areas, consisting of designated SFHA's identified by Zone AO (Depth 1), Zone
AO (Depth 2), Zone AO (Depth 3), and Zone A, as shown on the current Federal
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Palm Springs, California, Riverside
County, Community Panel Number 060257 0008C, dated June 18, 1996. The
applicant shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
regulations associated with development occurring within a SFHA.
38. In accordance with 44 CFR 60.3(b)(3), the applicant is required to include in its
proposal a determination of the Base Flood Elevations (BFE's) of the Special
Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA's) in which the development is located. The
determination of BFE's shall be provided to the City Engineer prior to submittal of
a grading plan, a final map, or other element of the applicant's "proposal' to
construct a subdivision of 50 or more lots, or on a parcel of 5 acres or more in
size, located in a SFHA.
39. In accordance with Chapter 93.17.18(C) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the
Tentative Tract Map shall be revised to identify the Special Flood Hazard Area(s)
(SFHA's) and the elevations of the base flood (BFE's). The final conformed copy
of the approved Tentative Tract Map shall include the required information,
including delineation of SFHA's and identification of associated BFE's.
40. In accordance with Chapter 93.17.10 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, a Flood
Hazard Report shall be submitted by the applicant before construction or other
development begins within any Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The Flood
Resolution No. 22263
Page 15
Hazard Report may include, but not be limited to: plans in duplicate drawn to
scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevation of the area in
question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage
facilities; and the location of the foregoing. The Flood Hazard Report shall be
subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, Specifically, the following
information is required:
a. Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level of the lowest floor (including
basement) of all proposed residential structures (in Zone AO, elevation of
highest adjacent grade and proposed elevation of lowest floor of all
structures); or
b. Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any nonresidential
structures will be floodproofed, if required in Chapter 93.17.18(A)(3)(b) of the
Palm Springs Zoning Code; and
c. All appropriate certifications listed in Chapter 93.17.12(A) of the Palm Springs
Zoning Code; and
d. Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated
as a result of proposed development.
41. All stormwater runoff passing through the site shall be accepted and conveyed
across the property in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer. For all
stormwater runoff falling on the site, on-site retention or other facilities
approved by the City Engineer shall be required to contain the increased
stormwater runoff generated by the development of the property.
Conveyance of increased stormwater runoff downstream is not acceptable,
unless it can be adequately demonstrated that downstream facilities (i.e.
the Canyon South Golf Course) have been improved in a manner to accept
increased stormwater runoff from this site, and that all appropriate water
quality issues have been addressed on-site to allow the conveyance of on-
site runoff to downstream properties. A Preliminary On-Site Hydrology Study
for Tentative Tract Map 30047, prepared by VA Consulting, Inc., dated June
2006, has been submitted to, but not approved by the City Engineer. The
Preliminary On-Site Hydrology Study shall be revised to address the ability for
downstream facilities (i.e. the Canyon South Golf Course) to accept increased
stormwater runoff, and what measures will be incorporated to demonstrate that
water quality will not be degraded by conveyance of on-site runoff to downstream
properties; or shall be amended to address the method and manner by which
increased stormwater runoff generated on-site will be mitigated.
42. A Final On-Site Hydrology Study for Tentative Tract Map 30047 shall be
prepared to include all appropriate hydraulic analysis for sizing of on-site
privately maintained retention basins, storm drain pipes, catch basins and other
on-site storm drain improvements, as may be necessary to mitigate increased
stormwater runoff generated on-site. The Final On-Site Hydrology Study shall be
subject to the review and approval by the City Engineer; and RCFC as may be
necessary, which may require redesign or changes to site configuration or layout
consistent with the findings of the final hydrology study. No more than 40-60% of
Resolution No. 22263

retention basins. On-site open space, in conjunction with dry wells and other
subsurface solutions should be considered as alternatives to using landscaped
parkways for on-site retention.
43. The applicant shall address the comments outlined in the letter from the
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC) dated
October 17, 2006. Coordination between the applicant and RCFC, and RCFC's
consultant contracted to prepare a Master Drainage Plan (MDP) for the South

preparation of the MDP, including the establishment of approved locations for
debris basins for the Arenas North Canyon and/or the Arenas South Canyon
drainage areas.

improvement plans of regional flood control improvements for this development,
including on-site storm drain improvements that may connect to regional flood
control improvements, are subject to the review and approval by RCFC. Submit
improvement plans prepared by a California registered Civil Engineer for the
regional flood control improvements as identified in the Final Off-Site Hydrology
Study approved by RCFC, to RCFC for review and approval. The regional flood
control improvement plans shall be approved by RCFC prior to approval of a
grading plan, approval of a final map, or any other City approval related to the
design and construction of this project as determined by the City Engineer.
