INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
November 6, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, City Finance Director
Subject: Resolution Approving the Annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 2026-27
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Successor Agency ADOPTS Resolution approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(e) (3) of the guidelines.
BACKGROUND:
The Successor Agency is mandated to prepare the "Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule" (ROPS), which enumerates the Agency's outstanding obligations for the upcoming year. After the completion of the ROPS, it is submitted to the Riverside County Oversight Board (Oversight Board) for their approval. Following the Oversight Board's approval, the ROPS undergoes a comprehensive inspection and final review by the State Department of Finance. It is essential to note that the State Department of Finance necessitates the submission of the annual ROPS for the reporting year no later than February 1.
In accordance with Assembly Bill No. 1X 26 and the California Supreme Court's ruling in the Matosantos case, which challenged the constitutionality of AB 26, all redevelopment agencies in the state were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. This dissolution included the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Indian Wells (the "Redevelopment Agency").
Subsequently, successor agencies were designated to oversee the gradual conclusion of the former redevelopment agencies' operations.
The legislation stipulated that upon the dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another local government entity would step forward to serve as the "successor agency." Their role is to safeguard the assets of the dissolved agency until they are appropriately distributed to various state and local government units. On January 12,
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
2012, the City Council decided to assume the role of the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency, as specified in City Resolution Number 2012-03. AB 26 provides that a successor agency is to be designated as the successor entity to the former Redevelopment Agency, vested with all authority, rights, powers, duties, and obligations previously awarded to the former Agency under the Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code, § 33000 et seq.), with certain exceptions. This successor agency is responsible for the wind-down of the Agency's affairs. The City elected to be the Agency's successor agency by Resolution Bill No. 2012-03 on January 12, 2012.
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”)
The staff of the Successor Agency has prepared the proposed Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period spanning from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 (referred to as "ROPS FY 2026-27"), in a format substantially mirroring the presentation found in Attachment "1," which is appended herewith and incorporated by reference.
The Successor Agency is authorized to receive an administrative cost allowance, denoted as the "Administrative Cost Allowance," in accordance with the provisions of Health and Safety Code Sections 34171(b) and 34183(a)(3) found in Attachment "2". For the 2026- 27 fiscal year, this allowance is anticipated to be approximately $250,000, with disbursements of approximately $250,000 scheduled for July 1, 2026, and approximately $0 for January 2, 2027.
The activities of the City, acting as the successor agency, are subject to oversight by an Oversight Board until all the Agency's outstanding debts are settled, all Agency assets are liquidated, and all property taxes formerly remitted to the Agency are redirected to local taxing agencies.
Following approval by the Oversight Board, the Successor Agency submits the ROPS to the State Department of Finance for approval and disbursement. It is imperative to note that the State Department of Finance mandates the submission of the new annual ROPS before the commencement of the reporting year, no later than February 1.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the City. Consistent with State Law, funding requests are submitted to the Riverside County Oversight Board. The Successor Agency requests $9,802,250 during the upcoming ROPS cycle as follows:
1. Debt service payments of $5,802,520
2. Loan repayments of $3,750,000 paid to the City (General Fund)
3. Successor Agency Administrative Costs of $250,000
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Administrative Fees
During the next ROPS cycle, the City (General Fund) will collect $250,000 to administer the Successor Agency. Administrative fees include administrative oversight, legal review and compliance, successor agency audits, bond and trustee costs, arbitrage and continuing disclosure, technology services, and office supplies.
Outstanding Agency Debt
As of June 30, 2025, the Agency's debt was $60.4 million, as described below. The debt service listed below matures in different years and is scheduled to be repaid entirely by 2035.
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 Balance at Balance at

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
November 6, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, Finance Director
Subject: Annual Developer Impact Fee Report Fiscal Year 2024-25
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council APPROVES the Annual Developer Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-25 as submitted; and
FINDS the project to action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2).
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66000 et seq., cities are required to prepare and present an annual accounting of developer impact fees collected, allocated, and expended. This report fulfills that statutory requirement and demonstrates the City’s continued commitment to fiscal transparency and responsible growth management.
The Annual Developer Impact Fee Report provides a detailed summary of revenues, expenditures, and fund balances for each impact fee category. It ensures full compliance with State disclosure requirements by accounting for all transactions within 180 days of fiscal year-end. The report further demonstrates the City’s ongoing commitment to sound financial stewardship, transparent governance, and equitable infrastructure investment.
Developer impact fees serve as a critical mechanism for aligning new development with community infrastructure needs. The funds support capital improvements, community amenities, and public facilities that preserve and enhance the quality of life in Indian Wells.
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Key Highlights:
Transparency and Accountability: Demonstrates full compliance with State reporting requirements and reinforces public confidence in the City’s fiscal management.
Infrastructure Investment: Ensures that new development contributes its equitable share toward the cost of public facilities and improvements that serve the broader community.
Fiscal Stewardship: Reflects prudent financial planning, strategic use of resources, and appropriate reimbursement of interfund advances to maintain proje ct momentum.
Sustainable Growth: Supports infrastructure and public amenity projects that sustain the City’s exceptional service levels and community character as growth continues.
Detailed schedules of revenues, expenditures, and fund balances are provided in the attached report, including those subject to the five -year expenditure limitation under State law.
FISCAL IMPACT:
During Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City collected a total of $351,121 in developer impact fees.
These funds were allocated to capital improvement and infrastructure projects consistent with the purpose for which they were collected. In certain instances, impact fee revenues reimbursed prior advances from other City funds to expedite public improvements.
Summary of Developer Impact Fee Programs:
Park Facilities Fees
Collected: $1,434 Expended: $1,434
Funds supported parkland development and recreational facility enhancements at the Indian Wells Golf Resort. Participants are no longer required to traverse the Whitewater channel or circumnavigate the Renaissance hotel. Now all the holes are aligned.
Improved hole alignment is expected to facilitate a new walkers program, thereby augmenting our annual rounds. Developing a walker’s program, Resort Staff expects to see an increase in rounds, particularly during early mornings and late afternoons in the shoulder seasons. This enhanced capacity broadens player access and positively impacts our financial performance.
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
This program is expected to last several years, based on the completion of the Player’s golf course and the expected rehabilitation of the Celebrity golf course.
Transportation Facilities Fees
Collected: $41,783 Expended: $39,832
Fees funded the Warner Trail Right-Turn Lane Expansion Project, improving traffic flow during school peak hours and large-scale events such as the BNP Paribas Open. This multi- year program continues to support ongoing traffic management and safety improvements.
Recreation Facilities Fees
Collected: $31,861 Expended: $27,905
The facility improvements were designed not only to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability but also to improve comfort and expand public use throughout the year. The installation of solar panel structures provided dual benefits — generating renewable energy to reduce operating costs while simultaneously creating shaded areas that enhance guest comfort during warm summer months.
These solar structures have become an integral part of the recreation facilities’ design and operation. At the recreation complex, the shaded areas have attracted additional guests during the warmer months and have evolved into natural gathering spaces for residents, supporting daytime programming and community events that were previously limited by high temperatures. At the golf driving range, the shade structures have extended playability and guest activity into late afternoon and evening hours, creating opportunities for nighttime entertainment, lessons, and special events.
The solar components directly support increased public use while maintaining the City’s long-term sustainability goals. By integrating renewable energy systems with functional facility enhancements, the City has reduced its carbon footprint, lowered operating costs, and created more inviting, versatile spaces that attract both residents and visitors. As a result, the improvements have contributed to measurable growth in facility utilization, including increased operational hours, rounds, covers, and overall guest participation.
Park-In-Lieu Fees
Collected: $185,720 Expended: $420,183
Funds contributed to the completion of Fairway Park in partnership with the Desert Recreation District, improving neighborhood connectivity and recreation access. Phase II will introduce new shade structures to expand usability.
Citywide Public Improvement Fees
Collected: $16,505 Expended: $15,851
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Fees supported new directional and wayfinding signage throughout the City, improving traffic circulation and visitor navigation. This is part of an ongoing multi-year improvement plan.
Art in Public Places Fees
Collected: $77,818 Expended: $131,881
The public art at the Indian Wells Golf Resort (IWGR) serves as a defining feature of the property, elevating it beyond a recreation venue into a destination that reflects the City’s cultural values and aesthetic identity. The collection — prominently displayed throughout the clubhouse — celebrates the beauty of the Coachella Valley and the City’s commitment to art, nature, and community.
Inside the clubhouse, guests are greeted by large-scale sculptural pieces inspired by the surrounding mountains, palms, and native flora. These works are complemented by metal and glass installations that capture the region’s sunlight, creating dynamic reflections and a sense of movement throughout the day. Together, the art and architecture create a warm, elegant setting that honors both the natural environment and the refined experience for which IWGR is known.
The City Council has formally integrated Public Art at IWGR into its new strategic plan and goals for the coming year. By highlighting these installations as part of the City’s broader vision, the Council has reinforced the role of art in fostering community engagement, enhancing public spaces, and promoting cultural identity.
Since the installation of these artworks, the City has observed measurable outcomes, including increased clubhouse visitation, higher attendance at public events, and greater participation in city events. Residents and visitors are now spending more time in the clubhouse and adjacent spaces, engaging with the art, and attending cultural and social events.
By integrating public art into the resort’s design and strategic initiatives, the City has transformed the clubhouse into a civic showcase — a space that encourages residents and visitors to engage in art in a relaxed, social environment. The program enhances aesthetic appeal, fosters community pride, supports measurable growth in public participation, and underscores Indian Wells’ long-standing commitment to cultural enrichment and quality public spaces.
Storm Drain Facilities Fees
Collected: $0 Expended: $0
No revenue was collected during Fiscal Year 2024-25.

November 6, 2025
To: City Council
From: Community Development Department
Prepared by: Jon Berg, Community Development Director
Subject: Resolution Approving a Variance for Encroachment into the Side Yard Setback to Construct New Building Additions to an Existing Residence Located at 74589 Palo Verde Drive (APN:
625-461-031)
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council ADOPTS Resolution to approve Variance No. 2025-0002, to allow a 3-foot encroachment into the side yard setback to construct new additions to an existing residence located at 74589 Palo Verde Drive (APN: 625-461-031); and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines § 15301(e), Existing Facilities, and none of the exceptions in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the project.
BACKGROUND:
The Applicant, Zayda Braun (Architect), on behalf of the Browar family, property owners, has submitted a request for a variance to allow the construction of relatively small building additions that would encroach into the required 8-foot interior side yard setback of an existing residence within the Vintage Country Club, located at 74589 Palo Verde Drive (Attachment 2). The Applicant has requested a variance due to the property’s irregular shape and lot dimensions, which results in the need to encroach 3-feet into the side yard setback to accommodate approximately 57 square feet of their proposed 423 square foot addition to their single-family home (Attachment 3).
On October 30, 2025, at a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution PC 2025-08 (Attachment 8), recommending that the City Council approve Variance 2025-02. Per the Indian Wells Municipal Code (“IWMC”) Section 21.06.050, upon the Planning Commission’s formal recommendation, the City Council shall consider Variance requests within residential zones via the Consent Calendar. If no Council member or member of the public requests that the item be removed from the Consent Calendar, the City Council may approve the item by consent.
If a Council member or member of the public requests that an item be pulled for
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
discussion, a duly noticed public hearing must be scheduled for the next regular City Council meeting.
ANALYSIS:
The request is made pursuant to IWMC Section 21.06.050(d), Variances, which requires specific findings to approve any deviation from codified zoning standards. The requirements stated within the IWMC Section 21.06.050(d) are as follows:
1. The strict application of this Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification because of unusual circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings.
Finding: The project site is located within the Vintage Club Residential Development, on a lot zoned Residential Very Low Density (“RVLD”) that requires 8-foot interior side yard setbacks within a 12,000 sqft minimum lot size (100’ min x 100’ min baseline lot dimensions). The subject lot was created in 1983 through Tract Map 14968-7 (Attachment 4), prior to the current RVLD zoning standards established by City Council Ordinance 387. Considering the existing residential home was constructed prior to adoption of the current RVLD standards, p ortions of the home are currently encroaching the 8-foot side yard setback, rendering the structure “legal non-conforming” as to setback under IWMC Chapter 21.90 (Attachment 5). Pursuant to IWMC Section 21.90.030(c), any additions or alterations to existing legal non-conforming buildings must comply with the current regulations; therefore, the home can be maintained as it currently exists but cannot expand further into the setback based exclusively on its non-conforming status. Consequently, the proposed additions require a variance to facilitate approximately 57 square feet of the proposed 423 square foot addition.
The existing lot was subdivided with substandard lot dimensions measuring 92.3’ in width at the rear property line and tapering to 64.5’ in width towards the front property line. In addition, the lot is irregularly shaped, with jogging east and west side lot lines, an angled 92.3-foot property rear lot line to the south, and a curvilinear front property line to the north (Attachment 3). The applicant’s stated intent is to create a functional, safe, and architecturally consistent space that respects the home’s original design (Attachment 6). Adding to the side of the home, in full compliance with the 8-foot side yard setback, would result in awkward jogs and inefficient, unusable interior spaces in the existing house. Such changes would also deviate from the existing architectural style, which currently features clean rectilinear lines and 90-degree angles.
Given the parcel-specific constraints presented and the existing conditions that deprive the property of the privileges enjoyed by other properties under the RVLD
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
zoning classification, allowing the requested encroachment is a reasonable solution to accommodate the modest additions while maintaining architectural consistency.
2. The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Finding: The RVLD development standards have allowed residential development to remain compliant with the standard 20-foot front, 8-foot interior side, and 10- foot rear yard setbacks throughout the Vintage Club. The established setbacks reduce building intensity and maintain public safety personnel's access around the structure.
The proposed building additions will encroach 3 feet into the interior side yard setback and occupy approximately 57 total square feet area within the standard setback area. The new additions will comply with the 12-foot max height regulation at the modified 5-foot setback and will maintain the minimum 36-inch width requirement for emergency access. The building footprint will not encroach into the front or rear yard setbacks, thereby maintaining appropriate emergency access around the entire structure. Considering that the structure will maintain a minimum 5’ side yard setback and the absence of any front or rear yard setback encroachment, the proposed additions will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, nor will they be materially injurious to properties or improvements within the immediate vicinity.
3. The granting of the Variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and the same zoning classification.
Finding: The variance request is attributed to the property’s documented irregular shape and substandard lot dimensions and would facilitate only a small, clearly defined encroachment necessary to achieve a functional plan within the RVLD zone. Historically, the City of Indian Wells has granted variances for similar side yard encroachments due to unique property constraints that meet the required findings.
Other examples of variances that have been granted with similar conditions are listed below:
Variance No. 2005-05: Reduced interior side yard setback of 5 feet for garage extension.
Variance No. 2005-08: Permitted an encroachment of 6 feet into the 11- foot side yard setback, resulting in a room addition to be located 5 feet from the side property line.
Variance No. 2005-10: Permitted an encroachment of 6 feet into the 11- foot side yard setback for a room addition
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Variance No. 2006-01: Permitted an encroachment of 3 feet into the 8-foot side yard setback for a garage addition.
In sum, historical examples of other residential properties granted formal variance approvals based on similar lot constraints support the determination that this variance request is not a special privilege but a reasonable and consistent response to similar site constraints within the same zoning district.
4. The granting of the Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property.
Finding: Approval of this variance does not authorize any use or activity that is not permitted in the RVLD zone. The property will remain a single-family residence with accessory features, and the proposed additions to the existing home will not change the property’s use.
Additionally, the Applicant has provided a letter of written approval from the Vintage Club HOA’s Architectural and Landscape Committee demonstrating local support for the 3-foot encroachment into the side yard setback (Attachment 7).
Any future improvements would require separate review by the Architectural and Landscape Committee of the Vintage Club and the City’s Building and Planning Departments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
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 the Lead Agency, has determined that the construction of the proposed building additions at this location qualifies as being categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301(e), Existing Facilities, and that none of the exceptions in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the project.

WHEREAS, Zayda Braun (the “Applicant”) has completed an application with the City of Indian Wells for Variance No. 2025-0002 pursuant to Zoning Code Section 21.06.050 to allow a three (3) foot encroachment into the interior side yard setback of an existing residential site located at 74589 Palo Verde Drive, Indian Wells, California, to construct various small additions which requires granting of a variance from the required 8-foot interior side yard setback identified in Zoning Code Section 21.23.050(a) (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the notice of a public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Indian Wells to consider the Applicant’s request was given in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on October 30, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the Project in conformance with California Government Code and various Indian Wells Municipal Code sections and adopted Resolution No. PC 2025-08 recommending City Council approve the Project; and
WHEREAS, on November 6, 2025, the City Council approved the Project on the consent calendar as required under Indian Wells Municipal Code Section 21.06.050; and WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the staff report, public testimony, and all of the information presented at the hearing, the City Council finds the following:
1.The strict application of this Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification because of unusual circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings.
FACT: The existing lot was subdivided with substandard dimensions measuring 92.3’ in width at the rear property line and tapering to 64.5’ in width towards the property’s front property line. In addition, the lot is irregularly shaped, with jogging east and west side lot lines, an angled 92.3-foot property rear lot line to the south, and a curvilinear front property line to the north. Due to these irregular lot dimensions, the strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under the identical zoning classification.
2.The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
FACT: The proposed building additions will encroach three (3) feet into the required 8- foot interior side yard setback and occupy approximately 57 total square feet of area within the standard building setback area. The building footprint will not encroach into the front or rear yard setbacks, thereby maintaining appropriate emergency access around

the entire structure. Construction must comply with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, which establishes minimum standards for building design and construction to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare. This includes requirements for fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. Therefore, construction of the proposed building additions will not restrict emergency access into or around the site and is not considered detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements within the immediate vicinity.
3. The granting of the Variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and same zoning classification.
FACT: Similar encroachments into the side yard setback for residential building additions have been previously reviewed and approved by the City for the following:
• Variance No. 2005-05: Reduced interior side yard setback of five (5) feet for garage extension.
• Variance No. 2005-08: Permitted an encroachment of six (6) feet into the 11-foot side yard setback, resulting in a room addition located five (5) feet from the side property line.
• Variance No. 2005-10: Permitted an encroachment of six (6) feet into the 11-foot side yard setback for a room addition.
• Variance No. 2006-01: Permitted an encroachment of three (3) feet into the 8-foot side yard setback for a garage addition.
These prior approvals support the conclusion that Variance No. 2025-0002 is not a special privilege but instead represents a reasonable and consistent response to properties with similar site constraints within the same zoning classification.
4. The granting of the Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property.
FACT: The new additions to an existing single-family home are permitted use under IWMC Section 21.23.030. The granting of the Variance would not authorize a use that is not otherwise expressly authorized by the Zoning regulations governing the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIAN WELLS RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The recitals above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. The City Council ADOPTS the Resolution approving Variance No. 2025-0002 concerning the proposed Project, subject to the conditions listed on Exhibit “A” and site plan shown in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
SECTION 3. This action has been assessed under 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 the Lead Agency, has determined that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section

44-950 Eldorado Drive
Indian Wells, CA 92290
Justification Letter
RE: Variance Request for Browar Residence
74589 Palo Verde Dr
Indian Wells, CA 92290
Permit BRES-2025-0438
September 18, 2025
Planning Commission Staff,
We respectfully submit this letter in support of our variance request for the Browar residence at 74589 Palo Verde Dr., Indian Wells. The unforeseen circumstances prompting this request stem primarily from the lack of prior notification regarding changes t o the side yard setback requirements. This property was developed and built in the year 1983. The original building envelope was built on a 5 foot setback, consistent with the zoning code in place at the time the home was built and originally approved. Only during our planning process, and building submittal, were we informed that the current ordinance now requires an 8 -foot setback, which has resulted in unanticipated conflicts with both the existing structure and our proposed additions.
This change presents several concrete challenges. First, portions of the existing residence, shown in Exhibit A-1.10, now fall out of compliance under the new code —despite being fully compliant when constructed. Second, to conform to the 8 -foot setback, our additions would require diagonal walls and awkward jogs in the building’s footprint, disrupting the modern, linear architectural style and creating unusable interior spaces. These complications make it impractical to design functional additions that respect the home’s original architectural integrity.
The proposed additions fully comply with all relevant California Building Code requirements. As summarized in Exhibits A-1.10 and A-1.20, the project maintains the required 10-foot fire separation for Type VB construction and ensures that all emergency egress paths exceed the minimum 36-inch width requirement. Specifically, Exhibit A-1.20 demonstrates that egress widths are ample throughout the site, further confirming that life safety standards are met.
ATTACHMENT 6
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Our proposal preserves the architectural integrity of the existing residence, maintains compliance with all building and safety codes, and avoids any special privileges. The proposed additions and alterations will not constitute a change in the current zoning of the property nor do we wish to do so.
The amount of additional area that will encroach, 13 percent of additional square footage or 1 percent of total living space, into the current setbacks set by the current zoning code is really small compared to the whole. We seek only the opportunity to create a functional, safe, and architecturally consistent space for the Browar family.
In summary, the variance is necessary due to the unforeseen impact of updated setback regulations and the resulting design constraints. The proposed additions do not compromise public safety, health, or welfare, nor do they confer special privileges or authorize any prohibited uses. We respectfully request approval of this variance so the residence can be improved without sacrificing its architectural character or code compliance.
Sincerely
Emmanuel Santos

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
INDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
VARIANCE NO. 2025-0002, TO ALLOW ENCROACHMENT INTO THE
INTERIOR SIDE YARD SETBACK TO CONSTRUCT NEW BUILDING
ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 74589
PALO VERDE DRIVE (APN: 625-461-031), FOR WHICH THE
PROJECT HAS BEEN FOUND EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF
CEQA
WHEREAS, Zayda Braun (the “Applicant”) has completed an application with the City of Indian Wells for Variance No. 2025-0002 pursuant to Zoning Code Section 21.06.050 to allow a three (3) foot encroachment into the interior side yard setback of an existing residential site located at 74589 Palo Verde Drive, Indian Wells, California, to construct various small additions which requires granting of a variance from the required 8-foot interior side yard setback identified in Zoning Code Section 21.23.050(a) (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the notice of a public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Indian Wells to consider the Applicant’s request was given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on October 30, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the Project in conformance with California Government Code and various Indian Wells Municipal Code sections and adopted Resolution No. PC 2025-08 recommending that the City Council approve the Project; and WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the staff report, public testimony, and all of the information presented at the hearing, the Planning Commission finds the following:
1.The strict application of this Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification because of unusual circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings.
FACT: The existing lot was subdivided with substandard dimensions measuring
92.3’ in width at the rear property line and tapering to 64.5’ in width towards the property’s front property line. In addition, the lot is irregularly shaped, with jogging east and west side lot lines, an angled 92.3-foot property rear lot line to the south, and a curvilinear front property line to the north. Due to these irregular lot dimensions, the strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under the identical zoning classification.
2.The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

City of Indian Wells
Resolution No. PC 2025- 08
FACT: The proposed building additions will encroach three (3) feet into the required 8-foot interior side yard setback and occupy approximately 57 total square feet of area within the standard building setback area. The building footprint will not encroach into the front or rear yard setbacks, thereby maintaining appropriate emergency access around the entire structure. Construction must comply with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, which establishes minimum standards for building design and construction to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare. This includes requirements for fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. Therefore, construction of the proposed building additions will not restrict emergency access into or around the site and is not considered detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements within the immediate vicinity.
3.The granting of the Variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and same zoning classification.
FACT: Similar encroachments into the side yard setback for residential building additions have been previously reviewed and approved by the City for the following:
•Variance No. 2005-05: Reduced interior side yard setback of five (5) feet for garage extension.
•Variance No. 2005-08: Permitted an encroachment of six (6) feet into the 11-foot side yard setback, resulting in a room addition located five (5) feet from the side property line.
•Variance No. 2005-10: Permitted an encroachment of six (6) feet into the 11-foot side yard setback for a room addition.
•Variance No. 2006-01: Permitted an encroachment of three (3) feet into the 8-foot side yard setback for a garage addition.
These prior approvals support the conclusion that Variance No. 2025-0002 is not a special privilege but instead represents a reasonable and consistent response to properties with similar site constraints within the same zoning classification.
4.The granting of the Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property.
FACT: The new additions to an existing single-family home are a permitted use under IWMC Section 21.23.030. The granting of the Variance would not authorize a use that is not otherwise expressly authorized by the Zoning regulations governing the property.

BACKGROUND:
The Treasurer's Report provides a monthly update on cash activity and the investment portfolio, ensuring reconciliation with the General Ledger.

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 this resolution 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 15 378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
November 6, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Amy Dallosta, Accountant
Subject: City Treasurer’s Report for September 2025
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
DISCUSSION:
This report comprehensively analyzes the City of Indian Wells' cash and investment position as of September 30, 2025. The city maintains a robust investment strategy, focusing on prudence, liquidity, and compliance with legal requirements. The Treasurer's certification ensures adherence to the city's investment policy and compliance with the State of California Government Code section 53600.

Portfolio rate of return: 3.564%
Treasurer's Certification:
The City Treasurer certifies:
Compliance with the city's investment policy and legal requirements. Adequate liquidity to meet financial obligations for the next six months, ensuring static and dynamic liquidity.
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
Fiscal Prudence:
Aligned with the fiduciary duty, the city adheres to a prudent investment approach, considering economic conditions and anticipated needs. Investments are guided by a written policy emphasizing safety, liquidity, and yield.
BACKGROUND:
The Treasurer's Report provides a monthly update on cash activity and the investment portfolio, ensuring reconciliation with the General Ledger. Investments align with the city's investment policy and State legislation, covering U.S. treasuries, federal agency securities, corporate notes, municipal bonds, CDs, and overnight cash investments.
Investment Strategy:
The city's investment portfolio is designed to achieve a market rate of return within risk constraints. Diversification across institutions, security types, and maturities maximizes safety and yield amid changing market conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The investment portfolio generated $208,852.33 in earnings for September 2025. The investment strategy aims for consistent returns throughout budgetary and economic cycles, reflecting prudent risk management. Moreover, the strategy's success in consistently generating returns reflects its adaptability to changing market conditions. As economic cycles fluctuate, the city's investment approach remains resilient, adjusting to dynamic financial landscapes to optimize safety and yield.
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 this resolution 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.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
November 6, 2025
To: City Council
From: Community Development Department
Prepared by: Wes Remaklus, Building Official
Subject: Ordinance Adopting by Reference the 2025 California Building Standards Codes and Other Uniform Codes with
Local Amendments
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council OPENS a public hearing, takes any public testimony, CLOSES the public hearing; and
ADOPTS Ordinance repealing and recasting Title 16 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code; adopting by reference the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24) and related uniform codes; and
FINDS the action to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3).
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance repeals and recasts Title 16 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code to adopt the 2025 California Building Standards Code and related uniform codes, together with local amendments necessary to address unique climatic, geological, and topographical conditions in Indian Wells. Adoption ensures that the City remains consistent with state law, aligns its fire code provisions with Riverside County Fire, and maintains the ability to enforce building and fire safety standards locally.
Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission updates the California Building Codes to reflect the latest in building and fire safety standards. In July 2025, the Commission published the 2025 California Building Standards Code, which will take effect on January 1, 2026. While the 2025 Code becomes effective statewide regardless of local action, state law allows cities to adopt the codes by reference and make local amendments as needed. Specifically, the City may establish more restrictive standards than those contained in the Code, provided the amendments are supported by express findings showing they are “reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.” (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 18941.5, 17958.7.) and in accordance with AB 130. In accordance with these statutes, the local amendment findings contained

in Exhibit A demonstrate that the City’s modifications are necessary and appropriate for Indian Wells.
The City is served by Riverside County for fire services. The City has consulted with the County, and Indian Wells Municipal Code Chapter 16.32 (Fire Code) includes provisions to ensure consistency between City and County fire prevention requirements.
This proposed ordinance will repeal and recast Title 16 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code and adopt by reference the 2025 California Building Standards Code, the 2025 Fire Code, and other uniform codes.
The amendments to the Building Code, contained in Title 16 of the Municipal Code, have been prepared by the City’s Building Official. The justifications, findings, and explanations for the changes to the Building Code and other uniform codes are listed in Exhibit “A” to Ordinance (Attachment 1). The amendments to the Fire Code, contained in Chapter 16.32 of the Municipal Code, have been prepared by the Office of the Fire Marshal, CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department. The findings and explanations for the changes to the Fire Code are also listed in Exhibit “A” to Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Other than staff time and contract legal and building division labor costs, there are no direct costs associated with the adoption of this Ordinance.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This action 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 action is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly; and 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 Section 15061(b)(3).

Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
City of Indian Wells
Ordinance No. 766
Exhibit A
Findings to Support Amendments to the
2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code
To the extent that changes and modifications to the 2025 California Building Standards Code in this ordinance are deemed more restrictive than the standards contained in the 2025 California Building Standards Code thus requiring that findings be made pertaining to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions to justify such modifications, the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows:
Extreme surface temperatures common in the lower desert areas, one hundred sixty (160) degrees Fahrenheit plus, deteriorates and dries out buildings’ materials and our high winds create extreme fire conditions which are detrimental to the general public.
A. The City of Indian Wells may establish more restrictive standards reasonably necessary to provide fire protection for life and property because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
I. Climatic Conditions:
Riverside County and the City of Indian Wells have an arid climate with annual rainfall varying from three (3) inches in Blythe to over thirty-three (33) inches in Pine Cove. The County also experiences annual hot, dry Santa Ana Winds, which contribute to fires spreading quickly throughout the County.
II. Topographical conditions
A variety of regions exist within Riverside County including deserts, mountains, brush covered wild lands, the Salton Sea and agricultural lands. Additionally, elevations within Riverside County range from three hundred (300) feet below sea level to mountains over ten thousand (10,000) feet. This variety of regions contributes to an increased emergency response time, which necessitates cooperation between local agencies.
Riverside County contains a large number of sensitive habitats for various species and vegetation, consists of large open space areas between major urban centers and includes landscapes varying from mountains and hills to valleys and deserts. These conditions impact building and structure location, which impedes emergency access and response.
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
City of Indian Wells
Ordinance No. 766
Riverside County extends from Orange County to the State of Arizona and is mixed with congested urban areas, rural lands and wild lands, which increase Riverside County Fire Department response times to emergencies.
The topography within Riverside County extends from flat to twenty-five (25) percent slope for habitable land, which causes buildings and structures to be located in unique areas that impact emergency response and access.
III. Geological Conditions
Two major earthquake faults, the San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto Fault, bisect Riverside County and numerous minor faults exist throughout it. As a result, a substantial amount of property and persons located in Riverside County and the City of Indian Wells are likely to be impacted by earthquakes and will require emergency response and rescue.
In addition to earthquakes, a substantial amount of property and persons located in Riverside County and the City of Indian Wells are likely to be impacted by landslides, wind erosion, blown sand, flooding and wildfires because of the County’s unique climatic, geological and topographical conditions.
B. The additional requirements included herein are necessary to properly protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents and workers of Riverside County and the City of Indian Wells.
C. Revenue shortages make it difficult to locate additional fire stations and provide staffing sufficient to control fires in single and multi-story retail, commercial and industrial buildings, making enhanced built-in protection necessary.
D. The sections of the California Fire Code may be referred to by the same number used in said published compilation preceded by the words “the City of Indian Wells Fire Code Section” or “Fire Code Section.” E. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 require that the modification or change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers. The following table sets forth the 2025 California Fire Code sections that have been modified, and the associated local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions described above supporting the modification.

F. Local Amendment Justification/Statement of Reason: All local amendments, additions, and modifications previously adopted under City of Indian Wells Ordinance No. 747 that are not specifically identified or addressed in this Statement of Reasons are hereby carried forward in full. These provisions remain necessary to maintain consistency with the City’s established local
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025

conditions, ensure continuity of enforcement practices, and preserve the legislative intent of prior adoptions.
G. Below are explanatory comments for certain local amendments.
CHAPTER 16.32 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
Section 101.4: This section is carried over from the City of Indian Wells Ordinance No. 747. This section resolves any conflict with the fire code provisions.
Section 102.5: This section is carried over from the existing Ordinance No. 747. The scope and application of the fire code needs to be expanded to apply to the fire sprinkler systems for accessory structures constructed under the 2025 California Residential Code (CRC) which are permitted to exceed 3,600 square feet in area. This existing modification maintains the applicability of the 2025 California Fire Code (CFC) Section 903.2 amendment to those accessory structures greater than or equal to 3,600 square feet in area.
Section 102.13.1: New section added to Section 102.13 to clarify that when a conflict exists between the provisions of the Riverside County Fire Code and the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, the more restrictive provisions shall apply. This change is related to administrative practices and exclusively result in the alteration of local programs related to enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.
Section 103.1: New amendment of the base code text for establishing the Indian Wells Office of the Fire Marshal (Riverside County Fire Department) and identifying the “fire code official” as the official in charge of implementing, administering and enforcing the provisions of this code. This change is related to administrative practices and exclusively result in the alteration of local programs related to enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.
Section 104.1.1: This section is carried over from the existing Ordinance No. 747. It is imperative that enforcement capability be disseminated to other law enforcement entities within the Indian Wells area because of its vast topography and diversity. This gives the Riverside County Fire Department greater enforcement capabilities due to the presence of these other agencies across the County of Riverside. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 104.2: New amendment to Section 104.2 to clarify that “Guidelines” may be created to render interpretations of the Fire Code and shall be enforceable as part of the code. This change is related to administrative practices and exclusively result in the alteration of local programs related to enforcement of building code violations or complaints alleging building code violations.
Section 104.8 and 104.8.1: This section is carried over from the existing Ordinance No. 747 to
Joint Meeting Agenda- November 6, 2025
City of Indian Wells
Ordinance No. 766
resolve any conflict between state law and the fire code provisions. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 104.12: This section is carried over from the existing Ordinance No. 747 and grants authority to the Fire Chief, in cooperation with the Board of Supervisors, to close hazardous fire areas. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 108.2: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747 and relocated to the fees section of the Fire Code Section 108.2. This amendment is necessary to identify that fees are in accordance with Indian Wells fee schedules. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 108.7: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747 and relocated to the fees section of the fire code. This section is maintained in accordance with Health and Safety Code 13009 and 13009.1, and Government Code 53150, et seq. for cost recovery.

This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 308.1.7: This section is carried over from previous Ordinance No. 747. This section is amended to prohibit sky lanterns and similar devices. The California State Fire Marshal's office issued Information Bulletin 12-005 indicating that there is a serious fire and safety hazard associated with sky lanterns, which include the potential to start an unintended fire on or off the property from which they are released. They are known to travel significant distances from the point of release. The National Association of State Fire Marshals Resolution 2013-3 recommends imposing State level bans on their sale and use. Multiple fires have been reported to be linked to the use of sky lanterns including, but not limited to, a recycling plant fire in Smethwick, England which caused approx. $9 million in damage and a wildfire in Shell Beach on the mountain above Pirates Code in San Luis Obispo County, CA. This is similar to the existing amendment by Orange County Fire Authority. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 503.1.2.1: This is a new section added to be consistent with the operational needs where two points of fire access are required as identified in the Riverside County Fire Department – Commercial Access Guidelines and is consistent with Appendix D of the International Fire Code.

Section 507.5.7: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. This section provides for the size and quantities of outlets for residential standard, super hydrant standard, and super hydrant enhanced fire hydrants and that they shall be required as determined by the Fire Code Official. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 507.5.8: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. The section provides direct references to Riverside County Fire Department Guidelines for specific requirements for the installation of blue reflective markers for fire hydrants. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Sections 508.1, 508.1.1, and 508.1.3: These sections are carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. These sections have been amended to require fire command centers for structures larger than 300,000 square feet in size. To put into context, the Fire Command Center would be triggered when the buildings are approximately 2.5 times the typical Costco Warehouse store and approximately two times the size of a typical Walmart Supercenter. Large structures of this size pose numerous challenges to emergency responders due to the large amounts of fuel loads from the storage, manufacturing and/or processing of flammable/combustible commodities and other processes within the building. Challenges include wide distribution of smoke throughout the structure, difficulty for firefighters to locate and reach the fire and difficulty in search and evacuation of the public, employees and firefighters. These structures typically require numerous fire protection, early suppression and detection systems that may include, but are not limited to, fire pumps, multiple fire sprinkler systems, advanced fire alarm systems, smoke control

systems, and refrigeration gas detection system(s). During a fire, the incident commander must have the ability to readily identify the status of the various suppression and detection systems and have access to other building information details that may include, but are not limited to, building floor plans, high-pile/rack storage details, smoke control/ventilation systems, fire sprinkler zoning details, mechanical refrigeration equipment and piping details, and hazardous materials data sheets along with quantities and storage/use locations. A fire command center provides a centralized location for the incident commander to review details about the building and the incident and to effectively coordinate emergency responders and suppression activities with increased efficiency and speed. The Riverside County Fire Department has experienced several incidents in buildings with and without Fire Command Centers. Incident Commanders found that having detailed information on built in fire protection systems and controls, building schematics and hazardous materials storage plans were vital towards mitigating the event. When this information was not available, firefighting personnel were forced to operate upon assumptions and much less information. In addition, this increased efficiency and speed results in facilities returning to operation more expeditiously after incidents or false alarms thereby reducing loss of revenue for the business. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 509.2.1: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. This section encompasses other exterior fire protection water supply appliances such as Fire Department connections, and other exterior fire protection system control valves, or any other exterior fire protection system component that may require immediate access. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 608.11.1.2: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. This section specifies the location of manual crossover valves when manual operation is required by the Fire Code Official. The amendment specifies that the manual valves shall be located in an approved location immediately outside of the machinery room, in a secure metal box or equivalent and marked as Emergency Controls. This is to ensure that the valves are in readily accessible location(s) for access during an emergency. This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 903.2: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747 with modification.
Modifications have been made to provide certain exemptions including, but not limited to, fueling canopies and agricultural and greenhouse Group U structures constructed in accordance with the California Building Code and specific shade structures. An additional sprinkler requirement has been added to include changes in use to existing structures greater than 3,600 sq. ft., and additions to existing structures where the new square footage is greater than 3,600 sq. ft.

change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
The existing amendment provides a base square footage requirement for all new commercial, industrial, and residential occupancies other than one- and two-family dwellings. Though the amendment includes a reference to the requirement for one- and two-family dwellings, the authority for residential fire sprinkler requirements for these occupancies resides in Title 24, Part
2.5 [2025 California Residential Code].
Automatic sprinkler systems have been successfully used to protect industrial and commercial buildings and their occupants for more than 100 years. Historically the place which has offered the least amount of fire protection to occupants was and still is their own home. This was brought to light in 1973 by the Report of the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control, America Burning. At the time of the report approximately 8,000 people died in structure fires every year in the United States. Nine out of ten of those victims died in their home.
However, the U.S. Fire Administration report “Fire in the United States 2004–2013 17th edition” reflects that nonresidential fire losses are costly. “National estimates of nonresidential building fires and losses, from 2004 to 2013, annually accounted for only 7 percent of fires, 2 percent of deaths, and 8 percent of injuries. These properties, however, accounted for a disproportionately large annual dollar loss, 21 percent. Trends in nonresidential buildings showed a 14 percent decrease in fires, a 9 percent increase in deaths, a 7 percent increase in injuries, and a 10 percent decrease in dollar loss from 2004 to 2013.”
The same report concluded “…that, overall, the fire problem in the U.S. continues to improve.
Ten-year fire loss rates are down. It is likely that several factors continue to contribute to these trends…” which includes "fire sprinklers, which quickly combat incipient fires, especially in nonresidential and multifamily buildings, and fire codes, which have been strengthened.” Furthermore, the report reflects that the nonresidential building category includes industrial and commercial properties, institutions (such as hospitals, nursing homes and prisons), educational establishments (from preschool through university), mobile properties, and storage properties.
On average, about 89 percent of nonresidential structure fires, 88 percent of deaths, 91 percent of injuries, and 92 percent of dollar losses reported to National Fire Incident Reporting System from 2004 to 2013 occurred in nonresidential buildings.
Aside from firefighter and explosion fatalities, there has never been a multiple loss of life in a fully sprinklered building due to fire or smoke. All fire protection features have a reliability factor.
Walls and shafts can be breached by means of poke-throughs and building alterations. Exit doors can be blocked or locked.
The California Residential Code requires that all one- and two-family dwellings be protected by sprinklers. It is still imperative, based on the geographical, topographical, climatic diversity of

Indian Wells, to continue to protect all structures greater than 3,000 sq. ft. by fire sprinklers, to ensure faster fire suppression/control to those occupancies that would not normally be required to be protected which would exhaust a number resources including water which climatically is so precious to our environment as a whole. It will provide for less run-off into ground water due to suppression activities and less pollutants into the environment. It will reduce the risk of a structure fire extending outside of the structure and potentially igniting a wildland fire.
Mobile homes are a part of the American landscape. In 2007 alone, more than 95,000 manufactured homes were shipped nationwide. Manufactured housing also accounts for approximately 10 percent of the single-family structures in the United States. The National Fire Protection Association reports in 2007-2011, 11,400 structure fires per year were reported in manufactured homes, with associated losses of: 206 civilian deaths, 434 civilian injuries, and $179 million in direct damage per year nationally. Despite the fact that we drive by them, respond to medical calls in them, and sometimes live in them, we often overlook mobile homes when it comes to training and pre-fire planning. However, as the deaths of two firefighters in Craigsville, West Virginia, showed, mobile homes can pose significant, and sometimes deadly, challenges.
The burning mobile home is a less-than-stable platform, making search and possible rescue of occupants even more dangerous. The exterior walls are not as structurally sound when compared with those of most site-built homes. The narrow halls complicate search. The roof burns through more quickly than a typical residential roof and is not safe for firefighters. Mobile home fires can quickly grow out of control, because there's not as much wallboard and drywall, and there are fewer walls to keep the fire from spreading. If the first-due engine pulls up and the mobile home is burning from end to end, the firefighting strategy has already been decided. The fire must be knocked down in order to move in. If the home is in a mobile home park, again, protecting exposure is vital. Radiant heat can ignite the homes nearby. Fire sprinklers can prevent flashovers from occurring and in many cases put the fire out and save valuable resources in the process, such as water, personnel, and environmental cleanup, limited displacement into City and County shelter(s), and less inconvenience to the family. The mobile home, because of its construction, requires fast water.
The record for automatic fire sprinklers is based on the simple fact that there has never been a multiple death of building occupants from a fire developing in a building protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system properly installed and maintained in accordance with nationally recognized standards (NFPA 13, 13D, 13R, and NFPA 25).
AWWA Research Foundation has published the following report: Impact of Fire Flow on Distribution System Water Quality, Design, and Operation. This report concludes with the following:
“Water-efficient fire suppression technologies exist that use less water than conventional standards. In particular, the universal application of automatic sprinkler systems provides the most proven method for reducing loss of life and property due to fire, while at the same time providing faster response to the fire and requiring significantly less water than conventional fire- fighting techniques. It is recommended that the universal application of automatic fire sprinklers

be adopted by local jurisdictions.”
Consider the benefits: a single firefighter using a normal 1-1/2” fire hose can be applying between 175-400 gallons of water per minute when attempting to extinguish a fire. On the other hand, a single fire sprinkler will be flowing only 18- to 40- gallons of water per minute. This means that over a 5-minute period, the following quantities of water are used:
Fire-fighter with 1-1/2” hose:
175 gpm x 5 minutes = 875 gallons of water
400 gpm x 5 minutes = 2,000 gallons of water
Fire sprinkler system:
18 gpm x 5 minutes = 90 gallons of water
40 gpm x 5 minutes = 200 gallons of water
This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 903.3.5.3: This section is carried over from previous Ordinance No. 747. The section limits all hydraulically calculated fire sprinkler systems to not exceed 90% of the water supply capacity. The 10% buffer in hydraulic calculation is a common engineering business practice that gives some flexibility to account for system water pressures that may decrease as additional demands are placed on the water system from additional construction or as the system ages.
This change is administrative, and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 904.2.2.1: This is a new section added to the Fire Code to require that all new hood and duct commercial kitchen extinguishing systems are monitored by a central station or remote supervising station to ensure that the fire department is notified and able to respond to a fire.
This change is necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
Section 3206.4.2: This section is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747 and relocated to the automatic sprinkler section within Chapter 32 of the Fire Code. By requiring client leased or occupant owned warehouses to have a technical report completed by a registered engineer, it will minimize problems concerning commodity and sprinkler protection. By having an engineer complete a technical report for the proposed or existing building it will provide greater certainty that adequate protection for the commodities that are proposed will be sufficient. By not having adequate sprinkler protection, it could be detrimental to the building and could also cause loss of life in the event of a fire. Geographically this can be a significant problem due to the seismic activity that Indian Wells experiences. The Engineer can assess the adequate protection for the correct commodity classifications, ensure the correct seismic provisions are in place for the type

of system to be installed, and provide a professional assurance to a very volatile type of occupancy. It takes a vast number of resources to extinguish a fire of this type. By adding this requirement, it will ensure an added level of safety. Modifications have been made to provide clarification that certain reference documents are not required. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
Section 4904.2.1: This section has been deleted and is covered by the provisions of the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code as adopted and amended.
Section 4107: A new Section 4107, including Sections 4107.1 through 4107.2.3 is added to the Fire Code to provide the fire department with the authority to inspect Mobile Food Preparation Vehicles during special events. This section was removed from the CFC due to conflict in regulations, however HCD agrees that there would be an expectation for fire marshals to have jurisdiction over safety inspections (especially for fire protection equipment and systems’ inspections, testing and maintenance), for participating SPCM MFF during special events requiring CFC 105.6 operational permits (such as Carnivals and Fairs, Exhibits and Trade Shows, or local codified “Special Events” …). See BSC TP-106 (Rev. 10/20) Initial Statement of Reasons June 21, 2021 Rulemaking File SFM 06/21 – Part 9 – 2021 Triennial Code Cycle. This change is necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
Section 5608.1: A new amendment to correctly update an existing amendment referenced in another Indian Wells Municipal Code section (§ 9.53.015 / Ord. 723 § 12, 2019). Amendment language has been cleaned up to avoid any confusion on what may or may not be permitted.
Section 5608.2: A new Section 5608.2 is added to the Fire Code to establish a minimum required radius of the fallout area for aerial shells to be 100 ft/in. (22 m/25 mm) of the internal mortar diameter of the largest aerial shell to be fired, unless otherwise approved. This is necessary due to the climatic wind conditions within Indian Wells. This change is necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
Section B103.2.1: A new Section B103.2.1 is added to the Fire Code to establish the minimum fire flow for any new subdivision or tract constructed within a Wildland-Urban Interface Area to be 1,500 gallons per minute to ensure that adequate fire-flow is provided. This change is necessary as emergency standards to protect health and safety.
Table B105.2 of Appendix B: This amendment is carried over from the previous Ordinance No. 747. This allows the fire department to still have adequate fire flow mitigation with sprinkler protection and not jeopardize main distribution systems by inadequately under sizing them and have costly upgrades for future projects. With the geographical diversity that Indian Wells has it is important that this requirement be added to ensure adequate water in the event of a fire. This change is administrative and the changes or modifications are substantially equivalent to changes or modifications that were previously filed by the City Council and were in effect as of September
