic calming measures for the neighborhood. Upon completion of the Environmental Assessment, staff found that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because of the mitigation measures described in the Adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration. All property owners within four hundred (400) feet of the subject property as well as interested persons have been notified. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map 2, Environmental Assessment 3, Resolutions 4.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the ® environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment, but at least one ❑ effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in on earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that 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 pro4.ci, nothing further is required. Signa lurel�l Date Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declar, August 1.0-4 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION EVALUATION Or ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" 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., the 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 pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off site as well as on- site, 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 FIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" 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"Earlier Analyses,"as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the fiering, program FIR, or other CEGA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier FIR 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 are 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 state 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 that were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is subsi'anliated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August' 1.0--5 I .I I MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION 8) This is only q suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formals; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, itchy, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic El El vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock ❑ ❑ ❑ 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 that would adversely affect day or ❑ ❑ ® ❑ nighttime views in the area? a-b) No Impact. The project will not affect a scenic vista or substantially damage scenic resources or trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings within a state scenic highway. The project is not located on a state scenic highway and is surrounded by urban development on all 4 sides. In addition, the project has been designed to be sensitive to the surrounding residential community by locating the commercial uses along South Palm Canyon Drive and the residential uses towards the eastern portion of the property. The project complies with all property development standards of the C-1 and R-3 zones for the commercial and residential components, respectively. The only relief being requested is for an increase in building height up to 32 feet for some roofline projections. The maximum allowable building height in the C-1 zone and R-3 zones are 30 feet and 24 feet, respectively. c-d) Less than Signiticanf. The project may have the potential to affect the existing visual character of the surroundings due to the site being vacant for an extensive period of time. The project meets all property development standards of the C-1 zone, with the exception of some minor additions to building height for some roof and window vertical extensions. Overall, the project responds fa the residential and small hotel uses on the south and east of the property while being consistent with the commercial frontage of South Palm Canyon Drive. Some commercial uses are also being proposed for the project that could potentially be a new source of light and glare. However, all lighting will be required to comply with Section 93.21.00 of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the project will have a less than significant impact on the visual character of the site and surroundings and light and glare in the neighborhood.

In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997), prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared ❑ ❑ ❑ pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ ❑ ❑ use, or a Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or ❑ ❑ ❑ EJ nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use? a) No Impact. The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency has not designated this area as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. No impact to farmland would occur. b) No Impact. No Williamson Act Contracts are located on the parcel comprising the project site. Furthermore, no Williamson Act Contracts are located in the immediate vicinity of the project site (Williamson Act Contracts) of the Palm Springs General Plan EIR (Palm Springs, 7992). Therefore,no impacts to Williamson Act Contracts would occur. c) No Impact. The proposed project site is located in an urban area surrounded by an exrsling urban land uses. Implementation of the proposed project would fhererore not result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. There will be no impact to agriculi ural land.

AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ❑ ❑ ® ❑ substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an ❑ El El federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial ❑ ❑ ❑ pollutant concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a ❑ ❑ ❑ GJ substantial number of people? a,b) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The applicable air quality plan for the project area is the 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (2003 AQMP. CEQA requires that projects be consistent with the applicable AQMP. The proposed project will conform to the SCAQMD 2003 AQMP. The SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook indicates in Chapter b that the SCAQMD considers a project to be less than significant if its impact is mitigated below the identified thresholds. Additionally, the project site is located in the Coachella Valley, which is under the recently adopted 2002 Coachella Valley PMm State Implementation Plan. The CVPMioSIP requires the development and implementation of a dust control plan for all grading activities in the Coachella Valley requiring a grading permit. A dust control plan shall be submitted by the developer to the Building Department, prior to issuance of any grading permits. This project will, during the short-term period of construction, have the potential of exposing nearby properties to higher levels of dust emissions normally expected to occur during construction activities. However, construction of this project will be regulated between the regular City-permitted working hours of 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. on Saturday. Emissions associated with construction include any demolition, grading er excavating activities. Dust emissions also vary depending on the level of activity, the specific operations and weather conditions. Since the project is located in the Coachella Valley, which has significant problems with PMIO generation, a dust control plan will need to be developed and implemented in accordance with the 2002 Coachella Valley PMIOSlate Implementation Plan. Mesquite Village,lni6a/Study/Mitigated Negative Dec/a, Augus 1.0-9 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION The project is nol' anilpipated to conflict with or obstruct implementation of 2003 AQMP. There will be no impact. The Federal and California State Ambient Air Quality Standards for important pollutants are summarized in Table t and described in detail below.

The creation of ozone Ise 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 irritation and damage to lung tissues. Carbon Monoxide(COI Is a colorless,odorless,toxic gas formed by Incomplete combustion of fossil fiefs. CO concentrations are generally higher in the winter, when meteorological conditions favor the build-up of directly emitted contaminants. CO health warning and emergency episodes occur almost entirely during the winter. 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. Nftrogen Oxides(NOxI 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. Sulfur Dioxide(SO2)results from the combustion of high sulfur content fuels. Fuel combustion Is the major source of S02, while chamicatplants,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). Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) consists of particles 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. PM10 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 sneers also referred to as PM2.5. Lead is found in old paints and coatings, plumbing and a variety of other materials Once in the blood stream, load can cause damage to the brain, nervous system, and other body systems. Children are most susceptible to the effects of lead. The South' - - County Air Basin and riverside County portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin are in attainment for the federal and State standards for lead. Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Deolarati August 20 1.0-10 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION The SCQAMD has established significance thresholds for operational and construction- related emissions. Daily and quarterly thresholds are established. Since a project's quarterly emissions are determined by averaging over a 3-month period (including only actual working days), it is possible to not exceed the quarterly thresholds while exceeding the daily thresholds shown in Table 2.

When adopted in 1993, the City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Consideration regarding air quality. This statement acknowledges that it is not feasible to reduce Cify-growth impacts to air quality to a level of insignificance at this time. The project will also be consistent with the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook. I Construction of the proposed project will result in the disturbance of the entire site that could generafe dust. The project developer will be required to complete a Storrnwater Pollution Prevention Plan SWPPP/PM10 Plan that must be prepared and implemented to the satisfaction of the City Building and Safety Department. The Plan must be consistent with the approved AQMD standards intended to minimize health hazards. The following mitigation measures will ensure that potential impacts to air quality are reduced to less than significant levels. MITIGATION MEASURES 1. Prior to beginning construction activities, the project proponent of the building contract will develop and submit a dust control plan to the City's Building Department, in accordance with the 2002 Coachella Valley PMIo State Implementation Plan. 2. The project shall comply with Palm Springs Municipal Code Tifle S, Chapter 8.50 — Fugitive Dust and Erosion Control. 3. Any vegetative ground cover to be utilized on-site shall be planted as soon as possible to reduce the amount of open space subject to wind erosion. Irrigation systems needed to wafer these plans shall be installed as soon as possible to maintain the ground cover and minimize blow sand. 4. The contractor will ensure that all construction equipment is properly serviced and maintained. All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition to reduce operational emissions. Mesquite Village,initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declam,"-- August 1.C-11 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION 5. During construction, the site shall be watered and equipment cleaned in the morning and evening. 6. During consfruction, all trucks leaving the site shall be washed off to reduce fugitive dust from being tracked onto local roadways. This measure requires the removal of particulate matter from equipment prior to movement on paved streets to control particulate emissions. As part of the conditions of grading permit approval, the construction crew shall wheel wash construction equipment and cover dirt in trucks during onsite hauling. Haul trucks leaving the site also are required to have a minimum freeboard distance of 12 inches, or to cover payloads. c-ej No Impact. With the incorporation of construction related mitigation measures, the proposed project would not result in any significant air quality impacts and therefore would not contribute to a cumulatively considerable net increase of any: criteria pollutants or ozone precursors, substantial pollutant concentrations and/or objectionable Odors.

The site does not contain any wetland areas or waters. Therefore, no impact to federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 would occur. d) No Impact. The project site is located within an existing urban area and is currently vacant. There are no wildlife corridors on or through the project site, and the proposed project will not interfere with the movement of any species or biological resource. No impact is anticipated. e) No Impact. The project does not propose any removal or disturbance of sensitive biological resources or landmark trees. Therefore, no conflicts with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources would occur. f) No impact. The City of Palm Springs does not have an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or Slate habitat conservation plan. Therefore, the project would have no impact on these types of plans.

The site has been previously graded. As defined in CEQA 15064.5, no significant historic resources exist on this site. The General Plan for the City of Palm Springs indicates there should be no impact to prehistoric archeological resources as a result of this project. The Archeological Research Unit at the University of California, Riverside, conducted a survey in 1993 that included the proposed project site. At that time there were no rock shelters, lifhic workshops, milling features or seasonal habilation areas noted within the vicinity of the proposed site. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians utilized a vast territory beyond the bounds of the existing reservation. The possibility of finding human remains does exist in this area. In accordance with Public Resources Code 5.097.94, if human remains are found, the Riverside County Coroner must be notified within 24 hours of the discovery. If the coroner determines that the remains are not recent, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento to determine the most likely descendent for the area. The designated Native American representative then determines in consultation with the property owner the disposition of the human remains. Due to the proximity of Tribal lands, There is the potential for previously undiscovered cultural resources to be discovered during project construction and site grading activities. Tribal interests in such previously undiscovered resources prescribes the following Conditions of Approval, which shall be incorporated into the entitlement process as,mitigation measures. Mitigation Measures 1. An archeologist qualified according to the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines shall perform a record search of the proposed project area, to be conducted prior to the Initiation of construction.

GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death, involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other ❑ ❑ ❑ substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? ❑ ❑ ❑ iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including ❑ ❑ ❑ liquefaction? iv) Landslides? ❑ ❑ ❑ b) Result in substantial sail erosion or the loss of ❑ ❑ ❑ topsoil? c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- ❑ ❑ ❑ or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefactlon or collapse? d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), ❑ ❑ ❑ creating substantial risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater El El Eldisposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? CI) i) No Impact. The majority of Riverside County lies within areas subject to seismic hazards. the site is not located within an Alquisi-Priolo earthquake hazard zone and there are no known faults crossing the project site. However, the project site, as with virtually all sites within the state,would be vulnerable to ground shaking in the event of an earthquake. The project site and surrounding vicinity are relatively flat, eliminating the potential for landslides. The City of Palm Springs General Plan requires Thai the project be designed and constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). Adherence to the provisions of the UBC would reduce potential for structural damage in the event of an earthquake. Therefore,no impact would occur. Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2001 1,0-17 �r MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION ii) No impact. Any major earthquake damage in the City of Palm Springs is likely to occur from ground shaking and seismically related ground and sirucfural failures. Local soil conditions, such as topography, soil strength, thickness, density, water content, and firmness of underlying bedrock affect seismic response. Seismically induced shaking and some damage should be expected to occur but damage should be no more severe in the project area than elsewhere in the region. Therefore, no impact would occur. iii) No impact. There are no known geological hazards caused by ground failure or liquefaction which would prevent use of the site. Therefore, no impact would occur. iv) No impact. The ground is level and approval of the project would not expose people or structures to potential landslides.Therefore, no impact would occur. b) No impact. Existing codes regulate land grading and erosion control if and when construction occurs during winter months (November-March). Therefore, no impact would occur. c-d) No Impact. See items a and b, above. e) No Impact. The proposed project will be linked to the surrounding utility system including the municipal sewer systems. No septic tanks will be used.

The proposed site is not known to contain hazardous materials. The project site is zoned and designated for residential and commercial land uses, therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to handle, store, or transport hazardous materials. As a result, the proposed project will result in less than significant impacts related, to hazardous materials. The project site is located within a quarter-mile of Cahuilla School, located at the Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declare August; 1.0-19 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION southeast corner of Mesquite Avenue and Camino Real. However, as previously discussed above, the project will not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste.The site is not located within 2 miles of Palm Springs International Airport.Therefore, the proposed project will not expose people on the project site to safety hazards beyond that of other properties in the area. g-h) No Impact. The proposed project would not involve any use that would interfere with the City's emergency operations plan or with major emergency evacuation routes out of the area. With regards to wildland fires, the City's General Plan indicates that fire danger is relatively low. The City of Palm Springs Fire Department has indicated that the project area is within the 5-minule response time and travel distance from the nearest fire station. Fire sprinklers are also required based on the size of buildings. The project site is not located near a wildland fire hazard area. In addition, any plans for development will be reviewed and approved by the Fire Department prior to issuance of building permits.

According to a hydrology report, prepared by John Sanborn A/E, Inc., for the project, the project site is presently bounded on the east, south, and west by Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2005 1.0-21 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Improved public streets and by the Tahquitz Creek Channel on,the north. Therefore, no offsile flows enter the project area. The site generally slopes in an easterly direction with minor sump areas centrally located. On-site flows do not concentrate to swales or channels but percolate in the sump areas or sheet flow to existing street gutters. No wells are proposed as part of this project. Proposed operations on the subject property will require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board as the site would be considered point- source for storm water runoff due to an increase in impervious surfaces. The NPDES permits regulates general construction activilies. Compliance with permit conditions will ensure that there will be no violation of water quality or waste discharge requirements. The entire project site has been identified in the City's General Plan as resort commercial. The project is for a mixed-used commercial/residential development ]hat is not anticipated to result in an abnormal draw on local water supplies. Water demands that will be generated by the proposed project were accounted for in the General Plan EIR. The project will not result in substantial groundwater depletion or interception of any aquifer by cuts or excavations, or substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability. No significant impacts are anticipated. e) Less than Significant. The drainage design for the project consists of several sump catch basins connected by pipelines to the main storm drain collector under Random Road. The basins have been conservatively sized to capture the peak flow generated by a 100 year storm. Poliions of the main collector that are not already in existence will be designed to conform to Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's (RCFCWCD) Master Drainage Plan for the Palm Springs area. Peak run-off flows for 10- year and 100-year one-hour storms were analyzed in the hydrology report prepared for the project and it was concluded that the project meets the hydrologic and hydraulic requirements set forth by RCFCWCD and the City. Therefore, the project will have a less than significant impact on the capacity of existing or planned siormwater drainage systems. g-j) No Impact. According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Panels 060257 0006 D, revised July 7, 1999 and 060257 0008 C, revised June 18, 1996, the subject property is designated as Zone B, and therefore lies outside the 100 year flood hazard area. Therefore, the project could not place structures within the 100 year flood hazard area or be exposed to tsunami,seiche, or mudflow.

The project site is surrounded by streets and the Tahquitz Creek Channel and therefore, will not physically divide an established community. The project has been designed to be sensitive to the adjacent residential neighborhood by locating the commercial uses close to South Palm Canyon Drive and the residential component towards the eastern portion of the project. In addition, the main entries into the project will be from South Palrn Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue. b) No Impact. The project site and subject parcel are located in the South Palrn Canyon Redevelopment Project Area, part of the Merged Redevelopment Project No. 1. The South Palm Canyon Redevelopment Project Area includes some of the following goals: ➢ Eliminate Physical, Social, and Environmental Deficiencies by the elimination of environmental deficiencies including small and irregular lots and deteriorated public improvements; ➢ Assemble and Consolidate Land suitable for modern, integrated development with improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation; ➢ Coordinate Future Development through the replanning, redesign, and redevelopment of undeveloped areas; Assure Commercial Vitality by strengthening of retail and other commercial functions in the area; and Y Stimulate Economic Development by strengthening the economic base of the Project Area and the community by the installation of needed site improvements to stimulate new commercial expansion, employment, and economic growth. The proposed project supports the goals identified above, and would not conflict with any other applicable land use plans of policies. c) No Impact. The project would not conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No impact would occur.

The City of Palm Springs interior noise standard is 45 dB CNEL. Roadway noise may intrude into the second story of the proposed units because they contain a high percentage of glazing in their living room/dining room/kitchen combinations. They may be affected by roadway noise from South Palm Canyon Drive, and, to a lesser extent, from Mesquite Avenue. Any structural noise mitigation to achieve the City's interior noise standard must be based upon future build-out traffic conditions. Build-out traffic was estimated by utilizing the most recent traffic counts, and "ramping" these counts up by the ratio of projected City build-out populations. The traffic projections were then converted to traffic noise using the FHWA federal highway traffic noise prediction model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The results of the analysis are as follows: TABLE 3 Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August?nas 1.0-25 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION TRArric NOISE LEVELS dB CNEL Build-Out at 50 feet Project Perimeter Classification of Volumes from Centerline Roadway Roadway (ADT) (dB) So. Palm Canyon Drive Major Arterial 41,799 74 Mesquite Avenue Secondary 17,423 70 The building facade nearest to South Palm Canyon Drive is located 60 feet from the centerline. The "noise loading" or noise exposure of this building facade is calculated to be 73 dB CNEL. Oiher proposed units are located at 50 feet from the Mesquite Avenue centerline. The calculated noise exposure at these residential structures will be 70 d8 CNEL. Noise reduction of-28 dB would be required to reduce the building fagade noise level of 73 dB CNEL along South Palm Canyon Drive to meet the City of Palm Springs 45 dB CNEL standard. A structural reduction of 25 dB will be needed along the Mesquite Avenue frontage. Typical noise attenuation with single-paned windows in modern frame and stucco construction is generally found to be about -20 dB. Enhanced structural features capable of achieving on additional -9 dB of noise reduction are needed for perimeter units facing South Palm Canyon,and-5 dB along Mesquite. The additional structural attenuation can be achieved through "upgraded" dual-paned Windows and other enhanced noise insulation. In most residential construction, the structural noise level reduction (in dB) is almost equal to the rated sound transmission class (STC) of any open-able window. However, because the building facade contains an unusual amount of glazing, more upgraded windows will be necessary than for typical construction, particularly along South Palm Canyon. The interior noise in units proposed to font South Palrn Canyon Drive and Mesquite Drive was calculated using the computerized Interior Noise Analysis model (INA, Version 3.2). The fixed glazing along South Palm Canyon was assumed to be upgraded insulated glass with a sound transmission class (STC) of 33. Similarly, the sliders were assumed to be dual- paned with upgraded seals, and with a similar STC rating of 33. Conventional fixed Windows and a single-paned slider were assumed for the Mesquite frontage. When window and/or door closure is a necessary condition to meet the interior standard, the building code requires a provision of supplemental ventilation. The requirement can be met with a fresh air inlet duct on the return air plenum on the furnace fan. The recommended ventilation rate is 15 CFM fresh make-up air per person for an assumed two-person household as per Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. During grading and construction activities, it is expected that adjacent residents may be exposed to noise levels in excess of standards established in the City's noises ordinance,. However, the increase in noise levels will be temporary in nature and will only occur during the City's allowable construction hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. With the Incorporation of mitigation measures during Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August2005 1.0-26 OIL 0"3 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION construction activities and the placemenj of proposed mechanical equipment, the impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level. The following mitigation measures will assure that project impacts are less than significant. Mitigation Measures 1. 'To attenuate noise at the upstairs bedreorns to 45 dB CNEL or less within the residential interiors along the South Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue frontages, use of upgraded windows with the following respective STC ratings are required on upstairs bedrooms that have a view of the roadway: Roadway Type Window/Door STC Rating South Palm Fixed Glazing 33 Canyon Sliding Glass Doors 33 Mesquite Fixed Glazing 30 Avenue Sliding Glass Doors ?_7 2. Supplemental ventilation is required for units along South Palm Drive and Mesquite Avenue capable of providing 30 CFM of fresh make-up air. The make-up air duct air intake should be on the side of the house away from the perimeter street. Any duct openings facing the adjacent streets should have a 90-degree elbow and have absorbent duct lining on the last five (5) feet from the opening. 3. During construction phases, the contractor shall ensure that all construclion is performed in accordance with the applicable City of Palm Springs noise standards. This measure shall be added to the construction contract. 4. All internal combustion powered equipment shall be equipped with properly operating mufflers and kept properly tuned to alleviate backfires. This measure shall be added to the construction contract. 5. During construction aciivities, the contractor shall locate portable equipment as for as possible from the adjacent residences. This measure shall be added to the construction contract. 6. To the extent feasible, the contractor shall store and maintain equipment as far as possible from the adjacent residences. This measure shall be added to the construction contract. 7. The placement of all mechanical equipment associated with the proposed project such as HVAC systems shall be located and constructed to ensure compliance with Chapter 11.74 (Noise Ordinance) of the Palm Springs Municipal Code Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2005 1.0-27 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDYWITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION b) No Impact.. Proposed development on the project site would not be expected to result in exposure of persons to or generation of groundborne vibration or noise levels. No sources of groundborne noise, such as pile driving, are proposed as part of the project. cJ Less than Significant. The project is for a mixed-use commercial/residential project that is expected to generate noise typical of such land uses. The project site is currently vacant, and therefore, any new development on the property will result in an increase of the arnbient noise levels in the project vicinity. The City of Palm springs' noise ordinance regulates construction hours, leaf blowers, and acceptable noise levels in residential and commercial areas based on time of day. Therefore, development on the site will have a less than significant impact on ambient noise levels in the area. e-f) No Impact. The project site is not located in an airport land use plan or in the vicinity of any known private airstrips.Therefore, development on the project site would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels.

In November 2003, George Dunn Engineering finalized a traffic study for the proposed Huddle Springs Development, which was a similar mixed-use development previously proposed on the project site. That traffic study determined that the Huddle Springs Development would not have any significant capacity related intersection impacts, per the City's traffic study guidelines, but did make specific recommendations regarding local circulation and site access.The traffic study and project were subsequently approved by both the Palm Springs Planning Commission and the City Council. After the project was approved, the parcel of land of the northeast corner of the Palm Canyon Drive/Mesquite Avenue intersection was sold and a new mixed-use development plan was proposed. In the process of scoping the required traffic analysis for the newly proposed land use, George Dunn Engineering prepared a traffic forecast for the new land use and compared That to the traffic forecast for the previously proposed Huddle Springs project. That calculation showed that fhe'newly proposed project would be expected to generate significantly less trips than the previously proposed Huddle Springs project. As such, in consultation with City staff, it was determined that a new full traffic study was not required, but a supplemental analysis would be Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2005 1.0-32 MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION required to document the new project description, trip generation forecasts and to assess the relevance of the applicability of the recommendations made by the traffic study for the Huddle Springs Development. This updated traffic analysis is attached as Appendix A. Previously Proposed Huddle Springs Development The previously proposed Huddle Springs Development would have resulted in the construction of a mixed-use development including an B4OOOSF signature restaurant, a 25,759 square foot/retail use, a building for which no use had been determined, 18 two-story living units, 40 2-bedroom condominiums and 8 three-bedroom condominiums. Project access would have been provided by driveways located on both South Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue.The driveway on Palm Canyon Drive was is be directly across from the main entrance to the proposed Star Canyon Development on the west side of Palm Canyon Drive and was to be signalized. Newly Proposed Mixed-Use Development The newly proposed project will construct 106 residential units and 15,000 square feet of commercial area. Proposed project access on Palm Canyon Drive is to be provided by a full access driveway on the north side of the project site (at the location of the previously proposed main Huddle Springs Development driveway) and a second driveway to provide righl-turn in and righl-turn out movements to the south. A secondary full access project driveway will be provided on Mesquite Avenue at approximately the same location as the Mesquite Avenue driveway proposed by the Huddle Springs Development. Emergency vehicle access will be provided by a driveway on Random Road. Bollards will be placed in this driveway so that this driveway will not be used for general site access. TRIP GENERATION FORECASTS George Dunn Engineering prepared a trip generation forecast for the new project using the same Institute of Transportation Engineer's methodology used in the original analysis. The trip generation calculations for the newly proposed development were then compared to the trip generation calculation for the Huddle Springs project. The results of the calculations and comparison are provided in Table 4.

Since the newly proposed project will have similar project access locations as the formerly proposed project and would be expected to have the some trip distribution patterns, the newly proposed project would also have no significant intersection capacity impacts. Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis The supplemental traffic analysis performed for the proposed project also considered whether or not the proposed project's traffic contributions would be sufficient to meet Caltrans traffic signal warrants. In order to perform the warrant analysis, if is first necessary to forecast project driveway volumes for the newly proposed project. The new project trip generation forecast was used with the same trip distribution used in the original analysis. Figure 3 of Appendix A shows the trip distribution at the project driveways. Figure 4 of Appendix A shows the midday and PM forecast project trips at the project driveways. Figure 5 of Appendix A shows the forecast "no project" project driveways for the Year 2006 and Year 2020 midday and PM peak hours. Figure 6 of Appendix A shows the forecast "with project" project driveways for the Year 2006 and Year 2020 midday and PM peak hours. The forecast "with project" peak hour volumes were entered into the TRAFFIX computer model For the project's main full access driveway on Palm Canyon Drive. It was assumed that the driveway would be controlled by a stop sign. Level-of-service and traffic signal warrant calculations were performed.The results of those calculations are provided in Table 6. Peak Hour Study Scenado Delay-LOS Traffic Signal Peak Hour Traffic Signal Peak Hour Delay Warrant Me]? Volume Warrant Met? Year 2006 Midday 27.0 sec:D No No Year 2006 PM 18.3 sect No No Year 2020 Midday 44.9 sec.-E No No Year 2020 PM 25.9 sec.D No No The table shows that the proposed full access project driveway on Palm Canyon Drive will operale at generally acceptable levels of service for stop-sign controlled intersections. Left turns may be difficult during peak fravel periods. However, motorists leaving the project site could utilize the signalized Palm Canyon Drive/Mesquite Avenue intersection to make westbound left- turns onto Film Canyon Drive, if desired. The project-generated driveway volumes are not sufficient to meet peak hour delay or volume traffic signal warrants. The following mitigation measures will ensure that potential impacts from project-generated traffic will be reduced to less Phan significant levels. Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August2005 1.0-36 s MESQUITE VILLAGE IINITIAL STUDYIMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Mitigation Measures 1. The design of the proposed parking lot layouts and site driveways shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Traffic Engineer during the development review process, to insure compliance with City access and design standards. 2. The developer shall work with the City to develop a mechanism to participate in the installation of a future traffic signal, should the Star Canyon project be constructed or other area development occur outside that presently foreseen take place and a traffic signal at this location be deemed necessary. 3. If required by the City, the project proponent shall participate in the construction of a raised median along Palm Canyon Drive adjacent to the site. 4.Stop signs shall be provided to control traffic on the project driveway approaches to Mesquite Avenue and Palm Canyon Drive. 5.The project proponent will coordinate with Suni-ne Transit Agency regarding the need for on- site public transit facilities. 6. The project proponent shall contribute traffic impact mitigation fees, by participating in the TUMF program. 7. The project proponent shall participate in the neighborhood traffic-calming measure to include an entrance statement or feature at the intersection of Mesquite Avenue and Random Road with final design details to be approved in consultation with the neighborhood and the City Engineer. c-e) No impact. The project will not result in any changes to air traffic patterns or result in inadequate emergency access. The preliminary plans have been reviewed by the Palm Springs Fire Department for compliance with emergency access requirements. The project is accessed by two main entries located on South Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue. f) No Impact. The project proposes to provide parking consistent with the ratios established in Section 93.06.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance. The residential portion of the proposed project includes 241 parking spaces, 212 of which will be covered. The commercial portion of the proposed project includes 69 parking spaces, all of which are uncovered. g) No Impact. The mixed-use concept of the project is consistent with General Plan Policies 3.22.1., 3.22.5., 5.17.7., and 5.21.1. that encourage the type of project that is being proposed in order to provide a diversity of services to residents and visitors and provide adequate buffers and transitions from commercial to residential land uses while encouraging pedestrian or alternative traffic.

All utilities and services are currently provided to the subject site. Due to the nature and size of this project, there should be no impacts to utilities and service systems as a result of the project. b) Less than Significant. The Desert Water Agency (DWA) currently owns, operates, and maintains water distribution and pumping facilities within the project area. Project proponents will be required to connect to existing DWA water infrastructure to provide water to the site for construction and domestic water service. The developer will be required to comply with all rules, regulations, and other requirements of the DWA in order to provide water service to the site. Water service requirements may include, but are not limited to, upgrades, modifications, replacement, and abandonment of existing DWA facilities. 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 City requirements and will not cause any significant effects upon the environment. Mesquite Village,Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration August. 1.0-38 r e. MESQUITE VILLAGE/INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION c) Less than Significant. The project may require construction of drainage improvements to convey storm water flows to area drainage facilities. The hydrology report prepared for the project determined that the increased storm water runoff due to development of the site would not exceed the capacity of offsite drainage systems. Additional runoff generated by increases in impervious surface will be conveyed to the storm drain systern with any averages conveyed on the surface within the street right-of-way limits. Since the project is not expected to significantly alter drainage patterns in the area, area expansion of new storm water drainage facilities would not be required as part of the project.

The proposed project would not degrade the quality of the environment; result in an adverse impact on fish, wildlife, or plant species including special status species, or prehistoric or historic cultural resources because project components do not include any construction or development on areas that are not identified as sensitive. Prehistoric or historic cultural resources would not be adversely affected because no archeological or historic resources are known to exist in the project areas. The project is proposed to occur on a previously graded and developed site, and does not propose any construction, development or grading activities in which cultural or historic resources would be anticipated to be discovered. Further, project implementation includes compliance with appropriate procedures for avoiding or preserving artifacts or human remains if they are discovered. b) No Impact. The project would be consistent with the City's General Plan and would not create any significant impacts. All project impacts would be reduced by adhering to basic regulatory requirements and/or conditions of approval, as well as mitigation measures identified in this environmental docurnent. c) No impact. The proposed project would not have any direct or indirect adverse impacts on humans. Therefore, the proposed project would not have any direct or indirect adverse impacts on humans.

Date: March 29,2005 Re: Supplemental Traffic Analysis for a Proposed Mixed-Use Development on a Site for the Previously Proposed Huddle Springs Development P4021 INTRODUCTION In November 2003, George Dunn Engineering finalized a traffic study for the proposed Huddle Springs Development, which was located at the northeast corner of the Palm Canyon DriveiMesquite Avenue intersection. That traffic study determined that the IIuddle Springs Development would not have any significant capacity related intersection impacts, per the City's traffic study guidelines, but did make specific recommendations regarding local circulation and site access. The traffic study and project were subsequently approved by both the Palm Springs Planning Commission and the City Council. After the project was approved, the parcel of land at the northeast corner of the Pahn Canyon DriveiMesquite Avenue intersection was sold and a new mixed-use development plan was proposed. Figure I shows the project site. In the process of scoping the required traffic analysis for the newly proposed land use, George Dunn Engineering prepared a traffic forecast for the new land use and compared that to the traffic forecast for the previously proposed Huddle Springs project. That calculation is provided later in this memorandum and showed that the newly proposed project would be expected to generate significantly lass trips than the previously proposed Huddle Springs project. As such, in consultation with City staff it was determined that a new full traffic study was not required but a supplemental analysis would be required to document the new project description, trip generation forecasts and to assess the relevance of the applicability of the recommendations made by the traffic study for the Huddle Springs Development. This memorandum serves as the required supplemental traffic analysis for the project site located at the northeast corner of the Palm Canyon Drive/Mesquite Avenue intersection.

PALM CANYON DRIVE/MAIN ACCESS DRIVEWAY LEVEL-OF-SERVICE AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS As part of the supplemental traffic analysis, the City has requested that a traffic signal warrant analysis be performed at the project's Palm Canyon Drive main entrance to see if the project's alone (without the Star Canyon Project) would be sufficient to meet Caltrans traffic signal warrants. In order to perform the warrant analysis, it is first necessary to forecast project driveway volumes for the newly proposed project.

The new project trip generation forecast was used with the same trip distribution used in the original analysis. Figure 3 shows the trip distribution at the project driveways. Figure 4 shows the midday and PM forecast project trips at the project driveways, Figure 5 shows the forecast"no project"project driveways for the Year 2006 and Year 2020 midday and PM peals hours. Figure 6 shows the forecast"with project" project driveways for the Year 2006 and Year 2020 midday and PM peak hours. The forecast "with project" peak hour volumes were entered into the TRAFFIX computer model for the project's main full access driveway on Palm Canyon Drive. It was assumed that the driveway would be controlled by a stop sign. Level-of-service and traffic signal warrant calculations were performed. The results of those calculations are provided in Table 3. Table 3—Palm Canyon Drive Full Access Driveway"With Project"Level-of- Service and Traffic Signal Warrant Anal sis Summar Peak Hour Study Delay-LOS Traffic Signal Traffic Signal Scenario Peak Hour Delay Peak Hour Volume Warrant Met?

Left- turns may be difficult during peals travel periods. However, motorists leaving the project site could utilize the signalized Palm Canyon Drive/Mesquite Avenue intersection to make westbound left-turns onto Palm Canyon Drive, if desired. The project-generated driveway volumes are not sufficient to meet peak hour delay or volume traffic signal warrants. Attachment A contains the TRAFFIX output that summarizes the calculations. Mesquite Avenue Roadway Geometry/Traffic Calming The previous traffic study included the following recommendation, which was intended as part of an overall strategy to provide traffic calming: South Palm Canyon. Drive shall be improved to City design standards, with half-widths constructed adjacent to the project site, as required by the City of Palm Springs. South Palm Canyon Drive is designated a Major Thoroughfare. It is recommended that Mesquite Avenue be reclassified from a Secondary Thoroughfare to a Collector Road adjacent to the project site and that the north, side of the roadway be widened to provide for an 11-foot westbound shared through/left-turn, lane and, an exclusive 13-foot wide tight-turn lane. The length of the right-turn lane shall be at least 225 to accommodate forecast queuing demand. The final design should be reviewed and approved by the City.
