INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
May 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, City Finance Director
Subject: Supplemental Appropriation for Pavilion Hardscape Improvements

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council APPROVES the installation of Pavilion Hardscape Improvements; and APPROVES a Supplemental Appropriation of $37,000 from the City's Fire Services Fund, and $42,000 allocated from the Golf Course Renovation contingency; and FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

DISCUSSION:

In the course of the ongoing renovation of the Player's Golf Course, representatives from Troon and Landscapes Unlimited, serving as on -site project management, identified advanced deterioration in the travertine pavers surrounding the Pavilion Event Center.

These pavers have undergone extensive weathering, resulting in uneven and unstable walking surfaces. The current condition presents a risk of trip hazards for guests and staff, raising legitimate public safety concerns.

The Pavilion Event Center serves as a high -use municipal facility and routinely hosts a wide array of public and private events. Given its prominence within the City's event infrastructure, the condition of its adjacent hardscape is critical to maintaining both functionality and public confidence in the venue.

In response to the identified deficiencies, on -site management has recommended the removal of the deteriorated travertine pavers and the installation of a stamped concrete surface as a durable, aesthetically compatible replacement. This alternative is expected to provide enhanced structural integrity, reduced maintenance obligations, and a consistent visual alignment with the Pavilion's architectural character.

The Pavilion is presently closed in conjunction with the Player's Golf Course renovation, offering an opportune window to undertake these improvements without disrupting

Page 14 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
scheduled programming or incurring additional facility closures. Moreover, performing this work concurrently with the broader renovation effort would capitalize on the presence of mobilized personnel, equipment, and construction management resources, thereby improving project efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Staff has thoroughly reviewed the proposed scope of work and concurs with the recommendation. Proceeding with the improvements is operationally advantageous, fiscally responsible, and aligned with established public safety and facility maintenance objectives. Improvements will be done through a change order with Landscapes Unlimited or an alternative vendor.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options available:

1. Approve the proposed hardscape improvements at the Pavilion Event Center using stamped concrete.

2. Defer the proposed hardscape improvements to a later date.

3. Direct staff to explore and evaluate alternative materials or design approaches for the Pavilion's hardscape.

FISCAL IMPACT:

As part of the Player's Golf Course renovation contract, the City Council approved a $700,000 contingency fund, which was included in the original bid award. To date, no expenditures have been made from this allocation.

In accordance with the City Council's adopted authorization thresholds, any individual expenditure from the contingency fund exceeding $25,000 requires formal approval by the Council. The engineer's estimate for the proposed hardscape improvements is $79,000, which includes a 10% contingency to accommodate unforeseen site conditions.

If the City Council authorizes the proposed project, $42,000 would be allocated from the existing golf course contingency. The remaining $37,000 would require a supplemental appropriation from the City's Fire Services Fund.

To: City Council
From: City Manager Department
Prepared by: Nick Werner, IT and Risk Manager
Subject: Approval to Proceed with a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Wireless Master Plan and Supplemental Appropriation

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council APPROVES a Request for Proposal (RFP) to conduct a Wireless Master Plan; and AUTHORIZES approval of a Supplemental Appropriation for $200,000 from Capital Improvements (Fund 3162706) for Fiscal Year 2024/2025; and FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) (CEQA required).

DISCUSSION:

The City of Indian Wells is nestled near the mountainside in the Coachella Valley. The low population density, limited verticality, and breathtaking mountainside views provide a high quality of life; however, these attributes provide some barriers to wireless cellular coverage. These cellular coverage concerns increase closer to the mountain, causing some safety concerns regarding emergency notification. Recently, more residents have been relying on cellular devices as their primary method of communication. Thus, the need to consider methods to assess and improve cellular coverage is increasing in the City. At a City Council Meeting on September 5, 2024, Councilmember Reed requested consideration for a Wireless Study by the City Council. After a brief discussion, the City Council recommended that the consideration for a study be brought back to the City Council at the City Manager's discretion.

On April 17, 2025, the City Council and Housing Authority conducted their Annual Strategic Planning Session. After hearing public testimony with concerns about wireless coverage in neighborhoods and golf communities at that meeting, the City Council identified the preparation of a Wireless Master Plan as a priority. Subsequently, the City Council tasked the Public Safety Committee with reviewing the contents of a Request For Proposals for said service.

Page 17 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
Public Safety Committee Recommendation
A Special Public Safety Committee Meeting was held on April 28, 2025, and the Committee reviewed the City's existing Telecommunication Ordinance, existing cell sites, and the City of Rancho Mirage's Cellular Master Plan recommendation. The Committee discussed the contents of the Plan's recommendations and recommended that the City Council consider moving forward with a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Wireless Master Plan, emphasizing the need for better service in residential neighborhoods and golf courses.

Additionally, the Committee recommended initiating a zoning ordinance clean-up of the City's Telecommunication Ordinance as part of the overhaul of the City's Zoning Ordinance and directed staff to focus on the recruitment of service providers.

Wireless Master Plan Goal
Develop a comprehensive Wireless Master Plan that will assess current coverages from the three major carriers (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T -Mobile) and identify potential gaps in those coverages, as well as develop strategies for improving wireless connectivity, with a focus on neighborhoods and golf courses, ensuring reliability for public safety communications and resident needs.

The deliverables for the Request for Proposal (RFP) will include:
• Recommendations for streamlining the City's Zoning and Permitting Processes to encourage cellular providers to improve wireless coverage. • Assessment of existing wireless infrastructure, including a city-wide coverage map. • Identify areas where additional coverage or capacity is needed, emphasizing residential neighborhoods and golf courses.
• Recommendations for potential solutions, including deploying new cell towers, small cell towers, small cells, or other technologies, considering aesthetic and environmental factors.
• An analysis of the potential costs and benefits of various solutions. • An implementation plan with a timeline and phasing strategy. • Identify strategies to recruit cellular providers to expand their services in the City. • Recommendations for encouraging emergency notification solutions on golf carts at private golf courses.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Public Safety Committee recommends approval of a Supplemental Appropriation for $200,000 from Capital Improvements (Fund 3162706) for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The City acting as Lead Agency, has determined the Wireless Master Plan qualifies as being Categorically Exempt from 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.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
Desert Rodeo is proud to partner with Golden Circle of Champions, an organization raising awareness and funds for children battling pediatric cancer. Through community -driven fundraising, Desert Rodeo supports local families in the Greater Palm Springs area while empowering children to build courage through cowboy camaraderie. Honored as Golden Champions, these children trade thoughts of chemo and treatment for the excitement of bulls and broncs, channeling their inner cowboy or cowgirl with Resistol cowboy hats and Montana Silversmiths Champion belt buckles. There is no greater champion than a child fighting cancer.

Resolution No. 2022-36 Section F (13) — Promote community resources and private facilities, including charitable and non-profit organizations facilities, available for use by city residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget sets aside up to $2,500 for each Council Member to attend governmental or public purpose events. The Finance Department will track the expenditure and provide monthly reports to the Senior Executive Assistant. The events listed above are budgeted and do not create a new financial impact.

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.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
This list is not intended to be exhaustive, but is merely illustrative of the types of Events where the distribution of tickets has been clearly authorized:
a. BNP Paribas Open
b. Desert Town Hall Lecture Series
c. Indian Wells Arts Festival
d. Doctor George Car Show
G. TICKETS DISTRIBUTED AT THE BEHEST OF A CITY OFFICIAL.

Only the following City Officials shall have the authority to behest tickets: City Council Members, City Manager and Department Heads.

Tickets shall be distributed at the behest of a City Official only for one or more public purposes set forth in section above. If tickets are distributed at the behest of a City Official, such City Official shall not use one of the tickets so distributed to attend the Event.

H. PUBLIC PURPOSES RELATED TO BNP PARIBAS OPEN.

Participation by City Officials in the ticketed events and activities hosted by the BNP Paribas Open is important to provide an opportunity for City leaders to be involved in the City's largest special event. By attending the two-week long activities, including the tournament, City Officials have the ability to meet and greet residents and visitors to the City. Moreover, City Officials are accountable for the funding and support that the City contributes to the BNP Paribas Open, and therefore some level of attendance during the tournament is necessary for City Officials to provide suggested improvements to Desert Champions LLC management staff and City staff that will enhance and improve the overall event and its economic and public impact on the City.

This Policy is not applicable to tickets to the BNP Paribas Open available to all City residents through the annual lottery.

I. PUBLIC PURPOSES RELATED TO CITY SPONSORED EVENTS.

Participation by City Officials in events wherein the City has made a monetary contribution and/or is a named sponsor is important. Such events serve to enhance the image of the City as a world -class destination resort. These events provide the public with access to many distinguished public and civic leaders as well as significant cultural enhancement. The active participation of City Officials at such events serves to attract additional resources and economic opportunities for this community. City Officials at such events represent the City in interacting with dignitaries and they meet and greet residents and visitors to the City. Moreover, City Officials are accountable for the funding and support that the City contributes to these events, and therefore some level of attendance is appropriate for City Officials to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the event and suggest ways in which events may be enhanced and improved to maximize the economic and public benefit to the City.

Subject: Summary of Goals, Strategies, and Initiatives from the 2025 City Council Strategic Planning Session

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

BACKGROUND:

On April 17, 2025, the City Council and Housing Authority conducted their Annual Strategic Planning Session. This report summarizes the priorities established by the City Council and Housing Authority at that session meeting.

Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it is going to get there, and how it knows if the goals were reached or not. This is the City's "Game Plan." The focus of a strategic plan is to outline the goals of the City Council and Housing Authority for the benefit of the community/organization over a period of time (one, three, or five years is recommended). Goals -based planning starts with a focus on the organization's vision and/or values, then the selection of projects and programs to meet and achieve the goals, an analysis of the resources needed and available, and finally, who will do what and by when. Goal setting has the following benefits:
• A better understanding by citizens and staff of the City Council's plans as a single governing body for the future of the City of Indian Wells. • Focusing on priorities and initiatives that will have the greatest benefit to the community.
• Formally adopted City Council Goals provide staff with formal directions to plan and organize resources efficiently and effectively to ensure their timely completion. • Identifying funding priorities and appropriations for transparent and efficient use of City and Housing Authority funds.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
• Goals are established to allow flexibility to meet changing needs of the community. • City staff are more focused and accountable in achieving City Council Goals. • Creating a sense of direction and purpose, fostering trust and goodwill with residents and stakeholders.

Each goal contains various strategies and initiatives designed to achieve it. A strategy is the approach taken to reach a goal, while initiatives are more specific actions guided by the strategy designed to achieve the goals. For example, in Goal #1 -Safeguarding the Community, "expand emergency preparedness programs" is a strategy, while "seek funding to rebuild/rehabilitate City emergency operation center" is an initiative.

DISCUSSION:

As part of the 2025 Strategic Planning Session, the City Council/Housing Authority received an update on the finances of the City and Housing Authority, the five-year Capital Improvement Program, and Golf Resort operations. In addition, the City Council and Housing Authority provided direction on numerous City/Housing Authority goals, strategies and initiatives, as summarized below.

Financial Status for the City and Housing Authority
The City Council and Housing Authority were provided an update on the financial status of the City, including a healthy cash reserve, conservative projected General Fund surplus of over $54.5 million over the next ten years, repayment of former redevelopment agency loans to the City of $8.5 million over the next three years, grant funds received and pending approval, and the development of new revenue sources (e.g., developer fees, future TOT revenues, and an operational Community Facilities District). In addition, staff provided an update on the Housing Authority fund, which is expected to run out of money in Fiscal Year 2028-2029 based on current financial conditions.

Moving forward, staff will continue the following:
• Continue the Council Policy of reserving $2 million annually for long-term capital replacements.
• Continue the Council Policy of maintaining a fully funded pension program. • Maintain a General Fund Reserve of 70% of the General Fund operating budget. • Examine and develop recommendations to address the declining Housing Authority fund balance over the next 12 months.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
May 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Public Works Department
Prepared by: Dina Purvis, Assistant Public Works Director Subject: Fiscal Year 2025-26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Funding Allocation

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

DISCUSSION:

Background:

In April 2017, California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), known also as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, creating a new funding source to address the needs of California's transportation system. SB 1 created an account, the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), where increases in the newly implemented per gallon fuel excise taxes and existing portions of diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees would be deposited. Collectively, these RMRA funds are to be continuously appropriated on a monthly basis and apportioned by formula to cities and counties for road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs. The first apportionment began in mid -January 2018.

Funding:

According to a report published by California City Finance, the City of Indian Wells (City) is estimated to receive an approximate total of $125,858 in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The estimate is provided by California City Finance (Attachment 2).

Page 68 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
RMRA Program Requirements and Use of Funds:

Similar to the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) use rules, RMRA funds must be used for projects that include the following:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation;
• Safety projects;
• Railroad grade separations;
• Complete streets components (including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects); and
• Traffic control devices
RMRA funds may also be utilized by cities and counties towards match requirements for state or federal funds for eligible projects.

Furthermore, SB 1 contains non -obligatory language that encourages the use of RMRA funds to incorporate the following additional project elements (to the extent possible and cost-effective):
• Use of advanced material recycling techniques that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce maintenance costs of local streets and roads; • Incorporate automotive technologies and infrastructure -to -vehicle communications for autonomous vehicle systems;
• Promote resiliency to impacts of climate change, fires, floods, sea level rise; and • Incorporate complete street elements that improve quality and safety for all users of transportation facilities.

Lastly, if a city or county has an average pavement condition index (PCI) score that meets or exceeds 80, the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than the previously listed items. The City contracted with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. in 2021 to assess the pavement throughout the entire City. That report indicated the citywide PCI was 75.3. Subsequently, Bucknam did another reporting after the Highway 111 Pavement Rehabilitation Project and Local Streets Paving Project that both occurred in 2022 and the citywide PCI was 78 which is considered "Good" overall.

In October 2023, after both the Highway 111 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 2 and the Local Streets Paving Projects were completed, Bucknam did another report and the PCI is now 85.1 which exceeds the required score of 80. Additional Local Roads Paving work was done in 2025, the updated PCI is now at 89.

Maintenance of Effort:

The Road Repair and Accountability Act contains a local agency maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. The MOE

Page 69 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
requirement ensures that the new RMRA funds do not replace existing levels of city general revenue spending on streets and roads and affirms the City is committed to maintaining the same level of services already being provided after receiving funds.

To receive RMRA funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026, the City must maintain general fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no less than average of FY 2009/2010, FY 2010/2011, and FY 2011/2012. If the City fails to meet this requirement in a given year, it may make it up with additional expenditures the following year.

According to the California City Finance's unofficial estimates, the City's MOE is $1,836,481 (Attachment 3).

Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Annual Project List:

Cities and counties must submit a project list pursuant to an adopted budget to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) prior to receiving RMRA funds in a fiscal year.

The project list must include a description, location, proposed schedule of completion, and estimated useful life of the improvement for each proposed project. According to the guidelines adopted by the CTC in August 2018, "after submittal of the project list to the Commission, in the event a city or county elects to make changes to the project list pursuant to the statutory provision noted above, formal notification of the Commission is not required."
The RMRA requires that a city or county submit to the CTC an annual report of project completion to receive RMRA funds. The report must include descriptions of all projects for which RMRA funds were expended including (as with the submittal of the preceding project listing) a description, location, proposed schedule of completion, and estimated useful life of the improvement for each proposed project.

This fiscal year staff is recommending the following project list from the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for RMRA funding; the Local Roads and Streets Program.

Below is a further breakdown of the project.

Local Roads and Streets Program
Project Description: This project is a key component of the City's Pavement Management Program (PMP), which systematically identifies roadway segments for preventive maintenance or rehabilitation. Under the PMP, streets are evaluated and selected for treatment such as slurry seal —aimed at extending pavement life — or for more intensive resurfacing such as grind and overlay. Maintenance activities under this project will include crack cleaning and sealing, application of a slurry seal surface treatment, and pavement restriping. The project will utilize either a

Page 70 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
rubberized polymer -modified slurry seal or rubberized hot mix asphalt, depending on the specific treatment requirements of each roadway segment.

Project Location: Camino del Rey north of Shoshone Drive, Reina Court, Indian Wells Lane south of Shoshone, Fairway Drive from Eldorado Drive to Indian Wells Lane.

Project Cost Allocation: $560,000
Proposed Schedule of Completion: The proposed project will start in Fall 2025 and complete construction by Summer 2026.

Estimated Useful Life: The estimated life span is estimated to be equal to or greater than 8 years without major repair work required.

The proposed resolution is expected to be acceptable as confirmation that the project list is in fact included in our CIP budget pursuant to a decision made at a regular public meeting. The projects identified in this proposed list are in the proposed FY 25/26 CIP.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In Fiscal Year 2025/26, the City is anticipating receiving an estimated $125,858 in RMRA funds which will support the funding of the Capital Improvement Plan's annual asphalt program. The project identified is currently proposed projects in the FY 2025/26 CIP program.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
May 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: City Manager's Office
Prepared by: Kristen Nelson, Administrative Services Manager Subject: Authorization to Temporarily Increase Staffing to Allow for Cross -Training of Anticipated New Hires

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council APPROVES a temporary increase in staffing allocation for the Executive Assistant to the City Manager and Permit Technician II positions from one Full Time Equivalent (FTE) to two FTEs for each; and,
AUTHORIZES a temporary budget increase in the amount of $33,800 for the same; and,
AUTHORIZES the staffing allocation adopted by the City Council in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget on July 18, 2024, be increased through August 1, 2025; and, FINDS the action exempt from CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).

DISCUSSION:

Two long-term employees have notified the City of their pending retirement. To ensure day-to-day operations are maintained at the highest level of service, their managers would like to implement a period of cross -training between the existing employees and their replacement hires.

Annually, the Council adopts an approved staffing list that currently allocates one FTE (Full -Time Equivalent) for both the Executive Assistant to the City Manager and the Permit Technician II positions (ATTACHMENT 1). Changes to this list require City Council approval.

To transparently account for the temporary cross -training, Council would need to authorize a temporary increase from one FTE to two FTE for both the Executive Assistant to the City Manager and the Permit Technician II positions, thus allowing for Human

Page 77 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
Resources to pursue these new hires without a vacancy needing to occur first.

Additionally, Council would need to authorize a temporary increase in the budget to account for the personnel cost associated with the temporary staffing increase.

OPTIONS:

City Council has the following options available:

1. Allow for the temporary staffing increase to accommodate the requested cross - training; or

2. Deny the temporary staffing increase; or

3. Provide alternative direction
FISCAL IMPACT:

The staffing augmentation is proposed for the period of June 1, 2025, through July 31, 2025. The fully burdened cost associated with the addition of two full-time equivalent (FTE) positions is estimated at $33,800. Implementation of this action requires Council approval of a supplemental appropriation to the relevant salary and benefit accounts within the Building and City Manager's program within the City's General Fund to accommodate the associated personnel expenditures.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The action is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly; and that the action is nonetheless exempt from the requirements of CEQA in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (15061(b)(3).)

The IWCC clubhouse serves as the main facility supporting its membership with a golf pro shop, restaurant, indoor fitness facility, and recreational amenities including a 36 - hole golf course, driving range, chipping and putting green, and bocce ball court. The new pickleball courts are part of the IWCC efforts to provide additional recreational amenities for its club members and attract new members.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
The Indian Wells Country Club was founded in 1956 as one of the first private clubs in the desert. The existing clubhouse was originally approved under CUP 2-90-5 by the City Council on January 17, 1991, authorizing the construction of a 56,000 square -foot private membership clubhouse in compliance with the applicable zoning regulations at that time.

A subsequent modification to CUP 2-90-05 in 1998 allowed the expansion of the clubhouse to 62,555 square feet.

All existing clubhouses within the City's private Country Club's operate within areas where a Golf Course Overlay exists within the Golf and Recreation base zone and include golf courses and supporting recreational amenities such as driving ranges, tennis and pickleball courts, pools, spas, and fitness centers (Attachment 3). As the only Country Club within the City's jurisdiction without pickleball courts, the IWCC would also like to include this recreational amenity to enhance the overall experience for their existing and future club members.

Section 21.06.040 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code ("IWMC") requires that the Planning Commission review and make a recommendation to the City Council to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove modifications to CUP's. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on December 12, 2024 to consider the proposed pickleball facilities at IWCC and adopted a resolution recommending City Council approval with a Condition added to include a project specific noise study and a survey of the surrounding property owners and the associated club members (Attachment 14).

ANALYSIS:

IWCC is formally requesting City Council's approval to modify their existing CUP to add six new pickleball courts approximately 11,521sf of surface area, with 12 -foot high sound barrier fencing, eleven new golf cart parking spaces, eleven 20 -foot -tall court lights, a 1,730sf waiting area with pavers, a 2 -foot -deep drainage basin, and 2,172sf of landscape modifications (Attachment 4). The new recreational amenity and associated improvements will be developed on a portion of the existing driving range facility, located immediately adjacent to the clubhouse driveway and parking lot, and 400 -feet away from the nearest residential homes along Club Terrace Drive to the east. The pickleball courts will be enclosed on the north, east, and south sides by a 12 -foot high noise barrier fence to reduce noise at the nearest residential homes to the east. Drainage patterns will be slightly modified to route stormwater runoff generated from the impervious court surface to a 2 -foot -deep retention basin designed to contain 100% of the stormwater runoff.

There are no modifications proposed to the clubhouse building or vehicular access roads or existing parking areas serving the clubhouse.

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
Land Use & Zoning
The IWCC clubhouse campus is surrounded by the existing 36 -hole golf course, with the nearest residential uses located approximately 500 -feet east of the clubhouse. As shown on the City's General Plan Land Use and Zoning Map, the General Plan Land Use Designation for the area is "Open Space" within a "Golf and Recreation" Zone (Attachment 5). Section 21.14.080(p) of the IWMC, further defines the clubhouse campus and golf course area as being located within the City's Sub -Planning Area 8.4 (Attachment 6). The IWMC describes Subarea 8.4 as being zoned Residential Very Low Density ("RVLD') with a Golf Course Overlay, which pertains to the 27 -hole golf course. Section 21.40.020 further establishes that the City's Golf Course Overlay applies "coterminous" to the boundaries of the underlain golf course. Therefore, within the Golf and Recreation Zone, the Golf Course Overlay applies specifically to the 36 -hole Golf Course itself — coterminous with the boundaries of the Golf Course tees, fairways, greens, bunkers and lakes. Section

21.08.260 of the IWMC specifically excludes a "driving range" as being considered part of a golf course, and intuitively it is not part of the IWCC 36 -hole golf course. Open Space and Recreational uses are allowed within the remaining areas outside the Golf Course Overlay and still within the Golf and Recreation Zone.

The Applicant is proposing to locate the new pickleball facility on a portion of the existing driving range within the Golf and Recreation Zone. The proposed location would maintain a majority of the existing driving range use and would have no effect on the existing design of the 36 -hole golf course. The new pickleball courts are intended to serve as an additional recreational amenity for the existing and future club members of the IWCC and have been designed to complement existing recreational facilities within the clubhouse campus, including the driving range and practice area, bocce ball courts, and fitness center. The addition of pickleball courts within the clubhouse campus is consistent with other Country Clubs in the City and aligns with established goals and policies in the City's Resource Management Element that encourage convenient access to recreation facilities in effort to provide well -planned, welcoming, and safe recreation opportunities for all members of the community. Specifically, the project is consistent with General Plan Policy RM-3.1, which promotes recreational opportunities throughout the City that help to enhance the quality of life of Indian Wells residents, and further the City's vision as a destination resort community.

Section 21.23.030 of the IWMC conditionally permits recreational facilities within the RVLD base zone, including but not limited to, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts, etc., with approval of a CUP (or modification to an existing CUP). The development, as conditioned, meets the required findings listed in IWMC 21.06.040(d) as described in the attached resolution (refer to Attachment 1). Staff's land use and zoning analysis of the proposal is consistent with the precedent established by prior city approval of similar recreational amenities within existing Country Club's in the City with the same land use/zoning districts.

Noise
The City retained Acoustics Group, Inc., ("AGI") to perform a professional acoustical study ("noise study") evaluating the projected noise from pickleball play on 2 development options for either a 6 or 4 -court pickleball facility at the proposed location within the IWCC clubhouse campus. AGI's methodology included a thorough review and understanding of the City of Indian Wells Noise Ordinance, conducting ambient noise level measurements at the site, measuring and recording noise from pickleball play at similar facilities with 6 and 4 -courts, analyzing and modeling the predicted noise of pickleball play at the proposed site (considering the natural and built environment), and evaluating noise control measures for further consideration in reducing perceptible noise increases at the nearest residential homes, if warranted. Below is a summary of the findings from the noise study. Please refer to Attachment 7 for a more detailed analysis.

City Noise Standard
The City of Indian Wells Noise Ordinance Section 9.06.040 specifies exterior noise standards for residential uses. The City sets a cumulative Leq (equivalent continuous sound level) daytime and nighttime noise standards at 55 and 50 dBA, respectively. The Leq metric is a single -number noise descriptor which represents the average sound level over a given period of time, where the actual sound level varies with time. The City's noise ordinance also allows increased noise levels for shorter cumulative time periods with a daytime and nighttime Lmax of 75 and 70 dBA, respectively. Additionally, if the ambient noise level exceeds the noise levels permitted by the 30 and 15 minutes per hour categories the allowed noise limit shall be increased in five (5) dBA increments in each category to encompass the ambient noise level. If the ambient noise level exceeds the daytime and nighttime Lmax of 75 and 70 dBA, respectively, the maximum ambient noise level shall be the noise limit. The table below summarizes the City of Indian Wells Noise Standards.

Ambient Noise Survey
AGI conducted a noise survey on February 19 through 20, 2025, to record and document baseline ambient noise levels from existing noise sources in the area. Four long-term 24 - hour noise measurements ("NM") were conducted adjacent to the nearest noise sensitive receptors to the north (NM1), east (NM2), southeast (NM3), and northwest (NM4) of the future pickleball courts. Refer to the exhibit below for the location of these noise monitoring stations relative to the project site:

Noise sources affecting the ambient environment included typical community noises such as gardening activities, sprinklers, golf carts, and golfers. The table below depicts the existing ambient noise levels measured at the specific noise monitoring stations during the ambient noise survey:

6 -Court Pickleball Play Noise Analysis "without" Project Noise Barrier Fence Pickleball noise levels were modeled at the site considering simultaneous play on 6 -courts without the Project's noise barrier fence to provide a "baseline condition" for comparing the effectiveness of the project's noise barrier fencing (provided later in this section).

The noise modeling determined that even without the Project's noise barrier fencing, the associated noise level from pickleball play on 6 -courts would be in compliance with the City's Daytime Noise Standard of 55 dBA and the Lmax standard of 75 dBA at all 4 monitoring stations. The following 2 tables summarize the assessment of the pickleball Leq and Lmax noise levels with all 6 -courts in play as compared to the City's allowable daytime standard, respectively:

The noise study determined that the associated pickleball noise from simultaneous play on 6 -courts would be lower than the ambient noise levels between the hours of 8:00am — 1:OOpm but would be slightly higher than the ambient conditions between the hours of 2:OOpm - 8:OOpm. Although the pickleball noise level during both these periods was determined to be in compliance with the City's daytime noise standard, the pickleball noise could remain audible and may still be a source of annoyance to sensitive individuals, especially when the ambient background noise level is lower.

It should be noted that the same analysis was conducted in the noise study for the 4 - court design option (without the noise barrier fencing), which determined the associated pickleball noise would be proportionally reduced and in further compliance with the City's daytime noise standard, as expected based on the results of the 6 -court option. In summary, the 4 -court design option resulted in lowering the pickleball noise levels to

47.9, 49.9, 52.6, and 23.2 dBA at locations NM1 through NM4, respectively (refer to Attachment 7 for a more detailed analysis of the 4 -court design option). 6 -Court Pickleball Play Noise Analysis "with" The Project Noise Barrier Fencing The noise study determined that the associated noise levels from pickleball play on either the 6 or 4 -court options would be in compliance with the City's daytime noise standard without the use of the Project's proposed noise barrier fencing. However, the study did acknowledge that the pickleball noise could remain audible and may still be a source of annoyance to sensitive individuals, especially when the ambient background noise level is lower. To help further reduce the associated noise levels at the nearest residential homes, the Applicant has committed to installing a 12 -foot high noise barrier fence (Attachment 8) as a standard design feature of the Project surrounding the north, east, and south sides of the pickleball courts. The effectiveness of the project's noise barrier fencing was analyzed in the noise study as a comparison to the 6 and 4 -court options without noise barrier (as a baseline condition).

The study determined that the use of the noise barrier on the 6 -court option would further reduce the projected noise levels from the baseline condition to 45.1, 46.8, 49.3, and

23.9 dBA at the noise monitoring locations NM1 through NM4, respectively.

Consequently, this indicates that the Project's noise barrier fencing would effectively provide an average noise reduction in the range of 2.1 to 5.5 dBA (N8% - 10%) at the noise monitoring locations as compared to the baseline condition.

Quiet Paddle Option: Manufacturers and enthusiasts have taken note that some communities near pickleball courts aren't too pleased with the noise and have worked to create paddles that dull or mute the impact of the ball hitting the paddle. These "quiet paddle" options incorporate manufacturing characteristics that help create a quieter pickleball experience. Quiet pickleball paddle options were also evaluated in the noise study in combination with the Project's 12 -foot high noise barrier fencing. It should be noted that the Applicant has not committed to requiring the use of quiet pickleball

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
paddles, but the City directed AIG to include the analysis in the noise study to further demonstrate the effectiveness of using these types of paddles in combination with the 12 -ft high noise barrier. The noise study determined that the associated pickleball noise levels with the combination of the quiet paddles and noise barrier fencing would reduce the pickleball noise to 41.4, 43.1, 45.5, and 19.2 dBA at the noise monitoring locations NM1 through NM4, respectively. This would effectively provide an average noise reduction in the range of 6.8 to 9.3 dBA as compared to the baseline condition.

The following table from the noise study provides a comparison of the modeled noise levels for pickleball play on 6 -courts, including: 1) no noise barrier wall; 2) with the noise barrier wall; and 3) with combination of quiet paddles and noise barrier wall.

Note: - Noise Reduction achieved with corresponding Option calculated by subtracting the predicted noise level with noise barrier from the unmitigated noise level. For example, fo NM1 Option 1. the noise reductio is 49.8 —45.1 = 4.5 dB.

It should be noted that a similar analysis was conducted in the noise study for the 4 -court design option with the combination of quiet paddles and noise barrier wall, which determined the associated pickleball noise would be proportionally reduced and in further compliance with the City's daytime noise standard, as expected based on the results of the 6 -court option. In summary, the 4 -court design option resulted in lowering the pickleball noise levels to 39.7, 40.8, 43.5, and 17.2 dBA at locations NM1 through NM4, respectively (refer to Attachment 7 for a more detailed analysis of this 4 -court design option).

As analyzed and modeled in the noise study, the associated pickleball noise would be in compliance with the City's daytime noise standard even under the baseline condition, which considered pickleball play on 6 -courts without a noise barrier fence or the use of quiet paddles. The Applicant has committed to including a 12 -foot high noise barrier fence surrounding the north, east, and south perimeter of the courts to further reduce associated noise to the surrounding community.

Parking
The clubhouse was originally approved and conditioned to maintain not less than 190 parking spaces on site to support the clubhouse and golf course uses. There are currently 198 vehicle stalls and 125 golf cart stalls for a total of 323 existing parking stalls onsite.

A parking study was conducted by Urban Crossroads to determine any potential need for additional parking due to the addition of the new pickleball courts (Attachment 9). The study found that a total of 251 parking spaces would adequately serve the existing facility and new pickleball use. As part of the project, IWCC is adding 11 more golf cart spaces to directly serve the new pickleball facility, which would bring the total parking stalls onsite to 334 spaces. This exceeds the required parking by approximately 25%; therefore, the project would have no impact on existing parking and no new stalls would be required.

Lighting
The proposed improvements include new court lighting at a maximum of 20 feet above the court surface. A lighting study (photometric) was prepared for the project to demonstrate the projected illumination levels onsite and at surrounding properties.

According to the study, the new court lighting would result in no light trespass (0.0 footcandles) at the nearest residential property lines located approximately 400 -feet east of the pickleball court location (Attachment 10). The hours of operation for the pickleball courts shall be consistent with those of the adjacent Indian Wells Country Club Clubhouse, which varies throughout the year but shall not operate prior to 8am or past 8pm on any day of the week.

Landscape
The proposed improvements include modifications to 2,768sf of landscape area designed by a professional landscape architect (Attachment 11). Consistent with the City's landscape standards, the proposed landscape improvements have been designed to complement the existing landscaping, including a minimum of 5 diverse plant species and 13 new palm trees added to the site.

The City's Design Review Committee ("DRC") met on October 24, 2024, to review the project's overall site and landscape design to ensure the general appearance of the improvements are compatible with the existing built and landscape environment. The DRC unanimously approved the project's overall design including noise barrier fencing, determining the project was compatible with the character and standards of the existing clubhouse and surrounding community (Attachment 12).

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
Community Outreach
Staff has spoken with the Applicant who contends that the project's final design presented to City Council is a culmination of over two years of discussion between the Indian Wells Country Club ownership and its members.

During the December 12, 2024, Planning Commission Hearing, the Commission requested the Applicant perform a survey of its members and the nearby surrounding residents to solicit their input in favor or opposition to the proposed project prior to City Council's hearing. During the first week of April, the Applicant circulated 50 certified mail ballots to the property owners within 500 -feet of the project area. As reported by the Applicant (Attachment 13), 40 property owners responded to the survey with 24 in favor (60%), 15 opposed (37.5%), and 1 neutral (2.5%). During the same time, the Applicant also circulated the survey online to its membership and reported 336 total responses, with 56% in favor, 34% opposed, and 9.8% neutral.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. The applicant has submitted and paid for all the required City applications under consideration, and the project will have no impact on the City's General Fund.

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 modification to CUP No. 2-90-05 qualifies as being Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Existing Facilities, and Section 15303, Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 describes Class 1 categorical exemptions as follows:
"Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The types of "existing facilities" itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use." The Project will be developed on part of the existing, disturbed driving range and would not expand Country Club use.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 describes Class 3 categorical exemptions as follows:

Page 89 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
"15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel."
Sections 15303(a) through (f) provide examples of structures that qualify as Class 3 projects, which include, but are not limited to, those summarized herein: (a) one single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone; (b) a duplex or similar multi -family residential structure totaling no more than four dwelling units; (c) a store, motel, office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area; (d) utility extensions; (e) accessory structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences; and (f) steam sterilization units to treat medical waste. The proposed project is consistent with the definition and examples listed in Section Guidelines section 15303. The proposed Project would result in the construction and operation of up to six (6) pickleball courts with associated improvements that can be considered an accessory structure and ancillary use to the adjacent clubhouse found in close proximity. The Project will not involve any use of hazardous substances and will consist of "construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures.

CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 establishes six (6) exceptions to categorical exemptions.

The Project, which involves the construction and operation of six (6) new pickleball courts and associated improvements, have been evaluated to determine whether any exceptions apply. None of the exceptions apply to the Project for the following reasons:
(a) Location. The Project is located within the existing Indian Wells Country Club property which has previously been developed for Golf Course and Recreational uses. The subject property is not located in a sensitive environmental area of hazardous or critical concern as designated or mapped by federal, state, or local agencies.
(b) Cumulative Impact. The Project is a standalone project with a single phase of construction. The project is not part of a series of projects that may contribute to a substantial cumulative impact on the environment. This exception to categorical exemptions does not apply to the Project

Page 90 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
(c) Significant Effect. The Project does not involve any unusual circumstances that will create a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment. The project's potential noise impact has been studied and found to be within the City's daytime noise standards for residential properties and will be even further reduced through a noise barrier system that will maintain the associated noise at or below the existing ambient noise levels. Potential light and glare related impacts have been studied, which determined no light trespass at the nearest residential property located approximately 400 -feet from the Project site. Further, stormwater drainage patterns will be improved to accommodate the new facilities, mitigating any potential impacts from stormwater runoff. Operation of the Project would have no environmental impact on the site or surrounding community. (d) Scenic Highways. The subject property is not located within the viewshed of any scenic highways and will not result in any impact to scenic resources such as trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources.

Landscaping and other project improvements have been reviewed by the City's Design Review Committee and was found consistent with the aesthetic quality and character of the surrounding area.
(e) Hazardous Waste Site. The subject property is not identified as an environmental cleanup site, hazardous waste or substances site (Cortese), or site containing a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST). There are no known hazardous materials, and the project site is not listed as a hazardous waste site listed on Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. (f) Historical Resources. The Indian Wells Country Club and its facilities are not designated as local, state, or federal historic resources. The Project would have no impact on a historical resource. Therefore, this exception to categorical exemptions does not apply to the Project.

As described in the above analysis, the proposed Project is consistent with the terms of the Class 3 exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15303 and Class 1 exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15301. The exceptions to categorical exemptions detailed in CEQA Guideline section 15300.2 do not apply to the Project. Therefore, the Project is exempt from CEQA under each of the Class 1 and Class 3 exemptions.

Is a driving range considered part of the golf course?
All Images Short videos Videos Shopping Forums News : More + Al Overview
No. a driving range is generally not considered part of the golf course itself , though it may be located on the same property. Driving ranges are primarily for practice and skill improvement. whereas the golf course is the main area where the game is played.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Driving ranges are practice facilities:

They are designed for golfers to practice their swings and work on different aspects of their game. c'
Golf courses are the playing area:

They consist of the tee boxes, fairways, greens, and other features where the game of golf is played according to the rules. cP
They can be on the same property:

Many golf courses have a driving range adjacent to the course itself, but they are distinct areas. cP

CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

Opposition to Pickelball courts at IWCC
To Mayor, council and city clerk
Maureen and I are opposed to the addition of the pickelball courts for the following reasons:- ... The devaluation of our friends' property, who are in close proximity to the Club house. They purchased their homes for the views, having the Club nearby and the peacefulness of the surroundings [which will be lost to the noise from pickelball].
.... The substantial loss of the Driving range area. During tournaments, the driving range is in full use with the current size. Also the current size of the driving range is necessary to allow re -growth of the turf of the damaged areas from divots being taken.
...The noise that is caused from playing pickleball. Anywhere pickleball has been introduced to a populated area, noise is the main objection. So whether you are on the range practicing or sitting on the patio of the Club, the whacking of the ball will be an annoyance.

We are not objecting to other activities being added by the Club, as a matter of fact, we thought the addition of the bocce ball courts were tremendous. It is the noise caused by playing pickeball in an area close to private properties, and adjacent to the Club house is the issue.

Respectively

CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

Good morning,
I wanted to express our "no" vote for this proposed project at IWCC that is coming up tomorrow. We live at which is across from the country club and proposed pickle ball courts. We already have a noise problem with the loudness of the bridge going to the club and the courts would even be louder. I have heard they did studies but unless you live there you don't understand how the sound bounces off the mountains and comes our way to the residences.

Again please consider the residences that don't want this and feel like the club is forcing it upon us just so they can generate more funds.

Thank you for your time.

Pickleball at Indian Wells CC
CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

We are long standing and proud residents inside the gates of Indian Wells Country Club. We worry that the addition of pickleball courts at the club will have an adverse impact on our property values and be a setback to the peacefully atmosphere usually associated with a country club environment. The lighting, noise, night time congestion, and loss of green space on the range will make the community environment less attractive for current and future property owners.

Indian Wells Country Club management has openly and repeatedly stated that a prime motivation for the pickleball project will be to attract new members. We think the decision at hand is whether to favor a Dallas- based corporation to raise more revenue or to support the taxpaying local residents of our community

> Good morning Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem, and Councilmembers, >
> I am writing in support of the addition of the proposed pickleball courts at Indian Wells Country Club (IWCC). >
> As a member of the IWCC Board of Governors I believe that enhancing our club's amenities with pickleball facilities will increase our membership and support the economic viability of the club. Pickleball is one of the fastest -growing sports in the country and is an engaging activity that appeals to a wide demographic of all ages and skill levels. Much like golf and bocce that are offered at IWCC, pickleball would also promote physical activity and encourage social connections with club members. Furthermore, the courts could attract prospective homeowners and younger snowbirds who value diverse recreational activities and help IWCC to keep pace with other private clubs in the area that have embraced the sport.
>
1 > The city of Indian Wells has many assets that attract current and future residents, the Indian Wells Country Club is one of those assets. The club is rich in community and history which have helped shape the current, thriving city of Indian Wells.

Mayor Bruce Whitman et al:

My wife and I have been members of Indian Well CC since 2002. We are avid golf members and oppose the placement of a pickleball court on part of the driving range. It will significantly reduce the size of the range, impact tournament preparation and be a distraction for golfers on the first hole of the classic. In addition noise from the court could affect outdoor dining on Curci's patio as well as disturb homes adjoining the driving range.

Sincerely,
Indian Wells, CA 92210

Resolution Approving Modification to Conditional Use
Permit No. 2-90-05 to Construct and Operate up to Six New Pickleball Courts with Associated Sound Barrier Fencing, Golf Cart Parking, Lighting, Drainage and Landscaping
Improvements Adjacent to the Existing Indian Wells
Country Club Clubhouse Located at 46000 Club Drive (APN:
623-160-050), and Finding the Project Exempt from CEQA
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council OPENS the Public Hearing, takes any public testimony, CLOSES the Public Hearing; and
FINDS the project exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301, Existing Facilities, and Section 15303, Construction or Conversion of Small Structures; and
ADOPTS the Resolution to Approve modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 2-90-05 to construct and operate six new pickleball courts with assodated sound barrier fencing, golf cart parking, lighting, drainage and landscaping improvements adjacent to the Indian Wells Country Club Clubhouse.

DISCUSSION:

The IWCC clubhouse serves as the main fadlity supporting its membership with a golf pro shop, restaurant, indoor fitness facility, and recreational amenities including a 36 - hole golf course, driving range, chipping and putting green, and bocce ball court. The new pickleball courts are part of the IWCC efforts to provide additional recreational amenities for its dub members and attract new members.

The Indian Wells Country Club was founded in 1956 as one of the first private clubs i the desert. The existing clubhouse was originally approved under CUP 2-90-5 by the Ci Council on January 17, 1991, authorizing the construction of a 56,000 square -foot pri membership dubhouse in compliance with the applicable zoning regulations at th A subsequent modification to CUP 2-90-05 in 1998 allowed the expans clubhouse to 62,555 square feet

nd include golf
nges, tennis and
Section 21.06.040 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code ("IWMC") requires that the Planning Commission review and make a recommendation to the City Council to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove modifications to CUP's. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on December 12, 2024 to consider the proposed pickleball facilities at IWCC and adopted a resolution recommending City Council approval with a Condition added to include a project specific noise study and a survey of the surrounding property owners and the associated dub members (Attachment 14).

ANALYSIS:

IWCC is formally requesting City Council's approval to modify their existing CUP to add six new pickleball courts approximately 11,521sf of surface area, with 12 -foot high sound barrier fencing, eleven new goff cart parking spaces, eleven 20 -foot -tall court lights, a 1,730sf waiting area with pavers, a 2 -foot -deep drainage basin, and 2,172sf of landscape modifications (Attachment 4). The new recreational amenity and associated improvements will be developed on a portion of the existing driving range facility, located immediately adjacent to the clubhouse driveway and parking lot, and 400 -feet away frorn the nearest residential homes along Club Terrace Drive to the east. The pickleball courts will be enclosed on the north, east, and south sides by a 12 -foot high noise barrier fence to reduce noise at the nearest residential homes to the east. Drainage patterns will be slightly modified to route stormwater runoff generated from the impervious court surface to a 2 -foot -deep retention basin designed to contain 100% of the stormwater runoff.

There are no modifications proposed to the clubhouse building or vehicular access roads or existing parking areas serving the clubhouse.

WHEREAS, Delawie, on behalf of the Indian Wells Country Club (the "Applicant"), has filed an application with the City of Indian Wells (the "City") for a modification to Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") No. 2-90-05 to construct and operate up to six new pickleball courts with associated sound barrier fencing, golf cart parking, lighting, drainage and landscaping improvements located adjacent to the Indian Wells Country Club Clubhouse at 46000 Club Drive (the"Project"); and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2024, a duly noticed public hearing on the Project was held by the Planning Commission where they recommended City Council approval of the project under Resolution No. PC 2024-09; and
WHEREAS, on May 15, 2025, the City Council carefully considered all information pertaining to the Project, including Planning Commission's recommendation, the staff report, project plans and specifications, and approved the Project in accordance with Section 20.28.010(c) of its Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented at its public hearing, the City Council finds as follows:

Conditional Use Permit:

1. The proposed location of the modified conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purpose of the General Plan and zoning land use category in which the site is located.

FACT: As shown on the City's General Plan Land Use and Zonning Map, the subject property and surrounding golf course and clubhouse areas are within the Open Space Golf and Recreation General Plan Land Use Designation. Section 21.14.080(p) of the Indian Wells Municipal Code C'IWMC") further defines the clubhouse campus and golf course area as being located within the City's Sub -Planning Area 8.4. The IWMC describes Subarea 8.4 as being zoned Residential Very Low Density C'RVLD") with a Golf Course Overlay. The Golf Course Overlay Zone regulations pertain exclusively to the 36 - holes of golf in the Indian Wells Country Club. Section 21.40.020, the Golf Course Overlay is conterminous with the 36 -hole golf course and per Section 21.08.260, golf courses specifically exclude driving ranges. No portion of the proposed pickleball facility

Page 93 of 494 ends

Council Agenda- May 15, 2025
City of Indian Wells
Resolution No. 2025 -

Page 2 ends

is located conterminous with the existing 36 -hole golf course. Therefore, the proposed location of the pickleball facility is governed by the land use requirements within the Open Space Golf and Recreation area with an RVLD base zone. Section 21.23.030 of the IWMC conditionally permits recreational facilities within the RVLD base zone, including but not limited to, tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, etc., with approval of a CUP (or modification to an existing CUP).

The proposed modification to the Conditional Use Permit No. 2-90-5 is in accord with the objectives of the City's Zoning Ordinance and the purpose of the General Plan and the RVLD Zone in which the site is located. The Project is consistent with General Plan Policy RM-3.1, which promotes recreational opportunities for residents by facilitating additional recreational facilities throughout the City that help to enhance the quality of life of Indian Wells residents, and further the City's vision as a destination resort community. The proposed expansion of recreational amenities within the clubhouse area of the Indian Wells Country Club is also consistent with the intended use under the original CUP approval.

2. The proposed conditional use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

FACT: The proposed Project will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare, nor will it materially injure surrounding properties or improvements. The Project will adhere to all applicable sections of the California Building Code, California Fire Code and Municipal Code, thereby preventing adverse impacts resulting from the facility's development and operation. A noise study was prepared for the Project, which determined the project would comply with the City's daytime noise standards. The Applicant has committed to installing a 12 -foot high noise barrier fence surrounding the north, east, and southern perimeters of the court to further reduce any potential noise from reaching the surrounding community. The new facility has been designed to complement the surrounding uses and has been approved by the City's Design Review Committee ("DRC"), which determined the Project and associated improvements, including noise barrier fencing, are compatible with the existing clubhouse and surrounding community.

3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Code except for approved Variances.

FACT: As conditioned, the modification to CUP No. 2-90-05 complies with all applicable provisions of the City's Zoning Code. The construction and operation of the six pickleball courts and the associated improvements is considered a major modification to CUP No. 2-90-5 and the Project's review and approval procedure is consistent with IWMC Section

21.06.040. Further, in accordance with IWMC Section 21.23.30, country clubs/golf courses and recreational facilities are conditionally permitted uses within the RVLD base Zone, subject to approval of a CUP or CUP Modification. The addition of pickleball courts within the clubhouse campus is consistent with other Country Clubs in the City and aligns with established goals and policies in the City's Resource Management Element that encourage recreational opportunities for the City's residents and prioritizes conservation of open space and recreational opportunities that complement

golf course operations. The proposed Project provides additional amenities to the members of the Indian Wells Country Club and conforms with the applicable provisions of the City's Zoning Code.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

1. Modification to CUP No. 2-90-05 has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA.

FACT: 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 modification to CUP No. 2-90-05 qualifies as being Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Existing Facilities, and Section 15303, Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.

The types of "existing facilities" itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use."
The Project will be developed on part of the existing, disturbed driving range and would not expand Country Club use.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 describes Class 3 categorical exemptions as follows:
"15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel." Sections 15303(a) through (f) provide examples of structures that qualify as Class 3 projects, which include, but are not limited to, those summarized herein: (a) one single- family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone; (b) a duplex or similar multi -family residential structure totaling no more than four dwelling units; (c) a store, motel, office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area; (d) utility extensions; (e) accessory structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences; and (f) steam sterilization units to treat medical waste. The proposed project is consistent with the definition and examples listed in Section Guidelines section 15303.

Project will not involve any use of hazardous substances and will consist of "construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures.

CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 establishes six (6) exceptions to categorical exemptions. The Project, which involves the construction and operation of six (6) new pickleball courts and associated improvements, have been evaluated to determine whether any exceptions apply. None of the exceptions apply to the Project for the following reasons:
(a) Location. The Project is located within the existing Indian Wells Country Club property which has previously been developed for Golf Course and Recreational uses. The subject property is not located in a sensitive environmental area of hazardous or critical concern as designated or mapped by federal, state, or local agencies. (b) Cumulative Impact. The Project is a standalone project with a single phase of construction. The project is not part of a series of projects that may contribute to a substantial cumulative impact on the environment. This exception to categorical exemptions does not apply to the Project
(c) Significant Effect. The Project does not involve any unusual circumstances that will create a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment. The project's potential noise impact has been studied and found to be within the City's daytime noise standards for residential properties and will be even further reduced through a noise barrier system that will maintain the associated noise at or below the existing ambient noise levels. Potential light and glare related impacts have been studied, which determined no light trespass at the nearest residential property located approximately 400 -feet from the Project site. Further, stormwater drainage patterns will be improved to accommodate the new facilities, mitigating any potential impacts from stormwater runoff. Operation of the Project would have no environmental impact on the site or surrounding community. (d) Scenic Highways. The subject property is not located within the viewshed of any scenic highways and will not result in any impact to scenic resources such as trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources. Landscaping and other project improvements have been reviewed by the City's Design Review Committee and was found consistent with the aesthetic quality and character of the surrounding area.
(e) Hazardous Waste Site. The subject property is not identified as an environmental cleanup site, hazardous waste or substances site (Cortese), or site containing a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST). There are no known hazardous materials, and the project site is not listed as a hazardous waste site listed on Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
(f) Historical Resources. The Indian Wells Country Club and its facilities are not designated as local, state, or federal historic resources. The Project would have no impact on a historical resource. Therefore, this exception to categorical exemptions does not apply to the Project.

INDIAN WELLS COUNTRY CLUB PICKLEBALL NOISE STUDY
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained by the City of Indian Wells to evaluate pickleball noise for the proposed Pickleball Facility adjacent to the Indian Wells Country Club Clubhouse. The club proposes adding either six (6) or four (4) pickleball courts. AGI has reviewed the City of Indian Wells Noise Standard, conducted ambient noise level measurements, conducted a propagation survey which considers local environmental factors, analyzed pickleball noise, assessed the impact of the pickleball noise, and evaluated noise control measures for reducing the noise at the nearby residential homes.

The Leq from the pickleball play on the proposed six (6) courts was determined to be

49.6, 52.0, 54.8, and 26.0 dBA at locations NM1 through NM4, respectively. Pickleball Lmax noise levels will be as high as 64.6, 67.0, 69.8, and 41.0 dBA at the same locations.

At locations NM1 through NM4, future pickleball noise will comply with the City's Daytime Noise Standard of 55 dBA. However, pickleball play will exceed ambient noise levels at some of the nearest noise sensitive receptors between 2PM and 8PM. Pickleball play could be audible during periods when the ambient background is lower.

The Leq from the pickleball play on the proposed four (4) courts was determined to be

47.9, 49.9, 52.6, and 23.2 dBA at locations NM1 through NM4, respectively. Pickleball Lmax noise levels will be as high as 62.9, 64.9, 67.6, and 38.2 dBA at the same locations.

Noise control was evaluated to reduce the noise level at the nearby residences. With a 12 -ft high acoustic blanket noise barrier along the north, east, and south sides of the courts, the Leq from the six court pickleball activity would be reduced to 45.1, 46.8, 49.3, and 23.9 dBA at NM1 through NM4, respectively. For the four court variation, the 12 -ft high noise barrier would reduce the pickleball activity to 43.4, 44.6, 47.3, and 21.8 dBA.

In addition to the noise barrier, quiet Hush paddles were evaluated to further reduce pickleball noise. With the use of the Hush Paddle and 12 -ft high acoustic blanket noise barrier, the six court noise level would be reduced to 41.4, 43.1, 45.5, and 19.2 dBA at NM1 through NM4, respectively. With the use of the Hush Paddle and 12 -ft high acoustic blanket noise barrier, the four court noise level would be reduced to 39.7, 40.8, 43.5, and

17.2 dBA at NM1 through NM4, respectively. The Hush Paddles assist in reducing pickleball impact noise between 800 and 2,000 Hertz and can help in reducing the "annoyance" of pickleball play.

With all forms of noise control, the impulsive character of the noise could remain audible and may still be a source of annoyance to sensitive individuals, especially when the ambient background noise level is lower during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

This report has been organized into multiple sections for ease of reference. Section 1 introduces the Project and provides a general discussion on Project Components. Section 2 discusses Noise Fundamentals. Section 3 presents the Indian Wells Noise Standards.

Section 4 discusses the Ambient and Pickleball Noise Survey, Section 5 discusses the Noise Analysis and Impact Assessment. Section 6 presents the Noise Control Analysis, including Recommendations. Section 7 discusses general pickleball noise and Section 8 discusses the Conclusion.

INTRODUCTION
Acoustics Group, Inc., (AGI) was retained by the City of Indian Wells to evaluate pickleball noise for the proposed Pickleball Facility at the Indian Wells Country Club. The club is proposing the addition of either six (6) or four (4) pickleball courts and the City seeks to quantify the noise from proposed pickleball play and evaluate noise control if determined to be necessary. Figure 1 shows the location of the future pickleball courts with respect to the country club, surrounding residential homes and adjacent hillside areas. Figures 2 and 3 shows the six (6) and four (4) pickleball court layouts, respectively.

NOISE FUNDAMENTALS
Noise is most often defined as unwanted sound. Although sound can be easily measured, the perceptibility is subjective and the physical response to sound complicates the analysis of its impact on people. People judge the relative magnitude of sound sensation in subjective terms such as "noisiness" or "loudness." Sound pressure magnitude is measured and quantified using a logarithmic ratio of pressures, the scale of which gives the level of sound in decibels (dB).

The human hearing system is not equally sensitive to sound at all frequencies. Therefore, to approximate this human, frequency -dependent response, the A -weighting filter system is used to adjust measured sound levels. The A -weighted sound level is expressed in "dBA" or "dB(A)". Figure 4 provides typical A -weighted sound levels measured for various sources, as well as people's responses to these levels.

When sound is measured for distinct time intervals, the statistical distribution of the overall sound level can be obtained during that period. The energy -equivalent sound level (Leq) is the most common parameter associated with such measurements. The Leq metric is a single -number noise descriptor which represents the average sound level over a given period of time, where the actual sound level varies with time. Lmax, Lmin, and Lxx are also common noise descriptors. Lmax and Lmin are the maximum and minimum noise levels, respectively, and Lxx, known as a statistical sound level, is the time -varying noise level which would be exceeded xx percent of the time. For example, L50 is the average noise level that is exceeded 50% of the measurement duration or for 30 -minutes in a 60 - minute period.

NOISE STANDARDS
The City of Indian Wells Noise Ordinance Section 9.06.040 specifies exterior noise standards for residential uses. The City sets a cumulative Leq daytime and nighttime noise standard of 55 and 50 dBA, respectively. Additionally, there are increased noise level allowances for shorter cumulative time periods with a daytime and nighttime Lmax of 75 and 70 dBA, respectively. Additionally, if the ambient noise level exceeds the noise levels permitted by the 30 and 15 minutes per hour categories the allowed noise limit shall be increased in five (5) dBA increments in each category to encompass the ambient noise level. If the ambient noise level exceeds the daytime and nighttime Lmax of 75 and 70 dBA, respectively, the maximum ambient noise level shall be the noise limit. Table 1 summarizes the City of Indian Wells Noise Standards. Refer to Appendix B for the City of Indian Wells Noise Standards.

AMBIENT AND PICKLEBALL NOISE SURVEY
Methodology
Four (4) Bruel & Kj r Model 2270 Acoustical Analyzers were used to conduct the noise survey measurements. The analyzers are precision Type 1 instruments that were calibrated to laboratory standards. The instrument systems were field calibrated before and after the measurements to ensure accuracy and were operated per manufacturer's recommendations.

Ambient Noise Survey
AGI conducted a noise survey on February 19 through 20, 2025, to document baseline ambient noise levels. Four long-term 24 -hour noise measurements were conducted adjacent to the nearest noise sensitive receptors to the north (NM1), east (NM2), MARCH 13, 2024
