OF INTEREST CODE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 605 on second reading.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 On October 17, 2023, Council introduced Ordinance No. 605 for first reading to amend Chapter 2.60 of the La Quinta Municipal Code relating to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.
 The purpose of the Code is to specifically designate positions that make or participate in the making of governmental decisions, which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interests of the persons holding those positions.  City officials in the positions designated on the City’s Conflict of Interest Code must disclose their financial interests annually and refrain from participation in any decision(s) that may affect them financially.

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The annual Statement of Economic Interest filings are the basis for the transparency that the California’s Political Reform Act (PRA) requires of public officials. Statements of Economic Interest are public documents filed with the City Clerk.

Review of the City’s positions, duties, and influence of public officials has resulted in the following recommended changes to Chapter 2.60 of the Municipal Code due to organizational changes over the last year to better align positions with the City’s ability to provide high-level services to its community:

Add the following titles as designated positions for “limited disclosure” filing:
 Associate Planner
 Community Services Deputy Director

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES WITH DESERT CONCEPTS CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR ON-CALL PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE SERVICES PROJECT NO. 2022-16 TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AUTHORITY FOR UP TO $550,000 OF WORK IN FISCAL YEAR 2023/24

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement for Contract Services with Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. for on-call public works maintenance services Project No. 2022-16 to increase the contract authority for up to $550,000 of work in fiscal year 2023/24; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Per the purchasing policy, combined amounts paid to vendors/contractors over $50,000 must be approved by the City Council.
• In May 2022, Desert Concepts Construction, Inc., (Desert Concepts) was awarded an agreement for on-call public works maintenance services (On-Call Services).

This provides flexibility to complete emergency, daily and/or deferred maintenance in a timely manner.
• The proposed Amendment No. 2 will increase the spending authority for fiscal year (FY) 2023/24 from $350,000 to a not to exceed amount of $550,000, as City parks and retention areas were damaged from Tropical Storm Hilary (Hilary) and Desert Concepts performed repairs in a timely manner.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the FY 2023/24 budget in various maintenance accounts (101-3005; 101-3008; 215-7004; 101-2002; 202-3004; 202-3006-60691; and 501-0000-71103; 601- 0000-60660; 101-7003-60103) and will be charged to the appropriate account depending on services rendered. If approved, the total amount that can be paid to Desert Concepts for FY 2023/24 would increase from $350,000 to not exceed $550,000 for maintenance services. Remaining years under the Initial Term or any Extended Terms of the Agreement would remain at $350,000.

CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 4
29 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The purchasing policy requires Council approval for purchases and/or contracts over $50,000. To date in FY 2023/24 the City has utilized Desert Concepts for a variety of services totaling over $330,000. Some of this work includes storm damage repairs from Hilary at SilverRock Event Park ($19,600); the X-Park ($96,450) and the retention basin ($49,000) adjacent to Adams Park.

Staff anticipates additional maintenance repairs in FY 2023/24 such as the trellises at the Cove Oasis; fencing repairs along the Bear Creek Trail; exterior building paint maintenance and refresh at City Hall, the Wellness Center, and Library; and roof repairs at City Hall, Fire Station 70, and SilverRock. Desert Concepts can also address any unanticipated maintenance items that may come up in the remainder of FY 2023/24.

In May 2022, Desert Concepts was awarded an agreement for On-Call Services. They have a history of providing quality work, the ability to mobilize quickly, and will bid on prevailing wage projects. They have performed a wide range of services including emergency repairs, general construction, concrete sidewalk repairs, heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations, electrical, plumbing, landscape, irrigation, and asphalt repairs.

In March 2023, Council approved Amendment No. 1, increasing the annual contract authority from $200,000 to a not to exceed amount of $350,000, in order to keep up with the current job market and rising costs.

If approved, Amendment No. 2 (Attachment 1) would allow staff to continue to utilize Desert Concepts for emergency and maintenance services on an as-needed basis for a not to exceed amount of $550,000 for FY 2023/24.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may deny this request or direct staff to seek Council approval for any future work with Desert Concepts, however, staff does not recommend this as it could adversely affect work schedules.

The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.

The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds. Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 7, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE CANCELLATION OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 2, 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Approve cancellation of the regular City Council meeting of January 2, 2024.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 The City Manager and Executive Team have reviewed pending items and determined that there is no need to hold the January 2, 2024, City Council meeting.  Advance notice of cancelled meetings allows Councilmembers, Staff, and the public to properly plan for deadlines and workflow.

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be cost savings consisting of the time and materials associated with production and delivery of one agenda packet.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City Manager and the Executive Team have reviewed the items requiring Council consideration, and all matters that require Council review have been scheduled for the two Council meetings in December 2023 and the second Council meeting in January 2024. Thus, there is no need to hold a Council meeting on January 2, 2024. The City’s Annual Community Workshop is anticipated to be held on February 29, 2024.

The recommended December/January regular meetings schedule is:
 December 5, 2023 regular meeting
 December 19, 2023 regular meeting
 January 2, 2024 CANCEL
 January 16, 2024 regular meeting
 February 29, 2024 Council/Community Workshop
Should a pressing situation or matter requiring Council direction or action before the next regular meeting arise, a special meeting would be called.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 7, 2023

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES

COORDINATOR WITH COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE PART-TIME EMERGENCY SERVICE COORDINATOR

POSITION

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Agreement for Emergency Services Coordinator Services with County of Riverside Emergency Management Department to provide a part-time Emergency Service Coordinator position; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement substantially in the form attached, allowing for minor and non-substantive changes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 County of Riverside (County) through its Emergency Management Department (EMD), provides emergency management services to cities.  In the past, the City has had an in-house Emergency Service Coordinator (ESC) and has also contracted with County to provide this service. However, given the current job market trends, this in-house position has not been filled. Therefore, staff recommends contracting this service through County.  The addition of a part-time ESC will address the City’s need for active management regarding prevention, preparedness, recovery, and response to emergencies.

Currently, EMD only has a part-time ESC available to assign to City.  If approved, the ESC will be the City’s emergency management point of contact and will be responsible for the coordination of emergency services matters including training of City staff and residents, and will represent the City at meetings, events, and functions.

FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost associated with a part-time ESC position for one year is $80,000. If this agreement is approved, its term will commence on November 13, 2023 and end on June 30, 2024; estimated cost for the eight-month contract is $56,000, which includes approximately $5,000 in overtime costs related to official City business outside of normal business hours (after 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday and weekends), (Exhibits A and B of the agreement). Funds are available in the General Fund – Fire Budget for fiscal year 2023/24.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In the event of an emergency, the City and its employees must do everything possible to protect and preserve residents’ safety. An ESC is vital to emergency planning, staff training, community outreach, coordinating exercises, grant management, emergency response, and post-event recovery. Due to current job market trends, the hiring of a fulltime ESC has not been feasible; similarly, the County currently can only offer a part-time ESC.

The part-time ESC will be dedicated to the City for 20-hours a week; this person would be responsible for the following services, outlined in detail in Exhibit A:

1.1 Comprehensive emergency management program: The ESC will coordinate a comprehensive program with the overall mission of serving the public to effectively support and recover from a major emergency or disaster, utilizing all standards and applicable laws and regulations within the discipline of emergency management.

1.2 Point of contact: The ESC is the City emergency management point of contact and will be responsible for the coordination with all City personnel and departments and represent the City at all meetings, events, functions, etc., as required.

1.3 Collaboration: The ESC will partner with all local, county, state and federal government agencies, special districts, the private sector, community entities, volunteer and non-profit organizations as necessary in all phases of emergency management.

1.4 Service to Public: The ESC will provide service to the public on matters covered in this agreement consistent with established policies and procedures that promote courteous, efficient service and good public relations.

The ESC would be located at City Hall and work a 20-hour week. The position would be integrated into the Public Safety Department, which allows for coordinated response with public safety personnel.

ALTERNATIVES
As County EMD is a qualified service provider with specialized knowledge of emergency management response and the City must provide emergency service management, staff does not recommend an alternative.

 The Commission reviewed the changes at their October 10, 2023, regular meeting and recommended Council approve the changes.

FISCAL IMPACT – None

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Applicant is proposing the La Quinta Village Apartments: a 252-unit, multi-family apartment project on the site, which would include 178 market-rate units and 74 moderateincome affordable units. The project is located on a 14.03-acre vacant parcel, bordered by a residential community to the north, Washington Street to the west, vacant land to the east, and Avenue 50 to the south. Development on the project site was previously approved under La Paloma SP 2004-071 on December 7, 2004, for a multi-unit senior community with independent living, assisted living and memory care units. The La Paloma SP is currently effective for the project site. The current General Plan designation for the site is MHDR (Medium High Density Residential); zoning for the site is RMH (Medium High Density Residential).

Public Hearings
The project was previously heard by the Commission on March 28 and June 27, 2023. The commission recommended adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and a favorable recommendation for the General Plan Amendment (GPA).

General Plan Amendment
The project site is identified on the City’s inventory of sites in its Housing Element to accommodate 280 residential units in the very low- and low-income categories. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 (commonly referred to as the state “No Net Loss Law”), a jurisdiction must maintain adequate sites to accommodate its remaining unmet regional housing need allocation (RHNA) by each income category. If a jurisdiction approves a development of a parcel identified in its Housing Element sites inventory with fewer units, per income category, than shown in the Housing Element, it must either make findings that the Housing Element’s remaining sites have sufficient capacity to accommodate the remaining unmet RHNA by income level or identify and make available sufficient sites to accommodate the remaining unmet RHNA for each income category. The City is responsible for compliance with the No Net Loss Law, unless a project applicant(s) request in their initial application, as submitted, a density that would result in the remaining sites in the Housing Element not being adequate to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing. While the project includes 74 moderate-income units and 178 market-rate units, the project does not include units in the very low-and low-income categories.

Therefore, the Applicant must identify additional site(s) that could accommodate 280 very low-and low-income units. This requires a GPA to add another site to the inventory of sites in the Housing Element.

The Applicant has identified an additional site, a 12.74-acre property identified as Site 6 on the draft Housing Element amendment (Attachment 2). Site 6 is located at the northeast corner of Washington Street and Fred Waring Drive and is in a Community Commercial zone that also has the Affordable Housing Overlay and Mixed Use Overlay, which allows for mixed use development – both multi-family residential and commercial development (Attachment 4). The Affordable Housing Overlay allows for a density of up to 30 units per acre and the Mixed Use Overlay allows for mixed use projects up to 24 units per acre. At 280 units, Site 6 would have a density of 22 units per acre, which is consistent with other affordable housing developments in the region. This site is within a “High Resource” area, in that it is immediately adjacent to schools, is in close proximity to businesses on Highway 111 and on Washington Street, and close to job areas which provides for economic opportunities.

There is no planned development on Site 6 at this time. The site has been identified only as having the capacity to support 280 units of low- and very low-income affordable housing.

If the GPA is approved, including the project as proposed, the City would then re-submit its Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This project is conditioned to not move forward with the “subordinate” entitlements and permits, such as the Specific Plan Amendment, Site Development Permit, and the ensuing construction until and unless HCD has approved the amendment to the Housing Element.

Density Bonus
The project is proposing 74 units to be designated for moderate-income households, as defined by the City’s Density Bonus Section of the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), 97 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
found at https://library.municode.com/ca/la_quinta/codes/municipal_code?nodeId=TIT9ZO_CH9.60SURERE_9.60.260DEBOAFHO, which was recently revised to be consistent with current state density bonus law. With 74 moderate income designated units, the project is allowed a 50% density bonus, which would allow for a total of 252 units on the Site. Per the LQMC, a condition would be placed for the project to enter into an agreement with the City to ensure that 74 units are reserved for moderate-income occupants. The agreement ensures continued affordability for a period of 55 years or longer; such agreement shall run with the land, shall be binding upon all successors in interest of the applicant, and shall be recorded in the office of the Riverside County Recorder.

Specific Plan
The project requires an amendment of the current La Paloma SP to reflect the proposed project (Exhibit C to proposed Resolution). The La Paloma SP contains detailed development principles, guidelines, and programs to facilitate the development of a multiunit senior housing community. The amended SP (SP 2022-0001) would supersede the La Paloma SP and would detail the development principles, standards, guidelines and use standards for the new La Quinta Village Apartments project.

The amended SP establishes some development standards that differ from the LQMC zoning standards, including:
 Maximum structure height of 28 feet (ft) within 150 ft of image corridor (Washington Street and Avenue 50); current zoning limits the maximum structure height at 22 ft within 150 ft of image corridor.
 Carports allowed within front yard setback; current zoning does not allow any structures, including carports, within front yard setback.  Minimum livable area of 670 square feet (sf); current zoning requires a minimum livable area of 750 sf.
 Allowance of fencing and retention basins within perimeter landscape setbacks; current zoning does not allow fencing or retention basins within setback.

These standards are allowed to be different with approval of the SP. Projects with affordable housing incorporated are allowed several concessions from the LQMC but the project is proposing for these additional standards to occur within the SP and are not requesting any concessions. All other development standards as they relate to setbacks, heights, lighting standards, open space requirements, and requirements for multi-family projects have been met, including a minimum 75 ft setback from their eastern property line to meet a setback requirement from the Coachella Valley Water District’s stormwater channel.

SP and current zoning standards are provided in the table below for comparison. Standards differing from the zoning code are highlighted.

Site Development Permit
In order to accommodate all two-story buildings and keep the proposed 252 units, the site plan layout has been reconfigured to include 12 buildings (Attachment 3).

A breakdown of the 252 total units is as follows:
 74 of the units are moderate-income affordable deed restricted units  178 are market rate
 166 units are one (1) bedroom units
o 60 are 673 sf, 106 are 755 sf
 86 units are two (2) bedroom units:
o All are 960 sf
Parking
With the revision of the site plan layout, 528 parking spaces are proposed, which is a ratio of 2.09 spaces per unit. The 528 parking spaces exceeds the minimum required parking of 319 spaces. Of the provided spaces, 359 are covered by carports. With the elimination of garages, there are 37 less covered spaces. The carports are at a maximum height of 11 ft and incorporate architecture to match the rest of the development.

Building Design
The architectural style has been revised from contemporary Mediterranean to Spanish Hacienda style. Architectural elements include trellises on second floors to reduce massing and arches, recessed niches, and crown moulding with stucco finish. The color palette consists of earth tones, and incorporates blues, grays, and purples as accents.

Landscaping
Landscaping is proposed throughout the project site, including along Washington Street and Avenue 50, as described within the SP. The landscaping remains substantially the same as the prior iteration except for removal of artificial turf. 99 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Agency Review
All written comments received are on file and available for review with the Design and Development Department. All applicable comments have been adequately addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended Conditions of Approval.

Public Hearing Notice
This project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on October 27, 2023, and distributed to properties within 1,000 feet of the Site. Staff have received written comments from the public stating their opposition, with concerns regarding traffic, noise, and views (Attachment 4).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Design and Development Department (Department) prepared a MND consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Exhibit A to EA 2022-0001 Resolution) and circulated it for public review from March 3, 2023, through March 23, 2023, as prescribed by the CEQA Guidelines. The Department determined that the project would have less than significant effects on the environment, with mitigation measures incorporated. The City received eleven (11) public comments during the public review period regarding the traffic, biological, energy, and cultural resources. None of the comment letters triggered modifications to the MND.

ALTERNATIVES
 Council can elect to approve the project as recommended.  Council may modify the recommended approvals and direct staff to explore alternative sites to Site 6 to identify the capacity for 280 low- and very-low affordable housing units.
 Council may reject the project proposal and deny the General Plan Amendment.

Denial of the General Plan Amendment would render the other applications moot.

1 INTRODUCTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 1 March August 2023 Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview
Troutdale Village, LLC. (hereafter, “Applicant”) is proposing to develop the Desert SageLa Quinta Village Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 Project (hereafter, “Project”), which consists of 252 dwelling units in the City of La Quinta (hereafter, “City”), in Riverside County, California. The Project site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 and is comprised of one parcel totaling approximately

14.03 acres. Currently, the Project site is vacant and is bordered by a residential community to the north, Washington Street to the west, vacant land to the east, and Avenue 50 to the south.

The proposed Project will require the following entitlements from the City: 1) Specific Plan Amendment to replace the previous La Paloma Specific Plan (now called Desert SageLa Quinta Village Specific Plan) for the Project site and substitute for the City of La Quinta Municipal Code and 2) Site Development Permit to allow for the development of 252 dwelling units and associated site improvements.

1.2 Authority
The City of La Quinta is the lead agency for the proposed Project. The City Council is the governing body for the approval of the Project and adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Because the Project involves a change to the existing site, the City Council’s consideration of the Project and its potential environmental effects is a discretionary action that is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Subsequent Initial Study (IS) and its appendices have been prepared in accordance with CEQA (Statute), the State’s Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (Guidelines) (as amended, 2018), and the City’s CEQA Guidelines for preparation of an IS. This IS, when combined with the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, serves as the environmental document for the proposed Project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000, et seq.).

1.3 Scope of Environmental Review
The IS evaluates the proposed Project’s potential environmental impacts on the following topics:
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural and Forestry Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Energy
• Geology and Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning

1 INTRODUCTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 2 March August 2023

1.4 Impact Assessment Terminology
The Environmental Checklist identifies potential impacts using four levels of significance as follows:
• No Impact. A finding of no impact is made when it is clear from the analysis that the proposed project would not affect the environment.
• Less than significant. A finding of less than significant is made when it is clear from the analysis that a proposed project would cause no substantial adverse change in the environment and no mitigation is required.
• Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. A finding of less than significant with mitigation incorporated is made when it is clear from the analysis that a proposed project would cause no substantial adverse change in the environment when mitigation measures are successfully implemented by the project proponent.
• Potentially Significant. A finding of potentially significant is made when the analysis concludes that the proposed project could have a substantially adverse impact on the environment related to one or more of the topics listed in the previous section, Scope of the Initial Study.

1.5 Organization of the Initial Study
The content and format of this IS meet the requirements of CEQA. This IS contains the following sections:
• Chapter 1 Introduction. This chapter provides a brief summary of the proposed Project, identifies the lead agency, summarizes the purpose and scope of the IS, and identifies documents incorporated by reference.
• Chapter 2 Project Description. This chapter provides a project overview including a description of the regional location and Project vicinity, including Exhibits; and provides a description of the Project elements, e.g., dimensions of the Project, and identifies other agencies that may have permitting authority over the Project.
• Chapter 3 Environmental Checklist. This chapter provides a copy of the City’s Environmental Checklist and responses to each question posed in the checklist. This chapter also provides a brief description of the sources used to evaluate the proposed Project, a brief description of the existing conditions for each topic, and an analysis of potential environmental impacts. Mitigation measures are also identified where necessary.
• Chapter 4 List of Preparers. This chapter identifies City staff and consultants who were responsible for the preparation of this IS and implementation of the Project.

1.6 Documents Incorporated by Reference

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 4 March August 2023 Chapter 2 Project Description

2.1 Project Location and Setting
As detailed in Exhibit 1 Regional Map, and Exhibit 2, Vicinity Map, the Project site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 in the City of La Quinta (City), in Riverside County, California. The Project site encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 646-070-016.

Existing General Plan Designation
The Project site is designated as “Medium/High Density Residential” under the City’s General Plan 2035 Land Use Map. The Medium/High Density Residential designation is designed to accommodate a broad range of residential land uses, including small-lot divisions, duplex, condominium, and apartments. The maximum density of this land use designation is 16 dwelling units per acre.

Existing/Proposed Zoning Designation
The Project site is zoned “Medium High Density Residential (RMH)” and within an Affordable Housing Overlay per the City’s Official Zoning Map and Municipal Code. Per the City’s Municipal Code Section 9.30.060, the purpose of the RMH zoning designation is to provide for the development and preservation of medium-high density neighborhoods (eight to twelve dwelling units per acre), except as provided in Section 9.40.020. The Applicant is proposing a Change of Zone to change the Project site’s zoning designation from RMH to “High Density Residential (RH),” which allows up to 16 units per acreto keep the RMH zoning and apply a Density Bonus which would result in 16 units per acre. The Affordable Housing Overlay designation would remain.

Existing Specific Plan Designation
The entire Project site is located within the La Paloma Specific Plan (SP 04-071) which would be called Desert SageLa Quinta Village Specific Plan (Specific Plan 2022-0001, SP 04-071 Amendment).

Surrounding Land Uses
The Project site is bordered by a residential community located immediately north; to the west, the Project site is bordered by Washington Street and beyond is a residential community; to the east, the Project site is bordered by a dry channel and beyond is La Quinta Middle School, YMCA, and the Boys and Girls Club; and to the south, the Project site is bordered by Avenue 50 and beyond is vacant, undeveloped land.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 5 March August 2023 Existing Utility Infrastructure
Existing utility infrastructure at the Project site consists of an 18-inch Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) waterline beneath Washington Street and Avenue 50. Additionally, sewer mains are located on the west side of the site in Washington Street and on the south side of the site in Avenue 50. There are existing power poles located on Washington Street, Avenue 50, and the north property line, which may be undergrounded if practical and allowed by Imperial Irrigation District (IID).

2.2 Project Description
As shown in both Exhibit 3, Site Plan, the proposed Project involves the development of 11 12 two- and threestory apartment buildings totaling 284 252 dwelling units on a 14.03-acre property. The proposed apartment buildings would have a maximum height of 40 28 feet. Of the 284 252 dwelling units, 214 178 will be marketrate units and 70 74 will be moderate-income affordable units. The Applicant also proposes associated site improvements including landscaping, utility infrastructure, parking spaces, an internal roadway, a clubhouse, pool and spa, barbeque areas, putting course, pickleball court, tot lot, and dog park for the residents. The Project would contain two retention basins along the western side of the Project site and some smaller retention basins throughout the site.

The Project would provide for a total of 520 522 parking spaces, including 456 458 standard spaces, 12 accessible spaces, and 52 future electric vehicle (EV) capable spaces or as required by CalGreen standards. The Project also would provide two bicycle parking racks, for a total of four spaces.

Primary Project access would be provided along the Project site’s frontage on Washington Street. The proposed secondary access would be provided along the Project site’s frontage on Avenue 50. The internal circulation is a driveway around the perimeter of the site, which would not consist of dead-ends. This design also provides easy access for the fire department and trash collector to all proposed buildings on the site. Street improvements to the Project site’s frontages with Washington Street and Avenue 50 would consist of expanded pavement, curb, gutter, median, and sidewalk/bike improvements.

2.3 Project-Related Approvals
The discretionary approvals required by the City include:
• Specific Plan Amendment No. 2022-001
• Change of Zone No. 2022-0002
• Site Development Permit No. 2022-0001
• Adoption of Desert SageLa Quinta Village Specific Plan IS/MND (EA2022-0001) • General Plan Amendment No. 2022-0002
Administrative approvals are required by the City related to the design and construction of stormwater drainage infrastructure, Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) for construction of water and sewer infrastructure and connection to the water and sewer distribution and conveyance systems, and Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board for issuance of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and approval of the Project’s Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). 115 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 6 March August 2023

2.4 Summary of Mitigation Measures
BIO-1 Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than three (3) days prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. Preconstruction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the preconstruction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and should be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors and birds-of-prey. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version).If unavoidable, Project construction activities must begin during the nesting bird season (February 1st through August 31st), a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to initiation of ground disturbance and vegetation removal activities. The nesting pre-construction bird survey shall be conducted by a biologist familiar with identification of avian species known to occur in Riverside County. The nesting bird survey shall be conducted on foot inside the project boundary, including a 300-foot buffer for passerines (songbirds) and a 500-foot buffer for raptors in areas of suitable habitat.

Inaccessible areas will be surveyed using binoculars to the extent practical. If nests are found, an avoidance buffer (dependent upon species, the proposed work activity, the existing disturbances associated with land uses outside of the site) shall be determined and demarcated by the biologist with bright orange construction fencing, flagging, construction lathe, or other means to mark the boundary. If a raptor nest is observed in a tree proposed for removal, the applicant must consult with CDFW. All construction personnel shall be notified of the existence of the buffer zone and avoid entering the buffer zone during nesting season. No ground disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer area until the avian biologist has confirmed the breeding/nesting is completed and the young have fledged. Encroachment into the buffer shall occur only at the discretion of the qualified biologist.

BIO-2 Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City of La Quinta shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee.The Applicant shall pay the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee prior to building permit issuance.

CUL-1 A qualified archaeologist monitor shall be present during any ground disturbing activities during the project construction phase. In the case that archaeological materials are encountered during ground disturbing activities, work in the area shall cease and any deposits shall be treated according to Federal, State, and local guidelines. No further grading is permitted in the area of the discovery until the City approves the appropriate measure to protect the discovered resources.

CUL-2 In the event that human remains are uncovered during ground disturbing activities on the Project site, no further disturbance shall occur, and all work shall cease until the County Coroner has made a 116 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 7 March August 2023 determination of the origin and disposition of the remains. Ground disturbing activities and excavations shall not resume until the following has been addressed:

1. The County Coroner has been contacted and determined that no investigation to the cause of death is required, and

2. If the County Coroner determines that the remains are of Native American decent, the Coroner must notify Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will then determine the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section 5097.98.

GEO-1 Prior to the start of the proposed Project activities, all field personnel will receive a worker’s environmental awareness training on paleontological resources. The training will provide a description of the laws and ordinances protecting fossil resources, the types of fossil resources that may be encountered in the Project area, the role of the paleontological monitor, outlinessteps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery is made and provides contact information for the Project Paleontologist.

The training will be developed by the Project Paleontologist and can be delivered concurrent with other training including cultural, biological, safety, etc.

GEO-2 Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a professional paleontologist will be retained to prepare and implement a PRMMP for the proposed Project. The PRMMP will describe the monitoring required during excavations that extend into older Quaternary (Pleistocene) age sediments, and the location of areas deemed to have a high paleontological resource potential. Parttime monitoring, or spot checking, may be required during shallow ground-disturbances (< 10 feet below ground surface) to confirm that sensitive geologic units are not being impacted. Monitoring will entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench sidewalls.

GEO-3 In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor will have the authority to temporarily divert the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and, if appropriate, collected. If the resource is determined to be of scientific significance, the Project Paleontologist shall complete the following:

1. Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, all work in the immediate vicinity should be halted to allow the paleontological monitor, and/or Project Paleontologist to evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. If the fossils are determined to be potentially significant, the Project Paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) should recover them following standard field procedures for collecting paleontological as outlined in the PRMMP prepared for the Project. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case the paleontologist should have the authority to temporarily direct, divert, or halt construction activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a safe and timely manner.

2. Fossil Preparation and Curation. The PRMMP will identify the museum that has agreed to accept fossils that may be discovered during project-related excavations. Upon completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils collected will be prepared in a properly equipped laboratory to a point ready for curation. Preparation may include the removal of excess matrix from fossil materials and 117 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 8 March August 2023 stabilizing or repairing specimens. During preparation and inventory, the fossils specimens will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level practical prior to curation at an accredited museum. The fossil specimens must be delivered to the accredited museum or repository no later than 90 days after all fieldwork is completed. The cost of curation will be assessed by the repository and will be the responsibility of the client.

GEO-4 Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the Project Paleontologist should prepare a final mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report should include discussion of the location, duration and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific significance of those fossils, and where fossils were curated.

TCR-1 Prior to any ground disturbing activities on the Project site, an approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall be present to monitor the site. Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor may request destructive construction halt and the Monitor shall notify a qualified Archaeologist to investigate and, if necessary, prepare a mitigation plan for submission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office.

3.1.2 Environmental Setting
Scenic views from the Project site consists of the San Bernardino (north, northeast, and northwest), Santa Rosa (southwest), and San Jacinto (west) Mountain Ranges. The San Bernardino, Santa Rosa, and San Jacinto Mountains Ranges rise over the valley floor at elevations consisting of 8,716 feet (2,657 meters), 8,011 feet (2,442 meters), and 11,489 feet (3,502 meters), respectively.

AESTHETICS – Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In non‐urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing
scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? a. Less than Significant Impact The Project site and the vicinity of the Project site do not contain a scenic vista. The nearest scenic vista consists of scenic views of the San Bernardino Mountains located 7.7 miles north of the Project site; Santa Rosa Mountains located approximately 5.0 miles southwest of the Project site; and San Jacinto Mountains located approximately 1.8 miles west of the Project site. Surrounding the Project site, views of the lower elevations of the aforementioned are partially blocked due to existing development and distance from the mountains; however, views of the middle and upper elevations of these mountains are kept visibly intact. As shown in Exhibit 3, Site Plan, the proposed maximum height for residential buildings at 40 28 feet would comply with the City’s Zoning Code. The proposed buildings and site improvements would partially obscure views of the San Bernardino Mountains, Santa Rosa 126 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 17 March August 2023 Mountains, and San Jacinto Mountains – although not substantially more than under existing conditions – and views of these Mountains would continue to be available above the proposed buildings. Therefore, the proposed Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on scenic vistas and impacts would be less than significant.
b. No Impact According to the California Scenic Highway Program, the nearest scenic highway is SR-74, which is located approximately 6.2 miles west of the Project site and is classified as an Officially Designated Scenic Highway. Due to the distance between the Project site and SR-74, the Project site is not visible to vehicles driving along SR-74. In addition, there are no historic buildings nor any unique geologic or topographic features such as rock outcrops, bodies of water, ridges or canyons found on or within the Project site. Therefore, due to topography and intervening development, the proposed Project would not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway. No impact would occur. c. Less than Significant Impact The Project site is located in an urbanized area; therefore, the applicable threshold is whether the project would conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. Under existing conditions, the entire Project site is undeveloped vacant land with sparse desert flora. The surrounding land to the north and west are residential homes, vacant planned residential homes to the south, and a dry channel to the east. Implementation of the Project would result in the visual conversion of the site from vacant, undeveloped land to 284 252 apartment homes. The Project would be compatible with the size, scale, and aesthetic features of other existing homes located to the north, west, and future homes to the south of the Project site. Furthermore, the Project would be required to comply with the applicable development standards and design guidelines in the Desert SageLa Quinta Village Specific Plan and the City of La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), which regulates the visual quality of new development and ensures that new development does not detract from any scenic attributes/qualities in the surrounding area. The existing zoning of RMH provides for homes up to 28’.

LQMC Section 9.50.020, Height Limits and Setbacks Near Image Corridors, requires a maximum height of 22 feet within the first 150 feet from Avenue 50 and Washington Street. An increase above 22’ is permitted subject to a minor use permit per LQMC as described in Footnote 2 of Table 9-2 Residential Development Standards (“Any proposed building height over 22 feet requires minor use permit approval and shall not exceed a maximum building height of the existing zone.”) The Specific Plan will provide modified standards that will allow a maximum height of 40 28 feet within the first 150 feet from Avenue 50 and Washington Street. As noted above, the 28’ is consistent with the maximum permitted building height for homes in the RMH zone. Thus, the Specific Plan which would replace the Minor Use Permit, would be consistent with the provisions of the LQMC. Further, as shown in Exhibit 4, the buildings along the perimeter of the project adjacent to Washing Street and Avenue 50, which will not impact the view of the mountains. The renderings (Exhibit 4) show that the views will not be impacted. Because the Project is in an urbanized area and would not conflict with applicable zoning standards and other regulations governing scenic quality, a less than significant impact would occur from implementation of the Project.
d. Less than Significant Impact Under existing conditions, the Project site contains no sources of artificial lighting. The Project would introduce new sources of lighting, including streetlights and security lighting.

Subject to City review and approval, all Project lighting would be required to conform to regulations, guidelines, and standards established under LQMC Section 9.150.080, Parking Facility Design Standards, and LQMC Section 9.100.150, Outdoor Lighting, which ensures adequate lighting for public safety while also minimizing light pollution, glare, and public nuisances. Mandatory compliance with the City’s Zoning 127 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources

a-e. No Impact According to mapping information available from the California Department of Conservation’s (CDC) Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP), the Project site is classified as Urban and Built-Up Land. Accordingly, the Project site does not contain any lands mapped by the FMMP as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland); therefore, the Project would not convert such Farmland to non-agricultural use. Furthermore, the Project site is not located within a Williamson Act contract. Lastly, the Project site is zoned for Medium/High Density Residential under existing conditions; therefore, the Project would not conflict with zoning for agricultural use or result in the loss of forest land or convert forest land or timberland to non-forest land. Therefore, no impacts would occur.

The Project site is within the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCAQMD is one of the 35 air quality regulatory agencies in the State of California and all development within the SSAB is subject to SCAQMD’s 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (2016 AQMP) and the 2003 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan (2003 CV PM10 SIP). The SCAQMD operates and maintains regional air quality monitoring stations at numerous locations throughout its jurisdiction. The SCAQMD is divided into 38 air-monitoring areas with a designated ambient air monitoring station representative of each area. The Project site is located in the City of La Quinta within the County of Riverside in the Coachella Valley (Area 30). The nearest air monitoring station to the Project site is the Palm 129 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

AIR QUALITY – Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard?
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to
odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of
people?
a. Less than Significant Impact
The SCAQMD has established the AQMP to achieve State and Federal air quality standards. On June 30, 2016, the SCAQMD released its Draft 2016 AQMP. The Plan was approved by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CA EPA) on June 15, 2017. Therefore, the applicable air quality plan for the Project is the SCAQMD 2016 AQMP. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook states that "New or amended General Plan Elements (including land use zoning and density amendments), Specific Plans, and significant projects must be analyzed for consistency with the AQMP." Strict consistency with all aspects of the plan is usually not required. A project should be considered to be consistent with the AQMP if it furthers one or more policies and does not obstruct other policies. The pollutant reducing mechanisms in the AQMP are based, in part, on urban growth projections estimated by the Southern California Associations of Government (SCAG). The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook identifies two key indicators of consistency:

1. Whether the project will result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations or delay timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP.

2. Whether the project will exceed the assumptions in the AQMP in 2016 or increments based on the year of project buildout and phase.
130 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 21 March August 2023 Below, Criterion 1 and Criterion 2 are discussed.

Criterion 1 - Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations? Based on the air quality modeling analysis contained in Appendix A, short-term regional construction air emissions would not result in significant impacts based on SCAQMD regional and local thresholds of significance. In addition, long-term operational impacts would not result in significant impacts based on the SCAQMD local and regional thresholds of significance shown in Tables 10 and 11 of Appendix A.

Based on the information provided above, the proposed Project would be consistent with the first criterion.

Criterion 2 - Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP?
Consistency with the AQMP assumptions is determined by performing an analysis of the proposed Project with the assumptions in the AQMP. The emphasis of this criterion is to ensure that the analyses conducted for the proposed Project are based on the same forecasts as the AQMP. The AQMP is developed through use of the planning forecasts provided in the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) and Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The RTP/SCS is a major planning document for the regional transportation and land use network within Southern California. The RTP/SCS is a long-range plan that is required by federal and state requirements placed on SCAG and is updated every four years. The FTIP provides long-range planning for future transportation improvement projects that are constructed with state and/or federal funds within Southern California. Local governments are required to use these plans as the basis of their plans for the purpose of consistency with applicable regional plans under CEQA. For this Project, the City of La Quinta General Plan’s Land Use Plan defines the long-range land use assumptions that are represented in AQMP.

The Project has a current land use classification of Medium High Density Residential according to the City of La Quinta Official Zoning Map. The proposed Project is to develop the site with a 284252-unit apartment complex on 14.03 acres for a density of approximately 20.218 dwelling units per acre. As the Medium High Density Residential Land Use allows for eight to twelve dwelling units per acre, the Project proposes a zone change to High Density Residential a Density Bonus allowing for up to 16 18 dwelling units per acre. The additional units past the 16 12 dwelling units per acre are part of the Project’s density bonus for providing affordable units. The Project would be seeking an amendment to the City’s General Plan to account for the difference. With approval of the General Plan Amendment, the proposed Project would not result in an inconsistency with the land use designation in the City’s General Plan. Therefore, the proposed Project is not anticipated to exceed the AQMP assumptions for the Project site and is found to be consistent with the AQMP for the second criterion.

Based on the above, the proposed Project would not result in an inconsistency with the SCAQMD AQMP.

Therefore, a less-than-significant impact would occur in relation to implementation of the AQMP. b. Less than Significant Impact The proposed Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard.

Construction Emissions
The Project was analyzed to be operational in 2023; therefore, construction is estimated to start no sooner than the first quarter of 2022 and be completed by 2023. The phases of the construction activities which have been analyzed below are: 1) site preparation, 2) grading, 3) building, 4) paving, and 5) 131 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Construction-Related Regional Impacts
The latest version of the CalEEMod model was used to estimate the on-site and off-site construction emissions. The worst-case summer or winter daily construction-related criteria pollutant emissions from the proposed Project for each phase of construction activities are shown below in Table 2. Since it is possible that building construction, paving, and architectural coating activities may occur concurrently towards the end of the building construction phase, Table 2 also shows the combined regional criteria pollutant emissions from building construction, paving, and architectural coating phases of construction.

Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 23 March August 2023 5 The impacts from Construction related Emissions are fully mitigated.

Table 2, Error! Reference source not found. Construction-Related Regional Criteria Pollutant Emissions shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the regional emissions thresholds during either site preparation, grading, building construction, architectural coating, or the combined building construction, paving, and architectural coatings phases. Therefore, a less than significant regional air quality impact would occur from construction of the proposed Project.

Operational Emissions
The on-going operation of the proposed Project would result in a long-term increase in air quality emissions. This increase would be due to emissions from the Project-generated vehicle trips and onsite area source emissions from the on-going use of the proposed Project.

Operations-Related Regional Criteria Pollutant Analysis The operations-related regional criteria air quality impacts created by the proposed Project have been analyzed through use of the latest CalEEMod model and the input parameters utilized in this analysis have been detailed in Section 6.2.1 of Appendix A. The worst-case summer or winter volatile organic compounds (VOC, NOx, CO, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5) daily emissions created from the proposed Project’s long-term operations have been calculated and are summarized below in Table 3.

Therefore, to be conservative, 1/10th the distance (dividing the mobile source emissions by 10) was used to represent the portion of the overall mobile source emissions that would occur on-site. 133 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 24 March August 2023 The data provided in Table 3 shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the regional emissions thresholds. Therefore, a less than significant regional air quality impact would occur from operation of the proposed Project.

Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative projects include local development as well as general growth within the Project area.

However, as with most development, the greatest source of emissions is from mobile sources, which travel well out of the local area. Therefore, from an air quality standpoint, the cumulative analysis would extend beyond any local projects and when wind patterns are considered, would cover an even larger area. Accordingly, the cumulative analysis for the Project’s air quality must be generic by nature. The Project area is out of attainment for both ozone and PM10 particulate matter. Construction and operation of cumulative projects will further degrade the local air quality, as well as the air quality of the Salton Sea Air Basin. The greatest cumulative impact on the quality of regional air cell will be the incremental addition of pollutants mainly from increased traffic from residential, commercial, and industrial development along with the use of heavy equipment and trucks associated with the construction of these projects. Air quality will be temporarily degraded during construction activities that occur separately or simultaneously. However, in accordance with the SCAQMD methodology, projects that do not exceed the SCAQMD criteria or can be mitigated to less than criteria levels are not significant and do not add to the overall cumulative impact. The Project does not exceed any of the thresholds of significance and therefore is considered less than significant.
c. Less than Significant Impact
Construction-Related Local Impacts
Construction-related air emissions may have the potential to exceed the State and Federal air quality standards in the Project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the Salton Sea portion of the South Coast Air Basin. The proposed Project has been analyzed for the potential local air quality impacts created from construction-related fugitive dust, diesel emissions, toxic air contaminants, and construction-related odor impacts. The emission thresholds were calculated based on the Coachella Valley, source receptor area (SRA) 30, and a disturbance value of four acres per day (see Table 4). The nearest sensitive receptors are the existing dwelling units located adjacent to the north of the Project boundary; therefore, for conservative purposes, the SCAQMD Look-up Tables for 25 meters was used. As shown in Table 5, none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the calculated local emissions thresholds at the nearest sensitive receptors. Therefore, there would be a less-than-significant impact.

Operations-Related Local Impacts
Project-related air emissions may have the potential to exceed the State and Federal air quality standards in the Project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the SSAB. The Project has been analyzed for the potential local CO emissions impacts from Project-generated vehicular trips and from the potential local air quality impacts from on-site operations. The following analyzes the vehicular CO emissions and local impacts from on-site operations.

Local CO Hotspot Impacts from Project-Generated Vehicular Trips CO is the pollutant of major concern along roadways because the most notable source of CO is motor vehicles. For this reason, CO concentrations are usually indicative of the local air quality generated by a roadway network and are used as an indicator of potential local air quality impacts. Local air quality impacts can be assessed by comparing the future without and with project CO levels to the state and federal CO standards of 20 parts per million (PPM) over one hour or 9 ppm over eight hours. 135 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 26 March August 2023 According to the Project’s traffic report prepared by IEG (Appendix E), the Project would generate 1,684 average daily trips. The 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (1992 CO Plan) showed that an intersection which has a daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day would not violate the CO standard. The volume of traffic at Project buildout would be well below 100,000 vehicles and below the necessary volume to even get close to causing a violation of the CO standard. Therefore, no CO “hot spot” modeling was performed and no significant long-term air quality impact is anticipated to local air quality with the on-going use of the proposed Project.

Local Air Quality Impacts from Onsite Operations
Table 6, Local Operational Emissions at the Nearest Receptors, shows the calculated emissions for the proposed operational activities compared with the appropriate Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs).

The LST analysis only includes on-site sources; however, the CalEEMod software outputs do not separate on-site and off-site emissions for mobile sources. For a worst-care scenario assessment, the emissions shown in Table 6 include all on-site Project-related stationary sources and 10% of the Project-related new mobile sources. This percentage is an estimate of the amount of Project-related new vehicle traffic that would occur on-site.

Therefore, the on-going operations of the proposed Project would create a less-than-significant operations-related impact to local air quality due to on-site emissions.

In conclusion, the Project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations and impacts would be less than significant.
d. Less than Significant Impact Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities include the application of materials such as asphalt pavement. The objectionable odors that may be produced during the construction process are of short-term in nature and the odor emissions are expected to cease upon the drying or hardening of the odor producing materials. Diesel exhaust and VOCs would be emitted 136 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 27 March August 2023 during construction of the Project, which are objectionable to some; however, emissions would disperse rapidly from the project site and therefore should not reach an objectionable level at the nearest sensitive receptors. Due to the short-term nature and limited amounts of odor producing materials being utilized, no significant impact related to odors would occur during construction of the proposed Project.

The SCAQMD recommends that odor impacts be addressed in a qualitative manner. An analysis shall determine whether the Project would result in excessive nuisance odors, as defined under the California Code of Regulations and Section 41700 of the California Health and Safety Code, and thus would constitute a public nuisance related to air quality.

Potential sources that may emit odors during the on-going operations of the proposed Project would include odor emissions from vehicle emissions. Due to the distance of the nearest receptors from the Project site and through compliance with SCAQMD’s Rule 402, no significant impact related to odors would occur during the on-going operations of the proposed Project.

• ELMT Consulting, Biological Resources Report for the Troutdale Village Project Located in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California, December 5, 2021 (Appendix B)

3.4.2 Environmental Setting
The City offers unique natural habitats to a range of plants and wildlife due to its climate and natural topography. The City recognizes the value of the wildlands and wildlife and has carefully planned to protect, preserve, and enhance the region’s valuable biological resources. The City is located within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Conservation Plan (CVMSHP). This is a regional plan that is implemented throughout the Coachella Valley in an effort to comply with Federal and State endangered species laws.

A literature review and records search for the site was conducted by ELMT Consulting. The literature search identified 16 special-status plant species, 23 special-status wildlife species, and one special-status plant community as having potential to occur within the City of La Quinta quadrangle.

ELMT also conducted a field survey of the site on November 3, 2021. The Project site is located at an approximate elevation of 42 to 59 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and slopes generally from northeast to southwest. The Project site supports one plant community, alkali scrub, and one land cover type that would be classified as disturbed.
137 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 28 March August 2023 No special-status plants were observed on the Project site during the field investigation. No fish, amphibians, or hydrogeomorphic features that would provide suitable habitat for fish or amphibians were observed on or within the vicinity of the Project site. The Project site provides suitable foraging and cover habitat for reptilian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. The only reptilian species observed during the field investigation were Great Basin whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris tigris) and western side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana elegans). The Project site provides suitable foraging and nesting habitat for avian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. Bird species detected during the field investigation include mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), common raven (Corvus corax), great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and rock pigeon (Columba liva), and verdin (Auriparus flaviceps). The Project site provides suitable foraging and denning habitat for mammalian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. However, most mammal species are nocturnal and are difficult to observe during a diurnal field visit. Mammals detected and/or signs observed during the field investigation include desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), and coyote (Canis latrans). No active nests or birds displaying nesting behavior were observed during the field survey, which was conducted outside of the breeding season. Although subjected to routine disturbance, the ornamental vegetation found on-site has the potential to provide suitable nesting habitat for year-round and seasonal avian residents, as well as migrating songbirds that could occur in the area that area adapted to urban environments. No raptors are expected to nest on-site due to lack of suitable nesting opportunities. Lastly, the Project site is not located within a federally designated Critical Habitat.

a. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated According to the City’s General Plan, the Project site is located within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), which aims to conserve over 240,000 acres of open space and protect 27 plant and animal species.

Special-Status Vegetation Communities & Critical Habitat Analysis According to the field survey conducted by ELMT Consulting on November 3, 2021, the Project site supports one plant community: alkali scrub, which is dominated by hoary saltbush (Atriplex canescens) and is indicative of native bush scrub communities that have been devegetated and allowed to revegetate naturally. Common plant species observed in this plant community include cattle spinach (Atriplex polycarpa), barbwire Russian thistle (Salsola paulsenii), burrobrush (Ambrosia salsola), Mediterranean grass (Schismus barbatus), puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), narrow leaved cryptantha (Cryptantha angustifolia), fanleaf crinklemat (Tiquilia plicata), blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida), creosote (Larrea tridentata), and honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). The Project site supports disturbed areas throughout the Project associated with formerly graded areas, unofficial walkways, and recreational vehicle trails, within utility easements along the western and southern boundaries. These areas can be unvegetated or vegetated with a limited variety of hardy native and non-native plant species such as Mediterranean grass, barbwire Russian thistle, and puncture vine. In addition, the northern boundary of the Project site supports disturbed land where ornamental vegetation has invaded the site from adjacent residential developments. Based on observations made during the field survey, the Project would not impact any special-status vegetation community.

According to literature review, one special-status plant community was identified as having potential to occur within the La Quinta quadrangle: Desert Fan Palm Oasis Woodland. However, based on the results of the field survey above, this and no other special-status plant community was observed on-site; therefore, no special-status plant community would be impacted by Project implementation.

The Project site is also not located within a federally designated Critical Habitat. The nearest designated Critical Habitat to the site is located approximately 1.55 miles to the west for Peninsular bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni). Therefore, the Project would not cause loss or adverse modification of a Critical Habitat and impacts would be less than significant.

Special-Status Plant Species Analysis
According to literature review, 16 special-status plant species were identified as having potential to occur within the La Quinta quadrangle. Species determined to have a potential to occur within the general vicinity of the site are presented in Table D-1 of Appendix B. No special-status plants were observed on the Project site during the field survey conducted on November 3, 2021. Based on habitat requirements for specific species, the availability and quality of on-site habitats, and the isolation of the site and 139 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 30 March August 2023 adjacent open space from nearby habitats, it was determined that the Project site does not have potential to support any of the special-status plant species known to occur in the vicinity of the site and all are presumed to be absent. In addition, the Project site is located outside of the known elevation ranges for the majority of the special-status plant species known to occur in the area. Therefore, Project impacts to special-status plant species would be less than significant.

Special-Status Wildlife Species Analysis
According to literature review, 23 special-status wildlife species were identified as having potential to occur within the La Quinta quadrangle. Species determined to have a potential to occur within the general vicinity of the site are presented in Table D-1 of Appendix B. No special-status wildlife species were observed on-site during the field investigation. Based on habitat requirements for specific species and the availability and quality of on-site habitats, it was determined that the Project site has a moderate potential to support prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) and black-tailed gnatcatcher (Polioptila melaneura). It was further determined that all other special-status wildlife species known to occur in the vicinity of the site do not have potential to occur and are presumed to be absent.

None of the special-status wildlife species are state or federally listed as threatened or endangered. In order to ensure impacts to these avian species do not occur from implementation of the Project, a preconstruction nesting bird clearance survey shall be conducted prior to ground disturbance as described in Mitigation Measure (MM) BIO-1, below. With implementation of MM BIO-1, impacts to special-status avian species would be less than significant.

The Project site provides suitable foraging and cover habitat for species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments that are not special-status species. In conclusion, impacts to reptiles, birds, or mammals would be less than significant.

No active nests or birds displaying nesting behavior were observed during the field survey, which was conducted outside of the breeding season. Although subjected to routine disturbance, the ornamental vegetation found on-site has the potential to provide suitable nesting habitat for year-round and seasonal avian residents, as well as migrating songbirds that could occur in the area that area adapted to urban environments. However, with implementation of MM BIO-1, impacts to migrating songbirds would be less than significant. No raptors are expected to nest on-site due to lack of suitable nesting opportunities. b/c. No Impact No jurisdictional drainage and/or wetland features were observed on the Project site during the field survey. It should be noted that a flood control channel occurs outside of the proposed limits of disturbances, east of the Project site; however, Project activities are not expected to encroach into this channel. Furthermore, no blueline streams have been recorded on the Project site and there is no evidence that the Project contained any streams, riparian habitat, marshes, protected wetlands, vernal pools or sensitive natural communities that would be protected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Therefore, no impact would occur. d. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated The Project site has not been identified as occurring in a wildlife corridor or linkage. The site has limited adjacent open space and available open space is entirely surrounded by existing development, limiting its connectivity to surrounding habitats. In addition, there are no riparian corridors, creeks, or useful patches of steppingstone habitat (natural areas) within or connecting the site to a recognized wildlife corridor or linkage. As such, implementation of the proposed Project is not expected to impact wildlife movement opportunities. Therefore, impacts to wildlife corridors or linkages are not expected to occur. 140 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 31 March August 2023 e. No Impact The City has not adopted any ordinances regarding tree preservation. As observed during the field survey, the Project site mainly consists of small and medium size shrubs. No trees are located on the Project site under existing conditions. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance and no impact would occur.
f. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated The Project site is located within the boundaries of CVMSHCP but is not located within any conservation areas. The Project would be subject to payment of the Development Mitigation fee per Chapter 3.34, Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan Mitigation Fee, as described as MM BIO-2. The fee would mitigate potential impacts to covered species within the CVMSHCP. Although the site is located within the CVMSHCP boundary, as mentioned in Section 2.4.3 (a), the Project site is not located within a biological sensitive or any conservation areas. Because the Project is not located within a conservation area and would implement MM BIO-2, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.

3.4.4 Mitigation
BIO-1 Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than three (3) days prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. Preconstruction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the preconstruction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and should be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors and birds-of-prey. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version).If unavoidable, Project construction activities must begin during the nesting bird season (February 1st through August 31st), a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to initiation of ground disturbance and vegetation removal activities. The nesting pre-construction bird survey shall be conducted by a biologist familiar with identification of avian species known to occur in Riverside County. The nesting bird survey shall be conducted on foot inside the project boundary, including a 300-foot buffer for passerines (songbirds) and 500-foot buffer for raptors in areas of suitable habitat.

Inaccessible areas will be surveyed using binoculars to the extent practical. If nests are found, an avoidance buffer (dependent upon species, the proposed work activity, the existing disturbances associated with land uses outside of the site) shall be determined and demarcated by the biologist with bright orange construction fencing, flagging, construction lathe, or other means to mark the boundary. If a raptor nest is observed in a tree proposed for removal, the applicant must consult with CDFW. All construction personnel shall be notified of the existence of the buffer zone and avoid entering the buffer zone during nesting season.

• PaleoWest, Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, April 25, 2022. (Appendix C)

3.5.2 Environmental Setting
The Project area is situated east of the Peninsular Ranges in the southern extent of the Coachella Valley at the western edge of the Colorado Desert. The Coachella Valley is bordered by the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains (part of the Peninsular Ranges) to the southwest and by the low, rolling Indio and Mecca hills to the northeast. From the steep slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains, the desert floor descends suddenly at less than 3 kilometers (2 miles) eastward to sea level in the city of Indio, where the Project area is located.

A cultural resources survey of the Project area was conducted by PaleoWest on December 15, 2021. The Project site is a vacant, relatively flat parcel that is bounded on the west and south sides by Washington Street and Avenue 50, respectively. The east side of the property abuts a dry storm drain channel. Surficial deposits across the Project area have been disturbed by mechanical and natural processes with modern grading on the western side and undulating dunes on the eastern side. The soils on the western half are not native but a mixture of gravel, construction refuse, modern refuse, and road base from Washington Street and Avenue 50. The soils on the eastern half are native, eolian dune sands with a low density of cobbles. Vegetation within the Project area consists of salt bush (low lying shrubs), patches of mesquite, and bunch grasses. Modern trash was noted throughout the Project area.

The landform of the dunes is active with sands migrating around the parcel during wind events. The dunes appear to have been subject to erosion over the years and show signs of deflation. There is evidence of a recent surface brush fire with burned vegetation observed on the ground surface. A transmission line of unknown age was also noted running west-east along the southern extent of the Project area. Although the age of the line is not known, a review of aerial imagery indicates that it was not present before 1972 and as such, is likely modern in age.

No new cultural resources were observed. However, cultural materials associated with the previously recorded archaeological sites of 33-001180 and 33-008226 were identified in the Project area. 142 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

§ 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Disturb any human remains, including those interred
outside of formal cemeteries?
a/b. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated On February 4, 2022, a literature review and records search was conducted at the Eastern Information Center. The records search indicated that 117 cultural resources were previously documented within a one-mile radius of the Project area. Two of the prehistoric archaeological sites, 33-001180 (CA-RIV-1180) and 33-008226 (CA-RIV-6074), were previously documented within the Project area.

Site 33-001180 was originally recorded in 1972 as a moderate to heavy surface scatter of prehistoric artifacts in an area of deflating dunes. The site record has been updated over the years to include flaked and ground stone, ceramics, and shell artifacts, as well as fire affected rock (FAR), animal bone, and charcoal. Site 33-001180 is reported to measure 76 by 46 m and is intersected by Avenue 50 and a storm drain channel. Although most of the cultural remains associated with 33-001180 appear to lie east of the storm drain channel and south of Avenue 50, a survey conducted by Parr (1985) noted several concentrations of flaked and ground stone artifacts and modified animal bone immediately north of Avenue 50 in the current Project area. The site likely represents the remains of a habitation locale.

Site 33-008226 was recorded in 1998 as a prehistoric habitation site composed of six loci. The site measured 115 by 80 meters and lies within a sandy dune area with creosote brushes and mesquite. The cultural constituents identified within the site include flaked and ground stone, ceramic artifacts, FAR, animal bone and hardened clay. The mapped boundary of Site 33-008226 overlaps with the previously defined boundary of Site 33-001180.

During the field survey on December 15, 2021, PaleoWest identified the two previously recorded prehistoric archaeological sites, 33-001180 and 33-008226, in the northeast portion of the Project area.

The mapped boundary of Site 33-008226 largely overlaps with Site 33-001180. Therefore, PaleoWest has combined these sites into one resource, herein referred to as 33-1001180 The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation records for both 33-001180 and 33-008226 were updated to note that the two resources have been consolidated.

PaleoWest also conducted a Phase II investigation at Site 33-001180 to assess the presence/absence of buried cultural deposits in the Project area. The results of the Phase II investigation indicated that cultural deposits in the Project site are extremely sparse and are limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. The absence of intact features suggests that the area has been extensively disturbed and that any thermal features or structures that were once present in the area have been destroyed. Based on these findings, PaleoWest concluded that the Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site for 143 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 34 March August 2023 listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. Furthermore, the data potential of the prehistoric cultural deposits appears to have been realized fully during the Phase II investigations. PaleoWest recommends a finding of no impact to historical or archaeological resources under CEQA. However, due to the sensitivity of the area, PaleoWest recommends that an archaeological monitor be present to observe ground-disturbing construction activities in the Project area, as described in Mitigation Measure CUL-1. With implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1, impacts to historical and/or archaeological resources would be less than significant.
c. Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated The Project site is vacant, undeveloped, and does not contain any cemeteries or human remains under existing conditions. However, there is always the possibility that human remains could be uncovered during ground disturbing activities. In the unexpected event that human remains are found during ground disturbing activities, those remains would require proper treatment in accordance with all applicable laws. Through the implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2, all construction work taking place within the vicinity of the discovered remains must cease and the necessary steps to ensure the integrity of the immediate area must be taken. The State of California Health and Safety Code 7050.5 and the California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5097.98 states that the County Coroner must be notified within 24 hours of the discovered human remains. If the remains discovered are determined by the coroner to be of Native American descent, the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours. The NAHC would, in turn, contact the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) who would determine further action to be taken. The MLD would have 48 hours to access the site and make a recommendation regarding disposition of the remains. Therefore, with incorporation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2, impacts would be less than significant.

3.5.4 Mitigation
CUL-1 A qualified archaeologist monitor shall be present during any ground disturbing activities during the project construction phase. In the case that archaeological materials are encountered during ground disturbing activities, work in the area shall cease and any deposits shall be treated according to Federal, State, and local guidelines. No further grading is permitted in the area of the discovery until the City approves the appropriate measure to protect the discovered resources.

CUL-2 In the event that human remains are uncovered during ground disturbing activities on the project site, no further disturbance shall occur and all work shall cease until the County Coroner has made a determination of the origin and disposition of the remains. Ground disturbing activities and excavations shall not resume until the following has been addressed:

1. The County Coroner has been contacted and determined that no investigation to the cause of death is required, and

2. If the County Coroner determines that the remains are of Native American decent, the Coroner must notify Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will then determine the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section 5097.98.

Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 36 March August 2023 commitment of energy resources. The amount of energy and fuel use anticipated by the Project’s construction activities are typical for the type of scale of construction proposed by the Project and there are no aspects of the Project’s proposed construction process that are unusual or energy intensive.

Furthermore, construction equipment would be required to conform to the applicable CARB emissions standards, acting to promote equipment fuel efficiencies. Based on the foregoing, the Project’s construction energy consumption would not be considered inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary. Impacts during Project construction would be less than significant.

Energy Use During Operation
Building operations associated with the Project would result in the consumption of natural gas and electricity. The Project provides 284 252 dwelling units, which are not inherently energy intensive, and the Project energy demands in total would be comparable to, or less than, other apartment homes of similar scale. A letter from IID dated February 21,2023, stated the district would extend its electrical facilities to serve the Project by upgrading the Marshall Substation Bank 2 from 25 MVA to a 40/50 MVA, adding or reconfiguring distribution backbone line extensions, and adding new distribution feeders to the existing Marshall Station that would extend to the Project. Furthermore, the Project would be required to comply with Title 24 standards, which would ensure that the Project’s energy demand would not be considered inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary. Impacts during Project operation would be less than significant.
b. Less than Significant Impact The Project’s proposed 284 252 apartment homes would be required to comply with the City’s Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and other standards including the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan provisions. Therefore, the Project would have no impact on plans for energy efficiency.

3.7.2 Environmental Setting
The Project site is located in the Coachella Valley portion of the Salton Trough physiographic province and is a geologic, structural depression resulting from large scale regional faulting. The trough is bounded by the San 146 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 37 March August 2023 Andreas fault and Chocolate Mountains on the northeast and the Peninsular Range and faults of the San Jacinto Fault Zone on the southwest. The Salton Trough represents the northward extension of the Gulf of California, containing both marine and non-marine sediments since the Miocene Epoch. Tectonic activity that formed the trough continues at a high rate as evidenced by deformed young sedimentary deposits and high levels of seismicity.

The surrounding regional geology includes the Peninsular Ranges (Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains) to the south and west, the Salton Sea Basin to the southeast, and the Transverse Ranges (Little San Bernardino and Orocopia Mountains) to the north and east. Hundreds of feet to several thousand feet of Quaternary fluvial, lacustrine, and Aeolian soil deposits underlie the Coachella Valley. The southeastern part of the Coachella Valley lies below sea level. In the past, the ancient Lake Cahuilla submerged the area. Calcareous tufa deposits may be observed along the ancient shoreline as high as an elevation of 45 to 50 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) along the Santa Rosa Mountains from La Quinta southward. Lacustrine (lake bed) deposits comprise the subsurface soils over much of the eastern Coachella Valley with alluvial outwash along the flanks of the valley.

The Project site is located in Southern California, which is a seismically active area. The type and magnitude of seismic hazards affecting the site are dependent on the distance of causative faults, the intensity, and the magnitude of the seismic event. Existing ground surface elevations range from 40 to 59 feet AMSL.

systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
a-i. No Impact There are no known active faults crossing or projecting through the Project site. The Project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, or within a fault zone identified by the County of Riverside GIS data. Therefore, ground rupture due to faulting is considered unlikely at this site. No impact would occur.
a-ii. Less than Significant The Project site is located in a seismically active area of Southern California and is expected to experience moderate to severe ground shaking during the lifetime of the Project. This risk is not considered substantially different than that of other similar properties in the southern California area. As a mandatory condition of Project approval, the Project would be required to construct the proposed buildings in accordance with the California Building Code (CBC), also known as California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, Part 2, and the City of La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), which is based on the CBC with local amendments. The CBC and LQMC (Chapter 8.02) provide standards that must be met to safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures, which have been specifically tailored for California earthquake conditions. In addition, the Project would be required to comply with the site-specific ground preparation and construction recommendations contained in the Project’s geological report, which would be required prior to issuance of a grading permit. Mandatory compliance with these standards along with site-specific design and construction measures set forth in the Project’s geotechnical report, the CBC, and the LQMC, potential impacts related to seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. As such, implementation of the Project would not expose people or structures to substantial adverse effects, including loss, injury, or death, involving seismic ground shaking. Impacts would be less-than-significant.
a-iii. Less than Significant According to Riverside Map My County, the Project site is located within an area with moderate liquefaction susceptibility. However, prior to issuance of a grading permit, a geotechnical report would be required to be submitted for approval. The Project Applicant would be required to comply with the grading and construction recommendations contained within the geotechnical report for the Project to further reduce the risk of seismic-related ground failure due to liquefaction. Therefore, implementation of the Project would not directly or indirectly expose people or structures to substantial hazards associated with seismic-related ground failure and/or liquefaction hazards. Impacts would be less than significant.
a-iv. No Impact The Project site is generally flat and contains no substantial natural or man-made slopes under existing conditions. There are no substantial natural or man-made slopes in the Project site vicinity either. Accordingly, development on the subject property would not be exposed to landslide risks and the Project would not pose a landslide risk to surrounding properties. Impacts would be less than significant.
148 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 39 March August 2023 b. Less than Significant Impact During construction of the proposed Project, soils would be disrupted during grading activities due to exposure of uncovered soils, thereby increasing the potential for wind or water-related erosion and sedimentation until construction is completed. Pursuant to State Water Resources Control Board requirements, the Applicant is required to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for construction activities, which involves preparation and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction-related activities. The SWPPP will specify the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would be required to be implemented during construction activities to ensure that waterborne pollution (erosion and sedimentation) is prevented, minimized, and/or otherwise appropriately treated prior to surface runoff being discharged from the subject property. The Project also would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 to minimize water and windborne erosion. Lastly, the Project would be required to prepare and implement a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), which is a site-specific postconstruction water quality management program designed to minimize the release of waterborne pollutants, including pollutants of concern for downstream receiving waters, under long-term conditions via BMPs. The WQMP also is required to establish a post-construction implementation and maintenance plan to ensure on-going, long-term erosion protection. Therefore, with adherence to SCAQMD Rule 403, and preparation of a SWPPP and WQMP, the proposed Project would result in less than significant impacts related to soil erosion.
c. Less than Significant The Project site does not contain substantial natural or man-made slopes under existing conditions. Additionally, there are no hillsides in the vicinity of the Project site with a potential to expose the site to landslide hazards. Therefore, no impact would occur related to landslides.

Lateral spreading is primarily associated with liquefaction hazards. As previously mentioned in Section

3.7.3(a)(ii), above, the Project Applicant would be required to submit a geotechnical report prior to issuance of a grading permit and comply with the grading and construction recommendations contained within that geotechnical report to further reduce the risk of seismic-related ground failure due to liquefaction. The Project Applicant also would be required to comply with the site-specific ground preparation and construction recommendations contained in the geotechnical report for the Project site, which would attenuate the site’s settlement potential. Therefore, impacts associated with liquefaction, lateral spreading, shrinkage/subsidence, and collapse would be less than significant. d. Less than Significant Impact According to the Web Soil Survey, the Project site consists of desert land comprised of Coachella fine sand and Myoma fine sand. Due to the low clay content in underlying soils, these near surface soils can be anticipated to have very low expansion characteristics. The Project site is not located in an area known for expansive soil (as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994)), and the potential for the Project to create substantial risks to life or property, relating to expansive soils, is very low. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. e. No Impact The Project would not involve the use of septic tanks or any other alternative wastewater disposal systems. Therefore, there would be no impacts associated with septic tanks or alternative wastewater systems.
f. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The Project site does not contain any paleontological resources under existing conditions. However, according to the City’s General Plan EIR and the Riverside Map My County, the Project site is located within a High Paleontological Sensitivity due to Pleistocene sediments and sediments from ancient Lake Cahuilla beds. Therefore, a professional paleontologist would be retained to prepare and implement paleontological monitoring and mitigation 149 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 40 March August 2023 plan (PRMMP) as described in Mitigation Measures GEO-1 through GEO-4. Therefore, with implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1 through GEO-4, potential impacts to a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature would be reduced to less than significant.

3.7.4 Mitigation
The following mitigation measures are required:

GEO-1 Prior to the start of the proposed Project activities, all field personnel will receive a worker’s environmental awareness training on paleontological resources. The training will provide a description of the laws and ordinances protecting fossil resources, the types of fossil resources that may be encountered in the project area, the role of the paleontological monitor, outlines steps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery is made and provides contact information for the project paleontologist. The training will be developed by the project paleontologist and can be delivered concurrent with other training including cultural, biological, safety, etc.

GEO-2 Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a professional paleontologist will be retained to prepare and implement a PRMMP for the proposed project. The PRMMP will describe the monitoring required during excavations that extend into older Quaternary (Pleistocene) age sediments, and the location of areas deemed to have a high paleontological resource potential.

Part-time monitoring, or spot checking, may be required during shallow ground-disturbances (< 10 feet below ground surface) to confirm that sensitive geologic units are not being impacted.

Monitoring will entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench sidewalls.

GEO-3 In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor will have the authority to temporarily divert the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and, if appropriate, collected. If the resource is determined to be of scientific significance, the project paleontologist shall complete the following:

1. Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, all work in the immediate vicinity should be halted to allow the paleontological monitor, and/or project paleontologist to evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. If the fossils are determined to be potentially significant, the project paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) should recover them following standard field procedures for collecting paleontological as outlined in the PRMMP prepared for the project. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case the paleontologist should have the authority to temporarily direct, divert, or halt construction activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a safe and timely manner.

2. Fossil Preparation and Curation. The PRMMP will identify the museum that has agreed to accept fossils that may be discovered during project-related excavations. Upon completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils collected will be prepared in a properly equipped laboratory to a point ready for curation. Preparation may include the removal of excess matrix from fossil materials and stabilizing or repairing specimens. During preparation and inventory, the fossils specimens will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level practical prior to curation at an accredited museum. The fossil specimens must be delivered to the accredited museum or 150 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 41 March August 2023 repository no later than 90 days after all fieldwork is completed. The cost of curation will be assessed by the repository and will be the responsibility of the client.

GEO-4 Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the project paleontologist shall prepare a final mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report shall include discussion of the location, duration and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific significance of those fossils, and where fossils were curated.

3.7.5 Level of Significance after Mitigation
With implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1 through GEO-4, impacts associated with geology and soils would be reduced to less than significant.

3.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

3.8.1 Sources
• MD Acoustics, Troutdale Village Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Study, December 30, 2021 (Appendix A)

3.8.2 Environmental Setting
Constituent gases of the Earth’s atmosphere, called atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG), play a critical role in the Earth’s radiation amount by trapping infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface, which otherwise would have escaped to space. Prominent greenhouse gases contributing to this process include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ozone, water vapor, nitrous oxide (N2O), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This phenomenon, known as the Greenhouse Effect, is responsible for maintaining a habitable climate.

Anthropogenic (caused or produced by humans) emissions of these greenhouse gases in excess of natural ambient concentrations are responsible for the enhancement of the Greenhouse Effect and have led to a trend of unnatural warming of the Earth’s natural climate, known as global warming or climate change. Emissions of gases that induce global warming are attributable to human activities associated with industrial/manufacturing, agriculture, utilities, transportation, and residential land uses. Transportation is responsible for 41 percent of the State’s greenhouse gas emissions, followed by electricity generation.

Emissions of CO2 and nitrous oxide (NO2) are byproducts of fossil fuel combustion. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, results from off-gassing associated with agricultural practices and landfills. Sinks of CO2, where CO2 is stored outside of the atmosphere, include uptake by vegetation and dissolution into the ocean.

Table 6 of the Project’s greenhouse gas analysis (Appendix A) provides a description of each of the greenhouse gases and their global warming potential.

a. Less than Significant Impact. The Project allows for the development of 284 252 dwelling units. The Project is anticipated to generate GHG emissions from area sources, energy usage, mobile sources, solid waste, water, and construction. The CalEEMod Version 2020.4.0 was utilized by MD Acoustics to calculate the GHG emissions from the Project. As shown in Table 8, the Project would result in approximately 1,963.70 metric tons per year of CO2e (MTCO2e) per year and would not exceed the SCAQMD screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. Therefore, Project GHG emissions impacts would be less than significant.

The applicable plan for the Project is the City’s Greenhouse Gas Plan, which contains goals and supporting measures that reflect and ensure compliance with Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), Senate Bill 32 (SB 32), and the 2017 California Air Resources Board (CARB) Scoping Plan. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) also states that projects that do not exceed the screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year are considered to have less-than-significant GHG emissions and are in compliance with the AQMP. As mentioned in Section 3.8.3(a) above, the GHG emissions generated by the Project would not exceed the SCAQMD screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e. Based on the foregoing, the Project would not have the potential to conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs.

3.9.2 Environmental Setting
The Project site occurs in an area of the City of La Quinta that has undergone gradual urbanization since the later decades of the 1900’s. The general area is comprised primarily of residential, recreational, institutional, and commercial development. A unique feature of the City of La Quinta is the inclusion of golf courses within residential neighborhoods and the residential developments surrounding the site often support meandering golf courses. The Project site is surrounded to the north by residential development; to the east by an undeveloped flood control channel with a sports complex and school facilities beyond; to the south by Avenue 50 with undeveloped, vacant land and a golf course beyond; and to the west by Washington Street with residential development and a golf course beyond. The site itself is composed of primarily undeveloped, vacant land and developed portions of adjacent roadways and infrastructure. The site is heavily disturbed due to pedestrian and vehicle traffic associated with surrounding development, historic light grading, and routine weed abatement activities. Historic aerials show these disturbances have been ongoing since at least 1972. 153 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result,
would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted within two
miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan?
g) Expose people or structures, either directly or
indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
a. Less than Significant Impact. Proposed construction activities for the development of the Project may involve the use and transport of hazardous materials, which include but not limited to fuels, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, and other liquids associated with the operation of heavy equipment utilized for construction. Additionally, materials that are consistent with building construction would also be present onsite and these materials may include paints, solvents, concrete, adhesives, roofing materials, and others. Additionally, transportation, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials during construction activities would be required to comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local statues and regulations. This includes the preparation of a SWPPP that would outline specific BMPs that would be administered during the construction of the Project in order to prevent the discharge of constructionrelated pollutants that could contaminate nearby water sources. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA; 42 USC 6901 et seq.) would require businesses with substantial quantities of hazardous materials to adhere to strict requirements in regard to handlings, transportation, and storing of supplies. Furthermore, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 5101 et seq. protects against the risk to life, property, and the environment that are associated with the transportation of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. Upon completion of the proposed construction, all hazardous materials would be removed from the Project site. Therefore, with all 154 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 45 March August 2023 applicable regulations in place, impacts associated with accidental release of hazardous substances during construction activities would be less than significant.

Long-term operations of the Project would involve limited use of substances typically associated with individual households. Typical materials would include paints, cleaning solvents, fertilizers, and motor oil. The Project would be required to comply with Federal, State, and local regulations to ensure proper use, storage, emission, and disposal of hazardous substances. With mandatory regulatory compliance, the Project is not expected to pose a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, storage, emission, or disposal of hazardous materials, nor would the Project increase the potential for accident conditions which could result in the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Impacts would be less than significant. b. Less than Significant Impact. Accidents involving hazardous materials that could pose a significant hazard to the public or the environment would be highly unlikely during the construction and long-term operation of the Project and are not reasonably foreseeable. As discussed above under Section 3.9.3(a), the transport, use, and handling of hazardous materials on the Project site during construction is a standard risk on all construction sites, and there would be no greater risk for upset and accidents than would occur on any other similar construction site. Upon buildout, the Project site would operate as a residential use. Based on the operational characteristics of residential uses, there is limited use of hazardous substances; however, as discussed above under Section 3.9.3(a), the Project Applicant would be required to comply with all applicable local, State, and Federal regulations related to the transport, handling, and usage of hazardous material. Accordingly, impacts associated with the accidental release of hazardous materials would be less than significant during both construction and long-term operation of the Project.
c. Less than Significant Impact. The nearest school to the Project site is Harry S Truman Elementary School located at 78870 Avenue 50. The school is within 0.25-mile to the east of the proposed Project site. Due to the nature of the proposed use of the Project as a residential development, there would be limited use of hazardous substances. In addition, as previously mentioned under Section 3.9.3 (a), the Project would be required to comply with Federal, State, and local regulations to ensure proper storage, use, emission, and disposal of hazardous substances. Therefore, the proposed Project would have a less than significant impact on schools within a quarter mile of the site.
d. No Impact. According to the Department of Toxic Control Substances (DTCS), there are no Federal Superfund sites within the vicinity of the Project site. All environmental cleanups and any permitted hazardous material facilities are listed in the Envirostor database, including Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Lability Act (CERLA) sites as well. Additionally, according to the California State Water Resources Control Board’s GeoTracker, the Project site is not located within any cleanup sites.

The nearest cleanup site is the La Quinta Country Club, located at 77750 Avenue 50, which is approximately

0.71-mile west from the Project site. The La Quinta Country Club contained a potential contaminant of concern: gasoline. However, the case has been closed as of February 4, 1992. Therefore, the Project is not located on or within the vicinity of a site that is listed as a hazardous materials site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Thus, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. No impact would occur.
e. No Impact. The closest airport to the Project site is the Bermuda Dunes Airport, which is approximately 4.1 miles northeast of the Project site. The Project site is not located within the Airport Influence Area and not 155 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 46 March August 2023 within the Airport Land Use Compatibility Zones. Therefore, the Project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the Project area. No impact would occur. f. No Impact. The Project site does not contain any emergency facilities under existing conditions, nor does it serve as an emergency evacuation route, so there is no potential for the Project to adversely affect an existing emergency response or evacuation plan. During construction and at Project buildout, the proposed Project would be required to maintain adequate emergency access for emergency vehicles as required by the City. As part of the City’s discretionary review process, the City of La Quinta would review the Project to ensure that appropriate emergency ingress and egress would be available to-and-from the proposed dwelling units for public safety. Accordingly, implementation of the proposed Project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or an emergency evacuation plan. No impact would occur.
g. No Impact. According to Map My County, the Project site is not located within a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or a Local Responsibility Area (LRA). The Project site and its surrounding areas are not located within a very high fire hazard area. Therefore, the proposed Project would not expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. No impact would occur.

Construction of the Project would be subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater regulations for construction which are required when there is a soil disturbance of more than one acre. The Applicant will be required to comply with all rules, regulations, and procedures of the NPDES permit for municipal, construction, and industrial activities as outlined by the California State Water Resources Control Board or any of its Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Colorado River Basin – Region 7). A Project-specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) must also be prepared to determine and describe the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented on the Project site. The Project would be required to meet all applicable water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, thus avoiding any violation of such standards or requirements.

Any future development and construction of the Project would require compliance with South Coast Air Quality Management (SCAQMD) Rule 403 and 403.1. SCAQM Rule 403 requires the implementation of best available dust control measures (BACM) during active operations that are capable of generating fugitive dust, such as the construction of the proposed Project. SCAQMD Rule 403.1 is a supplemental rule to 403, which applies only to fugitive dust sources that occur in the Coachella Valley. This rule will assist in reducing fugitive dust and resulting PM10 emissions from man-made sources in the Coachella 157 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Additionally, a Project specific WQMP (Appendix G) was prepared to determine and describe the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented on the Project site to address pollutants of concern that may potentially be generated from the use of the Project site. Per the WQMP, the BMP’s have been selected and implemented to comply with WQMP Section 3.5 and consists of site design BMP concepts, source control, LID/site design and, if/where necessary, treatment control BMP’s. Furthermore, the WQMP prepared for the proposed Project would be required to collect and store 100% of the runoff generated during the 100-year storm event on-site per City of La Quinta Drainage Ordinance. The on-site retention basins will be designed in a manner that allows the stored volume generated from the 100-year design storm event to completely evacuate via percolation into the soil within a 72-hour period.

Therefore, the proposed Project would not violate any water quality standards, waste discharge requirements, or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. Impacts would be less than significant.
b. No potable groundwater wells are proposed by the Project and the Project would be served with potable water by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). The primary source of water in the Coachella Valley is groundwater extracted by deep wells and replenished with Colorado River water. The CVWD would provide domestic water service to the Project and is a participant in the Coachella Valley Regional Water Management Group that prepared an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (WMP) in 2018. The 2018 Integrated Regional WMP determined that long-term regional demand for potable water is expected to increase; however, with continued conservation measures and replenishment of groundwater, it is projected that there will be sufficient supplies available to meet the CVWD demand.

Based on the 2018 Integrated Regional WMP projected supply and demand numbers, the CVWD would have a sufficient water supply to serve the Project’s water demands.

At Project buildout, water would be required to serve the needs of the proposed development of 284 252 dwelling units. The Project would connect to an existing water line on Avenue 50. No additional water infrastructure or new wells are proposed. The Project would be required to comply with the CVWD’s and the City’s water-efficiency requirements, such as including the use of drought-tolerant planting materials and limited landscaping irrigation. The Project would also be required to comply with the CVWD’s drought restrictions and water reduction measures as applicable. Therefore, compliance and implementation of CVWD and City requirements would ensure that the Project would not substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge. Impacts would be less than significant.
c. i-iv. Less than Significant Impact. Prior to development of the Project site, the City will review and approve the proposed civil plans to ensure the proposed development is in compliance with the City’s Municipal Code, which requires the Project to retain the runoff volume from a 100-year, 24-hour storm event for the entire Project site.

In addition, the Project’s WQMP (Appendix G), includes BMPs, both of which are requirements for the City’s NPDES implementation. The implementation of BMPs would allow for the reduction in pollutants of concern and help reduce the impacts both short and long term of water quality during the construction and operation of the Project. The implementation of BMPs is consistent with the Projectspecific WQMP and complies with City requirements would ensure the design of the Project would not 158 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

d. Less than Significant Impact. The majority of the Project site is not located within a flood zone; however, the eastern side of the Project site is located within the U.S Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Zone AE due to the Project site being adjacent to the Coachella Water District’s Whitewater River Storm Water Channel. CVWD provided a letter dated April 5, 2022, which stated approval on the 75-foot setback. Therefore, no channel improvements would be required for the Project. Furthermore, the Project site is not located within the vicinity of any other water bodies. Due to the Project site location being far away from the ocean, lakes, or dams, there is no possibility of dam failure, tsunami or seiche. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. e. Less than Significant Impact. As described in Section 2.10.3 (b), projected Project water demand does not exceed the projected water supply per the 2018 Integrated Regional WMP. There would be sufficient water supplies to serve the Project. The Project will adhere to all applicable water quality standards and will implement a Project specific WQMP (Appendix G) approved by the City and the Regional Water Quality Control Board for both construction and operational activities. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. Impacts would be less than significant.

Under existing conditions, the Project site is designated as “Medium/High Density Residential” per the City’s General Plan 2035 Land Use Map and zoned “Medium High Density Residential (RMH)” and within the Affordable Housing Overlay per the City’s Official Zoning Map. Because the Project would be consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation, the Project would not conflict with the City’s General Plan.

As previously mentioned, the Applicant has applied for a Change of Zone, which requests to amend the Zoning Ordinance to change the underlying zone of the Project site from RMH to RH. Approval of the Change of Zone would inherently create he site will remain as Residential Medium High (RMH) and apply a density bonus to provide some affordable units. consistency with the City’s zoning designation. Prior to the development of the Project site, the City would review and approve the proposed architectural plans to ensure the proposed development meets the City’s development standards for the Medium/High Density Residential land use and High Density Residential Medium High zone. Therefore, the Project would be developed in accordance with the proposed density requirement, zoning designation, and would comply with all applicable policies contained in the General Plan and all applicable development regulations and standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance.

The Project also would not conflict with any applicable goals, objectives, and policies of the SCAQMD’s AQMP, SCAG’s Connect SoCal, and SCAG’s Regional Comprehensive Plan. Impacts would be less than significant.

residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan?
a-b. Less Than Significant Impact. According to the City’s General Plan EIR, the Project site is located in an MRZ-1 zone, which indicates it is located in an area where there is little likelihood for presence of significant mineral resources. The Project site is currently designated Medium/High Density under the City’s General Plan and zoned Medium High Density Residential. Neither the existing land use or zoning designation allow for mineral production. In addition, the General Plan consists of several policies that would protect mineral resources and prevent land use incompatibility impacts from mining.

Furthermore, if a potential mineral extraction operation were to be located within the Project site, it would be incompatible both with the land use designation and surrounding land uses. Therefore, development of the Project would result in a less than significant impact relating to mineral resources.

3.13.2 Environmental Setting
Noise
Noise has been defined as an unwanted sound. Sound becomes unwanted when it interferes with normal activities, when it causes actual physical harm, or when it has adverse effects on health. Noise is measured on a logarithmic scale of sound pressure level known as a decibel (dB). A-weighted decibels (dBA) approximate the subjective response of the human ear to broad frequency noise source by discriminating against very low and very high frequencies of the audible spectrum. They are adjusted to reflect only those frequencies which are audible to the human ear.

Vibration
According to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Noise Impact and Vibration Assessment Manual, vibration is the periodic oscillation of a medium or object. The rumbling sound caused by the vibration of room surfaces is called structure-borne noise. Sources of ground-borne vibrations include natural or human made causes. In addition, vibration sources may be continuous, such as factory machinery, or transient, such as explosions.

There are several different methods that are used to quantify vibration. The peak particle velocity (PPV) is defined as the maximum instantaneous peak of the vibration signal. The PPV is most frequently used to describe vibration impacts to buildings. Human body responds to average vibration amplitude often described as the root mean square (RMS). The RMS amplitude is defined as the average of the squared amplitude of the signal and is most frequently used to describe the effect of vibration on the human body. Decibel notation (VdB) is commonly used to measure RMS. Decibel notation (VdB) serves to reduce the range of numbers used to describe human response to vibration. Typically, ground-borne vibration generated by man-made activities attenuates rapidly with distance from the source of the vibration. 162 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

NOISE – Would the project result in:
a) Generation of a substantial temporary or
permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the
vicinity of the project in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise
ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Generation of excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a
public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area
to excessive noise levels?
a. Less than Significant Impact. Project construction noise would occur due to the use of equipment that includes a combination of trucks, power tools, concrete mixers, and portable generators that when combined can reach high levels. The number and mix of construction equipment is expected to occur in stages such as site preparation, grading, building construction, and architectural coating.

To describe the Project construction noise levels, measurements were collected for similar activities at several construction sites. Since the reference noise levels were collected at varying distances, all construction noise level measurements presented in Table 6 of Appendix D, have been adjusted to describe a uniform reference distance of 50 feet.

Construction Noise Analysis
Construction noise is considered a short-term impact and would be considered significant if construction activities are taken outside the allowable times (7 AM to 7 PM) as described in LQMC Section 6.08.050(A).

Construction is anticipated to occur during permissible hours. Construction noise will have a temporary or periodic increase in the ambient noise level above the existing within the Project vicinity. Furthermore, noise reduction measures are provided to further reduce construction noise. The impact is considered less than significant. Construction noise level projections are provided below.

Typical operating cycles for these types of construction equipment may involve one or two minutes of full power operation followed by three to four minutes at lower power settings. Noise levels will be loudest during the grading phase. A likely worst-case construction noise scenario during grading assumes the use of a grader, a dozer, two (2) excavators, two (2) backhoes, and a scraper operating at 290 feet from the nearest sensitive receptor (north residences).

Assuming a usage factor of 40 percent for each piece of equipment, unmitigated noise levels at 290 feet have the potential to reach 70 dBA Leq and 74 dBA Lmax at the nearest sensitive receptors during grading.

Noise levels for the other construction phases would be lower and range between 63 to 66 dBA. 163 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 54 March August 2023 Off-Site Traffic Noise Analysis
Traffic generated by the operation of the Project will influence traffic noise levels in surrounding off-site areas. As previously mentioned, the Project is anticipated to generate approximately 2,079 average daily trips. The modeling is theoretical and does not take into account any existing barriers, structures, and/or topographical features that may further reduce noise levels. Therefore, the levels are shown for comparative purposes only to show the difference in with and without project conditions. In addition, the noise contours for 60, 65 and 70 dBA CNEL were calculated. The potential off-site noise impacts caused by an increase of traffic from operation of the proposed project on the nearby roadways were calculated for the following scenarios: Existing without Project and Existing with Project. Table 8 compares the two scenarios and shows the change in traffic noise levels as a result of the proposed Project. It takes a change of 3 dB or more to hear a perceptible difference.

1 Exterior noise levels calculated at 5 feet above ground level. 2Noise levels calculated from centerline of subject roadway.

As shown on Table 8, the maximum change in noise level generated from the Project is 0.2 dBA. Therefore, noise impacts to off-site receptors due to Project-generated trips would be less than significant.

On-Site Traffic Noise Analysis
Traffic noise from the local roadway network was evaluated and compared to the City’s noise compatibility matrix. Per the City’s Land Use Compatibility (LQMC Section 9.100.210), multi-family residential is conditionally acceptable up to 65 dBA CNEL. As shown in Table 5 of Appendix D, traffic 70 dBA CNEL noise projections from Washington Street will reach up to 173 feet from the centerline of the roadway. Residential structures are located approximately 180 feet away from Washington Street centerline and fall within the 70 to 65 dBA CNEL contour of the roadway and are located within the conditionally acceptable region for multiple-family residential. In order to ensure interior levels of 45 dBA CNEL, all residential windows would be designed with sound transmission class (STC) ratings of 28 to achieve a 25 dB reduction, as described in Mitigation Measure NOI-1, below. With implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1, on-site traffic noise would be reduced to a less than significant impact. b. Less than Significant Impact The Project does not propose or require uses or activities that would be considered substantive sources of on-going vibration. For the purposes of this analysis, and to substantiate whether the Project would result in “exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels,” applicable criteria developed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) were employed. The Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual indicates that received vibration levels of 0.10 Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) (equal to 0.071 Root Mean Square Amplitude [RMS]) could be strongly perceptible (Caltrans 164 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 55 March August 2023 Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual (Caltrans) September 2013, p. 38). For the purposes of this analysis, received vibration levels exceeding 0.10 PPV (0.071 RMS) would be considered potentially significant.

Ground borne vibration levels resulting from construction activities occurring within the Project site were estimated by using data published by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Typical Project construction equipment would generate vibration levels of 0.003 PPV (small bulldozer) to 0.089 PPV (larger bulldozer) as measured at 25 feet. As with received noise levels, received vibration levels attenuate with distance. In general, manmade ground-borne vibrations attenuate rapidly with distance from the source.

At a distance of 290 feet, a large bulldozer would yield a worst-case 0.006 peak particle velocity (PPV) (in/sec) which is below the threshold of perception and any risk of damage. Therefore, the Project would not result in or cause exposure of persons to, or generation of, excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise. Impacts would be less than significant.
c. No Impact The nearest airport to the Project site is the Bermuda Dunes Airport, located approximately

4.1 miles northeast of the Project site. The Project site is not located within the airport influence area boundary. Furthermore, the noise compatibility contours provided in the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (RCALUCP) show that the Project site is outside of the 65 dBA CNEL noise contour for the Bermuda Dunes Airport. Therefore, the Project would not expose people residing or working in the Project area to excessive noise levels associated with airports. No impact would occur.

POPULATION AND HOUSING – Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area,
either directly (for example, by proposing new homes
and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or
housing, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
a. Less than Significant Impact. The Project Applicant proposes the future development of 284 252 residences on 14.03 acres of undeveloped land. According to the United States Census Bureau, the person per household from 2016-2020 in the City of La Quinta is 2.55, which calculates to an estimate of 724 residents. This only leads to a negligible increase in population and is consistent with current population growth projections. Furthermore, the Project site is surrounded to the north and west by residential homes and would be accessible via existing roads and infrastructure. No roads or infrastructure would need to be extended to serve the Project. Because the anticipated increase in population based on the proposed residences would be negligible, within current population growth projections, and induced population growth is also expected to be negligible. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. b. No Impact. The proposed development of 284 252 residences would take place on a vacant parcel. No structures or housing will be eliminated as a result of the Project and no persons would be displaced.

Therefore, there would be no impacts relating to the displacement of people or housing.

RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing
neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational
facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
a/b. Less than Significant Impact. The Project’s development of 284 252 dwelling units would result in a negligible population increase and a negligible demand for park facilities. Since the Project will provide a pickleball court, pool and spa, barbeque areas, tot lot, multiple open recreational spaces, and a dog park, there is a low potential for the Project to increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur, as well as a low potential for construction or expansion of recreational facilities which may have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Furthermore, because the Project is consistent with the existing land use and zoning designation, the City’s General Plan has already accommodated for the new residents from this Project. Therefore, the Project would have a less than significant impact on recreational facilities within the City.

Trip generation represents the amount of traffic which is both attracted to and produced by a development. The Project’s Traffic Report (Appendix E) utilized the trip generation rates for multi-family housing for low-rise and mid-rise homes provided in the Institute of Engineers Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition. As shown in the modeling conducted by IEG, through use of the ITE trip generation rates, the Project is anticipated to generate approximately 1,684 total daily trips, 109 AM peak hour trips, and 134 PM peak hour trips.

IEG conducted analyses for two scenarios: Existing Conditions (2021), Project Completion Year (2023) (Existing Plus Ambient Plus Project) Conditions, Cumulative (Existing Plus Ambient Plus Cumulative Plus Project) Conditions. As shown in Table 9, Existing Conditions (2021) Intersection Analysis, all analyzed intersections are operating at an acceptable LOS under Existing Year (2021) Conditions.

Bus stops for Route 7 are currently located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 for northbound service and at the southwest corner for southbound service Pedestrian accessibility and connectivity to and from the Project is provided along the east and west sides of Washington Street with signalized crossings at the intersection where the bus stops are located.

Existing bike lanes are located along the Project site’s frontage with Washington Street and along the south side of Avenue 50, east of the Project site. The Project would not interfere with the existing bus stops, sidewalks, and bike lanes.

In conclusion, the Project would not conflict with the City’s General Plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Impacts would be less than significant. b. Less than Significant Impact. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 sets forth guidelines for implementing Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) for reduction of GHG emissions and development of multimodal transportation networks. SB 743 requires amendments to the CEQA Guidelines to provide for an alternative criteria to the LOS methodology for evaluating transportation impacts. Generally, “vehicle miles travelled” or VMT is considered as the most appropriate measurement of transportation impacts. VMT refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project.

Per the City of La Quinta VMT Analysis Policy and screening criteria for development projects, the proposed Project, consisting of 284 252 multifamily units of which 70 74 units are affordable housing units, can be presumed to not have a significant transportation related CEQA impact by qualifying for small and local serving projects screening criteria as affordable housing. Furthermore, as discussed in the GHG section above, the project is estimated to generate less than 3,000 MTCO2e, which also qualifies for screening criteria. Therefore, Project impacts related to VMT would be less than significant. c/d Less than Significant Impact. The types of traffic generated from the Project (i.e., passenger cars) would be compatible with the type of traffic observed along roadways within the Project vicinity under existing conditions. In addition, prior to development of the Project site, the City will review and approve the proposed architectural plans to ensure all proposed improvements within the public right-of-way would be installed in conformance with City Design Standards and that no hazardous transportation design features would be introduced through implementation of the Project. In addition, the Riverside County 173 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

3.18.2 Environmental Setting
The Project site is situated east of the Peninsular Ranges in the southern extent of the Coachella Valley at the western edge of the Colorado Desert. The Coachella Valley is bordered by the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains (part of the Peninsular Ranges) to the southwest and by the low, rolling Indio and Mecca hills to the northeast. From the steep slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains, the desert floor descends suddenly at less than 3 kilometers (2 miles) eastward to sea level in the city of Indio, where the Project site is located.

PaleoWest contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on October 19, 2021, for a review of the sacred lands file (SLF). The NAHC responded on November 30, 2021, stating that the SLF was completed with negative results; however, the NAHC requested that 16 individuals representing 11 Native American tribal groups be contacted to elicit information regarding cultural resource issues related to the proposed Project.

PaleoWest sent outreach letters to the 11 recommended tribal groups on December 21, 2021. These letters were followed up by phone calls on January 12, 2022. To date five Tribes have responded to the notification letters: Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, Quechan Historic Preservation Department, Los Coyote Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians, Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, and Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians. 174 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope
of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that
is:
i) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of
historical resources as defined in Public Resources
Code section 5020.1(k), or
ii) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its
discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to
be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in
subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section
5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead
agency shall consider the significance of the resource
to a California Native American tribe.
a.i. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated As previously discussed in Section 3.5.3(a) and (b), the Project site contains two previously recorded prehistoric archeological sites, which have been combined by PaleoWest into one resource: 33-001180. The resource likely represents a Late Prehistoric Period habitation site, much of which has been destroyed by development in the surrounding area.

PaleoWest concluded after a Phase II investigation that the portion of Site 33-001180 in the Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site for listing on the CRHR. However, due to the sensitivity in the area, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would be implemented to ensure historical and archaeological resources would be less than significant. a.ii. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated As previously mentioned in Section 3.18.2, PaleoWest contacted the NAHC on October 19, 2021, for review of the SLF. The NAHC responded on November 30, 2021, stating that the SLF was completed with negative results; however, the NAHC requested that 16 individuals representing 11 Native American tribal groups be contacted to elicit information regarding cultural resource issues related to the Project. PaleoWest sent outreach letters to the 11 recommended tribal groups on December 21, 2021. These letters were followed up by phone calls on January 12, 2022.

The Environmental Department of the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians responded that they have no information to share and no comment on the Project. The Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians also stated that the Tribe would like to defer to the closest tribes in that area, Torres-Martinez and Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians. They further noted that the Tribe does not have any comment regarding the Project. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians stated the Project was not located within the boundaries of the ancestral territory and traditional use area of the Cahuilla and Serrano people of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians. The Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians stated that they are not aware of any cultural resources that would be impacted by the Project but would like to be informed if any additional resources, beyond the two resources already identified within the Project site, are identified during development of the Project. A representative of the Ramona Band of Cahuilla requested that the letters be resent for review. The letter was resent to the Tribe on January 12, 2022. On January 28, 2022, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians responded stating that the Project site is located within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area and therefore, requested to monitor during Project construction. On April 19, 2022, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians requested a formal government to government consultation under AB-52, a cultural resources inventory by a qualified archaeologist prior to any development activities, a copy of the records search with associated survey reports and site records from the information center, copies of any cultural documentation, a representative from the Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource, and an informational meeting with the developer, lead agency, and archaeologist. There was a joint SB18 and AB52 Revie conducted and on July 21, 2022, The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians stated the Desert Sage Apartments project had addressed all the Tribals Historic Preservation Office concerns and proper mitigation measures have been proposed to ensure the protections of tribal cultural resources, thus concluding AB52 consultation efforts. With implementation of Mitigation Measure TCR-1, as described below, impacts to tribal cultural resources would be less than significant.

3.18.4 Mitigation
TCR-1 Prior to any ground disturbing activities on the Project site, an approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall be present to monitor the site. Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor may request destructive construction halt and the Monitor shall notify a qualified Archaeologist to investigate and, if necessary, prepare a mitigation plan for submission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office.

3.19.2 Environmental Setting
Domestic Water
Domestic water for the majority of the City is provided by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD).

Groundwater is the principal source of municipal water supply in the Coachella Valley. The main groundwater source for the entire valley is the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin, Indio Subbasin, and the Whitewater River Subbasin. The Whitewater River Subbasin underlies a major portion of the valley floor and encompasses approximately 400 square miles.

Wastewater
CVWD also provides wastewater and sewage collection and treatment services in the City and Sphere of Influence (SOI). CVWD sewer lines utilize a system of trunk lines ranging in diameter from 4 to 24 inches. There are 18-inch diameter force mains in Washington Street, Jefferson Street, Madison Street, and Avenues 50, 58, and 60. There are two CVWD wastewater treatment plants that serve La Quinta. Water Reclamation Plant 7 (WRP-7) is located at Madison Street and Avenue 38, northeast of the City in Indio. It provides wastewater treatment for development in the City north of Miles Avenue. The capacity of WRP-7 is 5 million gallons per day (MGD), and the plant processes approximately 2.8 to 3.0 MGD. It has the capacity to expand to 7.5 MGD.

The Mid-Valley Water Reclamation Plant (WRP-4), located in Thermal, serves lands in the City and SOI that are located south of Miles Avenue. The Mid-Valley plant has a current capacity of just under 10 MGD, and processes approximately 5 MGD.

Solid Waste
Solid waste disposal services in the City of La Quinta are provided by the commercial vendor, Burrtec. Solid waste collected from the City of La Quinta residents and businesses is hauled to the Edom Hill Transfer Station in Cathedral City and is then transported to Lambs Canyon in the City of Beaumont. 177 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

a-e. Less than Significant Impact.

Domestic Water
CVWD provides domestic water services to the Project site. CVWD based its water demand calculations for its UWMP on the City’s Anticipated Land Use Plan which the Project will remain consistent with its designated land use. Additionally, the Project would be required to implement all water conservation measures imposed by CVWD under normal and drought conditions over the life of the Project. These include requirements of Executive Order B-29-15, which was issued in 2015 and is still in effect. This Executive Order mandates reductions in water use by 36% in the Coachella Valley. In response to the Executive Order, CVWD has adopted restrictions on water use that include limiting days on which landscaping can be irrigated, a prohibition on the use of fountains or water features, a prohibition on irrigation by any means other than drip or micro-spray systems, and a requirement that hotels offer their guests the option of not having towels and linens laundered daily. Should additional restrictions or regulations be implemented, the Project would be required to comply with them also. No new wells or additional water infrastructure or entitlements will be required. Based on the foregoing, CVWD would be able to fulfill the Project’s demand during normal and dry years. Impacts would be less than significant. 178 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 69 March August 2023 Wastewater
Wastewater generated from the Project site would be treated at either CVWD’s WRP 7 or WRP 4, which contains an excess of 2.0 MGD or 5 MGD, respectively. Implementation of the Project would generate wastewater at a rate of 230 gallons per day per dwelling unit. As the Project includes the development of 284 252 dwelling units, the Project would generate approximately 65,320 gallons per day of wastewater.

Therefore, implementation of the Project would result in an approximately 3.3 percent or 1.3 percent of the total capacity of wastewater treated at WRP 7 or WRP 4, respectively. This increase is considered minimal as these plants currently treat approximately 5 MGD (WRP 7) or 10 MGD (WRP 4) and would not result in a significant impact.

Stormwater
The City requires on-site retention basins for all new developments to manage surface water flows and reduce runoff from sources such as stormwater and landscape irrigation. The Project complies with this requirement by including two on-site retention basins to ensure stormwater is retained on-site.

Additional measures to address onsite stormwater management are described in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality. Project-related impacts to stormwater management systems are expected to be less than significant. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

Solid Waste
Solid waste disposal service for the City would be provided by Burrtec, which is required to meet all local, regional, state, and federal standards for solid waste disposal. Implementation of the Project would generate solid waste at a rate of 12.23 pounds per dwelling unit per year. As the Project includes the development of 284 252 dwelling units, the Project would generate approximately 1.7 tons of solid waste per year.

Solid waste generated at the Project site would be transported to the Edom Hill Transfer Station in northern Cathedral City and disposed of at Lamb Canyon Landfill in the City of Beaumont, which has a remaining capacity of 19.2 million cubic yards (2015). Due to the small scale of the Project, the Lamb Canyon Landfill has more than enough capacity to serve the proposed Project. Furthermore, Burrtec is required to meet all local, regional, state, and federal standards for solid waste disposal. Impacts would be less than significant.

WILDFIRE – If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response
plan or emergency evacuation plan?
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors,
exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project
occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire
or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency
water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks,
including downslope or downstream flooding or
landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope
instability, or drainage changes?
The Project site is not located in or near SRA or lands within a very high fire hazard severity zone; therefore, the Project would not exacerbate wildfire hazard risks or expose people or the environment to adverse environmental effects related to wildfires. As such, no impact would occur.

b) Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
a. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. All impacts to the environment, including impacts to habitat for fish and wildlife species, fish and wildlife populations, plant and animal communities, rare and endangered plants and animals, and historical and pre-historical resources were evaluated as part of this Initial Study. Throughout this Initial Study, where impacts were determined to be potentially significant, mitigation measures have been imposed to reduce those impacts to less than significant. Accordingly, with incorporation of the mitigation measures imposed throughout this Initial Study, the Project would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.

Impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels with mitigation incorporated. b. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The environmental evaluation of this Initial Study concluded that, with adherence to all mitigation measures, the Project’s cumulatively considerable impacts would be mitigated to less than significant levels.
c. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The Project could result in environmental impacts to humans directly or indirectly. All Project environmental impacts would be less than significant or less than 181 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Preconstruction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the preconstruction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and should be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors and birds-of-prey. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). If unavoidable, Project construction activities must begin during the nesting bird season (February 1st through August 31st), a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to initiation of ground disturbance and vegetation removal activities. The nesting pre-construction bird survey shall be conducted by a biologist familiar with identification of avian species known to occur in Riverside County. The nesting bird survey shall be conducted on foot inside the project boundary, including a 300-foot buffer for passerines (songbirds) and a 500-foot buffer for raptors in areas of suitable habitat.

Inaccessible areas will be surveyed using binoculars to the extent practical. If nests are found, an avoidance buffer (dependent upon species, the proposed work activity, the existing disturbances associated with land uses outside of the site) shall be determined and demarcated by the biologist with bright orange construction fencing, flagging, construction lathe, or other means to mark the boundary. If a raptor nest is observed in a tree proposed for removal, the applicant must consult with CDFW. All construction personnel shall be notified of the existence of the buffer zone and avoid entering the buffer zone during nesting season. No ground disturbing activities shall occur within this buffer area until the avian biologist has confirmed the breeding/nesting is completed and the young have fledged. Encroachment into the buffer shall occur only at the discretion of the qualified biologist.

BIO-2 Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City of La Quinta shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee.The Applicant shall pay the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee prior to building permit issuance.

CUL-1 A qualified archaeologist monitor shall be present during any ground disturbing activities during the project construction phase. In the case that archaeological materials are encountered during ground disturbing activities, work in the area shall cease and any deposits shall be treated according to Federal, State, and local guidelines. No further grading is permitted in the area of the discovery until the City approves the appropriate measure to protect the discovered resources. 182 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 73 March August 2023 CUL-2 In the event that human remains are uncovered during ground disturbing activities on the project site, no further disturbance shall occur, and all work shall cease until the County Coroner has made a determination of the origin and disposition of the remains. Ground disturbing activities and excavations shall not resume until the following has been addressed:

1. The County Coroner has been contacted and determined that no investigation to the cause of death is required, and

2. If the County Coroner determines that the remains are of Native American decent, the Coroner must notify Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will then determine the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section 5097.98.

GEO-1 Prior to the start of the proposed Project activities, all field personnel will receive a worker’s environmental awareness training on paleontological resources. The training will provide a description of the laws and ordinances protecting fossil resources, the types of fossil resources that may be encountered in the Project area, the role of the paleontological monitor, outlinessteps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery is made and provides contact information for the Project Paleontologist.

The training will be developed by the Project Paleontologist and can be delivered concurrent with other training including cultural, biological, safety, etc.

GEO-2 Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a professional paleontologist will be retained to prepare and implement a PRMMP for the proposed Project. The PRMMP will describe the monitoring required during excavations that extend into older Quaternary (Pleistocene) age sediments and the location of areas deemed to have a high paleontological resource potential. Part-time monitoring, or spot checking, may be required during shallow ground-disturbances (< 10 feet below ground surface) to confirm that sensitive geologic units are not being impacted. Monitoring will entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench sidewalls.

GEO-3 In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor will have the authority to temporarily divert the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and, if appropriate, collected. If the resource is determined to be of scientific significance, the Project Paleontologist shall complete the following:

1. Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered, all work in the immediate vicinity should be halted to allow the paleontological monitor, and/or Project Paleontologist to evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. If the fossils are determined to be potentially significant, the Project Paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) should recover them following standard field procedures for collecting paleontological as outlined in the PRMMP prepared for the project. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontologist and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. In this case, the paleontologist should have the authority to temporarily direct, divert or halt construction activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be removed in a safe and timely manner.

2. Fossil Preparation and Curation. The PRMMP will identify the museum that has agreed to accept fossils that may be discovered during project-related excavations. Upon completion of fieldwork, 183 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
3 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Desert SageLa Quinta Village SPA No. 3 IS/MND 74 March August 2023 all significant fossils collected will be prepared in a properly equipped laboratory to a point ready for curation. Preparation may include the removal of excess matrix from fossil materials and stabilizing or repairing specimens. During preparation and inventory, the fossils specimens will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level practical prior to curation at an accredited museum. The fossil specimens must be delivered to the accredited museum or repository no later than 90 days after all fieldwork is completed. The cost of curation will be assessed by the repository and will be the responsibility of the client.

GEO-4 Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the Project Paleontologist should prepare a final mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report should include discussion of the location, duration and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific significance of those fossils, and where fossils were curated.

TCR-1 Prior to any ground disturbing activities on the Project site, an approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall be present to monitor the site. Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the Monitor may request destructive construction halt and the Monitor shall notify a qualified Archaeologist to investigate and, if necessary, prepare a mitigation plan for submission to the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office.

3.21.5 Level of Significance after Mitigation
With incorporation of the above-mentioned mitigation measures, all Project-related impacts in regard to Mandatory Findings of Significance would be reduced to less than significant. 184 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

March 6, 2023
A-1 The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) appreciates your efforts to include the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) in the Troutdale Village project. We have reviewed the documents and have the following comments:
*The Mitigated Negative Declaration document included standard mitigation measures to address impacts to cultural resources. We found these measures to be sufficient.

Again, the Agua Caliente appreciates your interest in our cultural heritage. If you have questions or require additional information, please call me at (760) 423-3485. You may also email me at [email protected].

A-1 Response:

The comment supports the analysis contained in the Draft IS/MND and states the mitigation measures provided for cultural resources is appropriate. The City appreciates ACBCI’s review and confirmation of the required mitigation measures. No additional environmental issues under CEQA are raised, and no revisions or changes to the Final IS/MND are required to address or respond to the comment, and no further response is required.

Desert Sands Unified School District
Patrick Cisneros, Director, Facilities Services
March 10, 2023
B-1 This is in response to your request for comments on the above referenced project and its effect on public schools.

Please be advised, all actions toward residential and commercial development will result in an impact on our school system. The District’s ability to meet the educational needs of the public with new schools has been seriously impaired in recent years by local, state, and federal budgets that have an impact on the financing of new schools.

As you are aware, there is a school mitigation fee that is currently collected on all new development at the time building permits are issued.

B-1 Response:

The City acknowledges the comments and agrees that the project would be required to comply with the payment of all statutorily required impact fees, including the school mitigation fee. As stated in the Draft IS/MND, “The Project is required to pay the State mandated school impact fees which would assist in mitigating impacts to schools. Therefore, this fee would assure that impacts would be lessthan-significant levels.” (Draft IS/MND, pages 57-58) Accordingly, the Draft IS/MND has adequately documented that through regulatory compliance, the project would have a less-than-significant impact on schools and no further analysis or revisions to the Final IS/MND are required. 190 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

C-1 I attended the Troutdale presentation yesterday. The following are of great concern:

C-1 Response
The comment is an introduction to comments which follow. Please refer to Response to Comments C2 through C-6, below.

C-2 Entering the proposed community traveling south on Washington will require a u-turn at Washington and 50th. Currently, u-turns are not allowed.

There will not be a left turn from 50th Ave into Troutdale, a u-turn will be required at 50th and Park Ave.

The intersection is already saturated with traffic from the two schools, YMCA and Boys and Girls Club C2 Response
The comment restates information regarding the project’s access. The comment does not raise a specific issue with respect to the analysis in the Draft IS/MND. Transportation, including consistency with pedestrian and bicycle mobility and compliance with adopted design standards, is addressed in Section 3.17. As analyzed therein, impacts were found to be less than significant. With respect to the implication that U-turns at an existing congested intersection may have an environmental impact, it is noted that such “level of service” issues such as signal delay are no longer considered environmental topics under CEQA. Therefore, because the comment does not raise a specific environmental issue under CEQA, no further response can be provided or is required.

C-3 The high density of units and cars/traffic will be detrimental to mental and physical health.

C3 Response
The comment raises general environmental issues include traffic and physical health, which are addressed in the Sections 3.3, Air Quality, and 3.17, Transportation, of the Draft IS/MND. Because no specific issue with the analysis is raised by the comment, no more specific response can be provided.

Please refer to Sections 3.3 and 3.17 of the Draft IS/MND.

C-4 The design of complex is not in line with the surrounding community. The three story buildings along 50th Ave will block the view of our majestic mountains. I believe it is in the City's plan to protect our views? C4 Response
The proposed project has been revised to reduce the maximum proposed building height from 40’ to 28’, down from three-stories to two-stories. underlying zone. 192 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

C-5 Per the LQ General Plan - In 2009 CVWD reported that a total of 160,000 acre ft of water was pumped over water replenishment, resulting in an overdraft of 23,912 acre-feet, in the Lower Whitewater subbasin, which serves the City and other communities in the eastern Coachella Valley.

Is there a recent report, I would imagine there has been a greater amount of overdraft since 2009. The ground water is essential now and for future generations, are we overdeveloping? C5 Response
The comment raises an environmental issue, water supply, which is analyzed in Section 3.19, Utilities and Utility Systems, of the Draft IS/MND. As described therein, the Draft IS/MND found that “CVWD would be able to fulfill the Project’s demand during normal and dry years. Impacts would be less than significant” because the project is consistent with the underlying land uses assumed in the CVWD’s water projects and because the project would be required to comply with all water conservation measures mandated by CVWD. The comment does not raise a specific issue with the analysis in the Draft IS/MND; therefore, no more detailed response can be provided.

C-6 Evidently there is a bridge planned for the wash on 50th Ave, if so, wouldn't it make sense to construct the bridge prior to any development with in the area?
C6 Response
The referenced bridge is not a component of the proposed project and is not subject to the Draft IS/MND. No further response is required.

Response to Comment Letter D
DUNA La Quinta Homeowners Association
Keith G. Meyer, President Duna La Quinta HOA No. 1
March 22, 2023
D-1 I am the President of Board of Directors for Duna La Quinta HOA No. 1, which is located on Avenue 50 between Washington Street and Eisenhower Drive. Duna La Quinta includes three HOAs, totaling 184 single family and condominium units. I also am a registered Professional Traffic Engineer in the state of California, having prepared numerous environmental documents and traffic assessments during my career. I have reviewed the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and Transportation Analysis (TA) supporting the Troutdale Village Project and find them to be inadequate in the following areas:

D-1 Response
The comment serves as an introduction to comments which follow. Please refer to Responses D-2 through D-22, for responsive information.

D-2 Simultaneous Approval of Environmental Assessment, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Change, and Specific Plan for the Troutdale Residences.

Due to the requested increase in building height from 22 ft to 40 ft in the City Municipal Code, this project would be precedent-setting in the City of La Quinta and would change the character of La Quinta residential communities forever. This alone requires a separate environmental process and public hearing process. It should not be buried within one project.

D-2 Response
The comment raises issues related to building heights, which is addressed in the Aesthetics section of the Draft IS/MND. The comment does not raise a specific issue with the adequacy of the analysis, rather, it expressed the opinion of the commenter that increasing building heights from 22’ to 40’ should be analyzed as a separate environmental process. The Aesthetics analysis in the Draft IS/MND analyzes the potential for the project to include building heights up to 40’. However, between the circulation of the Draft IS/MND and preparation of the Final IS/MND, the project has been revised to reduce the maximum building heights to 28’ which is permitted within the RMH zoning district. Further, the total number of units has been reduced from 284 to 252 to reduce the bulk and scale of the project.

No further analysis is required because the reduction in unit counts and lower buildings heights would reduce impacts compared to the less-than-significant impacts disclosed in the Draft IS/MND.

D-3 Violation of City General Plan Image Corridors.

Avenue 50 is an “Image Corridor”, per the City’s General Plan. Threats to the City’s scenic image corridors include inappropriate and unattractive land uses. The three-story buildings proposed as part of the project are unacceptable, unlike any surrounding uses, and a violation to this policy. The Specific Plan for the project should be denied as it raises the allowable building height from 22 ft. to 40 ft. We therefore conclude the IS/MND’s finding of No Significant Impact is unsupported. 194 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

LA QUNITA VILLAGE APARTMENTS

FINAL INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION / RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RTC-10
OCTOBER 2023
D-3 Response
As analyzed in Section 3.1.1 of the Draft IS/MND, the project proposed to increase building heights from 22’ to 40’; however, the project included a Specific Plan that allows for development standards and regulations to be developed for individual sites. As analyzed in the Draft IS/MND,” the Project would be required to comply with the applicable development standards and design guidelines in the Troutdale Specific Plan and the City of La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC), which regulates the visual quality of new development and ensures that new development does not detract from any scenic attributes/qualities in the surrounding area.” Further, the Draft IS/MND demonstrates that such building heights, “will not impact the view of the mountains” (as shown in Figure 4 of the Draft IS/MND) and in combination with the Specific Plan and compliance with the LQMC, the project was determined not to conflict with applicable zoning standards and other regulations governing scenic quality.

Nonetheless In response, the project has been revised between the circulation of the Draft IS/MND and preparation of the Final IS/MND. Specifically, as described in Response to Comment D-2, the project has been revised to reduce the maximum building heights to 28’ which is permitted within the RMH zoning district and the Specific Plan allows for 28’ height within Image Corridors. Further, the total number of units has been reduced from 284 to 252 to reduce the bulk and scale of the project.

No further analysis is required because the reduction in unit counts and lower buildings heights would reduce impacts compared to the less-than-significant impacts disclosed in the Draft IS/MND.

D-4 Study Intersections.

Limiting the traffic study to three local intersections is inadequate, since major employment, entertainment and shopping are located north and east, and project traffic will travel to further intersections. The more congested intersections of Avenue 50/Jefferson Street and Highway 111/Washington Street must be included in the analysis.

D-4 Response
Please refer to Response to Comment D-13 which describes how the Study Area was determined. As described therein, the Study Area was determined based on direction from the City. It is noted that the existing traffic-generated uses are not part of the proposed project; therefore, they would be part of the existing traffic which is included in the analysis. Finally, the comment raises an issue, intersection level of service, that is no longer considered for purposes of traffic impacts under CEQA.

D-5 Background Data Collection is not representative of current existing conditions and thus renders any traffic operation analysis useless. The project TA does not consider peak season special events in La Quinta that have a major impact on area roadways, particularly Washington Street and Avenue 50.

D-5 Response
Regarding the existing traffic levels, please refer to Response to Comment D-14 through 17, below.

Regarding the reference to “peak season events”, neither CEQA nor the City of La Quina require that projects analyze all conditions. Further, as noted above, level of service is no longer the applicable 195 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

measure for determining impacts under CEQA. Thus, no further analysis is required and no revisions to the Final IS/MND are required.

D-6 Assumptions of Traffic Distribution are arbitrary, not based on empirical evidence, and have significant impact on the traffic forecasts, rendering the current forecasts and traffic operations useless.

D-6 Response
The traffic distribution was determined by a registered traffic engineer in consultation with the City of La Quinta, in accordance with the City’s Traffic Impact Study Guidelines in Engineering Bulletin (EB) 06-

13. The comment has not provided any evidence that the distribution is not correct.

D-7 VMT Analysis Exemption. This exemption violates the consultant’s own workplan agreement with the City. Not providing this evaluation violates CEQA guidelines, since the development is underserved by transit.

D-1 Response
Please refer to Response to Comment D-20 which clarifies that the project was analyzed per the City’s VMT requirements in EB 06-13 and determined to be exempt.

D-8 Lack of Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Analysis.

This evaluation should be included, as pedestrian crossings of Avenue 50 and Washington Street will have a significant impact on traffic signal operations. It is noted that the traffic consultant’s signal operations evaluations do not consider any pedestrian activations. The Project’s adjacency to Truman Elementary and La Quinta Middle Schools needs to be assessed as to the effects to children walking along the project site, as well as impact to parent dropoff/pickup queues, which can create significant congestion along Avenue 50 and affect signal timing at Washington Street.

D-8 Response
Preliminarily, the analysis does address the adequacy of pedestrian and bicycle accessibility in accordance with EB 06-13. The project proposes to provide pedestrian paths and bicycle facilities along both property frontages consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan. Additionally, the project will be constructing a bicycle facility along the south side of Avenue 50.

In addition, as explained above, level of service (congestion) is no longer considered for purposes of determining Transportation impacts under CEQA, therefore, the requested analysis is not required for purposes for the IS/MND and no revisions to the Final IS/MND are required. Nonetheless, the traffic analysis does include improvements as described above for multi-modal transportation improvements.

D-9 Lack of Street Improvements.

It is unconscionable that the City would allow a development of this magnitude to occur without bringing Avenue 50 to its full section. The traffic improvement plan, at a minimum, must provide widening of Avenue 50 to the east of Washington Street to the full Primary Arterial Standard. This would allow left 196 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

turning traffic to store in the left turn lane and would provide for pedestrian and bicycle safety. Even with these improvements, we are concerned about left turning traffic backing up from the westbound double left turn lanes at Washington Street. In addition, due to excessive speeds along Washington Street, deceleration and acceleration lanes should be provided before and after the Project entrance on the northbound side of Washington Street. This is no different than what has been provided on the southbound side of Washington Street at the entrances to La Quinta Country Club D-9 Response
Please refer to Response to Comment D-21, below, which explains that the project is conditioned to provide the required roadway improvements along its entire frontages along Washington Street and Avenue 50. In addition, and as explained above, CEQA no longer provides for impacts to be assessed based on level of surface, therefore, the comment does not address an environmental issue within the meaning of CEQA and no revisions to the Final IS/MND are required.

D-10 This project would be precedent-setting and change the character of La Quinta residential communities forever. We urge the City of La Quinta to reject the Environmental Assessment, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Change, and Specific Plan for the Troutdale Residences, and require separate Environmental Impact Statements for the Project and for the Citywide General Plan amendment that would raise building heights in residential communities.

D-10 Response
The city wishes to clarify that the proposed project includes a Specific Plan that would only apply to the project site, and would not change any citywide building height for residential communities.

Implementation of a Specific Plan only covers those particular parcels/properties within the boundaries of that Specific Plan, and the requirements of a Specific Plan can not be applied to other parcels without amending the boundaries of the Specific Plan. With respect to the change in proposed building heights specific to the project site, please see Response to Comments D-2 and D-3, above.

D-11 Simultaneous Approval of Environmental Assessment, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Change, and Specific Plan for the Troutdale Residences.

In general, it is recommended that environmental clearance be conducted separately for general plan amendments and specific plans, as these two types of plans have different scopes and scales. This allows for a more detailed and comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of each project. Due to the General Plan Amendment request to increase building height from 22 ft to 40 ft in the City Municipal Code, this project would be precedent-setting in the City of La Quinta and would change the character La Quinta residential communities forever. This alone would require a separate environmental process and public hearing process. It should not be buried within one project.

D-11 Response
The comment restates the same comment as Comment D-2. Please refer to Response to Comment D2 and D-3, above. In addition, the project description has been revised to eliminate the three-story 197 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

LA QUNITA VILLAGE APARTMENTS

FINAL INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION / RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RTC-13
OCTOBER 2023
components of the project, resulting in a final project that would be a maximum of 28’ and two stories, and the total number of units has been reduced.

D-12 Image Corridor Impact.

Avenue 50 is an “Image Corridor”, per the City’s General Plan. Threats to the City’s scenic image corridors include inappropriate and unattractive land uses, unattractive or inadequate landscaping, inadequately buffered parking, high walls, and berms that block views, and overhead power lines that degrade views. The City states that “recognizing that these Image Corridors create the sense of place in La Quinta, their protection must always be in the forefront of community and transportation design”.

The Project IS/MND states “The Project would be compatible with the size, scale, and aesthetic features of other existing homes located to the north, west, and future homes to the south of the Project site. “ This statement is clearly false, as there are no two or three-story homes in the vicinity of the Project.

The Project IS/MND states “LQMC Section 9.50.020, Height Limits and Setbacks Near Image Corridors, requires a maximum height of 22 feet within the first 150 feet from Avenue 50 and Washington Street.

The Specific Plan will provide modified standards that will allow a maximum height of 40 feet.” We argue that the project clearly violates the City’s General Plan and existing Municipal Code by raising the building height allowance and significantly impacting the views of the mountains along the Avenue 50 corridor. This General Plan Amendment should be separated out due to its City-wide importance.

D-12 Response
Please refer to Responses to Comments D-2, D-3, D-10 and D-11, above. Further, with respect to the 150’ setback from Avenue 50, the project proposes to increase heights to 28’ which can be requested in Specific Plan development standards and is proposed as such.

D-13 Study Intersections.

The Traffic Study includes three Study Area Intersections:

1. Washington Street and Avenue 50

2. Washington Street and Eisenhower Drive

3. Washington Street and Avenue 48
Limiting the traffic study to these three intersections is inadequate, seeing as traffic distributes primarily north and east. Major employment, entertainment and shopping are located north and east, therefore, the more congested intersections of Avenue 50/Jefferson Street and Highway 111/Washington Street must be included in the analysis.

D-13 Response
The project study area was scoped and approved by the City of La Quinta in accordance with the City of La Quinta General Plan. The revised TA included updated traffic counts, as requested by the Planning 198 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Commission at the March 28, 2023 Public Hearing, and also added the analysis of intersections of Washington Street and Sagebrush Avenue and Moon River Drive/Park Avenue and Avenue 50.

D-14 Background Data Collection.

This is the basis for all traffic forecasts and operations. We find the background data collection contained in the TA to be inadequate in both the year and month the data was collected. Given the inaccuracies of the base data, the forecasts and results are not defensible.

Traffic data was counted in November 2021. In 2021, the California economy and travel were still recovering after the fall from the peak year of 2019 due to the Covid pandemic. Strong demand for overnight accommodations and increased residential prices led to large gains in visitors to Coachella Valley in 2022 and 2023. This is witnessed by the variation in Palm Springs airport passenger traffic which was 42% higher in 2022 than in 2021. In January 2023, the Palms Springs airport passenger traffic was 42% higher than January 22. This traffic change directly affects Washington Street, Eisenhower Drive and Avenue 50 as they are the gateways to La Quinta Resort, other resorts in La Quinta, and part time residential properties in the area Therefore, the baseline traffic data must be updated to current conditions.

D-14 Response
The original traffic count data were collected on November 9, 2021 and approved by City staff in accordance with EB 06-13. However, at March 28, 2023 public hearing, La Quinta Planning Commission requested that the Transportation Analysis be updated to reflect new traffic counts consistent with existing conditions. New count data was collected the following week on March 30, 2023, and included in the revised analysis.

D-15 In November of each year, the Coachella Valley is not fully occupied with visitors and residents. As a result, traffic volumes on the subject roadways are not as high as they are in February and March, when the valley economy is in full swing, rental properties are full and out of city visitors are in attendance for the season and at special events. This is again witnessed by the variation in Palm Springs airport passenger traffic which was 48% higher in March 2022 than in November 2021. Therefore, the baseline traffic data must be updated to current conditions.

D-15 Response
Please refer to Response to Comment D-14.

D-16 Special Event considerations. There is no discussion of the impact to special events that greatly impact the Washington Street and Avenue 50 corridors, specifically, the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, the BNP Open Tennis tournament (because of the relationship to the La Quinta Resort) and the La Quinta Ironman.

on a case-by-case basis through the development of appropriate traffic management strategies that adequately addresses and control the temporary increased traffic.

D-17 Assumptions of Traffic Distribution.
a. The scoping document submitted to City staff proposed that traffic would be distributed as follows:
i. 60% to the north on Washington Street
ii. 15% to the south on Washington Street
iii. 15% to the west on Avenue 50
iv. 10% to the east on Avenue 50
The assumptions used for distribution have no empirical basis. Logic however would suggest that, as a residential development, there is no expectation that any traffic would travel west on Avenue 50 since there are no retail, commercial, entertainment or substantive employment destinations. As a traffic professional and long-time resident of La Quinta, I would estimate that traffic would be more logically distributed to 70% north on Washington, 20% to the east on Avenue 50 and 10% to the south on Washington Street. The traffic consultant should consult the Citywide transportation forecast model as the most defensible source of Origin-Destination distribution. The reason this is important is that access to the development will be right-turn-in and out along Washington and Avenue 50, thus forcing at least 50% of the traffic coming from Washington north to make U-turn at Avenue 50. This will increase the left turn pocket requirements and increasing the signal time allowance for that phase.

D-17 Response
The trip distribution has been updated and all assumptions were reviewed and approved by City staff in accordance with EB 06-13.

D-18 VMT Analysis Exemption. The project Traffic Analysis assumes to not have a significant transportation related CEQA impact by supposedly qualifying for the small project screening criterion as an affordable housing and small project. The affordable housing components of the development are 22%, thus meeting the CEQA threshold of 20% affordable units for exemption. Thus, However, 221 housing units of the project are market rate, and the site is served by low quality transit service (limited to Sunline Transit Route 7) which operates at 90-minute intervals in either direction. There is no transit service along Avenue 50. As a result, we will argue that the project is NOT exempt from CEQA required VMT impact analysis of the project in accordance with CEQA. Further, the traffic consultant stated in its scoping document with the City, that it “will conduct a VMT assessment per City’s revised VMT Guidelines dated June 2021 and submit for City staff review and approval.” This was never done and therefore a violation of the agreement with the City.

D-18 Response
VMT impacts were considered in accordance with the City of La Quinta Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Policy (VMT Policy) adopted July 13, 2021 via Planning Commission Resolution 2021-007and incorporated in EB 06-13. The VMT Policy establishes a Small Projects exemption that “applies to projects with low trip generation per existing CEQA exemptions or result in a 3,000 Metric Tons of 200 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e) per year screen level threshold” which is based on the Riverside County Climate Action Plan and SCAQMD draft interim guidance for assessing project-level GHG impacts. The Draft IS/MND determines the proposed project would have total annual CO2e emissions of approximately 1,964 MTCO2e, which is below the 3,000 MT CO2e screening threshold. Therefore, VMT Screening Assessment was conducted and included in the traffic report. The Project was concluded to be presumed to have a less than significant impact and is exempt from preparing a full VMT analysis per the City of La Quinta VMT Policy.

D-19 Lack of Pedestrian and Bike Analysis. The Transportation Analysis, and indeed the entire IS/MND, is absent any discussion of pedestrian or bicycle flow, safety or impacts to signalization. Assuming 2.5 persons per unit, the addition of 268 residences will add approximately 700 residents to the area. A portion of the residents will bike and walk for recreation or for school. Additional pedestrian activations of the signal at Avenue 50/Washington Street will reduce the available green time for through vehicles.

Since there is no sidewalk on the east side of Washington Street south of Avenue 50, all pedestrian traffic must cross Washington Street thus affecting the signal timing. In addition, there is no sidewalk on the south side of Avenue 50 east of Washington Street, therefore all pedestrian traffic must cross Avenue 50, again affecting signal timing. The adjacency of Truman Elementary and La Quinta middle schools are of great concern, as many school children already walk and bike to school, with others picked up by buses and parents queuing their vehicles along Avenue 50.

D-19 Response
The adequacy of pedestrian and bicycle accessibility is discussed in the Transportation Analysis, in accordance with EB 06-13. The project proposes to provide pedestrian paths and bicycle facilities along both property frontages consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan. Additionally, the project will be constructing a bicycle facility along the south side of Avenue 50.

D-20 Access to the project site is proposed via two gated driveways, one along Washington Street (approximately 220 ft. north of Avenue 50) and one along Avenue 50 (approximately 210 feet east of Washington Street). This is a great source of concern as, previously noted, the majority of traffic will approach the Project on Washington Street and will have to either make a U-turn at the 50th streetlight to head back north or turn into the property or make a left turn from eastbound Avenue 50 into the gate controlled secondary driveway.

Avenue 50 is currently only one lane westbound at this location with no sidewalks on the south side and no center turn lane. There are no bike lanes on this section of Avenue, nor on Avenue 50 west of Washington Street. There are no full roadway section improvements proposed as mitigation. This is inadequate for the proposed development as left turning traffic will impede through traffic on eastbound Avenue 50 (as well as double left turning traffic from southbound Washington Street) and will be a safety hazard for bicyclists. In addition, the double left turn on westbound Avenue 50 to southbound Washington Street routinely backs up and will back up into the access location for the Project.

Lastly, traffic on Washington Street consistently exceeds the posted speed limit and provides a safety hazard for right turning vehicles to and from the proposed main entrance on Washington Street. 201 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

The traffic improvement plan, at a minimum, must provide widening of Avenue 50 to the east of Washington Street to the full Primary Arterial Standard. This will allow left turning traffic to store in the left turn lane and will provide for pedestrian safety and bicycle lanes.

In addition, due to excessive speeds along Washington Street, deceleration and acceleration lanes should be provided before and after the Project entrance on the northbound side of Washington Street.

This is no different than what has been provided on the southbound side of Washington Street at the entrances to La Quinta Country Club.

D-20 Response
The project is conditioned to provide the required roadway improvements along its entire frontages along Washington Street and Avenue 50 including sidewalks, bicycle lanes and vehicular travel lanes consistent with the City of La Quinta General Plan. All required improvements will be constructed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

D-21 CLOSING
In closing, the Duna La Quinta Homeowners Association is opposed to this project, particularly due to the intensification of zoning, the increase in allowable building height from 22 ft. to 40 ft., the misrepresentation of actual traffic conditions, and the significant impact to the views along Avenue 50.

We are greatly disturbed that the City of La Quinta would allow this zoning and general plan change to municipal height codes to go forward, particularly given the potential impact to the residential communities adjacent to the project and throughout the City of La Quinta Again, this project would be precedent-setting and change the character of La Quinta residential communities forever. We urge the City of La Quinta to reject the Environmental Assessment, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Change, and Specific Plan for the Troutdale Residences, and require separate 203 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

Environmental Impact Statements for the Project and for the Citywide General Plan amendment that would raise building heights in residential communities.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments.

D-21 Response
The comment restates claims made in Comments D-2, D-3, D-10, D-11 and D-12 regarding building heights and a request to prepare a separate environmental document. Please refer to Response to Comments D-2, D-3, D-10, D-11 and D-12. Further, as noted above, the project has been revised to reduce maximum building heights to 28’, thus, the comment has been addressed through revisions to the project. These changes do not require revisions to the analysis in the Final IS/MND because they would reduce the physical effects of the project on the environment by reducing building heights previously analyzed in the Draft IS/MND.

E-1 The IID has reviewed the project information and has the following comments:

1. IID will not begin any studies, engineering or estimate costs to provide electrical service to the project until the applicant submits a customer project application (available at http://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=12923 and detailed loading information, panel sizes, project schedule and estimated in-service date.

2. However, based on the preliminary information provided to IID, the district can accommodate the power requirements of the project by upgrading the Marshall Substation bank no. 2, from a 25 MVA to a 40/50 MVA transformer and adding one (1) new distribution feeder (conduit and cable) out of the Marshall Substation to the proposed development. It will also require underground/overhead distribution backbone circuit reconfigurations of existing facilities and regular distribution line extensions.

E1 Response
The comment supports the analysis contained in the Draft IS/MND and states IID can provide service to the project. The city appreciates IID’s review. No additional environmental issues under CEQA are raised, and no revisions or changes to the Final IS/MND are required to address or respond to the comment.

F-1 Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and Existing Mitigation Measure BIO-2.

CDFW recommends replacing existing Mitigation Measure BIO-2 with the following mitigation measure to reduce impacts to less than significant:

MM BIO-2: CVMSHCP Compliance
Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City of La Quinta shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee.

F-1 Response:

The City will replace existing Mitigation Measure BIO-2 in the revised IS/MND with the above recommended mitigation measure.

F-2 Nesting Bird Surveys and Mitigation Measure BIO-1.

CDFW recommends that disturbance of occupied nests of migratory birds and raptors within the Project site be avoided any time birds are nesting on-site. CDFW recommends replacing existing Mitigation Measure BIO-1 with the following mitigation measure to reduce impacts to less than significant:

MM BIO-1: Nesting Bird Surveys
Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than three (3) days prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and should be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors and birdsof-prey. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.

The City will replace existing Mitigation Measure BIO-1 in the revised IS/MND with the above recommended mitigation measure.

F-3 Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia)
Due to the potential for burrowing owl to move into disturbed sites, CDFW recommends that prior to commencing Project activities, focused and preconstruction surveys for burrowing owl be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). CDFW recommends the revised MND include specific avoidance and minimization measures to ensure that impacts to burrowing owls are reduced to less than significant.

CDFW recommends the revised MND include the following mitigation measure to reduce impacts to less than significant:

MM BIO-[A]: Burrowing Owl Surveys
Prior to the start of Project activities, focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance, minimization, and monitoring actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites, acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures if avoidance is proposed. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow cannot be avoided, the Burrowing Owl Plan shall also describe relocation actions that will be implemented. Proposed implementation of burrow exclusion and closure should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated as exclusion is not in itself an avoidance, minimization, or mitigation method and has the possibility to result in take. If impacts to occupied burrows cannot be avoided, information shall be provided regarding adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls along with proposed relocation actions.

The Permittee shall implement the Burrowing Owl Plan following CDFW review and approval.

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities.

F-3 Response:

The City appreciates CDFW’s concerns that habitat assessments conducted outside of the burrowing owl breeding season have less potential to detect burrowing owl. Note that based on the results of the Biological Technical Report, no burrows greater than 4 inches in diameter were observed capable of supporting burrowing owl in disturbed habitat onsite during the November 3, 2021 habitat assessment. 209 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

LA QUNITA VILLAGE APARTMENTS

FINAL INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION / RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RTC-25
OCTOBER 2023
Further, soils onsite have been mechanically disturbed and compacted from pedestrian and vehicle traffic, routine weed abatement activities, historic light grading, and adjacent development. Soil compaction on the project site discourages use by fossorial species. While the City acknowledges that burrowing owls have a potential to move onto disturbed areas on the project site, this first portion of this comment requests focused burrowing owl surveys to be conducted, which are not necessary. As previously noted, no suitable burrows were observed onsite during the initial field investigation, the site has been subject to routine anthropogenic disturbances, and is isolated from occupied burrowing owl habitat, by existing development; therefore, impacts have been appropriately determined to be less than significant. As such, focused surveys for burrowing owl are not warranted.

Out of an abundance of caution, and to ensure burrowing owl remain absent from the project site, the City will clarify M-BIO-1 to add the second portion of the recommended language for pre-construction nesting bird surveys as it pertains to pre-construction burrowing owl clearance surveys:

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version).

No additional mitigation is required.

F-4 Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii)
CDFW is concerned that the field assessment was insufficient in timing and scope to detect desert tortoise on the Project site. Chapter 4 of the Desert Tortoise (Mojave Population) Field Manual indicates that “surveys should be conducted during the desert tortoise’s most active periods (April through May or September through October)” (USFWS, 2009, p. 4-8). Based on a review of CNDDB and BIOS, the Project site is within the range of desert tortoise, and vegetation on the project site provides suitable habitat for desert tortoise. CDFW recommends that prior to commencing Project activities, both focused and preconstruction surveys for desert tortoise should be conducted by a qualified biologist.

F-4 Response:

The City appreciates CDFW’s concerns; however, the habitat assessment was conducted on November 3, 2021, three days after desert tortoise’s most active known period (September-October). Further, the project site is located in an urban setting, and no burrows capable of supporting desert tortoise were observed during the habitat assessment. Although alkali scrub known to support desert tortoise occurs onsite, the lack of burrows and location within an urban setting would prevent this species from foraging, nesting, or dispersing in that habitat on the project site. Further, the project site is isolated from occupied desert tortoise habitat by existing development. There are no undeveloped habitats connecting to the project site that would support desert tortoise movement. As such, focused surveys for desert tortoise are not warranted and no additional mitigation is required.

F-5 Special-Status Plant Surveys
CDFW is concerned that the field assessment was not conducted at the appropriate time of year to detect special-status plants on the Project site, and that the presence of special-status plant species onsite was 210 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

LA QUNITA VILLAGE APARTMENTS

FINAL INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION / RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RTC-26
OCTOBER 2023
not determined through floristic based surveys. As such, special-status plant surveys are recommended to be conducted prior to disturbance activities to ensure no special-status plants are onsite.

MM BIO-[C]: Special-Status Plant Surveys
A thorough floristic-based assessment of special-status plants and natural communities, following CDFW's Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (CDFW 2018 or most recent version) shall be performed by a qualified biologist prior to commencing Project activities. Should any state-listed plant species be present in the Project area, the Project proponent shall obtain an Incidental Take Permit for those species not covered under the CVMSHCP prior to the start of Project activities.

F-5 Response:

The City appreciates CDFW’s concerns; however, as stated in the Biological Technical Report, elevation at the project site is not suitable for most of the special-status plants known to occur within the region.

Further, the project site has been mechanically disturbed and compacted by weed abatement activities, light grading, and pedestrian/vehicle traffic, which negatively impacts seedbank and promotes proliferation of non-native plant species. Finally, as the City is a Permittee to the CVMSHCP, and the project is a covered activity, potential project impacts to any CVMSHCP covered plant species would be considered less than significant and no additional mitigation is required.

F-6 Minimizing Impacts to Other Species
CDFW is concerned about the potential for previously undetected wildlife to occur on the Project site and to be injured or killed by ground-disturbing and construction activities. To reduce impacts to less than significant, CDFW recommends inclusion of a mitigation measure to allow non-listed, non-specialstatus terrestrial wildlife to leave or be moved out of harm’s way.

F-6 Response:

The City acknowledges CDFW’s concerns. Such impacts are not considered under any of the applicable CEQA thresholds; therefore, there are no potentially significant impacts to non-listed wildlife.

F-7 Artificial Light
Because of the potential for artificial lighting at night to negatively impact wildlife, CDFW recommends a revised MND include the following mitigation measure:

MM BIO-[E]: Artificial Light
During Project construction and operation, the City of La Quinta shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City shall ensure that lighting for Project activities is shielded, cast downward, and does not spill over onto other properties or upward into the night sky following International Dark-Sky Association standards. The City shall ensure use of LED lighting with a 211 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

LA QUNITA VILLAGE APARTMENTS

FINAL INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION / RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RTC-27
OCTOBER 2023
correlated color temperature of 3,000 Kelvins or less, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler.

F-7 Response
The City acknowledges and appreciates CDFW’s concern that impacts to biological resources from proposed artificial light sources were not adequately addressed in the MND. The City has adopted development regulations which include standards related to light and glare which all projects, including the proposed project, are required to comply with. These standards are incorporated as part of La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Section 9.10.150. With regulatory conformance to the LQMC, artificial light sources would be shielded and directed away from adjacent properties and impacts would be less than significant.

F-8 Construction Noise
The MND indicates that noise levels would be highest during grading due to use of “a grader, a dozer, two (2) excavators, two (2) backhoes, and a scraper” and that noise levels may reach 70 to 74 dBA.

Other construction phases are estimated to generate noise between 63 and 66 dBA, which exceeds exposure levels that may adversely affect wildlife species (55 to 60 dBA). Because of the potential for construction noise to negatively impact wildlife, CDFW recommends the revised MND include specific avoidance and minimization measures to ensure that impacts to wildlife are reduced to less than significant.

F-8 Response:

The City acknowledges and appreciates CDFW’s concern. The City’s Municipal Code, Section 6.08.050 Disturbances by Construction Noise, limits hours of operation for construction activity based on time of year. From October 1 through April 30th, hours are limited from 7:00AM to 5:00PM Monday through Friday and 8:00AM to 5:00PM on Saturday. Between May 1 and September 30th, hours are extended to 6:00AM to 7:00PM Monday through Friday but remain 8:00AM to 5:00PM on Saturday. In addition, the General Plan Chapter IV, Environmental Hazards, Noise Section establishes goals and policies related to both construction and operational noise. Through regulatory conformance with the LQMC and La Quinta General Plan, construction noise would be limited and would be less than significant as disclosed in the Draft IS/MND.

F-9 CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Program
A flood control channel occurs east of the project site. The MND does not include avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to prevent impacts from Project-related construction, including staging and access, to either the flood channel or biological resources that use the flood channel. Fish and Game Code section 1602 requires an entity to notify CDFW prior to commencing any activity that may do one or more of the following: substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow of any river, stream, or lake; substantially change or use any material from the bed, channel or bank of any river, stream, or lake; or deposit debris, waste or other materials that could pass into any river, stream or lake.

OCTOBER 2023
The City appreciates CDFW’s concern that potential project impacts to the flood control channel east of the project site were not adequately addressed or mitigated for in the MND. Note that the Biological Technical Report states that project activities are not expected to encroach into the flood control channel and as such, a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW is not required. Further, there are already regulations in place related to impacts to drainages under Section 1600 of the Fish and Game Code, as well as sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. If the proposed project footprint changes to result in impacts to these regulated drainage areas, the project would comply with existing regulations related to the regulatory permits which may require additional environmental review; however, because such impacts are not currently anticipated, no additional mitigation measures are required. Additionally, Standard Best Management Practices will be in place during construction to prevent potential indirect impacts to the adjacent flood control channel.

F-10 Environmental Data
CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e).) Accordingly, please report any special-status species and natural communities detected during project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB).

F-10 Response
The City thanks CDFW for this information.

F-11 Environmental Document Filing Fees
The project, as proposed, would have an impact on fish and/or wildlife, and assessment of environmental document filing fees is necessary. Fees are payable upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the Lead Agency and serve to help defray the cost of environmental review by CDFW.

Payment of the environmental document filing fee is required in order for the underlying project approval to be operative, vested, and final. (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, § 753.5; Fish & G. Code, § 711.4; Pub. Resources Code, § 21089.)

1 Introduction
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that a public agency adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) take affirmative steps to determine that approved mitigation measures are implemented after project approval. The lead or responsible agency must adopt a reporting and monitoring program for the mitigation measures incorporated into a project or included as conditions of approval. The program must be designed to ensure compliance with the MND during project implementation (California Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6(a)(1)).

This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be used by the City of La Quinta (City) to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures identified in the MND for the proposed La Quinta Village Apartment Project (project) located at intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 in La Qunita, California (project) when construction begins. The City, as the lead agency, will be responsible for ensuring that all mitigation measures are carried out. Implementation of the mitigation measures would reduce impacts to below a level of significance for biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils and tribal cultural resources.

The remainder of this MMRP consists of a table that identifies the mitigation measures by resource for each project component. Table 1 identifies the mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements, list of mitigation measures, party responsible for implementing mitigation measures, timing for implementation of mitigation measures, agency responsible for monitoring of implementation, and date of completion. With the MND and related documents, this MMRP will be kept on file at the following location:

GEO-1 Prior to the start of the proposed Project
activities, all field personnel will receive a worker’s environmental awareness training on paleontological
resources. The training will provide a description of
the laws and ordinances protecting fossil resources,
the types of fossil resources that may be
encountered in the Project area, the role of the
paleontological monitor, outlines steps to follow in
the event that a fossil discovery is made and
provides contact information for the Project
Paleontologist. The training will be developed by the
Project Paleontologist and can be delivered
concurrent with other training including cultural,
biological, safety, etc.

GEO-2 Prior to the commencement of grounddisturbing activities, a professional paleontologist will be retained to prepare and implement a PRMMP
for the proposed Project. The PRMMP will describe
the monitoring required during excavations that
extend into older Quaternary (Pleistocene) age
sediments, and the location of areas deemed to
have a high paleontological resource potential. Parttime monitoring, or spot checking, may be required during shallow ground-disturbances (< 10 feet below
ground surface) to confirm that sensitive geologic

units are not being impacted. Monitoring will entail
the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas
and trench sidewalls.

GEO-3 In the event that a paleontological resource
is discovered, the monitor will have the authority to
temporarily divert the construction equipment
around the find until it is assessed for scientific
significance and, if appropriate, collected. If the
resource is determined to be of scientific
significance, the Project Paleontologist shall
complete the following:

1. Salvage of Fossils. If fossils are discovered,
all work in the immediate vicinity should be
halted to allow the paleontological monitor,
and/or Project Paleontologist to evaluate the
discovery and determine if the fossil may be
considered significant. If the fossils are
determined to be potentially significant, the
Project Paleontologist (or paleontological
monitor) should recover them following
standard field procedures for collecting
paleontological as outlined in the PRMMP
prepared for the Project. Typically, fossils
can be safely salvaged quickly by a single
paleontologist and not disrupt construction
activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such
as complete skeletons or large mammal
fossils) require more extensive excavation
and longer salvage periods. In this case the
paleontologist should have the authority to
temporarily direct, divert, or halt construction
activity to ensure that the fossil(s) can be
removed in a safe and timely manner.

2. Fossil Preparation and Curation. The PRMMP
will identify the museum that has agreed to
accept fossils that may be discovered during
project-related excavations. Upon
completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils
collected will be prepared in a properly
equipped laboratory to a point ready for
curation. Preparation may include the
removal of excess matrix from fossil
materials and stabilizing or repairing
specimens. During preparation and
inventory, the fossils specimens will be
identified to the lowest taxonomic level
practical prior to curation at an accredited
museum. The fossil specimens must be
delivered to the accredited museum or
repository no later than 90 days after all
fieldwork is completed. The cost of curation
will be assessed by the repository and will be
the responsibility of the client.

GEO-4 Upon completion of ground disturbing
activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the
Project Paleontologist should prepare a final
mitigation and monitoring report outlining the results
of the mitigation and monitoring program. The report
should include discussion of the location, duration
and methods of the monitoring, stratigraphic
sections, any recovered fossils, and the scientific
significance of those fossils, and where fossils were
curated.
