1. BIO-1: A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre - construction burrowing owl surveys onsite. The first shall occur between 14 and 30 days prior to ground disturbance, and the second shall occur within 24 hours of ground disturbance. If burrowing owls are detected, the project proponent shall consult with C DFW to determine what cou rse of action is needed, such as the use of exc lusion devices (if applicable) to discourage owls from using burrows that are believed to be in jeopardy of being impacted by implementation of the project.

2. BIO-2: For any grubbing, g rading or other site disturbance or tr ee or vegetation removal occurring during the nesting season between January 15th and August 31 st, a qualified biologist sha ll conduct at least one nesting bird survey, and more if deemed necessary by the consulting bi ologist, immediately prior to initiati on of project -related ground distu rbing activities. If nesting birds are present, no work shall be permitted near the nest(s ) until the young birds have fledged. While there is no established protocol for nest avoidance, when consulted, the CDFW generally recommends avoidance buffers of about 500 feet for birds-of-prey, and 100 – 300 feet for songbirds. If ground disturbance occurs outside the nesting season, this requirement shall be waived.

3. CUL-1: Earth-moving activi ties including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site shall be monitored by a qualified a rchaeologist and approved Tribal Monitor(s).

Should cultural materials be discovered, they shall be recorded and evaluated in the field.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Purpose of the Initial Study:

The City of Cathedral City, as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is preparing an Initial Study (IS) for the proposed Cathedral Cove Center Project, including a Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, Design Review, Tentative Parcel Map , and Zone Ordinance Amendment. These components are referred to as “the Project” or “the proposed Project” in this document.

This Initial Study evaluates the potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the proposed Project. The Initial Study has been prepared in accordance with CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Cathedral City CEQA Environmental Procedures, and serves as the basis for the preparation of a

Project Location:

The Project is located on approximately 13.93 acres of land on the southwest corner of East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) and Date Palm Drive in the City of Cathedral City, in the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County (Exhibits 1 through 4).

General Plan and Zoning:

The Project site is designated as Downtown Commercial on the City’s General Plan Land Use Map, which support the zoning designations of Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN) and Mixed-Use Commercial (MXC) assigned to the Project site. This designation provides for a variety of commercial centers, ranging from storefront scale buildings and office space, to lodging and entertainment establishments. Permitted land uses for Mixed -Use Commercial include a mix of residential, u p to 45 dwelling units per acre, commercial retail, office and public gathering spaces. Uses may be mixed either horizontally or vertically, with an emphasis on commercial and allowing “big box” development.

The City’s Zoning Map designates the northern portion of the Project site along East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) as Mixed-Use Commercial (MXC), and the southern portion as Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN), allowing 36 DU/AC for lots greater than 42,000 square feet.

According to the Cathedral City Municipal Code Section 9.31.040, when multiple parcels are part of a single development, and the zoning for the development is a mixture of MXC and DRN, the provisions of either zone shall apply to the entire project area. Therefore, the proposed Project land uses will not conflict with the boundary between DRN and MXC in the Zoning Map pending confirmation by the Planning Commission at the time of Project approval.

Project Description:

The Project site consists of 15 irregular shaped lots (Assessor’s Parcel No. 674-500-038, 687-500-001, -003, -006 through -012, -014, and -018 through -020, and 687 -207-003 and -006). Currently, the Project site is undeveloped and bounded by East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) on the north, Van Fleet Avenue on the west, D street on the south, and the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel on the east. The Project site is contiguous and owned by the City except for a shared driveway with an existing commercial building on the northwest corner between Parcel 7 and Parcel 8 . The proposed Parcel 7 is currently paved with some designated parking spaces.

The Project consists of a mix of commercial and residential uses , including restaurants, retail, a convenience market and fueling station, and multi-family residential. The commercial portion of the Project will be developed in two sequential phases. Phase I is 4.4 acres comprised of three (3) restaurant/coffee shops with drive-through services totaling 7,525 square feet (SF), a 12-pump gasoline station with 3,700 SF convenience market, and a 6,650 SF multi-tenant retail building. Phase II is 1.4 acres comprised of two (2) multi-tenant retail/restaurant building totaling 6,500 SF. Sufficient surface parking stalls are proposed for the commercial portion of the Project site (Table 1). The remaining 8.05 acres are for a future multi-family residential development of up to 200 units, which is a 25- dwelling unit per acre density ; however, precise plans have not yet been prepared and this portion of the Project site will remain vacant until such plans are prepared and approved by the city. General assumptions have been made for the 200 multi-family units to analyze potential impacts of the future development.

The commercial development will consist of single-story, mostly free-standing buildings, each provided with adjacent parking spaces. The commercial buildings are proposed to be 22 to 29 feet in height (t o parapet). The residential units are assumed to be two- and three-story townhomes or stacked flats not to exceed the maximum allowed height in the DRN zone of 36 feet.

The proposed Project includes a Planned Use Development (PUD) application, Conditional Use Permits (CUP), Tentative Parcel Map (TPM 37876), Zone Ordinance Amendment, and Design Review). A PUD is a comprehensive development plan that allows flexible planning and modifications of the requirements of the underlying zone to accommodate the Project. Specifically, the PUD will establish phased development of the eight commercial parcels located on the northern 5.8-acres of the 13.93- acre site, and a multi-family residential development on the remaining 8.05 acres. The CUPs are for

two restaurants with drive-throughs, a coffee shop with a drive-through, a gas station with convenience market, and Type 21 alcohol sale Public Convenience and Necessity determination. The TPM will subdivide the site into 9 parcels to allow for the proposed mix of uses (retail, fuel sale, residential etc.).

The Zoning Ordinance Amendment proposes text amendments to the Mixed-Use Commercial (MXC) district and the Downtown Residential Nei ghborhood (DRN) district to allow the proposed land uses be developed without conflicting with the zoning designations. The Design Reviews are specific to the commercial portion of the Project. Future plans for the residential portion of the Project will be required to undergo a separate design review prior to approval.

Access and Circulation:

A total of four two-way access points are proposed for the commercial portion of the Project. There are three two-way access points on East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) and one two-way access point on Van Fleet Avenue. Specifics about access to the future residential portion of the Project are currently unknown, however access will likely be taken from D Street and/or Van Fleet Avenue . An existing street (A Street), connected to Van Fleet Avenue and East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), passes through the northwest corner of the subject property and provides two of the access points . With proposed modifications, this street will continue to provide two-way access to the subject property from Van Fleet Avenue and East Palm Canyon Drive and also serve as a rear access for the existing commercial building located at 68783 East Palm Canyon Drive. The main access points to the commercial portion of the Project will be from East Palm Canyon Drive at the existing Allen Avenue intersection where there are existing curb cuts and a right-in turn/straight thru lane into the Project site, and the Date Palm Drive intersection, which is planned for extension. Both existing intersection traffic signals will provide four-way traffic control at build out.

Utilities and Service Providers
The following agencies and companies will provide service to the Project site:

1. Sanitary Sewer: Desert Water Agency

2. Water: Desert Water Agency

3. Electricity: Southern California Edison (SCE)

4. Gas: Southern California Gas Company

5. Telephone: Frontier; Spectrum

6. Storm Drain: City of Cathedral City

7. Waste and Recycling: Burrtec

Environmental Setting and Surrounding Land Uses
The subject site is currently undeveloped except the northwest corner, which includes a paved area including a street and parking spaces; the balance of the site has been graded and contains sparse native vegetation. The subject site sits on generally flat terrain that gently slopes to the north. Land uses nearby and adjacent to the site include:

DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed Project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

X
I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the Project have been made by or agreed to by the Project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find t hat the proposed Project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed Project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact o n the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have be en analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed Project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:

1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenc ed information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to Projects like the one involved (e.g., the Project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on Project-specific factors as well as ge neral standards (e.g., the Project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a Project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as Project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially si gnificant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site specific conditions for the Project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a Project’s environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impacts to less than significance.

Environmental Setting

The City of Cathedral City, including the project site, is located in Coachella Valley which is a desert valley that extends approximately 45 miles in Riverside County, southeast from the San Gorgonio Pass to the northern shore of the Salton Sea.

Surrounding mountains include the San Jacinto Mountains, the foothills and slopes of which ascend from the Valley floor and form the westerly boundary of the Coachella Valley. At its peak, Mount San Jacinto rises to an elevation of 10,834 feet above mean s ea level. The Santa Rosa Mountains, with Toro Peak at an elevation of 8,715 feet above mean sea level, generally form the southerly boundary of the valley. In the northerly portion of the valley are the Indio Hills, with elevations rising to about 1,600 fe et, and the Little San Bernardino Mountains further north, forming the northeasterly boundary of the valley.

The Project site occurs in an urban environment, on the City’s southeast boundary abutting the Santa Rosa Mountain foothills. The site was previo usly developed with a gasoline service station, an automobile service/repair facility, and single-family residences, all of which have been demolished and followed by mass grading. The current urban environment includes single family homes, commercial shopping centers, the Agua Caliente Casino, and major roadways. The project site is currently vacant and undeveloped.

Ultimate development of the project site will result in the construction of a single-story commercial shopping center that includes a gas station, general commercial, retail, and restaurants , including drive- through restaurants, along East Palm Canyon Drive. The southern portion of the site is expected to develop with multi-family residential unit s in the future, however precise plans have not b een prepared or submitted at this time. Residential units may range from single-story to three-stories.

The site is not located along a State -designated scenic roadway or highway; however, the site is located along East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) , wh ich is a locally identified scenic image corridor (General Plan Exhibit CM -4). Development along a scenic image corridor require special setbacks and landscaping where applicable to limit impacts to existing viewsheds and visual character along the corridor. Although not officially designated, East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) is considered eligible for State Scenic Highway designation.1

Discussion of Impacts

a) Less Than Significant . The project site is located in an urbanized area of Cathedral City that supports a mix of development, including commercial and residential land uses. The Project site is currently vacant and bounded by East Palm Canyon Drive and commercial development to the north, single-family residential development to the west and south, and East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel on the east. Further east along East Palm Canyon Drive includes vacant land, commercial structures similar to properties to the north, the Desert Extended Stay Hotel and a mobile home park. Structures on these properties are consistent with other urban development in the area in scale and height.

From the subject property, scenic views of the San Bernardino Mountains are to the north and northeast, views of the Santa Rosa Mountains are to the south and east, and views of the San Jacinto Mountains are to the west. The Project site is located approximately 6 miles southwest of the San Bernardino Mountain foothills, approximately 150 feet wes t of the Santa Rosa Mountain foothills, and approximately 5 miles east of the San Jacinto Mountain foothills. From the Project site, views of the lower elevations of the mountains to the north, south, and west are blocked by intervening residential and commercial developments. However, middle and upper elevations of the mountains are visible above. Southeasterly views of the Santa Rosa Mountain foothills are currently unobstructed by structures.

The Project proposes to develop commercial/retail/restaurant uses, and for future development, 200 multi-family residential units. Commercial building heights range from 22 to 2 9 feet tall (to parapet) (Exhibit 7). Although precise plans have not been prepared for the future residential development, it is assumed that the structures will not exceed the 36-foot maximum height allowed for residential uses in the DRN zoning district. Assuming the maximum allowed height of 36 feet, the residential structures would be taller than existing structures in the Project vicinity and would partially block southern and eastern views of the Santa Rosa Mountains from viewers located north and west of the site, which are already blocked to some extent by existing residential and commercial structures to the north, south and west of the project.

Viewers to the east of the site and north o f East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) enjoy views of the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south, including views of the lower elevations and foothills, and the San Jacinto Mountains to the wes t, with onl y minimal obstruction from existing single - and two-story structures. The proposed Project would not obstruct views to the south and only partially obstruct views to the southwest to some extent, however, the nearest structures are located approximately 580 feet east of the Project site boundary ( auto dealership and hotel) a distance which would lessen these impacts. Views of the mid-range and peaks of the San Jacinto Mountains would remain, and views to the north, east, and south would remain unobstructed by the Project.

Lands immediately to the north, south and west are currently developed as road ways, residential and commercial uses. Viewers from the north looking to the south and viewers from the west looking east would experience blocked views of the Santa Rosa Mountain foothills as a result of the Project, however mid -range and upper elevation views to the south would remain. Viewers from the south (single -family residential) would not lose views of the Santa Rosa Mountain foothills from any direction. Distant views of the San Bernardino Mountains to the north would be partially obstructed, however due to their distance and current level of existing development obstruction, impacts are expected to be less than significant.

With the construction of the proposed Project , views of the foothills will be reduced but not eliminated, views of the mid-range and tops of the surrounding mountains will remain, and impacts will be less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. The subject property is not located along a State-designated scenic highway and does not contain any scenic resources, including trees, rock outcroppings or historic building. However, the site is located along East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) , which is a locally identified scenic image corridor with views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountain ranges. Development along a scenic image corridor requires special setbacks and landscaping where applicable to limit impacts to existing viewsheds and visual character along the corridor.

With adherence to city development standards , the Project would result in less than significant impacts to scenic resources.

c) Less Than Significant Impact. Except for the existing parking lot on the northwest corner of the sit, the Project site is currently vacant. The ultimate development of the site will result in the construction of single -story commercial/retail structures up to 29 feet tall (to parapet) and 200 residential units not to exceed 36 feet in height, per zoning development standards. The proposed Project requires landscaping and high-quality design features to minimize any visual degradation of the site. The project site is visible from East Palm Canyon Drive; however, the proposed Project occurs on a major arterial, and is consistent with the adjacent existing land uses in the immediate area. Furthermore, to preserve the aesthetic quality of views from East Palm Canyon Drive, buildings proposed for the site will be designed and constructed in accordance with City standards and will not conflict with these standards. Therefore, impacts associated with visual character are expected to be less than significant.

d) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project is located in an urban environment that includes existing sources of light and glare associated with nearby land uses. Nearby sources of light include exterior lighting on commercial and residential buildings, street lighting on the adjacent East Palm Canyon Drive, passing vehicle headlights, and outdoor lighting on surface parking lots. Except for the existing parking lot on the northwest corner of the site, the site is currently vacant and there is no lighting onsite. Lighting is provided currently in the parking lot.

Short-Term (Construction-Related) Impacts
During the construction phase, there would be no need to add security lighting for construction areas or construction staging areas, because nighttime construction is not anticipated. Therefore, impacts related to new sources of light and glare during construction would be less than significant.

Long-Term (Operations-Related) Impacts
The ultimate development of commercial buildings on the site can be expected to generate increased levels of light and glare from interior and exterior building lighting, s afety and security lighting, landscape lighting, and vehicles accessing the site during the day and nighttime; however, it would not require use of high intensity outdoor lighting. Similarly, the residential buildings on site would require low intensity li ghting for landscaping and lights typical of multi-family residences. Glare can also be expected from building windows during the day and nighttime.

However, lighting and glare levels are not expected to exceed typical levels within the surrounding urban environment. The Project does not propose the use of highly reflective materials in the architectural design. The proposed Project will be designed in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code (Chapter 9.89 Outdoor Lighting Standards)2 and will properly shield light fixtures to minimize spillage onto adjacent properties. The Zoning Ordinance design standards will be incorporated to assure that the Proposed impacts related to long-term lighting would be less than significant.

II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an o ptional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.

In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Depart ment of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment Project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

Environmental Setting

The Project site is designated as Downtown Commercial on the City’s General Plan land use map. The subject property and surrounding lands, with the exception of the Santa Rosa Mountains on the south and southeast, are designated as “Urban and Built Up” on the Riverside County Important Farmland Map (2018). The site is primarily undeveloped. From the 1920s until around 2006, much of the subject property was developed with streets and residential and commercial buildings ; after most of these features were demolished, the site was extensively graded. There are no active agricultural or forest lands within the vicinity of the Project.

Discussion of Impacts

a-e) No Impact.

Prime Farmland: No prime or unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance exists within the Project site or vicinity. The Project site is not located on or near any property zoned or otherwise intended for agricultural uses. As such, the Project would not convert farmland to non- agricultural use. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

Williamson Act: The project site and surrounding properties are designated for urban uses in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. No land on or near the Project site is under a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with any zoning for agricultural uses or a Williamson Act Contract. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

Forest Land: The Project site is located on the desert floor, currently zoned as Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN) and Mixed Use Commercial (MXC) , and surrounded by urban uses and the Santa Rosa Mountains. The subject site does not contain forest land, t imberland or timberland zoned for timberland production. Therefore, the Project would not rezone forest land or timberland as defined by the Public Resources Code and Government Code. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

Mitigation Measures:

None required.

CalEEMod Version 2020.4.0.

Environmental Setting

The Coachella Valley, including the Project site, is located in the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB), which spans part of Riverside County and all of Imperial County. SSAB is characterized by the large -scale sinking and warming of air within the semi -permanent subtropical high-pressure center over the Pacific Ocean. The flat terrain near the Salton Sea creates deep convective thermals during the daytime but equally strong surface-based temperature inversions at night. Once the air enters the valley, it gets trapped and influences the local climate.

SSAB is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Manage ment District (SCAQMD). All development within the SSAB is subject to SCAQMD’s 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (2016 AQMP) and the 2003 Coachella Valley PM 10 State Implementation Plan (2003 CV PM 10 SIP). The SCAQMD operates and maintains regional air qual ity monitoring stations at numerous locations throughout its jurisdiction. The Project site is located within Source Receptor Area (SRA) 30, which includes monitoring stations in Palm Springs and Indio, as well as a newly opened station in the unincorporated community of Thermal.

Criteria air pollutants are contaminants for which state and federal air quality standards have been established. The SSAB exceeds state and federal standards for fugitive dust (PM10) and ozone (O3) and is in attainment/unclassified for PM2.5. Ambient air quality in the SSAB, including the Project site, does not exceed state and federal standards for carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxides, sulfur dioxide, lead, sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, or vinyl chloride.

Discussion of Impacts

a) No Impact. Under CEQA, a significant air quality impact could occur if the project is not consistent with the applicable Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) or would obstruct the implementation of the policies or hinder reaching the goals of that plan. The project site is located within the SSAB and will be subject to SCAQMD’s 2016 AQMP and the 2003 CV PM10 SIP. The 2016 AQMP is a comprehensive plan that establishes control strategies and guidance on regional emission reductions for air pollutants. The AQMP is based, in part, on the land use plans of the jurisdictions in the region. The project site is designated for Downtown Commercial in the General Plan and is zoned for Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN) and Mixed Use Commercial (MXC). The AQMP factored commercial and mixed-use land uses on this site into its Plan. The Project proposes suitable commercial mixed-land uses and is therefore compatible with the 2016 AQMP assumptions.

The SCAQMD works directly with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), county transportation commissions, and local governments, and cooperates actively with all State and federal government agencies. SCAG adopted the 2020 -2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2 020 RTP/SCS) to comply with the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) requirements under the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act. The Growth Management chapter of the RTP/SCS forms the basis of land use and transportation controls of the AQMP. Projects that are consistent with the projections of population forecasts are considered consistent with the AQMP. The proposed Project would be developed in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations contained in those plans in an effort t o meet the applicable air quality standards, because the commercial mixed-land use, including high density residential, and its associated job creation potential were included in the SCAG analysis.

In conclusion, although the proposed Project would contr ibute to impacts to air quality, as discussed below, it would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of an applicable air quality plan because its commercial characteristics were included in the development of regional plans. No impact is anticipated.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. A project is considered to have significant impacts if there is a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state a mbient air quality standard. As previously stated, the SSAB is currently a non-attainment area for PM10 and ozone. Therefore, if the project’s construction and/or operational emissions exceed SCAQMD thresholds for PM 10 and ozone precursors, which include c arbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxides (NOx), and volatile/reactive organic compounds (VOC or ROG), then impacts would be cumulatively considerable and significant.

The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 was used to project air quality emissions that will be generated by the proposed Project (Appendix A). Criteria air pollutants will be released during both the construction and operation phases of the proposed Project, as shown in Tables 2 and 3. Table 2 summarizes short -term construction -related emissions, and Table 3 summarizes ongoing emissions generated during operation.

Construction Emissions:

For purposes of analysis, it is assum ed that construction will occur over a 2 -year period. The construction period includes all aspects of project development, including site preparation, grading, paving, building construction, and application of architectural coatings.

As shown in Table 2, emissions generated by construction activities will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for any criteria pollutant during construction. The data reflect average daily unmitigated emissions over the 2-year construction period, including summer and winter weather conditions.

The analysis assumes a net material export (dirt/soil) of 8,450 cubic yards per preliminary grading calculations dated April 2021. Applicable standard requirements and best management practices include, but are not limited to, the implementatio n of a dust control and management plan in conformance with SCQAMD Rule 403, proper maintenance and limited idling of heavy equipment, phased application of architectural coatings and the use of low -polluting architectural paint and coatings per SCAQMD Rule 1113.

Given that criteria pollutant thresholds will not be exceeded, and standard best management practices will be applied during construction, impacts will be less than significant.

Operational Emissions:

Operational emissions are ongoing emissions that will occur over the life of t he project. They include area source emissions, emissions from energy demand (electricity), and mobile source (vehicle) emissions.

According to the Traffic Report prepared for the proposed Project (Appendix G), the proposed Project will generate approxim ately 7,862 daily trips. Table 3 provides a summary of projected emissions during operation of the proposed Project at build out. As shown below, operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance for any criteria pollutants for operations. Impacts related to operational emissions will be less than significant.

Cumulative Contribution: Non-Attainment Criteria Pollutants A significant impact could occur if the Project would make a considerable cumulative contribution to federal or State non -attainment pollutants. The Coachella Valley portion of the SSAB is classified as a “non-attainment” area for PM 10 and ozone. Cumulative air quality analysis is evaluated on a regional scale (rather than a neighborhood scale or city scale, for example) given the dispersing nature of pollutant emissions and aggregate impacts from surrounding jurisdictions and air management districts. Any development project or activity resulting in emissions of PM10, ozone, or ozone precursors will contribute, to some degree, to regional non -attainment designations of ozone and PM10.

The SCAQMD does not currently recommend quantified analyses of construction and/or operational emissions from multiple development projects, nor does it provide methodologies or thresholds of significance to be used to assess the significance of cumulative emissions generated by multiple cumulative projec ts. However, it is recommended that a project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts should be assessed utilizing the same significance criteria as those for project-specific impacts. Furthermore, SCAQMD states that if an individual development project generates less than significant construction or operational emissions, then the development project would not generate a cumulatively considerable increase in emissions for those pollutants for which the Basin is in nonattainment.

As shown in the tab les above, Project-related PM10, CO, NO x, and ROG emissions are projected to be below established SCAQMD thresholds. Emissions will be further reduced through required best management practices, which require implementation of a Dust Control Plan in accord ance with SCAQMD Rule 403.1. Therefore, the proposed Project will result in incremental, but not cumulatively considerable impacts on regional PM10 or ozone levels.

Summary
As shown above, both construction and operation of the proposed Project will result in criteria emissions that are below the SCAQMD significance thresholds, and neither would violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Overall, impacts related to construction and operation will be less than significant and are not cumulatively considerable from a non-attainment standpoint.

c) Less Than Significant Impact . The nearest sensitive receptors are residents in the residential neighborhood located immediately west and south of the Project site. To determine if the proposed Project has the potential to generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts, the mass rate Localized Significance Threshold (LST) Look-Up Table was used.

Analysis of LSTs by a local government is voluntary and is designed for projects that are less than or equal to five acres. The maximum area of disturbance associated with buildout of the proposed Project is approximately 13.93 acres, and it is assumed that buildout would occur over the course of two years. Although the total Project area is greater than five acres, the area of daily disturbance (for purposes of LST analysis only) is limited to five acres or less per day at any given location.

As such, the five-acre look up table is appropriate unde r the SCAQMD’s methodology to screen for potential localized air quality impacts. 3 Based on the Project’s proximity to existing housing, the 5-acre site tables at a distance of 25 meters (nearest measurement option in LST table) were used for LST analysis. Table 4 shows on-site emission concentrations for Project construction and operation will not exceed LST thresholds. Overall, the impacts will be less than significant.

Health Impacts
As shown in Tables 2 and 3, construction and operation of the proposed Project will result in criteria emissions that are below the SCAQMD significance thresholds, and neither would violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation.

With today’s technology, it is not scientifically possible to calculate the degree to which exposure to various levels of criteria pollutant emissions will impact an individual’s health. There are several factors that make predicting a Project-specific numerical impact difficult:

• Not all individuals will be affected equally due to medical history. Some may have medical pre-dispositions and diet and exercise levels tend to vary across a population. • Due to the dispersing nature of pollutants it is difficult to locate and identify which group of individuals will be impacted, either directly or indirectly. • There are currently no approved methodologies or studies to base assumptions on, such as baseline health levels or emission level-to-health risk ratios.

Due to the limitations described above , the extent to which the Project poses a health risk is uncertain but unavoidable. It is anticipated that impacts associated with all criteria pollutants will be less than significant overall, and that health effects will also be less than significant.

d) Less Than Significant Impact. The occurrence and severity of odor impacts depend on numerous factors, including the nature, frequency, and intensity of the source; wind speed and direction; and the sensitivity of the receptors. While offensive odors rarely cause any physical harm, they still can be very unpleasant, leading to distress among the public and often generating citizen complaints to local governments and regulatory agencies.

The SCAQMD identifies certain land uses as sources of odors. These land uses include agriculture (farming and livestock), wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting facilities, refineries, landfills, transfer stations, and fiberglass molding. The proposed Project will be developed with a mix of commercial and residential uses and is not expected to generate objectionable odors during any phase of construction or at Project buildout. Short term odors associated with paving and construction activities could be generated; however, any such odors would be quickly dispersed below detectable levels as distance from the construction site increases and would occur for short time periods during construction only. The proposed Project proposes restaurants and a gas station, which would involve food p reparation and gasoline pumping activities. Restaurants could result in cooking exhaust, smoke, and related food waste.

The on -site restaurants would be required by law to provide a hood system that consists of particulate filtration for smoke, gas filtration for gases/odors, and a blower to move the air into the hood, through the air cleaning equipment, and then outdoors. Gasoline pumping does generate odors, but pumping equipment is prescribed to include fume control, and any gasoline station on the Project site would be required to comply with these laws.

At buildout, residential units will generate typical odors, including cooking odor, but will not generate objectionable odors. Therefore, impacts from objectionable odors are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: None required.

Monitoring: None required.

Environmental Setting

The City of Cathedral City and the Coachella Valley are located in the Colorado subunit of the Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran Desert supports a wide range of biological resources that are highly specialized and endemic to the region. Valley floor habitat convers much of Cathedral City and the central Coachella Valley. It is characterized by low -lying, relatively flat terrain with sparse vegetation and sand deposits that originated from the erosion of adjacent hills and have been transported by strong winds. It can contain “active” sand dunes in which the continuous process of sand accumulation, depletion, and shifting occurs, uninterrupted by windbreaks or other impediments.

In Cathedral City, active sand transport systems are found in the Willow Hole -Edom Hill Preserve north of Interstate 10 . Historically, they also occurred near the Whitewater River floodplain; however, urban development has restricted sand movement in this area, resulting in a loss of habitat. The valley floor can

Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 35
also contain “stabilized” and “partially stabilized” sand fields that lack the structure of sand dunes and contain more vegetation than active sand dunes, including creosote bush (Larrea tridentate), sand verbena, and burrobush (Oenothera deltoides). Within Cathedral City south of Interstate 10, including the Project area, valley floor habitat has been largely fragmented, disturbed, and replaced by development.

A wide range of significant biological resources can be found in u ndeveloped portions of the City of Cathedral City. Four (4) special-status plant species and f orty-four (44) special-status wildlife species occur or potentially occur in the City. Due to the loss of viable habitat , some of these species have been listed as threatened or endangered by the federal and state governments. The City is within the boundaries of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan /Natural Community Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP/NCCP), a comprehensive conservation plan encompassing approximately 1,136,400 acres in the Coachella valley. The City of Cathedral City is a Permittee to the CVMSHCP/NCCP and, as such, is subject to its provisions.

The subject property is surrounded by urban development , except for the Santa Rosa Mountains on the southeast which are characterized by Sonoran creosote brush scrub community. From the 1920s until 2016, the subject property was developed with streets and residential and commercial buildings that have since been demolished. Since then, it has been extensively graded and is now vacant, other than the northwest portion of the site that is developed with a paved street and parking. The only vegetation on the balance of the site is sparse regrowth of annual plants and scrubs.

Discussion of Impacts

a) Less Than Significant with Mitigation. With the exception of the parking lot on the northwest corner of the site, t he site is mostly undeveloped but was once heavily disturbed by streets and residential and commercial development (that have since been demolished) an d subsequent grading activities. Vegetation coverage is generally sparse with regrowth of shrubs and herbaceous plants. The surface soil on the subject site is predominantly Carsitas gravelly sand (CdC, 0 to 9 percent slopes) and Carsitas cobbly sand (ChC, 2 to 9 percent slopes), both excessively drained.

The site is surrounded by urban development on the north, south, and west, and the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel on the southeast. The channel is fenced on the subject property side with a ±6-foot high wire mesh fence and it separates the subject property and the slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Therefore, due to its isolation from the Santa Rosa Mountains and other open spaces and the disturbed nature of vegetation and soils, the Project site has a very low to low potential to harbor sensitive wildlife species.

Burrowing owl is a State species of special concern that resides in open dry grasslands and desert areas. Since the site is currently vacant and covered sparsely with vegetation, t here is a very low potential for burrowing owl to occur onsite. The CVMSHCP and State law prohibit the take of burrowing owl. Should burrowing owl be found on the property prior to construction, a significant impact would occur. In order to assure that this impact is mitigated, Mitigation Measure BIO-1 is provided below, which requires pre-construction surveys to assure that the species is not present, or to protect the species should it be identified on -site. With implementation of this mitigation measure, impacts to burrowing owls will be less than significant.

The existing vegetation on and adjacent to the property would have the potential to provide nesting opportunities for birds covered under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). As the subject site is vacant, these species would reside seasonally within the subject site. Nesting activities would occur between January and August of any year. Under the provisions of the MBTA, impacts to

Packet Pg. 470
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 36
covered nesting birds would be considered a significant impact. In order to assure that impacts to bird nests covered under the MBTA are reduced to less than significant levels, a pre -construction survey is required if any activity to remove vegetation is proposed during the nesting season, as provided in Mitigation Measu re BIO-2, below. With implementation of this mitigation measure, impacts to birds covered by the MBTA will be less than significant.

b) No Impact. The Project site does not contain any riparian habitat or sensitive natural communities protected by local plans, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The site is surrounded by urban development, as well as the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel on the southeast boundary . The channel is fenced (approximately 6’ tall) on the subject property side below the levee . Onsite soils have been disturbed by previous grading activity, and onsite vegetation is limited to only sparse annual regrowth. No Project-related impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required

c) No Impact. The Project site is located inland and does not contain any streams, marshes, protected wetlands, or vernal pools protected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel adjacent to the southeast boundary of the Project site is fenced on the subject property side below the levee , and Project- generated runoff will be managed onsite with no drainage entering the channel. No Project-related impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

d) No Impact. The subject property is surrounded by roadways and urban development on three sides and separated from the Santa Rosa Mountains by the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel. The Channel is separated from the subject property with a welded wire mesh fence on the property side (approximately 6’ tall) along the entire length of the southeast property boundary.

The property was previously developed with streets and residential and commercial development beginning in the 1920s; nearly all improvements were demolished by 2006, indicating that historically the site did not serve as an important wildlife migratory corridor or nursery site due to urban development . Although currently largely vacant, it is unsuitable for use as a migratory wildlife corridor or nursery site due to surrounding urban development, previous onsite grading, and separation from the mountains by the flood control channel. No impact is anticipated.

e, f) Less Than Significant Impact . The subject property does not contain any biological resources that are protected by a local policy or ordinance, such as a tree preservation ordinance. The subject property is located within the boundaries of the CVMSHCP but is outside the boundaries of a ny of the Plan’s Conservation Areas. The Project involves l ands not developed prior to 1996 , and therefore, the developer will be required to pay the Local Development Mitigation Fee to mitigate impacts to covered species. The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP -designated Conservation Area; the nearest conservation area is the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area, approximately 0.78 miles to the southeast.

The proposed Project is located in the City of Cathedral City, whi ch is within the boundaries of the CVMSHCP, and is therefore subject to payment of the Development Mitigation Fee, which will mitigate potential impacts to covered species. The site is not within or adjacent to a CVMSHCP-designated Conservation Area, so no additional mitigation measures or provisions are required. The Project will not conflict with any policies or ordinances that protect biological species, or any habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans. Impacts are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

BIO-1 A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre -construction burrowing owl surveys onsite. The first shall occur between 14 and 30 days prior to ground disturbance, and the second shall occur within 24 hours of ground disturbance. If burrowing owls are detected, the project proponent shall consult with CDFW to determine what course of action is needed, such as the use of exclusion devices (if applicable) to discourage owls from using burrows that are believed to be in jeopardy of being impacted by implementation of the project.

BIO-2 For any grubbing, grading or other site disturbance or tree or vegetation removal occurring during the nesting season between January 15 th and August 31 st, a qualified biologist shall conduct at least one nesting bird survey, and more if deemed necessary by the consulting biologist, immediately prior to initiation of project -related ground disturbing activities. If nesting birds are present, no work shall be permitted near the nest(s) until the young birds have fledged. While there is no established protocol for nest avoidance, when consulted, the CDFW generally recommends avoidance buffers of about 500 feet for birds -of-prey, and 100 – 300 feet for songbirds. If ground disturbance occurs outside the nesting season, this requirement shall be waived.

Mitigation Monitoring:

BIO-A Prior to the issuance of any permit to allow ground disturbance on the site, the Project Proponent shall furnish the City with pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl and MBTA covered birds.

Environmental Setting

The City of Cathedral City is located in the Coachella Valley where the Cahuilla Indians settled centuries ago. The Cahuilla Indians were a Takic-speaking people of hunters and gatherers generally divided into three groups by geographic setting: the Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass – Palm Springs area; the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains and the Cahuilla Valley; and the Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley.

The City of Cathedral City is within the vast traditional lands of the local Cahuilla Indian tribes. In the Coachella Valley, the Cahuilla typically lived in camps of between 75 and 100 individuals, along the lower edges of alluvial fans near permanent sources of water, food and fiber. One such camp was the Palm Oasis at modern-day Thousand Palms, along the fault scarp where diked groundwater rises to the surface to support several palm groves (Washingtonia filifera).

The subject property is located near foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains and is not known to have been a source of water or ethnobotanical resources (such as mesquite, palms, or reeds), habitation sites, trails, or pot-drops. According to the City’s General Plan, only one prehistoric site has been recorded into the California Historical Resource Information System and six locations within close proximity have been identified by Cahuilla cultural authorities to be of potential significance; none of these resources are within or near the Project area.

In 1925, the City of Cathedral City was founded by four developers to provide affordable low-to moderate- income housing. The downtown commercial district generally developed along the newly paved present- day East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) after 1927. The city experienced rapid growth in the 1940s and the early 1950s and served as a bedroom community to military installations during World War II .

Additional growth occurred as a result of residents from the Los Angeles basin claim ing local five-acre parcels under the “Baby Homestead Act .” The post-war boom also contributed to the population and economic growth and eventually led to the City’s incorporation as the 18 th city in Riverside County in 1981.

The Project area was included in a countywide historical resources reconnaissance in the 1980s, which identified a total of 29 resources consisting primarily of buildings constructed between 1925 and the 1970s and a short segment of A Street. All these buildings have been demolished as of 2016. An historical/archaeological resources survey and assessment has been conducted on the subject development site and is discussed below.

Discussion of Impacts

a, b) Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated . Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines defines a historic resource as a resource that is: (1) listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register); (2) included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code); or (3) identified as significant in an historical resources survey (meeting the criteri a in Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code). Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register. The California Register automatic ally includes all properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and those formally determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register.

Section 15064.5(a)(3)(D) of the CEQA Guidelines defines archaeological resources as any resource that “has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.” Archaeological resources are features, such as tools, utensils, carvings, fabric, building foundations, etc., that document evidence of past human endeavors and that may be historically or culturally important to a significant earlier community.

In conjunction with previously proposed development projects and the currently proposed Project, qualified professional archaeologists conducted historical/archaeological resources record searches and historical background research on the subject property in 2003, 2015, and 2019. As part of the assessments, records searches were conducted at the Eastern Information Center (EIC).

The 2019 analysis includes references to comprehensive records searches for adjacent properties provided by the EI C, and Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR) (Appendix B). In addition, CRM TECH conducted independent historical research and an on-site field survey.

Eastern Information Center (EIC) Record’s Search
A CRM TECH archaeologist conducted a cultural resources records search on November 19, 2019, at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) University of California, Riverside. The 2003 and 2015 surveys mentioned above remain the only systematic Phase I surveys to include any portion of the project area . A total of 29 cultural resources were recorded during and 1980’s his torical reconnaissance, including buildings buil t between 1925 and circa 1970. Of the 29 cultural resources recorded, the 2015 study found 28 of the 29 recorded resources were determined not to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic P laces and/or the California Register of Historical Resources . The remaining resource had not be en formally evaluated, however the structure was demolished prior to the 2003 and 2015 surveys. By 2015, only two commercial buildings remained intact within the Project area; a 1946-1947 commercial building at 68-791/68- 805 East Palm Canyon Drive and a 1970’s commercial building at 68 -823 East Palm Canyon Drive. The building located at 68-823 East Palm Canyon Drive, was recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory at the time of the 2003 survey, as was the segment of A Street between Van Fleet Avenue and East Palm Canyon Drive (Site 33-026845).

July 2022 40

The EIC records search also identified 46 additional historical/archaeological sites located outside of the project area, but within the one-mile radius. Five (5) of those sites were prehistoric with the nearest site located approximately a half -mile south of the project area. None of these additional sites were found in the immediate vicinity of the project area, and thus none of them require any further consideration.

Historical Record Search
Review of recent and historical aerial photographs found that most of the buildings previously recorded in project area were demolished sporadically, with most of the buildings removed by 2006. The two commercial buildings (discussed above) were the only remaining structures at that time, however both of these structures were removed sometime between February and July of 2006. Since then, the entire project area has been vacant and undeveloped , with the exception of the 300-foot segment of asphalt (A Street).

Field Inspection
A field survey of the Project site was conducted in November 2021 by a CRM Tech archaeologist.

The 300-foot-long segment of A Street between Van Fleet Avenue and East Palm Canyon Drive was found to be the only potential cultural resource in the project area. According to the 2015 study, this segment of A Street is not likely to yield additional information important in local, regional, or national history and fails to meet any of the four criteria used for determining eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources. CRM Tech concurred with the conclusion of the 2015 evaluation that the A Street segment was not historically significant and requires no further study or formal evaluation.

Native American Consultation
The City is currently undertaking Tribal Consultation in conformance with the requirements of AB

52. One tribe, the Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, requested consultation and provided input on potential impacts, which are included in the mitigation measures to this Initial Study. See Section XVIII, Tribal Cultural Resources.

Summary:

CRM TECH concurred with the conclusion of the 2015 evaluation that the A Street segment (Site 33-026845) was not historically significant under CEQA and requires no further study or for mal evaluation. To protect the potential cultural or archaeological resources on the site and to reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 is included at the end of this section, consistent with the findings of the cultural resource investigation, and concerns of the Tribes. The mitigation measure requires the presence of archaeological and Native American monitors during earth moving activities, to assure that subsurface resources are identified and protected during the grading and excavation of the proposed Project. With the implementation of this mitigation measure, potential impacts associated with archaeological resources will be reduced to less than significant levels.

c) No Impact. No cemeteries or human remains are known to occur on-site. It is unlikely that human remains will be uncovered during project development. Should human remains be uncovered during grading of the site, California law requires that all activity stop, that the coroner be notified, that he or she determine the nature of the remains, and whether Native American consultation will be required. This requirement of law assures that there will be no impact to cemeteries or human remains.

Mitigation Measures:

CUL-1 Earth-moving activities including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site shall be monitored by a qualified archaeologist and approved Tribal Monitor(s).

Should cultural materials be discovered, they shall be recorded and evaluated in the field. The monitors shall be prepared to recover artifacts quickly to avoid construction delays but must have the power to temporarily halt or divert construction equipment to allow for controlled archaeological recovery if a substantial cultural deposit is encountered. The Native American Monitor may request that destructive construction halt and the Monitor shall notify a Qualified Archaeologist (Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines) to investigate and, if necessary, prepare a mitigation plan for subm ission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office. If artifacts are discovered, these shall be processed, catalogued, analyzed, and prepared for permanent curation in a repository with permanent ret rievable storage that would allow for additional research in the future.

Archaeological site records shall be prepared to document the cultural remains discovered during monitoring and submitted to the California Historical Resources Information System.

Monitoring:

CUL-A Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for the site, the applicant shall provide a fully executed Tribal monitoring agreement (if requested) to the City.

Responsible Parties: Project applicant, Planning Department, City Engineer.

CUL-B Within 30 days of the completion of ground disturbing activities on the project site, a report of findings shall be filed with the City. The report will summarize the methods and results of the monitoring program, including an itemized inventory and a detailed analysis of recovered artifacts, upon completion of the field and laboratory work. The report should include an interpretation of the cultural activities represented by the artifacts and a discussion of the significance of all archaeological finds.

Environmental Setting

Primary energy sources include fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) , nuclear energy, and renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower. Southern California Edison (SCE) provides electric services to the City of Cathedral City. Currently, SCE serves approximately 4.4 million residential service accounts and 520,000 commercial service accounts , which use up to 69% of the electricity generated by SCE in its service area . 4 Natural gas is provided to Cathedral City by the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). Its service territory encompasses approximately 2 4,000 square miles in Central and Southern California, from the City of Visalia to the Mexican border.5

Both SCE and SoCalGas have existing underground utilities along East Palm Canyon Drive

Discussion of Impacts

a, b) Less Than Significant Impact. Energy resources would be utilized during both construction and operational activities. Construction related energy demand comes from the operation of construction equipment and the manufacturing of construction materials. Fuel consumed by construction equipment, such as petroleum and diesel, would be the primary energy resource expended over the course of construction. However, petroleum and diesel use during construction would be temporary and minimal and would not be wasteful or inefficient

Operational energy demand primarily comes from building/site lighting, HVAC systems. All residential units and commercial structures will be constructed in accordance with the Building Code, California Green Building Code, and Energy Code in effect at the time that development occurs, to ensure the most efficient construction/building technologies are used, which will benefit overall building operations, ensure energy efficiency and reduce wasteful and unnecessary consumption of energy resources. These requirements of law assure that future buildings on the site will not waste energy.

Operation would also result in the consumption of petroleum-based fuels related to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. Although the Project will result in a direct increase in City VMTs, the Project will not interfere with increased fuel efficiency standards and will not result in wasteful,

inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of transportation energy resources during operation. The Project proposes a mixed-use development that places multi-family residential within a half-mile to commercial uses, transit, and employment opportunities which reduces vehicle trips, trip length and the consumption of fuel. Impacts were determined to be less than significant.

SCE is committed to promoting renewable energy generation for its own operations and throughout the State and local communities . In 2019, about 48% of the power delivered to SCE customers came from carbon-free sources.6 SCE’s Pathway 2045 provides a roadmap to achieving statewide carbon neutrality that requires decarbonization of the State’s economy, including the electric sector, natural gas and low -carbon fuels, transportation, and building construction and operation efficiencies. 7 SoCalGas is also committed to energy and climate sustainability and investing in a diverse portfolio of technologies and applications to decarbonize, including the use of cleaner fuels like renewable natural gas. SoCalGas aspires to achieve net zero GHG emissions in both operations and delivery of energy by 2045.

The City’s Climate Action Plan also promotes local generation of renewable energy. The Project will comply with the solar and zero net energy r equirements in the adopted 2019 California Building Code and will not interfere with any state or local plan that promotes renewable energy or energy efficiency. Adherence to the applicable state standards enforced by SCE and SoCalGas will ensure the devel opment is consistent with current energy standards and conservation goals laid out in the City’s Climate Action Plan. Therefore, impacts related to energy will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting

Geologic Setting
The Project is located in the City of Cathedral City which is part of the Coachella Valley. The geology and seismicity of the Coachella Valley is primarily influenced by the tectonics of the San Andrea and San Jacinto fault systems. The San Andreas Fault i s a continental transform fault that extends roughly 750 miles through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal). The San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ) is a major

strike-slip fault zone that runs through San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial Counties in Southern California. The SJFZ is a component of the larger San Andreas transform system and is considered to be the most seismically active fault zone in the area.

The Coachella Valley is located in the northwestern portion of the Salton Trough which is bounded by the San Bernardino Mountains on the northwest, San Jacinto Mountains on the west, Santa Rosa Mountains on the south, and Little San Bernardino Mountains and Indio Hills on the northeast. Regional soils range from rocky outcrops within the mountains bordering the valley to coarse gravels of mountain canyons and recently laid fine- and medium-grained alluvial (stream deposited) and aeolian (wind deposited) sediments on the central valley floor. Episodic flooding of major regional drainages, including the Whitewater River, results in the deposition of sand and gravel on the valley floor. Strong sustained winds emanating from the San Gorgonio Pass cause wind erosion and transport and deposit dry, finely granulated, sandy soils on the central valley floor. The base of the Santa Rosa Mountains consists of alluvial and stream -washed deposits, which are coarse sands and gravels.

Paleontological Resources
Paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of prehistoric animals and plants, created more than 12,000 years ago in the Pleistocene era. Fossils are usually buried resources, and often cannot be identified on the surface. A relatively thick sequence (20,000 feet) of sediment has been deposited in the Coachella Valley portion of the Salton Trough from the Miocene era to present times. These sediments are predominantly terrestrial in nature with some lacustrine (lake) and minor ma rine deposits. The major contributor of these sediments has been the Colorado River. The mountains surrounding the Coachella Valley are composed primarily of Precambrian metamorphic and Mesozoic "granitic" rock. According to the Riverside County General Pl an, the City and Project site contain recent alluvium soils which have a low potential to contain significant paleontological resources.8

Discussion of Impacts

a.i) No Impact. The subject property is not located within or adjacent to an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The nearest earthquake fault is the Banning fault of the San Andreas Fault Zone, approximately 6.4 miles northeast of the site. This active fault is capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude 7.4. There are no active faults in the vicinity of the subject property. Fault rupture is not expected on the project site because it does not occur on any of these faults. No impact is anticipated.

a.ii) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is located in a seismically active region where earthquakes originating on local and regional seismic faults can produce severe ground shaking.

Buildings proposed for the site will be required to conform to the most recent edition of the California Building Code (CBC) to provide collapse-resistant design. These building standards are designed to minimize the catastrophic failure of buildings, thereby lowering the potential impacts to life and property. According to the CBC, Site Class D may be used to estimate design seismic loading for the proposed structures. As a result of these standards, Project -related impacts associated with seismic ground shaking will be less than significant.

a.iii) No Impact. According to the Cathedral City General Plan (Exhibit S-5), the Project site is located in an area that has a low to very low liquefaction susceptibility. According to the Project -specific geotechnical report (Appendix D), the Project area is classified as a moderate liquefaction potential zone by the Riverside County Office of Information Technology GIS website; however, based on the groundwater depth and relatively dense soil conditions, the liquefaction potential of the site is considered to be low. Onsi te underlying soils within the depth of 51 1/2 feet consist of medium dense to very dense gravelly, silty sand; sandy, silty gravel; poorly graded sand; and well -graded sand, based on onsite borings in the geotechnical report. The highest groundwater was me asured to be 192 feet below ground surface from the adjacent property located at 69010 East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), and the historically highest groundwater is estimated to be at a depth of at least 100 feet below ground surface at the Project sit e. Therefore, the sand in this region is not prone to liquefaction under severe ground shaking conditions. No impact is anticipated.

a.iv) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site consists of and is surrounded by gently sloping land and relatively flat terrain with the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel to the southeast. The channel is fenced on the subject property side outside the levee. The nearest hillsides are the Santa Rosa Mountains beyond the channel southeast of the property.

According to the Cathedral City General Plan (Exhibit S-2), the easterly portion of the subject property has a moderate susceptibility to seismically induced landslides and rock fall. However, the Project -specific geotechnical analysis determined that there are no known or potential landslides at the subject property, and the property has a less than 5% sloping grade and is more than ½ mile from the nearest significant topographic change. Therefore, the landslide and slope instability risk onsite is very low. Impacts are less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. Development of the Project site has the potential to result in the erosion of soils during site preparation, grading, and building construction. The subject property is moderately susceptible to wind erosion according to the Cathedral City General Plan (Exhibit V-2). Based on soil boring logs for the site, surface soils consist predominantly of medium dense to very dense gravelly, silty sand; sandy, silty gravel; poorly graded sand; an d well-graded sand.

Soils of this composition and consistency are prone to wind and water erosion. The site is essentially flat, thus minimizing the potential for water erosion. The site will be mostly covered by buildings, pavement or landscaping at build out, minimizing long-term wind erosion potential.

Grading and construction may require removal of the topsoil; however, they would occur in accordance with erosion control requirements, including grading and dust control measures imposed by the City pursuant to grading permit regulations , including adherence to SCAQMD Rule 403.1, that requires a fugitive dust control plan . Specifically, Project construction would be required to comply with the City’s Municipal Code, including submittal and ap proval of grading permits, site and building plans, and inspections to ensure that the Project does not generate excessive soil erosion. In addition, the Project will be required to prepare a Project-specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) (See Secti on X, Hydrology and Water Quality). As part of the WQMP, Best Management Practices (BMPs) would be implemented during grading and construction to reduce sedimentation and soil erosion to the maximum extent practicable.

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

c) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The site is undeveloped, and grading will be conducted in compliance with City’s standards. According to the geotechnical report, onsite underlying soils consist of medium dense to very dense gravelly, silty sand; sandy, silty gravel;

5.A.e
Packet Pg. 481
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 47
poorly graded sand; and well-graded sand. One of the primary geotechnical constraints identified in the geotechnical investigation is the presence of potentially compressible (collapsible) near - surface soils.

A “Geotechnical Engineering Investigation” report (SALEM Engineering Grou p, Inc., October 2019. See Appendix D ) was prepared for Phase I (commercial/retail portion of) the proposed Project and Project site which provided recommendations for the excavation of that site prior to construction, including moisture conditioning and recompaction. Assuming the recommendations for grading included in the geotech nical report are followed during Phase I construction, the site is not susceptible to on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, liquefaction, or collapse due to the distance from nearest significant topographic change in the Santa Rosa Mountain foothil ls, and depth of the groundwater. It should be noted that recommendations presented in this report should not be used for the residential phase of development due to the lack of subsurface soil data, and additional geotechnical soil investigations are req uired for the development of the residential portion of the site (see Mitigation Measure GEO -1 for geotechnical report recommendations).

These recommendations shall be integrated into grading and building plans that the City will review and approve prior t o the issuance of grading and building permits, which will assure that impacts associated with soils remain less than significant.

d) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. Expansive soils typically contain large amounts of clay that expands when water is absorbed and shrinks when it dries. As described in Section VII.a.iii, above, the site’s underlying soils consist of medium dense to very dense gravelly, silty sand; sandy, silty gravel; poorly graded sand; and well -graded sand. The Proj ect- specific geotechnical report determined that onsite soils samples collected from surface to the proposed foundation depths are considered to have a very low expansion potential. The geotechnical report includes numerous site preparation recommendations that the Project should implement to assure these geotechnical issues are appropriately addressed, including removal and recompaction of collapsible or weak soils during the grading phase. Adherence to these recommendations (see Mitigation Measure GEO -1) will ensure impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.

e) No Impact. The Project area is readily served by sewage infrastructure as the City passed ordinances and completed projects to eliminate septic tanks in the last two decades, despite that previous development onsite utilized septic tanks (Salem Engineering Group, October 17, 2019).

The CVWD Cook Street plant will receive and treat sewage discharged into its collection system through DWA infrastructure in the Project area. The Project would no t require the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems or result in impacts related to the ability of soils to support septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

f) Less Than Significant Impact. Paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of organisms that lived in a region in the geologic past and whose remains are found in the accompanying geologic strata. This type of fossil record represents the primary source of information on ancient life forms, most of which are now extinct. The Project site is not known to contain unique paleontological features. Also, there are no unique geological features (rivers, lakes, hills, faults, folds, etc.) located onsite that would directly or indirectly be destroyed by the proposed Project.

The surface soils consist of recently deposited alluvial sand and gravel that are not conducive to the location of paleontological resources.

Environmental Setting

Air quality has become an increasing concern because of human health issues, but also because greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to global warming and climate change. The primary contributor to greenhouse gas emissions is the burning of fossil fuels through the use of automobiles, power and heat generators, and industrial processes.

The principal greenhouse gases (GHGs) include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O 3), and water vapor (H 2O), which are generated by both mobile and stationary sources, including vehicles, electricity and natural gas consumption, and emissions associated with water pumping and application of fertilizers.

The State of California has taken a leadin g role to curb GHG emissions and has developed laws and regulations to reduce these emissions. State legislation and regulations call for better integrated land use planning and curtailing energy production away from nonrenewable sources and toward new ren ewable sources, such as solar and wind. California SB 375 in part implements greenhouse gas reduction targets set forth in AB 32 and encourages regional land use planning to reduce vehicle miles traveled; it also requires jurisdictions to adopt a sustainab le communities strategy. The California Air Resources Board continues to draft regulations to implement the Scoping Plan. Senate Bill 350 requires that, by the year 2020, 50% of the electricity used in California is from renewables to help reduce statewide GHG emissions.

State law mandates that all cities decrease their GHG emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Executive Order B-30-15 set an interim target goal of reducing GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 to keep California on its trajec tory toward meeting or exceeding the long -term goal of reducing GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, as set forth in Executive Order S-3-05.

Cathedral City Climate Action Plan, Energy Action Plan, and GHG Inventory The City of Cathedral City completed its first Climate Action Plan in May 2013 in an effort to address climate change at the local level by reducing greenhouse gas emissions within its own operations and within the overall community. The Climate Action Plan provides a framework for th e development and implementation of policies and programs that will reduce the City’s emissions and is tracked via the City’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory. In addition to the Climate Action Plan, the City prepared an Energy Action Plan (2013) to identify opportunities for cost savings through energy efficiency and actions necessary to meet the City’s future energy needs, consistent with the energy policies set forth by the State of California.

In 2010 (baseline year), Cathedral City was over its 1990 baseline emissions value by 53,439 tonnes (236,863 tonnes). With growth predicted to exceed 19% between 2010 and 2020, “business as usual” conditions could reach 239,333 tonnes by 2020. To achieve the AB 32 target by 2020, Cathedral City would have to cut GHG emissions by 23.4%, or 55,909 tonnes for a total of 183,424 tonnes.

The following is a summary of major findings in the 2013 Greenhouse Gas Inventory:

• Communitywide emissions in 2010, using guidelines approved by the California Air Resources Board, total 236,863 tonnes CO2e.
• This level is 29.1% above 1990 target levels referenced in AB 32—183,424 tonnes CO2e. • The municipal contribution to the community’s emissions footprint is 1.3%, or 3,104 tonnes CO2e. • Electricity—predominantly used for air conditioning —is r esponsible for 39.9% of the community’s emissions.
• At 4.6 tonnes per capita, Cathedral City has low emissions relative to its neighboring cities. • Cathedral City’s transportation emissions are high relative to neighboring cities due to a larger segment of East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111).
• The per capita regional transportation emissions value of 2.8 tonnes CO2, when added to City emissions, puts Cathedral City’s total emissions per capita at 7.4 tonnes CO2e.

GHG Thresholds
On December 5, 2008, the SCAQMD formally adopted a greenhouse gas significance threshold of 10,000 MTCO2e/yr that only applies to industrial uses’ stationary sources where SCAQMD is the lead agency (SCAQMD Resolution No. 08-35). This threshold was adopted based upon an October 2008 staff report and draft interim guidance document that also recommended a threshold for all projects using a tiered approach.

It was recommended by SCAQMD staff that a project’s greenhouse gas emissions would be considered significant if it could not comply with at least one of the following “tiered” tests:

• Tier 1: Is there an applicable exemption?
• Tier 2: Is the project compliant with a greenhouse gas reduction plan that is, at a minimum, consistent with the goals of AB 32?
• Tier 3: Is the project below an absolute threshold (10,000 MTCO2e/year for industrial projects; 3,000 MTCO2e/year for residential and commercial projects)? • Tier 4: Is the project below a (yet to be set) performance threshold? • Tier 5: Would the project achieve a screening level with off-site mitigation?

a, b) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will generate GHG emissions during both construction and operation. As described in Section III, Air Quality, above, the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 was used to quantify air quality emission projections, including greenhouse gas emissions (Appendix A).

Construction
Construction activities will result in short -term GHG emissions associated with operation of construction equipment, employee commute, material hauling, and other ground disturbing activities. As shown in Table 5, the project will generate 592.13 CO2e metric tons during the 2 -

5.A.e

year construction period. There are currently no construction-related GHG emission thresholds for projects of this nature. To determine if construction emissions will result in a cumul atively considerable impact, buildout GHG emissions were amortized over a 30-year period and added to annual operational emissions to be compared to applicable GHG thresholds (see Table 5, below).

Operation
At buildout, there are five emission source ca tegories that will be contributing either directly or indirectly to operational GHG emissions, including energy/electricity usage, water usage, solid waste disposal, area emissions (pavement and architectural coating off -gassing), and mobile sources. Table 5 provides a summary of the projected short -term construction and annual operational GHG generation associated with buildout of the proposed Project.

According to the SCAQMD’s recommended threshold Tier 2, a project would have a less than significant impact if it would be consistent with an approved plan for the reduction of GHG. At the time of this analysis, the City’s GHG Inventory has not been updated to include current GHG emissions or City -specific 2030 and 2050 targets. In November 2017, CARB releas ed the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan that not only discusses the 2030 targets, but how to substantially advance toward the State’s 2050 climate goal to reduce GHG emissions by 80 percent below 1990 levels. To be consistent with statewide targets for 2030, CARB recommends a 6 .0 MTCO2e per capita emission rate to be in compliance with AB 32. 9 As shown in Table 5, the Project’s anticipated population increase of 616 persons would result in a per capita emission rate of 5.8 MTCO2e, and is therefore consistent with the state approved scoping plan for reducing GHGs.

Consistency with Local GHG Reduction Measures
The city adopted a CAP in 2013 that outlines a course of action to reduce municipal and communitywide GHG emissions that contribute to climate change. The CAP sets forth 77 reduction measures that cover seven spheres of daily activity – live, work, build, mobility, govern, recreate, learn – that represents 56,087 tonnes of annual CO2e savings, over the required 55,909 tonnes to reach compliance with AB 32 2020 levels. If the project is not consistent with the CAP measures or if the measures are not otherwise b inding, they must be incorporated as mitigation measures applicable to the project. Table 6 compares the proposed Project with the applicable CAP measures. As shown in the table, the proposed Project would implement applicable GHG reduction measures and therefore would be consistent with the CAP. It should be noted that the majority of reduction measures provided in the CAP are dependent on third party actions, including the City and utility companies. Nevertheless, the proposed Project will be constructed in conformance with the 2019 California Building Code, which sets for stringent energy efficiency requirements and standards for new development that support the goals of the Statewide GHG reduction plans.

Therefore, the Project is considered consistent with local and state GHG reduction measures, and impacts would be less than significant and mitigation would not be required.

Conclusion Summary
The City’s CAP and General Plan support and are consistent with the CARB 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan and SCAG’s 2020 RTP/SCS (also see Section III Air Quality) . All components of construction and operation, including equipment, fuels, materials, and management practices, would be subject to the CAP, GPU policies, and current SCAQMD rules and regulations related to greenhouse gases, as discussed above. Based on these findings, the proposed Project will not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation with the purpose of reducing GHG emissions and impacts will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting

The proper management of hazardous materials is a common concern for all communities within the Coachella Valley. Beginning in the 1970s, governments at the federal, state, and local levels became increasingly concerned about the effects of hazardous mater ials on human health and the environment.

Numerous laws and regulations were developed to investigate and mitigate these effects. As a result, the storage, use, generation, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials are highly regulated by federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

The subject property is surrounded by retail and residential development, a flood control channel, and the Santa Rosa Mountains. The site was previously developed with a gasoline service station, an automobile service/repair facility, and single-family residences, all of which have been demolished and followed by mass grading. These former structures onsite used septic tanks before the sewage system was connected to the Project area.

Proposed development would bring a variety of commonly used but potentially hazardous materials, including chlorine for pools and chemicals typical of restaurant, retail and residential developments. The gasoline station proposed onsite will result in the transport, storage, and use of hazardous materials.

Hazardous materials transport, storage, and use in the Cathedral City is strictly regulated for large quantity users, such as industrial processes and commercial dry cleaners. The city implements the General Plan’s Hazardous and Toxic Materials Element through regular consultation with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Fire Department, and County Department of Environmental Health.

There is one cleanup site located on the subject property and three cleanup sites located in proximity to the Project site (State Water Resources Control Board’s online database , GeoTracker ). All sites are designated leaking Underground Storage Tank ( LUST) cleanup sites and all cases have been completed and closed. The LUST sites include:

On Project Site:
• World Oil #71 (former) (Case T0606500919)

In Proximity to Site:
• Palm Springs Oil #9, 68830 East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) (Case T0606500929) • Shell Former Cathedral City, 69010 East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) (Case T0606512976) • Shell Station, 69010 East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) (Case T0606500910)

SALEM Engineering Group, Inc. prepared a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in 2019 and a Geophysical Anomaly Investigation in 2020 for the proposed Project, and is discussed below.

Discussion of Impacts

a, b) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The proposed Project includes development of multi-family residential units, restaurants, gas station, and general commercial and retail land uses.

Fueling stations and underground fuel tanks would be installed for the gas station. The installation, operation and maintenance of underground storage tanks is highly regulated by County, State and federal agencies, as described below, which would assure that impacts associated with these facilities would be less than significant on the Project site.

Diesel and regular gasoline fuel would be transported to the site. The nearest gas station is ARCO located at 36001 Date Palm Drive, approximately 0.6 miles north to the site. Storage tank refueling is a routine procedure and fuel is currently being transported to other gas stations in the City. The storage of automobile fuel in underground storage tanks will be carried out in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 23, Division 3, Chapter 16, California Health and Safety Code Section (25280 – 25299.8) and Riverside County Ordinance 617., which specifies responsibility of unauthorized releases, investigation and records, and violations and enforcement

actions. 10 The new tanks would be designed in a manner that provides spill and overflow protection, in accordance with Division 20, Chapter 6.7, of the California Health and Safety Code, section 25290.1(a).

The other components of the project (multi-family residential, restaurants, and general commercial and retail land uses) would involve use of limited quantities of hazardous materials such as cleaning and degreasing solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and similar materials. These chemicals will be transported and stored within the project site. These will occur in limited quantities and will not require a hazardous material handling/storage permit. The manner in which commercial chemicals are stored and handled is highly regulated by the Fire Department, County and State.

These standard requirements will assure that impacts associated with commerc ial quantities of chemicals will be less than significant.

Construction of the Project would also involve the temporary use of potentially hazardous materials, including vehicle fuels, paints, oils, and transmission fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and used in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and handled in compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulations. Any associated risk would be adequately reduced to a less than significant le vel through compliance with these standards and regulations.

Phase I Site Assessment (2019)
The Project site was previously developed with a gasoline service station, automobile service/repair facility, and single -family residences that were connected to septic systems. The northwest corner of the subject property contained a World Oil gas station that was designated a LUST (Leaking Underground Storage Tank) Cleanup Site due to a release of gasoline in 1995 (California Geotracker database, Case No. T060650 0919, 68869 East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111)). Cleanup was completed, and the case was closed in June 1996. The gas station was demolished by 2002.

In October 2019, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was conducted on the subject property to deter mine the presence or absence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products (Appendix F). The report concluded that, due to the potential of USTs remaining on the subject property, there is a potential health risk associated with vapor intrusion in whic h vapors moving up through soil could get into the indoor air of future buildings. The report recommended a geophysical survey to determine the locations of possible sub -grade structures remaining from prior development.

Geophysical Anomaly Investigation (2020)
SALEM conducted a geophysical survey on December 30 and 31, 2019 on the northernmost 2 acres of the subject property that was historically occupied by a World Oil Company gasoline service station and a Firestone automobile service/repair facility (Appendix C). Seven high - amplitude anomalies were observed onsite and later identified as buried metallic pipes or suspected utility vault. One anomaly, in proximity to the location of the former gas station, exhibited “tank- like” characteristics that required further investigation.

July 2022 57
SALEM performed the UST excavation activities on January 17, 2020. The suspect tank was rusty, however the steel was intact and soil samples collected from below the UST did not identify the presence of TPH -G/D/O or VOCs, and total lead concentrations were well below regulatory agency screening levels. Based on these findings, SALEM concluded that no further investigation related to the possible existence of subsurface structures of potential environmental concern is necessary at the subject property. However, SALEM recommends that the UST be cleaned, removed, and disposed prior to redevelopment of the subject property.

To reduce potential impacts related to the release of hazardous materials to less than significant levels, Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 is included at the end of this section, consistent with the findings of the geophysical anomaly investigation. With the implementation of this mitigation measure, potential impacts associated with hazardous materials will be reduce d to less than significant levels.

c) No Impact. There is no school located within ¼ mile of the Project site. Mayfield College is the nearest school and is located approximately 0.92 miles north of the subject property, and Cathedral City Elementary School is located approximately 0.95 miles to the northeast. Project construction and operations would involve the use and storage of hazardous materials in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and handled in compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulations. No impacts to schools would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

d) Less than Significant Impact With Mitigation. The Project site is currently vacant and is not included on a list of active hazardous sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. H owever a UST was discovered during the Phase I Environmental and Geophysical Anomaly Investigation that requires removal prior to site development (see response to a, b above).

Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 w as included to reduce potential impacts related to the relea se of hazardous materials to less than significant levels.

e) No Impact. The Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is approximately 4 miles northwest of the subject property. The Project planning area is well outside the airport planning boundary and operational and navigational hazard area. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working at the Project site, and no mitigation measures would be required.

f) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project site is located south of East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111) and east of Van Fleet Avenue . According to Project site plans, the commercial portion of the Project is proposing to locate primary access at the East Palm Canyon Drive intersections of Allen Avenue and Date Palm Drive. The Allen Avenue driveway is currently improved with curb cuts and the intersection is partially constructed for a traffic signal. The Date Palm Drive access point will require curb cut improvements. Secondary access will occur along A Street, which currently bisects the northwestern corner of the proposed site with driveways on East Palm Canyon Drive and Van Fleet Avenue . Access point locations for the future residential development on the southern portion of the site is currently unknown. However it is anticipated that access will be provided by Van Fleet Avenue and D Street.

Major roadways near the project site, including East Palm Canyon Drive and Date Palm Drive would be used as regional emergency evacuation routes to and from the City. The project access points will not alter the existing circulation pattern in the project area or adversely impact evacuation plans. The majority of construction activities for the Project would be confined to the

Project site itself. Some partial lane closures , detours, or other traffi c disruptions are likely. The project’s proposed parking and circulation plans will be reviewed by the Fire and Police Departments to assure that driveways are adequate for emergency vehicles. In addition, construction traffic management plans will be required to assure that the proposed Project will not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. These standard requirements will assure that there will be no impacts associated with emergency response.

g) No Impact. The Project site is located in an urban area . According to the CalFire Fire Hazard Severity Zone map, the Project site is outside a fire hazard zone. 11 Wildfire risks exist given the site’s proximity to the Santa Rosa Mountains; however, the foothills in Cathe dral City are characterized by rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, and wildfire risks have been historically very low. Therefore, the Project would not subject people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death as a result of exposure to wildland fires. No project related impact is expected.

Mitigation Measures:

HAZ-1 Per the Geophysical Anomaly Investigation Report, the existing UST located onsite shall be cleaned, removed, and disposed prior to redevelopment of the subject property.

Monitoring:

HAZ-A Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the UST shall be cleaned, removed, and disposed prior to redevelopment of the subject property.

Responsible Parties: Project applicant, qualified engineer, Planning Department, City Engineer.

Environmental Setting

Domestic Water Supplier
The Desert Water Agency (DWA) provides domestic water to development south and west of the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel in Cathedral City, including the subject p roperty. Its primary source of water is groundwater extracted by deep wells from the Whitewater River subbasin. The total storage capacity of the Indio/Whitewater River subbasin is approximately 28.8 million acre -feet and it currently contains approximately 25 million acre-feet. It is capable of meeting the water demands of the Coachella Valley, including the City, for extended normal and drought periods. DWA’s domestic water

5.A.e
Packet Pg. 494
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 60
system includes more than 25 wells with depth of 1000 to 1200 feet to serve its customer base. DWA also replenishes the groundwater basin with water from the State Water Project via the Colorado River Aqueduct, which CVWD and DWA use to fill recharge ponds located at Whitewater and Mission Creek.

The Project will require installation of onsite water pipelines that connect to existing major trunk lines located under East Palm Canyon Drive. It will also require both potable water for use in residential, hotel and commercial buildings, and recycled water for irrigation of landscaping.

The proposed Project will result in a mixed -use commercial development on approximately 13.93 acres in the City of Cathedral City. The commercial portion will be 5.81 acres, and the remaining of the property will consist of an up to 200-unit multi-family residential development. State Water Code Section 10910(a) states that any city or county that determines that a “Project,” as defined in Water Code Section 10912, shall prepare a water supply assessment. The threshold defined by the Water Code is 500 dwelling units, 500,000 square feet (approximately 11.48 acres) of commercial development, or a com bination thereof resulting in the equivalent of 500 dwelling units. The proposed Project does not meet either threshold of 500 dwelling units or 500,000 square feet of commercial development ; therefore, a water supply assessment is not required.

Wastewater Treatment Provider and Sewer System
DWA also provides wastewater collection service to the Project area. DWA does not operate a wastewater treatment plant; its wastewater collection system is connected to CVWD’s sewer system through which wastewater is conveyed to the Cook Street wastewater treatment plant in Palm Desert. CVWD continually increases the capacity of its wastewater reclamation facilities by con structing new treatment ponds, aeration, and other structures. CVWD also implements the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board pertaining to domestic water quality and wastewater discharge.

Flood Control
The Project site is located in the Coachella Valley where the average rainfall is approximately 3.76 inches per year. Several watersheds drain the adjoining elevated terrain of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains towards the valley floor. The Project site slopes gently to the north and is surrounded by urban development and a fenced flood control channel ; there are no or limited tributary flows to and from the site. The proposed Project will not discharge into either regional or local drainages. Rather, it will manage stormwater on-site with a retention basin and potentially an underground system.

The Project area is subject to City requirements relating to flood control. The City implements standard requirements for the retention of storm flows, and participates in the National Po llution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to protect surface waters from pollution.

Discussion of Impacts

a, e) Less Than Significant Impact. A significant impact may occur if a Project discharges water which does not meet the quality standards of agencies that regulate surface or ground water quality and water discharge into stormwater drainage systems.

The site currently drains to the northerly boundary onto East Palm Canyon Drive whe re it is conveyed into a series of catch basins into the public storm drain that discharges storm water in the Cathedral Canyon Channel. Based on preliminary design, stormwater runoff from the development site will be conveyed through a system of underground storm drains that collect water to five underground detention and infiltration basins throughout the site. These basins are proposed

5.A.e
Packet Pg. 495
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 61
and are generally located on Parcels 1, 3, 4, 5, and A Street. The basins have been designed to contain an emergency ove rflow for events up to the 100 -year storm. Excess stormwater would flow through an outlet structure connected to the existing public storm drain located along East Palm Canyon Drive.

The proposed Project will generate demand for domestic water and waste water, which will be governed by DWA standard requirements. Construction of on -site connections will be subject to all DWA requirements. The proposed Project will not violate water quality standards or waste discharge requirements.

The proposed Project will be required to comply with DWA and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations to minimize the pollutant load associated with urban activities. Meeting those standards requires the preparation and approval of a WQMP and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, both of which must be approved by the City prior to the initiation of construction activities. Both plans will include Best Management Practices that will protect surface waters from pollutants in storm flows during both construction and long-term operation of the Project. Disposal of grease and oil would be required to comply with Riverside County Department of Environmental Health and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regulations. The imposition of conditions of approval and adherence to local, state and federal requirements will assure that impacts associated with water quality standards are less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will require potable water for use in residential, retail and commercial buildings . The American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AWWARF) has developed demand factors for land use categories including residential uses. As shown in the table below, the Proj ect has the potential to generate a demand of 37.52 acre-feet per year.

The Coachella Valley’s largest water supply source is groundwater from the Whitewater River Basin. DWA works with five other Coachella Valley water suppliers to manage the underground water basins and to better serve the City and greater Coachella Valley . The proposed Project is consistent with the land use designation assigned to it in the General Plan, on which, in part, DWA based its future water demand analysis when contributing to the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP). According to the 2020 RUWMP, DWA anticipated a total water demand (deliveries) of 36,228 AF/year in 2025.12 The proposed Project will increase water demand (expected DWA deliveries) by 0.1% over the projected 2020 demand. The project

will connect to existing water lines beneath East Palm Canyon Drive. No new wells or additional water infrastructure are proposed. Therefore, project impacts associated with domestic water demand are expected to be less than significant.

The project will be required to comply with the DWA’s water-efficiency requirements, including the use of drought -tolerant planting materials and limited landscaping irrigation . Landscaping water demands will marginally increase the Project’s overall water demand, however DWA offers non-potable, recycled water may be available for commercial irrigation. Buildings will be equipped with water efficient fixtures in compliance with Building Code requirements to reduce water consumption. Implementation of these and other applicable requirements w ill assure that water-related impacts remain at less than significant levels.

c i-iv) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site consists of generally flat terrain that gently slopes to the north (<5%) and contains no rivers or streams. The northwest portion of the site is developed with a paved parking lot; the remainder of the site is vacant but has been graded. Development of the proposed Project will increase impermeable surfaces onsite and , therefore, increase onsite storm flows.

The site currently drains to the northerly boundary onto East Palm Canyon Drive where it is conveyed into a series of catch basins into the public storm drain that discharges storm water in the East Cathedral Canyon Flood Control Channel. The proposed grading and drainage plan for the site will be designed to maintain these existing drainage characteristics. Stormwater runoff from the development site will be conveyed through a system of underground storm drains that collect water to five underground detention and infiltration throughout the site. The basins have been designed to contain an emergency overflow for events up to the 100 -year storm. Excess stormwater would flow through an outlet structure connected to the existing public storm drain located along East Palm Canyon Drive.

The proposed Project will be required to comply with the City’s storm water retention requirements, including the approval of a project-specific final hydrology study and water quality management plan prior to the issuance of building permits. In addition, implementation of City required BMPs will reduce pollutants of concern that may enter nearby receiving waters and help reduce short and long-term water quality impacts caused by the construction and operation of the proposed Project. Approval of the WQMP, SWPPP, and the required BMPs will reduce impacts to surface waters by reducing erosion, siltation, and eliminating pollutants in storm flows. With the implementation of this standard requirement, the impacts to downstream water bodies associated with surface water pollution will be less than significant.

d) Less Than Significant Impact. A seiche is an oscillation of a body of water in an enclosed or semi enclosed basin, such as a reservoir, harbor, lake, or storage tank. A tsunami is a sea wave or pulse typically caused by undersea earthquakes.

The proposed Project site is not located in the vicinity of a water body. No hazard from dam failure, tsunami or seiche is possible. The East Cathedral Canyon Flood Contorl Channel is adjacent to the southeast boundary of the subject property. It directs stormwater runoff from the Santa Rosa Mountains to the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel and, as such, reduces flood risks on nearby properties, including the subject property. The subject property is designated on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) as “Zone X: Area With Reduced Flood Risk Due to L evee.” Zone X represents areas of 0.2% annual chance of flood, areas of average depths of less than 1 foot or

Environmental Setting

The Project site is designated as Downtown Commercial in the General Plan Land Use Map. The site is zoned Downtown Residential Neighborhood and Mixed Use Commercial and is governed by the policies and land use designations of the City of Cathedral City General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

The City participates in the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), as discussed above in Section IV, Biological Resources, and is a Permittee under that Plan.

Discussion of Impacts

a) No Impact. The subject property is currently primarily vacant with some paved area and parking spaces in the northwest corner, in downtown Cathedral City . The surrounding residential communities and commercial development will not be affected by the proposed Project because they are physically separate from and operate independently of the proposed Project, and they can be accessed by roads that are separate from the subject property. The existing commercial building and A Street configuration on the northwest corner of the site will remain intact and existing access points will be maintained. The proposed commercial uses are compatible with the existing commercial business, which will not be significantly impacted but can b e expected to have a net positive effect by increasing traffic to the shopping center and expanding the customer base. The Project would not impede access to surrounding properties or otherwise physically divide an established community. No impact is anticipated.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project site is designated as Downtown Commercial on the City’s General Plan Land Use Map, which support s the zoning designations of Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN) and Mixed Use Commercial (MXC) assigned to the Project site.

The Downtown Commercial designation provides for a variety of commercial centers, ranging from storefront scale buildings and office space, to lodging and entertainment establishments.

Permitted land uses for Mixed Use Commerc ial include a mix of residential, up to 45 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC), commercial retail, office and public gathering spaces. Uses may be mixed either horizontally or vertically, with an emphasis on commercial and allowing “big box” development. Permitted land uses for Downtown Residential include single - or multiple-family dwellings, home occupations, permitted occupational activities within a live/work unit, as well as supportive and transitional housing up to 36 DU/AC for lots greater than 42,000 square feet.

Packet Pg. 499
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 65
The City’s Zoning Map designates the northern portion of the Project site along East Palm Canyon Drive as MXC, and the southern portion as DRN. According to the Cathedral City Municipal Code Section 9.31.040, when multiple parcels are part of a single development, and the zoning for the development is a mixture of MXC and DRN, the provisions of either zone shall apply to the entire project area. Therefore, the proposed Project land uses will not conflict with the boundary between DRN and MXC in the Zoning Map pending confirmation by the Planning Commission at the time of Project approval.

The following permits are requested for the proposed Project : Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, Design Review, Zone Ordinance Amendment, and Tentative Parcel Map.

The Zone Ordinance Amendment proposes minor changes to the Mixed-Use Commercial (MXC) and Downtown Residential Neighborhood (DRN) zones text , which allows the Project to be developed without conflicting with the zoning designations. Specifically, the MXC zone text will modified to include a new section titled “Special Regulations for Cathedral Cove” to conditionally permit the proposed land uses with regulations specific to the Project site, including drive-through restaurants/cafes and gasoline fueling stations. The proposed land uses are currently permitted or conditionally permitted along the city’s commercial corridor; therefore, the Project is consistent with the city’s existing commercial development pattern and will not confl ict with existing land uses. Other minor text modifications are proposed but do no impact land use.

Lands surrounding the site are primarily designated as Downtown Commercial, and two parcels on the east and northwest are designated as General Commercial. Lands to the south are designated low density residential. Therefore the proposed Project is also considered consistent with existing zoning and land use plans with regard to use, size and scale, and will provide a cohesive land use transition between the residential and DRN/MXC zoning designations.

The proposed Project supports the General P lan’s policies regarding the development of mixed- use projects in the Downtown area that combine high density residential with local commercial services. Therefore, the proposed Project will be consistent with adopted plans and programs and impacts to land use policy are expected to be less than significant.

Environmental Setting

In the Coachella Valley, mineral resources are largely limited to aggregates , such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. These are major components of concrete, plaster, stucco, road base and fill, which a re essential to the construction industry. There are important deposits of these materials that occur within the region that are being actively developed. Aggregate products are now being recycled when roads are resurfaced and buildings demolished, lowerin g the demand for mining new aggregate. According to the Cathedral City General Plan, the City is classified as Mineral Resource Zone 3 (MRZ-3) which generally refers to areas where development has limited the ability to determine the presence or amount of mineral resources.

Discussion of Impacts

a, b) No Impact. The Project site is currently undeveloped; previous development has been demolished and followed by mass grading. The Project area is located in a State-designated Mineral Resource Zone MRZ-3, which is defined as an “area containing mineral deposits, the significance of which cannot be evaluated from available data.” The Project site occurs in an urban setting and is not designated for mineral resource extraction; therefore, the Project would not result in the loss of availability of a mineral resource or a mineral resource recovery site. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be required.

Environmental Setting

Noise sources can be divided into two general categories, transportation sources (primarily traffic) and non-transportation or “stationary” sources. Transportation sources are by far the largest contributor to community noise levels. Local government has little direct control over transportation noise; rather, state and federal agencies assume the responsibility over vehicle noise emission levels. Methods to reduce the impacts of noise on sensitive land uses may include vehicle trip reduction, noise barriers, and setbacks.

City’s Noise Regulations
Table S -6 (Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments ) of the General Plan shows acceptable noise levels for various land uses. Acceptable exterior noise levels for residential development range from 45 to 65 dBA CNEL , and 45 to 7 2.5 dBA CNEL for commercial development. These noise levels do not include construction-related noise levels, as construction activities generate temporary noise.

General Plan standards are supplemented by Municipal Code Chapter 11.96, the Noise Ordinance, which regulates noise throughout the City.

Urban Crossroads prepared a noise impact analysis for the proposed Project (Appendix E). Its findings are summarized in the analysis below.

Discussion of Impacts

a) Less than Significant Impact. The subject property is currently vacant and undeveloped. The main noise source in the area is vehicular traffic on East Palm Canyon Drive. The surrounding area mainly consists of commercial and resident ial development and vacant lands. The nearest sensitive receptors are the single-family residences immediately west of Van Fleet Avenue and south of D Street.

Off-Site Construction Noise Impacts
Noise generating construction activities would include site preparation, excavation, grading, and the construction and finishing of the proposed buildings. Noise levels surrounding the Project site could be elevated for short periods of time, as equipment moves through the site. These noise levels would be limited to the less sensitive daytime hours, and would cease once building construction began. Construction activities will comply with the City’s Municipal Code Section §

11.96.070 which limits construction times and days as follows:

October 1st through April 30th:

The noise impact analysis referenced noise level measurements published in the Update of Noise Database for Prediction of Noise on Construction and Open Sites by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). According to the noise analysis, daytime construction noise levels should not exceed 80 dBA Leq for an 8-hour period. Four noise receiver locations were chosen to analyze potential noise impacts from construction activities. Results of the analysis are as follows:13

• R1: 58 feet south of the property boundary. Highest level: 74.5 dBA Leq • R2: 118 feet west of the property boundary. Highest level: 72.3 dBA Leq • R3: 716 feet north of the property boundary. Highest level: 64.8 dBA Leq • R4: 718 feet east of the property boundary. Highest level: 61.7 dBA Leq

Results of the construction noise analysis shows that the nearest receiver locations will be below the reasonable daytime 80 dBA Leq significance threshold, and therefore impacts due to Project construction noise is considered less than significant.

Project Operational Noise
At buildout, principal Project-related noise sources will include vehicular traffic accessing the site, roof-top air conditioning units, drive-through speakerphones, trash enclosure activity, parking lot vehicle movements, and gas station activity . Operational noise levels were evaluated against the City’s exterior noise level thresholds at five nearby noise-sensitive receiver locations:14

• R1: 58 feet south of the property boundary. Daytime: 43.0 dBA Leq , Nighttime: 39.9 dBA Leq
• R2: 118 feet west of the property boundary. Daytime: 43.6 dBA Leq , Nighttime: 40.3 dBA Leq
• R3: 716 feet north of the property boundary. Daytime: 43.2 dBA Leq , Nighttime: 39.7 dBA Leq
• R4: 718 feet east of the property boundary. Daytime: 39.2 dBA Leq , Nighttime: 35.7 dBA Leq
• R5: Future residential components of Project, 10 feet sout h of planned commercial land uses. Daytime: 51.8 dBA Leq , Nighttime: 48.1 dBA Leq

Per the City’s General Plan, noise level thresholds are 65 dBA Leq during the daytime hours and 60 dBA Leq during nighttime hours. Results of the noise analysis shows the P roject operational noise levels during the daytime hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m at the off -site receiver locations are expected to range from 39.2 to 51.8 dBA Leq, and operational noise levels during the nighttime hours of 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. are expected to range from 35.7 to 48.1 dBA Leq. Therefore, the operational noise impacts are considered less than significant.

Off-Site Ambient Noise Increase Impacts
The Project operational noise levels are combined with the existing ambient noise levels measurements for the nearest off -site receiver to evaluate the ambient operational noise level increases in the Project area. According to the noise study, the Project will generate a daytime and nighttime operational noise level increases ranging from 0.0 to 0.5 dBA Leq at the nearest receiver locations.15 For a noise level increase to be considered substantial, a project would need to increase ambient noise levels by more than 5 dBA CNEL if existing conditions are less than 60 dBA CNEL, and more than 1.5 dBA CNEL if existing conditions are greater than 65 dBA CNEL. Therefore, Project-related operational ambient noise level increases are considered less than significant.

Transportation Noise Impacts
The primary source of exterior transportation noise affecting the Project site is anticipated to be from East Palm Canyon Drive (Hwy 111), Van Fleet Avenue and “D” Street, and to a lesser extent the Project’s internal roads. According to the noise analysis, and per the City’s General Plan land use compatibility standards, noise levels of up to 65 dBA CNEL are “acceptable” and levels up to 70 dBA CNEL are “conditionally acceptable” for single -family residential uses. Results of the noise analysis indicate that for all three primary roadways, unmitigated exterior noise levels would not exceed the land use compatibility noise thresholds.

To evaluate interior transportation noise impacts , the noise analysis relies on the acceptable 45 dBA CNEL interior noise li mit for new construction. Assuming standard building construction, results of the analysis shows future interior noise levels are expected to range from 21.1 to 35.9 dBA CNEL, thus satisfying the 45 dBA CNEL interior noise level standard.16

In summary , bo th exterior and interior transportation noise level impacts would be below established thresholds and no mitigation is required. Impacts are considered less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. Groundborne vibration would produce groundborne noise, which is a rumbling sound. During construction of the proposed Project, ground-borne vibration and/or ground-borne noise would be generated, which could be felt by adjacent land uses. Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods used, distance to the affected structures and soil type.

The noise analysis used the vibration assessment methods defined by the Federal Transit Administration, Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual. The same four receiver locations were used to analyze vibration -related impacts. Based on maximum acceptable continuous vibration threshold of 0.3 PPV (in/sec) for older residential buildings, the noise analysis found that typical Project constru ction vibration levels would not exceed the building damage thresholds at all receiver locations.

It is expected that ground -borne vibration from project construction activities would cause only intermittent, localized intrusion due to heavy construction equipment and trucks. The Municipal Code exempts construction activities from short -term, short-duration noise standards when they are conducted during permitted time frames. The City will require that construction activity comply with Chapter 11.96 of the Municipal Code, which limits construction activity to hours discussed in response a), above. These requirements will reduce impacts to less sensitive daytime hours and assure that short -term ground-borne impacts will be less than significant. Long -term operation of the project is not expected to generate ground-borne vibrations or noise. Impacts will be less than significant.

c) No Impact. The Project site is located approximately four miles southeast of the Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) and outside of existing and modeled future airport noise contours.

Therefore, no impacts would occur, and no mitigation measures would be required.

Environmental Setting

According to the California Department of Finance, the population of the City of Cathedral City was estimated to be 53,973 (2021).17 The City housing stock is composed of a mix of single-family and multi- family development, but the majority ( 22.7%) of housing units are single -family detached homes. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) estimates that the City will have a total population of 76,300 in 2045.18

Discussion of Impacts

a) Less Than Significant Impact. The Project would result in the construction of 200 new multi- family residential units and commercial development, including restaurant, retail, and a gas station.

Given the City’s average household size of 3.08 persons19, the 200 new units could potentially include a permanent population of approximately 616 persons. This represents 0.8% of the City’s anticipated 2045 population of 76,300, which would have a less than signific ant impact on the overall population of the area. The subject property is designated for Downtown Residential Neighborhood and Mixed-Use Commercial development in the Zoning map and, therefore, onsite population growth is planned and part of the City’s vision for this site.

The Project will generate a variety of new jobs, including construction, restaurant, and retail jobs and could attract new residents to the city. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) estimates that the city will have a total employment of 18,000 in 2045. M ost jobs are expected to be filled by people already living in the valley or future residents coming to the area as part of expected growth, and the Project is not expected to attract a substantial number of ne w residents to the area. Project impacts on population growth and housing demand are expected to be less than significant.

The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The proposed Project occurs on the City’s existing street grid, and will tie into existing utility systems. Since existing streets, utilities and public facilities are located adjacent to the project site along East Palm Canyon, the project will not result in the construction or expansion of new infrastructure. Overall, less than significant impacts are anticipated.

b) No Impact. The subject property is largely vacant (other than parking facilities in the northwest corner), and the proposed Project would not displace any existing housing or persons or require the construction of housing elsewhere. No impact will occur.

Discussion of Impacts

Fire Protection:

Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will comply with the California Fire Code and regulations of the City Fire Department to reduce fire protection impacts to less than significant levels. Requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Sufficient supply of firefighting water available at the Project site; • Connections for fire apparatus in unobstructed areas easily accessible in all weather conditions; and
• Fire hydrants or water tanks, and roads of all-weather surfaces meeting City specifications to support heavy fire apparatus.

The Fire Department will review Project site plans to ensure they meet applicable fire standards and regulations. The Project proponent will be required to pay City Development Impact Fees to provide police and fire stations and install new traffic signals ($150 per 1,000 square feet or fraction thereof). The Project proponent will also be required to pay City Facilities Impact Fees for government services ($1,850 per residential unit and varies per acre for commercial projects).

Fire and emergency personnel will be able to access the site using multiple entrances, including those on D Street, Van Fleet Avenue, and East Palm Canyon Drive. Project-related impacts to fire protection are expected to be less than significant.

Police Protection:

Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project could potentially increase the number of police service calls due to an increase in onsite residences, hotel and commercial guests, employees, and visitors. Based on the type and intensity of the proposed uses, the Project would not require the construction of new or expanded police station facilities. Project site plans would be reviewed by the Police Department , and the Project will be required to meet standard safety requirements. The Project proponent will be required to pay City development impact fees to provide police stations and install new traffic signals ($150 per 1,000 square feet or fraction thereof). The residential portion of the project will be required to annex into the City’s Community Facilities Distirct to pay for future police services.

Police and emergency personnel will be able to access the site using multiple entrances, including those on D Street, Van Fleet Avenue , and East Palm Canyon Drive. Project-related impacts to police protection are expected to be less than significant.

Schools:

Less Than Significant Impact. Based on PSUSD student generation rates, shown below, the Project has the potential to generate approximately 68 kindergarten through twelfth grade students.

The proposed Project will be subject to the PSUSD developer fees in place at the time development occurs, which currently stand at $4.08 per square foot of residential development and $0.66 per square foot of commercial development. Payment of the developer fee would mitigate potential significant impacts to school resources to less than significant levels.

Parks/Other public facilities:

Less Than Significant Impact. The project’s increase in permanent population has the potential to increase the use of existing local or regional park/other public facilities. It is anticipated that the residential portion of the Project would include some onsite recreational amenities and common areas consistent with City requirements; the Project’s residents, shoppers, and employees could generate an increased demand for City park and recreation facilities. The project will be required to pay the development impact fee for parks imposed on all new development in the City.

Overall, project build out is expected to marginally impact local and/or regional parks/other public facilities. No additional public facilities are required for the proposed Project. Increase in demand for the city’s existing facilities will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting

Cathedral City has a total of 73.23 acres of park s and 154 acres of undeveloped park lands. The nearest public park to the Project site is Town Square Park located 0.13 miles northw est of the subject property.

Five public/private golf courses are available to local residents and visitors, including the Date Palm Country Club, located approximately 0.52 miles to the north of the Project site. Other park and recreational facilities include numerous mini, neighborhood and community parks, as well as Boys and Girls Club, senior center, and extensive bike lanes and hiking trails.

Discussion of Impacts

a, b) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed multi-family residential development could generate an estimated permanent population of 616 residents (3.08 persons per household for Cathedral City, based on California Department of Finance 20 21 City/County Population and Housing Estimates). The units will have a common area; however, information regarding onsite recreational amenities is unavailable at this time. Given the Project’s limited projected buildout population, the Project will not induce substantial population growth that would result in significant impa cts to existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities.

Environmental Setting

In the City of Cathedral City, roadways are classified i nto different roadway types . East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), which will provide primary access to the proposed development site, is classified as an Arterial Highway. Another major arterial roadway, Date Palm Drive, also serves the site. Van Fleet Avenue and D Street are local streets.

Urban Crossroads prepared a traffic impact analysis for the proposed Project in 2022. The Traffic Analysis was prepared in accordance with the County of Riverside’s Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service & Vehicle Miles Traveled (December 2020) as the City of Cathedral City does not have its own LOS/VMT analysis guidelines. The City’s acceptable Level of Service (LOS) for both roadway segments and intersection operations in LOS D or better. All area roadways and intersections currently operate at acceptable levels.

The Project trip generation rates are based on Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, 2021. The following land uses were used to describe the Project: multi-family housing‐low rise (ITE Land Use Code 220) land use, retail (ITE Land Use Code 820), fast food without drive thru (ITE Land Use Code 933), fast food with drive thru (ITE Land Use Code 934), and gasoline service station with convenience market (ITE Land Use Code 12).

The traffic impact analysis considered 1 7 area intersections, and the potential impacts the Project c ould have on those intersections, as shown in Table 9.

(1) TS = Traffic Signal; CSS = Cross Street Stop AWS = All-Way Stop (2) Per the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition (HCM6), overall average intersection delay and level of service are shown for intersections with a traffic signal or all way stop control. For intersections with cross street stop control, the delay and level of service for the worst individual movement (or movements sharing a single lane) are shown. (3) LOS = Level of Service

Results of the traffic analysis determined that both Existing (2021) and Existing plus Ambient plus Project (2023) traffic conditions, all study area intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable LOS of “D ” or better. However, for Existing plus Ambient Growth plus Project Plus Cumulative (2023) and General Plan Buildout (2040) traffic conditions, the Project would contribute to a cumulative transportation deficiency at the intersection of Date Palm Drive/Gerald Ford Drive (ID: 3 , EAPC and GP buildout ); and for General Plan Buildout (2040) traffic conditions, 2 additional intersections, Cathedral Canyon Drive / Dinah Shore Drive (ID: 8 , GP buildout) and Date Palm Drive / Ramon Road (ID: 17, GP Buildout) would operate an unacceptable LOS . All other intersections would operate at acceptable LOS. The City has approved and is proceeding with the improvements at Date Palm/Gerald Ford through funding from the Highway Safety Administration, which will implement the necessary improvements, thereby mitigating the impacts at that intersection. For the 2040-condition intersections, Cathedral Canyon/Dinah Shore and Date Palm/Ramon, the City’s General Plan policies and programs are implementing monitoring and long term mitigation, which will be addressed over time, when and

if the improvements are warranted. The City will require that the Project widen East Palm Canyon Drive to its ultimate General Plan build out configuration from Allen to Date Palm as part of the first phase of the Project ; and from Allen west to an abutting private property and west of that abutting property to and including the intersection of Van Fleet and East Palm Canyon all as part of a later phase, to assure adequate LOS along this portion of the roadway.

In addition, the Project applicant shall participate in the CVAG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program by paying the requisite TUMF fee. In addition, in order to assure that impacts associated with Cathedral Canyon/Dinah Shore and Date Palm/Ramon are reduced to less than significant levels, Mitigation Measure TRA -3 is provided below, which requires the City to monitor and improve the two impacted intersections when conditions warrant. With implementation of the mitigation measures below, impacts associated with traffic will be reduced to less than significant levels.

Drive-Through Vehicle Stacking
Urban Crossroads included a queuing analysis to assess the adequacy of turn bay lengths to accommodate vehicle queues at the Project entries. Although it is unlikely that all three of the on- site drive-throughs experience extended queues at the same time, the traffic analysis determined that up to 40 parking spaces could be intermittently blocked by vehicle stacking under a worst - case scenario. Therefore, Urban Crossroads recommends that a vehicle stacking management plan be prepared by each drive-through occupant to ensure appropriate emergency vehicle access and access to handicapped parking stalls are retained. The provision of a 32 foot driveway width along the main east -west driveway between the central site entry and the Date Palm Drive entry accommodates extended drive-through stacking while still allowing for 22 feet of bypass travel.

Mitigation Measures TRA-2 has been included as a precautionary measure to ensure obstruction to emergency and/or handicapped access as a result of drive-through vehicle stacking are avoided.

Alternative Transportation Planning
SunLine Transit Agency provides bus transit services to the Coachella Valley, including Cathedral City. SunLine Bus #111 currently provides service along East Palm Ca nyon Drive. The closest bus stop to the Project site is on the southeast corner of East Palm Canyon Drive and Date Palm Drive. There is another bus stop on the north side of East Palm Canyon Drive near Allen Avenue, as well as one near the Project site at B Street and Buddy Rogers for SunLine Bus #111 and #30.

Based on the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Active Transportation Plan and Cathedral City Active Transportation Plan, on-street bicycle facilities are proposed along East Palm Canyon Drive and Date Palm Drive. Sidewalks have already been installed along the subject property boundaries on East Palm Canyon Drive, Van Fleet Avenue, and D Street.

The proposed Project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. No project related impact is anticipated.

b) Less Than Significant Impact. CEQA Guidel ines section 15064.3 sets forth guidelines for implementing Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). SB 743 requires amendments to the CEQA Guidelines (pre-2019) to provide an alternative to LOS for evaluating transportation impacts. Particularly within areas served by transit, those alternative criteria must “promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses.” (Public Resources Code Section 21099(b)(1).) Measurements of transportation impacts may

5.A.e
Packet Pg. 516
Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 82
include “vehicle miles traveled, vehicle miles traveled per capita, automobile trip generation rates, or automobile trips generated.”

The CEQA Guidelines have since been updated to allow for lead agency discretion in establishing methodologies and thresholds consistent with the intent of the legislation. The City utilizes the December 2020 County of Riverside Transportation Guidelines for VMT assessments. Per County guidelines, a project would have a less than significant VMT impact if:

• Small projects (110 single-family DU or 147 multi-family DU); • Projects near high quality transit;
• Local serving retail;
• Affordable housing;
• Local essential service (day care, police or fire facility, medical/dental office, government office);
• Residential and office projects in an area under VMT thresholds as shown on screening maps (Low VMT Area); and
• Redevelopment projects.

The County-recommended criteria for “local serving retail” and “map-based screening (Low VMT Area)” were used to evaluat e Project -related VMT impacts. For commercial screening (local serving retail), the traffic analysis found that the Project’s commercial uses serve traffic interacting with the local area in the following ways:

• Travelers on East Palm Canyon Drive are already passing-by the site; • Travelers attracted to the site from nearby residences and businesses; and • Existing and future casino patrons

For residential uses, the County’s VMT map -based screening criteria states that, for areas of residential and office projects where the area of development is under the threshold as shown on the screening map, the Project is presumed to cause a less than significant impact. The traffic analysis finds that the VMT per capita threshold has been met at the Project site and the refore a full VMT analysis is not required, and impacts are considered less than significant.

As discussed above, the proposed Project is expected to have less than significant impacts on traffic flows and Level of Service standards with the implementatio n of mitigation measures. These improvements will improve the traffic flow in the area, and therefore, at this time, the project will not conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

c) Less than Signficant Impact. The subject property is located within a largely developed urban area and accessed via existing highways, streets, and intersections. Project development will require new access driveways and intersection improvements; however, they will be planned, reviewed by , and coordinated with the City such that safety and operational conflicts are effectively reduced. The mix of vehicles associated with the Project is expected to generally include construction vehicles, passenger vehicles, and delivery trucks, which is co mpatible with vehicles currently in the area; no conflicts are anticipated. The proposed Project is not expected to substantially increase any type of transportation hazard and impacts are expected to be less than significant.

Attachment: Attachment 5 - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (3397 : PUD 21-001 Cathedral Cove Center) Cathedral Cove Center Initial Study

July 2022 83
d) No Impact. Currently, the Project site can be accessed via Van Fleet Avenue, East Palm Canyon Drive, and D Street (future residential). Regional access to the site will be provided via the East Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), I-10 freeway, major arterials, secondary arterials and a variety of local roads.

Prior to construction, both the Fire Department and Police Department will review the site plan to ensure safety measures are addressed, including emergency access and geometric design.

Therefore, the proposed Project will not result in inadequate emergency access or increase hazards due to a geometric design feature. There will be no impact.

Mitigation Measures:

TRA-1 The Project is required to pay the requisite CVAG TUMF fee.

TRA-2 Each drive-through occupant shall prepare a vehicle stacking management plan demonstrating appropriate emergency vehicle access and access to handicap parking stalls are retained in the event of overflow vehicle stacking.

TRA-3 In order to assure that the inte rsections of Cathedral Canyon/Dinah Shore and Date Palm/Ramon operate at acceptable levels of service at General Plan build out, the following condition of approval shall be implemented:

The City shall be responsible for monitoring conditions at the inte rsections of Cathedral Canyon/Dinah Shore and Date Palm/Ramon and providing improvements to those intersections through its Capital Improvement Program, and local, State or federal funding at such time as the improvements are warranted.

Monitoring:

TRA-A The Project applicant shall coordinate with the City and CVAG the payment of CVAG’s TUMF fee.

Responsible Parties: Project applicant, CVAG, City Engineer.

TRA-B The Project applicant shall coordinate with future drive-through tenants the preparation of a vehicle stacking management plan to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior occupancy of the building.

Responsible Parties: Project applicant, drive-through tenants, City Engineer.

Environmental Setting

As discussed above in Section V, Cultural Resources, Cahuilla Indians inhabited the valley for centuries.

They were a Takic-speaking people of hunters and gatherers generally divided into three groups based on their geographic setting: the Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass – Palm Springs area; the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains and t he Cahuilla Valley; and the Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley. Today, Native Americans of Pass or Desert Cahuilla heritage are mostly affiliated with the Indian reservations around the Coachella Valley, including the Cabazon, Augustine, Torres Martinez, Twenty-nine Palms, Agua Caliente, and Morongo.

The subject property is located in a traditional use area of the Cahuilla but does not occur within a tribal reservation. The potential for the subject property to harbor tribal cultural resources, such as a site, feature, place, or cultural landscape , is considered to be very low given the disturbed nature of the site. It was developed with residential and commercial land uses between approximately the 1920s and 2016 ; since then, all buildings ha ve been demolished, and the site has been mass graded . A site-specific cultural resources report was prepared that further evaluates and addresses the potential for the site to harbor such resources.

a. i), ii) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated . Based on historical/archaeological resources record searches and historical background research conducted by qualified professional archaeologists, no historical or archaeological resources were identified, nor are any expected on the Project site that would be listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k).

In addition, the City is currently undertaking Tribal Consultation in conformance with AB 52.

Should Tribes request consultation and provide input on potential impacts, they will be included in conditions of approval and/or mitigation measures to this Initial Study.

The City completed Tribal consultation in conformance with AB 52. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians responded in a letter dated April 29, 2022 indicating that the site is within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area and requested the following:

• A cultural resources inventory of the project area by a qualified archaeologist prior to any development activities in the area.
• A copy of the records search with associated survey reports and site records from the information center.
• Copies of any cultural resource docu mentation (report and site records) generated in connection with this project.
• The presence of an approved Aqua Caliente Native Amercian Cultural Resource Monitor(s) during any ground disturbing activities (including archaeological testing and surveys).

To protect potential tribal cultural resources, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 is included in Section V, consistent with the findings of the cultural resource investigation, to require monitoring of ground disturbing activities, which would reduce the impacts to Tribal Resources to less than significant levels.

Environmental Setting

The Desert Water Agency (DWA) provides domestic water to development south and west of the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel in Cathedral City , including the subject property. Nearly all development in DWA’s service area, including development in the Cove and the downtown district, is connected to its water delivery system. DWA also provides wastewater collection service to this area, including the subject property. DWA does not operate a wastewater treatment plant, and its wastewater collection system is connected to CVWD’s sewer system through which wastewater is conveyed to the Cook Street wastewater treatment plant in Palm Desert. For purposes of this Project, the management of stormwater is under the jurisdiction of the City.

Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services provides solid waste disposal services through a franchise agreement with the City and will be responsible for collection and disposal of solid waste from the Project site. Trash and recycled materials are collected from customers and transported to the Edom Hill transfer station facility operated by Burrtec. The transfer station at Edom Hill is permitted to receive 3,500 tons of waste per day. From there solid waste is taken to the Lamb Canyon landfill in Beaumont, whic h has a permitted capacity of 5,000 tons per day, and a projected closure date in 2029. Other possible options include Badlands Landfill in Moreno Valley and El Sobrante Landfill in Corona. The County of Riverside operates Lamb Canyon and Badlands landfills, and El Sobrante Landfill is privately owned.

Discussion of Impacts

a - c) Less Than Significant Impact.

Water
DWA will provide domestic water for the Project. The residential and commercial uses within the Project will connect to existing major trunk lines located under East Palm Canyon Drive. As discussed under Hydrology and Water Quality, the total water demand for the proposed Project would be 37.52 acre-feet per year. DWAs largest water supply source is groundwater from the Whitewater River Basin. DWA works with five other Coachella Valley water suppliers to manage the underground water basins and to better serve the City. DWA and CVWD have access to or are working to obtain other water supply sources to meet projected water needs and help eliminate groundwater overdraft.

The proposed Project is consistent with the land use designation assigned to it in the General Plan, on which, in part, DWA based its future water demand analysis when contributing to the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan ( RUWMP). According to the 2020 RUWMP, DW A anticipat es a total water demand (deliveries) of 36,228 AF in 202 5. 20 The proposed Project will increase water demand (expected DWA deliveries) by 0. 1% over the projected 2025 demand.

The project will be required to comply with the DWA’s water -efficiency requirements, including the use of drought-tolerant planting materials and limited landscaping irrigation. Buildings will be equipped with water efficient fixtures in compliance with Building Code requirements to reduce water consumption. Implementation of these and other applicable requirements will assure that water-related impacts remain at less than significant levels. The residential and commercial uses within the Project will connect to existing major trunk lines located under East Palm Canyon Drive.

Therefore, project impacts associated with domestic water demand are expected to be less than significant.

Wastewater
DWA and CVWD provide wastewater collection and treatment services, respectively, for the Project site, and CVWD is currently treating and recycling City-generated wastewater at Cook Street W astewater Reclamation Plant (WRP -10). In response to increasing demands for groundwater supplies in the Coachella Valley, CVWD has implemented the use of tertiary (third- stage) treated wastewater for the irrigation of golf courses and other landscaped areas. WRP -10 has a tertiary water capacity of 15 million gallons per day.

The Project site is currently undeveloped with the exception of the northwestern corner which is paved with some parking spaces . Upon buildout of the Project, wastewater generated from the proposed Project would be collected in DWA sewer mains. The proposed Project will require construction of on-site sewer infrastruc ture to connect to the existing sewer mains. Sewage will

likely be conveyed to the CVWD’s sewer system by a DWA lift station at Date Palm Drive and Buddy Rogers Drive . The Project wastewater discharges will be typical of residential and commercial uses. No industrial discharge into the wastewater system would occur.

Stormwater
Storm water infrastructure within the City consists of a network of regional and local drainage channels. Ultimately, all major storm flows in the City are conveyed to the Whitewater/Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel, which discharges into the Salton Sea. The proposed Project will not discharge into either regional or local drainages. Rather, it will manage stormwater on-site with a retention basin and potentially an underground system.

As required by the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.) and the California Water Code (CWC) (commencing with section 13000), a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan will be prepared for the Project. As disc ussed above in Section X, Hydrology and Water Resources, the Project site will incorporate BMPs for construction and post -construction conditions, designed to control pollutants that enter the on -site and off -site system, and is not expected to affect water quality. A final hydrologic analysis will be required to demonstrate that the Project meets the City’s standards. These standard requirements will assure that impacts associated with storm water retention remain less than significant.

Other Utilities
The proposed Project will require construction of on -site electric power, natural gas, and telecommunications infrastructure to connect to the existing infrastructure located around the Project site. The Project would not result in the construction of new electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities off-site that could cause significant environmental effects.

d, e) Less Than Significant Impact. Construction and operations-related solid waste from the Project will be collected and disposed by Burrtec, a regional commercial vendor that serves the City by hauling solid waste to transfer and recycling centers and landfills . Burrtec also collects and recycles construction waste. County landfills have a combined remaining capacity of 181,365,899 cubic yard, with a maximum permitted capacity of 266,159,998 cubic yard. 21 The project will generate 156.82 tons of solid waste per year, or 78.41 tons per year after 50% diversion as shown below.

Environmental Setting

Wildfire is a nonstructural fire that occurs in vegetative f uels, excluding prescribed fire. Wildfires can occur in undeveloped areas and spread to urban areas where landscape and structures are not designed and maintained to be ignition resistant. A wildland-urban interface (WUI) is an area where urban development is located in proximity to open space or “wildland” areas. The potential for wildland fires represents a hazard where development is adjacent to open space or within close proximity to wildland fuels or designated fire severity zones.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) has mapped areas of significant fire hazards in the state through its Fire and Resources Assessment Program (FRAP). These maps place areas of the state into different Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) base d on a hazard scoring system using subjective criteria for fuels, fire history, terrain influences, housing density, and occurrence of severe fire weather where urban conflagration could result in catastrophic losses. The subject property is not located in or near a state responsibility area or designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ).

Several parcels in the southeasterly and southwesterly portions of the City are designated as VHFHSZ, including one approximately ½ mile to the east, one approximately 1 mile to the west, and one more than 1 mile to the west of the subject property.

To reduce wildfire risks, the City of Cathedral City has incorporated state requirements with the adoption of the 2019 edition of the California Building Standards Code and the 2019 edition of the California Fire Code.

Discussion of Impacts

a) Less than Significant Impact. The subject property is not located in or near a state responsibility area or lands classified as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The Project does not propose major long-term changes to circulation in the Project area other than providing direct access to the subject property . Project construction could result in temporary lane closures or detours , particularly as new driveway and inte rsection improvements are made ; however, potential disruptions to emergency access would be temporary and coordinated with and approved by the City. The Project will not alter the physical orientation of the planning area that it would interfere with the City’s emergency response or evacuation procedures in the event of a wildfire. The Project does not propose changes to existing emergency response facilities or personnel. Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

b) Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is not located in or near a state responsibility area or lands classified as a Very High F ire Hazard Severity Zone. Given its proximity to the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Project may expose occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire in the mountains. However, the foothills in Cathedral City are characterized by rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, and wildfire risks have been historically very low. Impacts are expected to be less than significant.

c) Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is not located within or near a state responsibility area or classified as a Very High Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone. Installation or maintenance of utility infrastructure (such as emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) may be required as the Project becomes operational, but with low likelihood because the subject property is in an urban area and utility infrastructure is already installed in the immediate Project area.

Onsite connections are not expected to exacerbate fire risk or result in ongoing impacts to the environment. Impacts related to infrastructure are expected to be less than significant.

d) Less than Significant Impact. As discussed in Section VII .a.iv, above, the Project site has very low potential for landslide and post-fire slope instability given its generally flat terrain with less than 5% sloping grade. The Project site is classified as an area with reduced flood risk due to levees (protected from 1% annual chance flood by levees) on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Therefore, the proposed Project is not expected to expose people or structures to significant risks such as downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. Impacts are expected to be less than significant.

of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self -
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, substantially 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?
✓
b) 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 the effects of
probable future Projects)?
✓
c) Does the Project have environmental
effects, which will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either di rectly or
indirectly?
✓

a) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated:

Biological Resources: The Project site is not located within a CVMSHCP-designated conservation area and does not contain any wildlife corridors or biological linkage areas. However, on -site vegetation could provide habitat for nesting birds; therefore, a pre -construction surv ey will be required to avoid impacts to nesting birds covered by the MBTA and to burrowing owl. In addition, the site is subject to payment of the Development Mitigation Fee to mitigate potential impacts to covered species under the CVMSHCP.

The proposed Project will not significantly reduce fish or wildlife habitat or otherwise adversely impact a fish or wildlife species. The construction of the Project has the potential to impact nesting birds, but the mitigation measures included in this document will reduce those impacts to less than significant levels.

Cultural Resources: No cultural resources are known to exist within or adjacent to the project site.

Since the project will require excavation, there is potential for unknown resources to be uncovered.

Mitigation measures provided in this document will ensure that impacts to cultural and/or tribal resources are less than significant in the unlikely event that resources are discovered during project development.

Overall, there will be no significant env ironmental impacts which cannot be mitigated. Project related impacts, including cumulative impacts, are considered less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact . A significant impact could occur if the proposed Project , in conjunction with related projects, would result in impacts that would be less than significant when viewed separately, but would be significant when viewed together. Here, however, the impacts of the proposed Project are individually limited and not c umulatively considerable. The proposed Project is consistent with the development envisioned for the Downtown area of the City in the City’s General Plan. All environmental impacts that could occur as a result of the proposed Project would be less than sig nificant with the implementation of mitigation measures included herein, and when viewed in conjunction with other closely related past, present or reasonably foreseeable future projects, would not be significant.

c) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will not have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, with the implementation of the City’s Municipal Code, other standard requirements and requirements of law, and the mitigation measures included in this document.

Table of Contents OBJECTIVE
The objective of the following sign criteria is to provide standards and specifications that assure consistent quality, size, variety and placement for Tenant signs throughout this project. This criteria is also intended to stimulate creative invention and achieve the highest standard of excellence in environmental graphic communication. Such excellence is best achieved through open and frequent dialogue between Tenant, Landlord, and the project’s graphic design consultant. Signage at Cathedral Cove Center is an integral part of the center’s image and appeal, so signs must be thoughtfully designed, placed and proportioned to the individual architectural facade on which they are placed. Care in the design and installation of store signs will enhance customer appreciation.

OVERVIEW
The overview of this criteria is to assist the Landlord/Tenant and City relationship.

The Landlord will be responsible to:
•
P
rovide base building design and construction information requested by Tenant’s sign design consultant. •
Review, comment and approve T
enant sign submission.

In return, the Tenant will be responsible for:
•
Design, fabrication, permitting and inst
allation of signs, including any structural support and electrical service and any special installation requiring addition or modification to the shell building approved by the Landlord.

TENANT WALL SIGNS
• Sign area allowed for eac h Tenant shall be calculated as follows: One and one-half (1.5) square feet of sign area per each linear foot of Tenant’s leased storefront. Tenants who have frontages facing a parking lot or street are allowed signage on each of those elevations.
•
T
he maximum width of any Tenant’s storefront sign may not exceed 75% of the Tenant’s leased storefront. •
One (1) or two (2) lines of copy permitted and may consist of upper and/or lower case letters. •
Secondar
y sign copy is permitted, but will be included as part of the overall allowable sign area, and together with the primary sign copy, shall not exceed the total allowable square footage of the sign area permitted by the tenant’s frontage, 150 square feet max per elevation.
•
In no case may a sign extend beyond the roof parapet or adjacent building eave line. •
Signs are not allowed on or against any roof structures. •
All signs shall be measured for area by drawing a shape (rect angular or other) around each element of the
individual sign. For example, measure the area of letters and area of icon and/or logo separately. Ascender and descenders will not be calculated in the overall sign area except capital letters. •
Note: It is specifically noted that the size of all T
enant storefront signs is not regulated by any height limit / maximum. It is governed as stated above, being square feet of allowable area and stretch-out (width) limitations. •
All submissions outside of the above shall be reviewed by the Planning Director for approval.

CALCULATING SQUARE FOOT:

Deviation from requirements:

When it is found that the strict or literal interpretation of the provisions set forth in this criteria would cause undue difficulties and unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the purpose and intent of this criteria, a minor deviation may be granted subject to specific requirements and findings as set forth below.
•
T
he sign is in proportion to the structure or use to which it relates. •
T
he sign’s external features are in balance and unity, and present a harmonious appearance. •
T
he sign is consistent with the objectives of the overall general plan.

WALL SIGN STYLES
There are many acceptable sign treatments, however a Mixed Media *three-dimensional approach combining several different fabrication and lighting techniques is preferred. Tenants are strongly encouraged to consider the specific architectural style of their facade, the overall concept of the project, the scale of the proposed sign and the critical viewing angles and sight lines when designing appropriate graphics and signs for the storefront.

Note that specific locations and surrounding architectural treatments can limit the maximum sign height and length, which may differ from the general guidelines proposed above. The Landlord reserves the right to approve or reject any proposed sign on the basis of the size and placement.
* Mixed Media signs are signs employing two or more illumination and fabrication methods.

For example: Halo lit reverse channel letters with exposed neon accents.

Also, although simple rectangular cabinet signs are not allowed, mixed media signs may be composed of elements, one of which may be a panel or cabinet. However, the panel / cabinet sign should not exceed 50% of the total sign area. With the Landlord approval, complex shaped (i.e Polyhedron) sign cabinets which is part of a national logo, may be used alone if they incorporate dimensional elements such as push-through letters.

Acceptable sign styles for wall mounted signs:

1. St
andard front-illuminated channel letters

2. T
rim-capless channel letters

3. T
rim-capless channel letters with push-thru acrylic

4. Halo-illuminated c
hannel letters, 3” deep, minimum

5. Mixed media / dimensional signs using images, icons, logos, etc.

6. Exposed neon if used as an accent, subject to approval by the Landlord and the Cit y of Cathedral City, California as applicable.

Item No. 6.A

Meeting Date: September 14, 2022
From: Eugenia Torres, Human Resources Manager
Title: Adoption of Personnel Rules for all City Employees

City Council

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Personnel Rules for all City Employees and Rescind the Human Resources Policies

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 2.40 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code establishes an equitable and uniform system for dealing with personnel matters and ensures compliance with applicable laws relating to the admini stration of the personnel process . The terms used to administer the personnel system shall be defined in the personnel rules. Chapter 2.40.030 of the Municipal Code states the C ity Manager shall administer the city personnel system , which includes the preparation and recommendation to the City Council personnel rules and revisions and amendments as necessary.

Our records indicate that on July 1, 1987, Personnel Rules were established which outlined general provisions, hiring procedures, pay, and policies.

Our records also indicate that on July 16, 1990, the Personnel Rules were replaced by the Human Resources Policies , which is a shorter version and only contains provisions that established policies applicable to employment practices.

Many of the pro visions in the Personnel Rules were written into the individual Memorandum of Understandings (MOU’s) as well as the Regulations Covering Executive, Administrative, Professional, Confidential and Other Particular Employees (Non-Rep).

DISCUSSION:

It has b een over 20 years since the City has had comprehensive Personnel Rules to provide to employees with answers to common questions and policy information.

Throughout the years, administrative policies have been established, language has been restated, clarif ied, eliminated, and added to the extent that all the policies and practices being followed are not in one central document.

6.A
Packet Pg. 567

Cathedral City Page 2 of 2 Printed on 9/13/2022
Over the past year, City Staff has met with employer groups to discuss the proposed new Personnel Rules, which will be in addition to all the MOU’s and Non-Rep Rules and Regulations covering Executive, Administrative, Professional, Confidential and other Particular Employees.

The focus was to expand the Human Resources Policies to include current employment practices, general prov isions, hiring procedures, and combine administrative, Federal and State policies in a centralized document.

The proposed Personnel Rules creates one document that clarifies procedures and provides guidance to the administration of the personnel process as directed in the Municipal Code.

The proposed Personnel Rules are provided to the City Council for consideration and adoption. The City Manager will recommend any amendments as necessary for Council consideration in the future.

By adopting the Personnel Rules, the Human Resources Policies approved on July 16, 1990 will be rescinded.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

a) Speech, such as epithets, jokes, derogatory comments or slurs, and propositioning. This includes inappropriate comments about appearance, dress, physical features, gender
identification, or race-oriented stories and jokes.
b) Physical acts, such as assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching, or physical interference with normal work or movement. This includes pinching, grabbing, patting, or making explicit or implied job threats or promises in return for submission to physical acts.
c) Visual acts, such as derogatory posters, cartoons, emails, pictures or drawings related to a protected classification.
d) Unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other acts of a sexual nature, where submission is made a term or condition of employment , where submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions, or where the conduct is intended to or actually does unreasonably interfere with an individual’s work performance or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

204.2.4.1 Guidelines for Identifying Harassment

Harassment includes any conduct that would be
unwelcome or unwanted to an individual. The
following guidelines to determine if conduct is
unwelcomed or unwanted should be followed:

6.A.a
Packet Pg. 581
Attachment: Personnel Rules 09.2022 (3158 : Personnel Rules)

Personnel Policies | September 2022 Page 14

a) It is no defense that the recipient “appears” to
have consented to the conduct at issue by failing
to protest about the conduct. A recipient may
not protest for many legitimate reasons,
including the need to avoid being insubordinate
or to avoid being ostracized or subjected to
retaliation.
b) Simply because no one has complained about a
joke, gesture, picture, physical contact, or
comment does not mean that the conduct is
welcome. Harassment can evolve over time.

Small, isolated incidents might be tolerated up to
a point. The fact that no one has yet
complained does not preclud e someone from
complaining if the conduct is repeated in the
future.
c) Even visual, verbal, or physical conduct between
two people who appear to welcome the conduct
can constitute harassment of a third person who
witnesses the conduct or learns about the
conduct later. Conduct can constitute
harassment even if it is not explicitly or
specifically directed at a particular individual.
d) Conduct can constitute harassment even if the
individual has no intention to harass. Even
well-intentioned conduct can violate this Policy
if an individual would find it offensive (e.g., gifts,
over-attention, endearing nicknames, hugs).

204.2.5 Retaliation

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse conduct against a covered individual because of the individual’s protected activity as defined in this Policy. “Adverse conduct” may include but is not limited to: (1) disciplinary action; (2) counseling; (3) taking sides because an individual has reported harassment or discrimination; (4) spreading rumors about a complainant or about someone who supports or assists the complainant; (5) shunning or avoiding an individual who reports harassment or discrimina tion; or (6) making real or implied threats of intimidation to prevent or deter an individual from reporting harassment or discrimination.

Those desiring to take a lactation break at times other than their provided break times must notify a supervisor prior to taking such a break. Breaks may be reasonably delayed if they would seriously disrupt operations. Once a lactation break has been approved, the break should not be interrupted except for emergency or exigent circumstances.

602.8 Excessive Tardiness/Absenteeism and Abuse of Leave

Excessive tardiness occurs when an overtime -eligible employee who, without authorization, is late to work or late to return from breaks more than three times during any 30 -day period. Excessive absenteeism occurs when the number of unapproved absences for reasons that are not permitted by state or federal law, exceeds three days in any three -month period. Excessive ta rdiness or absenteeism may be grounds for discipline.

Abuse of leave is a claim of entitlement to leave when the employee does not meet the requirements for taking the leave, and may be grounds for discipline.

604.1 Work Week

The workweek begins a t 12:00 a.m. on Sunday and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, except as otherwise designated in an applicable MOU, or by a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 29 USC § 207(k) work period for fire and police employees.

604.2 Overtime

Overtime is all hours an overtime-eligible employee actually works over 40 hours in their designated work week unless otherwise specified in an MOU . Only actual hours worked will be counted toward the 40 -hour threshold for purposes of calculating Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime pay; paid leave will not be counted unless expr essly outlined in an MOU . Overtime -eligible employees who are directed to work overtime must do so.

604.2.1 No Remote Access for Overtime-Eligible Employees

Unless the Human Resources Manager specifies otherwise in writing, overtime-eligible employees may not have remote access to City of Cathedral City equipment, resources, or email.

604.2.2 Prior Approval Required for Overtime

6.A.a
Packet Pg. 606
Attachment: Personnel Rules 09.2022 (3158 : Personnel Rules)

Personnel Policies | September 2022 Page 39

a supervisor as soon as possible, and in no event later than the end of that day upon which the emergency occurred. If the supervisor denies the request to work overtime, the employee must obey the supervisor’s directive and cease working. Failure to follow these overtime approval procedures may subject the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, for violating the overtime approval procedures.

604.3 Accurate Time Reporting

All hours worked must be acc urately reflected in the timekeeping system.

Recorded time must accurately reflect all regular and overtime hours worked, absences, late arrivals and early departures. Employees must accurately report all work time to the nearest five minutes.

If an employee’s recorded time is not accurate, the employee should notify their supervisor before approving their time. Upon receipt of a paycheck, the employee should verify that the paycheck accurately reflects all regular and overtime hours worked during the pay period.

Any attempt to falsify a time record is strictly prohibited. Any instruction by a manager or supervisor to an employee to falsify a time record is also strictly prohibited. Falsifying a time record may include, but is not limited to, incorrectly or falsely under reporting or over reporting time worked, and altering another employee’s time record to inaccurately or falsely report an employee’s hours worked. If an employee becomes aware of a falsified time record or an attempt to falsify a time record, the employee should immediately report and notify this to their supervisor, a member of management, or the Office of Human Resources.

Employees who consistently miss time reporting will be subject to disciplinary action.

604.3.1 Professional Work Week:

Exempt employees are generally expected to work a “professional work week,” which, for full-time employment, equates to forty hours a week, but can often mean more hours. Exempt employees are expected to work as many hours required to meet their job responsibilities, including evenings, weekends, and extended travel, if necessary. Under the FLSA, exempt employees are not eligible for paid overtime or compensatory time. It is, however, generally expected exempt employees will communicate, in advance, with their supervisor about scheduled absences during their typical working hours to ensure that absences do not interfere with their job responsibilities and impact the work of the office and their teammates.

6.A.a
Packet Pg. 607
Attachment: Personnel Rules 09.2022 (3158 : Personnel Rules)

Personnel Policies | September 2022 Page 40

604.3.2 Partial Day Absences:

Exempt employees can be expected to use leave accruals for partial day absences. Partial day absences are intended to acknowledge the hard work and long hours worked by employee, while accommodating the associated challenge of taking care of personal business, when necessary.

This does not mean, however, that partial day absences may be used on a regular basis as a form of compensatory leave, or to change the agreed upon work schedule. If a supervisor believes partial day absences are being us ed inappropriately, the supervisor should clarify expectations.

Unlike absences covered by accrued leave, the expectation is an employee will complete their duties within the normal timelines, when they utilize partial day absences.

604.3.3 Exempt Employee Responsibility:

Follow your department/unit request for leave procedures, requiring Supervisor approval for using leave time. Leave time shall be reported in half-day (normally 4 hours for 5/8 schedule: 5 hours for 4/10 schedule: 3 hours for 6-hour shifts) increments when working less than half-day. No leave shall be recorded when working more than half-day.

Where an exempt employee has exhausted all available accrued vacation and float leaves, the employee’s salary may be reduced for full -day absences due to personal reasons. Employees shall report leave taken under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and California Family Rights Act (CFRA) by completing the required FMLA/CFRA forms.

604.4 No Volunteering of Work Time

All time spent for th e benefit of the City of Cathedral City must be reported as hours worked on time records so that the employee is paid for all work. Overtime -eligible employees may not “volunteer” work time to perform duties that are the same or similar as their stated or regular job duties. Employees have no authorization to work without compensation. No supervisor has authority to request overtime - eligible employees to volunteer work time.
