1. Be on the site for fewer than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days; or
2. Be fully licensed and ready for highway use. A recreational vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions; or
3. Meet the permit requirements of Section 15.56.150 of this chapter and the elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured homes in Section 15.56.200(A). (Ord. 1005 § 2 (part), 2008: Ord. 1002 § 2 (part), 2008)
15.56.220 Floodways.
Since floodways are an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
A. Until a regulatory floodway is adopted, no new construction, substantial development, or other development (including fill) shall be permitted within zones A1-30 and AE, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point within the city of Coachella.
B. Within an adopted regulatory floodway, the city of Coachella shall prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development, unless certification by a registered civil engineer is provided demonstrating that the proposed encroachment shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
C. If Sections 15.56.220(A) and (B) are satisfied, all new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V.
(Ord. 1005 § 2 (part), 2008: Ord. 1002 § 2 (part), 2008) Article VI Variance Procedure
15.56.230 Nature of variances.
The issuance of a variance is for floodplain management purposes only. Insurance premium rates are determined by statute according to actuarial risk and will not be modified by the granting of a variance.
The variance criteria set forth in this section of the ordinance are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be granted for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of this chapter would create an exceptional hardship to the applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure, its inhabitants, or the property owners.
It is the duty of the city council to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below flood level are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long term goal of preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines provided in this chapter are more detailed and contain multiple provisions that must be met before a variance can

(Supp. No. 24)
be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate.
(Ord. 1005 § 2 (part), 2008: Ord. 1002 § 2 (part), 2008)
15.56.240 Conditions for variances.
A. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing that the procedures of Articles IV and V of this chapter have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
B. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of "historic structures" (as defined in Section
15.56.050 of this chapter) upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
C. Variances shall not be issued within any mapped regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
D. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the "minimum necessary" considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. "Minimum necessary" means to afford relief with a minimum of deviation from the requirements of this chapter. For example, in the case of variances to an elevation requirement, this means the city council need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only to that elevation which the city council believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local ordinance.
E. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that:
1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for one hundred dollars ($100.00) of insurance coverage; and
2. Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. It is recommended that a copy of the notice shall be recorded by the floodplain administrator in the office of the Riverside County recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.
F. The floodplain administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued in its biennial report submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

15.56.250 Appeal board.
A. In passing upon requests for variances, the city council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and the:
1. Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
2. Danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
Item 23.
Created: 2022-06-06 10:55:01 [EST]
(Supp. No. 24)
3. Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the existing individual owner and future owners of the property;
4. Importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;
5. Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
6. Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
7. Compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
8. Relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area;
9. Safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;
10. Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site; and
11. Costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water system, and streets and bridges.
B. Variances shall only be issued upon a:
1. Showing of good and sufficient cause;
2. Determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional "hardship" to the applicant; and
3. Determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (see "Public safety and nuisance"), cause "fraud and victimization" of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
C. Variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of subsections A through D of this section are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and does not result in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public nuisance.
D. Upon consideration of the factors of Section 15.56.240(A) and the purposes of this chapter, the city council may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.

1.0 ALLUVIAL FAN ADVISORY
Hazards of Alluvial Fan Development
Alluvial fans present a unique flood hazard environment where the combination of sediment, slope, and topography create an ultra hazardous condition for which elevation on fill will not provide reliable protection.
Item 23.
Title 15 - BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
Chapter 15.56 - FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT*
APPENDIX
Coachella, California, Code of Ordinances Created: 2022-06-06 10:55:01 [EST] (Supp. No. 24)
Active alluvial fan flooding is characterized by flow path uncertainty combined with abrupt deposition and erosion.
As a result, any area of an alluvial fan may be subject to intense flood hazards.
The technology of mathematically modeling the hydrodynamics of water and debris flows for alluvial fans is still in the early development stage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has formulated a mapping procedure for the purpose of defining the likelihood of flood hazards on inundated alluvial fan zones to be used for flood insurance purposes and general floodplain regulation, referred to as the FEMA alluvial fan methodology.
An active alluvial fan flooding hazard is indicated by three related criteria:
a. Flow path uncertainty below the hydrographic apex;
b. Abrupt deposition and ensuing erosion of sediment as a stream or debris flow loses its competence to carry material eroded from a steeper, upstream source area; and c. An environment where the combination of sediment availability, slope, and topography creates an ultra hazardous condition for which elevation on fill will not reliably mitigate the risk.
Inactive alluvial fan flooding is similar to traditional riverine flood hazards, but occurs only on alluvial fans. It is characterized by flow paths with a higher degree of certainty in realistic assessments of flood risk or in the reliable mitigation of the hazard. Counter to active alluvial fan flooding hazards, an inactive alluvial fan flooding hazard is characterized by relatively stable flow paths. However, areas of inactive alluvial fan flooding, as with active alluvial fan flooding, may be subject to sediment deposition and erosion, but to a degree that does not cause flow path instability and uncertainty.
An alluvial fan may exhibit both active alluvial fan flooding and inactive alluvial fan flooding hazards. The hazards may vary spatially or vary at the same location, contingent on the level of flow discharge. Spatially, for example, upstream inactive portions of the alluvial fan may distribute flood flow to active areas at the distal part of the alluvial fan. Hazards may vary at the same location, for example, with a flow path that may be stable for lower flows, but become unstable at higher flows.
More detailed information can be found at FEMA's website: "Guidelines for Determining Flood Hazards on Alluvial Fans" at http://www.fema.gov/fhm/ft_afgd2.shtm#1.
Alluvial Fans and LOMR's
The NFIP does not allow for the removal of land from the floodplain based on the placement of fill (LOMR-F) in alluvial fan flood hazard areas. The NFIP will credit a major structural flood control project, through the LOMR process, that will effectively eliminate alluvial fan flood hazards from the protected area. Details about map revisions for alluvial fan areas can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations at Title 44, Part 65.13.
Alluvial Fan Task Force
As stated in AB 2141 (Longville, Chapter 878, Statutes of 2004), the State of California Department of Water Resources will convene an Alluvial Fan Task Force (AFTF). The AFTF will produce an alluvial fan model ordinance for local communities and a recommendations report to the legislature. As of March 2006, the ordinance and report are projected to be completed by 2007.
2.0 HIGHER STANDARDS RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA This ordinance meets the minimum standards required to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Community adoption of higher standards can be applied towards credit under the Community Rating System (CRS) program and result in reduced premiums for all flood insurance policy holders within the entire community. The State of California recommends:

A. Freeboard.
• To elevate at least 2 feet above the minimum required base flood elevation, make the following changes:
1. Modify Sections 5.1.C.1.a, 5.1.C.1.C, and 5.4.A.1 by replacing "elevated to or above" with "elevated 2 feet above."
2. Modify Section 5.4.B.1 by replacing "at or above" with "at least 2 feet above."
3. Replace Section 5.1.C.1.b with:
In an AO zone, elevated above the highest adjacent grade to a height 2 feet above the depth number specified in feet on the FIRM, or elevated at least 4 feet above the highest adjacent grade if no depth number is specified.
B. Determining BFE's in Unnumbered A Zones.
• Replace "may" with "shall" in the second paragraph of Section 4.2.C to read:
"NOTE: A base flood elevation shall…"
C. Determining Market Value of Existing Structures.
• Replace the "Market value" definition in Section 2 with:
"Market value" shall be determined by estimating the cost to replace the structure in new condition and adjusting that cost figure by the amount of depreciation which has accrued since the structure was constructed.
1. The cost of replacement of the structure shall be based on a square foot cost factor determined by reference to a building cost estimating guide recognized by the building construction industry.
2. The amount of depreciation shall be determined by taking into account the age and physical deterioration of the structure and functional obsolescence as approved by the floodplain administrator, but shall not include economic or other forms of external obsolescence.
Use of replacement costs or accrued depreciation factors different from those contained in recognized building cost estimating guides may be considered only if such factors are included in a report prepared by an independent professional appraiser and supported by a written explanation of the differences.
D. Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) Coverage—Repetitive Loss Provisions.
This provision allows communities the opportunity for flood insurance policy holders to have ICC coverage made available in repetitive loss situations.
• Modify the definition of "Substantial damage" as follows:
"Substantial damage" means:
1. Damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred; or
2. Flood-related damages sustained by a structure on two separate occasions during a 10-year period for which the cost of repairs at the time of each such event, on the average, equals

This is also known as "repetitive loss."
E. Non-conversion of Enclosed Areas Below the Lowest Floor. • Insert/add the following section as Section 4.2.J.
A. Non-conversion of Enclosed Areas Below the Lowest Floor.
To ensure that the areas below the BFE shall be used solely for parking vehicles, limited storage, or access to the building and not be finished for use as human habitation without first becoming fully compliant with the floodplain management ordinance in effect at the time of conversion, the Floodplain Administrator shall:
1. Determine which applicants for new construction and/or substantial improvements have fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are 5 feet or higher;
2. Enter into a "NON-CONVERSION AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION WITHIN FLOOD HAZARD AREAS" or equivalent with the City of Coachella. The agreement shall be recorded with the County of Riverside County Recorder as a deed restriction. The non-conversion agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the Floodplain Administrator and County Counsel; and
3. Have the authority to inspect any area of a structure below the base flood elevation to ensure compliance upon prior notice of at least 72 hours.
3.0 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Crawlspace Construction.
Communities with construction practices that result in crawl spaces with interior floors up to 2 feet below grade have historically been in violation of the NFIP requirements. FEMA Technical Bulletin 11- 01 now provides accommodation for these practices.
• Remove the following from "Lowest floor" definition in Section 2:
2. For residential structures, all subgrade enclosed areas are prohibited as they are considered to be basements (see "Basement" definition). This prohibition includes below-grade garages and storage areas.
• Add the following section into your ordinance at Section 5.1 .C:
5.1 .C. Crawlspace Construction.
This sub-section applies to buildings with crawl spaces up to 2 feet below grade. Belowgrade crawl space construction in accordance with the requirements listed below will not be considered basements.
a. The building must be designed and adequately anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. Crawl space construction is not allowed in areas with flood velocities greater than 5 feet per second unless the design is reviewed by a qualified design professional, such as a registered architect or professional engineer;

Chapter 15.56 - FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT*
APPENDIX
Coachella, California, Code of Ordinances Created: 2022-06-06 10:55:01 [EST] (Supp. No. 24)
b. The crawl space is an enclosed area below the BFE and, as such, must have openings that equalize hydrostatic pressures by allowing for the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. For guidance on flood openings, see FEMA Technical Bulletin 1-93; c. Crawl space construction is not permitted in V zones. Open pile or column foundations that withstand storm surge and wave forces are required in V zones; d. Portions of the building below the BFE must be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage. This includes not only the foundation walls of the crawl space used to elevate the building, but also any joists, insulation, or other materials that extend below the BFE; and
e. Any building utility systems within the crawl space must be elevated above BFE or designed so that floodwaters cannot enter or accumulate within the system components during flood conditions.
f. Requirements for all below-grade crawl space construction, in addition to the above requirements, to include the following:
1. The interior grade of a crawl space below the BFE must not be more than 2 feet below the lowest adjacent exterior grade (LAG), shown as D in figure 3 of Technical Bulletin 11-01;
2. The height of the below-grade crawl space, measured from the interior grade of the crawl space to the top of the crawl space foundation wall must not exceed 4 feet (shown as L in figure 3 of Technical Bulletin 11-01) at any point;
3. There must be an adequate drainage system that removes floodwaters from the interior area of the crawl space within a reasonable period of time after a flood event, not to exceed 72 hours; and
4. The velocity of floodwaters at the site should not exceed 5 feet per second for any crawl space. For velocities in excess of 5 feet per second, other foundation types should be used.
B. Mudslide (i.e., Mudflow) Prone Areas. (Zone M)
• Communities with mudslide prone areas shall insert the following:
1. Definitions to Section 2:
"Area of special mudslide (i.e., mudflow) hazard" is the area subject to severe mudslides (i.e., mudflows). The area is designated as Zone M on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
"Mudslide" describes a condition where there is a river, flow or inundation of liquid mud down a hillside, usually as a result of a dual condition of loss of brush cover and the subsequent accumulation of water on the ground, preceded by a period of unusually heavy or sustained rain.
"Mudslide (i.e., mudflow) prone area" means an area with land surfaces and slopes of unconsolidated material where the history, geology, and climate indicate a potential for mudflow.

A. The Floodplain Administrator shall review permits for proposed construction of other development to determine if it is proposed within a mudslide area.
B. Permits shall be reviewed to determine that the proposed site and improvement will be reasonably safe from mudslide hazards. Factors to be considered in making this determination include, but are not limited to:
1. The type and quality of soils;
2. Evidence of ground water or surface water problems;
3. Depth and quality of any fill;
4. Overall slope of the site; and
5. Weight that any proposed development will impose on the slope.
C. Within areas which may have mudslide hazards, the Floodplain Administrator shall require:
1. A site investigation and further review by persons qualified in geology and soils engineering;
2. The proposed grading, excavation, new construction, and substantial improvement be adequately designed and protected against mudslide damages;
3. The proposed grading, excavations, new construction, and substantial improvement not aggravate the existing hazard by creating either on-site or off-site disturbances; and
4. Drainage, planting, watering, and maintenance not endanger slope stability.
C. Erosion-prone areas. (Zone E)
• Communities with erosion prone areas shall insert the following:
1. Definitions into Section 2:
"Area of special flood-related erosion hazard" is the land within a community which is most likely to be subject to severe flood-related erosion losses. The area may be designated as Zone E on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). "Flood-related erosion" means the collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical level or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as a flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusually and unforeseeable event which results in flooding.
"Flood-related erosion area" or "Flood-related erosion prone area" means a land area adjoining the shore of a lake or other body of water, which due to the composition of the shoreline or bank and high water levels or wind-driven currents, is likely to suffer floodrelated erosion damage.

A. The Floodplain Administrator shall require permits for proposed construction and other development within all flood-related erosion-prone areas known to the community.
B. Permit applications shall be reviewed to determine whether the proposed site alterations and improvements will be reasonably safe from flood-related erosion, and will not cause flood-related erosion hazards or otherwise aggravate the existing hazard.
C. If a proposed improvement is found to be in the path of flood-related erosion or would increase the erosion hazard, such improvement shall be relocated or adequate protective measures shall be taken to avoid aggravating the existing erosion hazard.
D. Within Zone E on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, a setback is required for all new development from the ocean, lake, bay, riverfront or other body of water to create a safety buffer consisting of a natural vegetative or contour strip. This buffer shall be designated according to the flood-related erosion hazard and erosion rate, in relation to the anticipated "useful life" of structures, and depending upon the geologic, hydrologic, topographic, and climatic characteristics of the land. The buffer may be used for suitable open space purposes, such as for agricultural, forestry, outdoor recreation and wildlife habitat areas, and for other activities using temporary and portable structures only.

15.60.040 Purpose and intent; violation of chapter.
The city council has determined that the quality of life in Coachella is tied to the character and condition of real property within the city, and that inadequate property maintenance tends to cause a diminution in the enjoyment, use, aesthetics, and value of surrounding properties. It is the purpose of this chapter to restate, crossreference, and amend the city's property maintenance standards, in an effort to promote public awareness of those standards, visual unity and order, as well as enhance the value of land and development within the city, and protect the appearance, integrity and character of the community. Restatements and cross-references of existing code provisions and laws are not intended to supersede or conflict with those laws.
Inspection of property for compliance with these standards may be accomplished in any constitutionally permissible fashion including inspection from public rights-of-way, inspection with a property owner or occupier's consent, and inspection through a court-issued warrant. Violations of the property management standards of this chapter are declared a public nuisance, which may be abated by the city in accordance with Chapter 8.20 of this code. In addition to or in lieu of such administrative abatement, the city may pursue any other legal or equitable remedies available to it under this code or state law, including, but not limited to, the procedures contained in the California Health and Safety Code.

FROM: Gabriel Perez, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Tripoli Mixed-Use Project (Proposed Revisions) SPECIFICS: Amendments to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 351 and Architectural Review (AR) 22-04 for the PUD (Planned Unit Development) Overlay Zone guidelines, design revisions and modifications to conditions of approval for a mixed-use development consisting of 108 apartment units and 2 retail units on 2.8 acres of vacant C-G (General Commercial) zoned property at the northeast corner of Cesar Chavez Street and Bagdad Avenue (APN# 778-081-003 and -001) Applicant: Chelsea Investment Corporation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Chelsea Investment Corporation requests City Council approval of revisions to the architectural design and conditions of approval for the Tripoli Mixed-Use project, a mixed-use development consisting of 108 affordable apartments units, with 1-3 bedroom options, and two retail spaces on
2.8 acres at the northeast corner of Cesar Chavez Street and Bagdad Avenue as follows:
Building A – 3-story 49,794 sq. ft. building consisting of 44 apartment units, a 652 sq. ft. multi-purpose
room, and 1,805 sq. ft. ground floor retail space
modified to a 58,098 sq. ft. building with 50
apartments units, 2 commercial spaces of 1,031 sq. ft.
each and 1,790 sq. ft. community room/lounge.
(Southwest corner of 6th Street and Tripoli Ave)
Building B – 4-story 71,079 sq. ft. building consisting of 64 apartment units, a 1,296 sq. ft. community room
and a 1,413 sq. ft. ground floor retail space modified
to a 3-story, 54,981 sq. ft. building consisting of 58
apartment units, 2 commercial spaces of 992 sq. ft.
each (Northeast corner of Cesar Chavez Street and Bagdad Avenue) Outdoor Tot Lot (relocated at the front of Building A)
Item 25.
BACKGROUND:
The subject site is a vacant commercial property and historical aerial photographs from 1953 identify a previous large commercial/industrial building on the site and later removed on 1996 aerial photographs. Chelsea Investment Corporation is currently constructing a 3-story, 105-unit mixed-use development, Pueblo Viejo Villas, on 2.61-acre site north of this subject site as a transitoriented development approved under Change of Zone 17-03. A transit hub on 1.66 acres at the corner of Fourth Street and Cesar Chavez Street will be constructed in association with Pueblo Viejo Villas and will be operated by Sunline Transit Agency.
The Council originally approved Change of Zone (CZ) 22-01, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 351, Architectural Review (AR) 22-04 to amend the Official Zoning Map by adding the PUD (Planned Unit Development) Overlay Zone on 2.8 acres of vacant C-G (General Commercial) zoned property for a mixed-use development consisting of 108 apartment units and 2 retail units on May 11, 2022. The applicant the Planning Commission recommended approval of. The City Council approved the project at a public hearing on May 11, 2022.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The surrounding land uses and zoning designations are as follows:
North: Existing commercial development and Pueblo Viejo Villas, (C-G, General Commercial and C-G PD).
South: Rancho Grande Markets (C-G, General Commercial).
East: Residential neighborhood and vacant land (C-G, General Commercial and R-S, Residential Single Family).
West: O’Reilly Auto Parts and Cesar Chavez Street (C-G, General Commercial).
Site Plan
The applicant proposes modification of an approved mixed-use development consisting of 108 apartment units and 2 retail spaces within 2 buildings in the Pueblo Viejo District. Building A was approved for a 3-story; 49,794 sq. ft. building located toward the Southwest corner of 6th Street and Tripoli Avenue. Building B was approved as a 4-story, 71,079 sq. ft. building located toward the Northeast corner of Bagdad Avenue and Cesar Chavez Street. Both buildings would be constructed near property line with building frontages on 6th Street, Tripoli Way, Bagdad Avenue and Cesar Chavez Street and on-site parking oriented behind the buildings consistent with goals of the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan. The orientation of the buildings support the City’s goals of promoting a walkable downtown environment with a well-designed public realm.
The applicant proposes to maintain the same unit count of 108 apartments with 1-3 bedroom unit options, but proposes to reduce the size of all units and the unit number in Building B in order to reduce the size of Building B to 54,981 sq. ft. and reduce the number of stories from 4-stories to 3-stories. The community lounge space is proposed to be merged into Building A and total community lounge space increased by 252 sq. ft. The community space will include kitchen space,
Item 25.
restrooms, and 6 computer stations. The retail space available for the project would increase by 1,827 sq. ft. under the new proposal with two retail suites in each building.

A 218 sq. ft. fenced tot lot was originally proposed near Building A with playground equipment for children and is now proposed to be increase in size to 813 sq. ft. near Building B. No details of the playground equipment were submitted for the Architectural Review, but will be reviewed during building permit plan check.
Parking
The applicant proposed on-site parking area consisting of 118 parking spaces accessed by driveways from Bagdad Avenue and Tripoli Way. The new proposal reduces on-site parking to 104 parking spaces. Parking based on 120,873 sq. ft. of gross floor area, would require 362 spaces in the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan. The applicant proposes 104 on-site parking spaces and 38 on-street parking spaces. The Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan draft development standards allow for on street parking to be counted toward required parking if within 500 feet of the main entrance of the development. Senate Bill 35 allows affordable housing development within ½ mile
Item 25.
of public transit to be exempted from parking standards. With the application of density bonus law, only 61 parking spaces would be required or a surplus of 81 parking spaces. Staff is supportive of allowing the development to utilize on-street parking to count towards satisfying parking requirements, which would be provided by constructing 10 diagonal parking spaces on Bagdad Avenue and 28 diagonal parking spaces on Tripoli Way.
Staff has indicated to the applicant a preference for creating diagonal parking spaces on 6th Street along the frontage of the retail spaces to increase parking count. A condition of approval (Condition No. 48) for adding diagonal parking on 6th Street has been included if feasible.
Architectural Design
The overall architectural style of the approved project incorporates Spanish Colonial Revival design. The applicant proposes a redesign of the project to reduce costs due to conditions of approval for inclusion of elevators in both buildings and the original architectural design would be cost prohibitive. The applicant selected a new architect that designed the Pueblo Viejo Villas mixed use project and elected to include many of that development’s architectural elements. The original design included a pronounced first floor retail area for Cesar Chavez Street and 6th Street, significant articulation of building features, recessed windows, undulating roofline with several tower features. The applicant redesigned the project and presented new designs for a substantial conformance approval at the administrative level. The Development Services Director determined that the proposed site plan and architectural elevation changes were substantial and would require public hearing approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. The Director also provided comments to improve the design so that the redesigned project could be recommended for approval to the Commission and Council. The applicant worked on design revisions based on staff comments, which are presented in figures 4-7 below.

Item 25.
Staff is of the opinion that the original architectural design was a superior design compared to the proposed design and recommended to the applicant that substantial design enhancements be focused on the most publicly visible portion of the development such as 6th Street and Cesar Chavez Street. The applicant retained many of the first floor retail architectural features, added finials on towers, and included the slaked stucco decorative features along the roofline that are characteristic of Spanish Colonial Revival design. The applicant does not propose to incorporate recessed windows, sloped window sills, window awnings above the first floor, mortar packing for roof tile, or bull nosed stucco building edges.
Staff has included recommended design revisions in condition of approval No. 18 that includes decorative cornices, increase in use of divided lites, and increase in use of tower features. Roof tile materials and construction consistent with Spanish Colonial Revival design was recommended in condition of approval no. 19 and the Planning Commission elected to depart from requiring two piece clay tile and mortar packing and instead use a blended color concrete roof tile. Smooth stucco finishing and bull-nosed corners were recommended in condition of approval no. 20, but the Planning Commission elected to remove this condition and instead permit a 60/40 sand finish and not require bull-nosed corners. The applicant requested that condition of approval no. 17 for a 15- foot ceiling for the first floor retail spaces be modified to allow a 9’1” ceiling height on the first floor of which the Planning Commission agreed to modify. The 15-foot first floor ceiling height is a guideline of the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan.
Landscape Design
The applicant proposes to maintain the same landscape pallet but proposes not to revise the landscape plan that would accommodate trees along the edge of the curb at Cesar Chavez Street and instead intends to maintain the existing sidewalk in place. Staff does not recommend that the existing sidewalk remain and requested that the original condition of approval for a separated sidewalk with trees adjacent to curb consistent with the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan be implemented. The Planning Commission elected to remove a condition of approval requiring that landscape planters separate the street from the sidewalk area along Cesar Chavez Street.
The plant palette shows a variety of trees including “Mulga”, “Hong Kong Orchard,” “Desert Willow,” “Texas Ebony,” “Drake Elm” and “California Fan Palm.” The project is conditioned to modify the landscape plan to create planters adjacent to curb at Cesar Chavez Street and planted with Hong Kong Orchard trees to provide shade for pedestrians. The planters will include waterefficient shrubs including “Bank Catclaw”, “Do-La-la Bougainvillea”, “Compact Texas Ranger”, “Mexican Bush Sage.” Succulents will include “Dwarf Century Plant,” “Blue Flame Agave,” “Red Yucca”, and “Toothless Desert Spoon”. A cluster of palm trees is also provided at the corner of Cesar Chavez Street and First Street along with other landscape materials design to make the future public art location a focal point. The applicant is unable to meet the requirement of 10 shade trees at every 10 parking spaces due to the proposed solar carports.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The proposed project is within the Downtown Center land use designation of the General Plan 2035 Land Use and Community Character Element. The Downtown Center is intended to bring
Item 25.
the entire community together in a one-of-a-kind Coachella Center, which allows for commercial uses. The General Plan allows for a residential density of 20-65 dwelling units/acre and a Floor Area Ratio of 0.5-3 for commercial uses. The project proposes a density of 38 dwelling units per acre and is thereby consistent with the General Plan. The project is consistent with the policies of the Land Use and Community Character's Sub-Area #2 policies, which recognize that Downtown is the heart of the City where mixed use development is encouraged and creates a new gateway to downtown near intersection of Sixth Street and Cesar Chavez Street.
CONSISTENCY WITH ZONING
The subject site is zoned C-G (General Commercial) zone, which does not allow for mixed-use development and specifically only permits a residential unit as a proprietors unit. The Zoning is currently inconsistent with the General Plan land use as the future zoning should be Downtown Center, which would accommodate mixed-use development at a density of 20-65 dwelling units/acre. In order to accommodate this type of development, the applicant requests amend the Official Zoning Map with approval of the PUD (Planned Unit Development) Overlay Zone on the
2.8 acres of vacant C-G (General Commercial) zoned property, which allows the applicant to establish flexible development standards and permitted uses insofar as it is consistent with the General Plan. Staff requested that the applicant incorporate the draft development standards of the Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan, which identifies this area as the Sixth Street Pueblo Viejo Zone and Cesar Chavez Pueblo Viejo Zone. The project complies with the draft Development Standards of the Sixth Street Pueblo Viejo Zone, except for unit size, parking, retail space height, residential first floor height, and public/common open space requirements.

Pueblo Viejo Implementation Strategy Plan – FINAL REPORT – October 2019
GB-PV ZONE
17.25.010 Intent and purpose.
This zone is intended to provide for and encourage the orderly development of the areas of the Pueblo Viejo that borders Grapefruit Boulevard and serve as gateways into the district. The Pueblo Viejo is envisioned as a higher-density downtown area that provides for a wide variety of multi-family residential housing, office, and retail uses. Centered around a mixed-use core, this zone encourages future mixed-use development, but recognizes the need to support existing uses previously allowed under the C-G General Commercial Use and M-S Manufacturing Service zones. This zone provides for an orderly transition to higher intensity development, defined as the Downtown Center in the city’s General Plan. While encouraging pedestrian-friendly connections and safe multi-modal access, this zone recognizes current automobile-oriented uses, but allows for flexibility in reducing parking requirements, maintaining existing historical automobile-oriented architectural character along Grapefruit Boulevard and retrofitting existing development as market-demands call for new, innovative and/or higher intensity development styles.

17.29.010 Intent and purpose.
This zone is intended to provide for and encourage the orderly development of the core of the Pueblo Viejo District. the core of the Pueblo Viejo District is envisioned, by the city’s General Plan and Pueblo Viejo Vision Plan, as a higher-density mixed-use (either vertical and/or horizontal) downtown area that provides for a wide variety of multi-family residential housing, office, and retail uses. This zone encourages a high-energy pedestrian-friendly environment with street-facing buildings, maintained building lines, a variation of architectural character, and sidewalk and public spaces to provide for gathering spaces and promote outdoor activities including dining, people watching, public art and passive recreation. Motorized vehicle access would minimize impacts on a highly connected pedestrian environment with alley and rear entry access, parking in structures or internal to blocks, and services located behind buildings, in alleyways or rear parking areas. The use of the public realm is encouraged with on-street dining and temporary uses encouraged on sidewalks and adjoining setbacks for these purposes.

STAFF REPORT
11/9/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Celina Jimenez, Grants Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-97 Authorizing the City Manager to Submit an Application to the County of Riverside for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant Program Entitlement Funds in the Amount of $369,000.00 for the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Program STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing, receive public comment, and consider adopting Resolution No. 2022-97 authorizing the City Manager to submit an application for the Community Development Block Grant program Entitlement Funds for Fiscal Year 2023- 24 in the amount of $369,000.00 for the Home Enhancement Program.
BACKGROUND:
The County of Riverside and City of Coachella executed a Cooperation Agreement, for a term commencing July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024 for the Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership Program and Emergency Solutions Grant for fiscal years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24, whereby the City elected to participate with the County, which has qualified as an “Urban County” for purposes of receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and to assist and undertake essential community development and housing assistance activities pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
Through this agreement, the City agreed to undertake and assist with the community development activities, within its jurisdiction, by utilizing the sum of $369,000.00, CDBG Entitlement Funds for the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Program. The program will help rehabilitate and extend the life of existing single-family homes, correct health and safety hazards in deteriorated and blighted housing units, and improve the quality of life for Coachella’s most impoverished homeowners. This allocation reflects a proportional share of the County of Riverside’s entitlement allocation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City can use its allocation for any eligible CDBG-activity, including, but not limited to, housing rehabilitation, code enforcement, and infrastructure improvement needs, as long as the primary beneficiaries are low-to-moderate income households. The City’s annual allocation is based on a formula that includes population, poverty rate, overcrowding, and sub-standard housing. For fiscal year 2023- 2024, the City of Coachella’s allocation is approximately $369,000.00 for CDBG-related activities.
Item 26.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Through the 2023-2024 CDBG General Allocation, City Staff is proposing the submittal of a grant application for up to $369,000.00 to implement a Home Enhancement Program (HEP). Under the proposed Program, qualified homeowners can receive grants of up to $50,000 should they meet the requirements set forth in the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Grant Program Guidelines (Program Guidelines), which include but are not limited to the following: (i) the applicant/homeowner must be low-income, (ii) the subject residential dwelling must be owneroccupied, (iii) the subject dwelling must be located within the boundaries of the City of Coachella and Qualified Census Tracts, (iv) the subject residential dwelling must be a single-family home, duplex, manufactured home, mobile home, or condominium, and (v) the applicant/homeowner's total household income shall be at or below fifty (50%) percent of the area median income, adjusted for household size.
The $50,000 maximum grant amount will allow for the completion of most repairs requested by applicants, including roof replacement on smaller residential dwellings. The eligible repairs are limited to those necessary for the health and safety of the occupants and other items necessary to bring the property into code compliance. Ineligible repairs are those not related to health and safety that involve routine maintenance, cosmetic repairs, or luxury improvements. Based on the maximum allowable grant amount of up to $50,000, a minimum of approximately six (6) residential structures will be rehabilitated with grants from the Program. However, the number of rehabilitated homes may increase depending on the individual grant amounts which will likely vary as they will be based on project specifications and needs. Construction of the eligible repairs will be performed by qualified, licensed construction contractors solicited through a competitive bid process. Bids will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder. Program grants will be evidenced by forgivable loan promissory notes (the notes convert to grants upon expiration of affordability period, which is five (5) years) and secured by deeds of trust and affordability covenants.
Eligible Repairs
In order to ensure that the goals of the HEP are met, the following list of specific priorities has been established to serve as a guide for the personnel assigned to the program. It should be noted that the items listed are not meant to exclude other improvements:
1) Health and Safety Issues/Systems
2) Exterior Improvements
3) Energy Efficiency Measures (i.e. doors, windows, weatherization, etc.) 4) Address repairs needed for residential homes that are “deteriorated/deteriorating” Note: Certain improvements are subject to specific requirements and limitations.
Item 26.
Exterior Repairs:
Minor Roof Repair / Roof Replacement (if necessary)
Replacement of broken or missing windows and doors (energy efficiency) Repair or replace damaged and falling fencing (equivalent to existing fencing material) Exterior paint and other improvements
Exterior Paint walls and trim
Repair or replace flashing and guttering
Repair or replace porches and steps
Repair exterior foundation walls
Removal of aging, dangerous trees and/or hedges (to be considered for this service, the homeowner will be required to install a water-smart landscape, gardening, and/or vegetation upon project completion).
Environmental Compliance
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Grant Program was reviewed and determined to be categorically exempt under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1 - Existing Facilities and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), General Rule or “Common Sense” Exemption. The project relates to the establishment of a program and fund to pay administration fees and rehabilitation costs relating to existing residential dwellings such as traditional single-family housing, duplexes, manufactured homes, mobile homes, or condominiums (Project). The proposed Project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1 - Existing Facilities since it includes the minor rehabilitation of existing residential structures, and not expansion of an existing use will occur. In addition, the Project is also exempt under the common sense exemption of State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) in that it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility that the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Grant Program may have a significant effect on the environment, as the payment of costs, fees and expenses necessary to rehabilitate pursuant to the program will have mostly financial effects and will not lead to any direct or reasonably indirect physical environmental impacts. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City of Coachella staff with the County Clerk within five days of the approval of the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Grant Program.
Additionally, the proposed activity is considered eligible for CDBG funding because it meets one or more of the following CDBG national objectives:
Provide a benefit to low and moderate income persons; Prevent or eliminate slums and blight; or
Meet other urgent community development needs due to natural disasters or other emergencies.
Item 26.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-97 Authorizing the City Manager to Submit an Application to the County of Riverside for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant Program Entitlement Funds in the Amount of $369,000.00 for the City of Coachella Home Enhancement Program

FISCAL IMPACT:
Program Budget
Rehabilitation (Construction) $330,000
City of Coachella Program Staffing $30,000
Administrative Fee $9,000
Total Program Budget $369,000
Once the application is approved, the County will send a Supplemental Agreement for signature and the County will issue a Letter to Incur Costs to the City of Coachella so that the City can receive reimbursement in the amount of $369,000.00 in CDBG entitlement funds for its Home Enhancement Program. All disbursements of CDBG funds will be made within thirty (30) days after the County has received the City’s reimbursement request including documentation supporting expenditures. This program will not impact the General Fund as this program will be fully funded through the CDBG grant program.
