MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Impact Category Mitigation Measures Action Required Implementation Timing Responsible Agency Compliance Verification Initial Date Comments Air Resources AIR-1: Should building construction and architectural coatings/painting occur simultaneously, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content should be no greater than 45 grams VOC per liter for interior paint.
AIR-A: The Project contractor shall provide the City’s Building Department with written substantiation that paint to be used for the Project does not exceed 45 grams VOC per liter prior to the initiation of any building coating.
During Construction. City Building Department inspection
Biological Resources BIO-1: Nesting bird nesting season generally extends from February 1 through September 15 in southern California and specifically, March 15 through August 31 for migratory passerine birds. To avoid impacts to nesting birds (common and special status) during the nesting season, a qualified Avian Biologist will conduct pre-construction Nesting Bird Surveys (NBS) no more than 3-days prior to Project-related disturbance to nestable vegetation to identify any active nests. If no active nests are found, no further action will be required. If an active nest is found, the biologist will set appropriate no-work buffers around the nest which will be based upon the nesting species, its sensitivity to disturbance, nesting stage, and expected types, intensity, and duration of the disturbance. The nests and buffer zones shall be field-checked weekly by a qualified biological monitor. The approved no-work buffer zone shall be clearly BIO-A: If the initial site grating occurs between March 15 and September 15, provide written evidence to the City’s Building Department that a pre-construction nesting bird survey has occurred within three days prior to issuance of the grading permit.
Prior to any land disturbance. Project applicant, project biologist, Planning Department, City Engineer.

Impact Category Mitigation Measures Action Required Implementation Timing Responsible Agency Compliance Verification Initial Date Comments marked in the field, within which no disturbance activity shall commence until the qualified biologist has determined the young birds have successfully fledged and the nest is inactive. Cultural Resources CUL-1: An approved Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall be on-site during any ground disturbing activities (including grubbing, grading and excavation). Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor may request that destructive construction halt. 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 submission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office.
CUL-A Prior to issuance of grading permits, demonstrate contract with ACBCI for archaeological monitoring. Within 30 days following completion of monitoring, a report of findings will be provided to the City.
Prior to any ground disturbance and during Construction.

Noise NOI-1 Consistent with the Land Use Compatibility Matrix and prior to issuance of grading permit, a detailed sound attenuation study is necessary to verify the Project will achieve a minimum 25 dBA interior noise reduction, specifically for apartment homes located adjacent to Date Palm Drive.
NOI-A: Provide detailed sound attenuation study to the City’s Building Department to verify the Project will achieve a minimum 25 dBA interior noise reduction, specifically for apartment homes located adjacent to Date Palm Drive prior to issuance of the grading permit.
During building plan check. Project applicant, project biologist, Planning Department, City Engineer
