HomeMy WebLinkAbout5/19/2004 - STAFF REPORTS (14) Date: May 19, 2004 To: City Council From: Director of Planning &Zoning CASE 5.0889-PD-269-AN APPLICATION BY K.HOVNANIAN FORA MINOR REVISION TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND REVISED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 30058,FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF 46.2 ACRE PARCEL INTO A 176 LOT, 5,500 AND 7,700 SQUARE FOOT LOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL GATED COMMUNITY, LOCATED AT 3801 NORTH SUNRISE WAY, ZONE PD116A, SECTION 35. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Case No. 5.0889-PD- 269 for a revised Planned Development District and Tentative Tract Map (TTM 30058) for a minor revision tentative tract map for a 176 lot gated subdivision, with residential lot sizes ranging in size from 5,500 to 7,700 square feet, located at 3801 North Sunrise Way, northwest of the intersection of Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive, subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution. BACKGROUND: The revised projectwas approved bythe Planning Commission on March 24,2004.This project was previously approved by the Planning Commission on December 11, 2002 and by the City Council on December 19, 2002. K. Hovnanian has submitted a revised application for a Planned Development District to develop a private,single family residential communitywith common open space and recreation amenities. The sole revision to the project includes the addition of"Lot O". The map is being revised to create"Lot O"a fifty foot(50')by six hundred and fifty foot(650')lot for use by Desert Water to access a well site inside the project area. The creation of"Lot O" is a minor project refinement which does not change project conditions, has no impact on properties in the area, will not result in a significant environmental impact, and therefore, pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the preparation of an Revised Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is not required. The project was revised because Desert Water would not agree to use private streets to access their well sites, and therefore"Lot O"was created to provide Desert Water with the necessary access. The project incorporates unique design features, including the use of cluster residential development and smaller lot sizes, and enhanced common area amenities. The project proposes 176 single family residences.A Tentative Tract Map application has also been submitted to subdivide the 46.2 acre parcel into 176 residential lots. The map also includes lettered lots which will be used for common area improvements and amenities such as open space,a swimming pool,spa area with accompanying restrooms,pool building,project roadways, sidewalks, an on-site retention area, utility easements and well sites. 1AII The project has been combined with TM 30054, as part of the overall proposed K. Hovnanian Four Seasons project. This project is an active adult community that will eventually have approximately 500 residences.A third tentative tract map(TM 31525)and planned development district is in process. The project site is currently vacant.The site is generally level(1-2%slope)and contains sparse vegetation primarily consisting of scattered shrubs, palms and other trees. The project is located approximately 2,000 feet south of the Whitewater River Wash. The 176 lot projectfeatures minimum residential lots sizes of 5,500 and 7,700 square feet,with the largest lot 15,286 square feet,with most lots between 5,500 and 8,000 square feet in area. The minimum proposed lot widths are 50'and 70'. The minimum proposed lot depths are 110'. The applicant is proposing 5' front yard setbacks to house and side entry garages, 20' front setbacks to front entry garages, 5' side yard setbacks and 15' rear yard setbacks. The applicant's research indicates that there is a market for smaller lot sizes with common recreation and open space amenities. PROJECT DESIGN With the exception of"Lot O", the approved project will not be changed.As part of the Planned Unit Development, the applicant has submitted architectural plans. However, these plans are for illustrative purposes only, and depict potential relationships between a range of models on the various lot configurations proposed as part of this project. It is proposed thatfuture merchant builders will submit architectural plans at a later date. The proposed models feature 2 to 4 bedroom units, and demonstrate that units ranging in size from 1,650 square feet to 2,769 square feet in detached one and two-story structures,can fit on the proposed lots. All proposed single family residences will feature 2 parking spaces in a garage and an additional two spaces in front of the garage, in accordance with established parking standards. The applicant is requesting that a maximum of 25% of the units, or 44 of the 176, be allowed with a second story. The project is designed as a self contained development with a single point of entry on Sunrise Way, with limited secondary access, only in the event of emergencies, available through the mobile home park to the south and to San Rafael Drive. One recreation area is proposed as partof this project.This recreation area features a free-form resort style swimming pool, spa, sun deck, shade arbors and restroom building and drinking fountain. The recreation area also features pedestrian pathways and active and passive recreation areas. The recreation area will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association.

An Initial Study/Environmental Assessment(IS/EA) dated November 18, 2002 was prepared by staff for the Planned Development, related Architectural Application and Tentative Tract Map. In the IS/EA, staff found that the proposed project had the potential to have a significant environmental impact in certain areas,such as geology,storm water, noise,and air quality with respect to short term construction impacts, if mitigation measures were not incorporated into the project design. In the attached IS/EA, the above issues were analyzed in greater detail. In conclusion, with the proposed mitigation measures, staff feels that any environmental issues will be mitigated to a level of insignificance. The proposed mitigation measures are included in the conditions of approval. An Addendum to the Environmental Assessment/ Initial Study was prepared for the project. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, a lead agency may prepare an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration if minor technical changes or additions are necessary, but none of the changes meet the conditions outlined in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. The purpose of this Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration is to consider an application for a revised preliminary planned development district, and a revised tentative tract map. The creation of"lot O" is a minor project refinement which does not change project conditions, has no impact on properties in the area, will not result in a significant environmental impact. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the revision to the project is minor and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not required. k� 3 The Planning Commission concurred with the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, as the proper determination under CEQA, and with the appropriateness of the mitigation measures, and recommended that the City Council adopt the Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration. NOTIFICATION All property owners within a 400-foot radius of the parcel considered for subdivision were notified.A legal notice was published in the Desert Sun. The City has not received any written correspondence from area residents. DOUGLAS f�.

(See section 2.6 of State CEQA Guidelines. If more than one MYes [:]No ❑N/A project is present in the same area, cumulative impact should be considered). • If"yes" above, does the project fall into any of the Emergency Projects listed in Section 15269 of the State CEQA []Yes ENo ❑N/A Guidelines? • If"no" on II., does the project fall under any of the Ministerial Acts listed in Section 15268 (b) of the State CEQA []Yes ■No ❑N/A Guidelines? • If "no" on III., does the project fall under any of the Statutory []Yes ■No ❑N/A Exemptions listed in Article 18 of the State CEQA Guidelines? • If "no" on IV., does the project qualify for one of the Categorical Exemptions listed in Article 19 of the State CEQA Guidelines? (Where there is a reasonable probability that the ❑Yes ■No ❑N/A activity will have a significant effect due to special circumstances, a categorical exemption does not apply). Based on the information provided above, the proposed action is a project, and would not be exempt from CEQA. 1.2 PURPOSE/USE OF THE INITIAL STUDY The purpose of this Initial Study (IS) is to describe the proposed Palm Springs West Residential project and provide an evaluation of potential environmental effects associated with the project's construction and use. The IS has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.), and in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations §15000 et seq.). Pursuant to Section 15367 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City of Palm Springs is the lead agency for the project. The lead agency is the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project that may have a significant effect upon the environment. The City of Palm Springs, as the lead agency, shall have the authority for project approval and adoption of the accompanying environmental documentation. The City of Palm Springs is expected to use the information contained in this Initial Study during deliberations regarding implementation of the proposed project. /Ar4t R TrofectskBurnetNOOnI9 MND-112002 wpd 2 Introduction Palm Springs West Residential Project CITY OF PALM,SPRINGS The following actions will be considered with approval of the project. n Adoption of the Mitiaated Negative Declaration—Prior to approval of the project,the City shall consider the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) together with any comments received during the public review process. The City shall adopt the MND only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the MND reflects the City's independence judgment and analysis. • Planned Development Application—In orderto provide zoning which conforms to the revised design reflected on Tentative Tract Map 30058 (including minimum lot sizes of 5,500 square feet), a new planned development application is required.The proposed project requires approval of a PD District in lieu of a change of zone. The new PD District (PD-269)would replace the previous PD District on the site (PD-116A). • Approval of a Development and Disposition Agreement (DDA) - Prior to the approval of the project, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs shall consider the proposed DDA. The DDA has been prepared for the project to address the applicant's acquisition of the Redevelopment Agency parcel that is currently shown as part of the TTM. Actions included in the DDA include: acquisition of Parcel Q, acquisition of Parcel R, and acquisition of Vacant Park Parcel. • Tentative Tract Map — The project applicant is requesting the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 30058. Subsequent approvals by the City of Palm Springs may include: • Grading permits • Building permits RESPONSIBLEAND TRUSTEEAGENCIES Responsible Agencies consist of public agencies other than the Lead Agency that have responsibility for carrying out or approving the proposed project and for complying with CEQA. The proposed project would not require approval by a responsible agency other than the lead agency. However, this IS/MND will provide environmental information to trustee agencies (state agencies having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by a project that are held in trust for the people of the State of California)and responsible agencies and other public agencies that may be required to grant approvals in support of project implementation. The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) would be considered a trustee agency for purposes of this project. As discussed in Section 7 of the Environmental Evaluation, the project site is within the habitat area encompassed by the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Habitat Conservation Plan. The CDFG has jurisdiction over sensitive plant and wildlife species in the State of California. As noted in the Initial Study, the project does not require any permits from CDFG. Pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act [Section 402(g)] and state General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit, a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and approval of storm water pollution prevention plan will be required from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for grading and construction in areas greater than five A 411 RAPrDJ.dslBurneLLW007\IS MND-112002.wpd 3 Introduction Palm Springs West Residential Project - r acres. Pursuant to the NPDES permit requirements, a Notice of Intent must be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board. 1.3 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Based on the environmental checklist form prepared for the project and supporting environmental analysis(provided in Section 4),the proposed project would have no impactor less than significant impacts in the following environmental impact areas: land use and planning; population and housing; geology; transportation/circulation; biological resources; energy and mineral resources; public services; utilities and service systems; aesthetics; and, recreation. The proposed project has the potential to have significant impacts related to geology, water, air quality, noise (short-term construction-related impacts), and cultural resources, unless the recommended mitigation measures are incorporated into the project. According to the CEQA Guidelines, it is appropriate to prepare a mitigated negative declaration (MND) for the proposed project because, after incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts would be eliminated or reduced to a level considered less than significant. Therefore, the proposed project will not have a significant effect of the environment. 1.4 PROJECT REVIEW AND ACTION There will be a 20-day public review period for the IS and proposed MND. The review period has been established in accordance with§15073 of the CEQA guidelines. Notices of availability of the IS and MND for review and comment have been published in the newspaper and at the City of Palm Springs. Referenced documents are available for review at the City of Palm Springs. In reviewing the Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration, persons and public agencies should focus on the proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. If persons and public agencies believe that the project may have a significant effect, they should: (1) Identify the specific effect, (2) Explain why they believe the effect would occur, and (3) Explain why they believe the effect would be significant. Comments on the analysis contained herein may be sent to the following: Mr. Alex Meyerhoff Principal Planner City of Palm Springs Department of Planning and Building, Planning Division P.O. Box 2743 Palm Springs, CA 92263-2743 Following receipt and evaluation of comments from agencies,organizations,and/or individuals,the City of Palm Springs will determine whether any substantial new environmental issues have been raised. If no substantial new issues are raised or if new issues do not provide substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, the project and environmental documentation are scheduled to be submitted to the City's Planning Commission and City Council for adoption of the IS/MND.

The project site is bounded by the Coyote Run apartment complex and Santiago Sunrise Village mobile home park to the south, the Coyote Run apartment complex and Sunrise Way to the east, vacant land to the north, and single-family residential development and vacant land to the west. The regional location and local vicinity of the project site are depicted on Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. Vehicular access to the project site is provided via Sunrise Way. Regional access is provided by the Interstate 10 (I-10) freeway and State Highway 111. 2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project site presently consists of undeveloped open desert associated with the Chino Canyon Creek and the W hitewater River flood plain. Onsite elevations vary between approximately 540 and 560 feet above mean sea level (msl). Much of the ground surface within the site consists of a sand veneer with of a thin layer of sand covering compacted substrate. Sand hummocks and tear-drop shaped mounds of sand have accumulated on the downwind side of shrubs and areas of low-relief. The ground surface has been disturbed throughout by off-road vehicle use. Vegetation consists of creosote bush scrub throughout the site and an oleander windrow along the western perimeter. The following identifies the land uses surrounding the project site as well as the general plan land use designations of surrounding areas.

The open space lots are located throughout the project site (refer to Exhibit 3). The project also includes one lot (Lot 178) to be used by the Desert Water Agency for a well site and two lots containing private streets. The project proposed by the applicant involves the following primary components which are described below and evaluated in the attached Initial Study: • Approval of a Planned Development District (PD-269) in lieu of a change of zone • Approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 30058 • Approval of a Disposition and Development Agreement APPROVAL OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPLICATION The Palm Springs Zoning Code designates the site as PD-116A. As previously noted, the project site has a General Plan land use designation of CDL 8 (Density Controlled, 8 units per acre). In order to provide zoning which conforms to the Tentative Tract Map 30058, a planned development application is required. Per Section 94.03.00 of the City's zoning code,"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 practices while allowing certain desirable departures from the strict provisions of specific zone designations." With 176 single-family residential lots on 46.2 acres of land, Tract 30058 proposes a density of 3.8 units per acre. This is less than half the density allowed by the general plan. Proposed lots consist of 88 minimum 5,500 s.f. lots (50-feet wide by 110-deep) and 88 minimum 7,700 square foot lots (70-feet wide by110-feet deep). Proposed minimum setbacks include a5-foot front setback to side entry garage, a 20-foot front setback to front entry garage, a 15-foot front setback to residence, a 5-foot side setback and a 15-foot rear setback. The project also provides 3.9 acres of open space (includes 2.6 acres which are turfed detention basins), which represents 8.4 percent of the project site. APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT AND DISPOSITION AGREEMENT Prior to the approval of the project, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs shall consider the proposed Development and Disposition Agreement(DDA). A DDA is required by the City as the project requires the applicant to acquire property owned by the Redevelopment Agency. Specifically, the Redevelopment Agency owns approximately 43 acres of the project site (Parcels Q and R1, and Lot 2 of Tract 26943-1). RAP,.jectc\ecmenuooNs MND-i 12oa2.wpd 7 Project Description Palm Springs West Residential Project - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP The project proposed by the applicant includes Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 30058. The TTM identifies the location of the proposed individual lots and building pads,future elevations, proposed infrastructure, and typical street sections. 3.2 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT FEATURES The following discussion provides a description of the main components of the proposed project. The proposed development concept for the project is shown on Exhibit 3. RESIDENTIAL AND OPEN SPACE The proposed project includes approximately 33.8 acres of residential development, 1.2 acres of recreation/open space, a 0.6-acre well site, 2.6 acres with detention basins which also allow passive recreation uses, and 8.0 acres of private street. Table 1 provides a statistical summary of the proposed land uses, as well as development features. As shown on Table 1, the project would subdivide the project site into 176 single-family residential lots including 5,500-square foot minimum lots (88)lots and 7,700-square-foot minimum lots (88). The maximum lot size proposed is 15,286 square feet. It is estimated that approximately 75 percent of the homes would be single- story and 25 percent would be two-story. The actual mix will be determined during the final design stages of the project.

Additionally, four open space lots (A through D) and four basin lots (E through H) would provide passive recreation activities. w � CIRCULATION SYSTEM Vehicular Traffic As shown on Exhibit 3, access to the project site would be provided from a gated entry off of r Sunrise Way (at the northeast corner of the project site). Sufficient turnaround area would be provided to allow for visitors (including delivery-type vehicles) to turn around if they are unable to enter the site. Because Sunrise Way terminates immediately adjacent to the project site, movements into the site at this point would be limited to left turns into the project and right turns out. When the northerly connection of Sunrise Way is completed(not part of the project), right-turn egress into the site would also be provided. A secondary fire access road would be provided via the entryway into the Santiago Sunrise Village mobile home park, which is a public street, along the southern boundary of the project site. This entry would be permanently gated with a Knox Box for use by emergency vehicles only. The proposed project design incorporates one looped main roadway through the project site with a series of cul-de-sacs. The streets interior to the project site would be privately maintained and gated. The interior streets would be designed with traffic calming "chokers" (50 to 100 feet long) at the following locations: between A Street and C Street on B Street; and between D Street and I Street on B Street. The narrowed travel way of the choker would be constructed with a colored or decorative Portland cement concrete section. Traffic circles would be constructed at the intersection of A Street and E Street, and at the intersection of I and M Streets with J Street. Typical street sections are shown on Exhibit 4. Pedestrian Access/Bicycle Facilities Sidewalks and landscaped strips would be provided on both sides of the residential streets interior to the project. A 20-foot landscape easement would be provided along the west side of Sunrise Way, which would represent a continuation of the existing landscape concept for the Coyote Run Apartment complex to the south of the proposed entrance. A Class I off-street bikeway would be provided within this landscape area, as well as a meandering sidewalk. Pedestrian gates would be provided at the gated entry for the proposed development. INFRASTRUCTURE In addition to the circulation system discussed above, the proposed project includes the infrastructure needed for storm drainage, sewer, water, and utilities (electric, gas, phone, cable, etc.). Planned sewer, water, and stormdrain facilities are shown on Exhibit 3. Sewer—A portion of the project would gravity flow to a 10-inch sewer line in Blue Mountain Avenue and an existing 8-inch line stubbed to the southeast corner of the project site. The northern portion of the project site would gravity flow to a 10-inch sewer line in Sunrise Way at the north entry to the Coyote Run Apartment complex. The existing line in Sunrise Way would be extended to the north during completion of the roadway improvements. Water—Water for the proposed project would be provided from connections to an existing 30-inch water main in Sunrise Way (northeastern corner of the project site) and an eight-inch line in Blue Mountain Road (southern emergency entrance to the project site). / 1J%3d RAProjedsTurnellll00TI5 MND-112002 wptl 9 je escdption T Palm Springs West Residential Project Storm Drains—The proposed storm drain system has been designed to handle off-site and on-site storm flows. Stormwater from developed areas within the project site would surface flow to four onsite detention basins shown on Exhibit 3 (Lots E, F, G, and H). The depth of the flow-by basins would range from 2.5 to 8 feet, and would retain the excess flow produced from the site due to development. The basins would be designed to handle stormwater-from a 100-yearstorm.Stormwaterfrom offsite which currentlyflows across the surface of the site would be conveyed in a storm drain through the project site to the southeast corner of the site where it would outlet to the detention basin included in Lot E. The basin within Lot E would also convey flows from that portion of the site which is naturally flowing to the south/east (towards San Rafael Drive and Sunrise Avenue). The flow-by basins in Lots G and H, nearthe main entrywould retain flows toward Sunrise Way. The flow-by basin in Lot F would retain flows from the central northern portion of the site. Utility facilities proposed to serve the project would be provided by the utility service providers (Southern California Gas,Southern California Edison, and Verizon Telephone)in accordance with service application agreements to be obtained by the developer. Proposed utility facilities would be underground. LANDSCAPE CONCEPT/PERIMETER WALLS Landscape Concept The project entry would feature monuments, enhanced street paving, stamped colored concrete, a water feature, boulders, decorative iron gates, lights, walkways, palm groves, flowering trees, shrubs, vines, and ground covers, such as decomposed granite and/or decorative concrete. The Sunrise Way streetscape includes a 20-foot-wide landscape easement on the west side of the roadway with a ten-foot meandering sidewalk, turf areas, and colorful plant beds with flowering vines covering the perimeter walls. Trees would include Washingtonia palms and African sumac. The planned recreation area (Lot 177) would include clusters of Washingtonia palms and would be complimented by flowering accent trees and shade trees. Open space turf areas are located throughout the projectsite and would combine interconnecting walkways,desert landscape nodes, and park-like turf expanses with clustered tree groves, and passive seating areas. Walls and fences would be constructed by the builder to assure uniformity in design and materials. Front yard landscaping will be installed by the home-builder. Perimeter Walls The proposed project would be an enclosed,secured community with one primary gated entry from Sunrise Way, and a secondary gated emergency access to the south. A six-foot-high, decorative masonry wall would be constructed along the entire project perimeter. In addition to providing security, this perimeter wall would provide noise relief and blowsand attenuation along the project perimeter. In several areas of grade differentiation(see Exhibit 3),.a five-foot masonry screen wall would be located atop a three-foot retaining wall. The Homeowners Association would be responsible for maintaining the wall, including the exterior perimeter where sand and debris may accumulate.

It is anticipated that there would be two builders. The homes would be built in 10 phases over an approximate two-to three-year time frame: The project site is relatively flat; however, approximately 102,670 cubic yards of earth work would be required to implement the tract design and related infrastructure. A PM10 fugitive dust plan would be required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Cut and fill would be balanced onsite and there would be no need to import or export soil. Construction staging would occur onsite. 3.4 HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION A Homeowners Association (HOA)would be established for the project. It is anticipated that the following features of the project would be maintained by the HOA established under, and subject to, current state laws: private streets, common area landscaping, and the recreation area. The City Attorney and Director of Planning and Building will review the proposed HOA CC&Rs (covenants, codes, and restrictions)for adequacy and completeness. The CC&Rs will outline the responsibilities of the HOA. r d-3 RAPmjectskaumettWOMS MNo-112002.wpd 1 Project Description Palm Springs West Residential Project SECTION 4 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION This section includes the City of Palm Springs environmental checklist with explanations for the respective checklist responses. 1. LAND USE AND PLANNING Potentially Significant Potentially unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general plan designation or El 0 O zoning?(Sources 1 and 2) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? (Sources 1 and 2) The proposed project would have a density of 3.8 dwelling units per acre and would be consistent with the current General Plan land use designation for the site (CDL-8)which allows three to eight dwelling units per acre. The proposed project would not require a general plan amendment. The proposed project would require approval of a new Planned Development (PD) District 239 in lieu of a change of zone. As stated in Section 3.1, approval of PD District 239 replacing the existing PD District 116A is required for the project to provide zoning which conforms to the proposed TTM. The proposed minimum lot sizes, and setbacks proposed with TTM 30058 are also identified in Section 3.1. TTM 30058 includes two lot types: 5,500 square foot (sf) minimum and .7,700 sf minimum. The maximum lot size for the 5,500 sf lots is 15,286 sf, and it is 14,225 sf for the 7,700 sf lots. The average lot size for the TTM is 9,143 sf. The proposed residential project would not conflict with the existing zoning for the site. Environmental plans or policies relevant to the proposed project include those outlined in the City of Palm Springs General Plan Land Use Element. While other planning documents or policies may also be relevant to the proposed project, the goals, objectives, and policies of the City of Palm Springs are the primary guidance for the development and use of the project site. This discussion focuses on land use. Palm Springs General Plan policies and objectives applicable to other elements are discussed in their respective sections. Goals in the Palm Springs General Plan Land Use Element focus on creating a physical environment which provides for the housing, employment, business, service, recreational, social, cultural, educational and entertainment needs of the City's residents and visitors while preserving the City's unique assets and status as a major tourist destination and business, economic and cultural center in the Coachella Valley. Policies developed in accordance with these goals pertaining to the proposed project include the following: • Policy 3.1.3 limits development, in terms of total numbers of dwelling units and ancillary uses,to the capacity of the infrastructure needed to support the City's residents and visitors safely at a maximum capacity. The proposed project would not result in an exceedance of current capacity of the City's existing infrastructure. This issue is addressed in greater detail under Item 12, Utilities and Service Systems. R1Pmlems�BurneuWooncheckusi-i 12oo2.Wpd 12 Environmental Palm S rin s West Residential Project • Policy 3.1.7 directs that projects respect the Integrity of the district or neighborhood in which they are planned. The proposed project, a low-density residential development, would be consistent with and complementary to surrounding recreational, and low-medium density residential land uses. • Policies 3.5.1, 3.5.2, and 3.5.4 direct the manner in which low-density residential uses shall be developed. The proposed project is consistent with restrictions on number of units per lot, building heights, and developed/open space ratios. With implementation of the proposed zone change, the proposed project would not include any uses, or other components which would be inconsistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the respective elements of the City's general plan. Approximately 65.5 percent(30.3 acres)of the project acreage would be "open space" (area not covered by streets or architecture), consistent with Policy 3.5, which requires 65 percent open space. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Would the proposal: Im act Incorporated Imnacf ImPacf c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity?

(Source 1) e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community (including a low-income or ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ minority community)?(Source 3) Land uses surrounding the project site include vacant and undeveloped land to the north, vacant land to the east (with single-family residential development proposed), a multi-family residential apartment complex(Coyote Run)to the south, and the Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park and single-family housing to the south and southwest. The mobile home park is owned by the City Redevelopment Agency. The project involves the construction of 176 single-family residential units on land that is currently vacantlundeveloped. The proposed projectwould represent a continuation of residential uses in the project area and would be compatible with existing development. The project would extend residential development to the north of existing development and would not disrupt or divide an established community. There are no agricultural operations within or in proximity to the project site. Additionally, there is no designated farmland in the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, no significant land use impacts would result from implementation of the project. MITIGATION PROGRAM The proposed project would not cause significant land use impacts; therefore, no mitigation is required.

POPULATION AND HOUSING Significant Impact Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incomorated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local El population projections?(Source 4) The California Department of Finance (2000) projects 2.218 persons per household for single- family dwelling units within the City of Palm Springs. Assuming this population generation factor, the proposed 176-unit project would generate approximately 390 new residents. As previously indicated the proposed project does not involve a general plan amendment. Therefore, the population generated by the project is already assumed in the population growth estimates for both the City of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley region. It is estimated that the population in the City of Palm Springs would increase by 8,708 people between 2000 and 2010, and the population in the Coachella Valley would increase by 112,360 people. The population generated by the project would represent approximately four percent of the population increase in the City and 0.3 percent of the projected population increase in the region between 2000 and 2010. Increases of these relatively small amounts are not considered to be a significant impact.

The project proposes development of 176 single-family residential units on a currently vacant and undeveloped site. However, the increase in housing units and associated population growth have been assumed in growth projections for both the City of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley region as indicated in Tables 2 and 3 since residential development is assumed within the current land use designation for the site. It is estimated that the number of housing units in the City of Palm Springs would increase by 6,433 between 2000 and 2010, and the number of units in the Coachella Valley would increase by 57,187. The units implemented by the proposed project would represent 2.7 percent of the projected housing increase in the City and 0.3 percent of the projected housing increase in the region between 2000 and 2010, which would not be considered a significant impact.

The development of the project would not impose significant new burdens on adjacent land uses or induce substantial new unforeseeable development in the area. There are existing utilities serving the project site. The project would not involve the construction of any new public infrastructure facilities which could induce additional growth in the area. Development of the site is not considered to be growth- inducing. The project site is currently undeveloped;therefore,development of the proposed project would not displace existing housing, MITIGATION PROGRAM No significant impacts relative to population, employment and housing would result from the project; therefore, no mitigation is required. 3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture?(Sources 1 and 5) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ b) Seismic ground shaking? (Source 1) ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Sources 1 and 5) The project site is not located within an established Alquist-Priolo Study Zone (regions of known active and potentially active earthquake faults). The potential for ground rupture from fault movement within the site boundaries is considered to be negligible as there are no major active or potentially active faults known to transect the project site. There are a number of known active faults in the region, resulting in the potential for seismic ground shaking to occur at the site. A regional fault map is provided in Exhibit 5. Active faults include the Coachella Valley segment of the San Andreas Fault Zone (locally known as the Mission Creek Fault located approximately ten miles north of the project site), the Banning Fault Zone (approximately five miles northeast of the project site), the San Gorgonio Pass Fault Zone (approximately six miles northwest of the project site), and the San Jacinto Fault (major branch of the San Andreas Fault Zone located approximately 15 miles west of the project site). As identified above, the Banning Branch of the San Andreas Fault system is the closest active fault to the project site. The relatively close proximity of this fault (approximately five miles distant) ,-3 JUM7 R:1Protects\BurnettW00TChecklisl-112002 wpd 15 EAVrAmMffa1EvJ7uation Palm Spnngs West Residential Project places the region in an area of high seismic activity, exposing the subject site to potentially severe ground shaking hazards. Ground acceleration at the site would be influenced by distance from the fault, magnitude of seismic events, and soil composition. Given the distance from the fault, the maximum probable seismic event would generate a maximum'peak ground acceleration of 0.62g (g is the acceleration of gravity, equal to 32 feet per second). However, the effects of a seismic event would be attenuated by the deep deposits of alluvium beneath the project site, resulting in maximum ground accelerations of 0.47g. Additionally, there are inactive fault zones in the region. The Garnet Hill fault is inferred to approach within one mile of the site to the northeast and concealed traces of the Palm Canyon ; Fault traverse the base of the San Jacinto Mountains approximately three miles to the west of the subject property. The proposed onsite structures are required to be designed in accordance with Uniform Building Code (UBC) standards, and other local, state, and federal agency requirements. With proper design, impacts associated with seismic groundshaking would be considered less than significant. Soils occurring on the project site consist of those associated with the Carsitas Series, which consists of coarse gravelly or cobbly granitic alluvium. This series belongs to the Carsitas-Myoma- Carrizo Association, described by the Soil Conservation Service as level to moderately steep, somewhat excessively drained sands, fine sands, gravelly sands, cobbly sands, and stony sands on alluvial fans and valley fill. On-site conditions (i.e., groundwater depth in excess of 100 feet) present a negligible potential for liquefaction. However, due to the presence of loose soils beneath the site, seismic induced settlement may be possible if strong ground shaking occurs. The potential effects of seismic induced settlement would be mitigated by proper design and construction grading techniques. Potentially Significant Potentially unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: d) Seiche,tsunami, or volcanic hazard?(Source 1) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ e) Landslides or mudflows? (Sources 1 and 5) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ Tsunamis are seismically induced sea waves generated by offshore earthquake, submarine landslide, or volcanic activity, Due to the distance from the ocean, the proposed project is not subject to tsunami hazards. Seiches are another type of water-related seismically induced hazard involving flooding resulting from the overtopping of an inland water body's banks by seismically induced waves. There are no major lakes or open water impoundments in the vicinity of the project site or in the City of Palm Springs. Therefore, the site is not subject to Seiche hazards. Furthermore, there are no known landslides on the project site and the low relief of the site makes the potential for landslide negligible. No impacts are anticipated.

(Sources 1 and 6) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ h) Expansive soils?(Sources 1 and 6) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ 1. Since the project site is nearly flat, significant changes in topography would not result from implementation of the proposed project. Grading activities necessary to implement the project have the potential to cause short-term erosion during construction. However, because the project site is currently undeveloped,the potential forerosion during construction would not be significantly greater than current conditions. Grading activities would adhere to applicable City codes and ordinances pertaining to earthwork and soil stabilization. As mentioned above, soils occurring on the project site consist of those associated with the Carsitas Series,which consist of coarse gravelly or cobbly granitic, somewhat excessively drained alluvium. Fine to coarse grained alluvial sands are expected to be the most prominent soil type throughout the site. Expansive soils are materials (typically fine grained alluvium) that when subjected to a constant load, are prone to expand when exposed to water. On-site soils have been determined to have very low expansive potential. The potential for subsidence of onsite soils will be addressed during final design, as part of the required geotechnical studies. As outlined in the mitigation program below, the recommendations of the geotechnical report will be included in the grading plans. With implementation of proper design and grading techniques as outlined in the final geotechnical report, potential soil-related impacts would be less than significant.

The Palm Springs Subarea has a storage capacity of 4.6 million acre-feet. Replenishment of the groundwater within the Coachella Valley Basin occurs through natural and artificial means. Stream flow originating in the adjacent San Bernardino and San Gorgonio Mountains enters the valley and percolates into the Whitewater River, providing the largest source of natural groundwater recharge in the Palm Springs Subarea and the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin as a whole. Additionally, water imported by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) via the Colorado River aqueduct is used as an artificial source of groundwater replenishment by percolation of flows in the Whitewater River wash. Replenishment through precipitation on the valleyfloor is considered negligible as annual precipitation averages five inches per year in contrast to the evaporation rate which averages 75 inches per year. The project site is currently vacant. In the existing condition, stormwater flows originating on the project site either percolate into the ground, evaporate from the soil,or are conveyed via sheet flow in a southeasterly direction to surrounding lower elevation areas. Flows leaving the site are conveyed along impervious surface streets (e.g., Sunrise Way)furtherto the southeast where they enter the Whitewater River wash via a storm drain. With implementation of the proposed residential project, the site would be developed with streets, structures, sidewalks, etc. reducing the amount of natural area and increasing the amount of impervious surface. The increase in impervious surface would result in a change in absorption,and runoff rates onsite. However, the proposed project would not substantially change the direction of the site drainage or quantities of off-site flows and on-site percolation. As identifi d in the project II ar R.IPrejectsOurnetN007�Checklist-112002.wpd 18 14PlFWn1rroqwO1Evaluation Palm Springs West Residential Project description (Section 3), the runoff from the project site and off-site areas would drain to basins in the southeast and northeast portions of the site. The project site would be divided into three drainage areas (A, B and C). Drainage area A(generally the southern and northwestern portions T of the project site)would contain approximately 39.9 acres and produce a 100-year storm runoff of 54.3 cubic feet per second (cfs). Drainage area B (northern central portion of the project site) would contain approximately 14.2 acres and produce a 100-year storm of 34.0 cfs. The offsite water shed which would be accommodated by a storm drain through the site at the easterly boundary is approximately 119.6 cfs. Flows produced from this offsite area and Drainage area A would confluence at the southeast corner of the project site and have a flow rate of 156.8 cfs (with the time of concentration factor included). The existing flow rate is 157.7 cfs. The offsite water shed which would'be accommodated by surface flow and a stormdrain at the northerly boundary of the site is approximately 42.7 cfs. Flows produced from this offsite area and Drainage area B would confluence at Lot F and have a flow rate of 60.6 CFS (with the time of concentration factor included). To ensure that there is no increase in flow rate from the site with development of the proposed project, the project includes flow-by detention basins to retain the excess flow produced from the site due to development. The storm drain system, including the detention basins is described in Section 3. Storm water retained in the basins would percolate into and/or evaporate from onsite soils. The post-development flow-rate for off-site area and Drainage area Awith the proposed flow- by basins would be 157.7 cfs, the same as existing conditions. Drainage area C generally includes the northeastern portion of the project site north and south of M Street. The drainage area encompasses 7.8 acres and produces a 100-year storm runoff of 19.4 cfs. An additional flow of 60.6 cfs is produced from off-site Drainage area B. Therefore, the total flow tributary to the intersection of Sunrise Way and M Street is 80 cfs (60.6 cfs plus 19.4 cfs). The existing flow rate is 54.3 cfs. The flow-by basins in Lots F and G at the main entry of the project site would retain the excess flow produced from the site due to development. With the proposed basins, the flow rate within drainage area C in the post-development condition would be 54.3 cfs, the same as existing conditions. With implementation of the mitigation program identified below, impacts to absorption rates, drainage patterns, or rate and amount of surface runoff would be considered less than significant. There is a negligible contribution of valley floor precipitation to groundwater recharge in the vicinity of the project site, flows originating on the project site would be retained in retention basins, and flows leaving the project site would be conveyed to the Whitewater River. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act Would the proposal result in: b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding? (Source 9) The project site is approximately 0.5 mile southwest of the Whitewater River Channel. An earthen levee has been constructed along the channel to protect surrounding areas from flooding. The project site is located within the B-500 Year Zone and Zone C(Minimal Flooding)of the Whitewater River flood plain as designated on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Designated Zone B include approximately ten percent of the site and areas include the following: areas that are located between the limits of the 100-year flood and 500-year flood; certain areas subject to 100-year flooding with average depths less than one foot or where R:1ProleclslBumel6J007\Checklist-112002.wpd 19 Palm Springs West Residential Project the contributing drainage area is less than one-square mile;or,areas protected by levees from the base flood. The project site is protected from the base flood by the levee constructed on the western side of the Whitewater River channel. The majority of the site (90 percent) is in Zone C, where it is designated as minimal flooding. The Riverside Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RFCWCD) has identified two flood control facilities included within the District's Master Drainage Plan(MDP)which would be required to provide flood protection to the project are. Based upon conversations between the District, City Engineering staff, the project applicant and the applicant's engineer, and as identified above, it is understood that the site lies within Flood Zones B and C as determined by the FIRM map. Flood Zone B. With this designation there is a potential for a 100-year flood to occur and impact a small portion of the site. However, the project applicant's engineers have addressed the offsite flows directed at the site and determined that the Site will not be adversely affected by these flows. It is also understood that the drainage fees collected by the City apply to the overall cost of these Capital improvements. According to the District, the Laterals 3A and 3B, and Line 3 are currently not in this fiscal year's budget report to be completed within the next five years. Once these drainage improvements have been installed by the District, 100-year flood protection would be provided to the entire project site.

Runoff from the project site during construction could transport soils and sediments from these activities. Spills or leaks from heavy equipment and machinery, staging areas, or building sites could also enter runoff. Typical pollutants could include petroleum products and heavy metals from equipment and products such as paints, solvents, and cleaning agents that could contain hazardous constituents. Potentially significant short-term water quality impacts could result if polluted runoff enters downstream receiving waters. The Federal Clean Water Act establishes a framework for regulating potential water quality impacts from construction activities through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Construction activities that involve more than five acres are required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the Regional Water Quality Control Board obtain coverage under the General NPDES Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The Regional Water Quality Control Boards oversee the implementation and enforcement of the general permits. Potential erosion, siltation and other water quality impacts during construction of the proposed project would be managed through the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This plan would be a joint effort of the developer, agencies, and contractor. The plan would describe the measures or practices to control pollutants during both the construction and post-construction phases of the project. An SWPPP typically contains a list of target structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs), which would be used to control, prevent, n'tPfelectslBurnettV0071Checklist-112002 wpd 20 E I!0 1 lu Palm Springs West Residential Project remove or reduce pollution. BMPs that are most often used during construction include sand bags, temporary desilting basins, and the timing of grading to avoid the rainy season (November through April). The SWPPP would contain BMPs that address the following areas during construction, as defined by the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook: control internal erosion,good housekeeping practices,contain waste,minimize disturbed areas,stabilize disturbed areas, and control perimeter of site. In addition to the requirements of the NPDES program, provisions of the Uniform Building Code, and grading permit requirements include elements that also require reduction of erosion and sedimentation impacts. Full compliance with applicable local, state, and federal water quality standards by the applicant would reduce impacts to a less than mi significant level. LONG-TERM STORM WATER RUNOFF IMPACTS As identified in Section 3, the proposed project includes onsite retention basins for drainage that would retain the majority of urban runoff from the project site. Any pollutants in the urban runoff from the site would be captured as the water percolates and would not enter the municipal storm drain system. It should be noted that stormwater runoff from the southern portion of the"M"Street (refer to Exhibit 3)would flow from the site to Sunrise Way, entering the City's storm drain system. The stormwater runoff from the site may contain urban pollutants; however, the amount of runoff flowing to Sunrise Way from the site would be considered de minimus.The proposed project would not result in significant long-term water quality impacts.

Furthermore, with project implementation, flows originating on the project site would be allowed to percolate into onsite detention basins or flow into the Whitewater River via a stormdrain off Sunrise Way. Construction activities for the proposed project would not include any cuts or excavations which would effect existing groundwater resources, Therefore, the direction and rate of flow of groundwater would not be impacted and there would be no alteration of the groundwater quality. The proposed project would not involve a substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater usage.

MITIGATION PROGRAM Proiect Design Features PDF 4-1 The proposed project involves the implementation of a combination of both a street (possibly 8-inch curb) and piping stormwater drainage system that would convey the runoff from offsite and onsite areas to onsite retention basins. The retention basins would ensure that the flow rate from the project site would not increase beyond existing conditions. The conceptual storm drain plan for the project is presented on Exhibit 3. The ultimate size and location of stormwater facilities shall be verified by the City Engineer during final design and will meet current design standards. Standard Conditions and Requirements SC 4-1 Prior to issuance of precise grading or building permits, whichever comes first, the applicant shall submit and obtain approval from the City Engineer of a Water Quality Management Plan(WQMP)specifically identifying Best Management Practices(BMPs) that will be used onsite to control predictable pollutant runoff.

AIR QUALITY Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation? ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ (Source 10) b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (Source NA) ❑ ■ ❑ El AIR QUALITY SETTING California is divided by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) into air basins which share similar meteorological and topographical features. The City of Palm Springs is in the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB), which includes eastern Riverside and Imperial Counties. The SSAB's climate and topography, high winds- and fine sandy soils, are conducive to the formation of high concentrations of airborne particulate matter. The Riverside portion of the SSAB is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Palm Springs is in the Coachella Valley Source Receptor Area (SRA 30). The pollutants for which the eastern Riverside portion of the SSAB is designated a non-attainment area for national ambient standards are ozone (03), and fine particulate matter (PM70). 03 is a colorless, odorless pollutant formed by a chemical reaction between volatile organic compounds(VOCs)and oxides of nitrogen (NOJ in the presence of sunlight. The primary sources of VOCs and NOx are mobile, including cars, trucks, buses, agricultural and construction equipment. PM10 consists of fugitive dust caused by soil disturbances such as construction grading and causes a greater health risk than larger-sized particles, since these fine particles can be inhaled more easily and irritate the lungs by themselves and in combination with gases. Between 1999 and 2001 the Coachella Valley exceeded the federal annual average PMj, national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), and is currently classified as "serious" non-attainment for PM10 in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act. Because the Coachella Valley was unable to demonstrate attainment of the NAAQS through the 2001 attainment year, SCAQMD prepared the 2002 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan (CVSIP). The CVSIP includes control program enhancements that meet the Most Stringent Measure(MSM)requirements and a request R'1ProleclslBurneR4J0071Checkllsf-112002.wpd 23 a V o Palm Spdngs West Residential Project ' for extension of the PM,, attainment date: Jurisdictions within the Coachella Valley are required to adhere to the requirements outlined in the CVSIP, including preparation of a fugitive dust control plan prior to issuance of grading permits. r1 A project's air quality impacts can be separated into short-term impacts from construction and long-term permanent impacts from project operations. The potential short-term and long-term impacts of the proposed project are discussed below. To determine whether emissions resulting from construction of a project are significant, the South Coast Air Quality Management District recommends significance thresholds in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The city has determined that these thresholds are appropriate for the project in order to assure regional consistency and based on the best available scientific information. The pollutants addressed by the SCAQMD thresholds include carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxides (SO.), nitrogen oxides (NO,), particulate matter(PM10), and reactive organic compounds. Based on the size of the project (approximately 42 acres) there is a potential for PM,, emissions thresholds to be exceeded by the proposed project,without mitigation. The SCAQMD has established a threshold of 150 pounds per day, and 6.75 tons per quarter for PM,, emissions. CONSTRUCTION-RELATED AIR QUALITY IMPACTS Air quality impacts of a project may occur during construction on both a regional and local scale. Construction impacts can include airborne dust from grading, demolition, and dirt hauling, and gaseous emissions from heavy equipment,deliveryand dirt hauling trucks,employee vehicles,and paints and coatings. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook estimates that each acre of disturbed soil creates 26.4 pounds/day of PM10. Although no mass grading of the site would be permitted, for purposes of this air quality analysis, it is assumed that the entire site could be graded in five to seven days. This amount of grading would result in PM10 emissions of 174.2 to 243.9 pounds per day, prior to mitigation. These emission levels would exceed the SCAQMD's threshold for PM10, and would be considered a significant impact. However, implementation of the mitigation program identified below would reduce potential daily emissions from active grading operations by 60 percent, reducing this impact to a level considered less than significant. There would be no cumulative impacts as fugitive dust emissions from areas previously graded would be eliminated by ensuring that these areas are watered as often as necessary each day in order to maintain a crust and prevent any dust from being released to the atmosphere. It should be noted that the initial site grading would occur over a longer time frame than five to seven days (approximately 15 days). Therefore, the peak day emissions would be reduced. As noted previously, with implementation of the mitigation program identified below, short-term construction-related air quality impacts would not be considered significant. LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL EMISSIONS The primarysource of operational emissions associated with the proposed residential projectwould be vehicle travel to and from the project site. A comparatively negligible amount of gaseous emissions would occur from natural gas and electricity usage. It is possible that the emissions generated by the project could exceed the operational thresholds established by SCAG. However, the project is consistent with the growth forecasts for the region, as discussed previously under Population and Housing. Therefore, the project is within the growth forecasts assumed for the Regional Transportation Plan and the most recent version of the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). SCAG has determined that if a project is within the regional growth projections, regional emissions are offset by the AQMP and no mitigation is required. The project would not have a R:1ProjeolslBurnettW00TCheeklisl-112002.wpd 24 Environmental Evaluation - . Palm Springs West Residential Project significant long-term air quality impact from operations and would not conflict with implementation of the AQMP. Periodic high winds in the project vicinity and associated windblown sand could also result in potential long term air quality impacts to future residents of the proposed project. Accordingly, a six-foot masonry block screen wall will be constructed along the entire project perimeter. Additionally, the screen wall shall be constructed atop a three-foot retaining wall in areas of grade differential (refer to Project Design Feature 5-1 below) and a Blowsand Mitigation Plan (refer to Standard Condition 5-1 below) prepared to mitigate the potential long term impact.

(Source NA) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ The proposed project would not affect wind direction, air temperature or other atmospheric processes on a local or regional scale. The relatively small size of the project in the regional context, combined with its residential uses, would not alter air movement or temperature on any scale. While there would be some odors, such as from cooking and gardening associated with residential uses,these are not considered significant on a regional scale. Local odor impacts would be no different that in any other residential area within the city. MITIGATION PROGRAM Project Design Features PDF 5-1 The proposed project includes the construction of a masonry block screen wall. The wall would extend along the entire perimeter of the site. The final specifications for the screen wall and blow sand attenuation measures shall be approved by the Director of Planning and Building prior to issuance of a building permit.

(Source NA) The potential traffic impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project were evaluated by Willdan Inc. (August, 2001). The proposed project would result in increased residential traffic on Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive, the two main access routes to the project site. Based on direction from the City's traffic engineer, the traffic analysis focuses on potential impacts to the intersection of Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive. EXISTING CONDITIONS Sunrise Way is a north-south four-lane arterial which terminates at the entrance of the project site. At its southern terminus, Sunrise Way transitions into La Verne Way south of Palm Canyon Drive. Sunrise Way intersects with San Rafael Drive to the southeast of the project site at a four-way stop. San Rafael Drive is a four-lane east-west arterial which transitions into Golden Sands Drive to the east of the four-way stop intersection with Sunrise Way. San Rafael Drive transitions to Tramway Road to the west of the project site intersecting State Highway 111/Palm Canyon Drive approximately 1.8 miles from the project site. Traffic counts were conducted at the intersection of Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive to determine the existing level of service (LOS). LOS is described as a value, which is associated with vehicle delaytimes(in seconds),where"A"is considered a free-flow condition(i.e.,an average delay of less than ten seconds per vehicle) and "F" is beyond capacity (i.e., an average delay of more than 80 seconds per vehicle). It is generally recognized that LOS A through D represent acceptable intersection operations, while LOS E and F indicate a situation which is beyond capacity. As outlined in the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, it is the City's policy to provide and maintain LOS D for the City's circulation network. The existing operating condition of the intersection of Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive was determined to be LOS A (4.1 second average delay) in the a.m. peak hour, and LOS B (6.7 seconds delay) in the p.m. peak hour. /M R:\ProjectslBurneftWO0TCheckhst-112002.wpd 27 Environmental Evaluation Palm Swings West Residential Project - PROJECT TRIP GENERATION/IMPACTS T Trip generation rates for single family residential land use were taken from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication Trip Generation, 6t6 Edition, (9.57 daily trips per single-family dwelling unit; 0.75 trips in the a.m peak hour and 1.01 trips in the p.m. peak hour). The traffic report assumed a residential project with 163 units based on a preliminary tract map for the proposed project. Although the proposed project includes 13 additional units (total of 176 units), the conclusions of the traffic report as outlined below would not change. Based on the ITE trip generation rates, a 163-unit project would generate a total of 1,560 daily trip ends of which 120 (30 in and 90 out)would occur during the a.m. peak hour and 165 (105 in and 60 out) would occur during the p.m. peak hour. The proposed 176-unit project would generate 1,684 daily trip ends of which 132 would occur during the a.m. peak hour and 177 would occur during the p.m. peak hour. The traffic volumes were added to existing trip volumes plus ambient growth volumes to evaluate the impact of the project on the intersection of Sunrise Way and San Rafael Drive. An ambient growth rate of two percent per year was used. It should be noted that the traffic analysis also included projected traffic from the Palm Springs East Project proposed by the project applicant.The analysis found that the intersection when unsignalized would operate at LOS B (6.2 seconds delay) in the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C (14.2 seconds delay) in the p.m. peak hour. Assuming a traffic signal at San Rafael Drive/Sunrise Way (signal to be installed as part of the Palm Springs East project proposed on the east side of Sunrise Way), the intersection would operate at LOS C in the a.m. peak hour (22.0 seconds delay) and p.m. peak hour (21.9 seconds delay). Therefore,the proposed project would not result in unacceptable levels of service or significant traffic impacts. Payment of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees is required prior to the issuance of building permits to affect the project contribution to cumulative traffic. No additional mitigation is required. The proposed project would not result in safety hazards from design features or incompatible uses. A signal will be installed at Sunrise Way/San Rafael as mitigation for the Palm Springs-East project proposed by the project applicant.

Palm Springs West Residential Project Sufficient parking would be provided for individual residential units and the recreation center consistent with City requirements. According to the Palm Springs Municipal Code, single-family residential development requires a minimum of two parking spaces per unit in a garage or carport (carports must have 70 percent shade). Project design incorporates two-car garages per residence with additional parking available on streets throughout the project. The proposed project would not result in hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists. Seven- foot parkways with five-foot sidewalks would be provided on all project streets and a ten-foot-wide meandering sidewalk within a 2p-foot-wide landscape easement would be provided on the west side of Sunrise Way. The proposed project would also include a 10-foot wide meandering Class I bikeway within this landscape easement. The proposed project would not conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. Public transportation is provided by the SunLine Transit Agency which runs the Sun Bus throughout the Cities of Palm Springs,Thousand Palms, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella. The closest bus stop is stop number 724 located approximately 0.35 mile to the south of the project site at the intersection of San Rafael Drive and Sunrise Way. Stop number 724 is served by bus line number 23 which makes three southbound stops per day. The closest northbound stop is number 721 located at the intersection of Sunrise Way and Rochelle Road approximately 0.75 mile south of the project site. Stop number 721 is also served by line number 23 which makes two northbound stops per day. No rail or waterborne transportation operates in the project vicinity. The Palm Springs Regional Airport is located approximately 1.8 miles to the south of the project site. Residential development on the project site would not affect operations at the airport.

BonTerra conducted focused presence/absence surveys for the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard in May R:1Projects\Bumet6l00ACheckllst-112002 wpd 29 V al 1 . Palm Springs West Residential Project 2001. Focused surveys for sensitive plants species were conducted on April 16, and May 15, 2001. The results of these surveys are outlined in the letter reports included in Appendix A and are summarized below. EXISTING VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE Creosote bush scrub (also called Sonoran creosote bush scrub)covers the majority of the project site. This vegetation type has been disturbed by off-road vehicle activity. Creosote bush scrub is characterized by sparse creosote bush (Larrea tridentata), with other plants growing at a lower density. Other plant species identified on the project site include honeysweet (Tidestromia oblongifolia),white bursage(Ambrosia dumosa), desert dicoria(Dicoria canescens), cheesebrush (Hymenochlea salsola), Spanish needles (Palafoxia arida), narrowleaf cryptantha (Cryptantha angustifolia), plicate tiquilia (Tiquilia plicata), wild turnip (Brassica tourneforth), California indigo-bush (Psorothamnus arborescens), emory indigo-bush (Psorothamnus emoryi), red-stemmed filaree (Erodium cicutarium), Pierson's evening primrose (Camissonia claviformis), oleander(Oleandersp.),and Mediterranean schismus(Schismus barbatus). Much of the substrate within this plant community is described as a sand veneer consisting of a thin layer of sand covering a hard surface, where relatively low-lying vegetation acts to impound and shield shallow sand deposits. Sand hummocks (tear-drop shaped mounds of sand) have accumulated on the downwind side of shrubs and areas of low-relief. Onsite vegetation types provide potential habitat for a number of wildlife species described below. Common bird species associated with open creosote bush scrub observed or expected to occur on the site include turkey vulture (Cathattes aura), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus), Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna), black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), Say's phoebe (Sayornis saya), loggerhead shrike (Lanus ludovicianus), horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), phainopepla (Phainopepla nitens), great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), common raven (Corvus corax),western meadowlark(Sturnella neglecta), red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoenecius), brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), house finch (Carpodocus mexicanus), and house sparrow(Passer domesticus). Raptor(bird of prey)species such as the red-tailed hawk(Buteo jamaicensis), prairie falcon(Falco mexicanus),American kestrel (Falco sparverius), western screech owl (Otus kennicotth), great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), and barn owl (Tyco albs) are also expected to forage across the site. Common mammal species associated with open creosote bush scrub observed or expected to occur on the project site include black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus), desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonil), desert kit fox (Vulpes macrotis), coyote (Canis latrans), pocket mouse (Perognathus sp.or Chaetodipus sp.),white-tailed antelope squirrel(Ammospermophilus leucurus), Mojave ground squirrel (Spermophilus mojavensis), kangaroo rat (Dipodomys sp.), and Botta's pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae). Common reptile species associated with open creosote bush scrub observed or expected to occur on the project site include the coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum), Mojave shovel-nosed snake (Chionactis occipitalis occipitalis), sidewinder(Crotalus cerastes), zebra-tailed lizard (Callisaurus draconoides), desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), western brush lizard (Urosaurus graciosus graciosus),long-nosed leopard lizard(Gambelia wislizenil),glossy snake(Arizona alegans),gopher snake (Pituophis melanoleucus), California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula), and western long-nosed snake (Rhinocheilus lecontel). R\Projects\0urneRW00nCheckhst-112002.wpd 30 Environmental Evaluation Palm Springs West Residential Protect SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES The project site has the potential to provide habitat for"special status" species. Plants or wildlife may be considered to have "special status" due to declining populations, vulnerability to habitat change,or restricted distributions. Certain special status species have been listed as Threatened or Endangered under state and/or federal Endangered Species Acts. The Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) also provides that a project may have a significant effect if it reduces the number or restricts the range of an endangered, rare or threatened species. Section 15380 of the CEQA Guidelines defines the terms Rare and Endangered for the purposes of CEQA. For the purposes of this discussion, CNPS List I species meet the criteria in the definition of Rare or Endangered and have been addressed accordingly. Special status plants and wildlife occurring in the region and potentially occurring onsite, together with their listing status, were identified during a records search of the following: California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California (CNPS 2000); a compendia of,special status species published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS 2001); the California Department of Fish and.Game's (CDFG) Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB); and, the City of Palm Springs General Plan. Special status plant and wildlife species that potentially occur on the project site are discussed below. Special Status Plant Species The project site has the potential to support plant species listed as special status by the USFWS, CDFG, CNPS, and Palm Springs General Plan. Several special status plants known to occur in the region have been excluded from the following discussion based on absence of suitable habitat (e.g., rocky slopes and canyon walls for triple-ribbed milk-vetch) or on results of focused surveys conducted in April and May 2001 when special status species were in flower and readily identifiable. Special status plants occurring in the region and potentially occurring onsite,together with their listing status, include-the following: Coachella Valley Milk-vetch Coachella Valley milk-vetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae) is a CNPS List 1 B and a federally Endangered species. It is an annual herb found in creosote bush scrub that occurs in the vicinity of the project site. This plant was not encountered during the focused plant surveys in April and May 2001. Flat-seeded Spurge Flat-seeded spurge(Chamaesyce platysperma)is a CNPS List 1 B and federal Species of Concern. It is an annual herb found in creosote bush scrub that occurs within the vicinity of the project site. Although this species is not listed as Threatened or Endangered by the state or federal resource agencies, it is listed as a 1 B species by the CNPS. This plant was not observed on the project site during the focused surveys conducted in April and May 2001. Glandular Ditaxis Glandular ditaxis (Ditaxis clariana) is a CNPS List 2 species. It is a perennial herb found in the creosote bush scrub vegetation type that occurs within the vicinity of the project site. Although this species is not listed as Threatened or Endangered by the state or federal resource agencies, it is listed as a List 2 species considered by the CNPS to be "rare, threatened or endangered in California but more common elsewhere". For the purposes of this discussion, CNPS List 2 species R lProledslBurnett000TChecklist-112002.wpd 31 MomwerelE Palm Springs West Residential Protect meet the criteria in the definition of Rare or Endangered and have been addressed accordingly. This plant was not observed during the focused plant surveys conducted in April and May 2001. Special Status Wildlife Species The project site has the potential to support wildlife species listed as special status by the USFWS, CDFG, and Palm Springs General Plan. Special status wildlife occurring in the region and potentially occurring onsite, together with listing status, includes the following: Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard(Uma inornata)(CVFTL)is a federally Threatened and state Endangered species restricted to sand dunes in the Coachella Valley, and requires habitat with fine, loose,windblown sand (called blow sand), and widely spaced desert shrubs. Suitable habitat can include loose sand dunes, sand hummocks, and the edges of washes where sand has accumulated. Critical habitat was designated for the CVFTL at the time of federal listing and is defined as specific areas within the geographical range occupied by the CVFTL that possess the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species and that may require special management protection. The northern and western boundaries of designated critical habitat extend beyond the limits of the CVFTL's distribution to include the sand source which is essential for maintaining down-wind blow sand deposits. The project site lies within the habitat area encompassed by the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Habitat Conservation Plan (CVFTL HCP). The CVFTL HCP was developed to afford protection to the CVFTL; while also allowing development to continue within the range of the species. Activities occurring within the CVFTL HCP areas that impact habitat, whether occupied by the lizard or not, are required to pay a per-acre fee as mitigation for potential impacts to this species under the federal and state Endangered Species Acts (ESAs). Focused surveys for the CVFTL were conducted on the project site on May 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, and 25, 2001 by a qualified biologist and in accordance with CDFG guidelines (Appendix A). The following common reptile 'species were found to be abundant on the project site or are expected to occur: coachwhip, Mojave shovel-nosed snake, sidewinder, zebra-tailed lizard, desert iguana, western brush lizard,long-nosed leopard lizard,glossysnake,gopher snake, California kingsnake, and western long-nosed snake. No CVFTL individuals or clearly identifiable tracks were observed. However,the project site is located within the CVFTL HCP boundaries and development of the site would require payment of the $600 per-acre fee. Flat-tailed Horned Lizard The flat-tailed horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallil) is a state Species of Special Concern. The USFWS published a rule proposing Threatened status for the flat-tailed horned lizard in 1993 but withdrew the proposed rule to list in 1997 based on information available at that time. On December 26,2001, under court order, the USFWS reinstated the proposed listing of this species as Threatened and reopened the public comment period for 120 days with a final listing decision expected by December 26, 2002. The flat-tailed horned lizard primarily occupies areas of fine windblown sand and extremely barren country within the creosote bush scrub vegetation type where vegetation is sparse or lacking. However, this species has also been recorded in a broad range of habitats in California, including sandy flats and hills, badlands, slat flats, and gravelly soils. This lizard is not expected to occur on the project site given the coarse-grained substrate and relatively high vegetation density present R:1Projects\RumettWO07Checkllsl-112002 w d 32 t V Palm Springs West Residential Project on the project site and its known distribution in the region. In addition, no flat-tailed horned lizards nor evidence of their presence were observed during focused CVFTL surveys. PROJECTIMPACTS ' The project site would be completely cleared, graded, and developed with project implementation. Grading and development of the site would result in the removal of existing native vegetation onsite consisting of creosote bush scrub. Removal of native vegetation would result in removal of habitat for common wildlife species listed above. Sensitive plant or wildlife species known to occur in the _ vicinity of the project site including the Coachella Valley milk-vetch, flat-seeded spurge, glandular ditaxis, Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard, and flat-tailed horned lizard, were not encountered during focused surveys and no impacts to these species are anticipated with project implementation. The project is expected to impact potential suitable habitat for the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), Le Conte's thrasher (Toxostoma lecontel), and Palm Springs round-tailed ground squirrel (Spermophilus teriticaudus chlorus). These species are listed as species of concern by the resource agencies and are not state or federally-listed as Threatened/Endangered. Because of the relatively large range of these species in relation to the area impacted by the proposed project, the loss of potential habitat for these species is not considered significant. Therefore, because no special status plants or wildlife were observed on the project site during focused surveys, no significant impacts to special status species are anticipated. However, because the site is within the critical habitat area encompassed by the CVFTL HCP, the City of Palm Springs requires payment of the $600/acre mitigation fee.

Creosote bush scrub vegetation (also called Sonoran creosote bush scrub) covers the majority of the project site. This vegetation type is not designated in the Palm Springs General Plan as an "important biological resource". Furthermore, the project is not located on an "important biological site" as designated by the Palm Springs General Plan. The project site is located within one mile of Important Biological Site#30 designated by the General Plan as a Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard Preserve; however, the project would not result in impacts to Site#30. No marsh, riparian, or vernal pool habitat exists on the project site. Furthermore, because the project site is bounded by urban development to the east, south, and southwest, and open space to the north and northwest, the proposed project would not impact wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. The proposed project would not have a significant impact on any special status species; therefore, consultation with CDFG would not be required. Additionally, no permits would be required from the CDFG. lq� V6 RAProjeas\aurnenuooncneckost-1izooz.wrd 33 nvironm ntal Evaluation Palm Springs West Residential Project - MITIGATION PROGRAM Project Design Features The project does not include any design features related to biological resources. Standard Conditions Based on focused surveys conducted on the project site, no Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizards were observed onsite. The City of Palm Springs is requiring payment of mitigation fees as outlined in the HCP. The following condition applies to the project. SC 7-1 Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project applicant shall pay mitigation fees for the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard in the amount of$600.00 per acre. The payment shall be made and shall be verified by the City Planning Director prior to the issuance of a grading permit. Mitigation Measures The proposed project would not result in significant impacts to biological resources and no mitigation is required. 8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal create: a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation plans? (Source NA) The project would generate an increased demand for electricity, natural gas, and gasoline. As identified in the City of Palm Springs General Plan, the project site has been planned for development with low-density residential uses; therefore, the project does not propose additional energy consumption beyond that already assumed in the general plan and City energy conservation plans. The proposed project would be designed and implemented to meet local, state, and federal standards for energy efficiency. No significant impacts relative to energy conservation would result from project implementation. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal create: b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and N inefficient manner? (Source NA) Construction of the proposed residential development would require the use of natural resources including energy,water supplies, and construction materials. However, the rate of the use of these materials would not be substantially increased. In addition, construction of the proposed project would not substantially deplete any non-renewable resources, and these resources would not be used in a wasteful or inefficient manner. R:\Projects\Burnett1J007\Checklisf-112002,wpd 34 EVa tion Palm Sprigs West Residential Project Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal create: c) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral - resource that would be of a future value to the region ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ and the residents of the State? (Source NA) The California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG) is the state agency with the responsibility to oversee the management of mineral resources in California. The project site is located within _ . a Mineral Resources Zone (MRZ) as designated by the City of Palm Springs general plan and the CDMG and would result in the loss of availability of mineral resources. The entire project site is located in an MRZ-2 zone consisting of areas where adequate information indicates that significant _ mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood of their presence exists. Significant mineral deposits known to be present in the Palm Springs area consist of sand and gravel for aggregate and/or decorative stone materials. Aggregate material is a low unit-value,high bulk-weight commodity in which transportation cost is the principal constraint defining the market area. Therefore, aggregate is not considered a mineral resource of statewide importance. The City of Palm Springs contains approximately 11,000 acres of land designated for conservation in the MRZ-2 zone. The proposed project would impact approximately 42 acres located along the southeastern perimeter of the MRZ-2 area encompassed by the City of Palm Springs. Given the large area encompassed by the MRZ-2 in relation to the area impacted by the project (less than one percent of the MRZ-2 zone encompassed by the City), the fact that the project is an extension of existing development and will not encroach substantially into the MRZ-2 zone, and the fact that the General Plan designates the site as a residential land use, the loss of availability of mineral resources on the project site would not be considered significant. MITIGATION PROGRAM No significant impacts to energy or mineral resources would result from the project; therefore, no mitigation is required. 9. HAZARDS Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Be a risk of accidental explosion or release substances (including, but not limited to: oil, ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)?(Source 16) b) Create possible interference with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ (Source 1) c) Create any health hazard or potential health - ❑ ❑ ❑ hazard?

(Source 1) RAProjects\B urnatlW00Mheckhst-112002.wpd 35 vironmen al Evalua Palm Springs West Residential Project The following is based upon a review of the general plan and an environmental site assessment of the project site conducted by Earth Systems Southwest in November 2001, The conclusions presented in the site assessment were reached after a site reconnaissance, site history investigation (e.g., review of aerial photographs, topographic maps, Munger oil maps, and personnel interviews), and a regulatory agency record review. Several piles of debris of a non-hazardous nature (e.g., dilapidated furniture, construction materials, and other non-hazardous solid wastes) were encountered in the south and west boundaries of the project site. Additionally,five small areas of motor-oil stained soil are located in the southern portion of the project site adjacent to the existing Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park. These sources of onsite contamination would not pose a risk of accidental explosion or release of substances which could create a potential health hazard. The project would not involve the construction of residences adjacent to wildlands or areas of high fire hazard, due to the sparse vegetation on the project site. The project is within an area considered a low fire risk (in the vicinity of developed areas; minimal vegetation cover; level to gentle slope; and, available access). The project would not increase the risk of fire hazard and no mitigation is required. 10. NOISE Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? (Sources 2 N El and 11) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? (Sources 2 and 11) NOISE CRITERIA Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is a description of the noise levels that occur over a 24-hour period. CNEL is the sound level, in decibels (dB) usually measured with an A-weighting scale and denoted as dBA, that corresponds to the average energy content of sounds (or noise) measured over a 24-hour period. Certain periods within the 24-hour cycle are weighted to account for the sensitivities of humans to noise events in the evening hours: a 5 dB weighting is assigned for the period of 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and a 10 dB weighting is assigned for noises that occur during the period 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The City of Palm Springs noise ordinance requires that noise levels in the exterior areas of single-family residences not exceed 50 CNEL from the hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., 45 CNEL from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and 40 CNEL from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The ordinance also requires that interior noise levels for single-family residences not exceed 40 CNEL from the hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and 35 CNEL from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Where the ambient noise level is higher than the measured noise condition, the ambient becomes the relevant standard. Note that the construction noise is exempt from these requirements, as discussed below. R.IProlectslBurnetN00ACheckbst-712002.wpd 36 Environmental Kalm Palm Springs West Residential Project NOISE IMPACTS Short-term Construction Noise Short-term construction-related noise would be generated by site grading, excavation, and associated construction activities. The level of noise generated by construction activities is based - r upon the type of equipment, the number of each type of equipment, the time of day the equipment is used, and the percentage of the day each activity occurs. Noise generated by construction equipment and construction activities can reach high levels, ranging from 68 to 105 dBA depending on the type of equipment being used. Pile driving noise levels are the highest noise levels associated with construction. However, this project will not employ pile driving. Grading activities generally have the next highest levels of noise associated with them. At 50 feet, grading activities commonly have average noise levels(e.g., Leq noise levels)of 85 dBA with maximum noise levels as high as 95 dBA. General construction is considered to be quieter than grading operations. The same peak noise levels are often reached during general construction as during grading, but the average noise levels are 5 to 10 dBA less. There are residential uses to the south, east and west of the project site, and these uses are considered sensitive noise receptors. These sensitive receptors could potentially experience noise levels during project construction that would exceed the City's noise standards,depending on their distance from the operating equipment. The closest existing residences are located to the west approximately 30 feet from the proposed grading limits. These residences are currently blocked from the project site by an existing six-foot-high masonry block wall which would reduce construction-related noise levels. Nevertheless, noise levels during construction could exceed 85 to 95 dBA, which would be considered a significant impact prior to mitigation. The most effective method of controlling construction noise is through local control of construction hours. The City of Palm Springs Noise Ordinance does not allow construction activities between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, 5 p.m. and 8 a.m.on Saturdays, or at any time on Sunday or a Federal holiday, and exempts construction activities occurring at other times from the noise ordinance threshold. Compliance with the noise ordinance is required as a condition of issuance of grading permits and would therefore reduce potential short-term noise impacts to a level considered less than significant. Long-term Noise Impacts The proposed project would convert vacant land to residential uses and may result in a slight permanent increase in ambient noise levels for residents to the south and west of the project site. However, the noise generated by proposed residential uses would not exceed the noise standards outlined in the City's noise ordinance. The traffic generated by the project has the potential to increase noise levels on vicinity roadways. The daily traffic volumes with the project and cumulative traffic on Sunrise Way in the vicinity of the project site would range from 8,695 vehicles (south of San Rafael)to 5,000 vehicles (north of San Rafael). The dailytraflic volumes on San Rafael would range from 5,565 vehicles(west of Sunrise) to 1,560 vehicles (east of Sunrise). Based on these traffic projections, and assuming no noise attenuation from existing soundwalls, the 65 CNEL noise contour would be 39 feet from roadway centerline for Sunrise Way north of San Rafael, 35 feet from the roadway centerline for San Rafael west of Sunrise Way, 52 feet from the roadway centerline for Sunrise Way south of San Rafael, and 15 feet from the roadway centerline for San Rafael east of Sunrise Way. The 65 CNEL contour would fall within the roadway right-of-way or adjacent landscaped areas. Additionally, existing walls would attenuate the noise levels from the roadway, and the noise levels at adjacent R\ProjectstBurne16J007\Checklist-112002 wpd 37 n EV Palm Springs West Residential Prolect - sensitive uses (residences) would not exceed City standards. The project would not cause long-term traffic-related noise impacts. MITIGATION PROGRAM Prolect Design Features The perimeter wall previously described in PDF 5-1 would provide noise attenuation for residents within the project. Standard Conditions SC 10-1 The City of Palm Springs has adopted a Noise Ordinance which specifies that outdoor construction activities shall not take place between the hours of 7:00 p.m.and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays, or at any time on Sunday or a Federal Holiday. These time restrictions shall be included on the contractor specifications and shall be verified by the Building Official. Mitigation Measures MM 10-1 All construction vehicles or equipment, fixed or mobile, operated within 1,000 feet of a dwelling shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers. This requirement shall be shall be included on the contractor specifications and shall be verified by the Planning Director. MM 10-2 Stockpiling and/or vehicle staging areas shall be located onsite and as far as practical from sensitive noise receptors, i.e., residential areas. This requirement shall be included in the contractor specifications and shall be verified by the Planning Director. 11. PUBLIC SERVICES Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impacf Incorporated /mpacf Impact Would the proposal have an effect upon or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection?(Source 17) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ Distance to nearest fire station: I mile. b) Police protection?(Source 18) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ Fire protection would be provided by the Palm Springs Fire Department(PSFD)station#443(City station #3) located at 590 East Racquet Club Road, less than one mile (linear distance) to the southwest of the project site. The PSFD has set a maximum acceptable fire response time of five minutes. All structures built beyond the five-minute response area for each station are required by the City's Community Fire Protection Plan to install automatic fire sprinklers and other built-in fire protection equipment,as deemed appropriate by the Fire Department. The project is not within the five-minute response area for station#443. The Fire Department has indicated that the project would be required to install sprinklers within each residence. Additionally, fire flow infrastructure (i.e., fire hydrants) supplying the project site would be subject to inspection and approval by the PSFD. Development of the project in accordance with fire department requirements (hydrant locations, water supply, fire restrictive construction, access, built-in fire protection features, R:IProiectslBumetIW007\Checklist-112002 d 38 VIrO a f%On/ _ Palm Springs West Residential Project vegetation management, etc.)would ensure that impacts of the proposed project to fire protection services would be less than significant. Additional fire access to the project site has been provided via a gated entrance to the south of the project site via Blue Mountain Way in the Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park. Access at this entrance would be restricted to emergency vehicles only. Police protection would be provided by the Palm Springs Police Department(PSPD). Although the project would result in an increased demand for police protection, it would not require additional officers, equipment, or facilities and the project would not significantly impact police services. The projectwould be developed in accordance with Section II(Building Security Regulations)of Chapter 8.04 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal have an effect upon or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: c) Schools?(Source 19) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ The project is within the Palm Springs Unified School District(PSUSD)service area which includes portions of the cities of Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City and Rancho Mirage as well as certain unincorporated areas. Schools within the PSUSD service area include Agua Caliente Elementary, Cahuilla Elementary, Cielo Vista Elementary, Katherine Finchy Elementary, Palm Springs High, Raymond Cree, and Vista Del Monte. Students generated by the proposed projectwould attend Vista Del Monte Elementary, Raymond Cree Middle School,and Palm Springs High School. Raymond Cree Middle School and Palm Springs High School are well below capacity and would be able to accommodate students generated by the project. Attendance at Vista Del Monte Elementary is approaching capacity. Potential overflow produced by the project would attend Catherine Finchy or Cahuilla Elementary Schools. Based on student generation factors provided by the PSUSD,the proposed project would generate approximately 76 students (38 in kindergarten through 61h grade, 17 in 7`h and 8"grade, and 21 in 9'h through 121h grade). Under the school fee provisions of Senate Bill 50, statutory caps have been placed on developer fees, and local governments cannot deny a project based on the adequacy of school facilities. SIB 50 also permits additional developer fees to be levied in amounts up to approximately 50 percent of the cost of constructing,school facilities and for land acquisition and site development (Level 2 Fees). The State is responsible for contributing the other 50 percent of the cost of construction, site acquisition and development by providing per-pupil grants based upon State construction standards. Such per-pupil grants are based upon the school districts' funding eligibility as determined by a one-time assessment of existing capacity and unhoused students, and thereafter on a school facilities needs analysis to be conducted by the district. If, in the future, the State ceases to make apportionments of Rands to school districts, then the District may levy additional amounts representing approximately 100 percent of the cost of constructing school facilities and site acquisition (Level 3 Fee). The Level 2 and Level 3 Fees can only be levied if the school districts have met certain conditions including,but not limited to conducting a school facilities needs analysis and being deemed eligible to participate in the State Funding Program by the State Allocation Board. Potential impacts of the project on the PSUSD would be mitigated with payment of appropriate school fees.

Palm Springs West Residential Protect CONSTRUCTIONIINSTALLATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE The proposed project includes the installation of the necessary infrastructure for public utilities, as r, described in Section 3, Project Description. The physical impacts resulting from installation of the respective utilities have been addressed throughout this Initial Study as part of the overall impacts of the proposed project (i.e., the infrastructure lines are proposed within the grading limits of the project). While the project would require the extension of existing utility lines in the vicinity of the project site (including existing lines within Sunrise Way), the project would not require substantial alterations to the existing utilities systems provided by the following utility purveyors: • The Gas Company (natural gas) • Southern California Edison (SCE) • Verizon (phone service) • Desert Water Agency (water supply) • City of Palm Springs (sanitary sewer) • Waste Management Incorporated (solid waste) The proposed project involves the development of 176 residential units, one recreation area, and open space turf/play areas. Following is a discussion of the respective utilities, including the consumption/generation impacts of the project and the ability of the purveyors to provide service. ELECTRIC As previously noted, electric service to the project site would be provided by Southern California Edison. The electric demand for single-family units within the proposed project is estimated at 990,264 kWh(assumes 5,626.5kWh/unit/year). The estimated demand from the proposed project would be met by Southern California Edison. Coordination is typical between a project applicant and SCE to avoid any notable service disruptions during the extension of existing facilities and provision of electric service to the site. This typical coordination ensures that the capacity, design, and timing of electrical system improvements are adequate to serve the project and comply with California energy conservation requirements specified in California Administrative Code Title 24/25. Conservation measures within the project area will contribute to SCE's overall energy conservation goal. As previously noted, there are electrical facilities in the vicinity of the project that would be extended to serve the project, no impact to SCE's provision of service would result from implementation of the project. It should,be noted that electricity service to the project would be subject to Rule No. 14 of the California 'Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Shortage of Supply and Interruption of Delivery, dictating that available electricity supply would be apportioned among utility customers should a shortage of energy and/or generating capacity occur. NATURAL GAS As previously noted, natural gas service to the project site would be provided by The Gas Company. The annual natural gas demand for single-family units within the proposed project is estimated at 132,000 Therms (assumes 750 Therms/unit/year). The Gas Company has identified that natural gas to serve the project could be provided from an existing main located in Sunrise Way. The provision of natural gas service to the project site would not significantly impact services provided by The Gas Company. A45! R\Projects\eurneuWoo7lcheckkhst-t 12002 wpd 41 Environmental Evaluation Palm Springs West Residential Project - WATER The Desert Water Agency (DWA)would provide water service to the project site. The DWA water supply is obtained from groundwater wells,with supplemental water from the Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River Aqueduct. The proposed project would generate a demand of approximately 16.7 million gallons of water annually (assumes 260 gallons/unit/day). The DWA has indicated that it has sufficient water supply capacity to serve the project;therefore, the project would not significantly impact DWA services. It should also be noted that consistent with General Plan policy,the project would use drought-tolerant plants for landscaping and turf would be limited to areas to be used for active recreation. Existing offsite reservoirs would serve the project's emergency and fire-flow needs. It should be noted that the Whitewater River groundwater subbasin is currently in an overdraft condition. The increased water supply demand by the project would cumulatively contribute to this overdraft condition. As identified in Section 3, Project Description,the proposed project includes one lot for a futurewell site for the DWA. The installation and use of this well is not part of the proposed project. WASTEWATER Wastewater service to the project site is provided by the City of Palm Springs. The City of Palm Springs has indicated that there is sufficient capacity in the Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant and wastewater lines to serve the project. The project would require connections to offsite wastewater lines;however,the project would not'significantly impact wastewater services provided by the City. SOLID WASTE Solid waste generated by the project would be transferred to the Edom Hill landfill located in the City of Cathedral City. The Edom Hill landfill is a 148-acre facility with a permitted maximum daily capacity of 2,651 tons and total site capacity of 10,038,052 cubic yards (yd3). The existing daily peak disposal throughput is 577 tons and the facility has filled 2,952,523 yd3 of total site capacity (29 percent). The Edom Hill landfill does not have a scheduled closing date and has sufficient capacity to serve the project. The project would generate approximately 0.88-ton per day of solid waste (assumes ten pounds/unit/day), which would be within the daily capacity available at the Edom Hill landfill. The project would not conflict with federal, state, and/or local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. 13. AESTHETICS Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impacf Incorporated /mpacf Im act Would the proposal: a) Affect a scenic vista or scenic highway? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Sources land 3) b) Have a demonstrable negative aesthetic effect? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Source NA) c) Create light or glare? (Source NA) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ As previously noted, the project site is located in the northern portion of the City of Palm Springs. The site is currently vacant and is surrounded by vacant land to the north, northeast, and northwest. There is existing residential development south, east, and west of the project site. R:IProlectslaurneHU007%Checkllsl-712002.wpd 42 ❑VI V IOn Palm Springs West Residential Project Public views of the site are limited. The site can be seen from residential development south, east, and west of the project site. There are also distant views from Gene Autry Trail one mile east of the site. The project site is not visible from any designated State scenic highways; however, it would be visible from City designated Scenic Corridors as identified on the Scenic Corridors map of the City's General Plan. Scenic Corridors are streets and highways that have been designated for scenic treatment and street beautification. The proposed treatment of major streets has been determined by scenic qualities which enhance their right-of-way, their distant scenic views, and their importance as links between the proposed open space and recreation uses throughout the City. The project site can be seen from Sunrise Way and Gene Autry Trail,which are both designated as Scenic Corridors. Exhibit 6 includes photographs of the project site from surrounding vantage points. These views are described below: • View A—View from apartments in the Coyote Run Apartment Complex looking north toward the project site-View A depicts a view from apartments in the northern extent of the Coyote Run Apartment Complex. Existing views from first story apartments are predominantly obstructed by an existing wall. The photo is representative of views from second story apartments. Distant views of surrounding mountain ranges represent the dominant visual feature. • View B—View from apartments in the Coyote Run Apartment Complex looking west toward the proiect site-View B depicts a view from the Coyote Run Apartment Complex looking west toward the project site. This view is dominated by the distant San Jacinto Mountains. Foreground views consist of disturbed open space on the project site and residential units within the Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park and single-family residential area to the west. • View C—View from Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park looking north to the project site-View C depicts the typical terrain on the project site. There are distant views to the north partially obstructed by irregular terrain in the southern portion of the project site. This view can be seen from residents of the Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park. • View D —View from single-family residences to the west of the project site facing north and northeast-View D depicts views from vantage points in the western extent of the project site. This view is not dominated by any distinct features but consists of creosote bush scrub,the distant windfarm (consisting of rows of white windmills), and the distant San Bernardino Mountains. Views from the residences which are west/southwest of the project site are predominantly obstructed by existing walls along the backyards abutting the western project site boundary. Residences in this area consist of one-story homes only. • View E —View from Gene Autry Trail looking west to the project site - Gene Autry Trail is the closest roadway to the east from which the project site can be seen (one mile from the site). As previously noted, Gene Autry Trail is a City-designated Scenic Corridor. Given the distance, views of the site would be in the background from this roadway and would not be a prominent visual feature. The focus of the viewshed from Gene Autry Trail would be the distant mountain ranges. The determination of visual character is subjective; however, the project site currently has limited aesthetic value. Furthermore, the project site is designated for residential land use in the general plan. Although the introduction of residential uses into the view would alter the views of the project R:1ProleclslBurneLLWooTCheckllsl-112002w d 43 E Onm EV 1 1 Palm Springs West Residential Project site from the vantage points discussed below, this change would not be considered significant or adverse. r. Views of the site from the surrounding single-family residences to the west and first-story apartments within the, Coyote Run Apartment Complex to the south and east are currently obstructed by walls. Views of the site from the Santiago Sunrise Village Mobile Home Park to the south are currently obstructed by irregular terrain in the southern portion of the project site. The proposed project would not adversely affect views from these surrounding vantage points. Views from second story apartments within the Coyote Run Apartment Complex would be altered by project implementation. However, prominent views of the distant hills to the north and the San Jacinto Mountains to the West are not expected to be affected by project implementation. Views to the north from Sunrise Way would not be obstructed and the background viewof the San Jacinto Mountains as the prominent feature visible from Gene Autry Trail would not be impacted by the _ proposed project. There is existing residential development in the vicinity of the project, and the visual character of the proposed project would be consistent with existing development. Project construction would include an extensive landscaping program implemented to enhance the views of the project, including landscaped entries to the site from Sunrise Way, a City-designated Scenic Corridor. The project would introduce light sources to an area previously devoid of urban lighting. However, lighting would comply with the City of Palm Springs lighting ordinance and would require City approval. The expected intensity of night lighting would be comparable to surrounding residential developments and would not create significant glare or significantly impact adjacent uses. MITIGATION PROGRAM The proposed project would not result in significant aesthetic impacts and no mitigation is required. 14. CULTURAL RESOURCES Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Disturb paleontological resources?(Source 1) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ b) Disturb archaeological resources? (Source 1) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ c) Affect historical resources?(Source 1) ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ The project site is located on the desert floor which generally would not have offered significant sources of water, food or fiber for potential prehistoric habitation. The City of Palm Springs General Plan indicates that the project site is not within a known prehistoric or historic archaeological resource area. No historic resources are known to exist on the project site. Additionally, the site has been designated by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) as a"Low Probability" area for significant prehistoric resources. This is substantiated by the fact that the project site is within the floodplain of the W hitewater River. Potential fossil-bearing deposits in the City of Palm Springs are found in the hills surrounding the lowlands. The lowlands consist of alluvial fan deposits which have eroded over time from the surrounding hills. Fossils generally do not survive the process of erosion intact and are not expected to occur in the lowlands. Therefore, cultural and/or paleontological resources are not expected to occur on the site or in the vicinity. � RSPrctecls\aurnetWOOnChecklisst-112002 wpd 44 Environ ental Evaluation v � 0 s r y N 7F r f Rt'$$ 1P tt ztx o 4 ati s: MlrV 4�n'Yb ir�� urj„� �. tRt N'+: �' ] •blur aye q, r o1N C, o� T� N Ri ri",yf r-k j ! .� N �1 C y K ry t4pry ti �^ »�ana R1eI N )y,l -'oil n r m is Its pItlz + ' N }R° �yry t JN VVV -• t' O I $� � � �A r_ Kw , , 2 r� -ri " ` rI� O � y d r r 1:r r 0 5 c� +kCa 3 i r y v '- t" 1 � � w �° fix m n'LI if. t0 JC19 $ r , e i g 4,I 19 y� 1 r FF�� I '?] �tJ 1�'xT�' a gnu jVVfil`R .

Earthmoving,excavation, and compaction activities could impact unknown historic and/or prehistoric resources. If such resources were to be found during construction, such impacts would be mitigated through the T application of the Standard Condition identified below which would apply to any construction activity initiated in the City. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: d) Have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ (Source 1) e) Restrict existing religious or sacred useswithinthe ❑ ❑ ❑ potential impact area? (Source 1) As previously stated,the project site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The site is not currently used for religious purposes and development of the site would not have the potential to impact ethnic cultural values. No impacts are anticipated. MITIGATION PROGRAM Project Design Features There are no project design features related to cultural resources. Standard Conditions of Approval SC 14-1 In accordance with Public Resources Code 5097.94, 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. Mitigation Measures MM 14-1 A Riverside County-certified archaeologist shall be retained 'to attend pre-grade meetings. The archaeologist will carefully inspect the area to assess the potential for significant prehistoric or historic remains. If a site is uncovered, then a subsurface evaluation may be needed to assess the resource. Further subsurface investigation may be needed if the site is determined unique/important for its prehistoric information. MM 14-2 During construction activities, the archaeologist shall have the authority to temporarily divert or direct earthmoving to allow time to evaluate any exposed prehistoric or historic material. Any recovered prehistoric and historic artifacts shall be offered, on a first right-of-refusal basis, to a repository with a retrievable collection system and an educational and research interest in the materials such as the Western Center for Archaeology and Paleontology (UCR). 1d&Z a.\Projects\eurneLLUD07\checkii3l-112002 wpd 45 Environmental Evaluation Palm Springs West Residential Pn;Oct With implementation of this standard conditions and mitigation measures, the proposed project would not result in significant impacts related to cultural resources. No additional mitigation is required. 15. RECREATION Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Would the proposal: a) Increase the demand for neighborhood or regional K parks or other recreational facilities?(Source 1) b) Affect existing recreational opportunities? El E El (Source 1) _ The City of Palm Springs owns and maintains recreational facilities that would most likely be used by residents of the proposed project; Victoria Park and Desert Highland Park are closest to the project site (one mile and 1.3 miles from the site). The Mount San Jacinto State Park is located east of the City of Palm Springs. Additionally,the privately-owned Palm Springs Country Club and golf course is located immediately to the southeast of the project site. The City of Palm Springs has established a policy in its General Plan to provide a minimum of five acres of local recreational land, public and private, for each 1,000 residents As previously noted the project would generate 390 new residents in the City. Based on the City's policy, the project residents would require a minimum of 1.95 acres of park land. As identified in the project description, the proposed project includes 3.8 acres of park/open space, including 0.8 acre for a community recreation area and 3.0 acres of open space/passive recreation areas. While project residents would likely use public recreational facilities, the project would not result in a substantial increase in the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks to an extent that could result in physical deterioration or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Additionally, the proposed project would not impact any existing recreational opportunities. The project would not result in significant impacts to recreational facilities. MITIGATION PROGRAM The project would not have a significant impact on recreation facilities and no mitigation is required. 16. PUBLIC CONTROVERSY Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Im act a) Is the proposed project or action environmentally controversial in nature or can it reasonably be expected to become controversial upon disclosure to the public? The proposed project involves the development of 176 single-family residences in an area primarily developed with residential uses. The project site is north and east of existing development and surrounded by vacant land to the north, minimizing potential impacts to existing uses. There has RAPrajectslournelflJ00l\Checklist-1 12002.wpd 46 nV I EVai ficn r _ Palm Springs West Residential Project been no indication that the project is environmentally controversial in nature, nor is it reasonable to expect that it would become controversial in the future. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Potentially Significant ' Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Imnacf Impact Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a ❑ ❑ ❑ E plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? - r As identified in the analysis presented in Items 1 through 16,the proposed project would not result in any significant impacts, and would not degrade the quality of the environment. Impacts to biological resources were addressed under Item 7. While the project site has the potential to support sensitive plant and wildlife species,the project would not have a significant impact on these species. Focused surveys have indicated that there are no sensitive plant or wildlife species onsite. Additionally, the project applicant will be required to pay fees toward the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Habitat Conservation Plan, although focused surveys have indicated that this species does not occur onsite. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ environmental goals? The proposed project would not impact the ability of any agency to achieve long-term environmental goals, as discussed in Items 1 through 16 of this Initial Study. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ('Cumulatively considerable' means that the incremental effects of a project ❑ ❑ ❑ are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and effects of probable future projects.) As discussed in Items 1 through 16 above, the proposed project would not result in any project-specific significant environmental impacts with the implementation of the recommended mitigation program. The cumulative impacts associated with the City of Palm Springs General Plan have been addressed in the General Plan Update Final EIR (December 1992) for the respective R\Projects\Burnett\J007\Cheekhst-112002 wpd 47 Knvilon t E Uatln Palm Springs West Residential Project topical issues. The proposed project would have no greater impacts than the land uses identified - in the General Plan for the project site, and would not increase the cumulative impacts assumed in the General Plan Update Final EIR. With respect to individual projects which may contribute to cumulative impacts, a 61-acre, 238-unit residential development is proposed east of Sunrise Avenue in the vicinity of the project site. In association with the proposed project,this project would contribute to cumulative traffic impacts. The traffic analysis presented in Section 6 includes traffic associated with this project and a growth factor has been incorporated to address potential future traffic from other projects. Therefore, the cumulative traffic impacts of the project have been addressed in this Initial Study. The long-term noise analysis included in Section 10 also takes into consideration cumulative traffic, and therefore, cumulative noise impacts. The project would contribute to cumulative impacts related to air quality, visual changes, and loss of existing natural habitat; however, the project's contribution to these cumulative impacts would not be significant, and any future projects proposed would be subject to environmental review pursuant to CEQA and would be required to mitigate potential impacts. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ human beings? Based on the analysis presented in this Initial Study, the proposed project would not have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings. 18.

Dear Mr. Lee: This letter report presents the results of focused surveys conducted by BonTerra Consulting to determine the presence or absence of the federally-Threatened and state-Endangered Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (CVFTL) (Uma inornata) on a proposed residential project site (hereafter referred to as the project site) located within undeveloped land in the vicinity of Interstate 10 (1-10) between Sunrise Way to the east and Avenida San Gabriel to the west within the City of Palm Springs, Riverside County, California. Surveys were conducted according to guidelines provided by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) by a biologist familiar with the identification of the species. Project Location and Description The project site is located in the northern portion of the City of Palm Springs, southeastern Riverside County, California. The project site is bounded by the Coyote Run multi-family residential complex and Sunrise Way to the east, open space and the Whitewater River wash to the north, open space and single-family residential to the west, and single-family residential to the south. Vehicular access to the project site is provided via Sunrise Way in the eastern section of the site. Regional access to the site is provided by the Interstate 10 freeway (1-10). The local vicinity of the project site is depicted in Exhibit 1. A site photo is presented in Exhibit 2. The project site is located southwest of the Willow Hole-Edom Hill portion of the Coachella Valley preserve system, which is northeast of I-10. The project site is 51 Kalmus Drove covered by the U.S. Geological Survey's Cathedral City, California Quadrangle at Township 3S, Range 4E,and includes a portion of Section 35. Elevations range from e'SUire E 20,0 approximately 540 feet above mean sea level (msl)to approximately 560 feet above msl. :Costa Mesa Plant species were identified in the field or collected for future identification during California ,fl2626`' CVFTL surveys. Additionally, focused surveys for special status plants were conducted on April 16 and May 15, 2001, by Scott White for BonTerra Consulting. Plants were identified using keys in Hickman (1993), Munz (1974), and Abrams 4d4=9599-fax (1923). The following description of the vegetation on the project site uses taxonomy in Hickman (1993) for scientific and common names. 1 www bonterraconsulting.com /�+�j�/ ��� 11 Mr. Jason Lee July 20, 2001 Page 2 Plant associations on the project site consist of three vegetation communities following either the Sawyer/Keeler Wolf (1994) or Holland (1986) classification systems, whichever was more appropriate. These include tamarisk series in the form of planted tamarisk windrows, white bursage series, disturbed/cleared areas, and disturbed creosote bush series. n Tamarisk series vegetation onsite is composed solely of tamarisk (Tamarix aphylla), which excludes all other plant species beneath the drip lines. This plant community occurs as a planted windrow along the western perimeter of the project site. The substrate below the tamarisk windrow was covered by trash which has accumulated on the leeward side of the windrow and was inappropriate for use by CVFTL. .2 White bursage series vegetation on the project site includes white bursage(burrowbush)(Ambrosia dumosa)and indigo bush (Psorothamnus{Dalea}emoryi). Creosote bush (Larrea tridentata)and cheesebush (Hymenoclea salsola) also occurred within this vegetation type on the project site at lower densities. . A Disturbed/cleared areas consist of areas disturbed, to a limited degree, by off-road vehicles resulting in a series of trails throughout the site which are devoid of vegetation and consist of loose, large-grained sand. Disturbed creosote bush series vegetation (also called Sonoran creosote bush scrub) covers a large portion of the project site. This plant community is characterized by sparse creosote bush with other plants growing at a lower density. Much of the substrate within this plant community is described in the CVFTL Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)as a sand veneer consisting of relatively thin sand deposits covering a hard surface, where relatively low-lying vegetation acts to impound and shield shallow sand deposits. Sand hummocks, also described in the HCP, are teardrop- shaped accumulations of sand that build behind shrubs and other low relief. Other plant species within this series include indigo bush, plicate coldenia (Tiquilia plicata), brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), petalonyx (Petalonyx thurben), cheesebush, and Mormon tea (Ephedra californica). The site has been subject to illegal dumping and several scattered heaps of debris and scrap materials have accumulated mainly in the southern and western parts of the project site. Existing residential development and a six-foot-high wall and tamarisk windrow to the west restricts the transport of blow sand onto these areas of the site. y Background The CVFTL is restricted to sand dunes in the Coachella Valley, and requires fine, loose,windblown sand (blowsand),and widely spaced desert shrubs. Suitable habitat can include loose sand dunes, sand hummocks, and the edges of washes where sand has accumulated (Pough 1970, England and Nelson 1976, and Turner et al. 1981). Critical habitat was designated for the CVFTL at the time of federal listing. Critical habitat is defined as specific areas within the geographical range occupied by the CVFTL that possess the physical or biological features essential for the conservation of the species and that may require special management protection. The northern boundary of designated critical habitat extends beyond the limits of the CVFTL's distribution to include the sand source which is essential for maintaining down-wind blowsand deposits. In 1986,the Coachella Valley Preserve system was established. Three separate sites,each having a discrete source of blowsand, were set aside to protect CVFTL populations: (1) the Coachella Valley Preserve, also known as the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Preserve or the Thousand Palms Preserve; (2)the Willow Hole-Edom Hill Preserve;and(3)the Indian Avenue Preserve within the Whitewater River Floodplain. Barrows,(unpublished data)recently identified scattered pockets l.J ►400 Mr. Jason Lee July 20, 2001 Page 3 of blowsand occupied by CVFTL in the hills along the northern fringe of the valley, but CVFTL occurred only at low densities. The project site lies within areas covered by the CVFTL Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) (TNC 1985). The CVFTL HCP was developed to afford protection to the CVFTL, while also allowing development to continue within the range of the species. Activities occurring within the CVFTL HCP areas that impact habitat,whether occupied by the lizard or not,are required to pay a per-acre fee as mitigation for potential impacts to this species under the federal Endangered Species Act. As the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)is not presently a signatory to the CVFTL HCP, nor its accompanying Implementation Agreement, the CDFG currently requires a separate permit (i.e., a Section 2081 permit) under the California Endangered Species Act for potential impacts to this species. Survey Methods Focused surveys for the CVFTL were conducted on May 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, and 25, 2001, by Samuel C. Stewart of BonTerra Consulting, Mr. Stewart followed survey guidelines provided by the CDFG which stated that"surveys must be conducted: (1)from May 1 through July 31; (2)when temperatures are 35.5 degrees centigrade to 40 degrees centigrade(96 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit) in the sun, one centimeter above the ground on low wind days; (3) via transects no greater than ten meters apart, covering the entire site; and (4) at least six times covering the entire site in the same season." A Speedtech Skymate digital anemometer was used to measure wind speed and temperature every 15 minutes to ensure that survey conditions stayed within the parameters of the guidelines. If atmospheric parameters were exceeded for more than 30 minutes, a survey visit was terminated and repeated during appropriate conditions. Survey Results Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Surveys Seven focused CVFTL survey visits were conducted on the project site. Although common species of lizard such as desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), western whip-tail lizard (Cnemidophorus tigris), and zebra-tailed lizard (Callisaurus draconoides)were found to be abundant and active and less common lizards such as the long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislenzir)were encountered on the project site during the surveys, no CVFTL or clearly-identifiable tracks of CVFTL were located. Because the CVFTL was not found to occur on the project site, the project applicant will not need to apply for a Section 2081 permit from the CDFG. The applicant will pay the per-acre fee as required by the CVFTL HCP. Please contact Ann Johnston or Sam Stewart at (714) 444-9199 if you have questions or comments.

This letter report presents the findings of a spring botanical survey for the approximate 40-acre Palm Springs project site in Riverside County. The project site is an irregularly shaped parcel in Palm Springs,slightly south of Chino Canyon Creek and west of Sunrise Way, which abuts the site in the northeast corner (Exhibit 1). Boundaries to the south are formed by existing development; those to the north are not. Topography is generally level terrain with scattered low remnant dunes around shrubs. Elevation ranges from about 540 to 580 feet above mean sea level (msl). The site is vacant, but has been disturbed by grading, trash and vegetation dumping, off-road vehicle use, and other human activities. Adjacent lands are residential to the south and open ace to the north. The site is mapped on the USGS Palm Springs r-1 L . P P PP :'�` f� 7%z-minute topographic map in Township 3 South, Range 4 East, Section 35. The site is in the upper Coachella Valley which historically was largely covered by - windblown sand dunes. Much of the duneland has been converted to other land uses _ or indirectly affected by surrounding development, including land use changes and linear projects (e.g., railroads, highways, and flood control channels)which generally include windrows or other structures to interrupt blowing sand. As a result, much of the upper valley no longer has a sufficient upwind sand source to maintain active dunes. This site,which likely was once duneland, is now generally flat and soils tend to be coarser sand and gravel or hardened silts which have been left behind as finer sands have been transported downwind. Patches of windblown sand remain, generally around shrubs and berms, but the site provides only remnants of the historic dune habitat. Methods The spring botanical survey was conducted on April 16, and May 15, 2001 by consulting botanist Mr. Scott White. Surveys were particularly intended to determine presence or absence of the federally-listed endangered plant, Coachella Valley milk- vetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae) and other special status plants occurring in the general region (attachment). Prior to visiting the site, a known Ca'ifdG ' a;9;2b2b Coachella Valley milk-vetch population was visited to confirm that it was in flowerand readily identifiable. j71 4�''444;9599 fax 1 /� ww. onterraconsulting.com 27 PROJECT SITE =.ter-_ -- _:✓''' :— hIJ:Radiu Towat• m 6 all fill 1'_ - Il.vl fl3rK It i ! - ii •1; ' :. :_..

USGS C O N S U! 7 I N G Mr. Jason Lee July 24, 2001 Page 2 Meandering transects were conducted over the entire site on the first visit,to determine areas with the most potential for the Coachella Valley milk-vetch. On the second visit, survey efforts were primarily focused on patches of windblown sand in the lee of shrubs and other objects. Species observed during the surveys are included in Attachment A. Background Table 1 lists special status plants known to occur in the Palm Springs region with their listing status. Additional background information is provided for species that are listed as Threatened or Endangered. Coachella Valley Milk-vetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae) The Coachella Valley milk-vetch is a federally-listed Endangered species endemic to windblown sand in the Coachella Valley from Cabazon to Indio, below approximately 1,200 feet above msl. It also is reported on hillsides surrounding the dunelands (Shreve&Wiggins 1964). It is an annual or short-lived perennial with a deep taproot that dies back to ground level in the summer. The first leaves appear in late winter or early spring, and resemble seedling dyeweed (Psorothamnus emoryi), a shrub occurring in similar habitats. Young Coachella Valley milk-vetch is distinguished from dyeweed by its leaflets, which are larger, not as leathery, and lack the small punctate glands around the margins of dyeweed leaflets. Once the plants mature, the two species are easily distinguished by size, flower size, flower color, inflorescence arrangement, and fruit shape. Coachella Valley milk-vetch may flower as early as February or as late as May (Munz 1974), depending on rainfall and temperature. After flowering, the leaves dry and fall. The plant may be recognized for a short period in early summer by its swollen pods, but they soon mature and disperse. There is evidence that seeds of a closely related plant are sometimes dispersed by kangaroo rats (White & Myers 1997). In some years this species may not come up at all. This milk-vetch reportedly requires at least one winter rain event producing an inch or more of rain during a single storm (L. LaPre, personal communication). Triple Ribbed Milk-vetch (Astragalus tricarinatus) The triple ribbed milk-vetch is a federally-listed Endangered species of arroyos, canyons, and hillsides between approximately 1,400 and 4,000 feet above msl. It occurs in Whitewater Canyon of the eastern San Bernardino Mountains, and in nearby canyons, hills, and mountains to the east (Spellenberg 1993) including Morongo Canyon and Mission Canyon and one disjunct site approximately40 miles south at Agua Alta Canyon (Sanders et al. 1995; FWS 1998). This species occurs in sandy or gravelly soils of dry washes, bases of slopes, or steep decomposed granite (FWS 1998). It is very rare, and even several known locations consist of only a single plant. The only known occurrence of more than a few plants is at Morongo Canyon. The triple-ribbed milk- vetch is an erect, bushy perennial, ranging from a few inches to approximately one-foot tall (Munz 1974, Shreve and Wiggins 1964). It dies back to the ground each year and may not come up at all in some years (FWS 1998). It flowers between February and May, presumably depending on temperatures and rain. 0A77 Mr. Jason Lee July 24, 2001 Page 3 TABLE 1 SPECIAL STATUS PLANT SPECIES KNOWN TO OCCUR WITHIN THE REGION OF THE PALM SPRINGS PROJECT SITE Special Status Plants Habitat and Distribution Flower Status Occurrence season Designation Probability Abronia villosa var. aurita Sand, mostly broad alluvial fans and benches, below Fed: None Low (margin of Chaparral sand verbena about 5,000 ft. elev., "Inland Empire"and adj.

Based on the results of the field surveys and the habitats occurring on the site, no listed Threatened or Endangered species are present. Other special status plants are either absent or have only a low probability of occurring (Table 1), but are not expected to occur in substantial numbers. These conclusions are based on either absence of suitable habitat (e.g., rocky slopes and canyon walls for triple- ribbed milk-vetch)or on results of thorough field surveys,especially for Coachella Valley milk-vetch.

An Addendum to the Environmental Assessment/ Initial Study was prepared for the project. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines, a lead agency may prepare an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration if minortechnical changes or additions are necessary, but none of the changes meet the conditions outlined in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of lacamLw an Environmental Impact Report. The purpose of this Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration is to consider an application for a revised preliminary planned development district,and a revised tentative tract map.The creation of"lot O" is a minor project refinement which does not change project conditions,has no impact on properties in the area,will not result in a significant environmental impact. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines,the revision to the project is minor and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is not required. Section 2: Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 9402.00, the City Council finds that: a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for which a Planned Development District is authorized by the City's zoning ordinance. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance for the underlying R-1-C zone, single family residential development(single family residences) are a permitted use. b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to the existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The proposed project consists the subdivision of 46.2 acres into 176 lots and the development of a 176 unit,one and two story,detached single family residential project. The use is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, and improvements, including one recreation area have been proposed in conjunction with the subject application(s). The recreation area would feature a free-form resort style swimming pool, spa, sun decking, shade arbors and restroom building and drinking fountain.The project also features pedestrian pathways and active and passive recreation areas.The project will therefore not be detrimental to the existing or future uses permitted in the zone in which the use is located. C. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features required in order to adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood. This Planned Development District application proposes to provide specific development standards for the project as well as a preliminary development plan as provided for by Zoning Code Section 9403.00.Approval by the Planning Commission and City Council of the preliminary development will constitute approval of the Preliminary Planned Development District. Pursuant to the R-1-Czone, Section 92.01.01.D.10 of the Zoning Ordinance, in order to encourage a more creative approach in the development of land and to allow for more usable open space areas, large scale residential developments may be permitted on site of not less than four and one half acres of land.The land is required to developed as an integrated unit, conforming to density and all other property development standards except that lot area, lot dimensions, and yards may be modified to allow"cluster"and"row"housing:provided the overall development equals LIC05 the general quality of development in this zone. A number of facts exist in support of this application for PD-269, including the irregular crescent shape of the parcel in question, the provisions for common area improvements with 3.8 acres of area devoted to common open space and amenities in addition to the provision of private rear yards, the private streets proposed as part of this project, and the proposed traffic calming. The proposed 20' landscaped parkway along Sunrise Way is consistent with development in the area, most notably the Coyote Run Apartments. A prohibition of two-story units both within 200 feet of the adjacent R-1 zone boundary to the south and in locations adjacentto existing single story buildings, in consistentwith the provisions of the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The 200' setback distance is the standard unit of measurement required between 2 story buildings in higher density zones,such as the R-2 Zone and existing single story residences located in the R-1-C zone. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed uses, and the proposed project is within allowable density of the underlying R-1-C zone. d. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. The proposed project will contribute to improvement of the existing street system that will serve the site, and with said improvements, the public street system will be adequate to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. e. The conditions to be imposed are deemed necessaryto protectthe public health,safety and general welfare, of the existing neighborhood in which this project is situated. The conditions imposed are necessary to bring the project into compliance with applicable zoning, building, and other regulations to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the existing neighborhood in which this project is located. Section 3: Pursuant to 9.62.010 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code and Section 92.01.00 et. sec. of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds that: a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific plans. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the goals and objectives of the CDL-8 Controlled Low-Density Residential, General Plan designation which governs the subject property as well as all property adjacent to the subject site. b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent with the underlying R-1-C zone in which the property is located. The proposed project is consistent with existing development in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project, particularly the existing single story, multi-family residences located to the south and east, the existing single family residences located to the west and the existing mobile home park located to the south of the property. � V C. The site is physically suited for this type of development. The project site is level and each lot contains adequate developable building area. There are no bodies of water, ravines,or significant topographic features on the subject property. d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development. City zoning criteria for the underlying R-1-Czone and CDL-8 General Plan designation encourage and allow for a more creative approach in the development of land, which allows for more usable open space areas. Pursuant to Section 92.01.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, large scale residential developments may be permitted on sites of not less than four and one half acres of land.The land is required to developed as an integrated unit,conforming to density and all other property development standards except that lot area, lot dimensions, and yards may be modified to allow"cluster"and `row" housing: provided the overall development equals the general quality of development in this zone. The proposed projectwill allowfor a housing opportunity which provides common open space amenities, private street and smaller lot sizes.This type of housing product does not currently exist in the community and will provide needed housing product within the community. The General Plan Designation of CDL-8 permits establishes a maximum of 4 dwelling units peracre fornon-affordable housing.The proposed densityof 3.8 dwelling units per acre is within the allowable range of density. Thus, the site is physically suited for the proposed number of lots, and the density of the subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project which incorporates a more creative approach in the development of land and allows for more usable open space areas is consistentwith the provisions of the zoning ordinance. e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats. The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that the project is adjacent to existing developments to the east,west and south. Through the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures any environmental impacts regarding animal or plant life will be reduced to a level of less than significant. There are no bodies of water on the subject property and therefore no fish will be disturbed. An Addendum to the Environmental Assessment/ Initial Study was prepared for the project. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines,a lead agency may prepare an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration if minor technical changes or additions are necessary, but none of the changes meet the conditions outlined in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a revised Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The purpose of this Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration is to consider an application for a revised preliminary planned development district, and a revised tentative tract map.The creation of`lot O"is a minor project refinement which does not change project conditions, has no impact on properties in the area, will not result in a ,ICSIM00, significant environmental impact. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the revision to the project is minor and the preparation of a revised Initial Study and Mitigtated Negative Declaration is not required. f. 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. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. Anumberof easements,transect the property; however,the proposed subdivision will not interfere with these easements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves Case No. 5.0889-PD-269; and Tentative Tract Map 30058, subject to those conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to be satisfied prior to the issuance of building permits unless otherwise specified.
