15455 Supplemental VMT.docx
May 31, 2023
Mr. John Gamlin
CM Wave Development, LLC
2440 Junction Place, Suite 200
Boulder, CO 81301

CLUB AT CORAL MOUNTAIN SUPPLEMENTAL VMT ASSESSMENT
Dear Mr. John Gamlin:

The firm of Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to submit this Supplemental Assessment of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for the proposed Club at Coral Mountain development (“Project”), which is located on the southwest corner of re-aligned Madison Street at 58th Avenue in the City of La Quinta. This letter provides information regarding Project residential and non-residential VMT generated by the Alternative 2 “Existing Entitlements” scenario presented in the CORAL

MOUNTAIN ALTERNATIVES TRIP GENERATION AND AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS COMPARISON letter prepared by Urban Crossroads, Inc. (May 2021).

The 2021 Trip Generation Alternatives letter indicated that Alternative 2 is anticipated to have a higher daily VMT and per capita VMT because it generates more daily trips and lacks the full complement of prior proposed land uses (no C-T Zone, surf wave basin, or hotel).

The Project does not change existing General Plan land use or zoning designations for the site, consistent with the approved Andalusia Specific Plan and Alternative 2 analyzed in the Final Environmental Impact Report Coral Mountain Resort (SCH #2021020310). A Specific Plan Amendment is proposed to adjust the location and layout of open space–recreation and low density residential areas with minor adjustments to the respective acreages of existing land use designations.

The Project consists of a commercial corner (60,000 square feet of retail), an 18-hole golf course, and up to 750 residential units. The Project site plan is shown on Exhibit 1. A supplemental LOS assessment has been prepared in a separate document.

To ensure that this supplemental VMT assessment is consistent with technical studies prepared for Final Environmental Impact Report Coral Mountain Resort (SCH #2021020310), the “without Project” datasets are consistent with those presented in the February 2021 Coral Mountain Specific Plan Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis.

BACKGROUND
Changes to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines were adopted in December 2018, which require all lead agencies to adopt VMT as a replacement for automobile delay-based level of service (LOS) as the measure for identifying transportation impacts for land use projects. 743 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
CM Wave Development, LLC
May 31, 2023
This statewide mandate went into effect July 1, 2020. To aid in this transition, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released a Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December of 2018) (Technical Advisory) (1). Based on OPR’s Technical Advisory, the City of La Quinta adopted Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Policy (July 2021) (2) (City Guidelines), which documents the City’s VMT analysis methodology and approved impact thresholds.

VMT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The City Guidelines are consistent with the VMT analysis methodology recommended by OPR. As outlined in the La Quinta Guidelines, a Mixed-Use project such as Coral Mountain, which includes both residential and non-residential uses has each type of uses analyzed independently, applying the following significance thresholds for each land use component:
• For Residential Uses, VMT per resident exceeding a level of (1) 15 percent below the Citywide per resident VMT OR (2) 15 percent below regional VMT per resident, whichever is more stringent.
• For Retail or related uses such as a golf course, a net increase in the total existing VMT for the region.

PROJECT SCREENING
Consistent with City Guidelines, projects that meet certain screening thresholds based on their location and project type may be presumed to result in a less than significant transportation impact. The following screening criteria are described within the City Guidelines:
• Step 1: Project Type Screening
• Step 2: Transit Priority Area (TPA) Screening
• Step 3: Low VMT Area Screening
A land use project need only meet one of the above screening criteria to result in a less than significant impact. For the purposes of this supplemental assessment, the VMT screening process has been conducted using the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RIVTAM). As noted in the February 2021 Coral Mountain Specific Plan Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis, the La Quinta Guidelines allow retail projects of less than 70,000 square feet to be screened out.

Because the retail component of the Project is less than 70,000 square feet, the retail portion of the Project is screened out.

As noted in the February 2021 Coral Mountain Specific Plan Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis, the site location is not within a TPA. The Project is located in RIVTAM traffic analysis zone (TAZ) 4742, which also is not a low VMT generating TAZ. Exhibit 2 shows the Project area RIVTAM traffic analysis zones.

Since none of the project level screening criteria were met for residential and golf uses, a full project level VMT analysis has been prepared.

PROJECT VMT ASSESSMENT
Consistent with the February 2021 Coral Mountain Specific Plan Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis, Project VMT has been calculated using RIVTAM. Socioeconomic data (SED) and other model inputs are associated with each TAZ. Out of several different variables in the model SED, the VMT analysis mainly focused on population, households and employment that are used in the trip generation component. The model runs a series of complex steps to estimate daily trip productions and attractions by various trip purposes for each TAZ.

Productions and attractions are computed by RIVTAM for each trip purpose, and trip lengths are derived for each zone pair from the respective skim matrices in the model to compute the production and attraction VMT by purpose.

Adjustments in socio-economic data (SED) (i.e., population and employment) have been made to a separate TAZ within the RIVTAM model to reflect the Project’s proposed population and employment uses. Separate TAZs are used to isolate the Project’s VMT.

Table 1 summarizes the service population (population and employment) estimates for the Project. It should be noted that the employment estimates have been developed from land use to employment generation factors from the Riverside County General Plan but modified for the specific Project characteristics.

TABLE 1: POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT ESTIMATES
Land Use Estimated Service Population
Residential 1,875 Residents
Golf Facilities 113 Employees
Commercial Retail 240 Employees
Total: 2,228 Service Population
Adjustments to population and employment factors for the Project TAZs were made to the RIVTAM base year model (2012) and the cumulative year model (2040). Each model was then run with the updated SED factors included for the Project TAZs.

PROJECT RESIDENTIAL VMT CALCULATION
Consistent with recommendations contained in the La Quinta Guidelines, the residential calculation of VMT is based upon the home-based project-generated VMT per population. This calculation focuses on the occupants of dwelling units within the Project land uses, whereas golf employees and patrons are evaluated separately using the boundary method discussed below.

Table 2 shows the home-based VMT associated with the Project for both baseline and cumulative conditions. VMT estimates are provided for both the base year model (2012) and cumulative year model (2040), and linear interpolation was used to determine the Project’s home-based baseline (2020) VMT.

TABLE 2: BASELINE AND CUMULATIVE PROJECT RESIDENTIAL HOME-BASED VMT Project 2012 Project 2040 Project 2020
(interpolated)
Residents 1,875 1,875 1,875
VMT 23,992 26,232 24,632
VMT / Resident 12.80 13.99 13.14
For baseline (2020) conditions, the residential portion of the Project generates 24,632 HomeBased VMT. There are an estimated 1,875 Project residents. The result is approximately 13.14 home-based VMT / Capita for the 2020 Baseline with Project conditions. In addition, the cumulative (2040) Project scenario results in approximately 13.99 VMT / SP.

For comparison purposes, Citywide home-based VMT estimates have been also developed from the “with Project” RIVTAM model run for baseline conditions. Once total home-based VMT for the area is calculated, total area VMT is then normalized by dividing by the population as shown on Table 3.

TABLE 3: BASE YEAR CITYWIDE HOME-BASED VMT
Category City of La Quinta
VMT 544,993
Population 42,000
VMT / Resident 12.98
The estimates of baseline residential home-based Project VMT / Capita are compared to the City of La Quinta VMT of 12.98 home-based VMT / Capita. The City of La Quinta guidelines indicate that residential VMT exceeding the threshold of 15 percent below the Citywide VMT per resident (11.03 VMT / capita) represents a Project impact. The Project home-based VMT / Capita of 13.14 is greater than the City VMT / Capita threshold, indicating a potentially significant VMT impact.

PROJECT GOLF COURSE IMPACT ON VMT
As noted above, the VMT analysis methodology for non-residential uses focuses on the net increase in the total existing VMT for the region. The golf facilities portion of the project consists of approximately 113 employees.

Travel activity associated with total link-level VMT was extracted from the “without Project employment” and “with Project employment” RIVTAM model run for 2012 and 2040 conditions, then interpolated for baseline (2020) conditions. This methodology is commonly referred to as “boundary method” and includes the total VMT for all vehicle trips with one or both trip ends within a specific geographic area.

The “boundary method” VMT per service population for the CVAG subregion is utilized to normalize VMT into a standard unit for comparison purposes, focusing on the total population and employment in the Coachella Valley. Once total VMT for the area is calculated, total area VMT is then normalized by dividing by the respective service population (i.e., population and employment of the Coachella Valley) as shown on Table 4.

To determine whether there is a significant impact using the boundary method, CVAG area VMT with the project employment is compared to without project conditions.

TABLE 4: BASE YEAR SUB-REGIONAL LINK-LEVEL VMT
Without Project
Employment
With Project
Employment
VMT Interacting with CVAG Area 15,173,739 15,179,349
CVAG Area Population 510,550 510,550
CVAG Area Employment 193,090 193,203
VMT / Service Population 21.56 21.57
The CVAG subregion VMT / SP without Project employment is estimated at 21.56, whereas with the Project employment, the CVAG subregion VMT is estimated at 21.57. The project’s effect on VMT (for non-residential uses) is considered significant because it results in a cumulative linklevel boundary CVAG VMT per service population increase under the plus project condition compared to the no project condition.

PROJECT DESIGN FEATURES FOR VMT REDUCTION
Transportation demand management (TDM) strategies have been evaluated for the purpose of reducing VMT impacts determined to be potentially significant. The Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity (CAPCOA, 2021) provides information on individual measures for potential reduction in VMT.

Consistent with the February 2021 Coral Mountain Specific Plan Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis, reductions in project-generated VMT could be realized via a combination of design elements to enhance bicycle / golf cart / pedestrian accommodations and internal site connections between the commercial corner, golf clubhouse, and residences. However, the effectiveness of these strategies to reduce single-occupant auto travel are reduced in comparison to the full complement of prior proposed land uses (no C-T Zone, surf wave basin, or hotel).

The Project will include improved design elements to enhance walkability and connectivity.

Improved street network characteristics within the Project include sidewalk coverage, building setbacks, street widths, pedestrian crossings, presence of street trees, and a host of other physical variables that differentiate pedestrian- and golf cart- oriented environments from autooriented environments.

The Project will provide a pedestrian access network that internally links all uses and connects to all existing or planned external streets and pedestrian facilities contiguous with the project site.

The Project will minimize barriers to pedestrian and golf cart access and interconnectivity. 5 747 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

The Project’s implementation of these measures could provide for a potential reduction in Project home based VMT of 3%. Project design features could therefore potentially reduce the project home-based VMT per capita of 13.14 to 12.75, which is still higher than the City’s threshold of

11.03 VMT per capita. In addition, the golf-related VMT / SP of 21.57 impact is not eliminated by the 3% VMT reduction.

CONCLUSION
The Project evaluated in this supplemental assessment does not change existing General Plan land use or zoning designations for the site, consistent with the approved Andalusia Specific Plan and Alternative 2 analyzed in the Final Environmental Impact Report Coral Mountain Resort (SCH #2021020310). It consists of a commercial corner (60,000 square feet of retail), an 18-hole golf course, and up to 750 residential units.

In summary, travel demand modeling of VMT for the Project based upon City of La Quinta guidelines indicates a potential impact for residential uses and golf uses. With project design features, the VMT could potentially be reduced, but the VMT impacts are not eliminated, as anticipated in the CORAL MOUNTAIN ALTERNATIVES TRIP GENERATION AND AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS COMPARISON letter prepared by Urban Crossroads, Inc. (May 2021).

5 1 Summary and Requirements
The environmental review of the Coral Mountain Project (Project) is being prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. The City is the Lead Agency for the planning and environmental review of the proposed Project. The City has identified the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) as the Public Water System (PWS) that will supply water for the proposed Project and has requested that CVWD assist in preparing a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) as part of the environmental review for the Project.

The Project is in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County. The property is generally vacant and undeveloped with CVWD irrigation mains, numerous dirt roads and hiking trails. Various desert vegetation is found throughout the site. The site is bounded to the east by Madison Street, to the north by 58th Avenue, existing levees and the Coral Mountain to the west and southwest, and 60th Avenue to the south.

The Project proposes to develop approximately 387 acres of vacant land to include three planning areas: Planning Area III (PA-III) Residential, Planning Area V (PA-V) Neighborhood Commercial, and Planning Area VI (PA-VI) Golf/Open Space. PA-III consists of approximately 191.8 acres of land and will allow the construction of up to 750 single family attached and detached dwellings and affiliated amenities. In addition to residential acreage, PA III also includes a 5.9-acre sports club, a 4-acre golf club, a 3-acre active amenity park to include both passive and active recreation activities, two restaurants located inside the sports club and golf club, a 12-acre lake and 2 acres of golf maintenance area.

This WSA determined that the total projected water demand for the Project is 1,217.01 AFY, or

3.14 acre-feet per acre. This WSA demonstrates that sufficient water supplies exist, or will exist based on current water planning assumptions, to meet the projected demands of the Project, in addition to current and future projected water demands within CVWD’s service area in normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years over a 20-year projection. This WSA will be reviewed every five years, or in the event that the water planning assumptions have changed, until the Project begins construction to ensure it remains accurate and no significant changes to either the Project or available water supply has occurred. Consistent with the provisions of SB 610, neither this WSA nor its approval shall be construed to create a right or entitlement to water service or any specific level of water service, and shall not impose, expand, or limit any duty concerning the obligation of CVWD to provide certain service to its existing customers or to any future potential customers.

This WSA does not constitute an agreement to provide water service to the Project, and does not entitle the Project, Project Applicant, or any other person or entity to any right, priority or 755 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
6 allocation in any supply, capacity, or facility. To receive water service, the Project will be subject to an agreement with CVWD, together with any and all applicable fees, charges, plans and specifications, conditions, and any and all other applicable CVWD requirements in place and as amended from time to time. Nor does anything in this WSA prevent or otherwise interfere with CVWD’s discretionary authority to declare a water shortage emergency in accordance with the Water Code.

1.1 Regulatory Requirements
This WSA provides an assessment of the availability of sufficient water supplies during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years over a 20-year projection to meet the projected demands of the Project, in addition to existing and planned future water demands of CVWD, as required by Senate Bill (SB) 610 and SB 1262. This WSA also includes identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, or agreements relevant to the identified water supply for the Project and quantities of water received in prior years pursuant to those entitlements, rights, contracts, and agreements.

This WSA has been prepared in compliance with the requirements under SB 610 and SB 1262 by MSA Consulting in consultation with CVWD and the City. This WSA does not relieve the Project from complying with all applicable state, county, city, and local ordinances or regulations, including the CVWD Landscape Ordinance and indoor water use performance standards provided in the California Water Code (CWC).

This WSA will be reviewed every five years, or in the event that the water planning assumptions have changed, until the Project begins construction on all planning areas, to ensure it remains accurate and no significant changes to either the Project or available water supply has occurred.

The Project applicant shall notify CVWD when construction of all planning areas begins.

1.1.1 Senate Bill 610
On January 1, 2002, Senate Bill 610 (SB 610) was enacted and codified in CWC Section 10910 et seq., requiring the preparation of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for certain new development projects. As stated in SB 610, the purpose of a WSA is to determine whether the PWS’s “total projected water supplies available during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry water years during a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the PWS’s existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.”
CWC Section 10912 defines a “project” as any of the following:
• A proposed residential development of more than 500 dwelling units; • A proposed shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet of floor space; • A proposed commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet of floor space;
756 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
7 • A proposed hotel or motel, or both, having more than 500 rooms; • A proposed industrial, manufacturing, or processing plant, or industrial park, planned to house more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet of floor space;
• A mixed-use project that includes one or more of the projects specified in this subdivision; or
• A project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to, or greater than, the amount of water required by a 500-dwelling unit project (about 250 acre-feet per year).

The intent of SB 610 is to improve the link between information on water supply availability and certain land-use decisions made by cities and counties.

1.1.2 Senate Bill 1262
On January 1, 2017, Senate Bill 1262 (SB 1262) was enacted and amended CWC Section 10910, requiring that information regarding the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) be included in a WSA if the water supply for a proposed project includes groundwater from a basin that is not adjudicated and was designated medium- or high-priority by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).

1.2 Water Management Planning Documents
CVWD has prepared long-term planning documents to project future was use and manage the water supplies within its service area. These planning documents can be used for compliance with SB 610 and SB 1262 and are discussed in further detail in the following sections.

1.2.1 Urban Water Management Planning Act
The Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) was established by Assembly Bill 797 (AB 797) on September 21, 1983, and passage of this law recognized that water is a limited resource, and that efficient water use and conservation would be actively pursued throughout the State.

The UWMPA requires that municipal water suppliers providing either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more the 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY), prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years which defines their current and future water use, source of supply, source reliability, and existing conservation measures.

1.2.1.1 Coachella Valley Water District Urban Water Management Plan CVWD prepared and adopted its 2005, 2010, and 2015 UWMPs to document CVWD’s projected water demands and plans for delivering water supplies to its water service area during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years over a 20-year projection.

The six urban water suppliers in the Coachella Valley (CVWD, Coachella Water Authority, Desert Water Agency (DWA), Indio Water Authority (IWA), Mission Springs Water District (MSWD), and Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company) collaboratively prepared the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional UWMP, including regional and individual agency content and other necessary elements 757 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
8 as set forth in DWR’s 2020 UWMP Guidebook. The 2020 Coachella Valley Regional UWMP was submitted to DWR on July 1, 2021. DWR accepted CVWD’s portion of the Regional UWMP on May 17, 2022.

1.2.2 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
In September 2014, Governor Brown signed three bills into law: Assembly Bill 1739, Senate Bill 1319, and Senate Bill 1168, which became collectively known as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), creating a framework for sustainable, local groundwater management for the first time in California history. DWR evaluated and prioritized the 515 groundwater basins identified in Bulletin 118, and 94 of these groundwater basins were designated as high- or medium-priority basins, as of December 2019, requiring them to be sustainably managed within 20 years. SGMA required local authorities to form local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) by June 30, 2017 to evaluate conditions in their local groundwater basins and adopt locally-based Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs), or Alternatives to a GSP (Alternative Plans), tailored to their regional economic and environmental needs.

As defined by DWR, the subbasins of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin are the Indio, Mission Creek, San Gorgonio Pass, and Desert Hot Springs Subbasins. CVWD’s service area overlies the Indio, Mission Creek, and Desert Hot Springs Subbasins. The Indio and Mission Creek Subbasins have been designated medium-priority by DWR and are subject to the requirements of SGMA. The Desert Hot Springs Subbasin has been designated very low-priority by DWR and is not subject to the requirements of SGMA. The Project is located within the Indio Subbasin, which has been designated as a medium priority groundwater basin by DWR under SGMA.

1.2.2.1 Alternative Plan for the Indio Subbasin
Twenty years before the adoption of SGMA, CVWD began the development of the initial water management plan for the Coachella Valley in 1994 after recognizing the need to sustainably manage the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin. The original planning document is the 2002 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan (CVWMP). The 2002 CVWMP was updated in 2010 and adopted in 2012.

CVWD, DWA, CWA, and IWA, are the Indio Subbasin GSAs designated by DWR for their respective service areas. On December 29, 2016, CVWD, DWA, CWA, and IWA collaboratively submitted the 2010 CVWMP Update as an Alternative Plan for the Indio Subbasin, with an associated Bridge Document and supporting documents, to DWR for review and evaluation. On July 17, 2019, DWR determined that the Alternative Plan for the Indio Subbasin satisfies the objectives of SGMA and notified the Indio Subbasin GSAs that the Alternative Plan was approved, and that they would be required to submit an assessment and update of the Alternative Plan pursuant to the SGMA by January 1, 2022, and every five years thereafter. The 2022 Alternative Plan Update for the Indio Subbasin was submitted to DWR on December 29, 2021.

On February 1, 2018, DWR notified all GSAs who submitted Alternative Plans that they would be required to submit annual reports pursuant to SGMA by April 1, 2018, and every year thereafter. 758 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
9 CVWD, DWA, CWA, and IWA have collaboratively prepared and submitted the Indio Subbasin Annual Reports for Water Years 2016-2017 through 2021-2022.

1.2.2.2 Alternative Plan for the Mission Creek Subbasin In 2004, CVWD, DWA, and MSWD reached an agreement and created the Mission Creek Subbasin Management Committee (Management Committee). The Management Committee jointly prepared the 2013 Mission Creek-Garnet Hill Subbasin Water Management Plan (2013 MC-GH WMP).

On December 29, 2016, CVWD, DWA, and MSWD collaboratively submitted the 2013 MC-GH WMP as an Alternative Plan for the Mission Creek Subbasin, with an associated Bridge Document and supporting documents, to DWR for review and evaluation. On July 17, 2019, DWR determined that the Alternative Plan for the Mission Creek Subbasin satisfies the objectives of SGMA and notified the Management Committee that the Alternative Plan was approved, and that they would be required to submit an assessment and update of the Alternative Plan pursuant to SGMA by January 1, 2022, and every five years thereafter. The 2022 Alternative Plan Update for the Mission Creek Subbasin was submitted to DWR on December 30, 2021.

On February 1, 2018, DWR notified all GSAs who submitted Alternative Plans that they would be required to submit annual reports pursuant to SGMA by April 1, 2018, and every year thereafter.

CVWD, DWA, and MSWD have collaboratively prepared and submitted the Mission Creek Subbasin Annual Reports for Water Years 2016-2017 through 2021-2022.

1.2.3 Groundwater Replenishment
State Water Code (SWC) 31630-31639 provides CVWD with the authority to levy and collect water replenishment assessments to implement groundwater replenishment programs (GRPs) within its jurisdictional boundary. Groundwater replenishment is necessary to mitigate overdraft of the groundwater basin and associated undesirable results. The jurisdictional areas that benefit from the GRPs, and where CVWD levies replenishment assessments on groundwater production, are termed Areas of Benefit (AOBs). There are three AOBs within CVWD’s boundary: the Mission Creek Subbasin AOB, the West Whitewater River Subbasin AOB, and the East Whitewater River Subbasin AOB. The GRP for the West Whitewater River Subbasin AOB was formed in 1976, the GRP for the Mission Creek Subbasin AOB was formed in 2003, and the GRP for the East Whitewater River Subbasin AOB was formed in 2004. The Project is located within the East Whitewater River Subbasin AOB.

1.2.3.1 Annual Engineer’s Reports
CVWD is required to prepare and present to its Board of Directors annually an Engineer’s Report on Water Supply and Replenishment Assessment reporting on the conditions of the groundwater supplies and recommend Replenishment Assessment Charges (RACs) to be levied upon groundwater production greater than 25 AFY within each AOB in accordance with SWC 31630- 31639. The Engineer’s Report must include the following information: a summary of the conditions of groundwater supplies; the need for replenishment; a description of the 759 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
10 replenishment programs, including the source and amount of replenishment waters, the costs associated with the GRP, the areas directly and indirectly benefited by the GRP, and the amount of groundwater produced in each area during the prior year; and a recommendation for the RAC to be levied on each AOB. The 2023-2024 Engineer’s Report on Water Supply and Replenishment Assessment was prepared and presented to CVWD’s Board of Directors on April 25, 2023. 2 Public Water System The City is the Lead Agency for the planning and environmental review of the proposed Coral Mountain Project (Project). The City has identified the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) as the Public Water System (PWS) that will supply water for the proposed Project, and has requested that CVWD assist in preparing a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) as part of the environmental review for the Project.

2.1 Coachella Valley Water District
CVWD was established in 1918 under the County Water District Act provisions of the California Water Code. CVWD provides water related services for domestic water, wastewater collection and treatment, recycled water, agricultural irrigation water, drainage management, imported water supply, groundwater replenishment, stormwater management, flood control, and water conservation. CVWD’s boundary encompasses approximately 640,000 acres as shown in Figure 2-1, mostly within Riverside County, but also extending into northern Imperial and San Diego Counties.

2.1.2 Coachella Valley Water District – Potable Water Distribution Systems CVWD has two domestic water service areas that serve potable water to its local communities:
the Cove Communities system and Improvement District No. 8 (ID-8) as shown in Figure 2-2.

CVWD previously had three water systems, but ID-11 was consolidated into the Cove Communities system in March 2021. CVWD had approximately 113,481 domestic water connections and served approximately 91,230acre-feet (AF) of water in 2022. CVWD serves all of the Cities of Rancho Mirage, Thousand Palms, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta, and a portion of Indio, Coachella, and Cathedral City. Other areas served with domestic water by CVWD include a portion of lands near Desert Hot Springs and the Indio Hills. CVWD also serves other unincorporated communities including Thermal, Mecca, Oasis, Desert Shores, Salton Sea Beach, Salton City, North Shore, Bombay Beach, Hot Mineral Springs, and other portions of unincorporated Riverside and Imperial Counties. The Project is located within CVWD’s Cove Communities domestic water distribution system.

2.2 Coachella Valley Hydrology
The bulk of natural groundwater replenishment comes from runoff from the adjacent mountains.

Climate in the Coachella Valley is characterized by low humidity, high summer temperatures, and mild dry winters. Average annual precipitation varies from 3 to 6 inches of rain on the Coachella Valley floor to more than 30 inches in the surrounding mountains. Most of the precipitation occurs between December and February, except for summer thundershowers. Prevailing winds in the area are usually gentle, but occasionally increase to velocities as high as 30 miles per hour or more. Mid-summer temperatures commonly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (oF), frequently 762 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
13 reach 110 oF, and periodically reach or exceed 120 oF, and the average winter temperature is approximately 60 oF as shown in Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.

3 Public Water System – Existing Supply and Demand
Currently, all of Coachella Valley Water District’s (CVWD’s) urban potable water uses are supplied using groundwater. In addition to groundwater, CVWD has imported water supplies from the State Water Project (SWP) and the Colorado River, and recycled water from water reclamation plants. These imported and recycled water supplies are used to meet CVWD’s non-potable water demands and to replenish the groundwater basin.

3.1 Groundwater
Groundwater is the principal source of potable supply in the Coachella Valley and CVWD obtains groundwater from both the Indio and Mission Creek Subbasins of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin. CVWD has the legal authority to manage the groundwater basin within its boundaries under the County Water District Law (California Water Code section 30000, et seq.) and as a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

Groundwater, to be supplied to the Project, is also used by other domestic water suppliers and private pumpers for crop irrigation, fish farms, duck clubs, golf course irrigation, greenhouses, and industrial uses in the Coachella Valley.

14 3.1.1 Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin
The Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin is bounded on the north and east by the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino Mountains, on the south and west by the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, and on the south by the Salton Sea. At the west end of the San Gorgonio Pass, between Beaumont and Banning, the basin boundary is defined by a surface drainage divide separating the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin from the Beaumont Groundwater Basin of the Upper Santa Ana Drainage Area.

The southern boundary is formed primarily by the watershed of the Mecca Hills and by the northwest shoreline of the Salton Sea running between the Santa Rosa Mountains and Mortmar.

Between the Salton Sea and Travertine Rock, at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the southern boundary crosses the Riverside County Line into Imperial and San Diego Counties.

Although there is interflow of groundwater throughout the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin, fault barriers, constrictions in the basin profile, and areas of low permeability limit and control movement of groundwater. Based on these factors, the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin has been divided into subbasins and subareas as described by DWR in 1964 and 2003, and by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974.

3.1.1.1 Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin – Subbasins
As shown on Figure 3-1, the subbasins of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin are the Indio, Mission Creek, San Gorgonio Pass, and Desert Hot Springs Subbasins. The subbasins are defined without regard to water quantity or quality. They delineate areas underlain by formations which readily yield stored groundwater through water wells and offer natural reservoirs for the regulation of water supplies.

The boundaries between subbasins within the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin are generally defined by faults that impede the lateral movement of groundwater. Minor subareas have also been delineated based on one or more of the following geologic or hydrologic characteristics:
types of water-bearing formations, water quality, areas of confined groundwater, forebay areas, groundwater divides, and surface drainage divides.
764 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
15 Figure 3-1: Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin and Subbasins Source: Indio Subbasin Annual Report for Water Year 2020-2021 The following is a list of the subbasins in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin as designated by DWR in Bulletin 118:
• Indio Subbasin (Subbasin 7-21.01)
• Mission Creek Subbasin (Subbasin 7-21.02)
• San Gorgonio Pass Subbasin (Subbasin 7-21.03)
• Desert Hot Springs Subbasin (Subbasin 7-21.04)
DWR designated the Indio, Mission Creek, and San Gorgonio Pass Subbasins as medium-priority, and the Desert Hot Springs Subbasin as very low priority. None of the subbasins are adjudicated or in a state of overdraft.

In 1964, DWR estimated that the subbasins in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin contained approximately 39,200,000 acre-feet (AF) of water in the first 1,000 feet below the groundwater surface. The capacities of the subbasins are shown in Table 3-1. 765 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

3.1.2 Groundwater Demand
Groundwater is the principal source of potable supply in the Coachella Valley and CVWD extracts groundwater from both the Indio and Mission Creek Subbasins of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin, which is continually replenished by CVWD. CVWD’s groundwater demands in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin for 2018 through 2022 are shown in Table 3-2.

3.1.3 Groundwater Sustainability
Long-term sustainability is typically assessed based on changes in groundwater storage over a historical period on the order of ten to twenty years that includes wet and dry periods.

3.1.3.1 Indio Subbasin
The 2022 Indio Subbasin Alternative Plan Update identified 57 Key Wells across the subbasin to represent local groundwater levels, shown in Figure 3-2. The plan set metrics to demonstrate sustainability, including a Minimum Threshold (MT) at each Key Well. MTs are numeric values used to define undesirable results under SGMA. In WY 2021-2022, water levels in all 57 Key Wells remained above their respective MTs. This confirms that the significant undesirable results of chronic lowering of groundwater levels, depletion of groundwater storage, and potential subsidence are not occurring in the Indio Subbasin.

17 Figure 3-2: Water Level Monitoring Wells in the Indio Subbasin Source: 2022 Alternative Plan Update for the Indio Subbasin Figure 3-3 shows the historical annual change in groundwater storage from 1970 through Water Year (WY) 2020-2021 in the Indio Subbasin. The figure also shows annual inflows, outflows, groundwater production, and 10-year and 20-year running-average change in groundwater storage. During periods of high artificial recharge, the change in storage tends to be positive. In dry years or periods of high groundwater pumping, the change in storage can be negative.

As shown in Figure 3-3, annual inflows to the Indio Subbasin are highly variable with years of high inflows corresponding to wet years when SWP delivery volumes were greater. Higher inflows in the mid-1980s occurred when the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) commenced large-scale advanced water deliveries to the Indio Subbasin. After an extended period of decline, both the 10-year and 20-year running-average change in storage have shown positive trends since 2009, and the 10-year running-average has been positive since 2017. 767 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
18 Figure 3-3: Historical Annual Change in Groundwater Storage in the Indio Subbasin Source: Indio Subbasin Annual Report for Water Year 2021-2022 As shown in Figure 3-4, groundwater levels have increased significantly in the Indio Subbasin from WY 2008-2009 to WY 2021-2022. The Indio Subbasin Annual Report uses 2009 water levels as a metric of sustainability because historical low groundwater levels occurred in the years around 2009 throughout most of the Indio Subbasin. The Indio Subbasin shows a long-term positive trend in sustainability resulting from implementation of the Indio Subbasin Alternative Plan.

3.1.3.2 Mission Creek Subbasin
The 2022 Mission Creek Subbasin Alternative Plan Update identified nine Key Wells across the subbasin to represent local groundwater levels, as shown in Figure 3-5. The plan set MTs at each Key Well to demonstrate sustainability. In WY 2021-2022, water levels in all nine Key Wells remained above their respective MTs, as shown in the hydrographs in Figure 3-5. This confirms that the significant undesirable results of chronic lowering of groundwater levels, depletion of groundwater storage, and potential subsidence are not occurring in the Mission Creek Subbasin. 769 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

The figure also shows annual inflows, outflows, groundwater production, and 10-year and 20-year running-average change in groundwater storage. During periods of high artificial recharge, the change in storage tends to be positive. In dry years or periods of high groundwater pumping, the change in storage can be negative.

As shown in Figure 3-6, after a period of decline, starting in 2004 both the 10-year and 20-year running-average change in groundwater storage have shown positive trends. Annual inflows to the Mission Creek Subbasin are highly variable with years of high inflows corresponding to years when SWP delivery volumes were greater. The 20-year running-average change in storage shows that the Mission Creek Subbasin has been in balance since 2012. 770 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

3.2 Imported Water
CVWD has two sources of imported water available: Colorado River water delivered via the Coachella Canal and SWP water exchanged for Colorado River water delivered through the Colorado River Aqueduct. These imported water sources are used to recharge the groundwater basin and as an alternative source to meet non-potable demands from irrigation of agriculture, golf, and urban uses that would have otherwise been met by pumping groundwater. In the future, if urban demand significantly increases relative to non-potable uses, Colorado River water may be treated and delivered directly to customers through CVWD’s potable water distribution system.

3.2.1 Colorado River Water
Colorado River water has been a significant water supply source for the Indio Subbasin since the Coachella Canal was completed in 1949. CVWD is the only agency in the Indio Subbasin that receives Colorado River water allocations. The Colorado River is managed and operated in accordance with the Law of the River, a collection of interstate compacts, federal and state legislation, various agreements and contracts, an international treaty, a U.S. Supreme Court 772 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
23 decree, and federal administrative actions that govern the rights to use Colorado River water within the seven Colorado River Basin states. The 1922 Colorado River Compact apportioned the waters of the Colorado River Basin between the Upper Colorado River Basin (i.e., Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico) and the Lower Basin (i.e., Nevada, Arizona, and California).

The 1922 Colorado River Compact allocates 15 million AFY of Colorado River water as follows:

7.5 million AFY to the Upper Basin and 7.5 million AFY to the Lower Basin, plus up to 1 million AFY of surplus supplies. The Lower Basin’s water was further apportioned among the three Lower Basin states by the 1928 Boulder Canyon Project Act and the 1931 Boulder Canyon Project Agreement, typically called the 1931 Seven Party Agreement, which allocates California’s apportionment of Colorado River water among Palo Verde Irrigation District, Imperial Irrigation District (IID), CVWD, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), City of Los Angeles, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego. The 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decree in Arizona v. California established Arizona’s basic annual apportionment at 2.8 million AFY, California’s at 4.4 million AFY, and Nevada’s at 0.3 million AFY. Mexico is entitled to 1.5 million AFY of the Colorado River under the 1944 United States-Mexico Treaty for Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande. However, this treaty did not specify a required quality for water entering Mexico. In 1973, the United States and Mexico signed Minute No. 242 of the International Boundary and Water Commission requiring certain water quality standards for water entering Mexico. California’s Colorado River supply is protected by the 1968 Colorado River Basin Project Act, which provides that in years of insufficient supply on the main stem of the Colorado River, supplies to the Central Arizona Project shall be reduced to zero before California will be reduced below 4.4 million AF in any year. This assures full supplies to the Coachella Valley, except in periods of extreme drought.

The Coachella Canal is a branch of the All-American Canal that brings Colorado River water into the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. Under the 1931 Seven Party Agreement, CVWD receives 330,000 AFY of Priority 3A Colorado River water diverted from the All-American Canal at the Imperial Dam. The Coachella Canal originates at Drop 1 on the All-American Canal and extends approximately 123 miles, terminating in CVWD’s Lake Cahuilla. The service area for Colorado River water delivery under CVWD’s contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is defined as Improvement District No. 1 (ID-1), which encompasses 136,400 acres covering most of the East Valley and a portion of the West Valley north of Interstate 10. Under the 1931 Seven Party Agreement, CVWD has water rights to Colorado River water as part of the first 3.85 million AFY allocated to California. CVWD is in the third priority position along with IID.

In 2003, CVWD, IID, and MWD successfully negotiated the 2003 Quantification Settlement Agreement (2003 QSA), which quantifies Colorado River allocations through 2077 and supports the transfer of water between agencies. Under the 2003 QSA, CVWD has a base entitlement of 330,000 AFY. CVWD negotiated water transfer agreements with MWD and IID that increased CVWD supplies by an additional 123,000 AFY. CVWD’s net QSA supply will increase to 424,000 AFY by 2026 and remain at that level until 2047, decreasing to 421,000 AFY until 2077, when the agreement terminates. As of 2021, CVWD’s available Colorado River water diversions at Imperial Dam under the QSA were 399,000 AFY. This includes the base entitlement of 330,000 AFY, the MWD/IID Transfer of 20,000 AFY, IID/CVWD First Transfer of 50,000 AFY, and IID/CVWD Second 773 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
24 Transfer of 28,000 AFY. CVWD’s QSA diversions also deducts the -26,000 AFY transferred to San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) as part of the Coachella Canal Lining Project and the - 3,000 AFY transfer to Indian Present Perfected Rights. Additionally, under the 2003 QSA, MWD transferred 35,000 AFY of its State Water Project (SWP) Table A Amount to CVWD. This SWP water is exchanged for Colorado River water and can be delivered at Imperial Dam for delivery via the Coachella Canal to the eastern portion of the Indio Subbasin or at Lake Havasu for delivery via the Colorado River Aqueduct to the western portion of the Indio Subbasin at the Whitewater River Groundwater Replenishment Facility (WWR-GRF). The 2019 Second Amendment guaranteed delivery of 35,000 AFY from 2019 to 2026, for a total of 280,000 AFY of water to the WWR-GRF during that timeframe. MWD can deliver the water through CVWD’s Whitewater Service Connections (for recharge at WWR-GRF) or via the Advance Delivery account.

The MWD/IID Transfer originated in a 1989 agreement with MWD to receive 20,000 AF of its Colorado River supply. The 2019 Amended and Restated Agreement for Exchange and Advance Delivery of Water defined the exchange and delivery terms between MWD, CVWD, and DWA.

The 2019 Second Amendment to Delivery and Exchange Agreement reduced CVWD’s annual delivery of the MWD/IID Transfer to 15,000 AFY, for a total of 105,000 AF, if taken at the Whitewater Service Connections (for recharge at WWR-GRF) between 2020 and 2026. For those seven years, MWD keeps the remaining 5,000 AFY, after which CVWD’s allocation increases back up to 20,000 AFY. CVWD’s total allocations under the QSA, including MWD’s transfer of 35,000 AFY and the MWD/IID Transfer, will increase from 424,000 AFY in 2020 to 459,000 AFY by 2026 and remain at that level for the remainder of the 75-year term of the QSA. Table 3-3 lists total Colorado River entitlements under existing agreements.

3.2.2 State Water Project
The SWP is managed by DWR and includes 705 miles of aqueduct and conveyance facilities extending from Lake Oroville in Northern California to Lake Perris in Southern California. The SWP has contracts to deliver 4.172 million AFY to the State Water Contractors. The State Water Contractors consist of 29 public entities with long-term contracts with DWR for all, or a portion of, their water supply needs. In 1962 and 1963, DWA and CVWD, respectively, entered contracts with the State of California for a total of 61,200 AFY of SWP water. SWP water has been an important component of the region’s water supply mix since CVWD and DWA began receiving and recharging SWP exchange water at the WWR-GRF. Starting in 1973, CVWD and DWA began exchanging their SWP water with MWD for Colorado River water delivered via MWD’s Colorado River Aqueduct. Because CVWD and DWA do not have a physical connection to SWP conveyance facilities, MWD takes delivery of CVWD’s and DWA’s SWP water, and in exchange, delivers an equal amount of Colorado River water to the Whitewater Service Connections (for recharge at WWR-GRF and Mission Creek Groundwater Replenishment Facility). The exchange agreement was most recently re-established in the 2019 Amended and Restated Agreement for Exchange and Advance Delivery of Water.

Each SWP contract contains a “Table A” exhibit that defines the maximum annual amount of water each contractor can receive excluding certain interruptible deliveries. DWR uses Table A amounts to allocate available SWP supplies and some SWP project costs among the contractors.

Each year, DWR determines the amount of water available for delivery to SWP contractors based on hydrology, reservoir storage, the requirements of water rights licenses and permits, water quality, and environmental requirements for protected species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin 775 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
26 River Delta (Delta). The available supply is then allocated according to each SWP contractor’s Table A amount.

CVWD’s and DWA’s collective increments of Table A water are listed in Table 3-6. Original Table A SWP water allocations for CVWD and DWA were 23,100 AFY and 38,100 AFY, respectively, for a combined amount of 61,200 AFY. CVWD and DWA obtained a combined 100,000 AFY transfer from MWD under the 2003 Exchange Agreement. In 2004, CVWD purchased an additional 9,900 AFY of SWP Table A water from the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District (Tulare Lake Basin) in Kings County. In 2007, CVWD and DWA made a second purchase of Table A SWP water from Tulare Lake Basin totaling 7,000 AFY. In 2007, CVWD and DWA also completed the transfer of 16,000 AFY of Table A Amounts from the Berrenda Mesa Water District in Kern County. These latter two transfers became effective in January 2010. With these additional transfers, the total SWP Table A Amount for CVWD and DWA is 194,100 AFY. Table 3-7 shows the percent allocation of SWP Table A allocations from 2018 through 2022. Table 3-8 shows the recharge of SWP Exchange Water from 2018 through 2022.

3.2.3 Other SWP Water
There are other types of SWP water that can be purchased, such as individual water purchase opportunities and transfers/exchanges. These may be conveyed to CVWD and DWA as available, but no commitments exist.
776 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
27 In 2008, CVWD and DWA entered into separate agreements with DWR for the purchase and conveyance of supplemental SWP water under the Yuba River Accord Dry Year Water Purchase Program (Yuba Accord). This program provides dry year supplies through a water purchase agreement between DWR and Yuba County Water Agency, which settled long-standing operational and environmental issues over instream flow requirements for the lower Yuba River.

The amount of water available for purchase varies annually and is allocated among participating SWP contractors based on their Table A amounts. CVWD and DWA may purchase up to 1.72 percent and 0.69 percent, respectively, of available Yuba Accord water, in years it is made available. Yuba Accord deliveries have varied from zero in multiple years to a total of 2,664 AFY to CVWD and DWA in 2013.

Article 21 water (described in Article 21 of the SWP water contracts), “Interruptible Water,” is water that State Water Contractors may receive on a short-term basis in addition to their Table A water if they request it in years when it is available. Article 21 water is used by many contractors to help meet demands in low allocation years. Article 21 water is not available every year, amounts vary when it is available, and is proportionately allocated among participating Contractors. The availability and delivery of Article 21 water cannot interfere with normal SWP operations and cannot be carried over for delivery in a subsequent year.

3.3 Surface Water
CVWD does not currently use or intend to use any local surface water as part of its urban potable water supply. Local runoff is captured and used for groundwater recharge.

3.3.1 River/Stream Diversion
Surface water supplies come from several local rivers and streams including the Whitewater River, Snow Creek, Falls Creek, and Chino Creek, as well as a number of smaller creeks and washes. Because surface water supplies are affected by variations in annual precipitation, the annual supply is highly variable. The 50-year hydrologic period from 1970 to 2019 had an annual average watershed runoff of 52,506 AFY, with approximately 43,300 AFY in natural infiltration.

Runoff during the 25-year period from 1995 to 2019 was below average, with 39,196 AFY in watershed runoff and 29,200 AFY in natural infiltration. CVWD does not currently use or intend to use any local surface water as part of its urban potable water supply. Local runoff is captured and used for groundwater recharge.

3.3.2 Stormwater Capture
The Coachella Valley drainage area is approximately 65 percent mountainous and 35 percent typical desert valley with alluvial fan topography buffering the valley floor from the steep mountain slopes. The mean annual precipitation ranges from 30 inches or more in the San Bernardino Mountains to less than 3 inches at the Salton Sea. Three types of storms produce precipitation in the drainage area: general winter storms, general thunderstorms, and local thunderstorms. Longer duration, lower intensity rainfall events tend to have higher recharge 777 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
28 rates, but runoff from flash flooding can result from all three types of storms. Otherwise, there is little to no flow in most of the streams in the drainage area.

Significant amounts of local runoff are currently captured at the Whitewater River GRF and in the debris basins and unlined channels of the western Coachella Valley. Additional stormwater will be captured when the Thousand Palms Flood Control Project is completed and when flood control is constructed in the Oasis area. However, limited data exists to estimate the amount of additional stormwater that could be captured by new facilities in the Coachella Valley.

Nonetheless, large-scale stormwater capture is not expected to yield sufficient water to be worth the investment as a single purpose project. Small-scale stormwater retention systems located in areas of suitable geology to allow percolation could capture small intensity storms as well as street runoff. The potential yield of these system are not known at this time, but stormwater capture should be considered in conjunction with projects that construct stormwater and flood control facilities.

3.4 Wastewater and Recycled Water
Wastewater that has been highly treated and disinfected can be reused for landscape irrigation and other purposes. Recycled wastewater has historically been used for irrigation of golf courses and municipal landscaping in the Coachella Valley since as early as the 1960s. As growth occurs in the eastern Coachella Valley, the supply of recycled water is expected to increase, creating an additional opportunity to maximize local water supply.

CVWD operates five water reclamation plants (WRPs), two of them (WRP-7 and WRP-10) generate recycled water for irrigation of golf courses and large landscaped areas. WRP-4 became operational in 1986 and serves the communities from La Quinta to Mecca. WRP-4 effluent is not currently recycled; however, it will be in the future when the demand for recycled water is developed, and tertiary treatment is constructed. The other two WRPs serve communities near the Salton Sea. A sixth WRP (WRP-9) was decommissioned in July 2015. The wastewater treated by CVWD from 2018 through 2022 is shown in Table 3-9. Table 3-10 shows the recycled water produced by CVWD from 2018 through 2022. CVWD will continue to expand its recycled water program by connecting additional recycled water customers to meet the non-potable water demands in the western and eastern portions of the Coachella Valley.

3.5 Conservation
Water conservation, and the reduced groundwater production associated with water conservation, benefits the groundwater basin and is an important element of the Alternative Plans and the 2020 Regional UWMP.

CVWD has utilized several programs to ensure water conservation within its service area. CVWD has implemented allocation-based conservation water pricing (i.e., tiered rates) to prevent water waste or unreasonable use of water. In addition, CVWD’s indoor rebate programs are designed to assist homeowners and commercial customers reduce water usage by upgrading toilets, replacing inefficient devices, and installing new technology to improve efficiency. CVWD also has outdoor rebate programs that are designed to assist homeowners, homeowners associations, and commercial customers reduce outdoor water usage by converting turf to desert landscaping, installing smart irrigation controllers, and improving the efficiency of irrigation systems. CVWD offers seminars, workshops, and classes to help educate the public regarding the need for water conservation and the conservation programs that are available.

3.6 Landscape Ordinance
CVWD Landscape Ordinance 1302.5 requires a series of reduction methods, including requirements that new developments install weather-based irrigation controllers that automatically adjust watering. Additional requirements include setbacks of spray emitters from impervious surfaces, as well as use of porous rock and gravel buffers between grass and curbs to eliminate run-off onto streets. With the exception of turf, all landscaping including groundcover and shrubbery must be irrigated with a drip system. Also, the maximum water allowance for landscaped areas through the CVWD service area has been reduced. This reduction goal requires that developers maximize the use of native and other drought-tolerant landscape materials and minimize use of more water-intensive landscape features, including turf and fountains.

3.7 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
Based on the experiences from the 2013-2015 drought, CVWD’s domestic Water Shortage Contingency Plan provides the shortage levels summarized in Table 3-11. The trigger levels used to determine the water shortage level depend on the local water situation or applicable State mandates. CVWD has a diverse mix of water supplies and benefits from a large groundwater basin providing storage. CVWD’s groundwater replenishment program replenishes the basin to Recycled Water (AF) 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022

4 Public Water System – Projected Supply and Demand
Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) projects that a majority of its urban potable water uses will continue to be supplied from local groundwater. In addition to groundwater, CVWD has secured imported water supplies from the State Water Project (SWP) and the Colorado River, and recycled water from water reclamation plants. These imported and recycled water supplies are used to meet CVWD’s non-potable water demands and to replenish the groundwater basin.

4.1 Projected Urban Demand and Supply
The following tables from the 2020 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (Regional UWMP) provide the CVWD’s projected water supplies and demands. Potable water demand projections for the CVWD service area are summarized in Table 4-1.

Note: CVWD and the other Regional UWMP agencies collaborate on groundwater management plans for long-term sustainability. During a normal year, single-dry year, or five-dry year period, the agencies could produce additional groundwater if demands exceeded the estimates shown here.

During single-dry years, CVWD will be able to meet current and future urban water demand needs through groundwater pumping and recycled water as shown in Table 4-4. Water supplies during the single-dry year are 100 percent reliable. CVWD’s groundwater replenishment program replenishes the basin to increase groundwater storage during wet years and that supply is available for use during dry years. Thus, the supply and demand comparison for the single-dry year is the same as the normal year.

The Coral Mountain Project (Project) proposes to develop 387 acres of land and convert it into 164.9 acres of single-family residential land use, 5.9 acres for a sports club, 4 acres for a golf club, 3 acres for an active amenity park, 12-acre lake, 2 acres for golf maintenance, and two restaurantslocated inside the sports club and golf club, and convert 181.9 acres into a golf course area and 7.7 acres into a neighborhood commercial land area.

6.1 Projected Indoor Residential Water Demand
The projected indoor residential unit usage for this Water Supply Assessment/Water Supply Verification (WSA/WSV) is based on indoor water use performance standards as provided in the California Water Code (CWC) for residential water demand Water Code Section 10910 approved November 10, 2009, codified in CWC section 10608.20 (b)(2)(A). The projected indoor residential water demand for the Project totals 108.12 acre-feet per year (AFY) as shown in Table 6-1. SB 606 and AB 1668 established guidelines for efficient water use and a framework for the implementation and oversight of the new standards. Based on results of the Indoor Residential Water Use Study, DWR and the State Water Resources Control Board jointly recommended that the indoor residential standard remain at 55 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) through 2024 and decline to 47 gpcd in 2025 and to 42 gpcd in 2030.

12.00 6.7 Conservation Measures
The landscape guidelines for the Coral Mountain Project emphasize non-invasive drought tolerant plant materials that are climate-appropriate, water efficient, and sustainable. The plant palette throughout the Specific Pan area shall utilize low maintenance and low water. The landscaping and irrigation plans and system shall comply with all CVWD and County ordinances relating to water efficiency and the Project shall use automated irrigation systems with irrigation timers, and two drip or bubbler heads per tree to provide efficient deep-root irrigation.

6.7.1 Desert Landscaping & Drought Tolerant Plants
The need for progressive water conservation and control of landscape maintenance costs has prompted the greater use of native and non-native drought-tolerant planting materials within the Project. The Coachella Valley and CVWD have been a leader in the promotion of these desert landscape materials and design themes, most notably in CVWD Landscape Ordinance 1302.4. As a result, thoughtful and conservative management and use of water resources have guided development of this Project landscape plan.
792 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
43 6.7.2 Project Specific Water Conservation Measures
A broad range of design components and mitigation measures will be implemented to address the Project’s potential impacts on water resources.

Project developers will be required to implement the following measures in order to assure the most efficient use of water resources and to meet and maintain the 2010 CVWMP Update goals throughout the life of the Project:
• To the greatest extent practicable, native plant materials and other drought-tolerant plants shall be used in all non-turf areas of Project landscaping. Large expanses of lawn and other water-intensive landscaped areas shall be kept to the minimum necessary and consistent with the functional and aesthetic needs of the Project, while providing soil stability to resist erosion.
• The installation and maintenance of efficient on-site irrigation systems will minimize runoff and evaporation and maximize effective watering of plant roots. Drip irrigation and moisture detectors will be used to the greatest extent practicable to increase irrigation efficiency.
• The use of low-flush toilets and water-conserving showerheads and faucets shall be required in conformance with Section 17921.3 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 20, California Code of Regulations Section 1601(b), and applicable sections of Title 24 of the State Code.

6.7.3 Golf Course Irrigation System Conservation
The irrigation system has been planned to meet the standards of a modern golf course irrigation system and enable precise water management through multiple measures as listed:
• The irrigation system will feature individual irrigation head control, allowing precise control over each sprinkler.
• A central control computer system will be implemented to manage all sprinkler heads and valves efficiently.
• An onsite weather station will be integrated into the system, enabling the irrigation program to provide the exact amount of water needed based on real-time weather conditions.
• During challenging water restriction episodes, the system will have the capability to exclusively water greens and trees if required.
• Modern control monitoring through internet-based software will be incorporated into the pumping facilities for efficient monitoring and control. • The design of the irrigation system will adhere to the stringent criteria identified by CVWD.

44 7 Availability of Sufficient Supplies

7.1 Water Supply Assessment
Based on the analysis in this Water Supply Assessment (WSA), the projected total water demand for the Coral Mountain Project (Project) will be 1,217.01 acre-feet per year (AFY), or 3.14 acrefeet per acre. CVWD’s long-term water management planning ensures that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water needs within its service area. CVWD’s current urban water demand was 100,066 acre-feet (AF) for 2022, and the projected urban water demand by 2045 is 148,166 AFY. This Project’s water demand of 1,217.01 AFY accounts for approximately 2.5 percent of the total planned increase in demand of 48,100 AFY by 2045.

This WSA provides an assessment of the availability of sufficient water supplies during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years over a 20-year projection to meet the projected demands of the Project, in addition to existing and planned future water demands of CVWD, as required by Senate Bill (SB) 610 and SB 1262. This WSA also includes identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, and agreements relevant to the identified water supply for the Project and quantities of water received in prior years pursuant to those entitlements, rights, contracts, and agreements.

This WSA has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of SB 610 and SB 1262 by MSA Consulting in consultation with CVWD and the City. This WSA does not relieve the Project from complying with all applicable state, county, city, and local ordinances or regulations including the CVWD Landscape Ordinance, and indoor water use performance standards provided in the California Water Code now or in the future.

Consistent with the provisions of SB 610, neither this WSA nor its approval shall be construed to create a right or entitlement to water service or any specific level of water service, and shall not impose, expand, or limit any duty concerning the obligation of CVWD to provide certain service to its existing customers or to any future potential customers.

This WSA does not constitute an agreement to provide water service to the Project, and does not entitle the Project, Project applicant, or any other person or entity to any right, priority, or allocation in any supply, capacity, or facility. To receive water service, the Project will be subject to an agreement with CVWD, together with any and all applicable fees, charges, plans and specifications, conditions, and any and all other applicable CVWD requirements in place and as amended from time to time. Nor does anything in this WSA prevent or otherwise interfere with CVWD’s discretionary authority to declare a water shortage emergency in accordance with the Water Code.

This WSA will be reviewed every five years, or in the event that the water planning assumptions have changed, until the Project begins construction on all planning areas to ensure it remains accurate and no significant changes to either the Project or available water supply has occurred.

The Project applicant shall notify CVWD when construction begins on all planning areas. 794 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
45 7.2 Requirement for Written Verification of Water Supply Availability Government Code §66473.7 requires that a Written Verification of Water Supply (WV) be prepared in connection with the approval of a development agreement or tentative map that includes a subdivision. A subdivision is defined as a proposed residential development of more than 500 units, except that for a water agency with fewer than 5,000 service connections, a subdivision includes a residential development project that would account for an increase of 10 percent or more in the number of the agency’s existing service connections.

This WSA is not a WV. If the City determines that the Project or any planning area meets the definition of a subdivision and therefore requires preparation of a WV, the City must request a WV prepared by CVWD in compliance with the requirements of SB 221. This WSA may be used to support the WV. Depending on circumstances including but not limited to new water efficiency regulations or changes in water supply availability, CVWD may recommend preparation of an updated supply and demand assessment to support the WV. 795 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

1.3 PROJECT REGIONAL SETTING
Exhibit 1
In 1999 the project was renamed to "Coral Mountain" after a significant landform. which bas been historically referred to as "Coral Reef Mountain.,, This significant geological feature forms part of what is referred to as the "Remnant of Ancient Shoreline" on the Recreation & Thoroughfare Map of Desert Communities.

The Coachella Valley is divided into the Upper and Lower Coachella Valley Land Use Planning Area profiles and the project site is located witWn the Lower Coachella Land Use Planning Area.

The predominant land use in the area is agriculture, including dry farming and citriculture, while a large portion of the Planning Area is vacant, nonMirrigated desert. Several sections ofland in the Planning Area are under Indian (Torres Martinez and Augustine Indian reservations) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ownership. The resulting checkerboard pattern is found throughout eastern Riverside Cmmty.

Coral Mountain Specific Plan Amendment 1 included 1,280 aores of flat, slightly sloping land.

Approximately 355 acres have been added to the plan area bringing the total acreage of the pr~ vious plan to roughly 1635 The elevation ranges from approximately sea level in the western portion of the site to 90 feet below sea level in the eastern portion.

2.2 LAND USE

2.2.1 Land Use I General Plan Context
The Specific Plan 03-067 amends the existing Specific Plan I and implements the City of La Quinta General Plan by bringing together detailed policies and regulations into a focused development plan for the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan 03-067 is a regulatory document which, when adopted by the City Council of La Quinta, governs all facets of project development including the distribution ofland uses, location and sizing of supporting infrastructure, as well as development standards and regulations for uses within the plan area The location and alignment of the land uses and zones depicted herein are diagrammatic. The precise layout within subsequent site development permit applications for the resort residential unit clusters, recreation amenities and clubhouse and support facilities will determine the actual alignment and adjacency of each land use category.

This Specific Plan is prepared as a link between the La Quinta General Plan and subsequent development proposals for individual planning areas within the Specific Plan 03-067.

The Land Use Element of the La Quinta General Plan identifies and establishes the City's policy relative to the planned future patte~ intensity, density and relationships of land uses in the City as well as in the Specific Plan 03·067 plan area addressed herein. The purpose of the Land Use Element within the City's General Plan is to establish official City and plan area policy which:
• Identifies the general types, locations and distribution of land uses desired in La Quinta at buildout;
• Identifies standards for land uses relative to population and building density/intensity and the character and compatibility of land uses;
• Identifies desired courses of action/ strategies which provide the means to implement the community's land use policies while implementing the Specific Plan.

The Specific Plan 03-067 establishes consistency with. and implements the City's General Plan by:
• Specifying the land uses in the plan area~
·• Delineating standards for land use compatibility with the City's policies; • Providing the framework for development in an orderly manner; • Making consistent the General Plan Land Use and Zoning Category for the property and the City's General Plan.

2.6.2 Infrastructure and Utilities Plan
The infrastructure system planned to serve the Specific Plan 03-067 project described below will be designed to provide a coordinated system of infrastructure and public services to adequately serve the plan area at full buildout. Standards for infrastructure and public services relative to land use intensity envisioned for the plan area will be served by the following utilities:
• Sewer
• Water
• Electricity
• Gas
- Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD)
.. Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD)
- Imperial Irrigation District (IID)
- Southern California Gas Company

2.6.3 Water and Sewer Plan
The intent of the Specific Plan 03-067 is to utilize existing water and sewer facilities where possible, and to provide additional or upgraded facilities as necessary. Warer and sewer service for the Specific Plan area is provided by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). The CVWD provides domestic water from wells. Agricultural water used for irrigation is a surface water source. An underground irrigation distribution system providing water to the valley, traverses the western portion of the Specific Plan 03-067 property from the northwest to the southwest. The Specific Plan 03-067 will conform to the requirements of the CVWD's current and future prograillS and requirements pertaining to water management and conservation.

Sewer Service
The Specific Plan area would be served by a series of standard sewer lines and laterals linking to existing 18" force mains located in Avenue 60 and Madison Street Pumping facilities would be located as necessary within the Specific Plan area to transport sewage to the existing trunk lines.

The CVWD has indicated its ability to provide sewer service to the Specific Plan area.

Domestic Water Service
Domestic water would be distributed to individual residential units by standard water lines to be located within road rights-of-way. New water lines would need to be installed in conjunction with road improvements to serve the proposed Specific Plan 03-067 development. The developer will be required to construct domestic water lines, transmission mains and reservoir sites to accommodate the water demands for this project. CVWD will require a well site for eacn 70 acres of developed land. The location of such well sites will be subject to CVWD approval.

2.28 Specific Plan 03..:067

Irrigation Water
The sources for irrigation water for the golf courses and other landscape features within the Specific Plan area will be provided by reclaimed or canal water. These waters will be stored in lakes and ponds located throughout the golf courses. The existl,::lg underground irrigation distribution system traversing the Specific Plan area is not anticipated to be disturbed in conjunction with Specific Plan implementation. The golf courses have been routed over this irrigation line to ensure that no residential units would be constructed on top of the underground line. Grading of the golf course will be coordinated with CVWD in relation to the alignment of the existing or relocated lines. CVWD reserves the right to review and approve any activity occurring within any existing irrigation right-of~way within the Specific Plan area.

2.6.4 Electricity
All overhead public utility transmission lines for cable television, electricity and telephone are routed or currently scheduled for installation in the vicinity of the perimeter of the Specific Plan site. The developer will be required by IID to install to District standards. All permanent power and telecommunications distnbution lines int.ernal to the project, will be required to install those facilities underground per the District guidelines where possible.

2.6.S Natural Gas
AlJ natural gas transmission facilities are routed or cWTently scheduled for installation in the vicinity of the perimeter of the Specific Plan site. The developer will be required by Southern California Gas Company (the Gas Company) to install to the Gas Company standards. All permanent distribution lines internal to the project will be installed per the District guidelines.

2.6.6 Telephone
Land-based telephone services are provided by General Telephone Company in the project area and will extend lines to the site as needed. Local cellular service is provided for that area.

2.6. 7 Refuse CoJJection
Refuse collection within the City limits is provided by an entity franchised by the City of La Quinta and occurs in accordance with a schedule established by the franchisee and the City. It is envisioned that unit areas of the plan will be served by extension of the contract refuse collection services currently in place with the City. Prior to regularly scheduled pickup and removal, refuse will be contained in a maintained swface bin environment to ensure recycling of waste materials as appropriate and required .

2.6.8 School Service
School service in the vicinity of the Specific Plan area is provided by the Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD). It is not anticipated that significant numbers of students will be generated by the Specific Plan due to the anticipated family characteristics of potential purchasers of residential units. The applicant will contribute school fees in accordance with the requirements of the CVUSD.

2.6.9 Law Enforcement
In general, police protection for the Specific Plan area will be provided by the Coun1y of Riverside Sheriffs Department Police protection provided ·by the Sheriffs Department will be augmented by security facilities to be incorporated into the Specific Plan. In general, it is anticipated that the entire Specific Plan area will be a gate-guarded community with its own private security force. Primary and secondary entrances to these residential development areas will be protected by either a guard-gated entry or by card-gated entry. The presence of such security will reduce the dependence of the development on complete prot~ction by the Riverside County Sheriffs Department and other City of La Quinta security personnel. In addition, it is anticipated that many of the residences within the Specific Plan area will have their own individual private security systems. This pattern bas been typical of other similar developments by the developer.

2.6.10 Fire Protection
Fire protection within the specific plan area will be provided by the Riverside County Fire Department. In conjunction with their PGA West development, the developer constructed a new fire station on the PGA West property at Madison. S1reet and Avenue 54 (the "PGA Station''). It is anticipated that fire protection service to the specific plan area will be provided from the PGA Station. 542 acres of the 987 acre plan area was originally entitled for 2,198 developable units.

Since originally approved, development of both the PGA West deveJopment and the Coral Mountain specific plan areas have experienced a significant reduction in overall project densities.

As a result, the PGA Station should be more than sufficient to servjce the requirements of this plan area.

2.6.11 Library Facilities -
The City is served by a public libracy which is administered by the Riverside County Library System located within 6 miles of the project boundary.

2. 7.S Grading Design Standards and Guidelines
The following Guidelines are provided to give general direction to grading design. The primary focus of these Guidelines is to minimize the visual impact of grading by shaping the landfonn to reflect a more natural topography. The existing relatively flat character of theSpecific Plan 03-067 site will require a carefully thoughtout grading design to significantly alter the natural landform to create drama and visual excitement
These Guidelines are intended to outline approaches to landfonn alterations which accomplish this drama and yet sensitively blend graded areas with the adjacent topographic conditfons. Since the majority of Coral Mountain property is generally without significant contour or grade, it is anticipated that landform alteration associated with the development will 'be substantial in order to achieve the development goal of the creation of unique and dramatic landfonn within the golf course, residential, and open space area of the plan.

Grading Concepts and Standards
Landfonn alteration proposed as a part of construction within the project site boundary is subject to review and approval by the developer as part of the plan review procedures.

Such review shall include, but not be limited to, the following criteria:

Manufactured slopes should be varied in cross-section and along the slope length that utilize varied gradients.

Manufactured landforms at development edges shall be recontoured to a transition to their existing grade.

The toe and crest of any manufactured slope in excess often feet (10') in height shall be rounded with vertical curves to to create natural, nonabrupt grade changes.

All graded slopes shall be revegetated and irrigated in accordance with the landscape architectural and resource management standards outlined in these Guidelines, and as approved by the developer.

Where residential access across drainage courses occurs it shall be accomplished by a bridge or aesthetically enhanced culvert Where these improvements occur, natural materials may be used for slope bank protection.

Benns, channels, swales, etc., shall be graded in such a way as to be an integral part of the graded and/or paved surface, and shall be designed with smooth vertical transitions between changes in slope.

Grading and Drainage Plans must be prepared under the direction of a licensed Civil Engineer.

2.8 CORAL MOUNTAIN CLUB (WEST TRACT) DESIGN

GUIDELINES & STANDARDS
Coral Mountain Club Community Theme
The guidelines contained in this chapter identify unifying elements for design of permanent buildings and landscaping within that portion of each Planning Area west of Madison Street.

Renderings, simulations and photographs are intended as thematic illustrations and do not depict final designs, nor should they limit the range of creative expression available to the developer or their professional design team. These guidelines will be reflected in subsequent implementing subdivision maps and development permits.The Specific Plan emphasizes the creation of low-density, walkable neighborhoods oriented around the golf course which has been long planned and previously entitled as the central amenity within the West Tract. These guidelines will assist the developer to execute a built environment that incorporates the following main concepts as depicted in the Figure 2.8-1, Illustrative Site Concept:
⋅ Develop a residential golf community with access to recreational amenities, and commercial services.
⋅ Establish residential neighborhoods that are linked through multi-use trails that connect neighborhoods throughout the West Tract.
⋅ Develop buildings which respond to the desert environment and utilize passive heating / cooling techniques through orientation and design.
⋅ Incorporate a variety of open space and recreational uses (active and passive). ⋅ Design a planned community that complements existing development in the surrounding area and is compatible with the surrounding environment. ⋅ Develop a community that is visually attractive and captures the essence of the Coral Mountain landscape.
⋅ Embrace “Desert Modern” as the architectural theme for the West Tract. The intent of this broad theme is to encourage creativity, flexibility, variability, diversity and individuality when considering the architectural design of buildings within the West Tract.

To implement these concepts, design guidelines and standards are provided for each of the West Tract's three Planning Areas.

2.8.1 Residential Guidelines (PA-III)
Planning Area III (PA-III) will accommodate residential neighborhoods that take access from the primary entry road. Residences here will take advantage of spectacular south to southwest facing views of Coral Mountain and the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Commercial corner. These guidelines shall apply equally to both attached and detached products.

Residential Design Vision
The intent in PA-III is to create residential neighborhoods that maximize privacy between individual homes while embracing the desert landscape. Residential design may be reflective of contemporary desert architecture, desert vernacular, and simple interpretations of architectural form. Spanish Colonial, Moorish, or other historically themed architectural styles should be avoided within the “Desert Modern” theme for the project.

Residential design inspired and informed by the desert environment Planning for the residential areas within the West Tract is oriented towards and influenced by the community amenities as activity hubs for the project with open space and trail connections providing easy access to the amenities. Residents are encouraged to walk or use alternate forms of transportation to access the community amenities to help promote a pedestrian friendly community and reduce traffic.
876 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

2.60 Specific Plan 03-067
The climate in La Quinta is characterized by sunny and hot weather in the summer and relatively mild winters with excellent air clarity. The design of residences shall incorporate elements that respond to these conditions, such as patios, courtyards, arcades, plazas, and outdoor pedestian areas which encourage residents to take advantage of outdoor living. Other residential site planning considerations include the following:
⋅ The placement of structures should consider prevalent environmental conditions including sun orientation, prevailing winds, and desired views. ⋅ Orientation of residential development edges should maximize view potential and access to natural open areas and recreation areas.
⋅ Varying house configurations are encouraged to promote variety in the street scene. ⋅ A combination of side-entering and front-entering garages with varied driveway locations are encouraged in order to manage repetitive curb cuts and yard patterns. ⋅ Recreation areas/greenbelt features shall be, wherever feasible, visible upon entry to neighborhoods to enhance neighborhood value.

Residential Materials
Building materials will feature high-performance characteristics meant to reduce carbon footprint with sustainable attributes. Natural stone, stucco, architectural concrete, pre-finished metal panels, cementitious panels or siding, and thermally-modified wood siding may be utilized as the finish material for vertical surfaces in a range of natural colors which complement the desert landscape. Roofing products may be selected from a variety of metal profiles like corrugated or standing seam as well as a variety of roof materials. The colors of the roofing materials shall utilize lighter tones to reduce heat gain such as white, sand, and gray. Roof mounted photo-voltaic solar panels will be used throughout the project.

Sustainable and high-performance residential building materials Residential Massing and Scale
Residences will be broken down into a collection of building forms to avoid a singular massing expression. Courtyards are encouraged as an effective way to engage the desert landscape while reducing the apparent mass of a home. Stand alone casitas or guest and pool 877 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Specific Plan 03-067
houses as well as detached garages with and without carriage units are encouraged. Buildings shall be generally one-story in scale and appropriately massed with secondary two-story elements that create visual intrest. Porches, loggias, trellises, and brise-soleil are encouraged to provide solar control and create opportunities to express crafted details.

Residential Architecture
A variety of architectural designs are preferred. Further, special consideration should be given to passive solar building orientation in order to develop custom homes that perform efficiently in the desert environment .

Windows and Doors
⋅ To withstand the desert heat, high-performance residential windows with responsive passive solar shading strategies are encouraged. Window sash colors shall complement the building.
⋅ Large panes or walls of operable glass allow spaces to flow seamlessly indooroutdoor may be used at select locations. Window and door details that reveal the depth of the wall assembly are encouraged. If trim is used, it shall complement the building.
⋅ The style of windows shall be compatible with the architectural style of the residence. The eclectic use of different window styles or shapes on one building plane may be considered appropriate provided the resulting composition remains coherent.
⋅ Clerestory windows encouraging a natural stack effect for ventilation and visually allowing the roof to float above the wall plane shall be used as long as they are consistent with the style of the residence.

2.62 Specific Plan 03-067
Residential Entries
⋅ The entry of a residence shall be an important design consideration for PA-II.

Entries can be signified by porches, trellises, columns, recesses, projections, sidelights, other architectural features and\or vibrant color accents. ⋅ Residential entries shall be scaled appropriately.

Residential Porches, Loggias, Balconies, and Railings
⋅ Front porches encourage neighborly interaction and signify entry to the unit. ⋅ Porches and loggias shall be incorporated into residential design to the greatest extent possible with a focus on craftsmanship and sun control. ⋅ Porches, loggias, and balconies facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor experiences and provide visual interest, shadow, texture, and shade.
⋅ Second story balconies shall be designed as an integral component of the residence and may be expressed as recessed or additive.
⋅ Railing details will be in harmony with the architectural character of the residence.

Residential porches functioning as shading devices from the intense sun Residential Columns
⋅ Columns shall be used as structural elements consistent with the architectural expression of an individual residence.
⋅ Columns may be used as supports for porches, loggias, balconies, and roofs and express craftsmanship through connection details or material assemblies. ⋅ Use of historic column forms (doric, ionic, corinthian, etc.) are not permitted.

Residential Chimneys
⋅ Chimneys are often important design elements and signature features on residences. Chimney caps shall be simple in design and provide visual screening for vent or flue terminuses.
⋅ The design of chimneys shall be compatible with residential architecture. 879 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Specific Plan 03-067
Residential Garage Doors
⋅ Garage doors shall be compatible with the architectural style of the residence.

Design details like porches, trellises, or deep recesses minimize the impact of garage doors from the driveway and street.
⋅ It is encouraged that two single doors (or a single door designed to look like two doors) be utilized for two-car garages while three-car garages may incorporate a double door and single door or three single doors.
⋅ Where three car garages are proposed, at least one garage entrance should be offset or detached from the remaining two entrances.

Residential Exterior Stairs
⋅ Exterior Stairs shall be simple elements which complement the massing and form of the residence.

Residential Building Details
⋅ Exterior residential mechanical equipment shall be screened from view by walls, fences, or landscaping.
⋅ Guest houses, casitas, detached garages, and carports will be integrated into the design of individual residences and neighborhoods.
⋅ Finish materials on raised planters for floral, vegetable, or herb gardens should complement materials used in the residence.
⋅ Flashing and sheet-metal shall be prefinished.
⋅ Vents, roof appurtenances, gutters, and downspouts shall be integrated into the residential design or screened from view.

Residential Outdoor Spaces
⋅ Residential courtyards and outdoor spaces will be designed to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor experiences. Trees, shade canopies, trellises, or other landscape elements provide shade and comfort and create outdoor gathering spaces that connect with interior uses.

Thoughtfully planned outdoor spaces create privacy for individual residences 880 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

2.64 Specific Plan 03-067
Residential Walls and Fences
⋅ When walls and fences are visible from any street, open space, or other common areas, they shall be compatible in material, color, and design of adjacent architectural features.

Residential Parking
⋅ All residential parking areas, including auto-courts, shall be screened from view of adjacent roadways and neighbors.

2.8.2 Neighborhood Commercial Guidelines (PA-V)
Commercial Design Vision
The Neighborhood Commercial (PA-V) area will create a memorable arrival experience and provide an attractive public retail experience. This commercial corner will provide homeowners and neighbors with convenient retail, food and beverage services in a relaxed lifestyle environment.

Neighborhood Commercial character inspiration
The Neighborhood Commercial area has been planned as a publicly-accessible retail commercial use fronting Madison Street and Avenue 58. It is anticipated that the commercial development will include both neighborhood- and visitor-serving businesses. In addition to vehicular access, a multi-use trail will accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access from within the Coral Mountain Club community and from sidewalks on adjoining public streets.

Commercial buildings will be one and two-story with pedestrian-level interest or detailing.

The following principles are intended to guide the overall design and development goals of the Neighborhood Commercial area:
881 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Specific Plan 03-067
⋅ Streets will maintain a narrow road profile with on-street parking to help slow traffic and encourage walking or electric cart circulation. ⋅ Utilize smaller, neighborhood-scale retail buildings to create a walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment.
⋅ Shade and pedestrian comfort will be provided through the use of arcades, shade devices, landscaping, and building orientation.
⋅ Special areas such as paseos, plazas, and courtyards shall be created to further enhance the pedestrian scale of the commercial area and to provide comfortable spaces for outdoor dining.
⋅ Provide flexibility in commercial architecture to encourage creative and innovative retail concepts.

Commercial Materials
⋅ Materials for Neighborhood Commercial (PA-V) should be complementary to the residential uses in PA-III and feature high-performance characteristics with sustainable attributes. Natural stone, stucco, architectural concrete, pre-finished metal panels, cementitious panels or siding, and thermally-modified wood siding may be utilized as the finish material for vertical surfaces in a range of natural colors which complement the desert landscape. Roofing products may be selected from a variety of metal profiles like corrugated or standing seam as well as a variety of membrane roofs. The colors of the roofing materials shall conform to a range of lighter tones to reduce heat gain such as white, sand, and gray. Roof mounted photo-voltaic solar panels may be used throughout the project to encourage the use of alternate transportation within the project. ⋅ Parking areas shall provide clearly defined pedestrian circulation.

2.8.3 Coral Mountain Club Landscape Guidelines (West Tract) The landscape design will establish an identity and theme for the project and will be an overall unifying element.

Landscape Elements
Figure 2.8-1 Conceptual Landscape Plan depicts the overall landscape concept for the project for illustrative purposes. Generally, the conceptual landscape plan incorporates landscape elements that establish a “sense of place” and creates visual unity and compatibility throughout the project. Key landscape elements would include entryways, streetscapes, and common areas described below. Final landscape design will be subject to Site Development Permit review and Final Landscaping Plan permits.

Project Entries
The principal community entry from Madison Street is intended to create a “sense of place” upon entering the West Tract. Walls, fences, monumentation, and all other hardscape elements will utilize materials, color, and detailing that are compatible with the Project architecture.
882 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

2.66 Specific Plan 03-067
Landscape plantings distinguish the project entrance through the use of grove trees and textural shrubs and grasses.

The primary entry road leading from the primary project entry will provide central access to individual residential communities and amenities. An informal arrangement of water efficient trees and shrubs will charactize this corridor. The landscape treatment along this spine road is designed to establish physical and visual connectivity between uses within the West Tract.

Perimeter Public Streetscape
Landscaping and trails along the perimeter roadway frontages are designed to provide a varied, comforting environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians through provision of a meandering multi-use trail as a component of the public street system. Informal arrangements of water efficient, drought tolerant plantings create interest through texture, color, and form.

Common Areas
Common area landscaping is intended to complement the residential character of the project, creating a unique sense of place and connectivity. The trail network along the primary entry road connects to the community trail system. Select tree and shrub plantings will blend with the native landscape, providing shade for the open space areas and a backdrop to the community.

Thematic Planting Zones
Figure 2.8-2, Planting Zones Diagram identifies the various Thematic Planting Zones within the West Tract. Each Planting Zone is described in further detail in Figures 2.8-3 to

2.8.6 Native Landscape
As illustrated in Figure 2.8-2, Planting Zones Diagram, this Area is to be maintained as existing landscape and preserved as open space. These areas may require refurbushing and some ongoing maintenance.

Desert Revegetation
Depicted in Figure 2.8-3, Planting Zones Diagram: Desert Revegetation, the Desert Revegetation Landscape links the community with the native Coral Mountain landscape by creating an enhanced planting zone that steadily transitions to the surrounding open spaces and landscapes as it nears the southern and western perimeter of the Coral Mountain Club property. This enhancement of a largely native landscape provides a more robust trail and outdoor pursuits experience while also creating a varied and dynamic backdrop for the community
Desert Garden
As shown in Figure 2.8-4, Planting Zones Diagram: Desert Garden, the Desert Garden Landscape engages the community by cultivating a curated “desert” environment within the common areas along roadways or woven into each neighborhood. Residents can walk out of their home and immediately be immersed in the Coral Mountain Club experience. This garden 883 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Specific Plan 03-067
landscape is characterized by a mix of date palms and Washingtonia Palms, and a selection of water efficient accent trees, shrubs, and grasses. As part of the planting concept, “edible plant palettes” may be established within this zone as appropriate to service culinary and community food security needs.

Desert Oasis
Depicted in Figure 2.8-5, Planting Zones Diagram: Desert Oaisis the Desert Oasis Landscape begins at the main project entry and extends along the central access road corridor, providing residents with a more punctuated, welcoming garden retreat as a contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. This landscape is characterized by a greater mixture of foliage colors and types, with species that maintain their appearance throughout the year. The landscape and architecture work together to provide a shady and comfortable environment. Flowering accent plants add seasonal interest throughout the year. The design geometry is casual, but has a direct relationship to the surrounding architecture. The contrast between straight, formal architectural walls and the flowing, organic landscape creates a dynamic signature for key gathering spaces within the community.

Village Landscape
Illustrated in Figure 2.8-6, Planting Zones Diagram: Village Landscape, the Village Landscape consists primarily of streetscape and limited common area plantings within the village core, and is more “urban” in character. Trees and palms that afford shade and provide an architectural quality through their arrangement are a domanint component of this landscape zone. Accent shrubs, grasses, and succulents enhance the urban, architectural quality of the village core. Allees or groves of palm or citrus afford a geometric framework within select “public” spaces such as the hotel arrival, along the boardwalk, or in parking areas. In parks or other village common areas the planting geometry is more casual and varied. As part of the planting concept, “edible plant palettes” may be established within this zone as appropriate to service culinary and community food security needs.

This landscape is characterized by a greater mixture of foliage colors and textures, with species that maintain their appearance throughout the year. The landscape and architecture work together to provide a shady and comfortable environment. Flowering accent plants add seasonal interest throughout the year. The design geometry is casual, but has a direct relationship to the surrounding architecture. The contrast between straight formal architectural walls and the organic landscapes create a dynamic signature for gathering spaces within the Community.

Amenity Landscape
The Village Landscape consists primarily of streetscape and limited common area plantings within the village core, and is more “urban” in character. Trees and palms that afford shade and provide an architectural quality through their arrangement are a domanint component of this landscape zone. Accent shrubs, grasses, and succulents enhance the urban, architectural quality of the village core. Allees or groves of palm or citrus afford a geometric framework within select “public” spaces such as the hotel arrival, along the boardwalk, or in parking areas. In parks or other village common areas the planting geometry is more casual and varied.

2.8.4 Coral Mountain Club (West Tract) Plant Material Palette Table 3, Coral Mountain Club Plant Material Palette, provides a list of compatible trees, shrubs, and groundcovers to be incorporated as part of the landscape design. Landscape architecture for the project is intended to create a lush desert character of visual variety and textural interest while complying with water conserving techniques based on plant selection and technical irrigation system design. Consistent with this goal, use of drought tolerant plant material is a primary consideration in the development of the plant palette to further aid in the conservation of water while promoting this lush desert theme in the prevailing landscape image.

To provide guidance to the builders and designers of future projects within the project, the plant material palette gives guidance to builders and developers within the project. Species in addition to those listed are to be considered in order to provide diversity; however, the plant material in the list provided is relatively successful in the unique soil and climactic conditions of project site.

*Species that are prohibited within certain areas of the project as depicted on Exhibit 13, Conceptual PBS Barrier Plan.
**Fruiting varieties limited to trees designated for active farm-to-table growing at least 500 feet from any western project boundary; ornamental use is prohibited.

2.8.5 Sheep Protection Plan (West Tract)
Only the project areas west of Madison Street include specific measures to ensure that Peninsular Bighorn Sheep (PBS) are restricted from entering the project and that promote proper human interactions between residents and PBS.

Barrier Plan
The project will incorporate fencing and walls along the entire project perimeter as shown on Figure 2.8-7 Conceptual PBS Barrier Plan. This will serve as a physical barrier to prevent Peninsular bighorn sheep (PBS) from accessing the site. The fence/wall design will be approved by the City of La Quinta in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CA DFW). It will draw from the prototypical fencing types described in the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) “PBS Barrier Project” as shown in Figure 2.8-8Typical PBS Fence Cross Section and Figures 2.8-9a & b Representative PBS Fence Photos, and will be consistent with the Coachella Valley Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. Additionally, Tribal monitoring will apply to the fence construction and trail alignment in any areas containing Tribal cultural resources per City of La Quinta requirements.

Plant Palette
The project plant palette (Table 3 in Section 2.8.4) includes approved native specimens listed as “Coachella Valley Native Plants Recommended for Landscaping” (CVMSHCP Table 4- 112) and will prohibit specimens listed as “Prohibited Invasive Ornamental Plants” (MSHCP Table 4-113) in certain open spaces areas and on lots adjoining any sheep barrier as shown on Figure 2.8-7 Conceptual PBS Barrier Plan. In addition, when an implementing project is approvd, the approved project plant palette will be referenced in the Project CC&Rs and will be enforceable by the property owners’ association for the life of the project.

4 General Plan Consistency
California Government Code (Title 7, Division l, Chapter 3, Article 8, Section 65450 - 65457) permits the adoption and administration of specific plans as an implementation tool for elements contained in the local general plan. Specific plans must demonstrate consistency in regulations, guidelines and programs with the goals and policies set forth in the general plan.

The Cjty of La Quinta General Plan contains the following elements: Land Use, Circulation, Open Space, Parks and Recreati~n. Environmental Conservation, Infrastructure and Public Services, Environmental Hazards, Air QuaJjty and Housing. Bach element of the General Plan contains a summary of key issues which direct and gwde that element's goals and policies.

The summary of key issues is used fa the Specific Plan 03-067 as the basis for evaluating the Specific Plan's consistency with the City's General Plan. Applicable key issues are stated below followed by a statement of how the projects Specific Plan as amended conforms thereto.

As th.e Commercial development continues in the City, potential incompatibilities between land uses will need to be addressed. Visual, audible and odoriferous impacts wilJ have to be addressed ·through design, buffering, screening and other mitigation techniques.

Specific Plan 03-067 de.'ligrmtes the majority of the site as Low Den.~ ity Residential and championship golf amenities. Supporting and adjacent development is planned in a variety of heights and elevations in order to minimize the visual impact while providing greenbelt screens to negative a.ff-property influences such as traffic noise and related impllcts.

919 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
The trend of walled residential subdivisions has resulted in many types of perimeter wall treatments in the City. The design of these walls and other elements of the streetscape should be coordinated to create more of a continuous appearance throughout the entire community.

The perimeter wall treatment suggested for· Spec{fic Plan 03-067 establishes a conslrtenJ theme via continuous plantings and wall treatments CLr; envisioned by the City in this statement.

Maintain the City's low density residential character with a balance of supporting commercial and community facilities.

The Land Use Plan of the Specific Plan 03-067 Specific Plan designates the majority of the site as Low Density Residential Residential serving commercial del!e/opment ;s planned within the NeighlJorJwod Commerc;al. land use of the Specific Plan.

Development should not be allowed on hillsides nor alluvial fari areas to protect the scenic resources of the City.

The project boundary of Specific Plan 03-067 is outside of the pristine hill.sides and alluvial.fan areas and therefore generates no impact to these valuable resources.

4.2 Roadway classifications and design standards should be based on current estimates of build-out reflecting approved development projects.

Development standards of perimeter roadways are established in the General Plan Circulation Element. Existfrig and proposed roadway improvements in and around the project boundary are based on current estimates of build-out and consistent with. the goals and policies established in tlte Circulation Element of the Genr:ral. Plan.

Alternative circulation system improvements need to be developed to relieve traffic c-0ngestion along Washington Street.

Specffic Plan 03-067 abuts Madison and Jefferson Streets and takes pr;mary ,md secondary acaessfrom these roadway.~. Impacts to Wcr.i;hington Street are minimal due to the distance from the project site. ·
Traffic impacts resulting from development should be identified through a mandatory traffic impact analysis process.
peve/opment projeot.s at Specific Plan 03-067 are subject to th;s requirement established in the Devel.opment Review Process delineated in rms Specific P Ian docwnent as amended.

Pedestrian and bicycle networks should be developed which link activity centers in order to facilitate recreational wallcing and biking and to establish non~automotive transportation as a viable alternative to driving.

Internal go{( cart, bicycle, and pedestrian access is incorporated in the Circulation Plan for Specific Plan 03-067 and i.'I accommodated on the exli;ting and planned roadway .sy.~tem. 8pllcific Plan 03-067

4.1.2 CIRCULATION ELEMENT
920 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
The circulation system should be designed and maintained to encourage walking, bicycling and transit utilization as alternatives to automobile travel Improvements to existing transit service should be considered, including provision of additional transit stops on major roadways and covered bus shelters at all existing and future stops.

The development along the perimeter of Specific Plan 03-067 designates locations for transit .~·tops and shelters. The internal circulation systems promotes the use of golf carts, pedestr;an. paths and shuttles as a means of minimizing vehicular traffic.

Development on "dune" areas should be enhanced to accentUate 1he scenic, topographical and cultural resources of the City.

Although no areas of typical drme lanllfonrt ex;st within the am.ended Specific Plan boundOJy, the landscape concept designates the dune portions of Specific Plan 03-067 as a valuable resource to be inJegrated into the overall master p!tm of development in either landform mass and topography or in plant material theme. 11ie Championship Golf Courses planned for construction will utilize varied and significant topog,.aphy in an environmentally responsible manner to create dramatlc scenic resources.

Open space should be de.fined to include lriJJside areas, alluvial rans, water courses, golf courses, and natural park areas. Natural, improved and unimproved types of open space should be included within the definition.

Lakes and dramatic earthscaping are the predominant landscape theme throughout Specifw Plan 03-067 land.~cape architecl.ure as planned and will be integrated into the overall masff!r plan grading concept.

As a link to the City's cultural past, elements of existing citrus orchards, date palm groves and .funning areas should be preserved
Specific Plan 03-067 will utilize the success of tlte Rancho La Quinta landscape concept which estahhr;hed Citrus "Groves'' as a primary imaging theme in landscape architecl.ure.

Simtlar/y. Date Palms will be used as the primary vertical statement at the entry points to the project as well as withtn the boulevanl kmd~cape theme.

Pennitted lllild uses and standards for development in open space and watercourse areas should be identified.

The master plan for development w;Jh;n Spec{fic Plan 03-067 has, as a primary focus, recreation amenities.for golf, tennis, and passive walking within the project site.

An integrated bicycle network and well ftmctiorung pedestrian path system should be provided Bike paths are a passive u .. ~e of tire prh;ate roadway system within Specific Plan 03-067 with connections to the existing estah!Lrhed network of bike path({ on adja1,,-enr circulation links.

Sewage effluent should be utilized for large turf (i.e., golf course, active recreation) areas and drought tolerant plant species should be used to reduce the impact <>n the potable water supply of the City.

When eco11om.icully feasible, ret:ycled water sources are envisioned as a source of irrigation water for the recreation elements of the plan area. Drought resistant plant material is a staple of the palette within the plan area.

4.4 Scenic corridors, vjst.as and view sheds of the Santa Rosa and Coral Reef Mountains, as well as views toward the San Gorgonio Pass, shouJd be preserved and enhanced.
