The Project total addition to the existing site includes:
15,000 SF of Production Facility (Manufacturing)
37,800 SF Storage Facilities (Warehousing)
3,000 SF of Research & Development
STUDY AREA
Exhibit 2 presents the study area intersection analysis locations. Study area intersections will be evaluated using the HCM 7 methodology. Count data will be collected during the AM and PM peak hours on a typical weekday.
ANALYSIS SCENARIOS
The analysis of peak hour operations at study area intersections will be provided for the following analysis scenarios:
Existing (2024)
Existing Plus Ambient Growth Plus Project (2026) Conditions (EAP) Existing Plus Ambient Growth Plus Project Plus Cumulative (2026) Conditions (EAPC) EAP traffic conditions will be utilized to determine direct Project traffic impacts, while the EAPC (2026) analysis will be utilized to determine the Project’s cumulatively considerable impacts (subject to payment of fees/fair share).
AMBIENT GROWTH ASSUMPTIONS
An ambient growth rate of 2.0 percent per year is proposed for the study area intersections which will be compounded for each year to the Project’s Opening Year of 2026 (in addition to cumulative development traffic overlays). The growth rate is consistent with the growth rate utilized by the County of Riverside.
TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation represents the amount of traffic that is attracted and produced by a development, and is based upon the specific land uses planned for a given project. Table 1 presents the trip generation rates and the resulting trip generation summary for the proposed Project. The trip generation rates used for this analysis are based upon information collected by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) as provided in their Trip Generation manual, 11th Edition, 2021. As shown in Table 1, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 169 trip-ends per day with 21 AM peak hour trips and 20 PM peak hour trips.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Trip distribution is the process of identifying the probable destinations, directions, or traffic routes that will be utilized by Project traffic. The potential interaction between the planned land use and surrounding regional access routes are considered, to identify the route where the Project traffic would distribute. The trip distribution pattern is heavily influenced by the geographical location of the site, the location of surrounding uses, and the proximity to the regional freeway system. Exhibit 3 illustrates the trip distribution pattern for the Project.
PROJECT TRAFFIC VOLUMES
The assignment of traffic from the Project area to the adjoining roadway system is based upon the Project trip generation, trip distribution, and the arterial street system improvements that would be in place by the time of initial occupancy of the Project. Based on the identified Project traffic generation and trip distribution patterns, Project Only Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes and AM and PM peak hour intersection turning movement volumes are shown on Exhibit 4.
LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) CRITERIA AND THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE The City of Coachella’s current General Plan applies LOS D as a performance threshold for roadway segments and intersections.
The following thresholds of significance will be applied to study area intersections to identify significant impacts through a comparison of Existing and EAP traffic conditions:
If an intersection is projected to operate at an acceptable level of service (i.e., LOS D or better) under Existing traffic conditions and the addition of project traffic is expected to cause the intersection to operate at an unacceptable level of service (i.e., LOS E or F), the impact is considered significant; If an intersection is projected to operate at LOS E or LOS F under Existing, with the addition of project traffic, the impact is considered significant.
EXISTING COUNT DATA
Intersection turning movement counts will be conducted at the study area intersection locations for weekday AM (7-9AM) and weekday PM (4-6PM). Daily (24-hour) counts will also be conducted on Tyler Street north of the project entry, and on Avenue 53 west of Tyler Street.
The traffic counts are anticipated to occur on June 5th, 2024. A seasonal adjustment factor of 10% is proposed to be applied if counts are taken during this first week of June.
CITY GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION ELEMENT
The adopted City of Coachella General Plan Circulation Element is shown on Exhibit 5. Exhibit 6 shows the City of Coachella General Plan roadway cross-sections.

SPECIAL ISSUES
The following issues will also be addressed as part of the traffic study:
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis: Signal warrant analysis will be prepared for all unsignalized study area intersections that allow for full access (no traffic signal warrants to be performed for restricted access locations due to infeasibility of installing a signal at these types of locations).
Improvements: Based on the traffic analysis (TA) results, the TA will indicate new improvement requirements and fair share contribution for the proposed Project. Fair share tables will be included
CUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT
It is requested that City staff review the list of cumulative development projects (shown on Exhibit 7 and listed on Table 2) and any additional information for projects that should be included in this traffic study that may not be reflected Exhibit 7.
Information pertaining to project location, land use, and intensity are necessary for consideration and to estimate trip generation.
If you have any questions, please contact us directly at [email protected] for John or [email protected] for Marlie.

ARMTEC MASTER PLAN VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED {VMT) SCREENING Mr. Andrew Simmons, P.E.,
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to provide the following Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening for the Armtec Master Plan development (Project), which is located at the southwest corner of Tyler Street and Avenue 53 in the City of Coachella.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
It is our understanding that the Project is to consist of the expansion of an existing defense technologies facility. A preliminary master plan for the proposed Project is shown on Exhibit 1.
Access to the Project is provided via the Armtec Entrance, which is a full access driveway to Tyler Street (located south of Avenue 53).
The Project total addition to the existing site includes:
• 15,000 SF of Production Facility (Manufacturing)
• 37,800 SF Storage Facilities (Warehousing) .,.
• 3,000 SF of Research & Development 1
BACKGROUND
Changes to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines were adopted in December 2018, which requires all lead agencies to adopt VMT as a replacement for automobile delay-based level of service (LOS) as the new measure for identifying transportation impacts for land use projects. This statewide mandate went into effect July 1, 2020. To aid in this transition, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released a Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEOA (December of 2018) (Technical Advisory) (1 ). Based on OP R's Technical Advisory, the County of Riverside adopted their Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service Vehicle Miles Traveled (December of 2020) (County Guidelines) (2).
The adopted County Guidelines have been utilized to prepare this VMT screening assessment. ·.r11l •

Consistent with County Guidelines, projects should evaluate available screening criteria based on their location and project type to determine if a presumption of a less than significant transportation impact can be made. The following project screening thresholds were selected for review based on their applicability to the proposed Project:
• Small Projects Screening
• High Quality Transit Areas (HQTA) Screening
• Map-Based Screening
SMALL PROJECTS SCREENING
County Guidelines identify those projects forecasted to generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 3,000 Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCOze) per year are also assumed to cause a less than significant VMT impact. 1 The County Guidelines provides a list of land use types based on quantity (i.e., dwelling units or square footage) and provides a typical development potential to be below the 3,000 MTCOze per year. Warehouse buildings sized 208,000 square feet, industrial buildings sized 179,000 square feet and below and office buildings sized 165,000 square feet and below have been identified to meet the County threshold2 . In
addition, if project trip generation is less than 110 trips per day per the !TE Manual, the Project is presumed to cause a less-than-significant impact.
The Project warehouse quantity of 37,800 SF is approximately 18% of the 208,000 SF warehouse VMT screening criteria. The Project manufacturing quantity of 15,000 SF is approximately 8% of the 179,000 SF industrial VMT screening criteria. The Project research and development quantity of 3,000 SF is approximately 2% of the 1658,000 SF office VMT screening criteria . ./ Small Projects screening criteria is met.
HIGH QUALITY TRANSIT AREAS (HQTA) SCREENING
Projects located within a Transit Priority Area (TPA) (i.e., within½ mile of an existing "major transit stop"3 or an existing stop along a "high-quality transit corridor"4 ) may be presumed to have a less
than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. The Project is not located within½ mile of an existing major transit stop, or along a high-quality transit corridor.
HQTA screening criteria is not met.

P.::1ge4,�f4
The County Guidelines note that "office projects that locate in areas with low VMT, and that incorporate similar features (i.e., density, mix of uses, transit accessibility}, will tend to exhibit similarly low VMT."5 County Guidelines also state that the use of map-based screening is also applicable for other employment uses, so map-based screening applies to the entire Project.
Urban Crossroads has obtained a VMT data table from County Staff for all TAZs within Riverside County that identifies VMT per employee for the purposes of identifying low VMT areas. The data utilizes the sub-regional Riverside Transportation Analysis Model (RIVTAM) to measure baseline VMT performance, and a comparison was made to the applicable impact threshold.
The Project's TAZ was identified in the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RIVTAM) as TAZ 4831. The County's data table identifies the Project's TAZ 4831 to generate 16.70 VMT per employee. Whereas the County regional threshold is 14.2 VMT per employee6 , the Project is not
located in a low VMT area.
Map-Based screening criteria is not met.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the Project was evaluated consistent with available screening criteria as presented in the County Guidelines. The small project screening criteria is met, so a full analysis of VMT associated with site employment is not required. The Project is presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT.

Response to Comments
The City received three comment letters to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Project. The following provides individual comments and responses. The complete comments are attached to this response in Appendix A.
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Letter dated May 21, 2025
Comment 1:
This letter is in response to the notice dated April 22, 2025, soliciting comments on the draft Initial Study and Intent to Adopt Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Armtec Expansion Master Plan (Project), located in the City of Coachella, Riverside County, California. The Project applicant, Armtec Defense Technologies proposes to construct new storage, research and development, and production facilities totaling to 37,800 square feet (sf), a 73,200-sf staging area, three retention basins, and off-site improvements adjacent to the Project site.
We offer the following comments on the draft ISMND as they relate to potential impacts on public trust resources. The primary concern and mandate of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish and wildlife resources and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service has legal responsibility for the welfare of migratory birds, anadromous fish, and threatened or endangered animals and plants listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The comments provided herein are based on the information provided in the draft ISMND and our knowledge of sensitive and declining fish and wildlife resources.
The Project site is located within the boundary of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), and the City of Coachella (City) is a Local Permittee to the CVMSHCP. The Project site is adjacent to CVMSHCP-modeled habitat for the following Covered Species: crissal thrasher (Toxostoma crissale), least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), summer tanager (Piranga rubra cooperi), yellow-breasted chat (Icteria virens), and yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia brewsteri). The Project applicant completed Phase 1 of the Project which was the construction of a solar grid in early 2025. Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Armtec Expansion Master Plan are the subject of this draft ISMND. As stated above, Phase 2 includes construction of a 15,000-sf storage warehouse, a 73,000-sf truck staging area, a 3,000-sf research and development facility, and three retention basins, totaling 75,650 sf. Phase 3 includes the construction of a 15,000-sf production facility, a 15,000-sf storage warehouse, two 900-sf storage structures, and an expansion of an existing storage warehouse by 6,000 sf. The proposed Project also includes off-site improvements, including improving and widening Tyler Street.

Response to Comments
Response 1:
The comment is noted. It provides a description of the Project and requires no further response.
Comment 2:
The draft ISMND states that flora and fauna were observed during the field reconnaissance of the Project site on June 6, 2024, as part of the Archaeological and Paleontological Resources Assessment. However, the draft ISMND does not indicate completion of additional biological field surveys or include a biological resources assessment. A biological resources assessment is necessary to accurately assess the Project’s potential impacts to fish and wildlife resources.
Please revise the draft ISMND to include a biological resources assessment, including impacts to Covered Species (identified above) under the CVMSHCP and their habitat.
Response 2:
The ISMND currently describes the environmental setting and general conditions of the Armtec site under the Biological Resources “Setting” section and describes the heavily disturbed nature of the Project site in the “Discussion of Impacts” section. For clarification, most onsite vegetation is limited to areas of ornamental landscaping on the southern parcel, as shown in Exhibit 2:
Project Location Map, and will not be impacted by Project improvements, which will occur in areas as shown on Exhibit 3: Armtec Expansion Master Plan and Exhibits 4: and 5: Phase 2 Preliminary Site Plan Northern Parcel/Southern Parcel. The portions of the project site where ground disturbance will occur are graded, predominantly bare soil surfaces that have been leveled and compacted, with minimal vegetation consisting of sparse, low-density patches of short grass or herbaceous growth. Furthermore, the site is heavily disturbed by existing Armtec facility operations, including daily vehicle and personnel activity, heavy machinery use, truck deliveries, and existing noise and light pollution from onsite and nearby development, which collectively deter species from occupying the site.
Moreover, as indicated in Comment 1, the site is “adjacent” to CVMSHCP-modeled habitat for the above-mentioned Covered Species, not within. As indicated in response IV. f) of the ISMND, “[t]he Project proponent will be required to pay the local development mitigation fee to mitigate impacts to covered species. Payment of the fee is a standard requirement of projects in the CVMSHCP coverage area.” Also, ISMND Mitigation Measure (MM) BIO-1, as amended in Response 3, requires pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl and nesting birds which provides an appropriate approach to mitigating potential impacts to these species given the existing degraded site conditions
Supplemental site photographs are provided, below, to support the conclusion that the areas of proposed improvements are void of significant biological resources and that a biological resources assessment is not required to demonstrate that the project would impact wildlife resources including Covered Species under the CVMSHCP.

Nesting Birds
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq) prohibits take of individuals, parts, nests, or eggs of migratory birds. “Take” is defined in the Service’s general wildlife regulations as “to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or attempt to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect (50 C.F.R. § 10.12).” The Service’s section 10(a)(1)(B) Permit associated with the CVMSHCP constitutes a Special Purpose Permit 1459
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
under the MBTA for the Take of Covered Species. However, only Take of migratory bird habitat is provided, and the Permit states that “[a]ny such Take will not be in violation of the MBTA.” Therefore, Take of individuals, parts, nests, or eggs, as described in the MBTA is not authorized in the Special Purpose Permit, and any Take of migratory bird habitat associated with Covered Activities will not be in violation of the MBTA.
The draft ISMND states that the Project site has low potential to provide nesting opportunities due to the disturbed nature of the vegetation and soils and concludes that the proposed Project’s potential impacts to migratory bird species are negligible. Although the Project site is disturbed, the presence of sparse vegetation, particularly cover of shrubs, is suitable habitat for groundnesting birds. Furthermore, bare ground or sparse vegetation cover constitutes suitable nesting habitat for some ground-nesting birds. The proposed ground disturbance may consequently result in unauthorized Take of migratory birds without implementation of the necessary avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. Additionally, the draft ISMND does not indicate completion of focused nesting bird surveys. Focused nesting bird surveys are necessary to accurately confirm nesting bird presence or absence on the Project site. A complete assessment of the biological resources within the Project area is required to assess the Project’s potential impacts to migratory birds. Please revise the draft ISMND to include a complete assessment of the Project’s potential impacts to nesting bird habitat, including completion of nesting bird surveys during the appropriate time of year, to determine the extent of nesting birds on the Project site.
Response 3:
See Response 2, above, which details regarding the existing ground conditions of the proposed disturbance areas. These conditions demonstrate that a separate biological resources assessment is not warranted. The pre-construction survey requirements (MM BIO-1, as amended herein) provide an appropriate measure to mitigate potential impacts to biological resources, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
The ISMND currently includes two pre-construction burrowing owl surveys with specific timeline requirements in compliance with CDFW protocol and explicitly requires CDFW consultation if burrowing owls are detected (MM BIO-1). The City acknowledges USFW’s concern regarding the potential presence of ground nesting birds within the project area, therefore, in response to USFWS Comment 3 (and Comment 4), and in response to the CDFW comment letter received 5/22/25, we have expanded the pre-construction survey protocols in MM BIO-1 to address both burrowing owl and nesting birds by including concurrent nesting bird surveys. With the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough, MM BIO-1 is hereby amended to read:
BIO-1 Burrowing Owl and Migratory Bird Surveys
A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys following the CDFW (2012 or current) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, combined with nesting bird surveys in compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). on the northern parcel of the Project site during Phase 2.
The first shall occur between 14 and 30 days prior to ground disturbance, and the 1460
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
second shall occur within 24 hours of ground disturbance. If the pre-construction surveys confirm burrowing owl presence, the Project applicant shall submit a Burrowing Owl Plan that includes avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to the USFWS and CDFW—collectively the Wildlife Agencies—for review and approval prior to beginning Project activities. The Project proponent shall coordinate with the Wildlife Agencies on the appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. If avoidance of burrowing owl is not possible, coordination with the Wildlife Agencies for a burrowing owl relocation plan is required pursuant Section 4.4 and Section 8.5.2 of the CVMSHCP. 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.
If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffer(s), which shall remain onsite until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.
Mitigation Monitoring:
BIO-A Prior to the issuance of any permit to allow ground disturbance on the northern parcel of the site, the Project Proponent shall submit the pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl and nesting birds to the City.
Pre-construction surveys: No less than 14 days prior to start of Project- related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance and when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days.
If a Burrowing Owl Plan or a Burrowing Owl Relocation Plan is required, the Plan(s) shall be submitted to the City, USFWS and CDFW for approval prior to the issuance of grading permits.
Responsible Parties: Project applicant, project biologist, Planning Division.
The proposed revision to MM BIO-1 enhances the Project’s environmental safeguards, addressing USFWS concerns in Comment 3 (and Comment 4), while maintaining compliance 1461
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
with CEQA requirements. The inclusion of nesting bird surveys does not introduce new significant environmental impacts or substantially alter the project’s scope, as it strengthens an existing mitigation measure to further minimize potential effects on nesting birds.
Comment 4:
Burrowing Owl
The Western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea; burrowing owl) is protected under the MBTA and is a Covered Species under the CVMSHCP. However, the Service’s section 10(a)(1)(B) Permit for the CVMSHCP does not provide Take for burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. Within the CVMSHCP boundary, as a Permittee, the City must ensure their activities comply with MBTA and implement the appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to avoid Take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs.
The draft ISMND states that the northern portion of the Project site has potential for burrowing owl presence due to its sparse vegetation. However, the draft ISMND does not indicate that focused burrowing owl surveys were completed. Pursuant to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version), for both breeding and non-breeding season surveys, a minimum of four survey visits are required to accurately assess a site for burrowing owl presence. Given the lack of multiple, focused burrowing owl surveys, the total number of burrowing owl individuals or suitable and occupied burrows within the Project area is unknown. Please revise the draft ISMND to include an accurate assessment of the Project’s potential impacts to burrowing owl, including focused survey results following the protocols outlined in the 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation.
Additionally, Mitigation Measure (MM) BIO-1 requires take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys and subsequent consultation with CDFW should burrowing owl presence be confirmed. MM-BIO-1 lacks further detail regarding the survey methodology for the preconstruction surveys. We recommend that MM-BIO-1 be revised to specify that the preconstruction surveys shall be completed in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. In addition, we recommend that MM-BIO-1 be revised to require that, if the preconstruction surveys confirm burrowing owl presence, the Project applicant shall submit a Burrowing Owl Plan that includes avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to the Service and CDFW—collectively the Wildlife Agencies—for review and approval prior to beginning Project activities. The Project proponent shall coordinate with the Wildlife Agencies on the appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. If avoidance of burrowing owl is not possible, coordination with the Wildlife Agencies for a burrowing owl relocation plan is required pursuant Section 4.4 and Section 8.5.2 of the CVMSHCP.
Response 4:
See Response 3, above, which revises MM BIO-1 to clarify that take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys shall follow the CDFW (2012 or current) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl 1462

Response to Comments
Mitigation, which addresses USFW’s concerns about compliance with CDFW survey protocol.
Per CDFW’s 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, “take avoidance surveys are intended to detect the presence of burrowing owls on a project site at a fixed period in time and inform necessary take avoidance actions.” The two pre-construction surveys, as required by amended MM BIO-1, are standard, effective measures to detect any transient or resident owls immediately prior to construction.
The USFWS’s concern for burrowing owl protection and their recommendation for a minimum of four survey visits to assess owl presence is noted. However, the revised MM BIO-1, requiring two preconstruction take surveys for burrowing owls in accordance with CDFW protocols, provides an appropriate approach to confirming owl presence given existing site conditions (see Response 2). The Armtec site’s highly disturbed conditions—due to ongoing vehicle and personnel activity, heavy machinery, truck deliveries, and noise and light pollution—render it less suitable for burrowing owls, which prefer low-disturbance habitats. The two required surveys, conducted by qualified biologists, are sufficient to detect potential owl activity prior to construction, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations while addressing site-specific conditions. No additional surveys or revisions to the ISMND are necessary.

Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State. (Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subd. (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines § 15386, subd. (a).) CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. (Id., § 1802.) Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on Projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources.
CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381.) CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. As proposed, for example, the Project may be subject to CDFW’s lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority. (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.) Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take” as defined by State law of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), the Project proponent may seek related take authorization as provided by the Fish and Game Code.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
Proponent: Armtec Defense Products Co.
Objective: Armtec's existing industrial and manufacturing operations currently are located on the southern parcel, and the northern parcel currently contains a ±33,900 sf ground mounted solar grid located on the eastern half of the parcel. The proposed Project is Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the three-phase Armtec Expansion Master Plan. The Project proposes the construction of a new 15,000 sf storage warehouse, a ±73,200 truck staging area and 9,900 sf retention basin on the northern parcel, and a new 3,000 SF research and development (R&D) and production facility and two retention basins totaling 65,750 sf on the southern parcel. Phase 3 includes the construction of a new 15,000 SF production facility, a new 15,000 sf storage warehouse, two new 900 sf storage structures, and a 6,000 sf expansion of an existing storage warehouse, all located on the southern parcel.
The Project proposes off-site improvements adjacent to the site, including the widening and improvements of Tyler Street. The Project proposes new interior and exterior building lighting and safety and security lighting. The Project also proposes 97,000 SF of landscaping, on- and off-site, including landscaping around new buildings and within offsite street improvements.
Location: The Project is located at 85901 Avenue 53 in City of Coachella, Riverside County, California. The Project site consists of two parcels totaling approximately 52.65 acres in size, identified by assessor's parcel numbers (APNs) 778-420-013 (14.96 acres) and 778-390-008 (37.69 acres).
Timeframe: The MND proposes a construction timeframe from June 2025 through December 2026 for Phase 2. The timing for construction of Phase 3 is currently undetermined. 1464

COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CDFW has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (i.e., biological resources). CDFW offers the comments and recommendations below to assist the City in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, direct and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources. The MND has not adequately identified and disclosed the Project’s impacts (i.e., direct, indirect, and cumulative) on biological resources and whether those impacts are reduced to less than significant.
CDFW’s comments and recommendations on the MND are explained in greater detail below and summarized here. CDFW is concerned that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW requests that additional information and analyses be added to a revised MND, along with avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures that avoid or reduce impacts to a level less than significant.

The comment is noted. Individual responses to specific issues are provided below.
Comment 3:
Existing Environmental Setting
Compliance with CEQA is predicated on a complete and accurate description of the environmental setting that may be affected by the proposed Project. CDFW is concerned that the assessment of the existing environmental setting has not been adequately analyzed in the MND. CDFW is concerned that without a complete and accurate description of the existing environmental setting, the MND may provide an incomplete analysis of Project-related environmental impacts.
The MND lacks a complete and appropriate assessment of biological resources within the Project site and surrounding area specifically as it relates burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) and nesting birds, as discussed in the Nesting Bird and Burrowing Owl sections below. A complete and accurate assessment of the environmental setting and Project-related impacts to biological resources is needed to both identify appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures and demonstrate that these measures reduce Project impacts to less than significant.

Mitigation Measures
CEQA requires that an MND include mitigation measures to avoid or reduce significant impacts.
CDFW is concerned that the mitigation measures proposed in the MND are not adequate to avoid or reduce impacts to biological resources to below a level of significance. To support the City in ensuring that Project impacts to biological resources are reduced to less than significant, CDFW recommends revising the mitigation measure for burrowing owl and adding mitigation measures for nesting birds, artificial nighttime lighting, and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP).

The comment is noted, but is overbroad and does not identify what information about nesting birds, burrowing owl, and additional mitigation measures they believe is missing. Further discussion is provided below under each specific subject.
Comment 4:
1) Nesting Birds
It is the Project proponent’s responsibility to comply with all applicable laws related to nesting birds and birds of prey. Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.).
With regard to the CVMSHCP, per its associated Implementing Agreement (IA) and Permits from CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Wildlife Agencies), Take associated with Covered Activities will not be in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and will be consistent with Fish and Game Code sections 3503 and 3503.5; therefore, all Covered Activities within and outside Conservation Areas must undertake measures to avoid the take of individuals, nests, and eggs of nesting birds. The CVMSHCP includes a general conservation measure that applies to all bird species to avoid impacts to habitat for nesting birds during the nesting season (CVMSHCP Section 9.7). Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect nesting birds. 1466

Response to Comments
vegetation that could provide suitable habitat for nesting birds.” The MND lacks additional information on suitability of the Project site to support nesting birds (excluding burrowing owl).
CDFW is concerned about the validity of the conclusion that the site does not provide suitable habitat for nesting birds. The Project site currently contains suitable habitat for ground-nesting birds such as killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), and shrubs have the potential to establish between grading and vegetation removal activities that can provide suitable habitat for nesting birds.
CDFW recommends the MND is revised to include an accurate assessment of biological resources within the Project site as it relates to suitable habitat for nesting birds. The MND also lacks a mitigation measure for nesting birds. Given the suitability of the Project site to currently support ground-nesting birds and potentially support birds that nest in shrubs if vegetation establishes between maintenance activities, CDFW considers the MND to lack appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant.
CDFW also recommends the completion of nesting bird surveys regardless of the time of year to ensure that impacts to nesting birds and their nests and eggs are avoided. The timing of the nesting season varies greatly depending on several factors, such as bird species, weather conditions in any given year, and long-term climate changes (e.g., drought, warming, etc.). In response to warming, birds have been reported to breed earlier, thereby reducing temperatures that nests are exposed to during breeding and tracking shifts in availability of resources (Socolar et al., 20172). CDFW staff have observed that climate change conditions may result in the nesting bird season occurring earlier and later in the year than historical nesting season dates.
CDFW recommends that disturbance of occupied nests of migratory birds and raptors within the Project site and surrounding area be avoided any time birds are nesting on-site.
To support City in reducing impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant level, CDFW recommends that the City add Mitigation Measure BIO-[A] to a revised MND:
Mitigation Measure BIO-[A]: Nesting Birds
Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than 3 days prior to all vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities throughout all portions of the Project. Pre- construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the 1467

Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.
Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, section 15097(f), CDFW has prepared a draft mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) in Attachment 1 for recommended revisions to MM BIO-1 and CDFW-recommended MM BIO-[A], MM BIO-[B], and MM BIO-[C].
Response 4:
The comment is noted. Most onsite vegetation is limited to areas of ornamental landscaping on the southern parcel, as shown in Exhibit 2: Project Location Map, and will not be impacted by Project improvements, as shown in Exhibit 3: Armtec Expansion Master Plan, and Exhibits 4:
and 5: Phase 2 Preliminary Site Plan Northern Parcel/Southern Parcel. For clarification, the portions of the project site where proposed improvements and ground disturbance will occur are graded, predominantly bare soil surfaces that have been leveled and compacted, with minimal vegetation consisting of sparse, low-density patches of short grass or herbaceous growth.
Furthermore, the site is heavily disturbed by existing Armtec facility operations, including daily vehicle and personnel activity, heavy machinery use, truck deliveries, and existing noise and light pollution from onsite and nearby development, which collectively deter species from occupying the site.
Please refer to the supplemental site photographs provided in Response 2 to the USFWS Comment 2 at the beginning of this document.
In response to this comment and the USFWS comment letter received 5/21/25, the City has expanded the pre-construction survey protocols in MM BIO-1 to address concerns regarding potential impacts to nesting birds and added clarifying text regarding burrowing owl survey protocols. Please see USFWS Response 3.
The proposed revision to MM BIO-1 enhances the Project’s environmental safeguards, addressing CDFW and USFWS concerns regarding nesting birds, while maintaining compliance with CEQA requirements. The inclusion of nesting bird surveys does not introduce new significant environmental impacts or substantially alter the project’s scope, as it strengthens an existing mitigation measure to further minimize potential effects on nesting birds.
Comment 5:
2) Burrowing Owl
On October 10, 2024, the Fish and Game Commission determined that western burrowing owl warrants protection as a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.). During the candidacy period, western burrowing owl will be afforded the same protection as threatened and endangered species under CESA. If Project activities, including relocation, could result in take, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained prior to commencement of Project activities.
1468
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
Take of individual burrowing owls and their nests or eggs is defined by Fish and Game Code section 86, and prohibited by sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513. Take is defined in Fish and Game Code section 86 as “hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill.” Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.).
With regard to the CVMSHCP, the CDFW Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Permit #2835-2008-001-06 does not provide Take Authorization for burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. To the contrary, section 3.5.6 of the NCCP Permit states burrowing owl “pairs or individuals will not be Taken” and reiterates that the “HCP/NCCP does not authorize Take of [burrowing owl] nests [or] eggs[.]” Therefore, throughout the CVMSHCP area—both within and without Conservation Areas— Permittees must ensure that activities occurring within their jurisdictions do not result in the take, possession, or destruction of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs.
Any activity occurring within the CVMSHCP area that results in the take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs would be unlawful and would not be a Covered Activity under the CVMSHCP. Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect burrowing owls.
covered sparsely with vegetation, there is potential of burrowing owl to be present. The CVMSHCP and State law prohibit the take of burrowing owl. Should burrowing owl be found on the northern portion of the property prior to construction of Phase 2, a significant impact would occur. To assure that potential impacts are avoided, Mitigation Measure BIO.1 is provided below, which requires pre-construction surveys of the northern parcel to assure that the species is not present, and/or to protect the species should it be identified on-site.” CDFW concurs that the Project site contains suitable habitat for burrowing owl; however, the MND and its supporting documents lack additional information on burrowing owl presence, including the results of focused surveys for burrowing owl. Given the MND’s lack of findings from focused surveys for burrowing owl following the guidelines in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation3, the number and locations of suitable and occupied burrows within the Project site and surrounding areas are unknown. Given the lack of results from focused surveys following recommended protocols and the lack of survey reports, CDFW is limited in its ability to provide biological expertise to support the City in reducing impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant.
CDFW recommends that the MND is revised to include the results of focused surveys, including survey reports, for burrowing owl within the Project site and surrounding area following the 1469
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
guidelines outlined in Appendix D of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation; and to incorporate appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures for burrowing owl.
The MND includes Mitigation Measure BIO-1, which indicates that a “qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys on the northern parcel of the Project site during Phase 2. 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.” CDFW finds Mitigation Measure BIO-1 to be insufficient in scope and timing to reduce impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant. For example, Mitigation Measure BIO-1 lacks details on appropriate survey methods for burrowing owl and methods of avoiding impacts to burrowing owl if they are observed within the Project site and/or surrounding areas.
The MND also indicates that burrowing owl exclusion may be implemented by the Project.
Burrowing owl relocation is considered a potentially significant impact under CEQA and should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated. Burrowing owl relocation (i.e., eviction/passive and active relocation) can result in take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs, which is not authorized under the CVMSHCP. Consultation with CDFW is warranted to determine if an Incidental Take Permit is necessary to avoid a violation of Fish and Game code section 2080. CDFW recommends that the City revise Mitigation Measure BIO-1 with the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough:
Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Burrowing Owl Focused and Pre-Construction Surveys Suitable burrowing owl habitat has been confirmed on the site; therefore, focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a CVMSHCP-approved Acceptable Biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities for all phases of Project construction. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities.

Response to Comments
Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a CVMSHCP-approved Acceptable Biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys on the northern parcel of the Project site during Phase 2. 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.
Response 5:
See USFWS Response 3 and 4, above, which revises MM BIO-1 to clarify that take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys shall follow the CDFW (2012 or current) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, and includes protocol for determining appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures if burrowing owl is detected. MM BIO-1, as amended, sufficiently summarizes CDFWs requests made in Comment 5.
Comment 6:
3) Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Local Development Mitigation Fee
The Project is located within the CVMSHCP Plan Boundary and outside of a Conservation Area and contains habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities. Page 120 of the MND states that the “site is subject to payment of the Development Mitigation Fee to mitigate potential impacts to covered species under the CVMSHCP.” Per CVMSHCP Section 5.2.1.1 and IA Sections 12.2.1 and 13.2, the City is obligated to impose a local development mitigation fee for new development within the Plan Area that impacts vacant land containing Habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities, including small vacant lots within urban areas that contain natural open space, and to transmit collected fees to CVCC at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats. To document the City’s obligation to impose and transmit a Local Development Mitigation Fee for this Project, CDFW recommends the City add the following mitigation measure to a revised MND:
1471
Item 3.
Armtec Expansion Master Plan
Response to Comments
Mitigation Measure BIO-[B]: CVMSHCP Compliance
Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission.
Response 6:
The comment is noted. However, as allowed under CEQA, requirements of law are not mitigation measures, and are assumed to be implemented. Because the payment of the CVMSHCP fee is a requirement by the City, as stated in the Initial Study, its payment will reduce impacts to less than significant levels, and no mitigation measure is required.
Comment 7:
4) Artificial Nighttime Lighting
The Project site is located adjacent to vacant areas within the larger Armtec facility that provide suitable burrowing, nesting, roosting, foraging, and refugia habitat for birds, migratory birds that fly at night, and other nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife. The Project proposes “light and glare from interior and exterior building lighting, safety and security lighting” (page 24 of the MND).
The Project’s proposed artificial nighttime lighting has the potential to significantly and adversely affect biological resources using these vacant areas within the larger Armtec facility. Artificial lighting alters ecological processes including, but not limited to, the temporal niches of species; the repair and recovery of physiological function; the measurement of time through interference with the detection of circadian and lunar and seasonal cycles; the detection of resources and natural enemies; and navigation. Many species use photoperiod cues for communication (e.g., bird song5), determining when to begin foraging, behavioral thermoregulation, and migration.
Phototaxis, a phenomenon that results in attraction and movement towards light, can disorient, entrap, and temporarily blind wildlife species that experience it.
reflective surfaces and spillage of light onto adjacent properties.” CDFW considers these plans to minimize the impacts of artificial nighttime lighting to be insufficient in slope to reduce the impacts of lighting to level less than significant. To support the City in avoiding or reducing impacts of artificial nighttime lighting on biological resources to less than significant, CDFW recommends the City add the following mitigation measure to a revised MND:
Mitigation Measure BIO-[C]: Artificial Nighttime Lighting Throughout construction and the lifetime operations of the Project, the City and Project proponent shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all 1472

lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/). The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting with a correlated color temperature of 3,000 Kelvins or less, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler.
Response 7:
The commenter’s opinion is noted, but provides no substantial evidence that the Project will result in substantial lighting that exceeds current lighting levels, or that the lighting proposed for the Project will impact biological resources. The Project is the expansion of the existing Armtec facilities. Lighting conditions in this area are already affected by existing Armtec facilities, including security lighting and vehicles accessing the site, traffic on adjacent streets and surrounding residential development. As stated in the ISMND (pg 24) “[l]ighting and glare levels are not expected to exceed typical levels that currently exist on-site and within the surrounding urban environment and will be regulated by City lighting standards.” The addition of Project lighting on the existing Armtec site will not change the lighting environment for biological resources, and no mitigation is required.
Comment 8:
5) Landscaping
The MND indicates that the Project’s landscaping will include “median and landscaping improvements” associated with the widening of Tyler Street (page 5), and “97,000 SF of landscaping, on- and off-site” (page 31). No additional details are provided on landscaping plans in the MND. CDFW recommends that the MND include recommendations regarding landscaping from Section 4.0 of the CVMSHCP “Table 4-112: Coachella Valley Native Plants Recommended for Landscaping” (pp. 4-180 to 4- 182; https://cvmshcp.org/plan-documents/). CDFW also recommends incorporation of water-wise concepts in any Project landscape design plans. In particular, CDFW recommends xeriscaping with locally native California species and installing water- efficient and targeted irrigation systems (such as drip irrigation). Native plants support butterflies, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, bees, and other pollinators that evolved with those plants. More information on native plants suitable for the Project location and nearby nurseries is available at Calscape: https://calscape.org/. Local water agencies/cities and resource conservation cities in your area may be able to provide information on plant nurseries that carry locally native species, and some facilities display drought-tolerant locally native species demonstration gardens. Information on drought-tolerant landscaping and water-efficient irrigation systems is available on California’s Save our Water website:

The comment is noted. The Project is required to comply with both the City’s water efficient landscaping standards and CWA’s water conservation requirements in landscaping, which include water budgeting for landscaped areas. The Project will therefore be regulated to assure low water use in landscaping, as clearly stated in the Initial Study.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e).) Accordingly, please report any special-status species and natural communities detected during Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB field survey form can be filled out and submitted online at the following link:
https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Submitting-Data. The types of information reported to CNDDB can be found at the following link: https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Plants-andAnimals.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT FILING FEES
The Project, as proposed, would have an impact on fish and/or wildlife, and assessment of environmental document filing fees is necessary. Fees are payable upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the Lead Agency and serve to help defray the cost of environmental review by CDFW. Payment of the environmental document filing fee is required in order for the underlying Project approval to be operative, vested, and final. (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, § 753.5; Fish & G.
Code, § 711.4; Pub. Resources Code, § 21089.)
CONCLUSION
CDFW appreciates the opportunity to comment on the MND to assist the City in identifying and mitigating Project impacts to biological resources. CDFW concludes that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW recommends that revised and additional mitigation measures and analysis as described in this letter be added to a revised MND.
CDFW personnel are available for consultation regarding biological resources and strategies to avoid and minimize impacts. Questions regarding this letter or further coordination should be directed to Jacob Skaggs, Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist, at [email protected].

Letter dated May 19, 2025
Comment 1:
On April 23, 2025, the Imperial Irrigation District received from the City of Coachella Development Services Department, the Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Armtec Expansion Master Plan; Environmental Assessment 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 389, Architectural Review 25-02. The project proposes 37,800 sq. ft. in new storage facilities, 3,000 sq. ft. in new research and development/small production facilities, 15,000 sq. ft. in new production facilities, a ±73,200 sq. ft. truck staging area, and three retention basins. The project also includes off-site improvements adjacent to the site, including the widening and improvements of Tyler Street. The proposed project is Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the three-phased Armtec Expansion Master Plan. Phase 1 of the Master Plan, which is not part of the project, was the construction of a ±33,900 sq. ft. ground-mounted solar grid and seven solar parking canopies on the northern parcel of the existing 52.65-acre Armtec Defense Technologies (Armtec) site located at 85901 Avenue 53 in Coachella, CA (APNs 778-420-013, 778-390-008).
IID has reviewed the project information has the following comments:
1. Based on the preliminary information provided to the IID, the district can accommodate the proposed project by the addition of new backbone line extensions, upgrades and reconfigurations to create ties with adjacent circuits in the area and extend electrical service to the proposed development. Based on current 2025 IID rates, a high-level cost estimate of these improvements amounts to $355,000 (subject to change without notice, including for adjustments in costs of materials, supply or labor). It is important to note, new backbone lines extensions, upgrades or reconfigurations to create ties with adjacent circuits in the area with existing IID facilities will be required, all of which are at the expense of the Developer. The conditions of service could change as a result of the additional studies.
2. It is important to note that a feasibility study will be developed once a customer project application and approved plans and loading calculations are received. This detailed information will allow IID to perform an accurate assessment and provide a full report of any potential impacts and mitigation measures as well as costs. The conditions of service could change as a result of the additional studies. The cost of any technical assessment shall be borne by the applicant.

15. Dividing a project into two or more pieces and evaluating each piece in a separate environmental document (Piecemealing or Segmenting), rather than evaluating the whole of the project in one environmental document, is explicitly forbidden by CEQA, because dividing a project into a number of pieces would allow a Lead Agency to minimize the apparent environmental impacts of a project by evaluating individual pieces separately, each of which may have a less-than-significant impact on the environment, but which together may result in a significant impact. Segmenting a project may also hinder developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. In general, if an activity or facility is necessary for the operation of a project, or necessary to achieve the project objectives, or a reasonably foreseeable consequence of approving the project, then it should be considered an integral project component that should be analyzed within the environmental analysis. The project description should include all project components, including those that will have to be approved by responsible agencies. The State CEQA Guidelines define a project under CEQA as "the whole of the action" that may result either directly or indirectly in physical changes to the environment. This broad definition is intended to provide the maximum protection of the environment. CEQA case law has established general principles on project segmentation for different project types. For a project requiring construction of offsite infrastructure, the offsite infrastructure must be included in the project description. San Joaquin Raptor/Wildlife Rescue Center v.
County of Stanislaus (1994) 27 Cal.App. 4th 713.
16. When the project goes through the CEQA compliance process, it is important to bear in mind that to address the project impacts to the electrical utility (i.e., the IID electrical grid), considered under the environmental factor "Utilities and Services" of the Environmental Checklist/Initial Study, and determine if the project would require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded electric power facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects; a circuit study/distribution impact study, facility study, and/or system impact study must be performed.
Response 2:
The ISMND complies with CEQA in that it considers the “whole action,” both Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Armtec Master Plan, and includes description of electricity services and infrastructure in the Utilities and Service Systems and Energy sections, including the required connections to nearby existing infrastructure. Project specific utility improvement plans will be reviewed and approved by the City in conjunction with the ISMND.

Subject: Draft Initial Study and Intent to Adopt Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Armtec Expansion Master Plan, City of Coachella, Riverside County, California Dear Adrian Moreno:
This letter is in response to the notice dated April 22, 2025, soliciting comments on the draft Initial Study and Intent to Adopt Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Armtec Expansion Master Plan (Project), located in the City of Coachella, Riverside County, California.
The Project applicant, Armtec Defense Technologies proposes to construct new storage, research and development, and production facilities totaling to 37,800 square feet (sf), a 73,200-sf staging area, three retention basins, and off-site improvements adjacent to the Project site.
We offer the following comments on the draft ISMND as they relate to potential impacts on public trust resources. The primary concern and mandate of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish and wildlife resources and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service has legal responsibility for the welfare of migratory birds, anadromous fish, and threatened or endangered animals and plants listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The comments provided herein are based on the information provided in the draft ISMND and our knowledge of sensitive and declining fish and wildlife resources.
The Project site is located within the boundary of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), and the City of Coachella (City) is a Local Permittee to the CVMSHCP. The Project site is adjacent to CVMSHCP-modeled habitat for the following Covered Species: crissal thrasher (Toxostoma crissale), least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), summer tanager (Piranga rubra cooperi), yellow-breasted chat (Icteria virens), and yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia brewsteri). The Project applicant completed Phase 1 of the Project which was the construction of a solar grid in early 2025. Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Armtec Expansion Master Plan are the subject of this draft ISMND. As stated above, Phase 2 includes construction of a 15,000-sf storage warehouse, a 73,000-sf truck staging area, a 3,000-sf research and development facility, and three retention basins, totaling 75,650 sf. Phase 3 includes the 1481
Item 3.
Adrian Moreno (2025-0098153-CEQA-TA-ERV) 2
construction of a 15,000-sf production facility, a 15,000-sf storage warehouse, two 900-sf storage structures, and an expansion of an existing storage warehouse by 6,000 sf. The proposed Project also includes off-site improvements, including improving and widening Tyler Street.
The draft ISMND states that flora and fauna were observed during the field reconnaissance of the Project site on June 6, 2024, as part of the Archaeological and Paleontological Resources Assessment. However, the draft ISMND does not indicate completion of additional biological field surveys or include a biological resources assessment. A biological resources assessment is necessary to accurately assess the Project’s potential impacts to fish and wildlife resources.
Please revise the draft ISMND to include a biological resources assessment, including impacts to Covered Species (identified above) under the CVMSHCP and their habitat.
Nesting Birds
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq) prohibits take of individuals, parts, nests, or eggs of migratory birds. “Take” is defined in the Service’s general wildlife regulations as “to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or attempt to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect (50 C.F.R. § 10.12).” The Service’s section 10(a)(1)(B) Permit associated with the CVMSHCP constitutes a Special Purpose Permit under the MBTA for the Take of Covered Species. However, only Take of migratory bird habitat is provided, and the Permit states that “[a]ny such Take will not be in violation of the MBTA.” Therefore, Take of individuals, parts, nests, or eggs, as described in the MBTA is not authorized in the Special Purpose Permit, and any Take of migratory bird habitat associated with Covered Activities will not be in violation of the MBTA.
The draft ISMND states that the Project site has low potential to provide nesting opportunities due to the disturbed nature of the vegetation and soils and concludes that the proposed Project’s potential impacts to migratory bird species are negligible. Although the Project site is disturbed, the presence of sparse vegetation, particularly cover of shrubs, is suitable habitat for ground-nesting birds.
Furthermore, bare ground or sparse vegetation cover constitutes suitable nesting habitat for some ground-nesting birds. The proposed ground disturbance may consequently result in unauthorized Take of migratory birds without implementation of the necessary avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. Additionally, the draft ISMND does not indicate completion of focused nesting bird surveys. Focused nesting bird surveys are necessary to accurately confirm nesting bird presence or absence on the Project site. A complete assessment of the biological resources within the Project area is required to assess the Project’s potential impacts to migratory birds.
Please revise the draft ISMND to include a complete assessment of the Project’s potential impacts to nesting bird habitat, including completion of nesting bird surveys during the appropriate time of year, to determine the extent of nesting birds on the Project site.
Burrowing Owl
The Western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea; burrowing owl) is protected under the MBTA and is a Covered Species under the CVMSHCP. However, the Service’s section 10(a)(1)(B) Permit for the CVMSHCP does not provide Take for burrowing owl individuals, 1482
Item 3.
Adrian Moreno (2025-0098153-CEQA-TA-ERV) 3
nests, or eggs. Within the CVMSHCP boundary, as a Permittee, the City must ensure their activities comply with MBTA and implement the appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to avoid Take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs.
The draft ISMND states that the northern portion of the Project site has potential for burrowing owl presence due to its sparse vegetation. However, the draft ISMND does not indicate that focused burrowing owl surveys were completed. Pursuant to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version), for both breeding and non-breeding season surveys, a minimum of four survey visits are required to accurately assess a site for burrowing owl presence. Given the lack of multiple, focused burrowing owl surveys, the total number of burrowing owl individuals or suitable and occupied burrows within the Project area is unknown. Please revise the draft ISMND to include an accurate assessment of the Project’s potential impacts to burrowing owl, including focused survey results following the protocols outlined in the 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation.
Additionally, Mitigation Measure (MM) BIO-1 requires take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys and subsequent consultation with CDFW should burrowing owl presence be confirmed.
MM-BIO-1 lacks further detail regarding the survey methodology for the pre-construction surveys.
We recommend that MM-BIO-1 be revised to specify that the pre-construction surveys shall be completed in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. In addition, we recommend that MM-BIO-1 be revised to require that, if the pre-construction surveys confirm burrowing owl presence, the Project applicant shall submit a Burrowing Owl Plan that includes avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to the Service and CDFW—collectively the Wildlife Agencies—for review and approval prior to beginning Project activities. The Project proponent shall coordinate with the Wildlife Agencies on the appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to be included in the Burrowing Owl Plan. If avoidance of burrowing owl is not possible, coordination with the Wildlife Agencies for a burrowing owl relocation plan is required pursuant Section 4.4 and Section 8.5.2 of the CVMSHCP.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the draft ISMND. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Lory Salazar-Velasquez. 1 Sincerely,
Brian Croft

Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
SCH# 2025041097
Dear Adrian Moreno:
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration from the City of Coachella (City) for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. 1 Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife.
Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.
CDFW ROLE
CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State. (Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subd. (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines § 15386, subd. (a).) CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. (Id., § 1802.) Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on Projects and related
1CEQA is codified in the California Public Resources Code in section 21000 et seq. The “CEQA Guidelines” are found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, commencing with section 15000. 1484

activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources.
CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA. (Pub.
Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381.) CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. As proposed, for example, the Project may be subject to CDFW’s lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority. (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.) Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take” as defined by State law of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), the Project proponent may seek related take authorization as provided by the Fish and Game Code.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
Proponent: Armtec Defense Products Co.
Objective: Armtec's existing industrial and manufacturing operations currently are located on the southern parcel, and the northern parcel currently contains a ±33,900 sf ground mounted solar grid located on the eastern half of the parcel. The proposed Project is Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the three-phase Armtec Expansion Master Plan. The Project proposes the construction of a new 15,000 sf storage warehouse, a ±73,200 truck staging area and 9,900 sf retention basin on the northern parcel, and a new 3,000 SF research and development (R&D) and production facility and two retention basins totaling 65,750 sf on the southern parcel. Phase 3 includes the construction of a new 15,000 SF production facility, a new 15,000 sf storage warehouse, two new 900 sf storage structures, and a 6,000 sf expansion of an existing storage warehouse, all located on the southern parcel.
The Project proposes off-site improvements adjacent to the site, including the widening and improvements of Tyler Street. The Project proposes new interior and exterior building lighting and safety and security lighting. The Project also proposes 97,000 SF of landscaping, on- and off-site, including landscaping around new buildings and within offsite street improvements.
Location: The Project is located at 85901 Avenue 53 in City of Coachella, Riverside County, California. The Project site consists of two parcels totaling approximately 52.65 acres in size, identified by assessor's parcel numbers (APNs) 778-420-013 (14.96 acres) and 778-390-008 (37.69 acres).
Timeframe: The MND proposes a construction timeframe from June 2025 through December 2026 for Phase 2. The timing for construction of Phase 3 is currently undetermined.

CDFW has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (i.e., biological resources). CDFW offers the comments and recommendations below to assist the City in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, direct and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources. The MND has not adequately identified and disclosed the Project’s impacts (i.e., direct, indirect, and cumulative) on biological resources and whether those impacts are reduced to less than significant.
CDFW’s comments and recommendations on the MND are explained in greater detail below and summarized here. CDFW is concerned that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW requests that additional information and analyses be added to a revised MND, along with avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures that avoid or reduce impacts to a level less than significant.
Existing Environmental Setting
Compliance with CEQA is predicated on a complete and accurate description of the environmental setting that may be affected by the proposed Project. CDFW is concerned that the assessment of the existing environmental setting has not been adequately analyzed in the MND. CDFW is concerned that without a complete and accurate description of the existing environmental setting, the MND may provide an incomplete analysis of Project-related environmental impacts.
The MND lacks a complete and appropriate assessment of biological resources within the Project site and surrounding area specifically as it relates burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) and nesting birds, as discussed in the Nesting Bird and Burrowing Owl sections below. A complete and accurate assessment of the environmental setting and Project-related impacts to biological resources is needed to both identify appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures and demonstrate that these measures reduce Project impacts to less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
CEQA requires that an MND include mitigation measures to avoid or reduce significant impacts. CDFW is concerned that the mitigation measures proposed in the MND are not adequate to avoid or reduce impacts to biological resources to below a level of significance. To support the City in ensuring that Project impacts to biological resources are reduced to less than significant, CDFW recommends revising the mitigation measure for burrowing owl and adding mitigation measures for nesting birds, artificial nighttime lighting, and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP).

It is the Project proponent’s responsibility to comply with all applicable laws related to nesting birds and birds of prey. Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.).
With regard to the CVMSHCP, per its associated Implementing Agreement (IA) and Permits from CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Wildlife Agencies), Take associated with Covered Activities will not be in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and will be consistent with Fish and Game Code sections 3503 and 3503.5; therefore, all Covered Activities within and outside Conservation Areas must undertake measures to avoid the take of individuals, nests, and eggs of nesting birds. The CVMSHCP includes a general conservation measure that applies to all bird species to avoid impacts to habitat for nesting birds during the nesting season (CVMSHCP Section
9.7). Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect nesting birds.
contain vegetation that could provide suitable habitat for nesting birds.” The MND lacks additional information on suitability of the Project site to support nesting birds (excluding burrowing owl). CDFW is concerned about the validity of the conclusion that the site does not provide suitable habitat for nesting birds. The Project site currently contains suitable habitat for ground-nesting birds such as killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), and shrubs have the potential to establish between grading and vegetation removal activities that can provide suitable habitat for nesting birds. CDFW recommends the MND is revised to include an accurate assessment of biological resources within the Project site as it relates to suitable habitat for nesting birds. The MND also lacks a mitigation measure for nesting birds. Given the suitability of the Project site to currently support ground-nesting birds and potentially support birds that nest in shrubs if vegetation establishes between maintenance activities, CDFW considers the MND to lack appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant.
CDFW also recommends the completion of nesting bird surveys regardless of the time of year to ensure that impacts to nesting birds and their nests and eggs are avoided.
The timing of the nesting season varies greatly depending on several factors, such as 1487

bird species, weather conditions in any given year, and long-term climate changes (e.g., drought, warming, etc.). In response to warming, birds have been reported to breed earlier, thereby reducing temperatures that nests are exposed to during breeding and tracking shifts in availability of resources (Socolar et al., 20172). CDFW staff have observed that climate change conditions may result in the nesting bird season occurring earlier and later in the year than historical nesting season dates. CDFW recommends that disturbance of occupied nests of migratory birds and raptors within the Project site and surrounding area be avoided any time birds are nesting on-site.
To support City in reducing impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant level, CDFW recommends that the City add Mitigation Measure BIO-[A] to a revised MND:
Mitigation Measure BIO-[A]: Nesting Birds
Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than 3 days prior to all vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities throughout all portions of the Project. Preconstruction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.
Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, section 15097(f), CDFW has prepared a draft mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) in Attachment 1 for recommended revisions to MM BIO-1 and CDFW-recommended MM BIO-[A], MM BIO-[B], and MM BIO-[C].

2) Burrowing Owl
On October 10, 2024, the Fish and Game Commission determined that western burrowing owl warrants protection as a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.). During the candidacy period, western burrowing owl will be afforded the same protection as threatened and endangered species under CESA. If Project activities, including relocation, could result in take, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained prior to commencement of Project activities.
Take of individual burrowing owls and their nests or eggs is defined by Fish and Game Code section 86, and prohibited by sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513. Take is defined in Fish and Game Code section 86 as “hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill.” Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.).
With regard to the CVMSHCP, the CDFW Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Permit #2835-2008-001-06 does not provide Take Authorization for burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. To the contrary, section 3.5.6 of the NCCP Permit states burrowing owl “pairs or individuals will not be Taken” and reiterates that the “HCP/NCCP does not authorize Take of [burrowing owl] nests [or] eggs[.]” Therefore, throughout the CVMSHCP area—both within and without Conservation Areas— Permittees must ensure that activities occurring within their jurisdictions do not result in the take, possession, or destruction of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. Any activity occurring within the CVMSHCP area that results in the take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs would be unlawful and would not be a Covered Activity under the CVMSHCP. Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect burrowing owls.

burrowing owl be found on the northern portion of the property prior to construction of Phase 2, a significant impact would occur. To assure that potential impacts are avoided, Mitigation Measure BIO.1 is provided below, which requires pre-construction surveys of the northern parcel to assure that the species is not present, and/or to protect the species should it be identified on-site.” CDFW concurs that the Project site contains suitable habitat for burrowing owl; however, the MND and its supporting documents lack additional information on burrowing owl presence, including the results of focused surveys for burrowing owl. Given the MND’s lack of findings from focused surveys for burrowing owl following the guidelines in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation3, the number and locations of suitable and occupied burrows within the Project site and surrounding areas are unknown. Given the lack of results from focused surveys following recommended protocols and the lack of survey reports, CDFW is limited in its ability to provide biological expertise to support the City in reducing impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant. CDFW recommends that the MND is revised to include the results of focused surveys, including survey reports, for burrowing owl within the Project site and surrounding area following the guidelines outlined in Appendix D of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation; and to incorporate appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures for burrowing owl.
The MND includes Mitigation Measure BIO-1, which indicates that a “qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys on the northern parcel of the Project site during Phase 2. 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.” CDFW finds Mitigation Measure BIO-1 to be insufficient in scope and timing to reduce impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant. For example, Mitigation Measure BIO-1 lacks details on appropriate survey methods for burrowing owl and methods of avoiding impacts to burrowing owl if they are observed within the Project site and/or surrounding areas.
The MND also indicates that burrowing owl exclusion may be implemented by the Project. Burrowing owl relocation is considered a potentially significant impact under CEQA and should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated. Burrowing owl relocation (i.e., eviction/passive and active relocation) can result in take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs, which is not authorized under the CVMSHCP. Consultation with CDFW is warranted to determine if an Incidental Take Permit is necessary to avoid a violation of Fish and Game code section

2080. CDFW recommends that the City revise Mitigation Measure BIO-1 with the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough:
Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Burrowing Owl Focused and Pre-Construction Surveys Suitable burrowing owl habitat has been confirmed on the site; therefore, focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a CVMSHCP-approved Acceptable Biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities for all phases of Project construction. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs.
The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities.
Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a CVMSHCP-approved Acceptable Biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. A qualified biologist shall conduct two (2) take avoidance pre-construction burrowing owl surveys on the northern parcel of the Project site during Phase 2. 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 1491

applicable) to discourage owls from using burrows that are believed to be in jeopardy of being impacted by implementation of the project.
3) Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Local Development Mitigation Fee
The Project is located within the CVMSHCP Plan Boundary and outside of a Conservation Area and contains habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities. Page 120 of the MND states that the “site is subject to payment of the Development Mitigation Fee to mitigate potential impacts to covered species under the CVMSHCP.” Per CVMSHCP Section 5.2.1.1 and IA Sections 12.2.1 and 13.2, the City is obligated to impose a local development mitigation fee for new development within the Plan Area that impacts vacant land containing Habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities, including small vacant lots within urban areas that contain natural open space, and to transmit collected fees to CVCC at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats. To document the City’s obligation to impose and transmit a Local Development Mitigation Fee for this Project, CDFW recommends the City add the following mitigation measure to a revised MND:
Mitigation Measure BIO-[B]: CVMSHCP Compliance
Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. 4) Artificial Nighttime Lighting
The Project site is located adjacent to vacant areas within the larger Armtec facility that provide suitable burrowing, nesting, roosting, foraging, and refugia habitat for birds, migratory birds that fly at night, and other nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife. The Project proposes “light and glare from interior and exterior building lighting, safety and security lighting” (page 24 of the MND). The Project’s proposed artificial nighttime lighting has the potential to significantly and adversely affect biological resources using these vacant areas within the larger Armtec facility. Artificial lighting alters ecological processes including, but not limited to, the temporal niches of species; the repair and recovery of physiological function; the measurement of time through interference with the detection of circadian and lunar and seasonal cycles; the detection of resources and natural 1492

prohibiting reflective surfaces and spillage of light onto adjacent properties.” CDFW considers these plans to minimize the impacts of artificial nighttime lighting to be insufficient in slope to reduce the impacts of lighting to level less than significant. To support the City in avoiding or reducing impacts of artificial nighttime lighting on biological resources to less than significant, CDFW recommends the City add the following mitigation measure to a revised MND:
Mitigation Measure BIO-[C]: Artificial Nighttime Lighting Throughout construction and the lifetime operations of the Project, the City and Project proponent shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/).
The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting with a correlated color temperature of 3,000 Kelvins or less, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler. 5) Landscaping
The MND indicates that the Project’s landscaping will include “median and landscaping improvements” associated with the widening of Tyler Street (page 5), and “97,000 SF of landscaping, on- and off-site” (page 31). No additional details are provided on landscaping plans in the MND. CDFW recommends that the MND include recommendations regarding landscaping from Section 4.0 of the CVMSHCP “Table 4-

112: Coachella Valley Native Plants Recommended for Landscaping” (pp. 4-180 to 4- 182; https://cvmshcp.org/plan-documents/). CDFW also recommends incorporation of water-wise concepts in any Project landscape design plans. In particular, CDFW recommends xeriscaping with locally native California species and installing waterefficient and targeted irrigation systems (such as drip irrigation). Native plants support butterflies, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, bees, and other pollinators that evolved with those plants. More information on native plants suitable for the Project location and nearby nurseries is available at Calscape: https://calscape.org/. Local water agencies/cities and resource conservation cities in your area may be able to provide information on plant nurseries that carry locally native species, and some facilities display drought-tolerant locally native species demonstration gardens.
Information on drought-tolerant landscaping and water-efficient irrigation systems is available on California’s Save our Water website: https://saveourwater.com/.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e).) Accordingly, please report any special-status species and natural communities detected during Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB field survey form can be filled out and submitted online at the following link: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Submitting-Data. The types of information reported to CNDDB can be found at the following link:
https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Plants-and-Animals.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT FILING FEES
The Project, as proposed, would have an impact on fish and/or wildlife, and assessment of environmental document filing fees is necessary. Fees are payable upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the Lead Agency and serve to help defray the cost of environmental review by CDFW. Payment of the environmental document filing fee is required in order for the underlying Project approval to be operative, vested, and final. (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, § 753.5; Fish & G. Code, § 711.4; Pub. Resources Code, § 21089.)
CONCLUSION
CDFW appreciates the opportunity to comment on the MND to assist the City in identifying and mitigating Project impacts to biological resources. CDFW concludes that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW recommends that revised and additional mitigation measures and analysis as described in this letter be added to a revised MND.

Dear Mr. Moreno:
On April 23, 2025, the Imperial migation District received from the City of Coachella Development Services Department, the Notice oflntent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Armtec Expansion Master Plan; Environmental Assessment 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 389, Architectural Review 25-02. The project proposes 37,800 sq. ft. in new storage facilities, 3,000 sq. ft. in new research and development/small production facilities, 15,000 sq. ft. in new production facilities, a *73,200 sq. ft. truck staging area, and three retention basins. The project also includes off-site improvements adjacent to the site, including the widening and improvements of Tyler Street. The proposed project is Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the three-phased Armtec Expansion Master Plan. Phase I oT the Master Plan, which is not part or the project, was the construction of a i33,900 sq. ft. ground-mounted solar grid and seven solar parking canopies on the northern parcel of the existing 52.65-acre Armtec Defense Technologies (Armtec) site located at 85901 Avenue 53 in Coachella, CA (APNs 778-420-013, 778-390-008). 11Dhas reviewed the project information has the following comments:
1. Based on the preliminary information provided to the 11D, the district can accommodate the proposed project by the addition of new backbone line extensions, upgrades and reconfigurations to create ties with adjacent circuits in the area and extend electrical service to the proposed development. Based on current 2025 11Drates, a high-level cost estimate of these improvements amounts to $355,000 (subject to change without notice, including for adjustments in costs of materials, supply or labor). It is important to note, new backbone lines extensions, upgrades or reconfigurations to create ties with adjacent circuits in the area with existing IID facilities will be required, all or which are at the expense of the Developer. The conditions of service could change as a result of the additional studies.
2. It is important to note that a feasibility study will be developed once a customer project application and approved plans and loading calculations are received. This detailed information will allow 11Dto perform an accurate assessment and provide a full report of any potential impacts and mitigation measures as well as costs. The conditions of service could change as a result of the additional studies. The cost of any technical assessment shall be borne by the applicant.
