The four Districts that approved an assessment increase and inflationary adjustment are identified as:

District No. District Name
District #08 Lumbermen’s Business Park
District #17 Highway 111
District #25 Veranda
District #26 Rincon Homes.

In Fiscal Year 2000/2001, the City initiated and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for 02, 03, 04, 05, 07, 09, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, and 27 of the Landscaping and Lighting Districts contained in this Report in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID. The ballot proceedings were to obtain property owner approval for an annual increase to maximum assessment rates for the Districts. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing on August 2, 2000, the property owner ballots returned were tabulated to determine if majority protest existed. The tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did not exist in seven of the Districts balloted.

The property owners within these seven Districts approved the special benefit assessment increase presented and an assessment range formula that provides a three percent annual increase to the maximum assessment approved.

The seven Districts that approved an assessment increase and inflationary adjustment are:

District No. District Name
District #03 Park Paseo
District #09 Pan American
District #12 Park Madison
District #14 Wildflower
District #18 Encanto Homes
District #21 Santa Rosa
District #24 California Palms
In Fiscal Year 2003/2004, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for Districts 31 through 39. In Fiscal Year 2004/2005, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for Districts 40 through 44. In Fiscal Year 2005/2006, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for Districts 45 through 47. In Fiscal Year 2007/2008, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for District 48. In Fiscal Year 2008/2009, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for Districts 49 and

50. At the conclusion of the Public Hearings, the property owner ballots returned were tabulated to determine if majority protest existed. The tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did not exist in the Districts balloted. Districts 31 through 50 represent the Districts formed by the City in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the Article XIIID.

The district assessments in Districts 31 through 50 which were approved by property owner balloting proceedings included the approval of maximum assessment rates and an

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1046 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 5 of 53
assessment range formula that allow for annual inflationary increases of three percent (3%) to the maximum assessment rates each Fiscal Year.

In Fiscal Year 2012/2013, the City conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings to increase the assessment as well as incorporate an assessment range formula for Districts 30. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the property owner ballots returned were tabulated to determine if majority protest existed. The tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did exist and therefore the assessment range formula and assessment increase were not adopted. In Fiscal Year 2013/2014 the City decided to dissolve District No. 30 and let Heritage Palms CC/HOA take over the maintenance.

In Fiscal Year 2013/2014, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings with an assessment range formula to allow for annual inflationary increases of three percent (3%) to the maximum assessment rates each Fiscal Year for District 51.

The tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did not exist.

District 52 was previously Zone 46 in the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 89-1 Consolidated of the County of Riverside. The City, as of Fiscal Year 2015/2016, took over the maintenance of the parcels within this district and incorporated it into the City of Indio Landscape and Lighting District as District No. 52.

In Fiscal Year 2013/2014, the City formed and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings with an assessment range formula to allow for annual inflationary increases of three percent (3%) to the maximum assessment rates each Fiscal Year for District 53.

The tabulation of the ballots indicated that majority protest did not exist.

District 54 was previously part of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No 89- 1 Consolidated of the County of Riverside. The City, as of Fiscal Year 2016/17, took over the maintenance of the one parcel within this district and therefore has incorporated it into the City of Indio Landscape and Lighting District as District No. 54.

The proposed District assessments for any Fiscal Year may be increased over the previous Fiscal Year assessment provided the assessment rate does not exceed the maximum assessment rate adopted and approved by the property owners. Pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID, new or increased assessments (the incremental increase) are subject to both the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4, including a mailed property owner notice and protest ballot proceeding.

II. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND BENEFITS The City annually levies and collects special benefit assessments in order to maintain and service the improvements within the Consolidated District. Each District provides for specific improvements and services that may include the maintenance and operation of landscaping and associated appurtenances located within the public right-of-ways and dedicated easements in each of the Districts.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1047 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 6 of 53
Improvements within each of the Districts and the properties associated with those improvements have been reviewed for benefit. Because each of the improvements maintained within the various Districts are local in nature and were originally installed as part of the development of properties assessed, it has been determined that there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or to the public at large. In making this determination it should be noted that similar improvements throughout the City are typically maintained by individual property owners or through some type of association and the on-going maintenance of these improvements are a special benefit to the properties associated with those improvements.

B. IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE 1972 ACT
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
 The installation or planting of landscaping.
 The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities.
 The installation or construction of public lighting facilities.  The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
 The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing.  The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
 The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment;
 The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting and mailing of notices;  Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments;  Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services;  Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
 Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5.
 Costs associated with any noticing and balloting held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1048 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 7 of 53
The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
 Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.  Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.  The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.  The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

The landscape improvements provided by the Districts may include landscaped parkways, perimeters, entryways, local medians, slopes, internal amenities and appurtenant facilities. The annual assessments outlined in this Report are proposed to cover the estimated costs to provide the necessary service, operation, administration, and maintenance required to keep these improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory condition. The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.  Improved aesthetic appeal of properties within the Districts providing a positive representation of the area.
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
 Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and drainage and flood control.
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the Districts resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.  Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the Districts through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
 Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels within the Districts by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The preceding special benefits contribute to a specific enhancement and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the Districts.

C. CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT INFORMATION
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of each District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed, among assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such parcel from the improvements. The benefit formula calculation used within each District varies, as do the improvements and properties receiving special benefit from those improvements. The formula used for each District reflects the composition of the parcels within the District, and the improvements and services provided to fairly proportion the costs based on estimated benefit to each parcel. The improvements, the method of apportionment, the

D. CHANGES TO THE DISTRICTS
Changes to the Districts may include:
 The cost of maintaining the improvements (Budget);
 Changes in the annual assessments;
 Legislative changes that affect the District; or,
 Modifications to the District structure that include, but are not limited to—alterations in the existing improvements and/or services provided, addition of new improvements or services, addition of benefit zones, annexation of parcels into one of the Districts, or revisions in the method of apportionment.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1051 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 10 of 53
Although no significant modifications to the structures of the Districts have been implemented in the last several years, the City has taken several steps towards enhancing the improvements within the Districts. To ensure a high level of maintenance, enhance the quality of life and appearance of the Districts, and ensure a fair and equitable apportionment of the improvement costs, the City annually reviews the improvements, the services provided, the costs associated with those improvements and current fund balances for each District.

In Fiscal Year 1999/2000 and again in Fiscal Year 2000/2001, the City initiated and conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for assessment increases necessary to provide a higher level of service within several of the Districts. In conjunction with the assessment balloting process, the City held numerous public workshops to improve communication and obtain property owner input. Although property owners did not approve an assessment increase in every District balloted; those that approved an assessment increase also approved an assessment range formula. This assessment range formula provides a fixed 3% annual inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment rate that may be imposed each Fiscal Year. (The annual assessment may not exceed the annually adjusted Maximum assessment).

The Districts formed since the passage of Proposition 218 in November 1996, have been formed pursuant to the 1972 Act and in conjunction with a property owner notice and protest ballot proceeding for the annual assessments in compliance with the provisions of the Article XIIID. In each of these Districts (Districts 31 through 51), the assessments presented to the property owners and approved by those property owners includes the assessment range formula that provides a 3% annual inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment rate each Fiscal Year.

III. DISTRICT SPECIFICATIONS
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED
The boundaries of each District and a brief description of the improvements are described in this section of the Report. The allocation of special benefit and general benefit from the various improvements are summarized in the Method of Apportionment section of this Report.

Most of the Districts described in this Report have similar types of improvements and require similar maintenance and servicing (the work to be performed). The following is a general description of the work to be performed in each District. Any significant differences or additional work applicable to a particular District will be noted and described for that District. In Fiscal Year 2001/2002, the City Council directed the City staff to remove the cost of street lighting within the tracts from the annual budget for those Districts that had historically been assessed for street lighting improvements. The City will utilize other revenue sources to provide and maintain these street lighting facilities.

The work to be performed within each District includes the operation, maintenance, servicing and administration of the landscaping improvements associated with each District. The maintenance and servicing include, but is not limited to the cultivation, replacement, trimming and training of landscaping in accordance with standard horticultural practices; the furnishing and application of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides; the removal and replacement of dead or damaged plant material; the removal

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1053 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 12 of 53
of trash and debris; abatement of weeds and defaced or damaged surface of the blockwalls and other appurtenant facilities; repair of the sprinkler system including replacement of any damaged, defective or worn parts; and the furnishing of electrical power and water to maintain the landscaping. Each District’s improvements include automatic sprinkler system that is a complete system with electric supply, water supply, automatic clock, piping, various types of heads and other items incidental and necessary to make the system operational unless otherwise noted.

B. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
The original Assessment Diagrams for each of the Districts were presented and approved upon formation of each District and are on file in the Office of Engineering and by reference are made part of this Report. Parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the Districts shall be the parcel as shown on the Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. The following is a brief description of each of the District boundaries and improvements.

District #01 — Sundance
The District includes the parcels within Tracts 10943-1 through 10943-4, Tract 12572 and Tracts 12572-1 through 12572-7; generally located between Monroe Street and Arabia Street, north of Avenue 48.

The District improvements include parkway landscaping between the sidewalk and blockwall adjacent to the tract(s) on Monroe Street and Arabia Street (frontages of the District); and a landscaped median island along the southern boundary of the District (between Avenue 48 and Solano Avenue) from Monroe Street to Arabia Street. The landscaping improvements consist of an automatic sprinkler system, hardscape, block-walls, and plant material that consist of groupings of palm trees with ground cover along Monroe Street and Arabia Street and groupings of silk oak trees, oleanders, and ground cover in the median island.

District #02 — Sun Tree Ranch
The District includes the parcels within Tract 9173 and Tract 12936-1; generally located south of Fred Waring Drive (formerly Avenue 44), and east of Clinton Street.

The landscaping improvements consist of an automatic sprinkler system, hardscape, blockwalls and plant material. The sprinkler system is a complete system that also includes an automatic control panel, remote control valves, with various sprinkler and shrub heads.

The existing plant material consists of groupings of palm trees, and ground cover.

The District improvements are identified in the plans entitled "Street Improvement Plan for Tract 9173 and Tract 12936-1 Sun Tree Ranch", on file in the office of the Department of Public Services. The lots and parcels within the District are shown on the original assessment diagram entitled “Sun Tree Ranch Maintenance District Diagram” dated April 2, 1979, and by reference these documents are made part of this Report.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1054 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 13 of 53
District #03 — Park Paseo
The District includes the parcels within Tracts 11469-1 and 11469-2, generally located south of Miles Avenue and west of Monroe Street.

The improvements include parkway landscaping between the sidewalk and block-wall adjacent to the tract(s) along Miles Avenue, Lido Avenue, and Monroe Street (frontages of the District); and the median islands and parkway landscaping on Sierra Avenue and Paseo Entrada (tract entryways). The landscaping improvements consist of an automatic sprinkler system, hardscape, block-walls, and plant material located in the areas described. The plant material consists of an arrangement of various types of trees uniformly spaced, inter-spaced with a variety of shrubs, and the remaining open area planted with a ground cover. Also included is a decorative sign located at the corner of Miles and Monroe Streets.

The District improvements are identified in the plans entitled "Site Improvements, Tract 11469-1 and Tract 11469-2”, on file in the office of the Department of Public Services. The lots and parcels within the District are shown on the original assessment diagram entitled “Park Paseo Maintenance District Diagram” dated April 2, 1979, and by reference these documents are made part of this Report.

District #04 — Jackson Park
The District includes the parcels within Tract 13349 and Tract 13349-1 generally located south of Dr. Carreon Blvd (formerly Avenue 47) and west of Jackson Street.

The improvements include parkway landscaping between the sidewalk and block-walls adjacent to the tract(s) along Dr. Carreon Blvd and Jackson Street (frontages of the District). The landscaping improvements consist of an automatic sprinkler system, hardscape, block-walls, and plant material, located in the areas described. The sprinkler system is a complete system that also includes drip irrigation and other items incidental and necessary to make the system operational. The plant material consists of an arrangement of various types of trees uniformly spaced, inter-spaced with a variety of shrubs, and the remaining open area planted with a ground cover.

The District has been divided into three (3) Zones of benefit based on the location of each parcel within the District and its proximity to the various District improvements. Each parcel shares proportionately in the cost of the improvements that provide a special benefit to the parcel. There are a total of 114 assessable parcels within the District. The Zones are identified as:
 Zone A — includes 66 residential parcels located on Via Sicily, Via Turin, Via Venecia, and Via Genoa. These parcels are physically and visually associated with two landscaped entrances on Jackson Street and the parkway landscaping along Jackson Street (approximately three times larger than the parkway on Dr. Carreon Blvd). As part of the overall subdivision, these parcels are also directly associated with the parkway landscaping on Dr. Carreon Blvd and therefore receive special benefits from the landscape improvements within the District. These 66 parcels are assessed for approximately 63.5% of the total District improvement costs.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1055 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 14 of 53
 Zone B — includes 46 residential parcels located on Via Palermo, Via Milano, and Via Sorrento. These residential properties are a continuation of a previous residential subdivision and although the parcels have no direct access to the streets within Zone A (Via Sicily, Via Turin, Via Venecia, and Via Genoa), the landscape improvements surrounding the two Zones are clearly associated with the parcels in both Zones. Similar to properties within Zone A, the parcels within Zone B are directly associated with the perimeter landscaping on Dr. Carreon Blvd and Jackson Street and share equally in the costs and benefits of those improvements. However, the costs associated with the two landscaped entrances on Jackson Street are not a special benefit to Zone B parcels and therefore these parcels are not assessed for these two improvement areas. The parcels within Zone B are assessed for approximately 36.2% of the total District costs.  Zone C — includes two parcels that are within the District boundary, but slightly outside the wall and landscaped areas fronting on Dr. Carreon Blvd (Parcels 614-180-019 and 614-182-026). These two parcels benefit from the improvements by association and when the District was formed, the two parcels were identified as "problematical" and assessed only 0.3% of total Direct Costs.

The District improvements are identified in the plans entitled "Tract 13349, Avenue 47 and Jackson Street Perimeter Area" dated November 10, 1977, and the plans entitled “Perimeter Area Sundance East” dated April 4, 1984, are on file in the office of the Department of Public Services.

IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formula used for calculating assessments in each District should therefore reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.

In addition, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 4, a parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and provides that only special benefits are assessable and the Consolidated District must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. As discussed in the Benefit Analysis, it has been determined that there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the Districts.

B. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Equivalent Benefit Units: To assess benefits equitably, it is necessary to relate the different type of parcel improvements to each other. The Equivalent Benefit Unit method of apportionment uses the single-family home as the basic unit of assessment. A singlefamily residential property equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”). Every other landuse is converted to EBU’s based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land-use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family residential property.

The EBU method of apportioning benefit is typically seen as the most appropriate and equitable assessment methodology for calculating benefit in districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements are apportioned as a function of land-use type, size and development.

Most of the Districts are comprised primarily or entirely of subdivided residential properties or planned residential subdivisions (except Districts noted below). In examining the various properties within these Districts and the improvements provided and maintained, it has been determined that each parcel to be assessed receives similar and equal benefits and should be assessed equally. Therefore, the annual assessment can be computed by dividing the total annual cost to provide the improvements by the number of eligible parcels within the District. This results in a uniform assessment for each parcel. Any common areas or easements within the development subdivisions receive no special benefit and are not assessed.

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1075 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 34 of 53
The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).

Parcel Type EBU x Acres or Units = Parcel EBU
The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU’s) for each District is the sum of individual EBU’s applied to parcels in the District that receive a special benefit from the District improvements. An assessment amount per EBU (“Levy Rate”) is established by taking the total cost of the improvements to be assessed and dividing that amount by the total number of EBU’s of parcels benefiting from the improvements. This Levy Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for that improvement.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy Rate per EBU
Levy Rate per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
The following considerations pertain to the Districts noted below:

District 08: This District includes the Southern Pacific Railroad property, which is adjacent to the District improvements and the parcels identified on Parcel Map 23228.

Parcels that receive benefits from the improvements but are identified by the County as non-taxable properties cannot be assessed on the County tax rolls (e.g. the Southern Pacific Railroad property). The County will not generate a tax bill for non-taxable parcels and any annual assessment to be collected for these properties must be hand-billed to the property owner by the City.

Parcel 610-020-014 is adjacent to the District improvements and is identified as Southern Pacific Railroad property with a depth of 150 feet (3.23 acres). This parcel is an SBE property, (State Board of Equalization) and classified as non-taxable by the County.

Therefore, the County will not generate a tax bill for this parcel and the annual assessment must be hand-billed. This parcel represents 31% of the total assessment for the District (5.61 EBU of the total 17.89 EBU).

District 13: This District provides for the operation, maintenance and servicing of perimeter landscaping associated with the Indio Center Plaza. The method of apportionment established at the time the District was formed, identified that the improvements enhanced the property within the District and that the benefit received by each parcel is best calculated by the parcel’s proportionate front footage along Miles Avenue. An assessment rate per front footage is calculated by dividing the total estimate annual costs by the total front footage on Miles Avenue. This assessment rate multiplied by each parcel’s individual front footage (as shown on the assessment diagram entitled "Indio Center Plaza Maintenance District Diagram") established each parcel’s proportional benefit and levy amount.

The proportional benefit and assessment for subsequent lot line adjustments or parcel reconfigurations are recalculated based on the new front footage of each parcel. Where a reconfiguration (parcel change) results in one or more children parcels having no direct front footage on Miles Avenue, the total front footage originally applied to the parent parcel will be apportioned to each of the children parcels based on their respective acreage. (This

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1076 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 35 of 53
apportionment process assumes the new parcels have access to Miles Avenue and the parcels are or will be developed.)
District 17: The original method of apportionment established for this District utilized parcel square footage to calculate each parcel’s proportional benefit from the District improvements. However, in application, the calculation of each parcel’s proportional benefit and annual assessment utilizes parcel acreage rather than square footage. Parcel acreage is identified on the Assessor’s Parcel Maps and electronically maintained by the County Assessor’s Office (rather than square footage), and therefore a more quantifiable and consistent measurement of a parcel’s size and benefit. The use of acreage data rather than square footage data does not change any parcel’s proportionate share of the improvement costs. The following formula is used to calculate the annual assessment rate for this District:

Total Balance to Levy / Total Acreage = Levy Rate per Acre District 45: For this District, each proposed commercial or industrial unit at buildout is used as the basic unit of assessment and is assigned one benefit unit or 1.0 Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU). Based on the approved development plans for Shadow Hills Business Park, the total number of Equivalent Benefit Units for the District is 46.0 EBU (46 assessable commercial or industrial lots). An assessment amount per EBU (Rate) for the improvements is established by taking the total “Balance to Levy,” and dividing that amount by the total number of “Equivalent Benefit Units” (EBUs). This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for the improvements. For this District, the rate and assessment per EBU is essentially the same as a per parcel assessment.

Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy per EBU (assessment rate) Levy per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
District 53: For this District, each of the Equivalent Benefit Units for the District is equal to the Total Front Footage (TFF).

C. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirement. The Brown Act defines the terms "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions.

These certain conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition was later confirmed by Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).

The City has adopted a policy of including a fixed 3% annual inflationary factor (assessment range formula) for property owner approval when a District is balloted for an increased assessment. This 3% annual adjustment provides for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to the maximum assessment approved by the property owners.

The adoption of an assessment range formula does not mean the annual assessments will increase each year nor does it restrict the assessments to the adjustment amount.

Although the maximum assessment amount allowed shall be adjusted up by 3% each year, the actual amount assessed will be based on District costs (budget). If the proposed

Resolution No. 10596 approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report and Res... Page 1077 of 1638 2026/2027 LLD 01-22 and 24-29 and 31-54 Page 36 of 53
assessment is less than the maximum assessment approved in the previous Fiscal Year adjusted by a percentage no greater than three percent (3%), the assessment shall not be considered as an increase. If the calculated assessment is greater than the adjusted maximum assessment than the assessment is considered an increased assessment and a property owner protest ballot proceeding is required.

District # 52, Las Colinas, was established by the County of Riverside to include an annual inflationary factor equal to the greater of 2% or the cumulative increase of the (1) Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area CPI-U from March 2005 to March of current year. For Fiscal Year 2026/2027, the total CPI change from Fiscal Year 2005/2006 is 76.82% cumulatively. The CPI change from the previous year is 3.40%. (1) Beginning January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed the index from Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area to the current Index Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area.

Pursuant to property owner protest ballot proceedings, an inflationary adjustment is applicable to the following Districts:

V. CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT BUDGET
The following pages provide the proposed budget and assessment rate for each of the Districts and Zones within the Consolidated District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. These budgets include the City’s estimate of expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves. The estimated direct and administrative annual expenses budgeted, represents the total cost to provide for the maintenance and operation of the District improvements for the Fiscal Year. This amount may be increased by the collection of additional funds to be set aside for operational reserves planned for the Districts. The total expenses may also be reduced by transfers from these available funds as well as from contributions or advances made from the general fund or other revenue sources. Together, the total expenses plus or minus any adjustments represents the total amount to be levied for the Fiscal Year (Balance to Levy). The Balance to Levy divided by the Total Equivalent Benefit Units establishes the assessment rate for the Fiscal Year, but shall not exceed the maximum assessment rate previously approved. Each parcel within a District is assessed proportionately for only those improvements that provided special benefits to the parcel at the proposed budgeted assessment/levy rate.

APPENDIX A – DISTRICT BOUNDARY/ ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM
The Assessment Diagrams showing the boundaries for each of the Districts has been previously submitted to the Clerk of the City in the format required under the 1972 Act and are, by reference, made part of this Report. The Assessment Diagrams are available for inspection at the Office of the City Clerk, during normal business hours.

APPENDIX B – 2026/2027 ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District, shall be the parcel as shown on the Riverside County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared. The land use classification for each parcel is based on the currently available County Secured Roll.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-ofways including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-ways; common areas (such as in condominium complexes); landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed; and park properties and other publicly owned, government-owned, public utility-owned properties that have little or no improvement value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.

At the conclusion of the public hearing for the District and the proposed assessments, any property owner assessment ballots for new or increased assessments will be tabulated for the ballots returned, and the City Council will declare the result of any such balloting. Based on balloting results (if any), the City Council may amend this Report or approve the Report as submitted. Approval of the Report (as submitted or as modified) confirms the method of apportionment and the maximum assessment rate to be levied against each eligible parcel and thereby constitutes the approved levy and collection of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

The listing of parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current Fiscal Year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

The listing of parcels within each District along with each parcel’s proposed assessment amount for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 is voluminous and as such has been submitted to the City Clerk, under a separate cover, and by reference is made part of this Report.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Jonathan Nicks, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 10598, Approving Solid Waste Service Rate Adjustments Effective July 15, 2026 and Authorizing Future Rate Adjustments
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing, receive and consider all public testimony and written protests, determine whether a majority protest exists, and, if no majority protest exists, adopt Resolution No. 10598 approving the solid waste service rate adjustments set forth in Exhibit A to the Resolution, effective July 15, 2026; authorizing future automatic adjustments; finding that the rates comply with Article XIII D, section 6 of the California Constitution; and declaring that no majority protest exists.

SUMMARY:

In 2022, the City Council approved a Franchise Hauler Agreement with Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services, LLC., which outlines annual allowable rate adjustments. This year, the rate for residential tax roll service would increase from $26.38 to $28.99 per month, residential direct-bill service would increase from $31.94 to $35.01 per month, and commercial service for a 3-yard bin collected once per week would increase from $147.81 to $163.41 per month. These adjustments are consistent with the rate-setting provisions established in the franchise agreement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Franchise Agreement between the City of Indio and Burrtec Waste includes provisions for annual waste rate adjustments and allows for extraordinary adjustments to service rates with certain conditions. Burrtec met the conditions for extraordinary adjustments by demonstrating a cost imbalance between revenues and the cost of providing services and identifying cost pressures that contributed to the imbalance.

On May 20, 2026, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement which included a 13 percent extraordinary increase over two years in addition to the standard waste rate adjustments. The amendment also changed the annual inflation adjustment from the Producer Price Index (PPI) for All Goods to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Water, Sewer, and Trash Collection Services because the PPI no longer fully reflects inflationary impacts within the solid waste industry. The Amendment also included the addition of street sweeping debris disposal costs and mandated procurement cost for Mulch or Compost. The proposed rate increase for residential tax roll would increase $2.61 from $26.38 to $28.99 and the residential direct bill would increase $3.07 from $31.94 to $35.01 per month. The commercial trash AGENDA ITEM #10.3
Resolution No. 10598, Approving Solid Waste Service Rate Adjustments Eff... Page 1101 of 1638 rate for a 3-yard bin picked up one time per week would increase $15.60 from $147.81 to $163.41 per month.

The proposed rates are subject to Proposition 218. Once the Amendment was approved, written notices were sent to the property owners or tenants who are charged with receiving service notifying them of this hearing and their right to protest the waste rate adjustment, allowing more than 45 days prior to the hearing. The notice was in writing and stated all of the following:
a. The amount of the Waste Rate Adjustments proposed to be imposed upon each parcel; b. The basis upon which the amount of the Waste Rate Adjustments was calculated; c. The reason for the Waste Rate Adjustments;
d. The date, time, and location of a public hearing on the Waste Rate Adjustment; and e. Each property owner has the right to submit a protest against the Waste Rate Adjustments, either in writing or orally, to the City Clerk no later than the conclusion of the Public Hearing on July 15, 2026.

The City has complied with the notice, protest, and hearing requirements of Proposition 218 with respect to the Waste Rate Adjustment.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO, CALIFORNIA

APPROVING THE INCREASES TO THE SOLID WASTE RATES IN THE AMOUNTS AS PROVIDED IN EXHIBIT A; AND DECLARING THAT NO

MAJORITY PROTEST EXISTS
WHEREAS, the City of Indio (“City”), through its agreement with Burrtec provides solid waste and trash service to residents and businesses within its service area; and
WHEREAS, the City in connection with Burrtec is responsible for maintaining a reliable, high-quality solid waste and trash collection and disposal services; and WHEREAS, the City, along with Burrtec, periodically evaluate its solid waste rates, especially those that are passed through ensuring rates are equitable, proportional, and sufficient to recover the costs associated with providing solid waste and disposal service; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that in order to provide effective solid waste services, certain costs must be increased (“Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases”); and
WHEREAS, the reasons for the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases are as follows:

1. Disposal Costs
The Proposed Fee Increases include a 3.56% increase to dispose of waste.

This disposal cost part of the Proposed Fee Increases accounts for higher landfill disposal fees, reflecting a 3.56% increase in costs to provide disposal services. The City must dispose of waste in permitted landfills, which landfills periodically increase their fees to cover rising operating costs, costs for regulatory compliance, and costs associated with long-term closure obligations.

Beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 through 2031, the rate will be adjusted up to 10% of the disposal cost.

2. Service Costs
Service costs are increasing to account for the rising costs of collecting and safely processing solid waste. The increases in costs for labor, fuel and transportation are reflected in the Proposed Fee Increases.

The service cost part of the Proposed Fee Increases accounts for increases in the cost of providing solid waste services, including labor, worker safety costs, fuel, vehicle maintenance and replacement, equipment, insurance, and other operational

Resolution No. 10598, Approving Solid Waste Service Rate Adjustments Eff... Page 1103 of 1638 2 expenses required to collect, transport, and manage solid waste. Therefore, the service cost part of the Proposed Fee Increases is necessary to ensure reliable solid waste services and to maintain required equipment and infrastructure.

Beginning on July 15, 2026, the service fee will be as per Exhibit A.

3. Extraordinary Cost for the Total Solid Waste Fee
On July 1, 2027, the total solid waste fee will be increased 6.5%, in addition to the amount already included per CPI. This is a one-time increase.

This extraordinary cost part of the Proposed Fee Increases accounts for increases in the cost of providing solid waste services, including labor, worker safety costs, fuel, vehicle maintenance and replacement, equipment, insurance, and other operational expenses required to collect, transport, and manage solid waste. Therefore, this extraordinary cost part of the Proposed Fee Increases is necessary to ensure reliable solid waste services and to maintain required equipment and infrastructure.

Beginning on July 15, 2026, the service fee will be as per Exhibit A.

4. Adjustment for Inflation
a. Producer Price Index (“PPI”) only for 2026
The Proposed Fee Increase includes a 2.47% adjustment for inflation pursuant to the PPI. Over the years, the PPI increase has not reflected the actual increase to solid waste operating costs. These costs have risen higher than reflected in the PPI.

This PPI increase applies to all solid waste fees except for the disposal fee. This PPI increase begins on July 15, 2026, and will end on June 30, 2027. b. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for 2027 and Beyond
Beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 through 2031, the fees will be adjusted for inflation pursuant to the Consumer Price Index, Water, Sewer and Trash, not to exceed 5%. This methodology should better reflect the actual inflationary cost and help stabilize the rates. This CPI increase applies to all solid waste fees except for the disposal fee.

WHEREAS, the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases to be imposed are set forth in Exhibit “A” of this Resolution, which has both the current fees and the Proposed Solid Waste Fees; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was scheduled for July 15, 2026, at which the City Council is in fact considering all written protests and public testimony before taking final action on the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases; and

Resolution No. 10598, Approving Solid Waste Service Rate Adjustments Eff... Page 1104 of 1638 3 WHEREAS, the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases are designed to ensure fairness and compliance with Proposition 218. Pursuant to proposition 218, the City Council makes all of the following findings:
a. The revenues derived from the Solid Waste Fee Increases shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related services. b. The revenues derived from the Solid Waste Fee Increases shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the proposed fee is imposed.
c. The amount of the Solid Waste Fee Increases per parcel shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel. d. The Solid Waste Fee Increases will be actually used, or it shall be immediately available for use.
e. The Solid Waste Fee Increases will not be used for general governmental services, including police, fire, ambulance, or library services; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6, of Article XIII(D), on May 28, 2026, written notices were sent out to the property owners or tenants who are charged with receiving service notifying them of this hearing and their right to protest the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases, allowing more than 45 days prior to the hearing. The notice was in writing and stated all of the following:
a. The amount of the Solid Waste Fee Increases proposed to be imposed upon each parcel; and
b. The basis upon which the amount of the Solid Waste Fee Increases were calculated; and
c. The reason for the Solid Waste Fee Increases; and
d. The date, time, and location of a public hearing on the Proposed Solid Waste Fees; and that
e. Each property owner has the right to submit a protest against the Solid Waste Fee Increases, either in writing or orally, to the City Clerk no later than the conclusion of the Public Hearing on July 15, 2026; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2026, the City mailed written notices of the proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases to all affected property owners and tenants at least 45 days prior to the scheduled public hearing; and
WHEREAS, on June 22, 2026, proper notice was placed in the Desert Sun newspaper of this hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City has complied with the notice, protest, and hearing requirements of Proposition 218 with respect to the Solid Waste Fee Increases; and WHEREAS, on July 15, 2026, the City Council conducted the Public Hearing in the manner required by law and heard and considered all objections and protests to the Proposed Solid Waste Fee Increases; and

Resolution No. 10598, Approving Solid Waste Service Rate Adjustments Eff... Page 1105 of 1638 4 WHEREAS, at the close of the public hearing ____ oppositions were received; and
WHEREAS, the protests submitted in opposition were not greater than the majority of the parcels subject to the Solid Waste Fee Increases; and WHEREAS, a majority protest does not exist; and
WHEREAS, having a resolution establishing solid waste rates is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. RECITALS
The recitals are incorporated.

Section 2. SETTING OF RATES
The Solid Waste Fee Increases to be imposed are attached hereto as set forth in Exhibit “A” of this Resolution, (which Exhibit A has both the current fees and the Solid Waste Fee Increases Adjustments).

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Jonathan Nicks, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 10599 ordering the vacation of a Portion of Madison Street at the Northwest Corner of Madison Street and Highway 111.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that after the close of the public hearing, the City Council adopt Resolution No. 10599, ordering the vacation of a Portion of Madison Street at the northwest corner of Madison Street and Highway 111.

SUMMARY:

As part of the Madison Street Widening Project between Highway 111 and Avenue 48, it was identified that excess right-of-way exists at the northwest corner of Madison Street and Highway 111. The existing right-of-way extends into the adjacent 76 Gas Station parking lot along Madison Street. It was also determined that certain public improvements located along the north side of Highway 111 encroach onto the 76 Gas Station property. To resolve these discrepancies, a land exchange has been coordinated to correct the right-of-way boundaries and align ownership with existing improvements. At the end of this right of way vacation process, the portion of Madison Street being considered for vacation would revert to the 76 Gas Station property owner, and the City would receive additional right-of-way along the north side of Highway 111 to encompass the existing public improvements.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The proposed portion of right-of-way being considered for vacation is located at the northwest corner of Madison Street and Highway 111 and is no longer needed by the City of Indio. The City Council is authorized to vacate public right-of-way pursuant to the Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law (California Streets and Highways Code Section 8300 et seq.).

The portion of right-of-way proposed for vacation is described in Exhibits A and B of the attached Resolution No.10599.

The resulting configuration of the revised Madison Street right-of-way will comply with the City of Indio’s General Plan Mobility Element.

RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission recommends approval of Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 for Planning Review Discretionary, Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 and a determination that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300 (Class 32 – In-Fill Development) and Section 15183 (projects consistent with a community plan or zoning).

SUMMARY:

On June 19, 2025, the Applicant’s Representatives, Jim Fitzpatrick and MSA Consulting, Inc. on behalf of Schmid Desert Investments, LLC, submitted applications to the Community Development Department proposing Planning Review Discretionary (PLAN-PRD-25-0018) for the development of four (4) buildings on 4.8-acres consisting of a 2,400 square foot Starbucks with drive-through, a 3,315 square foot Quick Quack car wash with vacuums, a 3,060 square foot marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and, a 5,500 square foot multi-tenant retail building, including circulation, parking, landscape, signage program (PLAN-PRD-25-0018), Conditional Use Permit (PLAN-CUP-25-0006) for two Limited Land Uses to allow a drive-through restaurant and car wash and Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 (PLAN-TTM-25-0004) to subdivide 20.20-acres comprised of four (4) existing parcels (APN’s: 600-240-005, -016, -020, and -021) into eight (8) lots for mixed-use development for the Madison Pointe Phase 1 project located at the southwest corner of Highway 111 and Madison Street, and determining that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300 and 15183. On February 25, 2026, following the public hearing and Commissioner deliberation, the Project was continued to a regular scheduled Planning Commission meeting of March 25, 2026, for the review and revised project design that excludes a car wash. The Applicant agreed to remove the car wash component and the revised plans that now consists of the AGENDA ITEM #10.5
Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1131 of 1638 development of three (3) buildings on 3.71-acres comprised of a 2,400 square foot Starbucks with drive-through, a 3,060 square foot marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and a 5,500 square foot retail/commercial building. The lot where the car wash was proposed will remain vacant and the Applicant will be required to obtain one or more planning review entitlements prior to any construction. On May 20, 2026, following the public hearing and City Council deliberation, the Project was continued to allow additional review of the Council’s concerns related to the proposed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), including potential impacts associated with emissions, noise, fire safety, and hazardous materials. Five conditions of approval have been added to the project entitlement to address these issues of concern.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On September 21, 2022, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, reviewed the staff report, accepted and considered public testimony and approved Resolution No. 10326 adopting the Highway 111 Corridor Specific plan and repealing the Central Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the Mixed Use Specific Plan-300 (MUSP-300). On September 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10325 making a finding of consistency with the Program Final environmental Impact Report (PFEIR) for the General Plan 2040 certified by the City Council on September 18, 2019, for the adoption of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.

Schmid Desert Investments, LLC, submitted an initial application on November 21, 2021, for Specific Plan approval for four (4) parcels identified as Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APN's) 600- 240-005, 600-240-016, 600-240-020 and 600-240-021 located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Madison Street and Highway 111. The applicant subsequently determined to not proceed with the processing of a Specific Plan for the subject properties and chose to be considered under the provisions of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.

On November 21, 2022 the Planning Commission conditionally approved a Master Planned Development Permit (MPDP) pursuant to the provisions of the adopted Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan for a mixed-use project comprised of up to 400 senior housing apartment units, a 130- key hotel, 30,000 square feet of medical office space, and 15,500 square feet of commercial retail uses along with open space, recreational, and outdoor gathering spaces as unifying project design features and pedestrian access and integration between the planned on-site uses and between the project site and adjacent properties and adjacent public rights-of-way. The applicant in the submitted application materials contends that the Madison Pointe Mixed Use Project is intended to implement the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the General Plan 2040 pertaining to land use patterns, intensities, densities, building and site design and public right-of-way improvements.

On June 19, 2025, the Applicant’s Representatives, Jim Fitzpatrick and MSA Consulting, Inc on behalf of Schmid Desert Investments, LLC, submitted applications for the design and development of four (4) buildings on 4.8-acres for the Madison Pointe Phase 1 project, which will serve as the first implementing project for the Master Planned Development Permit. The project consisting of a 2,400 square foot Starbucks with drive-through, a 3,315 square foot Quick Quack car wash with vacuums, a 3,060 square foot marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and, a 5,500 square foot retail/commercial building, including circulation, parking, landscape, and signage program under the Planning Review Discretionary, Conditional Use Permit for two Limited Land Uses to allow a drive-through restaurant and car wash and Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 to subdivide 20.20-acres comprised of four (4) existing parcels (APN’s: 600-240-005, -016, -020, and -021) into eight (8) lots for mixed-use development for the Madison Pointe Phase 1 located at the southwest corner of Highway 111 and

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1132 of 1638 Madison Street, and determining that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15300 and 15183.

On February 25, 2026, following the public hearing and Planning Commission deliberation, this item was continued to the Planning Commission of March 25, 2026, for the review and revised project design that excludes a car wash. On March 5, 2026, the Planning Division received revised plans that now consists of the development of three (3) buildings on 3.71-acres comprised of a (1) 2,400 square foot Starbucks with drive-through, a (2) 3,060 square foot marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and a (3) 5,500 square foot retail/commercial building. The Planning Commission found that a car wash did not the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s Placemaking Vision by lacking a strong visual identity, neglecting pedestrian focus in favor of an auto-oriented use, and not establishing a unique corridor identity. The lot will remain vacant, and the Applicant will be required to obtain one or more planning review permits prior to any construction.

On March 25, 2026, staff requested the Planning Commission to continue the Project to a regular scheduled Planning Commission meeting date of April 8, 2026, at 6:00pm, to allow various Departments to complete their review of the revised project plans.

On April 8, 2026, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 2129, 2130, and 2131 recommending City Council approval of the Planning Review Discretionary, Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Tract Map and determining that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300 and 15183.

On May 20, 2026, following the public hearing and City Council deliberation, the Project was continued to allow additional review of the Council’s concerns related to the proposed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), including potential impacts associated with emissions, noise, fire safety, and hazardous materials. Given that BESS technology is relatively new and a first for the City of Indio, the City Council also requested that the Applicant enter into a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) to ensure the use of certified union labor during construction of the project. In response to these concerns, the City of Indio staff coordinated with the Imperial Irrigation District, South Coast Air Quality Management District, the Fire Department, and the Building and Safety Division to evaluate the proposed project and identify applicable regulatory requirements and safety measures.

Based on this coordination, staff has prepared additional conditions of approval intended to address the concerns raised by the City Council.

Site access to the property will be taken from the existing Walgreens drive-isle on Highway 111 and three newly proposed access drives, two on Highway 111 and reconfiguration of the access point on Madison Street south of the existing Walgreens. The first new access point will be located on the northwest of the site along Highway 111, the second access point will also be along Highway 111 and be aligned with the street (Bermuda Palms) across from the project and is proposed to be a signalized intersection, the third access to the project will be on Madison Street northeast of the site.

An interim stormwater retention is provided south of lot seven (Pad 4). Development also includes a landscape plan comprised of desert and other drought-tolerant planting materials.

The mixed-used development is located within a 20.20-acre site comprised of four parcels that have a zoning designation of Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) and Neighborhood General (NG) under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. General retail, restaurants, and convenience markets are permitted uses under both zones and drive-throughs of any kind are permitted through a conditional use permit granted by the City Council pursuant to Section 3.5.B Allowed Uses & Permit Requirements.

Public Hearing Notice:

A public hearing notice for the Project was published in the Desert Sun, the newspaper of record, on July 5, 2026, and a public hearing notice was mailed to property owners within a radius of 500-feet of the subject property on June 30, 2026.

FINDINGS: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
The Subdivision Map Act requires that, before any map approval, the City find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan 2040 (Government Code Section 66473.5). The Findings and Conclusion section of this report addresses the consistency of the Tentative Tract Map’s proposed subdivision with the Subdivision Map Act.

The Indio Municipal Code provides that the Planning Commission shall, upon recommending approval unequivocally or with modifications to the requirements and conditions it proposes upon a tentative map to the City Council, make the necessary findings as required by the Subdivision Map Act. Further, California Government Code Section 66474 sets forth findings that both the Planning Commission and the City Council must adopt when approving tentative maps. The findings below analyze the proposed Tentative Tract Map:

I. The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans:

The property is designated Mixed Use Neighborhood and Connected Neighborhood High in the General Plan 2040, with a zoning designation of Mixed-Use Corridor and Neighborhood General under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation provides moderate-to-higher intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and commercial uses along major streets. The Connected Neighborhood High provides a range of moderate-intensity housing choices within a walkable neighborhood setting within a short distance of goods and services. Housing types include small-lot single family detached and attached dwellings of various sizes, courtyard apartments and condos, and medium-sized multifamily buildings designs for neighborhood compatibility. The Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) zone is intended to implement the vision for Highway 111 to evolve into a mixeduse central boulevard – characterized by strong urban buildings with active ground-floor uses and frontages that provide services and amenities to the adjacent neighborhoods, inject the corridor with daily human activity, and establish a clear and attractive identity for the corridor that is unique to the

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1135 of 1638 City of Indio. The Neighborhood General (NG) zone provides a lively neighborhood environment that offers a variety of housing types and choices within easy walking and biking distance from the numerous neighborhood-serving amenities along the corridor and other activity centers within the zone. Buildings in the NG zone range from neighborhood scale types (“Missing Middle Housing”) to more urban-scale multi-family and mixed-use types whose massing is articulated in increments compatible in size and scale. The NG Zone is organized around a well-connected walkable network of tree-lined neighborhood avenues, streets and paseos, and is punctuated by a robust network of neighborhood parks, greens and community gathering spaces.

The proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 will subdivide four existing parcel (APN’s: 600-240- 005, -016, -020, and -021) totaling approximately 20.20-acres into eight parcels for mixed-use purposes. All future development within the boundaries of Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 will be required to comply with the Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C)/ Neighborhood General (NG) development standards and complete a formal planning review entitlement process to ensure consistency with the City of Indio General Plan 2040 and the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.

II. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent withapplicable general and development agreement in that:

The project proposes to subdivide an existing 20.2-acres (APN’s: 600-240-005, -016, -020, and - 021) acre parcel into eight lots. No new public street dedications are proposed, and the subdivision will be served by existing surrounding roadways, access points and utility connections. Approval of the Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 will establish the lots and provide for the necessary utility and service connections in compliance with the Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C)/Neighborhood General (NG) zoning and Mixed Use Neighborhood/ Connected Neighborhood High land use designation of the General Plan 2040. Development on each lot withing the Madison Pointe Phase 1 project will be required to undergo grading and building permit review to ensure consistency with the Unified Development Code, the General Plan, and applicable City standards. The Project is not within a Development Agreement governing the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision.

III. The site is physically suitable for the type of development in that:

The project site is located at the southwest corner of Highway 111 and Madison Street, within an established urban area of the City of Indio. The parcel is generally flat, contains no significant topographical constraints, and is not located within an area of known geologic instability. Access to the property is available from Highway 111 and Madison Street, which connect to the City’s broader street network. Adequate circulation and utility connections can be provided, ensuring access for vehicles, pedestrians, and emergency services in compliance with City standards. Based on these factors, the proposed subdivision is physically suitable for the intended mixed-use development.

IV. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that:

The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) and Connected Neighborhood High (CNH) and a zoning designation of Mixed-Use Corridor and Neighborhood General under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Under the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) new development has a maximum floor area ratio of 0.5 and a floor area ratio of 0.25 for Connected Neighborhood High. The Mixed Use Corridor zone has a minimum height of 3 stories or 21’ high and a maximum height of 6 stories. The Neighborhood General zone has a maximum height of 4 stories. The project is proposing the following floor area ratio and maximum height as follows:

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1136 of 1638 Table C – Density and Intensity
Lot Lot Size

4 42,688.8 2,400 0.06 20’
7 66,646.8 3,060 0.05 25’
The Project is within the parameters of the floor area ratio requirements and the height/ story requirements. These characteristics demonstrate that the site and the project are physically suitable for the proposed density. The Project does not meet the minimum story requirement of the MixedUse Corridor zone, as it proposes one-story buildings where multi-story development is anticipated.

However, it remains within the applicable floor to area ratio and height standards and may be considered consistent pursuant to the flexibility provisions of the Specific Plan. The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan recognizes that many of the existing 1- and 2-story buildings along the corridor may remain for an indefinite period of time, and that current and near-term market forces may not support the feasibility of 3-story and greater development within some properties within the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone. In order to enable market forces to attract near-term reinvestment to the Mixed-Use Corridor zone, the Specific Plan provides standards and processes whereby limited quantities of lower intensity, more automobile-oriented projects that positively contribute to the economic development and quality of life within a Subarea may be approved in the Mixed-Use Corridor Zone through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process.

V. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that:

The project site is located within a fully urbanized area, surrounded by existing residential and commercial development. The parcels consist of previously disturbed vacant land with compacted soils and minimal vegetation. There are no watercourses, wetlands, or other sensitive habitat areas present on the property. Based on the City’s environmental review, the project qualifies for a CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32 – In-Fill Development) Categorical Exemption, and no significant impacts to biological resources will occur. Therefore, the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

VI. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems in that:

The subdivision proposes 8 parcels; seven numbered lots and one letter lot (see Table B), for mixed use purposes with access to existing urban infrastructure. The Indio Water Authority and Public Works Department have confirmed that adequate water, sewer, and utility services are available to serve the project site. The project will be conditioned to construct or connect to all necessary infrastructure, including sewer laterals, water connections, storm drains, and utilities, in compliance with City standards. With these improvements in place, the subdivision will be adequately served by public infrastructure, and the design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems.

VII. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision in that:

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1137 of 1638 As proposed, Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 does not conflict with any public easements acquired for access or use by the public at large. The site is accessed from existing City streets, and no public access rights will be impaired or altered by the subdivision. The City’s review departments have confirmed that the proposed lot configuration and access do not interfere with existing easements. Therefore, the subdivision’s design is in harmony with existing public easements and access rights.

FINDINGS: PLANNING REVIEW DISCRETIONARY
General Plan 2040 Consistency:

Pursuant to Indio Municipal Code Section 6.04.03, Planning Review, and subject to state law, the Planning Commission must make the following findings for design review approval:

I. General Plan Consistency. Consistency with General Plan policies and any applicable specific plan, project master plan or development agreement.

The City of Indio General Plan Update 2040, adopted on September 18, 2019, breaks up land uses into major classes. These classes are Neighborhoods, Centers, Districts, and Public and Institutional (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The Project site is located in the Neighborhoods major class within the General Plan. The Neighborhoods major class has seven subcategories. These subcategories are: Desert Estates (DE), Desert Estates Transition (DET), Suburban Neighborhood Low (SNL), Suburban Neighborhood High (SNH), Connected Neighborhood Low (CNL), Connected Neighborhood High (CNH), and Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The project site is located in the (CNH) and (MUN) subcategory.

The Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) land use designation provides moderate-to-higher intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and commercial uses along major streets. Primary uses in the MUN subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential uses, parks and recreation, mixed use (retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential, and neighborhood-serving retail), general commercial, services, entertainment, live/work, and office.

The Connected Neighborhood High (CNH) land use provides a range of moderate-intensity housing choices within a walkable neighborhood setting within a short distance of goods and services.

Housing types include small-lot single family detached and attached dwellings of various sizes, courtyard apartments and condos, and medium-sized multifamily buildings designs for neighborhood compatibility. Primary uses in the CNH subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential, including duplex, triplex, quadplex, rowhouses, townhouses, courtyard and small-scale multifamily buildings, and parks and recreation. Secondary uses consist of retail, care, public facilities, guest houses, places of worship, school, family day care homes, and others which are determined to be compatible with and oriented towards serving the needs of neighborhoods and may also be allowed. These uses should be focused along mixed-use corridors or at the edges of center.

The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project will construct three buildings consisting of a Starbucks with drive-through, a marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and a multi-tenant retail building.The Project as proposed

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1138 of 1638 would be permitted within the Mixed Use Neighborhood and Connected Neighborhood High land use designation and would be in compliance with the City of Indio General Plan 2040.

The General Plan 2040 contain goals and policies that are relevant to the Project. The following identifies these goals and policies and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:

Goal LU-1: Citywide Urban Structure. An urban structure that enhances the quality of life of residents, meets the community’s vision for the future, and weaves new growth areas together with established Indio neighborhoods.

LU-1.1: Overall city structure. Establish a clearly defined City Structure by creating mixed-use corridors along Highway 111, Monroe Street, Avenue 42, and Avenue 44 that contain a mix of retail, service, office, and residential uses. Corridors should have defined nodes that provide a mix of local- and regional-serving uses.

The project is proposing a horizontal mixed-use project comprised of different land uses consisting of office and commercial retail, and restaurant uses along Highway 111.

Goal LU-4: High-Quality Building Design. A beautiful city with a high-quality architecture and building design.

LU-4.1 Quality design.Use simple, urban building forms made with permanent materials with high quality detailing that stands the test of time.

The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern lines and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. The project is incorporating materials and architectural finishes designed to complement each other for a cohesive project aesthetic. The primary surfaces feature stucco finishes painted in a range of Sherwin Williams colors with accent elements. The project is also proposing two distinct stone veneers to add texture and provide a layered look.

Storefronts utilize double glazed low-e storefront glazing with anodized aluminum frames for a modern and energy-efficient facade.

LU-4.3 Building materials.Convey façade articulation through the strength, depth, and permanence of building materials. Thinner cladding materials, such as stucco, stone and masonry veneers, and wood or simulated wood, may be used when finished to appear as durable and authentic of the materials they simulate.

The Project is incorporating varying height roof lines creating articulation on each of the three buildings. The primary surface material will be stucco and finished in a range of colors. The project is also proposing to have two distinct stone veneers. The materials that will be utilized will be durable or as authentic of the materials they simulate.

LU-4.4 Building entrances.Use visual and physical design cues within a building’s design and entries to emphasize the building entrance and connections to public spaces.

The Project will be constructing large overhangs over entrances and concrete walkways lined with drought tolerant landscaping. The proposed landscaping will be designed in a manner that lines the

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1139 of 1638 walkaways to emphasize the building entrances and a condition has been added requesting 20’ high palm trees at installation along the main entrance of the project on Highway 111.

LU-4.5 Iconic design. Allow iconic and memorable building designs, particularly on larger nonresidential properties.

The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern aesthetics and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. All three buildings will contain a mix of materials and cohesive earth-tone paint colors that harmonize with the desert environment, and natural stone accents. The project is proposing desert-appropriate landscaping with palms and drought-tolerant plants complements the buildings, while shaded entryways enhance comfort and functionality.

Proposed design blends modern elements with materials and features suited to the arid climate, creating an inviting and visually cohesive development.

LU-4.6 Climate-appropriate design. Encourage the use of building techniques and materials that relate to Indio’s warm and dry desert climate. Promote solar control and use of shade in building design and associated pedestrian amenities.

The Project will be constructing various building overhangs that will provide shade for pedestrian walkways. The Project landscape will utilize desert native and drought resistant trees, shrubs, and cacti. The proposed trees will be lined across the parking lot to shade proposed parking. The Project is also proposing the inclusion of a solar panel canopy system demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and modern technology integration within the design.

II. Standards Consistency. Consistency with applicable objective development standards and design standards and/or design guidelines adopted by the City Council.

On September 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10326 adopting the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The following identifies land use regulations and development standards relevant and applicable to the Project and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:

Highway 111 Corridor Specific (111 CSP) Plan & Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit Compliance:

Section 2.1: Vision for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 2.1 states that "The Highway 111 Corridor will be transformed from a suburban highway commercial strip, into a lively, dynamic center of social, cultural and economic activity for the city of Indio - respecting the Corridor's history and context, building on its existing amenities, reflecting community desires, and leveraging evolving economic opportunities for the benefit of the entire community." The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project is being evaluated for consistency with applicable provisions of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (111 CSP) and the approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited land uses within Subarea 8 with approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council.

Section 2.3.1 West Gateway
The project site is located within the West Gateway is the segment of the corridor from the western city limits - just west of Jefferson St - to the west edge of the “S-curve” of 111, where Clinton St and

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1140 of 1638 Dr Carreon Blvd intersect Hwy 111. The West Gateway Segment of the Corridor is flanked by large vacant or underdeveloped parcels, who’s identity and character may be defined by the new, palmlined Highway 111 and fine new community activity centers offering retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment and recreation, along with a wide array of new housing options within the mixed-use centers and surrounding new and existing neighborhoods.

Section 3 Development Standards & Guidelines
Section 3.1.C.3 (Relationship to Indio Municipal Code and Unified Development Code) specifies that this Chapter relies on several existing procedural requirements of the Indio Municipal Code (IMC) and/or Unified Development Code (UDC), where noted. In cases where this Chapter is silent, the requirements of the IMC or UDC shall apply (as prescribed in those documents). In cases where there is conflict between the requirements of this Chapter and those of the IMC or UDC, the requirements of this Chapter shall supersede.

Section 3.2.G.3.A (Council Approval Required) of the Specific Plan specifies that the following Limited Uses shall require City Council approval inclusive of fueling stations, car washes and any use including a vehicular drive-through.

Pursuant to Table 3.4.2 of the Specific Plan, the project site is located within Subarea 8 and has been assigned regulatory designations consisting of Mixed-Use Corridor Zone and Neighborhood General Zone and has also been assigned a Master Planned Design Overlay designation.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.1 of the Specific Plan, the Master Planned Design Overlay defines specific parcels or areas within the 111 CSP area that due to their size and/or location, require an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. The applicant has satisfied this requirement and has obtained a Master Planned Development Permit approval from the Planning Commission.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.2 of the Specific Plan, the Mixed Use Corridor Zone is intended to implement the vision for Highway 111 to evolve into a mixed-use central boulevard - characterized by strong urban buildings with active ground-floor uses and frontages that provide services and amenities to the adjacent neighborhoods, inject the corridor with daily human activity, and establish a clear and attractive identity for the corridor that is unique to the City of Indio.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.3 of the Specific Plan, the Neighborhood General Zone provides a lively neighborhood environment that offers a variety of housing types and choices within easy walking and biking distance from the numerous neighborhood-serving amenities along the corridor and other activity centers within the zone. Buildings in the NG zone range from neighborhood-scale/ "houseform" types (a.k.a "Missing Middle Housing"), to more urban-scale "block-form" multi-family and mixed-use types whose massing is articulated in increments compatible in size and scale. The NG Zone is organized around a well-connected walkable network of tree-lined neighborhood avenues, streets and paseos, and is punctuated by a robust network of neighborhood parks, greens and community gathering spaces.

Pursuant to Section 3.5 (Allowed Uses) of the Specific Plan addresses allowed land uses within the boundaries of the Specific Plan and corresponding permit requirements for each regulatory zone, as applicable. Table 3.5-1 (Allowed Uses) of the Specific Plan specifies general retail, restaurants and commercial markets are permitted in the Mixed Use Corridor zone and Neighborhood General zone.

The applicant is also proposing a drive-through associated with the restaurant. Section 3.14 provides a discretionary pathway for Limited land uses which includes any drive-throughs by requiring a Conditional Use permit approved by the City Council.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1141 of 1638 Pursuant to Section 3.6, the standards of this section shall apply to any parcel within the Master Planned Design Overlay in Figure 3.4-1, or for any proposed development greater than 4 acres in size. The project site is 20.2 acres in size and is therefore subject to the provisions of this section.

The applicant received Planning Commission approval of the Master Planned Development (MDP) Permit on November 21, 2022. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 proposal serves as the first implementing project for the approved MDP.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.A.2.a, all new development must complete and/or support-and in no way impede-the required connections and intersections which appear in their subarea. The project site is located in Subarea 8. Figure 3.6-1 identifies required and recommended connections through the project site. Specifically, required connections are shown in north/south and east/west orientations in the northern portion of the site while recommended connections are shown in north/south and east/west orientations in the southern portion of the project site. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.b, required connections form links through and between Subareas and are required to be multi-modal streets with vehicular access and shall be further be designed as Avenues (per Section 3.7.B.4.a) or Neighborhood Streets (per Section 3.7.B.4.c). Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.d, recommended connections are included as suggested ways to meet the Block Standards of Section 3.6.C, but their quantity and placement is flexible. Recommendations for how some of these connections can be implemented are included in Table 3.6-2. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project is proposing an east/west vehicular circulation route and an east/west pedestrian circulation (see Pedestrian Circulation plan) route through the northern portion of the project site along Highway 111 meeting the location and multi-modal standards for the required connections element of this section and the Conceptual Connectivity Plan of the Master Planned Development Permit.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.a, types which satisfy the connectivity requirements of this section shall be public. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.a.i, "Public" means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible-providing public right-of-way-at all times, regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.b, vehicular driveways, parking lots, and alleys are intended for vehicular access but not active mobility modes. Accordingly, when designed in accordance with the standards of this Plan they may provide access within blocks, but they shall not be interpreted to define any block perimeter for the purposes of this section. Pursuant to Section

3.6.B.2.c, public ways should be calibrated to the context. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project does not clearly specify that the proposed on-site connections are "public" pursuant to the provisions of this section. As such, a condition will be included to assure compliance with this section.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed Use Corridor zone and the Neighborhood General zone is 1,600 feet. Pursuant to Section

3.6.C.2.a, per Table 3.6-1, all blocks shall be defined-or in other words: bound at their perimeter-by one or more of the following types of public connections or open spaces: Street, Car-less Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a.i, a block may be bound on no more than one (1) side by a Car-less Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b, types which define a block shall be public and shall not be private or semi-public. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b.i, "Public" means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible-providing public right-of-way-regardless of ownership.

The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project provided a Perimeter Standard Block Calculation plan which demonstrates three blocks of which none exceed 1,600 feet. The perimeter block size for the multitenant retail is 821 feet, for the drive-through restaurant and commercial pad 3 is 1,033 feet, and for the general market and L3 charging station is 956 feet. The project as proposed meets and exceeds this requirement.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1142 of 1638 Pursuant to Section 3.7 (Public Realm Standards), the project provides enhanced streetscape improvements along the Highway 111 frontage. These include pedestrian sidewalks, droughttolerant landscaping, and direct connections to existing and new pedestrian infrastructure associated with the project. The streetscape design reinforces the pedestrian-oriented vision of the corridor by creating a safe, visually appealing, and walkable environment. Vehicular access is provided through existing and new driveway entries that minimize conflicts with pedestrian paths and preserve the continuity of the sidewalk.

Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section 3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that the proposed development within the Specific Plan area promotes a pedestrian-friendly environment along the street by placing buildings at the front of the site and locating parking at the center or the back of the site. Table 3.8-1 (Building Placement) specifies building placement standards that are applicable to properties that are located within the Mixed-Use Corridor regulatory zone. This Table specifies that the Highway 111 build to range should be 0 feet to 15 feet, that the front street build out should be 100 percent, that there is no side street build to range, that the side street build out should be 80 percent for the first 40 feet with no buildout requirement after 40 feet, that the building length should be a maximum of 300 feet, and that there are no building setback requirements except for a 10-foot separation between multiple buildings on a single lot. Section 3.14 (Limited land uses in the MU-C Zone) and more specifically Section

3.14.A.3.1.c.iv specifies that the Frontage Buildout requirements listed in Table 3.8-1 may be waived provided buildings conform to the requirements of the rest of this Section. The multi-tenant building (pad 1) fronting Highway 111 complies with the specified 15-foot build to range that is the area within which the building should be constructed. Pad 2 and is proposed to be setback 51 feet to accommodate a drive-through isle as part of their request for a limited land use through a conditional use permit. The project site design of the new cross-circulation patterns, parking, and the drive-through aisle and stacking for the tenant on Pad 2 allows for parking to be located at the center and back of the site while still offering pedestrian connectivity to the project. The proposed building length for Pad 1 approximately is 92 feet and 25 feet for Pad 2, thereby complying with the maximum building length standard. All the proposed buildings along Highway 111 have over a tenfoot setback separation to new or existing buildings therefore, the project site complies with the specified building setback requirements. Additionally, the building placement along Highway 111 substantial complies with the Illustrative Site Plan approved with Master Planned Development Permit.

Pursuant to Section 3.9 (Building Height) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for building height and vertical proportions that apply to all new buildings within the boundaries of the Specific Plan.

The Mixed Use Corridor zone has a minimum height of 3 stories or 21’ high and a maximum height of 6 stories. The Neighborhood General zone has no minimum height and a maximum height of 4 stories. Building height for the multi-tenant retail, and general store is between 25’ and 29’ meeting the height requirement of their respective zone. The drive-through restaurant building is proposing a height of 20’. However, Section 3.14 explicitly allows single-story commercial buildings as part of the Limited Land Use (LLU) provisions to accommodate near-term investment that contributes to corridor revitalization. Subarea 8 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan allows for up to two (2) Limited Land Uses. The proposed project would be the first LLU approved within Subarea 8. The proposed buildings are single-story with an overall height of approximately 20 feet, featuring parapet walls and architectural treatments that enhance their visual presence along the street. While this height does not meet the standard MU-C minimum height requirement, it is compliant under the Limited Land Use provisions and is designed to ensure the buildings integrate well into the existing commercial context while supporting phased corridor transformation. The project is proposing the following maximum building heights as follows:

Table D – Building Height

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1143 of 1638 Lot Proposed Use Building Height
3 Retail 26’-2”
4 Restaurant w/Drive-through 20’
7 General Market & L3 EV Charging 25’
Pursuant to Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that large-scale ("block-form") buildings, are modulated into smaller "human-scale" increments and composition to generate more dynamic and interesting streetscapes and result in more resilient buildings that are adaptable over time to meet the varied needs of different tenants and uses. Requires commercial buildings along Highway 111 to incorporate street-facing facades with architectural articulation, transparency, and pedestrian orientation. For Limited Land Uses, Section 3.14 permits primary entrances to face away from the street, provided the street-facing façade maintains the appearance of a front elevation.

For the proposed project, the primary customer entrances will be located on Highway 111 between the buildings of Lot 4 and Lot 5 the buildings include articulated storefront elements with large overhangs for shade, parapet treatments, the buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. These features collectively ensure that the façade maintains a visually attractive appearance as required for Limited Land Uses. Additionally, the project is conditioned to install a traffic signal lining up with Bermuda Palms across from the project site.

Section 3.11 (Private Signage) of the Specific plan regulates the design, size, placement, and approval of private signage within the MU-C and NC zoning districts. The Specific Plan identifies certain sign types that are permitted by right; however, Section 3.11.A.2 states that any sign type not expressly listed and permitted by right may only be approved by the Planning Commission through Design Review (Planning Review Discretionary). The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project has included a sign packet along with their conceptual plans with standards for reviewing monument, wall-mounted and window signs for individual tenants. Pursuant to Section 3.11.A.2, the Planning Review Discretionary process allows the Planning Commission to evaluate the proposed sign packet and its contents consistency with the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, including corridor aesthetics, visual compatibility, and protection of the public realm.

Section 3.11.B General Standards – The following standards are applicable to all private signage within the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan:
a. Signs shall not obscure building entrances, cornices, columns, or other prominent architectural elements.

As proposed, monument, wall, and window signs do not obstruct buildings’ entrances, architectural features, or prominent design elements of the new commercial buildings and therefore meets this standards.
b. A maximum of three allowed sign types shall be allowed on a building or massing increment unless stated otherwise.

The applicant is proposing two sign types per building (wall signs and window signs) in accordance with the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Sections 3.11.C.1.a and 3.11.C.1.b. While the maximum height for tenant signs generally remains consistent with the standards, an exception is requested for graphical wall signage, increasing the maximum height from 30 inches to 5 feet.

Additionally, the applicant seeks to raise the maximum allowable sign width percentage for tenant

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1144 of 1638 signs from 60% to 70%. The proposal includes five multi-tenant monument signs, four of which are located along Highway 111 as permitted, but one is proposed for Madison Street, requiring a deviation since monument signs are only allowed on Highway 111. Furthermore, the applicant requests approval for a center project identification sign measuring 49 feet 6 inches in width and 6 feet 8 inches in height, which exceeds the Specific Plan’s maximum sign width of 10 feet and approaches the maximum height limit of 7 feet. The proposed deviations enhance the commercial center’s visual identity by integrating the architectural elements from the building’s design form into the signage.
c. Phone numbers and email addresses shall be prohibited from being displayed on any of the allowed sign types, with the exception of front yard signs.

The applicant is not proposing to display phone numbers and email addresses. Conditions of approval will prohibit the display of phone numbers and email address for the project. d. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-of-way and properties.

The proposed sign package prohibits animated lights or other moving sign components. All proposed channel letter will be aluminum face and back-lit illuminated and are permitted under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. This standard is consistent with the intent of Section 3.11 to minimize light and glare and prevent adverse impacts to surrounding right-of-way and properties. e. Directory signs are small wall signs located at pedestrian eye level and intended to identify multiple tenants within a building or complex.

The applicant is not proposing any directory signs as part of this submittal sign package. However any future signs not explicitly regulated by this sign package will be reviewed following the standards of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 3.11. f. Internal illuminated “Cabinet Signs” and/or “channel letters” shall be prohibited for all signage.

Signage will be externally illuminated, and channel letter will comply with the standards of this section, provided that the letter are either back-lit or externally illuminated.

Pursuant to Section 3.12 (Parking) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for surface parking and structured parking including the number of parking spaces and parking design standards. Table

3.12-1 specifies the minimum parking requirements for retail, office, residential and restaurant uses.

The project is proposed to have approximately 10,900 square feet of commercial retail uses that would require a minimum of 29 parking spaces at a ratio of 2 spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail. The project proposes to have 86 stalls which meets and exceeds the minimum requirements.

Table E – Parking Provided

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1145 of 1638 Pursuant to Section 3.13 (Site Design) specifies standards for the design and location of various site design elements for the purpose of the health, safety, and general welfare of the immediate occupants of each building, and for the neighborhood. This section addresses utility access and equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, telecommunication devices, wet utilities, service entrances and waste disposal areas, fence and wall heights, entrance arbors, lighting, landscaping, stormwater and open space. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan with their submittal packet and a condition of approval requiring evidence on the final landscape plan submitted for administrative review and approval will be required. Additionally, the project will be conditioned that meters and similar equipment shall be located in underground vaults or in utility rooms/closets within buildings, were possible and that if such locations are infeasible, these services shall be located in inconspicuous locations along the sides of project sites and shall be thoroughly screened from public view. Furthermore, the project will be conditioned to provide and meet the requirements of this Section.

Pursuant to Section 3.14 (Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone) specifies standards for Limited land uses within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. Section 3.14.2.a-i address applicability of the standards in this Section including but not limited to applying only to properties in the Mixed Use Corridor zone, limited land uses consisting of freestanding single-use (pad) commercial buildings with and without drive-through service facilities, office/light industrial buildings, adaptive re-use of existing commercial/industrial buildings and parking lots that occupy greater percentages of one or more street frontages than prescribed by the standards of Sections 3.8 and 3.12. This provision allows for the development of freestanding single-story commercial buildings in the Mixed-Use Corridor (MUC) zone to support interim economic reinvestment, even if such development does not meet all MUC form-based standards, including minimum building height or complete frontage buildout. The proposed development activates a long partially vacant parcel, introduces new commercial activity, enhances the corridor’s visual character through landscaping and pedestrian-scale design features, and aligns with the Specific Plan’s intent to encourage short-term reinvestment while preserving long-term planning goals.

According to Table 3.14-1, Subarea 8 permits up to two (2) Limited Land Use approvals. Based on current records, no other LLU approvals have been issued within Subarea 8, and this project would represent one (1) of the two allowed. The project meets the physical and design criteria for a Limited Land Use and is being processed through Planning Review consistent with the Specific Plan’s procedures and the approved Master Planned Development Permit.

Conditional Use Permit Findings:

Section 3.1.C.3 (Relationship to Indio Municipal Code and Unified Development Code) of the Specific Plan specifies that this Chapter relies on several existing procedural requirements of the Indio Municipal Code (IMC) and/or Unified Development Code (UDC). Table 3.5-1 (Allowed Uses) specifies that all drive-through restaurant land uses are subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit approval and that the issuance of this approval shall ultimately be by the City Council following review and issuance of a recommendation by the Planning Commission. Pursuant to Indio UDC Section 6.04.04, the Planning Commission must make the following findings in order to approve or conditionally approve PLAN-CUP-25-0006 for the Madison Pointe Phase 1 project. The inability to make one or more of these findings is grounds for denial of the application.

1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Code and all other titles of the Municipal Code.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1146 of 1638 The project site is zoned Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) and Neighborhood General (NG) under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. General retail, restaurants, and convenience markets are permitted uses under both zones. Limited land uses such as drive-through restaurants require a Conditional Use Permit and approved by the City Council (PLAN-CUP-25-0006). All other applicable provisions, including parking, signage, and building code requirements, have been addressed through this discretionary review and are subject to conditions of approval.

2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.

The project is consistent with the City of Indio General Plan 2040 designations of Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) and Connected Neighborhood High (CNH), as well as the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited land uses within Subarea 8 with approval of a CUP by the City Council. The proposed uses support the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor by transforming into a lively mixed-use area with retail, commercial, and pedestrian-oriented corridors. The project promotes goals LU-1 and LU-4 of the General Plan, which call for a defined citywide urban structure and high-quality building designs.

The project also complies with the Illustrative Site Plan approved through the Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit.

3. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.

The site is located in an established urban area with adequate vehicle, pedestrian, emergency access, and utility services. The proposed subdivision and development meet all health and safety standards, including stormwater retention, landscaping, and infrastructure improvements. The project is not located near sensitive habitat or geologic constraints. All improvements are designed to protect public health and safety, and the project is not expected to cause harm to surrounding properties or the community.

4. The proposed use complies with any design or development standards applicable to the zoning district or the use in question unless waived or modified pursuant to the provisions of this Code.

While the project includes variations such as single-story buildings below the MU-C minimum height requirement, these can be approved under the Limited Land Use provisions (Section 3.14) to facilitate near-term economic revitalization. The project complies with development standards for floor area ratio, building height (within the exceptions), parking, building placement, signage, and site design. Certain minor deviations, such as front setback distances for some pads, are approved pursuant to CUP and Limited Land Use provisions.

5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.

The project is located in a mixed-use corridor with adjacent vacant, residential, commercial, and agricultural uses, all consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations. The development’s scale, building heights, and uses are compatible with the existing surrounding neighborhoods and support planned future mixed-use growth. The project maintains compatibility by incorporating pedestrian amenities, landscaping, and appropriate building articulation, and by including access roads that connect to the surrounding street network without disrupting existing uses or community character.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1147 of 1638

6. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.

The site consists of four vacant parcels totaling approximately 20.20 acres, with no significant topographic or geologic constraints. Access is available via existing and proposed driveways from Highway 111 and Madison Street, with a planned signalized intersection to improve circulation. The site can be served by existing utilities (water, sewer, stormwater) as confirmed by city departments.

The proposed densities and building sizes are within the allowable floor area ratios and height requirements (with conditional use permit exceptions). Stormwater management and landscape plans are in place to support the development sustainably.

Conclusion:

Based on the foregoing staff findings, staff conclude that the Madison Pointe Phase 1 Project meets; with the application of conditions of approval, the standards and requirements for the Plan Review Discretionary (PLAN-PRD-25-0018), Conditional Use Permit (PLAN-CUP-25-0006) allowing one limited land use to allow a drive-through restaurant and Tentative Tract Map No. 34804 (PLAN-TTM25-0004) pursuant to applicable provisions of the adopted Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and approved Master Planned Development Permit.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The City of Indio, as Lead Agency, has reviewed the Project pursuant to: 1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(k) – General Concepts, the three-step process for deciding which document to prepare for a Project subject to CEQA; and 2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 – Review for Exemption, procedures for determining if a Project is exempt from CEQA. It can be seen with certainty that the Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-fill Development) and Section 15183 (Projects consistent with a community plan or zoning). Further, there is no substantial evidence indicating that any of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the Project.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO,
CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Incorporation Of Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by reference and constitute a material part of this Resolution.

SECTION 2. Environmental Evaluation. Section 6.03.06 of the Unified Development Code states that all “projects” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) shall be reviewed for compliance with, or exemption from, CEQA and its Guidelines. Environmental review for the proposed project was conducted pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines). The City of Indio, acting as Lead Agency, determined that the proposed Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-fill Development) and Section 15183 (Projects consistent with a community plan or zoning). Accordingly, no further environmental documentation is required.

SECTION 3. Planning Review Findings. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, including the staff report, the City Council hereby finds and determines the project complies with the necessary findings as required by the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the Master Planned Development Permit for Planning Case File No. PLAN-PRD-24-0018 as follows:

Pursuant to Indio Municipal Code Section 6.04.03, Planning Review, and subject to state law, the City Council must make the following findings for design review approval:

I. General Plan Consistency. Consistency with General Plan policies and any applicable specific plan, project master plan or development agreement.

The City of Indio General Plan Update 2040, adopted on September 18, 2019, breaks up land uses into major classes. These classes are Neighborhoods, Centers, Districts, and Public and Institutional (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The Project site is located in the Neighborhoods major class within the

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1154 of 1638 6 General Plan. The Neighborhoods major class has seven subcategories. These subcategories are: Desert Estates (DE), Desert Estates Transition (DET), Suburban Neighborhood Low (SNL), Suburban Neighborhood High (SNH), Connected Neighborhood Low (CNL), Connected Neighborhood High (CNH), and Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) (Table 3-2: General Plan Types, City of Indio GPU 2040). The project site is located in the (CNH) and (MUN) subcategory.

The Mixed Use Neighborhood (MUN) land use designation provides moderate-tohigher intensity neighborhood development that features a variety of multifamily housing choices and commercial uses along major streets. Primary uses in the MUN subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential uses, parks and recreation, mixed use (retail/office, retail/residential, office/residential, and neighborhood-serving retail), general commercial, services, entertainment, live/work, and office.

The Connected Neighborhood High (CNH) land use provides a range of moderateintensity housing choices within a walkable neighborhood setting within a short distance of goods and services. Housing types include small-lot single family detached and attached dwellings of various sizes, courtyard apartments and condos, and medium-sized multifamily buildings designs for neighborhood compatibility. Primary uses in the CNH subcategory consist of but are not limited to single-family and multi-family residential, including duplex, triplex, quadplex, rowhouses, townhouses, courtyard and small-scale multifamily buildings, and parks and recreation. Secondary uses consist of retail, care, public facilities, guest houses, places of worship, school, family day care homes, and others which are determined to be compatible with and oriented towards serving the needs of neighborhoods and may also be allowed. These uses should be focused along mixed-use corridors or at the edges of center.

The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project will construct three buildings consisting of a Starbucks with drive-through, a marketplace (convenience store) building with an L3 Energy Ultra-Fast Charging Station with commercial battery storage and a multitenant retail building. The Project as proposed would be permitted within the Mixed Use Neighborhood and Connected Neighborhood High land use designation and would be in compliance with the City of Indio General Plan 2040.

The General Plan 2040 contain goals and policies that are relevant to the Project.

The following identifies these goals and policies and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:

Goal LU-1: Citywide Urban Structure. An urban structure that enhances the quality of life of residents, meets the community’s vision for the future, and weaves new growth area together with established Indio neighborhoods.

LU-1.1: Overall city structure. Establish a clearly defined City Structure by creating mixed-use corridors along Highway 111, Monroe Street, Avenue 42, and

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1155 of 1638 7 Avenue 44 that contain a mix of retail, service, office, and residential uses.

Corridors should have defined
nodes that provide a mix of local- and regional-serving uses.

The project is proposing a horizontal mixed-use project comprised of different land uses consisting of office and commercial retail, and restaurant uses along Highway 111.

Goal LU-4: High-Quality Building Design. A beautiful city with a highquality architecture and building design.

LU-4.1 Quality design. Use simple, urban building forms made with permanent materials with high quality detailing that stands the test of time.

The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern lines and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. The project is incorporating materials and architectural finishes designed to complement each other for a cohesive project aesthetic. The primary surfaces feature stucco finishes painted in a range of Sherwin Williams colors with accent elements. The project is also proposing two distinct stone veneers to add texture and provide a layered look.

Storefronts utilize double glazed low-e storefront glazing with anodized aluminum frames for a modern and energy-efficient facade.

LU-4.3 Building materials. Convey façade articulation through the strength, depth, and permanence of building materials. Thinner cladding materials, such as stucco, stone and masonry veneers, and wood or simulated wood, may be used when finished to appear as durable and authentic of the materials they simulate.

The Project is incorporating varying height roof lines creating articulation on each of the four buildings. The primary surface material will be stucco and finished in a range of colors. The project is also proposing to have two distinct stone veneers.

The materials that will be utilized will be durable or as authentic of the materials they simulate.

LU-4.4 Building entrances. Use visual and physical design cues within a building’s design and entries to emphasize the building entrance and connections to public spaces.

The Project will be constructing large overhangs over entrances and concrete walkways lined with drought tolerant landscaping. The proposed landscaping will be designed in a manner that lines the walkaways to emphasize the building entrances and a condition has been added requesting 20’ high palm trees at installation along the main entrance of the project on Highway 111.

LU-4.5 Iconic design. Allow iconic and memorable building designs, particularly on larger non-residential properties.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1156 of 1638 8 The Project is proposing contemporary commercial architectural design with clean, modern aesthetics and a combination of materials and colors for visual interest. The buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. All four buildings will contain a mix of materials and cohesive earth-tone paint colors that harmonize with the desert environment, and natural stone accents. The project is proposing desert-appropriate landscaping with palms and drought-tolerant plants complements the buildings, while shaded entryways enhance comfort and functionality. Proposed design blends modern elements with materials and features suited to the arid climate, creating an inviting and visually cohesive development.

LU-4.6 Climate-appropriate design. Encourage the use of building techniques and materials that relate to Indio’s warm and dry desert climate. Promote solar control and use of shade in building design and associated pedestrian amenities.

The Project will be constructing various building overhangs that will provide shade for pedestrian walkways. The Project landscape will utilize desert native and drought resistant trees, shrubs, and cacti. The proposed trees will be lined across the parking lot to shade proposed parking. The Project is also proposing the inclusion of a solar panel canopy system demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and modern technology integration within the design.

II. Standards Consistency. Consistency with applicable objective development standards and design standards and/or design guidelines adopted by the City Council.

On September 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10326 adopting the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. The following identifies land use regulations and development standards relevant and applicable to the Project and makes findings of fact regarding if and how the Project complies with them:

Highway 111 Corridor Specific (111 CSP) Plan & Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit Compliance:

Section 2.1: Vision for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 2.1 states that "The Highway 111 Corridor will be transformed from a suburban highway commercial strip, into a lively, dynamic center of social, cultural and economic activity for the city of Indio - respecting the Corridor's history and context, building on its existing amenities, reflecting community desires, and leveraging evolving economic opportunities for the benefit of the entire community." The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project is being evaluated for consistency with applicable provisions of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (111 CSP) and the approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit. Although drive-throughs are not part of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan’s vision to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment, they are permitted as Limited Land

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1157 of 1638 9 Uses within Subarea 8 with an approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council.

Section 2.3.1 West Gateway
The project site is located within the West Gateway is the segment of the corridor from the western city limits - just west of Jefferson St - to the west edge of the “Scurve” of 111, where Clinton St and Dr Carreon Blvd intersect Hwy 111. The West Gateway Segment of the Corridor is flanked by large vacant or underdeveloped parcels, who’s identity and character may be defined by the new, palm-lined Highway 111 and fine new community activity centers offering retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment and recreation, along with a wide array of new housing options within the mixed-use centers and surrounding new and existing neighborhoods.

Section 3 Development Standards & Guidelines
Section 3.1.C.3 (Relationship to Indio Municipal Code and Unified Development Code) specifies that this Chapter relies on several existing procedural requirements of the Indio Municipal Code (IMC) and/or Unified Development Code (UDC), where noted. In cases where this Chapter is silent, the requirements of the IMC or UDC shall apply (as prescribed in those documents). In cases where there is conflict between the requirements of this Chapter and those of the IMC or UDC, the requirements of this Chapter shall supersede.

Section 3.2.G.3.A (Council Approval Required) of the Specific Plan specifies that the following Limited Uses shall require City Council approval inclusive of fueling stations, car washes and any use including a vehicular drive-through.

Pursuant to Table 3.4.2 of the Specific Plan, the project site is located within Subarea 8 and has been assigned regulatory designations consisting of Mixed-Use Corridor Zone and Neighborhood General Zone and has also been assigned a Master Planned Design Overlay designation.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.1 of the Specific Plan, the Master Planned Design Overlay defines specific parcels or areas within the 111 CSP area that due to their size and/or location, require an approved Master Planned Development (MPD) Permit.

The applicant has satisfied this requirement and has obtained a Master Planned Development Permit approval from the Planning Commission.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.2 of the Specific Plan, the Mixed Use Corridor Zone is intended to implement the vision for Highway 111 to evolve into a mixed-use central boulevard - characterized by strong urban buildings with active ground-floor uses and frontages that provide services and amenities to the adjacent neighborhoods, inject the corridor with daily human activity, and establish a clear and attractive identity for the corridor that is unique to the City of Indio.

Pursuant to Section 3.4.C.3 of the Specific Plan, the Neighborhood General Zone provides a lively neighborhood environment that offers a variety of housing types

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1158 of 1638 10 and choices within easy walking and biking distance from the numerous neighborhood-serving amenities along the corridor and other activity centers within the zone. Buildings in the NG zone range from neighborhood-scale/ "house-form" types (a.k.a "Missing Middle Housing"), to more urban-scale "block-form" multifamily and mixed-use types whose massing is articulated in increments compatible in size and scale. The NG Zone is organized around a well-connected walkable network of tree-lined neighborhood avenues, streets and paseos, and is punctuated by a robust network of neighborhood parks, greens and community gathering spaces.

Pursuant to Section 3.5 (Allowed Uses) of the Specific Plan addresses allowed land uses within the boundaries of the Specific Plan and corresponding permit requirements for each regulatory zone, as applicable. Table 3.5-1 (Allowed Uses) of the Specific Plan specifies general retail, restaurants and commercial markets are permitted in the Mixed Use Corridor zone and Neighborhood General zone. The applicant is also proposing a drive-through associated with the restaurant (coffee shop). Section 3.14 provides a discretionary pathway for Limited Land Uses which include any drive-through by requiring a Conditional Use permit approved by the City Council.

Pursuant to Section 3.6, the standards of this section shall apply to any parcel within the Master Planned Design Overlay in Figure 3.4-1, or for any proposed development greater than 4 acres in size. The project site is 20.2 acres in size and is therefore subject to the provisions of this section. The applicant received Planning Commission approval of the Master Planned Development (MDP) Permit on November 21, 2022. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 proposal serves as the first implementing project for the approved MDP.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.A.2.a, all new development must complete and/or supportand in no way impede-the required connections and intersections which appear in their subarea. The project site is located in Subarea 8. Figure 3.6-1 identifies required and recommended connections through the project site. Specifically, required connections are shown in north/south and east/west orientations in the northern portion of the site while recommended connections are shown in north/south and east/west orientations in the southern portion of the project site.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.b, required connections form links through and between Subareas and are required to be multi-modal streets with vehicular access and shall be further be designed as Avenues (per Section 3.7.B.4.a) or Neighborhood Streets (per Section 3.7.B.4.c). Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.1.d, recommended connections are included as suggested ways to meet the Block Standards of Section 3.6.C, but their quantity and placement is flexible.

Recommendations for how some of these connections can be implemented are included in Table 3.6-2. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project is proposing an east/west vehicular circulation route and an east/west pedestrian circulation (see Pedestrian Circulation plan) route through the northern portion of the project site along Highway 111 meeting the location and multi-modal standards for the required connections element of this section and the Conceptual Connectivity Plan of the Master Planned Development Permit.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1159 of 1638 11 Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.a, types which satisfy the connectivity requirements of this section shall be public. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.a.i, "Public" means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible-providing public right-of-wayat all times, regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.b, vehicular driveways, parking lots, and alleys are intended for vehicular access but not active mobility modes. Accordingly, when designed in accordance with the standards of this Plan they may provide access within blocks, but they shall not be interpreted to define any block perimeter for the purposes of this section. Pursuant to Section 3.6.B.2.c, public ways should be calibrated to the context. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project does not clearly specify that the proposed on-site connections are "public" pursuant to the provisions of this section.

As such, a condition will be included to assure compliance with this section.

Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.1/Table 3.6.3 (Maximum Block Size), the maximum block perimeter for the Mixed Use Corridor zone and the Neighborhood General zone is 1,600 feet. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a, per Table 3.6-1, all blocks shall be defined-or in other words: bound at their perimeter-by one or more of the following types of public connections or open spaces: Street, Car-less Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.a.i, a block may be bound on no more than one (1) side by a Car-less Street, Plaza/Green, Neighborhood Park, or Mini Park. Pursuant to Section 3.6.C.2.b, types which define a block shall be public and shall not be private or semi-public. Pursuant to Section

3.6.C.2.b.i, "Public" means those spaces and connections which are publicly accessible-providing public right-of-way-regardless of ownership. The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project provided a Perimeter Standard Block Calculation plan which demonstrates three blocks of which none exceed 1,600 feet. The perimeter block size for the multi-tenant retail is 821 feet, for the drive-through restaurant and Pad 3 is 1,033 feet, and for the general market and L3 charging station is 956 feet. The project as proposed meets and exceeds this requirement.

Pursuant to Section 3.7 (Public Realm Standards), the project provides enhanced streetscape improvements along the Highway 111 frontage. These include pedestrian sidewalks, drought-tolerant landscaping, and direct connections to existing and new pedestrian infrastructure associated with the project. The streetscape design reinforces the pedestrian-oriented vision of the corridor by creating a safe, visually appealing, and walkable environment. Vehicular access is provided through existing and new driveway entries that minimize conflicts with pedestrian paths and preserve the continuity of the sidewalk.

Section 3.8 (Building Placement and Access) and more specifically Section 3.8.B.1 specifies standards to ensure that the proposed development within the Specific Plan area promotes a pedestrian-friendly environment along the street by placing buildings at the front of the site and locating parking at the center or the back of the site. Table 3.8-1 (Building Placement) specifies building placement standards that are applicable to properties that are located within the Mixed-Use Corridor

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1160 of 1638 12 regulatory zone. This Table specifies that the Highway 111 build to range should be 0 feet to 15 feet, that the front street build out should be 100 percent, that there is no side street build to range, that the side street build out should be 80 percent for the first 40 feet with no buildout requirement after 40 feet, that the building length should be a maximum of 300 feet, and that there are no building setback requirements except for a 10-foot separation between multiple buildings on a single lot. Section 3.14 (Limited Land Uses in the MU-C Zone) and more specifically Section 3.14.A.3.1.c.iv specifies that the Frontage Buildout requirements listed in Table 3.8-1 may be waived provided buildings conform to the requirements of the rest of this Section. Buildings fronting Highway 111 do not comply with the specified 15-foot build to range that is the area within which the building should be constructed and is proposed to be setback 35 for the building on pad 1 and 51 feet for the buildings on Pad 2 and Pad 3. The project site design of the new crosscirculation patterns, parking, and the drive-through aisle and stacking for the tenants on Pad 2 and Pad 3 allows for parking to be located at the center and back of the site while still offering pedestrian connectivity to the project. The proposed building length for Pad 1 approximately is 92 feet, 25 feet for Pad 2 and 27 feet for Pad 3, thereby complying with the maximum building length standard. All the proposed buildings along Highway 111 have over a ten-foot setback separation to new or existing buildings therefore, the project site complies with the specified building setback requirements. Additionally, the building placement along Highway 111 substantially complies with the Illustrative Site Plan approved with Master Planned Development Permit.

Pursuant to Section 3.9 (Building Height) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for building height and vertical proportions that apply to all new buildings within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. The Mixed Use Corridor zone has a minimum height of 3 stories or 21’ high and a maximum height of 6 stories. The Neighborhood General zone has no minimum height and a maximum height of 4 stories. Building height for the multi-tenant retail, and general store is between 25’ and 29’ meeting the height requirement of their respective zone. The drive-through restaurant building is proposing a height of 20’. However, Section 3.14 explicitly allows singlestory commercial buildings as part of the Limited Land Use (LLU) provisions to accommodate near-term investment that contributes to corridor revitalization.

Subarea 8 of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan allows for up to two (2) Limited Land Uses. The proposed project would be the first LLU approved within Subarea 8. The proposed buildings are single-story with an overall height of approximately 20 to 29 feet, featuring parapet walls and architectural treatments that enhance their visual presence along the street. While this height does not meet the standard MU-C minimum height requirement, it is compliant under the Limited Land Use provisions and is designed to ensure the buildings integrate well into the existing commercial context while supporting phased corridor transformation. The project is proposing the following maximum building heights as follows:

Table D – Building Height
Lot Proposed Use Building

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1161 of 1638 13 Height
3 Retail 26’-2”
4 Restaurant w/Drive-through 20’
7 General Market & L3 EV Charging 25’
Pursuant to Section 3.10 (Facades and Frontages) of the Specific Plan specifies standards to ensure that large-scale ("block-form") buildings, are modulated into smaller "human-scale" increments and composition to generate more dynamic and interesting streetscapes and result in more resilient buildings that are adaptable over time to meet the varied needs of different tenants and uses. Requires commercial buildings along Highway 111 to incorporate street-facing facades with architectural articulation, transparency, and pedestrian orientation. For Limited Land Uses, Section 3.14 permits primary entrances to face away from the street, provided the street-facing façade maintains the appearance of a front elevation.

For the proposed project, the primary customer entrances will be located on Highway 111 between the buildings of Lot 4 and Lot 5 include articulated storefront elements with large overhangs for shade, parapet treatments, the buildings have flat roofs with varying heights creating layered facades. These features collectively ensure that the façade maintains a visually attractive appearance as required for Limited Land Uses. Additionally, the project is conditioned to install a traffic signal lining up with Bermuda Palms across from the project site.

Section 3.11 (Private Signage) of the Specific plan regulates the design, size, placement, and approval of private signage within the MU-C and NC zoning districts. The Specific Plan identifies certain sign types that are permitted by right; however, Section 3.11.A.2 states that any sign type not expressly listed and permitted by right may only be approved by the Planning Commission through Design Review (Planning Review Discretionary). The Madison Pointe Phase 1 project has included a sign packet along with their conceptual plans with standards for reviewing monument, wall-mounted and window signs for individual tenants.

Pursuant to Section 3.11.A.2, the Planning Review Discretionary process allows the Planning Commission to evaluate the proposed sign packet and its contents consistency with the intent of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, including corridor aesthetics, visual compatibility, and protection of the public realm.

Section 3.11.B General Standards – The following standards are applicable to all private signage within the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan:
a. Signs shall not obscure building entrances, cornices, columns, or other prominent architectural elements.

As proposed, monument, wall, and window signs do not obstruct buildings’ entrances, architectural features, or prominent design elements of the new commercial buildings and therefore meets this standards.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1162 of 1638 14 b. A maximum of three allowed sign types shall be allowed on a building or massing increment unless stated otherwise.

The applicant is proposing two sign types per building (wall signs and window signs) in accordance with the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Sections

3.11.C.1.a and 3.11.C.1.b. While the maximum height for tenant signs generally remains consistent with the standards, an exception is requested for graphical wall signage, increasing the maximum height from 30 inches to 6 feet. Additionally, the applicant seeks to raise the maximum allowable sign width percentage for tenant signs from 60% to 70%. The proposal includes five multi-tenant monument signs, four of which are located along Highway 111 as permitted, but one is proposed on Madison Street, requiring a Planning Commission approval since monument signs are only allowed on Highway 111. Furthermore, the applicant requests approval for a center project identification sign measuring 49 feet 6 inches in width and 6 feet 8 inches in height, which exceeds the Specific Plan’s maximum sign width of 10 feet and approaches the maximum height limit of 7 feet. The proposed deviations enhance the commercial center’s visual identity by integrating the architectural elements from the building’s design form into the signage. c. Phone numbers and email addresses shall be prohibited from being displayed on any of the allowed sign types, with the exception of front yard signs.

The applicant is not proposing to display phone numbers and email addresses. Conditions of approval will prohibit the display of phone numbers and email address for the project.
d. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-of-way and properties.

The proposed sign package prohibits animated lights or other moving sign components. All proposed channel letter will be aluminum face and back-lit illuminated and are permitted under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.

This standard is consistent with the intent of Section 3.11 to minimize light and glare and prevent adverse impacts to surrounding right-of-way and properties.
e. Directory signs are small wall signs located at pedestrian eye level and intended to identify multiple tenants within a building or complex.

The applicant is not proposing any directory signs as part of this submittal sign package. However any future signs not explicitly regulated by this sign package will be reviewed following the standards of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Section 3.11.

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1163 of 1638 15 f. Internal illuminated “Cabinet Signs” and/or “channel letters” shall be prohibited for all signage.

Signage will be externally illuminated, and channel letter will comply with the standards of this section, provided that the letter are either back-lit or externally illuminated.

Pursuant to Section 3.12 (Parking) of the Specific Plan specifies standards for surface parking and structured parking including the number of parking spaces and parking design standards. Table 3.12-1 specifies the minimum parking requirements for retail, office, residential and restaurant uses. The project is proposed to have approximately 10,900 square feet of commercial retail uses that would require a minimum of 29 parking spaces at a ratio of 2 spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail. The project proposes to have 86 stalls which meets and exceeds the minimum requirements as shown below:

Table E – Parking Provided
Lot Proposed Use Parking Stalls
3 Retail 31
4 Restaurant w/Drive-through 26
7 General Market & L3 EV Charging 29
Total Parking Provided 86
Pursuant to Section 3.13 (Site Design) specifies standards for the design and location of various site design elements for the purpose of the health, safety, and general welfare of the immediate occupants of each building, and for the neighborhood. This section addresses utility access and equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, telecommunication devices, wet utilities, service entrances and waste disposal areas, fence and wall heights, entrance arbors, lighting, landscaping, stormwater and open space. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan with their submittal packet and a condition of approval requiring evidence on the final landscape plan submitted for administrative review and approval will be required. Additionally, the project will be conditioned that meters and similar

Resolution Nos. 10600, 10601, and 10602 , Review of Planning Commission ... Page 1164 of 1638 16 equipment shall be located in underground vaults or in utility rooms/closets within buildings, were possible and that if such locations are infeasible, these services shall be located in inconspicuous locations along the sides of project sites and shall be thoroughly screened from public view. Furthermore, the project will be conditioned to provide and meet the requirements of this Section.

Pursuant to Section 3.14 (Limited Uses in the MU-C Zone) specifies standards for Limited Land Uses within the boundaries of the Specific Plan. Section 3.14.2.a-i address applicability of the standards in this Section including but not limited to applying only to properties in the Mixed Use Corridor zone, limited land uses consisting of freestanding single-use (pad) commercial buildings with and without drive-through service facilities, office/light industrial buildings, adaptive re-use of existing commercial/industrial buildings and parking lots that occupy greater percentages of one or more street frontages than prescribed by the standards of Sections 3.8 and 3.12. This provision allows for the development of freestanding single-story commercial buildings in the Mixed-Use Corridor (MU-C) zone to support interim economic reinvestment, even if such development does not meet all MU-C form-based standards, including minimum building height or complete frontage buildout. The proposed development activates a long partially vacant parcel, introduces new commercial activity, enhances the corridor’s visual character through landscaping and pedestrian-scale design features, and aligns with the Specific Plan’s intent to encourage short-term reinvestment while preserving longterm planning goals.

According to Table 3.14-1, Subarea 8 permits up to two (2) Limited Land Use approvals. Based on current records, no other LLU approvals have been issued within Subarea 8, and this project would represent one (1) of the two allowed. The project meets the physical and design criteria for a Limited Land Use and is being processed through Planning Review consistent with the Specific Plan’s procedures and the approved Master Planned Development Permit.
