• Design and construct new facilities or new parts of facilities to meet accessibility requirements (28 CFR 35.151(a)).
• Ensure that alterationsto facilities meet accessibility requirementsto the maximum extent feasible (28 CFR 35.151(b)).
• Make reasonable modifications to permit the use of mobility devices, including other power-driven mobility devices, unless they cannot be operated in accordance with the City's adopted safety requirements for pedestrian facilities (28 CFR 35.137(b)(1)).

Accessibility Practices in the Right-of-Way:
• Ensure that the public can obtain information regarding the existence and location of accessible transportation facilities, entrances, and elements within right-of-way facilities (28 CFR 35.163).
• Provide and maintain, in working order, features of right-of-way elements required to be accessible and usable for people with disabilities (28 CFR 35.133).

Conclusion
The ADA coordinator or designee will follow up with department managers to review the SelfEvaluation Questionnaire findings as well as the Accessible Policies and Procedures Memo’s recommendations. In those situations where a policy, program, or procedure creates a barrier to accessibility that is unique to a department or a specific program, the ADA Coordinator or designee will coordinate with the department head or program manager to address the removal of the barrier in the most reasonable and accommodating manner in accordance with applicable law.

Many of the apparent omissions and errors in City policies discovered through the staff questionnaire can be resolved with improved communication. City staff need clear communication about accessibility requirements, processes, and resources available to them in order to effectively and consistently deliver accessible programs, activities, and services to the public. Publishing information in an easy-to-find location, and providing recurring staff training, is recommended to ensure that City staff remain up to date on accessibility policies and can reference written information or reach out for assistance when needed.

Likewise, residents of the City of Coachella need clear communication of the City’s intent to uphold Title II of the ADA, as well as access to information about the policies, facilities, program modifications, adaptive equipment, communication methods, and individualized services available to them upon request. Publishing and updating this information in an easy-to-find location helps residents with disabilities plan their participation in City programs and services with confidence and conveys the City of Coachella’s bona-fide commitment to equitable and inclusive practices.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Barrier Summary Report supports the City of Coachella in the effort to provide equitable access to opportunities for Coachella residents, and to fulfill the requirements set forth in Title II of the ADA. It summarizes the findings of a detailed survey of selected City parks and facilities conducted in Spring of 2024 and will be used to create the City of Coachella’s ADA Title II Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP).

Multiple barriers were identified at each of the sites evaluated. Larger, older, and more complex parks and facilities tend to have more barrier types identified, and higher estimated barrier mitigation costs, than smaller, newer sites or those with limited public use areas.

A little over half of the estimated barrier remediation costs are directly related to participation in program areas (including access to restrooms), while changes to approach and navigation features like parking, routes, and doors account for just under 40% of the total cost estimate.

The facilities and barriers summarized in this report will be further analyzed in order to develop a prioritization schema and schedule for the City of Coachella’s ADA Transition Plan.

INTRODUCTION
ADA Title II states that a public entity must reasonably modify its public programs, activities, and services to avoid discrimination against people with disabilities, including ongoing removal of physical barriers in facilities where such services are provided. MIG performed a detailed evaluation of selected parks and City facilities on behalf of the City of Coachella as part of developing the City’s ADA Transition Plan. The in-person assessment occurred between April and May of 2024. Evaluations were undertaken by staff equipped with measuring devices, City facility data, and evaluation checklists. Multiple types of barriers were identified at each of the sites evaluated. The site observations were recorded, and a proposed barrier removal solution and planning-level cost estimate was assigned to each barrier. These details are provided under a separate cover. This report summarizes the findings of the detailed accessibility evaluation that will be used to create the City of Coachella’s ADA Title II Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP).

Accessibility Standards
The ADA facility assessment includes detailed measurements comparing the existing conditions in the facility to the codes and standards contained in the following regulations:
• 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design • 2022 California Building Code, Chapter 11B (CBC) with July 2024 Supplement • 2015 Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines (ABA) Facilities Evaluated
The following facilities are included in the ADA Facility Barrier Report (tenants leasing the facilities at the time of the assessment are indicated in parenthesis):

FACILITY BARRIER SUMMARY
Barriers by Feature Type
MIG classified each of the accessibility barriers identified during the evaluation according to the type of feature or area affected. The following barrier types were identified at City of Coachella facilities:
• Built-in Elements (such as cabinetry, shelving, and fixed displays) • Doors & Gates
• Drinking Fountains
• Food & Dining Areas
• Game & Sports Areas
• Interior Spaces (such as light switches, outlets, and operable parts on windows) • Outdoor Constructed Features (such as benches and waste receptacles) • Parking
• Picnic Areas
• Play Equipment Areas
• Restrooms
• Routes(including walkways, stairs, ramps, and elevators) • Special Site Functions (any site-specific program area, such as a swimming pool and associated amenities like showers and locker rooms)
• Other (miscellaneous elements such as fire extinguishers and dog waste bag dispensers) Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages summarize park and facility barriers by feature type. A narrative description of each table’s contents is provided after the table.

Key Takeaways
The variety of barrier types identified at each park or facility corresponds roughly to what features are provided at that site.

The most common park barriers were at drinking fountains, outdoor constructed features, picnic areas, and play equipment areas. All park facilities include barriers at these feature types.

The least common barrier type for park facilities is parking. Parking barriers were identified at only two parks.

The most common facility barrier types are doors and gates, and restrooms: all 16 facilities include barriers at doors and gates, and 15 of 16 facilities include barriers at restrooms. The least common barrier types are food and dining, and picnic areas; each of these barrier types was identified at only two facilities.

Barriers by Category
Barrier Categories
As the City reviews individual facility barriers, they will be assigned a draft barrier category informed by a prioritization framework described in Title III of the ADA for places of public accommodation and commercial facilities: a framework referred to as the logic of access. These categories are not required by ADA Title II regulations; however, they are intended to be helpful in for further analysis and prioritization. Translating these categories into action plans must be accomplished using a programmatic approach. City staff will refine these categories over time as facilities programs are evaluated, and barriers are removed. The following is a descriptor of the categories:

Category 1: Navigation. The highest category is placed on those barrier removal items that provide accessibility at the main entrance of a facility or improve an accessible route to the portion of the facility where program activities take place (e.g., parking, walks, ramps, doors, etc.).

Page 354 ends

Item 14.

Coachella, California | ADA Barrier Summary Report
MIG Inc. October 2024 10
Category 2: Participation. A second category is placed on those barrier removal items that improve or enhance access to program use areas (e.g., transaction counters, conference rooms, public offices, outdoor recreation features, etc.). If provided, restrooms are included in this category, since usable toilet facilities are needed while taking part in a public program.

Category 3: Comfort. A third category is placed on those barrier removal items that improve access to amenities serving program areas (e.g., drinking fountains, telephones, site furnishings).

Category 4: Other elements. This category may be used for duplicate features not required to be remediated by scoping sections of the standards, for elements which qualify for exceptions, or for barriers for which programmatic solutions are preferred.

Many of the draft barrier categories will require further evaluation by staff for programmatic solutions. It is anticipated that some categories will change to Category 4 based on stakeholder comment and feedback.

Tables 3 and 4 on the following pages show the most impactful barrier categories at each site, as measured by the estimated cost to remove the barrier via a construction-based solution. The costs used in the summary tables are based on the unit bid prices for standardized bid items and are considered low planning-level costs. The cost estimates represent a starting point for evaluation of needed resources and are not a detailed construction estimate. The City will need to incorporate additional soft costs such as design, administration, coordination, as well as anticipated inflation as part of the planning and budgeting process. A narrative description of each table’s contents is provided after the table.

Key Takeaways
The park with the highest estimated barrier removal cost is also the largest: Bagdouma Park.

Likewise, the lowest estimated barrier removal cost is at Tot Park, one of Coachella’s smallest parks. For most parks, at least half of the estimated cost is for removal of Category 2 barriers affecting program areas. The next largest cost percentage istypically Category 1, which covers parking, paths, and entries. Category 3, Amenities, accounts for less than a fifth of each facilities’ cost estimate, with one exception; due to its small size, Tot Park has no costs under Category 1 and proportionally larger costs under Category 3.

The facility with the highest overall estimated cost is the Former Branch Library, which includes the main building (unoccupied at the time of the assessment) and two annexes (leased to Raices Cultura and Latino Commission at the time of the assessment). This facility is one of the oldest sites surveyed, and portions of the building are in poor condition. The least costly facilities are the City Sanitation Department and the Former Water Billing / Fire Station building. The City Sanitation Department facility consists primarily of employee-only areas, so

only the parking, entrance, and reception areas that may be accessed by the public were surveyed. The Former Water Billing / Fire Station is leased to a local restaurant that has installed dining and service features; only permanent, publicly accessible portions of the building that the City is responsible for (entrance, routes, and restroom) were surveyed.

CONCLUSION
Multiple types of accessibility barriers were identified at each of the City parks and facilities surveyed by MIG. Most public facility elements covered by the ADA or CBC have at least one component that does not comply with the current standard, thus, the variety of barrier types at each park or facility corresponds roughly to what features are provided at that site. Larger, older, and more complex parks and facilities tend to have more barrier types identified and higher estimated barrier mitigation costs than smaller, more recently constructed sites or those with limited public use areas.

For both parks and other types of City facilities, the majority of the estimated barrier remediation costs are directly related to the accessibility of program areas; that is, features that are essential to the public service or program provided at that site. The second largest category of estimated costs are for corrections to the parking, routes, entrances, and other elements that facilitate approach to and navigation through the primary program areas. Other amenities generally account for less than 1/10th of the barrier remediation costs. The facilities and barriers summarized in this report will be further analyzed in order to develop a prioritization schema and schedule for the City of Coachella’s ADA Transition Plan.

OVERSIGHT BOARD OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE COACHELLA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34179-34181): – (Meetings held as needed.) The Oversight Board was created pursuant to California State law that dissolved the Coachella Redevelopment Agency, along with all 400 redevelopment agencies in California, on February 1, 2012. That law, known as AB X1 26, required the City of Coachella, as the successor agency to the Coachella Redevelopment Agency, to create a new Oversight Board to oversee certain fiscal management of former Agency funds and assets.

Oversight Boards direct the staff of the Successor Agency, have fiduciary responsibilities to holders of enforceable obligations, approves actions of the Successor Agency and establishes the Recognized Payment Obligation Payment Schedule. It takes a majority of the Oversight Board to constitute a quorum and to vote to take action.

The California Redevelopment Dissolution Laws mandated the dissolution of the 25 existing Oversight Boards within the County of Riverside and the creation of a single Consolidated Oversight Board overseeing all 25 successor agencies within the County commencing on July 1, 2018.

STAFF REPORT
12/10/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Celina Jimenez, Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: Appoint one (1) Commissioner to the Coachella Youth Advisory Commission STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council appoint one (1) Commissioner to the Coachella Youth Advisory Commission (YAC).

BACKGROUND:

In July 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-25, which established compensation for members of the Youth Advisory Commission. Under this resolution, Commissioners receive $50.00 per scheduled meeting, provided a quorum is present. Following Council’s action, the City conducted outreach through schools, community organizations, and social media platforms to promote the opportunity to local youth.

The YAC was created to provide young residents with a voice in civic matters. Commissioners serve in an advisory role to the City Council, helping to identify the educational, recreational, and cultural needs of Coachella’s youth and ensuring coordination of community resources that improve quality of life for young people.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Commission is designed to consist of ten youth members enrolled in high school who reside in Coachella. To date, the City had received a sufficient number of applications to fill all ten seats. The Youth Advisory Commission held its first meeting on October 14, 2025 but since then, the Commission had one Commissioner resign. Appointing the full membership will allow the Commission to begin its work with balanced representation and greater capacity to address issues affecting youth. With all positions filled, the Commission will be better positioned to carry out its duties effectively and ensure broad input from across the community.

Page 381 ends

Item 17.

The following applicants submitted an application for consideration: (the council must select and appoint one)

1. Brandon Antunez Lopez (Coachella resident)

2. Valerie Aguirre (Coachella resident)

3. Emily Samano Felix
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no additional fiscal impact beyond the stipends already authorized under Resolution No. 2024-25.

Being appointed would not only allow me to be a voice for my peers but also a voice for the youth in my community. Coming from a Mexican American household where education levels where limited, and where lack of involvement in the community also played a role, I plan to break that cycle with my

3.9 GPA and by actively engaging with my community. This opportunity would be a big step toward achieving that goal. I have always taken my education and involvement in my community seriously, having worked at local election polling sites, participating in school sport teams, enrolled in advanced classes, and joining an academy focused on college preparation and Chicano/a history.

The goals of the Youth Commission are to represent young people, improve community involvement, and create more opportunities for growth. I would help achieve these goals by listening to my peers, sharing their ideas with city leaders, and working on plans that make a positive impact on Coachella’s youth.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Cástulo R. Estrada, Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. WA-2025-03; A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Coachella Water Authority Authorizing the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Application for the Chromium-6 Treatment Project & Resolution No. WA2025-04, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Coachella Water Authority Authorizing Reimbursement for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Application for the Chromium-6 Treatment Project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize Resolution No. WA-2025-03 & WA-2025-04 for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Application and Reimbursement for the Chromium-6 Treatment Project.

BACKGROUND:

In 2014, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Drinking Water (DDW) adopted California’s first Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) specific to chromium-6, setting the limit at 10 µg/L. Shortly after its adoption, a court invalidated the standard on procedural grounds, requiring the state to revert to the previous total chromium MCL of 50 µg/L.

After several years of reevaluation, the SWRCB Division of Drinking Water readopted a chromium-6 specific MCL of 10 µg/L, on April 17, 2024, this time applying the limit at entry points to the distribution system (EPDS). The regulation became effective on October 1, 2024, with compliance timelines based on water system size. Coachella Water Authority (CWA), has six wells exceeding this limit and requires treatment to achieve the MCL compliance and is currently developing a new well that will also require treatment. The Chromium-6 Treatment Project (Project) will construct a Reduction Coagulation Filtration water treatment process to remove Chromium-6 in the seven wells, improving water quality and water supply reliability to CWA’s service area.

To fund the Project, CWA is pursuing financing through SWRCB’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The application process includes four key components: the General Information Package, Technical Application Package, Environmental Package, and Financial Security Package. CWA has submitted the General Information Package and is actively working on the remaining components. As part of the DWSRF requirements, CWA prepared an Authorizing Resolution to designate authority for submitting application materials and executing

agreements, and a Reimbursement Resolution using the required template language to ensure eligibility for reimbursement from loan proceeds. The reimbursement resolution is required for publicly-owned entities applying for loans.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Item 19.
14 CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN
The project site is within the Regional Retail District land use designation. The Regional Retail District is intended to provide a wide range of shopping and entertainment in a variety of urban and suburban formats. These uses include regional shopping centers, mixed destination centers or similar uses. The uses allowed in this designation will cater to regional clientele and provide a unique amenity to all residents of the Coachella Valley and an important revenue source for the City. The primary purpose of the District is to provide for commercial opportunities, with residential uses supporting the retail environment. The land use designation in this area was established in anticipation of development of big box regional commercial development, though the feasibility of big box retail development as a primary destination for buying goods has decreased with the popularity of online purchasing.

The fundamental character of these neighborhoods is defined by high-branching deciduous trees along pedestrian-oriented streets. Sound walls and other similar barriers should be avoided.

Allowed land uses include residential land uses at a development intensity of 10-15 DU/AC.

The Encanto project proposes 192 single family homes on a 19.2-acre site that equates to a net density of 10 du/acre. Staff believes that establishing housing at this site would still accommodate regional commercial to the South and increase the viability of the commercial uses with the construction of nearby homes. The project meets the general plan density requirements and meets the design standards for network connectivity, street design, parks and open space and urban form guidelines.

Page 410 ends

Item 19.
15 CONSISTENCY WITH ZONING
The project site is currently zoned Regional Commercial Planned Unit Development (R-C-PUD), which implements the Regional Retail District land use designation of the General Plan. The project modifications are in compliance with Chapter 17.38 PUD Planned Unit Development standards. The R-C zone permits a minimum density of 10 dwelling units per acre, and the proposed project modification requests minimum lot size of 2,500 square feet with a minimum interior lot width of 44 feet and minimum lot depth of 60 feet. The proposed minimum front yard requirement is 18’ to garage and 7’ to livable area or porch. The proposed rear yard setback is an average of 10 feet but no less than 8 feet. The applicant proposes a minimum side setback of 4 feet. The applicant proposes minimum 19’ x 19’interior garage space at 361 square feet. These requests from the applicant differ from the allowed zoning development standards, which is why the Applicant is using the Planned Unit Development provisions (Section 17.38) of the Municipal Code in order to utilize flexible development standards.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of this Planned Unit Development (PUD) document is to set the use regulations, development standards, and design guidelines for the Encanto Housing Development Project, applicable to the respective underlying Residential Suburban (R-S) Zoning District. The PUD will provide the necessary development criteria to guide the developer and homebuilders in the design and construction of the residential structures, open space, and associated amenities and the City of Coachella with the review criteria for the approval of entitlements and permits.

The Encanto Housing Development is a private, residential community encompassing 192 residential lots, pedestrian walkways, and 2 open spaces on approximately 19.2 acres. The PUD serves to implement the City of Coachella’s General Plan and Zoning by specifying specific land uses, intensity of use, and development standards which are consistent with General Plan goals, objectives, and policies and achieve their protocols of the City of Coachella.

The proposed development plan has been derived from studies prepared by the applicant’s civil engineer, architect, traffic engineer, land planners, and other consultants; and has been reviewed by the City of Coachella. As a result, the plan addresses development related to issues in the form of proposed physical improvements, guidelines for future development, technical data, and implementation procedures and regulations.

Pulte will partner with the City of Coachella to meet the demand for attainable housing with new and tailored floor plans along with mindful neighborhood amenities to encourage homeownership.

Progressive Spanish, Desert Contemporary, and Desert Ranch architectural stylings will provide aesthetic diversity while aligning with the city of Coachella. The incorporated design elements create a modern interpretation that respects traditional architecture. The homes and neighborhood design encompass environmentally responsive, culturally relevant, and functional elements that benefit both the immediate and greater community.

1.2 Project Location
From a regional perspective, the project area is located in the Coachella Valley within the incorporated City Limits of Coachella as shown in Exhibit 1, Regional Location Map. Locally, the project site is bounded by vacant, undeveloped land to the west and south, an elementary school (Coral Mountain Academy) to the north, and Van Buren Street to the east, with agricultural land uses just beyond the roadway. The project site is shown in Exhibit 2, Vicinity Map. The 19.2 acre site consists of APN 779-360-001.

1.3 Project Summary
The project consists of a 192-lot residential development on an approximately 19.2 acre undeveloped site at the southwest corner of Van Buren Street and Frida Way in the City of Coachella. The development proposes 2,500 square foot minimum lot sizes and includes a common park, internal roads, on-site landscaping and retention, and common open space.

2.MODIFICATIONS TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
Development within Encanto Housing Development is required to substantially conform to the physical characteristics and design concepts set forth in this Planned Unit Development (PUD). The City has the discretion to determine if implementing actions substantially conform to the development standards in this document. If an implementing action does not substantially conform, a formal modification to this PUD may be required. The process required to modify the PUD will require a modification to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) associated with the PUD. The process to modify a CUP is outlined in Section

17.74.020 of the City of Coachella Development Code.

3.ADMINISTRATION

3.1 Planned Unit Development
Upon its approval/adoption, the Encanto Housing Development, as approved by the City of Coachella City Council, will become the primary document governing land use regulations. The Encanto Housing Development PUD has development standards and land use regulations that will replace the corresponding standards in the City of Coachella’s Municipal Code. Where the Planned Unit Development does not address a standard or subject, the applicable City code and/or ordinance shall apply. The Corresponding Conditional Use Permit for the Encanto Housing Development shall run with the property once the project is built and is transferrable to future owners of the property.

Per section 17.74.050, the Conditional Use Permit shall expire and shall become void one year following the date on which the conditional use became effective, unless prior to the expiration of one year a building permit is issued and construction is commenced and diligently pursued toward completion, or a certificate of occupancy is issued.

Per section 17.74.050, prior to the expiration of the Conditional Use Permit, the property owner may renew the CUP for three one-year time extensions only if an application stating reasons for renewal is filed prior to one year after the effective date of the conditional use approval by the planning commission.

In the event that the planning commission actsto approve a time extension for the conditional use permit, the planning commission may impose any reasonable conditions on the conditional use permit as a condition of the time extension, provided a modification to the conditional use permit is processed. In the event that such additional conditions are not acceptable to the applicant and/or owner, the planning commission shall deny the time extension request.

3.2 lnterpretation
Unless otherwise provided, should ambiguities occur concerning the content and appropriate application of the Encanto Housing Development PUD, said ambiguities shall be resolved by the Development Services Director or equivalent of the City of Coachella or their designee, in a manner most consistent with the intent, goals and policies set forth in the Encanto Housing Development PUD and the City’s General Plan as outlined in Section 17.70.080. The Director’s decision is appealable to the Design and Development Director and or Planning Commission in accordance with City of Coachella Municipal Code.

3.3 lmplementation Program
According to Government Code 65451 of the California Planning Law, the Encanto Housing Development PUD shall include a program for implementation including regulations, conditions, programs, and additional measures as necessary to carry out the plan. In response to this requirement, the Implementation Program is the PUD and Mitigated Negative Declaration.

3.4 Environmental Review and Mitigation Monitoring Program The Planned Unit Development has been subjected to Environmental Review pursuant to the provisions of CEQA for a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

The Mitigation Measures adopted for this projectshall comply during allstages and phases of the project’s construction and operation of the facility.

3.5 Adoption of the Encanto Housing Development and Approval of the Planned Unit Development
The Encanto Housing Development PUD shall be approved by Ordinance which includes a first reading, second reading, and then take effect 30 days after the second reading. The Conditional Use Permit will be processed concurrently with the PUD Overlay change of zone and shall take effect after the 30-days have expired.

4. PROJECT SETTING

4.1 Existing Site Characteristics
The subject property is currently undeveloped, consisting of semi-disturbed natural desert areas. The property is generally flat with a gentle eastern slope from approximately 59 feet below sea level at the eastern end of the property to 53 feet below sea level in the west. Scattered, low lying desert scrub vegetation islocated throughout the site. Information regarding soil type, groundwater levels, earthquake faultsin the region and other pertinent environmental conditions are evaluated in the project Initial Study.

Environmentalstudiesthat have been prepared for this plan include:
• Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas and Energy Impact Study
• Biological Resources Assessment
• Cultural Resource Investigation
• Geotechnical Engineering Report
• Noise Impact Study
• Paleontological Resource Assessment
• Preliminary Hydrology Report
• Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan
• Traffic Analysis

4.2 Surrounding Land Use
Asshown in Exhibit 4, Existing Land Uses, the Coral Mountain Academy elementary school islocated along the northern border of the project site. Access to the school is taken from Frida Way, which borders the project’s northern boundary. We have proposed to provide a sidewalk on the southern side of Frida Way, that will abut the northern parcels of Encanto Housing Development.

To the south and west, the project site is bordered by vacant, undeveloped land. Beyond the southern bordering parcel are three (3)single-family homes. To the west, the parcel is bordered by Van Buren Street and then agricultural uses beyond the street.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT

4.3 Existing General Plan and Zoning
The project site is currently zoned Neighborhood Suburban (S-N) District. The Residential Suburban District is intended to provide areas within the city where development is limited to low-density concentrations of single-family dwellings, and to stabilize and protect the residential character of such areas. It has the further purpose of the provision of community facilities needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions which require a residential environment and to minimize traffic congestion and to avoid an overload of utilities designed to service only low-density residential uses. The provisions of this zone are intended to encourage a suitable environment for family life through the regulation of densities of development, yards, fencing, heights and similar aspects of development.

The project site is designated as Regional Retail District in the City of Coachella General Plan. The Regional Retail District is intended to provide commercial opportunities, with residential uses supporting the retail environment with a residential density of 10-15 units per acre.

The project site is located within the Van Buren Corridor Subarea 3 in the City of Coachella General Plan.

This subarea is intended to transform the areas along Van Buren Street from Avenue 50 to 53 into an area of diverse mix of pedestrian oriented retail and services along the Van Buren Corridor to serve neighboring residential neighborhoods. The proposed project will provide a residential buffer between the existing school and any future commercial uses. Once this subarea has been fully built out, residents of Encanto Housing Development will be within walking distance of retail and public services.

4.4 Proposed Zoning
The entitlements for this project include Planned Unit Development Overlay (PD-Overlay) (see Exhibit 7) to the Residential Suburban (R-S) District (see Exhibit 5). The Planned Unit Development Overlay (PD-Overlay) will allow for the development of Encanto Housing Development to provide higher standards of development, operation, light, air, safety, convenience, and aesthetics, than if developed under the underlying Suburban Neighborhood (S-N) District.

5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project (Encanto) will consist of approximately 192 single-family homes and associated site improvements on a currently vacant 19.2 acre property (APN 779-360-001) located in the City of Coachella, Riverside County, California. The project site is located west of Van Buren Street and between 51st Avenue and 52nd Avenue. (See Exhibit 3, Site Plan). The development proposes 2,500 square foot minimum lot sizes and includes a common park, internal roads, on-site landscaping and retention, and common open space. The development proposes 192-lots each to have single family homes. However, future owners can have accessory dwelling units (ADU) as allowed by state and local requirements. Pulte homes is looking to partner with the Cty of Coachella to meet the demand in affordable housing in alignment with their adopted 2035 General Plan. The State of California has declared, “the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order.” In addition, the government and private sector should make an effort to provide a diversity of housing opportunities and accommodate regional housing needs through a cooperative effort, while maintaining a responsibility toward economic, environmental, fiscal factors, and community goals within the General Plan.

PURPOSE - The State of California has declared, “the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order.” In addition, the government and private sector should make an effort to:

Provide a diversity of housing opportunities and accommodate regional housing needs through a cooperative effort, while maintaining a responsibility toward economic, environmental, fiscal factors, and community goals within the General Plan.
• Incorporated the city’s desire for homes with three or more bedrooms which are suitable to house large households.
• Development of housing suitable for families with children, with family members requiring assistance, and multigenerational families.
• Encourage and where feasible incentivize developers to construct new units that include a full bathroom and bedroom on the first floor.

Pulte has developed customized floor plans and elevations specifically for this site to meet the goals above and provide attractive and affordable homes to the future residents of Coachella. The City of Coachella fits this demographic since they have many intergenerational families. Beyond customized home designs, Pulte Homes incorporated the use of innovative land use techniques and construction methods to maintain homeownership affordability while promoting basic health, safety, and aesthetic considerations.

The homes provide three or more bedrooms, suitable to house large households. We carefully considered housing suitable for families with children, with family members requiring assistance, and multigenerational families. Housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community. Plans range from 2,165 to 2,466 square feet including garages . They start at 3 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths and go up to 5 bedrooms with 3 baths. Two of the three plans were designed with bedrooms and full baths on the first floor.

To provide aesthetic diversity we have selected 3 unique and transitional elevation styles -Progressive Spanish, Desert Contemporary, and Desert Ranch with 3 separate color pallets for each series with 3 color selections for each – totaling 27 different home configurations for this community. Many design elements that were considered to create a modern interpretation that respects traditional aesthetics. Outlined below are some key design guidelines elements for each style.

The Project is in the Regional Retail District of the General Plan which allows a mix of residential and commercial land uses. This District allows high-density residential with commercial uses. The residential

7.3 Building and Façade Design Standards
Encanto will have three types of architecture as described below and referenced Exhibit 10.

Progressive Spanish
• Utilize traditional materials like tiles, decorative accents, and stucco to ensure a harmonious blend of old and new materials to create visual interest.
• Maintaining the iconic sloped S tile roofs, but experiment with modern shapes, textures, and profiles. The addition of score lines and roof eave details create visual interest • Rectangular windows utilize large glass panels to invite natural light and blur indoor-outdoor boundaries.

Our goal was to create elevations that are progressive yet respectful of Spain's rich architectural heritage, ensuring that modern designs enhance rather than overshadow traditional aesthetics.

Desert Contemporary
• Embrace modern, clean lines with simple geometric shapes, avoiding overly ornate elements. Low pitched roofs to complement the aesthetic.
• Utilize materials like flat tiles, scored stucco accents painted different than the body colors, and stucco to ensure a to create visual interest.
• Integrated local l elements and architectural styles into the design. Drawing from regional influences can create a sense of place and identity.

Our goal was to create desert contemporary structures that are not only visually striking but also environmentally responsive and culturally relevant, providing comfort and functionality in challenging climates.

Desert Ranch
• Desert Ranch architectural style incorporates elements that harmonize with the arid landscape while ensuring functionality and comfort. Here are some key design guidelines:
• Utilization of natural weather-resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures like stacked stone, stucco, cementitious board and batt siding, and corbels that blend with the surroundings.
• stucco accents painted different body colors to provide more visual diversity Our goal was to create designs that enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of desert ranch architecture while respecting the unique environment.

No more than two houses shall be of the same front façade design as any other house directly adjacent along the same block face and side of the street. Mirror images of the same configuration do not meet the intent of "distinctly different." "Distinctly different" shall mean that a singlefamily dwelling's elevation must differ from other house elevations.

7.4 Signs
Signage will be submitted to the Community Development Director or their designee for final approval and will provide the specifics to include the following:

Signage should be designed with appropriate scale and proportion and should relate visually to buildings and surroundings.
• Signs colors, materials, and lighting should be restrained and harmonious with the building and site to which it principally relates.
• The number of graphic elements on a sign should be limited to the necessary minimum and should be composed in proportion to the area of the sign face. • Each sign should be compatible with signs on adjoining premises and should not compete for attention.
• The type, location, height and size of signs shall be determined as a part of the permit and shall relate to the location and design of the PUD.

ambient air quality standard?
Mitigation Measure:

AQ-1: Paint used for architectural coatings for
the Project shall have a maximum of 24 grams
per liter of VOCs.

Responsibility:

The City of Coachella
Development Services

Timing: During construction
activities
Implementation:

Confirm that the paint

3.4 Biological Resources
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service?
Mitigation Measure:

BIO-1
Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird
surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian
biologist no more than 3 days prior to
vegetation removal or ground-disturbing
activities. 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 preconstruction 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

following standard field procedures for
collecting paleontological as outlined in the
PRMMP prepared for the Project. Typically,
fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single
paleontologist and not disrupt construction
activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as
complete skeletons or large mammal fossils)
require more extensive excavation and longer
salvage periods. In this case the paleontologist
should have the authority to temporarily
direct, divert or halt construction activity to
ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a
safe and timely manner.

2. Fossil Preparation and Curation. The
PRMMP will identify the museum that has
agreed to accept fossils that may be discovered
during Project-related excavations. Upon
completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils
collected will be prepared in a properly
equipped laboratory to a point ready for
curation. Preparation may include the removal
