LRA 2025 FHSZ Map Changes
According to Government Code Section 51179 (b)(3):
•Local agencies shall not decrease the FHSZ level recommended by OSFM. •Local agencies may add to or increase the recommended FHSZ level, but Riverside County Fire Department is not proposing any additions or increases during this adoption process.
2025 LRA FHSZ Adoption
Per state law, Riverside County Fire Department and the local jurisdictions must make the maps available for public viewing within 30 days of receipt. Additionally, county/city must adopt the OSFM-recommended LRA FHSZ maps, by ordinance, within 120 days of their release.
FHSZ Classification
Properties are designated as Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on:
•Terrain and topography
•Vegetation and fuel conditions
•Fire history and frequency
•Climate and weather patterns
•Ember Cast modeling
Fire Hazard vs. Fire Risk
FHSZ maps identify the hazard potential, not the immediate risk. They do not factor in mitigation efforts such as defensible space, fire-resistant construction, or local firefighting capabilities.
Impact on Property Owners
Homeowners in Very High FHSZ must:
•Maintain 100 feet of defensible space around
structures.
•Comply with home hardening requirements to
reduce ignition risks.
•Ensure new construction and renovations adhere
to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building codes.
•Disclose FHSZ designation when selling property.
Homeowners in High FHSZ must:
•Comply with home hardening requirements to
reduce ignition risks.
•Ensure new construction and renovations adhere
to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building codes.
•Disclose FHSZ designation when selling
The WUI, or Wildland-Urban Interface, is the area where human development and wildland vegetation meet or intermingle, increasing the risk of wildfires and their impact on communities and homes.Houses in the WUI are located close to wildland vegetation that can fuel fires, increasing the risk to these homes when wildfires occur.
What does the WUI Code do?
•Establishes regulations to safeguard life and property from the intrusion of wildland fire and to prevent structure fires from spreading to wildland fuels. •Regulates defensible space and provides ignition-resistant construction requirements to protect against fire exposure and resist ignition by burning ember cast. •Provides standards for emergency access, water supply and fire protection. •Provides requirements for automatic fire suppression and safe storage practices.
Steps to Reduce Wildfire Susceptibility
Defensible Space
•Maintain a 30 “Lean, Clean, and Green” zone.
•Remove and reduce all dead and dry foliage within 30’ of your home. •Keep roofs and gutters clear of debris
•Trim branches encroaching on your home
•Consider native plants or xeriscape
•100’ zone
•Thin and space vegetation
•Create fuel breaks
•Incorporate hardscape
•*Zone zero*
Home Hardening
•Create defensible space by clearing and reducing vegetation •Maintaining vegetation so it does not become dry or dead. •Opt for fire resistant construction materials such as tile roofs, noncombustible siding and gutters, and noncombustible decking. •Seal entry points under eaves by boxing
•Install proper vent mesh to prevent embers from entering attics •Cover chimney and stovepipe openings with the proper mesh to prevent embers Contact MySafeRiverside.org, for information on how to form FireWise communities.
Question: What is “LRA” ?
Answer: Local Responsibility Areas are areas where the local government is responsible for wildfire protection.
Question: When will the maps go into effect?
Answer: The maps must be adopted, by ordinance, within 120 days of their release.
Question: Will existing homes/buildings be subject to upgrades or mitigations if their Hazard Severity Zone is now more restrictive?
Answer: Some remodels, additions or improvements may be subject to upgraded construction. State law will require all homes in Very High to create defensible space and manage vegetation. And if you're selling a home you will need to disclose whether it is in a fire hazard zone.
Question: What zone is enforced where a property falls into two or more zones? Answer: We have taken the position that the requirements of most restrictive zone will apply based on dialogue with the state and the fact that the real estate disclosures will always reference the highest zone.
Question: Can Cities and Counties decide not to adopt the new LRA maps? Answer: Cities and Counties are required to adopt the maps, as mandated by AB211. Cities and Counties may make maps more restrictive, but not less restrictive, per GC51179.
Question: Why does a portion of the lake have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classification? Answer: In the 2023 FHSZ model they have added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for potential threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as variation in reservoir height that occurs with drought. (i.e., the levy)
Legislation
Senate Bill 63 (2021) – Expanded fire hazard oversight to include Moderate and High zones in addition to Very High FHSZ classifications.
Assembly Bill 337 (1992) – Originally mandated the identification of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones following destructive wildfires.
Assembly Bill 211 (2022) – Requires local agencies to adopt Moderate, High, and Very High FHSZ designations within 120 days of OSFM recommendations. Local governments cannot downgrade state-designated hazard levels but may increase them if justified.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
April 3, 2025
To: City Council
From: Community Development Department
Prepared by: Jon Berg, Community Development Director
Subject: General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Summary
Report for 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council RECEIVES and FILES the General Plan Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Addendum for 2024; and FINDS the State’s annual housing progress reporting requirement does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3; and
DIRECTS Staff to submit the Annual Progress Report and Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Addendum to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
BACKGROUND:
Per California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2)(B), each City Planning agency is required to prepare a Housing Element Annual Progress Report (“APR”) regarding the status of the Housing Element of their General Plan. The APR identifies progress made on implementation of policies in the Housing Element, using the forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”).
The Housing Element is used to identify projected housing needs of the community and establish policies to support further development of all housing types, including affordable housing within the City. All California municipalities are required to adopt a Housing Element as part of their General Plan, which is subject to detailed statutory requirements and mandatory review and certification by HCD.
Attachment 1 provides the Housing Element APR for calendar year 2024 and addresses the City’s progress in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period (6th Housing Cycle) identified in the Adopted
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
Housing Element of the City’s General Plan. It also describes the actions taken towards completion of the programs, and status of compliance with the timeframes outlined in the Housing Element.
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code § 34176.1, Attachment 2 provides an annual summary of use and expenditures of the City’s Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“LMIHAF”) and disposition of Housing Authority lands.
DISCUSSION:
RHNA Progress
HCD is responsible for determining the regional housing need for each region’s council of governments (“COG”). The COG then distributes these needs among its jurisdictions through a RHNA plan. RHNA ensures that each city and county receive its “fair share” of the projected housing development deeds across different income groups . Managed by the Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”), the City’s regional COG, the RHNA allocated Indian Wells 382 housing units across various income levels for the 6th Housing Cycle, covering the projected housing needs from October 15, 2021, to October 15, 2029.
The following table, identified in the City’s Certified Housing Element, represents the RHNA allocation broken down by unit income levels:
Income Level Unit No. Distribution
Extremely Low 58 15.2%
Very Low 59 15.4%
Low 81 21.2%
Moderate 91 23.8%
Above Moderate 93 24.3%
Total 382 100.0%
As provided in the APR (Attachment 1), the individual tables provide the City’s data regarding application, permitting and construction activities that support the goals of the 6th Housing Cycle, and specifically for the 2024 reporting period as follows:
The summary page of the APR summarizes the City’s overall performance for the 2024 APR reporting year. The City reported a total of 25 Applications, 18 Building Permits, and 58 certificates of occupancy issued for SFD and ADU units during the 2024 reporting year. None of these units were permitted or constructed under SB 35 streamlining provisions.
Table A provides a summary of data on housing units and developments for which an application was deemed complete between January 1st and December 31st of
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
the reporting year. In table A, an “application” is a formal submittal of a housing development or permit for approval. This includes, but is not limited to, single - family attached units; single-family detached units; two-to four-unit structures; five or more-unit structures; accessory dwelling units; and mobile home/manufactured homes. The City had no new housing developments applied for during the year but did receive 25 Applications for new residential buildings permits.
Table A2 provides a summary of all entitlements, building permits, and certificates of occupancy for residential development, by income category, that were issued in the reporting year. The City issued 18 building permits and 58 certificates of occupancies for single family detached (SFD) housing during the reporting year.
The City also issued 7 building permits and 5 certificates of occupancy for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). All SFD units were above moderate-income level.
ADUs were listed as affordable units as determined by SCAG’s ADU affordability analysis conducted to provide local governments with assumptions on ADU affordability.
Table B provides a summary of the City’s RHNA progress as units are constructed during the reporting year. The City reported 189 above moderate income SFD housing units constructed; 1 extremely low income ADU; 3 very low income ADU; 6 low income ADU units; and 5 moderate income ADU units permitted through the 6th Housing Cycle. No other income level units have been constructed during this period. Once approved by HCD, the City’s RHNA numbers for the 6th Housing Cycle will decrease accordingly.
Table C provides a summary of sites identified or rezoned to accommodate any RHNA shortfall. The City has identified 8 to 10 acres of a 34-acre site (APN: 633- 360-002) at the northeast corner of Miles Avenue and Warner Trail to be rezoned as a Housing Opportunity Site Overlay as part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. To accommodate the City’s RHNA shortfall of 110 units during the 6th Housing Cycle, the City has included Program 3 in its Housing Element. The program committed the City to rezoning a portion of the site by October 2024 to provide the opportunity for 100% affordable projects and allow up to 128 affordable housing units, consisting of 64 very low-income units, 46 low income units, 17 moderate income units, and 1 above-moderate income unit. This commitment was completed through the adoption of Ordinance 753, effectively rezoning the 34-acre site to the Public Benefit Zoning district.
Table D of the APR reports the City’s annual progress in the implementation of various programs and statutory requirements of the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
Table E provides a summary of commercial developments given development bonuses as allowed under Government Code Section 65915.7. The City did not
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
process any applications or entitlements for any commercial projects with density bonuses.
Table F summarizes units rehabilitated, preserved, or acquired, pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.1(c). The City did not report any substantially rehabilitated, preserved, or acquired units during the reporting period.
Table F2 summarizes above moderate-income units converted to moderate income units pursuant to Government Code Section 65400.2. The City did not report any converted units during the reporting period.
Table G provides a summary of locally owned land included in the Housing Element sites inventory that have been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of during the reporting year. The city did not report on the sale of any lands listed in the sites inventory of the Housing Element.
Table H provides an inventory of locally owned or controlled lands declared surplus lands defined in subdivision (b) of Section 54221, and all lands in excess of foreseeable needs, if any, identified pursuant to Section 50569, located in all urbanized areas and urban clusters of the city or any of its departments, agencies, or authorities it owns or controls. The City did not dispose of any surplus land during the reporting year through the Surplus Lands Act in compliance with AB 1255.
Table I provides a list of lot splits applied pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7 or units constructed pursuant to Section 65852.21. (SB 9). Chapter 162, Statutes of 2021 (SB 9) Requires a city or county to ministerially approve either or both of the following, as specified:
A housing development of no more than two units (duplex) in a single -family zone.
The subdivision of a parcel zoned for residential use, into two approximately equal parcels (lot split), as specified.
The City did not record or process either a lot split or duplex per SB 9 during the reporting year.
Table J provides a summary of student housing development with a density bonus approved pursuant to Government Code section 65915(b)(1)(F), where such housing is considered group quarters and does not count as progress toward the RHNA. The City did not approve of any student housing developments during the reporting year.
Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Status Review. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50515.04, recipients of LEAP grants from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) are required to report on the progress and use of those funds. The City was awarded a $65,000 LEAP Grant
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
from HCD to help subsidize the production of the City’s Housing Element Update for the 6th Housing Cycle.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This action has been reviewed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City, acting as Lead Agency, determined that the State’s annual housing progress reporting requirement does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
April 3, 2025
To: City Council
From: Public Works Department
Prepared by: Dina Purvis, Assistant Public Works Director Subject: Approval of the Whitewater River Low Flow Flood Channel Emergency Reconstruction Project and Finding the Project Exempt from CEQA
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council APPROVES the progression of the Whitewater Low Flow Flood Channel Reconstruction project to the bidding phase, for the emergency reconstruction work detailed in the staff report; and
FINDS the project qualifies as an emergency project exemption pursuant to Section 15269(b)(c) of the CEQA guidelines.
BACKGROUND:
The Whitewater River Channel is a vital flood control feature that traverses the City of Indian Wells, including a key component – the concrete "low flow" channel running down the center of the main channel. This low flow channel is critical for maintaining water movement and preventing debris buildup during lower flow events. The concrete channel extends for approximately 5,800 feet, with a trapezoidal cross-section (3 feet deep and 4 feet wide at the bottom).
The low flow channel was severely damaged during two significant weather events: the February 2019 rainstorm and Tropical Storm Hilary in August 2023. These events caused substantial damage to the channel structure, threatening its integrity and the broader stormwater management system. To address this, the City has applied for, and been granted, grant funding to reconstruct and upgrade the stormwater system, focusing on the segment of the low flow channel from Fred Waring Drive to the easterly edge of the Indian Wells Golf Resort.
The proposed reconstruction involves the demolition, removal, and rebuilding of the channel, including regrading and compacting the base and pouring new concrete for the sides and bottom. The replacement channel will have a trapezoidal cross -section with a depth of approximately 3 feet and a bottom width of 10 feet.
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
The reconstruction will directly benefit areas adjacent to the channel and downstream locations, improving the capacity and resilience of the stormwater system during future storm events. The project will also facilitate faster and more efficient debris removal after a storm event, as equipment will have easier access to the low-flow channel. The failure of the low flow channel poses a significant risk to public health, safety, and welfare, especially during high-flow events. Ensuring the structural integrity of the channel is paramount to maintaining effective flood control for the City.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the progression of the project to the bidding phase for the emergency repairs to the Whitewater River Low Flow Flood Channel as recommended by Staff.
2. Deny the Project.
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project is included in the current Capital Improvement Plan. The City has been approved for $600,000 in grant funding from the Department of Water Resources to offset costs.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This Project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City acting as Lead Agency, has determined the Whitewater River Low Flow Channel Repair Project qualifies as an emergency project exemption pursuant to Section 15269(b)(c) of the CEQA guidelines:
b) Emergency repairs to publicly or privately owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety or welfare. Emergency repairs include those that require a reasonable amount of planning to address an anticipated emergency.
c) Specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency. This does not include long-term projects undertaken for the purpose of preventing or mitigating a situation that has a low probability of occurrence in the short-term, but this exclusion does not apply (i) if the anticipated period of time to conduct an environmental review of such a long-term project would create a risk to public health, safety or welfare, or (ii) if activities (such as fire or catastrophic risk mitigation or modifications to improve facility integrity) are proposed for existing facilities in response to an emergency at a similar existing facility.
The Project involves emergency repairs to a publicly owned facility, necessary to improve the channel’s capacity and resilience of the stormwater system from adversely affecting
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
adjacent and downstream land uses during future storm events. These emergency repairs are necessary to prevent failure of the stormwater facility, and to prevent any potential near term risks to public health, safety, and welfare.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
April 3, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, City Finance Director
Subject: Annual Levy and Engineer’s Report for the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2000-1
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council OPENS the Public Hearing, takes any public testimony, CLOSES the Public Hearing; and
ADOPTS Resolution approving the annual levy and ordering the levy and collection of assessments of the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2000-1 for Fiscal Year 2025- 26; and
ORDERS the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2000 -1 levy to be placed on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Riverside County tax roll; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City Council conducts a public hearing to review and take action on the costs associated with operating and maintaining the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2001-01. This hearing ensures transparency, fiscal accountability, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Engineer’s Report, attached to this staff report, provides a detailed budget outlining the total projected expenditures, anticipated revenues, and the scope of maintenance services required to sustain the District’s street lighting infrastructure at optimal levels.
The City is responsible for levying the annual lighting and maintenance assessment in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and the procedural requirements established under Proposition 218. These assessments ensure that property owners within the District contribute proportionally to the costs of maintaining street lighting services that enhance public safety, visibility, and overall neighborhood aesthetics.
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
The Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2001-01 encompasses a defined geographic area, extending from the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Warner Trail, continuing through Blackfoot Drive, Dakota Trail, Arapahoe Vista, and Elkhorn Trail. The District was originally part of Riverside County’s County Service Area 121 (CSA 121), which was established to provide street lighting services to a portion of the Village area.
Following the City’s annexation of this area, CSA 121 was detached, and the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2001-01 was formally created to ensure continued management and funding for street lighting services within the annexed region. The City remains responsible for administering and collecting the annual assessments necessary to sustain these operations, ensuring compliance with state-mandated assessment district requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund, as the revenues generated from the annual levy are designated exclusively for the operation and maintenance of the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2001-01. These funds are segregated from the City's discretionary revenues and are recorded in a dedicated Special Revenue Fund to ensure compliance with governmental accounting standards and assessment district regulations.
The annual levy for the District is $47.74 per assessed parcel, an amount that remains unchanged from the prior fiscal year. The City anticipates collecting a total of $2,339 in revenue from forty-nine assessed parcels within the District. These funds are restricted for use solely within the District and are allocated to cov er essential expenses, including street lighting maintenance, electricity costs, and operational expenditures necessary to ensure the continued functionality and reliability of the District’s lighting infrastructure.
By maintaining a self-sustaining funding structure, the District is able to operate without placing any financial burden on the City’s General Fund while preserving public safety and visibility within the assessed area.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the annual levy for the Indian Wells Street Lighting District No. 2000 -01 for Fiscal Year 2025-26: Approving the annual levy ensures that the District continues to receive dedicated funding for the maintenance and operation of its street lighting infrastructure. This funding covers essential services such as electricity costs, routine maintenance, and necessary repairs, ensuring that streetlights remain functional and provide adequate illumination for public safety, vehicular traffic, and pedestrian accessibility. The levy remains unchanged from the prior fiscal year, meaning there is no increased financial burden on property owners within the District. Approval of the levy also ensures compliance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and Proposition 218, maintaining the City's
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
obligation to properly administer the assessment and sustain District operations without impacting on the City’s General Fund.
2. Decide against approving the annual levy: If the annual levy is not approved, the District will be unable to generate the necessary revenue to fund ongoing street lighting operations. This could result in the City being unable to cover essential expenses, such as electricity costs and maintenance services, potentially leading to service reductions or outages. Diminished lighting could compromise public safety, increasing the risk of traffic accidents, crime, and reduced visibility for pedestrians. Additionally, without an approved levy, the City may need to explore alternative funding sources or reallocate limited resources, which could place an unforeseen financial strain on other municipal operations. Failure to levy the assessment may also create non-compliance with legal and regulatory obligations under state law, potentially exposing the City to administrative challenges or legal risks.
3. Provide alternative instructions for staff: The City Council may choose to direct staff to explore alternative funding mechanisms, reassess the assessment structure, or propose modifications to the District’s operational framework.
Alternative instructions could include conducting a financial review to evaluate long-term sustainability, exploring cost-saving measures, or revising the assessment methodology to ensure equitable distribution of costs among property owners. Additionally, staff could be directed to engage with property owners within the District to gather input on service levels, potential adjustments to the levy, or alternative approaches to funding street lighting maintenance. Any alternative approach should aim to maintain service continuity, uphold financial responsibility, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while addressing community needs.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, City Finance Director
Subject: Final Annual Levy Report for Landscape and Lighting District No. 91-1 for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 and Ordering the Levy and Collection of Assessments
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council OPENS the Public Hearing, takes any public testimony, CLOSES the Public Hearing; and
ADOPTS Resolution approving collection of assessments for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 for the Landscape and Lighting District No. 91-1; and
ORDERS the Landscape and Lighting District No. 91-1 levy to be placed on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Riverside County tax roll.
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City Council conducts a public hearing to review and take action on the costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the City’s landscape and lighting maintenance districts. This process ensures transparency, fiscal accountability, and compliance with applicable assessment district regulations. As part of this annual review, the Engineer’s Report, attached to this staff report, provides a comprehensive budget detailing anticipated revenues, expenditures, and planned maintenance activities for the landscape and lighting maintenance districts.
The City administers the levies for the citywide Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 91-1 (LLMD), which was established to provide funding for the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of public landscaping and lighting infrastructure. The LLMD encompasses seventeen active districts along the Highway 111 corridor. Of these, the City directly manages operations in twelve districts, ensuring that public spaces are maintained to established standards, while the remaining five districts are maintained by their respective homeowners’ associations. These assessm ents fund essential services,
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
including irrigation system upkeep, tree and shrub maintenance, streetlight operations, and other improvements that enhance public safety and community aesthetics.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact on the City, as the revenues generated from the annual levy are designated specifically for the operation of the District and do not affect the City's General Fund. The preliminary levy amounts to operate the LLMD for Fiscal Year 2025-26 per the Engineer’s Report are as follows:
The total projected cost to operate the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts (LLMD) for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is $1,970,460. This budget encompasses all maintenance, repair, and operational expenses necessary to uphold the established service levels for landscaping, irrigation, lighting, and related infrastructure within the districts. These costs include labor, materials, utility expenses, and contractual services required to maintain public spaces in accordance with City standards and regulatory requirements.
To support the operation of these districts, the City allocates $121,795 to eight designated landscape districts that provide a direct public benefit, ensuring that key public areas receive adequate maintenance and enhancements that contribute to the overall aesthetic and environmental quality of the City.
District reserves will contribute $84,285 toward the total expenditures, drawing from previously collected funds set aside for maintenance and contingency purposes. The remaining $1,764,379 will be funded through assessments levied on property owners within the respective districts. These assessments are calculated based on the proportional benefit Annual

received by each property and are collected in accordance with the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the annual levy for Landscape and Lighting District No. 91-1 for Fiscal Year 2025-26. By approving the annual levy, the City ensures that sufficient funding is available to maintain and operate the District's landscaping, lighting, and other public improvements. This action supports the continued upkeep of public spaces, enhances safety through adequate lighting, and preserves property values within the assessed area. Approval also ensures compliance with the City’s established financial and operational obligations as outlined in the engineer’s report.
2. Decide against approving the annual levy. If the annual levy is not approved, the District will not generate the necessary revenue to fund ongoing maintenance and operations. This could result in reduced landscaping services, diminished lighting infrastructure, and overall deterioration of public improvements within the District.
In the absence of alternative funding sources, the financial shortfall may lead to service reductions, negatively impacting residents and property owners who benefit from these services. Additionally, failure to levy the assessment may place the City in non-compliance with prior commitments regarding the administration of the District.
3. Provide alternative instructions for staff. The City Council may choose to direct staff to explore alternative funding mechanisms, revise the assessment structure, or re-evaluate the scope of services provided within the District. Alternative instructions could include conducting a financial analysis to assess the long-term sustainability of the District, identifying cost-saving measures, or considering adjustments to the levy to better align with community needs and expectations.
Any alternative approach should ensure that the District remains financially viable while continuing to meet the intended service levels.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a dir ect or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

The structures consist of two drywells at the northeast corner of Desert Horizons Drive and Vista Del Ray Drive.
These drywells remove nuisance water and stormwater from the Province's development into neighboring developments. The City performs monthly inspections and schedules semi-annual "cleanouts" of the drywells to ensure effective operation.
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact on the City, as the revenues generated from the annual levy are designated specifically for the operation of the District and do not affect the City's General Fund. The levy is assessed at a fixed rate of $120.68 per parcel, with the City projecting total revenue of $16,050 from 133 assessed parcels located within the gated area of the Province. In accordance with sound financial management practices, all revenues collected for the District are recorded in a dedicated Special Revenue Fund. These funds are restricted and utilized exclusively for the administration and operation of the District, as detailed in the attached engineer’s report.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the annual levy for Drainage Maintenance Benefit Assessment District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2025-26: Approving the annual levy ensures that adequate funding is available for the ongoing maintenance, repair, and operational needs of the District’s drainage infrastructure. These funds support critical activities such as clearing debris from drainage channels, maintaining stormwater detention basins, and ensuring proper water flow to prevent flooding and erosion. Approval of the levy allows the City to fulfill its obligation to property owners within the District by preserving infrastructure integrity and mitigating potential environmental and public safety risks. Additionally, continued funding through the levy helps the City maintain compliance with regional and state stormwater regulations, avoiding potential legal or financial penalties.
2. Decide against approving the annual levy: If the levy is not approved, the District will not receive the necessary funding for its drainage maintenance operations. As a result, the City may be unable to perform essential maintenance, leading to increased risks of localized flooding, blockages in drainage systems, and potential property damage within the District. Over time, neglected infrastructure may deteriorate, resulting in higher long-term repair costs. Without an alternative funding source, the burden of drainage system failures could shift to property owners or require the City to divert resources from other essential services.
3. Provide alternative instructions for staff: The City Council may choose to direct staff to explore alternative funding mechanisms, such as adjusting the assessment formula, identifying supplemental revenue sources, or restructuring the District’s maintenance priorities. Alternative instructions could also include conducting an updated engineering study to reassess the long-term financial sustainability of the District or evaluating cost-sharing opportunities with regional agencies. If modifications to the levy structure are desired, staff may need to initiate a public outreach process to ensure that affected property owners are informed and engaged in the decision-making process. Any alternative approach should seek to
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
balance financial sustainability with the continued maintenance and effectiveness of the drainage system.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, becau se it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
April 3, 2025
To: City Council
From: Public Works Department
Prepared by: Ken Seumalo, P.E., Public Works Director
Subject: City Monument at Indian Wells Lane
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council SELECTS an option for the replacement of City monument sign located on Indian Wells Lane at Highway 111; and
Council APPROVES a preliminary budget to fund the project, commensurate with the option selected, if appropriate; and
FINDS the project to be categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as not a project pursuant to Section 15378.
DISCUSSION:
The intersection of Indian Wells Lane and Highway 111 is the gateway to the City’s resort campus. The monument sign currently located at Indian Wells Lane on the north side of Highway 111 is a temporary fixture that was installed to replace the original monument that was damaged in an automobile accident. This sign provides advertising for the Indian Wells Golf Resort (IWGR) and Kestrel. Staff constructed the temporary monument as a placeholder while an evaluation was conducted to determine how best to replace the sign.
In 2024, the City Council directed staff to seek bids for a newly designed monument sign (Attachments No. 1). Bids for the project came in more than expected. Bids for the project were close to $200,000. The budget for the project is $100,000, which includes an insurance settlement of $90,000.
Indian Wells Fountains
It is also important to note that the Indian Wells Campus fountains along the north side of Highway 111 and Indian Wells Lane are in need of rehabilitation and will be a subject of the City’s budget discussions later this year. The fountains are part of a Lighting, Landscape, and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD) that consists of the City, Grand
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
Hyatt, and Renaissance Esmerelda. Initial discussions with Renaissance beg an several months ago on the need to repair or replace the fountains. Costs for the repair or replacement would be funded by the LLMD. However, LLMD does not currently have the fund balance to fund a significant rehabilitation or capital replacement of the fountains.
A separate vote of the LLMD partners would be required to generate the funds needed to complete rehabilitation or replacement.
At the January 30, 2025, City Council Meeting, Council instructed staff to meet with both Hyatt and Renaissance to ascertain their interest in a complete redesign of the fountains at the entrance to the Indian Wells Campus, prior to making any decision on moving forward with the replacement of the monument sign.
Staff recently met with the General Managers of both properties, who are very happy with the current fountains. They did express a willingness to investigate the redesigning of the fountains, if the City wishes to do so. They first want to understand the cost to rehabilitate the current fountains and consult their ownership to see if they wish to rehabilitate or investigate a redesign of the fountains. Staff is developing estimated costs for the fountain rehabilitation. The process of developing the estimated costs and to seek ownership input is likely to take several months to complete.
Mayor Whitman asked that a discussion on replacing the monument sign be re-agendized for discussion, rather than awaiting the outcome of the ownership meetings. This will allow the IWGR to better promote the campus, especially Kestrel, sooner than later.
Staff are seeking Council direction as to move forward with a replacement of the monument sign at this time or to await replacement until the fountain redesign matter has been addressed. Staff recommend the Council select from one of the options provided below.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve the public art monument presented by staff (Attachment No. 2) and appropriate a preliminary budget of $250,000 in Public Art Funds.
2. Approve the redesigned monument (Attachment No. 1) and appropriate $200,000 in General Funds for the project.
3. Instruct staff to conduct a Request for Proposals to develop alternative sign designs from the art community that complement the existing fountains.
4. Construct a permanent monument sign that replicates the current temporary sign and appropriate $100,000 in General Funds for the project.
5. Await replacement until the fountain redesign matter has been addressed; or
6. Provide alternative directions.
Council Agenda- April 3, 2025
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is dependent on the direction of the City Council. There is sufficient funding in the General Fund and Art in Public Places Fund to cover these expenses.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
“This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The location of this monument is currently developed and the project, as a re-build, qualifies as being Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378.
