The insurance policy shall contain a severability of interest clause providing that the coverage shall be primary for losses arising out of Contracting Party’s performance hereunder and neither City nor its insurers shall be required to contribute to any such loss. An endorsement evidencing the foregoing and naming the City and its officers and employees as additional insured (on the Commercial General Liability policy only) must be submitted concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and approved by City prior to commencement of the services hereunder.

Contracting Party shall carry automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident against all claims for injuries against persons or damages to property arising out of the use of any automobile by Contracting Party, its officers, any person directly or indirectly employed by Contracting Party, any subcontractor or agent, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, arising directly or indirectly out of or related to Contracting Party’s performance under this Agreement. If Contracting Party or Contracting Party’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contracting Party shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person. The term “automobile” includes, but is not limited to, a land motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer designed for travel on public roads. The automobile insurance policy shall contain a severability of interest clause providing that coverage shall be primary for losses arising out of Contracting Party’s performance hereunder and neither City nor its insurers shall be required to contribute to such loss.

In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, Contracting Party shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Exhibit to the Contract Officer. The procuring of such insurance or the delivery of policies or certificates evidencing the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Contracting Party’s obligation to indemnify City, its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or agents.

E.2 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Contracting Party fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:

Order Contracting Party to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold any payment(s) which become due to Contracting Party hereunder until Contracting Party demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof. c.

Exhibit E

Page 4 of 6 ends

E.3 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by Contracting Party. Contracting Party and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contracting Party:

1. Contracting Party agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.

3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.

4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contracting Party shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contracting Party’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contracting Party or deducted from sums due Contracting Party, at City option.

8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contracting Party or any subcontractor, is intended 153 Return to Agenda Link
Exhibit E

Page 5 of 6 ends

to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City.

9. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Contracting Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contracting Party.

Contracting Party agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contracting Party agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

10. Contracting Party agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contracting Party, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.

11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contracting Party ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.

12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.

13. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contracting Party of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

14. Contracting Party will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.

15. Contracting Party shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from 154 Return to Agenda Link
Exhibit E

Page 6 of 6 ends

Contracting Party’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and an additional insured endorsement is required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages.

16. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents.

17. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.

18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.

19. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Exhibit.

20. Contracting Party agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contracting Party for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

21. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contracting Party arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. 155 Return to Agenda Link

When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Contracting Party’s Services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contracting Party shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities of every kind, nature, and description, damages, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Contracting Party or of any subcontractor), costs and expenses of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation, to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Contracting Party, its officers, agents, employees or subcontractors (or any entity or individual that Contracting Party shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this agreement. With respect to the design of public improvements, the Contracting Party shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse of the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit A without the written consent of the Contracting Party. b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability.

c. Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction (Limitation on Indemnity). Without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Contracting Party shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contracting Party will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

d. Indemnification Provision for Design Professionals.

1. Applicability of this Section F.1(d). Notwithstanding Section F.1(a) hereinabove, the following indemnification provision shall apply to a Contracting Party who constitutes a “design professional” as the term is defined in paragraph 3 below.

2. Scope of Indemnification. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Contracting Party’s Services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contracting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities of every kind, nature, and description, damages, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Contracting Party or of any subcontractor), costs and expenses, including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, reimbursement of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation, to the extent same are caused by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Contracting Party, its officers, agents, employees or subcontractors (or any entity or individual that Contracting Party shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this agreement. With respect to the design of public improvements, the Contracting Party shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse of the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit A without the written consent of the Contracting Party.

3. Design Professional Defined. As used in this Section F.1(d), the term “design professional” shall be limited to licensed architects, registered professional engineers, licensed professional land surveyors and landscape architects, all as defined under current law, and as may be amended from time to time by Civil Code § 2782.8.

Contracting Party agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth herein this Exhibit F, as applicable to the Contracting Party, from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contracting Party in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Contracting Party fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Contracting Party agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this Exhibit. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth in this Agreement are binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Contracting Party and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 157 Return to Agenda Link

The following 2 projects have since been completed: (1) the Jefferson Street and Highway 111 Intersection Improvements Project No. 2022-07, and (2) the Jefferson Street Slurry Seal Improvements Project No. 2021-17.

On December 3, 2025, the Project completed the Preliminary Design and Environmental Studies phase with the City of Indio’s adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program via Indio Council Resolution No. 10530. With environmental clearance complete, the Project is advancing into final design and right-ofway support. 170 Return to Agenda Link
Amendment No. 2, if approved, would expand the scope of the Agreement to include these next phases, and increase the overall project’s spending authority by $144,937.50, for a total amount of $182,437.50 for La Quinta’s share. Sufficient funding is available under the Project’s CIP budget as noted above.

Under the terms of the Agreement:

Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve. Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: January 20, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: INTRODUCE FOR FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 5.94 TO TITLE 5 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO

REGULATING THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM PRODUCTS WITHIN THE CITY

RECOMMENDATION
A. Move to take up Ordinance No. __ by title and number only and waive further reading.

B. Move to introduce at first reading, Ordinance No. __ to add Chapter 5.94 to Title 5 of the La Quinta Municipal Code related to regulating the sale and distribution of kratom products within the City of La Quinta.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• In October 2025, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance to regulate kratom based products (Attachment 1).
• Kratom is a Southeast Asian botanical with opioid effects due to its active compounds of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). • Kratom is largely unregulated in the U.S., but rising concerns over health risks, including addiction, overdose, liver injury and death, have prompted new federal and state regulation efforts.
• The Riverside County Sheriff and California Narcotic Officers’ Association support and encourage cities to adopt an ordinance regulating the sale of kratom products (Attachment 2).

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In October 2025, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an ordinance regulating kratom products. The regulations set a minimum purchase age of 21, restrict products with more than 2% 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, prohibit concentrated synthetic 7-OH products, and establish penalties to ensure safe marketing and protection BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1

of minors. These regulations are in response to the risks posed by highly concentrated synthetic kratom, which has been linked to serious health concerns.

Kratom or mitragyna speciosa, is a Southeast Asian tropical tree with leaves containing active compounds, mainly mitragynine and 7-OH. These compounds produce stimulant effects at low doses, and an opioid like sedation at higher doses. The plant’s pain-relieving effects and high potency have contributed to increased recreational use. Kratom products are available in forms such as powders, capsules, and extracts.

At the federal level, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has intensified oversight of kratom and 7-OH. The FDA has declared that no prescription or over the counter drug containing kratom is legally sold in the U.S. Moreover, Kratom is sometimes promoted as a dietary supplement or food additive, however, it cannot be legally sold in these forms under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), but is still sold at convenience stores, smoke shops, online retailers, and other permitted outlets.

The FDA has issued several warning letters to companies illegally marketing products containing high levels of 7-OH, this has resulted in a formal request to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), to add 7-OH to the controlled substance list.

In addition to Riverside County, Orange County, and the cities of San Diego, Oceanside, Newport Beach, Solana Beach, and Jurupa Valley have implemented regulations on the sale and distribution of Kratom products. These efforts highlight a coordinated initiative across local and state levels to protect health and safety against harmful risk of high potency kratom.

Chapter 5.94 would establish reasonable regulations of high potency and synthetic kratom products by setting a minimum purchase age of 21, require retailers to verify age, set potency limits, prohibit packaging that appeals to minors, restrict the sale of kratom products that have been synthesized, and impose criminal and administrative penalties for violations. This ordinance is consistent with regulations adopted by neighboring jurisdictions and Riverside County.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may introduce the proposed Ordinance as submitted or revise the proposed regulations and introduce the Ordinance as revised.

ORDINANCE NO. ____

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 5.94 TO
TITLE 5 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE,

RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE SALE AND

DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM PRODUCTS IN THE CITY OF

LA QUINTA
WHEREAS, the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has reported that consumption of kratom produces both stimulant effects in low doses and sedative effects in high doses, and can lead to psychotic symptoms, psychological and physiological dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, and insomnia, and has labeled kratom a “Drug of Concern;” and WHEREAS, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported that approximately 1.7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat various conditions without medical supervision. The agency has cautioned that kratom is not approved for use as a dietary supplement and has been linked to serious health risks, including seizures, liver toxicity, physical dependence, substance use disorder, and neonatal abstinence syndrome—where infants exposed to kratom before birth experience withdrawal symptoms such as jitteriness, irritability, and muscle stiffness and, in some cases, death; and
WHEREAS, Health officials, including the FDA, have raised concerns over the safety of kratom products, particularly those with higher concentrations of 7-OH, which may increase the potential for abuse and harm public health; and WHEREAS, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom or its two main chemical components, mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine; and
WHEREAS, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States and are not subject to government-mandated safety testing, resulting in a lack of oversight and no established safety standards regarding ingredients, purity, or dosage; and WHEREAS, local governments and municipalities have regulated or prohibited the sale and possession of kratom with their respective jurisdictions including but not limited to Riverside County, Orange County, and Cities of San Diego, Oceanside, Newport Beach, Solana Beach, and Jurupa Valley; and
WHEREAS, the La Quinta City Council, in its commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of its residents by ensuring that products available for sale in the City of La Quinta do not pose undo health risks, and hereby regulate kratom and restrict the sale and distribution of Kratom and 7-OH products containing more than 2% of 7-OH 241 Return to Agenda Link

CEQA: The City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review under, or, in the alternative, is exempt from, the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and implementing regulations, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”), as the adoption of this Ordinance is not a “Project” as defined by CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(3).) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The requested action is to amend the La Quinta Municipal Code to regulate and restrict the sale of a potentially harmful substance within the City’s jurisdictional boundary at-large, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the proposed Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)), The requested action is further exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

SECTION 5. POSTING: The City Clerk shall, within 15 days after passage of this Ordinance, cause it to be posted in at least three public places designated by resolution of the City Council (Resolution No. 2022-027), shall certify to the adoption and posting of this Ordinance, and shall cause this Ordinance and its certification, together with proof of posting to be entered into the permanent record of Ordinances of the City of La Quinta.

5.94.010 Purpose.

A. The purpose and expressed intent of this chapter is to regulate within the City of La Quinta the sale and distribution of kratom products containing more than 2% of 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, in order to reduce public health risks associated with unregulated, high-potency, and synthetic kratom. The La Quinta City Council recognizes the health risks by these readily accessible products and hereby exercises its authority to regulate kratom products pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution (among other laws) that authorize the city to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws.

B. Additionally, the purpose and expressed intent of this chapter is to establish a minimum purchase age of 21, to establish potency limits, to require retailers to verify age, and to restrict the sale of kratom products that have been synthesized, and to impose criminal and administrative penalties for violations.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: January 20, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS SILVERROCK PARK FACILITY MURAL CONCEPTS

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss SilverRock Park facility mural concepts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• On September 16, 2025, John Cuevas (Cuevas) was selected by City Council to design a mural for a facility at SilverRock Park (SRR). • Cuevas designed an additional mural concept for Council review and consideration.
• Staff requests Council’s input on the design elements and concepts for the final mural design.

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget of $10,000 is allocated for the design of the mural. Funds are available in the Art Purchases Account (Account No. 270-0000-74800).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On March 27, 2025, staff published a Call to Artists for the SRR mural project. On September 16, 2025, Council selected Cuevas to design the mural, and expressed interest in reviewing additional design concepts for consideration. Staff is requesting Council’s input on the new and original mural concepts, as well as any preferred design elements to be incorporated into the final mural.

The original concept draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and uses natural colors to showcase local wildlife and native plants, including sand verbena, smoke tree, fan palm, hawk, roadrunner, chuckwalla, and Gamble’s quail. The west-facing side of the building would feature a sun and water element, similar to a natural spring. The additional concept includes panels depicting colorful images of plants and animals. The concept draws inspiration from gemstones as each panel will be divided into facets with reflections and glares to mimic beautiful gems.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: January 20, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: CONTINUED FROM NOVEMBER 18, 2025: CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE PROJECT TO A DATE CERTAIN (ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 2024-0002, SPECIFIC PLAN 2022-0002, ZONE CHANGE 2024-0002, AND ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 2024-0002); CEQA: A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 2024-0002, SCH# 2025050964) HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT; LOCATION: GENERALLY NORTH OF AVENUE 48, SOUTH OF THE COACHELLA VALLEY STORMWATER CHANNEL, EAST

OF WASHINGTON STREET AND WEST OF JEFFERSON STREET

RECOMMENDATION
Continue the public hearing for the Highway 111 Specific Plan and Development Code Project to a date certain of February 17, 2026, to receive comments from Council on conceptual modifications to the Development Code and provide time for staff and consultants to revise the Development Code accordingly.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Highway 111 Corridor area (Corridor) has been a priority area for long-term planning within the City since 2018, with a Corridor study having been prepared by the Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) in 2018 and the Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019 Corridor Plan) prepared in 2019 by Rangwala and Associates.
• The City Council (Council) authorized the preparation of a Specific Plan (SP) and Development Code (DC) for the Corridor in 2020 to further the goals of the 2019 Corridor Plan and approved a contract with GHD and Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC) to prepare the documents
• The proposed applications include a Specific Plan (SP), Zone Change (ZC), and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA). The SP proposes to repeal and replace the eleven existing specific plans with a single, unified specific plan for the entire Corridor, implementing the 2019 Corridor Plan vision. The ZC proposes to change the commercial zoning of the Corridor from Regional Commercial, Commercial Park, and Community Commercial to Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) and remove the Mixed Use Overlay and Affordable Housing Overlays, and include an Auto Oriented Development (AOD) Overlay and Active Frontage (AF) Overlay. The ZOA proposes adding a new section to Title 9 to incorporate development regulations that implement the new SP.
263 Return to Agenda Link
• The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing on October 14, 2025, and recommended that the Council approve the applications. • The City Council reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing on November 18, 2025, where they voted to continue the public hearing until January 20, 2026, to give staff time to further review the proposed DC with stakeholders and provide suggested revisions to the SP and DC if needed. • Staff have met with and reviewed the proposed DC with stakeholders and have proposed some suggested revisions to provide more clarity and flexibility, and to attempt to address concerns of stakeholders.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Corridor area comprises of an approximate 410-acre commercial area within the City and generates approximately 75% of the City’s sales tax revenue. The proposed SP and DC would continue to allow for commercial development in the Corridor to preserve the sales tax base.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Corridor is located in the central portion of the City and includes properties to the north and south of Highway 111, generally between Avenue 48 on the south and the Whitewater Stormwater Channel on the north, and generally between Washington and Jefferson Streets on the west and east (Attachment 1). The Corridor has been a priority for long-term planning within the City since 2018. Planning efforts included a study prepared by the Urban Land Institute, and a Corridor plan accepted by Council and Planning Commission in 2019, which is known as the Highway 111 Corridor Plan or 2019 Corridor Plan. This led to further planning work on the Corridor in the form of an overall SP and DC for the entire Corridor, along with environmental analysis to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Work on the SP and DC project continued between 2020 and 2025, with the preparation of a market study, development strategy study, analysis of the existing code and specific plans, a draft SP, a draft DC, stakeholder outreach, and preparation and public review circulation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).

To facilitate this project, an SP, ZC, and ZOA have been prepared. The SP proposes to repeal and replace the eleven existing specific plans with a single, unified SP for the entire Corridor, implementing the 2019 Corridor Plan vision. The ZC proposes to change the commercial zoning of the Corridor from Regional Commercial (RC), Commercial Park (CP), and Community Commercial (CC) to Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) and remove the Mixed Use Overlay and Affordable Housing Overlays, and include AOD and AF Overlays.

The ZOA proposes adding a new section to Title 9 to incorporate development regulations that implement the new SP.

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing on October 14, 2025, and after hearing public testimony, unanimously recommended that the 264 Return to Agenda Link
Council adopt the MND and approve the SP, ZC, and ZOA.

The City Council reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing on November 18, 2025, where they voted to continue the public hearing until January 20, 2026, to give staff time to further review the proposed DC with stakeholders and provide suggested changes if needed. The staff report for the November 18, 2025, meeting is available at the following link:
https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/51988/638996046531000000 Legal Framework
All cities, including La Quinta, derive their land-use authority from the California Constitution under what is commonly known as the “police power.” This power is broad and flexible, allowing cities to enact and enforce laws for the promotion and protection of health, safety, and general welfare related to legitimate governmental purposes, which include the city’s land use, zoning, and related licensing powers. Requirements for exercising this police power are primarily codified in the Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Section 65000 et seq.). This state law, among many other provisions, establishes a “hierarchy” for local government land use planning, structured from top to bottom to include (1) the general plan; (2) any specific plan(s); (3) a zoning code; (4) specific relief from the zoning code – e.g., conditional use permits or variances; (5) subdivision maps; and (6) building and similar permits.

Pursuant to Planning and Zoning Law, general plans, specific plans, and zoning codes are adopted as “legislative acts”. City councils, as the legislative bodies adopting these “legislative acts,” have great deference and broad discretion when developing, considering, and approving them. The law recognizes that local planning and zoning involve weighing and balancing competing interests in the formulation of development policies. While specific plans and zoning codes must be consistent with the General Plan, consistency does not require compliance with all general plan goals and policies if a specific plan and zoning code furthers some of them and does not hinder their attainment. Courts have interpreted the consistency provision as requiring a project to be “in agreement or harmony with” the terms of the applicable plan. The staff report is structured in the hierarchy described above.

Additionally, through a city’s “police power” authority, a city may make land use regulations that could affect economic values. Absent some state authorization that would vest a right to develop a property, such as a development agreement, there is no vested right to develop or use property based on existing uses authorized under a general plan, specific plan, or zoning code.

STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
The direction from the Council at the November 18, 2025, hearing was to review the proposed DC with stakeholders, as some had expressed concerns about the project. Staff reviewed the site plans and elevations of two proposed projects at the City-owned property north of Vista Coralina, east of Dune Palms (near the Residence Inn), and provided the 265 Return to Agenda Link
developers with an analysis of the proposed DC and the existing Code, explaining how the proposed projects comply with both. Both projects are able to meet most of the requirements of the proposed DC and the existing Code, with some adjustments to the site design and elevations. Staff continue to work with these developers on their plans. Staff have reviewed and continue to review the proposed DC against site plans for projects of other developers along the Corridor as well. Additionally, Staff and GHD met with the team from Washington Park to discuss their concerns regarding the proposed DC and how their site integrates with it. These concerns primarily pertained to the restriction of auto-oriented uses to the AOD Overlay within 300 feet of the Highway 111 Corridor and the provision for open space on vacant pads that are developed with infrastructure, such as retention basins or parking lots.

CONCEPTUAL MODIFICATIONS TO PROPOSED CODE
The following is a list of conceptual modifications to the proposed DC based on staff review of various projects and discussions with developers/stakeholders. These modifications provide further clarification for staff assisting developers/stakeholders with their projects and attempt to address concerns expressed by developers/stakeholders. • Clarify allowed encroachment standard for roof overhang, architectural features, and stairs/ramps
• Clarify that Image Corridor height limitations/setbacks are superseded by the HMU Zone Standards
• Allow uncovered patios (no roof) to encroach up to the sidewalk in the Active Frontage Overlay, so that the patio/dining area is an extension of the sidewalk & public realm
• Update list of allowed Minor Adjustments to authorize additional flexibility for: open space, frontages, landscaping, and transparency standards. • Update terms used, for consistency
• Delete all bike parking requirements since these are regulated in the Building Code, and update section cross-references, as needed
• Clarify text regarding safety fencing (e.g., fences for pools, etc.)from fence height and design restrictions; safety requirements would prevail over zoning standards • Exempt uses in the AOD overlay from open space standards and frontage requirements
• Revise frontage type(s) to account for hotel lobby and common retail entry types and adjust percentage of frontage required
• Refine "Shopfront" frontage standards to clarify measurements • Modify Open Space requirements to apply only to residential and residential mixeduse projects o Non-residential projects less than 3.5 acres will not trigger the open space requirement. Non-residential projects 3.5 acres and larger will trigger civic space standards
• Review and update, as needed, the applicability of large site standards to ensure subdivision of sites currently 3.5 acres or larger (as well as development of multiple 266 Return to Agenda Link
individual parcels with combined acreage of 3.5 acres or larger) will comply with large site standards and the site planning process
Auto Oriented Uses
Staff does not recommend adding any auto-oriented uses to areas outside the AOD Overlay. Uses such as drive-through restaurants, car washes, or gas/service stations are not ideal for locations outside the AOD Overlay and generally would not be consistent with the intent of the Highway 111 SP. Other potential auto-oriented uses that aren’t listed in the table of permitted uses, for example, social clubs that are car-oriented, can be interpreted by the Director to determine if the use is consistent with the intent of the SP and if the use is permitted by right or with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Director’s interpretation can be appealed to the Planning Commission. Alternatively, Council may advise staff to include some auto-oriented uses outside the AOD Overlay. Staff recommend that any such uses be allowed with a CUP, which would be subject to Planning Commission approval and would need to meet certain findings for approval, including consistency with the SP. Below is a table summarizing the auto-oriented uses and their permitted or prohibited status in the proposed DC and the existing zoning code.

MODIFICATIONS TO PROJECTS AFTER PLANNING COMMISSION

RECOMMENDATION
The California Government Code addresses changes implemented by the Council after the Planning Commission’s initial recommendation on projects involving specific plans (Gov.

Code Section 65356) and zoning ordinance amendments (Gov. Code Section 65857). Staff does not believe that the conceptual revisions to the DC will trigger any corresponding revisions to the SP; therefore, no “substantial modification” under Gov. Code Section 65356 would exist with respect to the SP. Regarding zoning ordinance amendments, however, any modification of the proposed ordinance or amendment not previously considered by the Planning Commission would need to be referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation, but the Planning Commission is not required to hold a public hearing on such modifications. The conceptual revisions to the DC would trigger this requirement.

Council may continue its public hearing to a date certain, and in the interim, allow time for the Planning Commission to consider the conceptual revisions and provide a recommendation on any modifications prior to Council’s continued public hearing. Staff suggests the public hearing be continued to February 17, 2026.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may:
(1) Elect to continue the public hearing and extend it further beyond February 17, 2026; or
(2) Elect to not grant the continuance as recommended by staff and adopt Resolutions to (1) adopt a MND (EA 2024-0002, SCH # 2025050964); (2) approve SP 2022- 0002; and introduce for first reading an Ordinance to approve ZC 2024-0002, and ZOA 2024-0002, as presented at the November 18, 2025, Council meeting.

1.1 CEQA Requirements
This project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The lead agency is City of La Quinta (City). The purpose of this Initial Study (IS) is to provide a basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or a Negative Declaration (ND). This IS is intended to satisfy the requirements of the CEQA (Public Resources Code, Div 13, Sec 21000-21177) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sec 15000-15387). CEQA encourages lead agencies and applicants to modify their projects to avoid significant adverse impacts.

Section 15063(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines states the content requirements of an IS as follows:

1. A description of the project including the location of the project;

2. An identification of the environmental setting;

3. An identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix, or other method, provided that entries on a checklist or other form are briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence to support the entries;

4. A discussion of the ways to mitigate the significant effects identified, if any;

5. An examination of whether the project would be consistent with existing zoning, plans, and other applicable land use controls; and

6. The name of the person or persons who prepared or participated in the IS.

Environmental Analysis Methodology
The State CEQA Guidelines present several “Special Situations” that include unique requirements for environmental evaluation. Section 15183 discusses “Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning.” Subsection (a) states, “CEQA mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. 280 Return to Agenda Link
Project Information
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-2 This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies.” This project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan, which is included in Section 4, References.

The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would enable proposed future projects to consider this impact analysis when evaluating their potential environmental impacts. Where sufficiently addressed herein, future development may be considered “within the scope” of this environmental analysis. As a programmatic-level document, however, this CEQA analysis is not anticipated to provide sufficient detail to fully address the project-specific impacts of all future development. Indeed, it is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects once sufficient details are known. In such cases, the necessary environmental studies and documentation may be conducted at the time of proposal. It is anticipated that CEQA compliance for future projects would be tiered from this document.

1.2 Project Background
The City is preparing a Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (hereinafter “Specific Plan” or “Project”) and Highway 111 Development Code to facilitate the establishment of Highway 111 as a vibrant mixed-use corridor. The Highway 111 Corridor (Corridor) consists of a roughly two-mile stretch of businesses, mostly retail, located along the La Quinta portion of Highway 111, between Washington and Jefferson Streets.

Approximately 75% of the City’s sales tax is generated in the Corridor. The Specific Plan is intended to guide the orderly development and redevelopment of local infrastructure, businesses, and housing within the Corridor. The City intends that these improvements would provide a unifying blueprint for one interconnected space to shop, live, work, and play, accessible via Highway 111, the Coachella Valley (CV) Link, and other multi-use paths. The Highway 111 Development Code is a land use policy that establishes development standards for the Corridor's expansion, incorporating location-specific guidelines like active frontage, and offering detailed information on qualifying uses, as well as additional requirements and permissions for future growth. The CV Link is a 40-mile pathway providing access to pedestrians, bicyclists, and low-speed electric vehicles on a dual pathway that runs mostly parallel to Highway 111 along the Whitewater Wash just north of the Project area. This regional pathway connects Palm Springs to Thermal and is expected to draw 13,500-16,000 users annually (City of La Quinta, 2019).

Population growth anticipated by the Specific Plan is assumed to be captured within the City’s current General Plan; however, the new Specific Plan would supersede and effectively replace existing Specific Plans that were previously adopted within the Project vicinity. Previously adopted Specific Plans are as follows:
• SP 1987-011 Washington Park
• SP 1989-014 111 La Quinta Center
• SP 1996-027 Jefferson Plaza
• SP 1996-028 Dune Palms Center
• SP 1997-029 Centre at La Quinta
• SP 1999-036 La Quinta Corporate Center
• SP 2000-043 Point Happy
• SP 2000-047 La Quinta Court
• SP 2003-066 The Pavilion
• SP 2005-075 Komar Desert Center
• SP 2008-085 Coral Mountain Apartments
281 Return to Agenda Link
Project Information
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-3 Additional details regarding population growth are provided in Section 1.4 below.

This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been prepared in accordance with CEQA to provide a programmatic-level review of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan.

1.3 Project Location and Existing Setting
The Specific Plan project area is located along Highway 111 within the City of La Quinta, which is in the County of Riverside. The City is located in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains in the Coachella Valley. The Valley extends about 45 miles southeast from the San Gorgonio Pass to the northern shore of the Salton Sea and the neighboring Imperial Valley. Cities in the vicinity of La Quinta include the cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and Indio, among others.

The Project area encompasses just over approximately 410 acres (~0.64 square miles) of the Highway 111 Corridor spanning from approximately Washington Street on the west end to Jefferson Street on the east; and from the Whitewater flood control channel on the north to Avenue 47, and Vista Coralina Lane on the south.

Development along Highway 111 in the Project area comprises a mix of uses, principally commercial (e.g., big box retail, strip center, grocery, restaurants, auto dealers) and large surface parking lots. Some residential uses are located to the south. There are a few vacant parcels scattered throughout the Project area. Landscaping consists of street trees and other ornamental xeriscape. Transportation facilities are largely improved with a full street network, curbs and sidewalks, and crosswalks at major intersections.

Figure 1-1, Project Vicinity, presents the Project area within the context of the City. Figure 1-2, Current and Potential Development Areas, presents the Highway 111 Corridor within the City and outlines the seven development areas along the corridor.

1.4 Project Description
Purpose
The proposed Specific Plan provides guidance for implementing development within the Project area. The draft Specific Plan is available for public review by contacting the City of La Quinta Design and Development Department.

As noted above, the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan (hereinafter “General Plan”) and furthers the objectives of the General Plan by providing a more detailed planning document for development of specific sites and streetscape improvements. This Specific Plan is intended to provide a comprehensive development approach for Highway 111 focused on public connectivity, mixeduse development, and enhanced transportation options. Introduction of mixed-use development is essential for the future of the Highway 111 Corridor. By combining commercial, residential, and recreational spaces, the Highway 111 Corridor is intended to become a vibrant urban environment that encourages economic growth and enhances the quality of life. Integration of pedestrian-friendly pathways and dedicated bike lanes, for example, would ensure seamless connectivity between residential areas, commerce, and cultural hubs, fostering a more engaged and active community. The Highway 111 Corridor is currently heavily vehicle-centric, and this Specific Plan aims to promote public accessibility through residential and retail densification and introduction of more compatible land uses to improve the Corridor’s urban landscape. This holistic development approach is anticipated to revitalize the region and serve as a catalyst for urban renewal and community well-being.

Project Information
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-4 The City of La Quinta Municipal Code sets forth site-specific standards and regulations that govern the size, shape, and type of use that would occur in accordance with the proposed Project. The proposed Specific Plan is intended to be built out over the course of 20 to 25 years. Economically feasible buildout under the Specific Plan could result in the following additional square footages (sf):
• Residential: 1,464,000 to 1,837,000 sf
• Retail: 107,000 to 194,000 sf
• Office: 82,000 sf
• Hotel: 150,000 to 250,000 sf
Population
In 2020, La Quinta's permanent population was estimated to be 40,660 individuals. However, during the winter months, the seasonal population swells with an estimated additional 10,000 individuals, marking a 25% increase in the City's total population during that period (City of La Quinta, 2022). Population growth is expected to rise along the Highway 111 Corridor over the next two decades and beyond. This Specific Plan aligns with the objectives of the City’s General Plan, which prioritizes mixed-use development while promoting seamless public connectivity and optimal land use to accommodate future generations.

Embracing this growth is advantageous as it enables a more efficient and sustainable utilization of space, enhancing the accessibility of amenities and services for residents while promoting economic vitality and community engagement.

Furthermore, this Specific Plan aligns with the City’s General Plan Housing Element Goal H1: Provide opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the City’s existing and projected population (City of La Quinta, 2022). The proposed densification along the Highway 111 Corridor aims to offer enhanced and abundant housing options, including urban housing options, to accommodate an expanding population. This Specific Plan would repurpose areas that were formerly underutilized, such as parking lots and large-scale retail establishments, transforming them into vibrant residential spaces with pedestrian-friendly uses. By maximizing the potential of these previously inefficiently utilized areas, the Project not only addresses the pressing need for housing but also revitalizes the urban landscape, fostering a more dynamic and sustainable community environment.

Development Strategy Areas
The proposed Specific Plan establishes seven Development Strategy Areas (DSAs), which provide a vision for future land uses, development standards, and design guidelines as envisioned by the City. The seven DSAs, and their development focus, are provided in Table 1.1.

Project Information
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-7 Highway 111 Development Code
The Highway 111 Development Code will govern land development along the Corridor and is designed to achieve consistent and aesthetically pleasing urban environments by prioritizing physical structure over the strict exclusion of land uses. Unlike traditional zoning codes, which focus mainly on dictating permitted land uses and activity levels, the Highway 111 Development Code concentrates on ensuring that buildings harmonize with their surroundings, allowing for a more diverse mix of activities within them. The Highway 111 Development Code seeks to integrate key land use and urban form objectives into adaptive development policies under the Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) Zone.

These policies promote active frontages, where building facades engage with the street to create a vibrant pedestrian environment with visible goods, services, and activities. At the same time, the code emphasizes designing future development – whether new, infill, or replacement – to coexist harmoniously with existing auto-oriented uses along the Corridor, ensuring the continued presence of commercial activities like drivethru establishments. Additionally, the code proposes a pedestrian-friendly block street network that supports mixed-use, townhomes, and retail developments, encouraging off-street paths and using roadways from signalized or roundabout intersections as access points and anchors for the block network.

This approach ensures that new developments align with the desired character and vision of a neighborhood or community.

Implementing the Highway 111 Development Code in the Highway 111 HMU Zone would enhance the community by offering clear guidelines that govern the visual aspects of development, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic and harmonious atmosphere while simplifying and expediting the development process. By focusing on the physical form and design of development, rather than simply regulating land use, the Highway 111 Development Code will support the creation of walkable, diverse neighborhoods that reflect the unique character and identity of each community.

1.5 Required Agency Approvals
The City’s approval of the proposed Specific Plan would not require any permits or approvals by other public agencies. Actions subsequent to the Specific Plan that support implementation of the General Plan may require permits or approvals by other public agencies. The following permits and/or approvals will be conducted concurrently with the proposed Specific Plan:
• City of La Quinta –Zone Change and Development Code Update (Zoning Ordinance Amendment).

Future implementation of development proposed by the Specific Plan may require the following approvals:
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (applicable to fill within jurisdictional waterways and wetlands).

1.6 Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program
The Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP) for this IS/MND is included in Appendix A. The MMRP includes a summary of all mitigation measures and description(s) of how each mitigation measure would be implemented to ensure all potential impacts associated with the Project or future development projects would result in a less than significant environmental impact.

1.7 Tribal Consultation
CEQA requires that lead agencies determine whether a proposed Project would have a significant effect on tribal cultural resources. The CEQA Guidelines define tribal cultural resources as: (1) a site, feature, place, cultural landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe that is listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or on a local register of historical resources as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k); or (2) a resource determined by the Lead Agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant according to the historical register criteria in PRC Section 5024.1(c), and considering the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe.

Pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB 18), prior to the adoption or any amendment of a city or county’s general plan, proposed on or after March 1, 2005, the city or county shall conduct consultations with California Native American Tribes that are on the contact list maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of preserving or mitigating impacts to places, features, and objects described in Sections 5097.9 and 5097.995 of the Public Resources Code (PRC) that are located within the city or county’s jurisdiction.

Similarly, pursuant to Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), the CEQA Lead Agency for any project for which a Notice of Preparation, Notice of Mitigated Negative Declaration, or Notice of Negative Declaration is filed on or after July 1, 2015, must provide notification to tribes that may be traditionally and culturally affiliated to the geographic area where the project is located. The City conducted concurrent SB 18 and AB 52 consultation. Seventeen Native American Tribes were contacted, pursuant to the list acquired from the NAHC, and PRC § 21080.3.1 and Chapter 532 Statutes of 2014 (i.e., AB 52), as part of preparing this environmental review document. Refer to Section 3.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for additional information.

There are no adopted scenic vistas within the Project area. La Quinta is a desert resort city situated in Riverside County, California. Positioned between Indian Wells and Indio, California, it is one of the nine cities comprising the scenic Coachella Valley (CV), with vistas of the Little San Bernardino, Santa Rosa, and San Jacinto Mountains. Views of the Indio Hills and other scenic hilly regions are present from various locations within the City. The La Quinta General Plan land use designation for the Highway 111 Corridor is General Commercial (GC), and consists of a mix of retail stores, office spaces, restaurants, and serviceoriented establishments (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Highway 111 Corridor contains a mix of zoning including Regional Commercial (CR), Community Commercial (CC), Commercial Park (CP) and Medium Density Residential (RM).

While the construction of new buildings and structures within the City may potentially obstruct views of the surrounding natural landscape, the policies outlined in the Community Development, Land Use, Circulation, and Natural Resources sections of the City of La Quinta 2035 General Plan are designed to mitigate such impacts (City of La Quinta, 2022). These policies mandate that any future development carefully consider the preservation of scenic vistas and resources. By integrating these considerations, the City ensures that both growth and environmental stewardship are balanced, maintaining the aesthetic appeal and natural beauty of the area for future generations. This approach not only supports sustainable urban planning but also enhances the quality of life for all residents by preserving the visual access to nature amidst urban expansion.

Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-2 Furthermore, the implementation of the Highway 111 Development Code along the Highway 111 Corridor would prioritize the physical form of buildings and public spaces over strict land use categories. As previously described in Section 1.4, the Highway 111 Development Code is an aesthetic-focused approach to development and land use planning. By emphasizing the design, scale, and appearance of buildings within a specific area, the Highway 111 Development Code seeks to create cohesive and visually appealing communities that reflect the character and identity of the region. This approach will ensure that new construction along the Highway 111 Corridor aligns with the area's vision for growth and preserves its unique character.
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than Significant Impact: A scenic vista can be described as a picturesque scene of open space with little or no intrusions. The Project encompasses various enhancements to the public infrastructure in order to provide a more suitable environment for commercial enterprises to operate and serve the community, residential, and hotel space, as well as streetscape beautification and other improvements to public rightsof-way, sidewalks, and public open spaces. The Specific Plan outlines proposed urban design concepts that showcase the planned streetscape and community improvements within the Project area.

The Project aims to improve the accessibility, function, and aesthetic of the Highway 111 Corridor, providing a lasting community benefit. A guiding principle of the City of La Quinta’s General Plan is that it remains a resort-oriented community, which ensures maintenance and improvements of opportunities for La Quinta to be recognized as a top resort and recreation destination (City of La Quinta, 2022). As a resort destination, aesthetics are key and would be ideally improved upon with this proposed Project. Should the Project utilize the Moderate scenario, impacts on public scenic views would be less than significant as the existing aesthetic and scenery along the Highway 111 Corridor contains solely mixed commercial use parcels. The corridor has limited land uses other than commercial (i.e., residential, office, and hotel) as well as improved pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. The Moderate Scenario would also utilize lower density development, thus reducing potential impacts on scenic resources. Should the Project utilize the Max Scenario, impacts on scenic vistas may be slightly more than the Moderate Scenario as it would consist of greater density development and increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Nonetheless, impacts to public views and the surrounding environment would be less than significant.

Depending on the parcel/region of the Project area, the views of the Little San Bernardino, Santa Rosa, and San Jacinto mountains may differ. Views of these mountain ranges may be partially blocked/impeded by the new development along the corridor. The Municipal Code of the City includes standards for development to protect the aesthetic quality of the City, while providing reasonable opportunities for businesses and commercial development (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Project would comply with the City of La Quinta General Plan and Municipal Code as it relates to the surrounding aesthetic and sense of community. The Specific Plan aims to improve the look and feel of the Highway 111 Corridor by redeveloping big-box retail stores with a more livable and walkable multi-use community, as appropriate. In doing so, future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would better align with the principles of the City’s General Plan Open Space (OS) Goal OS-3: Preservation of scenic resources as vital contributors to the City’s economic health and overall quality of life (City of La Quinta, 2022). Although the redevelopment of the Highway 111 Corridor may result in changes to the current aesthetic of the region (e.g., big-box retail, large asphalt parking lots), impacts are anticipated to improve the function of the corridor and overall community quality of life. Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-3 b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact: The proposed Project area is the Highway 111 Corridor, which spans from approximately the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street on the west end to Jefferson Street on the east. This section of Highway 111 is not designated or eligible as a scenic resource by the California State Scenic Highway System.

According to Caltrans, the nearest eligible State Scenic Highway is 7.4 miles west of the Project area, along Highway 111 at the intersection of Monterey Avenue, Route 74, and Highway 111. From this point up until Interstate 10, Highway 111 is designated “Eligible” as a State Scenic Highway. Route 74 is an Officially Designated Scenic Highway in California. However, the proposed Project would not affect these Highways, or enter a State Scenic Highway, nor would it interfere with or substantially damage scenic resources or historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. As such, no impacts to scenic resources are anticipated.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public view of the site and its surroundings? (Public Views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? No Impact: The area surrounding Highway 111 relevant to the Specific Plan is already an urbanized environment. Proposed development scenarios do not conflict with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. In the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the Highway 111 Corridor is encouraged to become a mixed-use overlay district as defined in the City’s Municipal Code (City of La Quinta, 2024a). The purpose of a mixed-use (MU) area is to provide opportunities for multifamily residential development in combination with commercial and/or office development in a cohesive and integrated manner (City of La Quinta, 2024a). The Specific Plan would encourage and implement this and there is no conflict with applicable zoning and regulations governing scenic quality, therefore no impact.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Specific Plan area development is intended to transform the current landscape, dominated by big-box retail and expansive asphalt parking lots, into a vibrant, wellconnected urban space. This is designed to optimize land use by incorporating a diverse mix of upgraded retail options and dining, moving away from the one-dimensional shopping experience currently offered.

The proposed Specific Plan area development, while introducing new sources of daytime glare and nighttime illumination, is carefully designed to enhance views, rather than expand the amount of light pollution. This development strategy focuses on utilizing lighting technologies that are energy-efficient and/or designed to minimize unnecessary glare. Future development facilitated by the Specific Plan may include low-impact lighting fixtures and reflective surfaces that are designed to reduce brightness, which would enhance visual comfort and safety without contributing to light pollution. This approach ensures that lighting serves both functional and decorative purposes, enriching the City’s character at night and improving navigability and security for the community.

City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-4 Furthermore, future development would adhere to the policies and regulations outlined in the General Plan as well as the City Municipal Code. Policy LU-2.3 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan states that the City’s outdoor lighting ordinance would be maintained. Section 9.100.150, Outdoor Lighting of the City’s Municipal Code, states that its purpose is to set the standards for allowing adequate energy efficient lighting for public safety while minimizing adverse effects (City of La Quinta, 2022). Complying with the designated policies would require that new light sources introduced along the Highway 111 Corridor be appropriately shielded and directed away from open viewing spaces. This ensures that day and nighttime views are not negatively impacted by the presence of these lights. By complying with these guidelines, the potential impacts associated with light and glare can be minimized to a level that is deemed insignificant.

The project area is situated within a highly urbanized section of the City, devoid of agricultural or forest activities. Given its urban character, the area was not included in the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program's surveys (California DOC, 2022). This section of the City comprises several zoning districts, all of which exclude agricultural or forestry operations. The area is largely categorized as Urban and Built-Up Land. Agricultural activities are not proposed as part of the Specific Plan development. a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact: The area covered by the proposed Specific Plan is considered Urban and Built-up Land according to the California Department of Conservation (DOC), Important Farmland Finder (California DOC, 2024b). Urban and Built-Up land refers to areas that are covered by structures and buildings with a relatively high concentration. This is typically defined as having a building density of at least one (1) unit per one and a half (1.5) acres of land, or approximately six (6) structures for every ten (10) acre parcel (California DOC, 2024b). Prime Farmland is located adjacent to the Project area in two locations: northwest of the West Gateway area; and southeast of the Dune Palms and Jefferson South area (California DOC, 2022). Proposed development under this Specific Plan would not enter these Prime Farmland areas and both the West Gateway and the Dune Palms and Jefferson South areas are separated from Prime Farmland by Washington Street at the northwest portion of the Project area and by Jefferson Street at the 297 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Agriculture and Forest Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-6 southeast, respectfully. Furthermore, designated land uses within the Project area do not include agricultural uses and the Project implementation would not result in conversion of existing farmland to nonagricultural uses. Therefore, the Project does not affect an agricultural resource area and thus does not impact designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact: As per the City of La Quinta Municipal Zoning Code, the Project area outlined in this Specific Plan is not zoned for agricultural uses (City of La Quinta, 2024a). Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with any lands zoned for agriculture uses. Additionally, the Project area is not under a Williamson Act Contract; therefore, no impacts to Williamson Act contract lands are anticipated.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
No Impact: There are no anticipated changes to zoning of forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production under the proposed Specific Plan. No Impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact: The area covered under the Specific Plan does not contain forest land resources. Therefore, development under the proposed Specific Plan would not result in the loss of forest land. No impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact: The proposed developments outlined in the Specific Plan are designated to occur within the specified area along Highway 111, stretching from approximately Jefferson Street to Washington Street in La Quinta. These developments would not result in the conversion of any onsite or offsite farmland or forest land to non-agricultural or non-forest uses. As such, there would be no impact.

The Project area is located within the Coachella Valley planning area of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) and under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SSAB portion of Riverside County is currently designated as nonattainment for the federal and state ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM10. The Project area is designated as attainment or unclassified for all other federal and state ambient air quality standards.

As described in Section 1, Project Information, the Project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. Therefore, growth parameters, such as population and vehicle activity, are consistent with the General Plan and have been previously analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR. The following General Plan Air Quality policies and programs are applicable to and would be implemented by project:
• Policy AQ-1.3: Work to reduce emissions from mobile sources by encouraging a decrease in the number of vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled.
− Program AQ-1.3.b: Encourage public and private schools to establish alternative transportation programs for students.
− Program AQ-1.3.c: Adopt and implement a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance for businesses with 50 or more employees.
− Program AQ-1.3.d: Expand routes for golf carts and other neighborhood electric vehicles and plan for access and recharging facilities at retail, recreational, and community centers. − Program AQ-1.3.e: Expand pedestrian and bicycle routes and provide safe and convenient access to retail, recreational, and community centers.
− Program AQ-1.3.f: Facilitate mixed use development concepts in specific identified areas of the community to allow the combination of residential and non--‐residential uses, such as live--‐ work--‐shop designs, as described in the Land Use Element. − Program AQ-1.3.g: Where permitted by the Land Use plan, and where appropriate, encourage high density residential development within walking distance to commercial, educational and recreational opportunities.

Environmental Analysis – Air Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-8 • Policy AQ-1.4: Protect people and sites that are especially sensitive to airborne pollutants (sensitive receptors) from polluting point sources.
− Program AQ-1.4.a: Uses such as manufacturing, auto body shops, and other point source polluters should be reasonably separated from sensitive receptors. • Policy AQ-1.5: Ensure all construction activities minimize emissions of all air quality pollutants. − Program AQ-1.5.a: All grading and ground disturbance activities shall adhere to established fugitive dust criteria.
− Program AQ-1.5.b: Fugitive Dust Control Plans shall be reviewed and approved for development projects.
• Policy AQ-1.6: Proposed development air quality emissions of criteria pollutants shall be analyzed under CEQA.

The impact analysis in this section is based on understanding that the population and jobs growth anticipated under the Project is consistent with, and would not be in excess of, that anticipated by the City’s General Plan and as analyzed within the General Plan’s certified EIR. a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact: The SCAQMD has adopted multiple Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) to address state and federal ambient air quality standards. Current AQMPs include:
• 2016 AQMP. The 2016 AQMP addresses the multiple ozone and PM2.5 standards. • 2022 AQMP. The 2022 AQMP is focused on attaining the 2015 8-hour ozone standard. • 2023 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan.

According to the SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the purpose of the consistency finding is to determine if a project is inconsistent with the assumptions and objectives of the regional air quality plans, and if it would interfere with the region’s ability to comply with federal and state Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). Growth assumptions within the AQMP are based on growth assumptions and land use designations included within local general plans. The SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook contains the following two key indicators of consistency with the AQMP:

1. Whether the project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations or delay timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP.

2. If a project is consistent with the growth assumptions in the AQMP.

The first criterion is assessed in Impact c) below. As demonstrated in the analysis for Impact c), the Project’s potential to expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant concentrations (i.e., generate pollutant concentrations that would exceed an air quality standard) would be reduced to less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1. Therefore, the project is consistent with the first criterion.

Under the second criterion, the SCAQMD recommends that lead agencies demonstrate that a project would not directly obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan and that a project be consistent with the assumptions (typically land-use related, such as resultant employment or residential units) upon which the air quality plan is based. The project is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan, which was adopted in 2013, prior to the development of all the applicable AQMPs. The growth supported by development of the Project would be consistent with the applicable General Plan, and the current General Plan was adopted 300 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Air Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-9 prior to the current AQMP. Therefore, growth supported by the Project is accounted for in the AQMP. The project is less than significant under this criterion.

As demonstrated above, the project would be consistent with both analysis criteria and, therefore, would not conflict with the applicable AQMPs. The project would result in no impact.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
No Impact: As described above, the SSAB portion of Riverside County is currently designated as nonattainment for the federal and state ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM10.

The SCAQMD had adopted recommended air quality significance thresholds for project construction and operation; however, these thresholds are applicable to the project level. Plan-level documents, such as the proposed La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, where no specific development is identified or proposed and for which a construction schedule is not proposed, are not directly applicable to a plan-level action. The Project is consistent with the General Plan and the General Plan’s certified EIR. As described in Impact a) above, the growth assumptions in the General Plan are accounted for in the applicable AQMPs.

The AQMPs demonstrate the path to attainment of the relevant air quality attainment standards. As the Project is consistent with the General Plan, and the General Plan growth assumptions are incorporated in and accounted for in the AQMPs, the growth that would occur within the Specific Plan area would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is nonattainment.

This Specific Plan would provide a comprehensive development approach for Highway 111 focused on public connectivity, mixed-use development, and enhanced transportation options. This Specific Plan includes introduction of mixed-use development, integration of pedestrian-friendly pathways and dedicated bike lanes, and other improvements to connectivity and accessibility. The project impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Sensitive receptors are defined as facilities or land uses that include members of the population that are particularly sensitive to the effects of air pollutants, such as children, the elderly, and people with illnesses. Examples of these sensitive receptors are residences, schools, hospitals, and daycare centers. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has identified the following groups of individuals as the most likely to be affected by air pollution: the elderly over 65, children under 14, athletes, and persons with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis.

Sensitive receptors near the area include the residences north, east, south, and west of the Project. Amelia Earhart Elementary and John Glenn Middle School are adjacent to each other, about 1.5 miles north of the proposed Project area, while La Quinta High School is located north of the Project area along the Whitewater River. Additionally, James Madison Elementary School is located about 1.6 miles northeast of the Specific Plan area.

Environmental Analysis – Air Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-10 Localized Significance Thresholds
Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards’ Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (I-4). The SCAQMD provided the Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology (dated June 2003 [revised 2008]) for guidance (SCAQMD, 2008). The LST methodology assists lead agencies in analyzing localized air quality impacts. The SCAQMD provides the LST screening lookup tables for one, two, and 5-acre sites for the following pollutants: CO, NOX, PM2.5, and PM10. The LST methodology and associated mass rates are not designed to evaluate localized impacts from mobile sources traveling over the roadways. The SCAQMD recommends that any project over 5 acres should perform air quality dispersion modeling to assess impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. The Project is located within Sensitive Receptor Area (SRA) 30, CV.

The SCAQMD LST methodology provides two approaches for performing the LST analysis. For projects of 5 acres or less where emissions would occur, the SCAQMD has developed a series of look up tables that provide estimates of daily construction or operational emissions above which a project’s emissions are determined to have a significant air quality impact. These emission LSTs are provided for each combination of pollutants (CO, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5), SRA, size of the project emission area, and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. For projects where emissions occur over an area larger than 5 acres, the localized significance impacts for construction and operation emissions can be derived by either applying the LSTs for a 5-acre area, or by performing air dispersion modeling. Thus, the primary determinants for the LST assessment, therefore, are the SRA where the project is located, the size of the emission area, and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor.

The Specific Plan is a guidance-level document and does not include site-specific development plans.

Mitigation Measure AIR-1 is proposed to reduce the potential impact of future development to less than significant. With implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1, future development supported by the Specific Plan would not generate a significant localized impact.

Mitigation Measures: AIR-1.
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact: The SCAQMD recommends that odor impacts be addressed in a qualitative manner. Such an analysis shall determine whether the project would result in excessive nuisance odors, as defined under the California Code of Regulations and Section 41700 of the California Health and Safety Code and thus would constitute a public nuisance related to air quality.

Land uses typically considered associated with odors include wastewater treatment facilities, wastedisposal facilities, or agricultural operations. The Specific Plan area would not contain land uses typically associated with emitting objectionable odors. Future development supported by the Project would involve the use of diesel construction equipment and diesel trucks during construction. However, the Project area has a predominance of commercial land uses and emissions from trucks are common throughout the project vicinity. In addition, project-generated emissions would rapidly disperse in the atmosphere and would not be noticeable to the nearby public. Therefore, the project would not generate a significant odor impact during construction or operation.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

The potential for sensitive biological resources to occur (federally or state listed or state special status plants and wildlife, Sensitive Natural Communities (SNCs), and wetlands) were evaluated within the areas planned for development within the Project area, as well as a 100-foot buffer around the Project area for potential wildlife impacts. The Project area comprises seven DSAs, as outlined in Table 1.1 and Figure 1-2, which are planned to be developed with various focuses in mind and differ among each distinct area.

The following information is based on the Biological Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum (Appendix B) that was prepared in support of the proposed La Quinta Highway 111 Specific Plan. The technical memorandum documents the results of a site visit conducted on February 4, 2023 that covered the Project area and the 100-foot buffer. The following information is also based on the results of two protocol-level floristic surveys that were conducted separately on April 26 through April 27, 2023, and October 24, 2023 in one area of the Project, encompassing a 15-acre parcel embedded within the ADN DSA (Figure 1-2), and documented in a separate Botanical Technical Memorandum (Appendix B). 304 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-13 The Project area with 100-foot wildlife buffer is located entirely within the City of La Quinta. Land cover is primarily classified as developed, interspersed with shrub/scrub (USGS, 2016). The 100-foot wildlife buffer extends into the Whitewater River Watershed. The Project area is bordered by the Whitewater River to the north and is bisected by Highway 111. The landscape surrounding the Project area is highly urbanized and developed, with high amounts of vehicular traffic.

There are seven areas planned for development with various focuses ( Table 1.1; Figure 1-2). Depending on the parcel/region proposed for development within the Project area, there are two scenarios that are being assessed: a Moderate Scenario, which would utilize lower density development, and a Max Scenario, which would utilize higher density development. In all cases of potential impact, the “high” scenario would consist of increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic, which may result in slightly higher impacts to potential sensitive resources in those areas. The areas planned for development are surrounded by commercial businesses, residential areas, and roadways. A few areas planned for development within ADN, DJN, and DJS contain variable extents of natural habitat (Figure 1-2 through Figure 1-4). The DJS area contains only marginally suitable habitat features due to the limited extent of land and closer proximity to commercial buildings and roads. The other areas planned for development within WAN, ADS, and WAS have been graded or altered from their natural state and generally have less potential to support sensitive biological resources.

Although the Project area is within a developed landscape, there are shrubs and dune habitat within select areas (WG, ADN, DJN, and DJS) that may support special status species and do support common species.

Within the more natural areas, small mammal burrows were observed within the Project area, which can be used by other taxa such as birds and reptiles. The Project area and 100-foot wildlife buffer also supports common avian species protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (FGC). A brief summary of each area planned for development is included below, oriented from west to east, and north to south.

3.4.1 West Gateway
The WG Development Area has minimal trees and shrubs, with limited vegetation overall. It includes Point Happy, an undeveloped elevated area (183 feet) bordered by Highway 111 to the south, Whitewater River to the north, and businesses and restaurants to the east and west. While special status species are not expected, nesting birds may be present.

3.4.2 Washington and Adams North
The areas proposed for development within the WAN Development Area have no trees or shrubs present.

They have limited vegetation within them and are surrounded by commercial businesses and concrete parking lots. Special status species are not expected to occur here.

3.4.3 Washington and Adams South
The areas proposed for development within the WAS Development Area are clustered at the southern edge bordering Avenue 47. These areas consist of a movie theatre and paved parking lot bordered by a small margin of open space that has already been graded and has fences around it. There are trees along the edges of the areas proposed for development, and roads. Special status species are not expected to occur here, but nesting birds may occur.

3.4.4 Adams and Dune Palms North
The area proposed for development within the ADN Development Area is a 15-acre parcel that contains natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as 305 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-14 nesting birds. Trees and shrubs are present. A separate report for this area has been prepared by GHD (Appendix B). The parcel is bordered by commercial development and concrete parking lots.

3.4.5 Adams and Dune Palms South
The areas proposed for development within the ADS Development Area are clustered at the southwest corner and bordered by two major roads, with a discrete and disjointed area at the east edge within an already paved parking lot and also bordered by a major road. The areas proposed for development are already graded, and there are trees and shrubs present along the edges and roads, some or all planted.

Special status species are not expected to occur here, but nesting birds may occur.

3.4.6 Dune Palms and Jefferson North
The area proposed for development within the DJN Development Area is at the westernmost edge, and contains natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as nesting birds.

3.4.7 Dune Palms and Jefferson South
The area proposed for development within the DJS Development Area is at the northern edge and bordered by Highway 111. This area is already paved on the east side. It contains marginal amounts of natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as nesting birds.

Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the protocol-level site visit of the ADN Development Area (Figure 1-2), and the reconnaissance-level site visit of the entire Project area, special status plants do not have potential to occur in areas of the Project that are proposed for development. No special status plants or SNCs were observed during surveys of the ADN Development Area or within the greater Project area. Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the reconnaissance-level site visit of the entire Project area, special status wildlife species have a potential to occur. The Project area is bordered to the north by the channelized Whitewater River. No flowing water and minimal moisture within the riverbed was observed. In addition, there is the Deep Canyon Stormwater Channel that bisects a small portion of the northwest corner of the Project area. No impacts to jurisdictional wetlands or waters, or SNCs, are expected.
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Special-status Plant Species
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The database scoping detailed in the botanical technical memorandum (Appendix B) produced a total of 66 plant species known to occur in the nine USGS quads within and surrounding the Project area. Based on species-specific habitat requirements and habitat availability within the Project area, three species were determined to have a low potential to occur, and seven to have a moderate potential to occur (Table 3.1) based on the results of database scoping.

The majority of areas planned for development in the Project area are already developed and do not have potential for any special status plant species to occur. Three parcels in the Project area are undeveloped, retain natural habitat, and have potential for special status plants to occur: ADN, DJN, and DJS; however, 306 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-15 no special status plant species were observed during protocol-level surveys of the ADN Development Area in May and October of 2023, or in the reconnaissance survey of the entire Project area.

Desert plant communities can be ephemeral in nature given the variable precipitation of any given year and species adaptations to this variability is resource availability. While the potential for sensitive plant species to be present in the undeveloped spaces of the Project area is generally low, the suitability of these sites to host sensitive species in subsequent years may change. With incorporation of Measure BIO-1 and BIO-2, the Project would have a less than significant impact on special status plant species.

Special-status Wildlife Species
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The database scoping detailed in the biological resources technical memorandum (Appendix B) returned a total of 87 species (Table 3.2). The potential for sensitive wildlife species to occur was determined based on existing data and the reconnaissance level site visit (Appendix B). Special status species are federally and/or state listed, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Species of Special Concern, CDFW Fully Protected, on the CDFW Special Animals List, or any combination of these.

The majority of areas planned for development within the Project area (within WAN, WAS, and ADS Development Areas) are developed and do not have potential for any special status wildlife species to occur. However, common and urban adapted bird species protected by the FGC and MBTA may occur if structures are present, or nesting features (such as shrubs and trees) are present within or adjacent to the areas. Based on the reconnaissance-level site visit on February 4, 2023 and review of existing data, the ADN, DJN, and DJS areas within the Project area may provide suitable habitat for special status wildlife species and do support common species protected by the MBTA and FGC. However, habitat within DJS is less suitable than the other two areas. The areas within the WAN, WAS, and ADS may also support common and urban adapted bird species protected by the MBTA and FGC.

Three areas planned for development within the Project area contain discrete areas that are undeveloped, retain natural habitat, and have potential for special status wildlife to occur, in addition to common bird species protected by the FGC and MBTA: ADN, DJN, and DJS, for which the following species may occur:
• The Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel (Xerospermophilus tereticaudus chlorusa; CDFW Species of Special Concern) has a moderate potential to occur at all three Development Areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS).
• The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia; CDFW Species of Special Concern) has a moderate potential to occur within ADN.
• The Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma inornata; federally threatened and state endangered) is a reptile species with a moderate potential to occur within ADN Development Area. • Flat-tailed Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii; CDFW Species of Special Concern) is a reptile species with a moderate potential to occur within ADN and DJN. • Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket (Macrobaenetes valgum; CDFW Special Animals List) is an insect with a moderate potential to occur at ADN and DJN. • The Costa’s Hummingbird (Calypte costae; CDFW Special Animals List), Abert’s Towee (Pipilo aberti; CDFW Special Animals List), Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii; CDWF Watch List), and Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus obscurus; CDFW Species of Special Concern) have a moderate potential to occur at all three Development Areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS). • The Black-tailed Gnatcatcher (Polioptila melanura; CDFW Watch List) has a moderate potential to occur at ADN and DJN.
307 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-16 • The Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel, Burrowing Owl, Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, and Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket are species covered by the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP). The Burrowing Owl is a covered species under the CVMSHCP but is afforded additional protections under FGC and the MBTA and would require additional minimization measures. According to the CVMSHCP, authorization of take for all species with a moderate potential to occur, except the six bird species, can be obtained through compliance with the CVMSHCP and the Local Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF) paid to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC, 2023).

All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the Habitat Conservation Plan’s (HCP’s) jurisdiction (CVMSHCP, 2016). Assuming there would be compliance with the CVMSHCP and with incorporation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 through BIO-5, potential impact to the five species covered by the CVMSHCP would be less than significant.

Based on existing habitat and available data, certain areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS) may support special status species and do support common species. Though, the area in DJS contains less suitable habitat and extent than the other two areas. The entire Project area may support migratory and nesting birds.

With inclusion of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5 impacts to special status wildlife species, including native, migratory, and nesting birds not covered by the CVMSHCP, would be less than significant.

The Project area does not overlap any federally designated critical habitat (USFWS, 2023a). No impact would result.

With implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5 impacts to protected wildlife species would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5. b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: A query of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (CDFW, 2023a) returned multiple locations of Desert Fan Palm Oasis Woodland (Washingtonia filifera) SNC (G3, S3.2) in the nine quads surrounding the Project area; however, the nearest Desert Fan Palm Oasis to the Project area is over five miles to the northeast. No native fan palms are present in the Project area. The undeveloped portions of the Project area are vegetated by Creosote Bush Scrub (Larrea tridentata), a natural community that is not considered sensitive by CDFW (G5, S5). The Project would not impact any SNCs, as none are present.

A small portion of DPJ Development Area is mapped as “stabilized shielded desert sand fields” per the CVMSHCP’s natural community characterization and mapping (CVCC, 2024); however, this area is not within a designated conservation area and, therefore, is not an identified priority area for conservation per Section 10.2.6 of the CVMSHCP (CVMSHCP, 2016). The Project would not impact natural communities identified for conservation as described in the CVMSHCP.

The Whitewater River borders the northern edge of the Project area; however, the river has been channelized, and the banks are cemented at the upslope edge. There was no riparian vegetation observed along the length of the corridor within the Project area. This Specific Plan is not expected to affect riparian 308 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-17 habitat or other sensitive natural communities, as it is a planning-level document. However, future development in the Highway 111 corridor could potentially impact the flow or banks of the nearby Whitewater River. Consequently, future projects should incorporate Mitigation Measure BIO-6 to minimize potential impacts on the natural flow of streams or rivers.

Mitigation Measures: BIO-6.
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact: No wetlands are documented in the Project area based on database searches (National Wetlands Inventory [NWI]) (USFWS, 2023b), and none were observed in the Project area at the time of surveys.

The Whitewater River is along northern border of the Project area. The section of river adjacent to a majority of the Project area is classified as either a riverine intermittent streambed that is intermittently flooded or a riverine unknown perennial with unconsolidated bottom that is semi-permanently flooded (USFWS, 2023b). There is a small section of the Whitewater River that is within the Project area within the DJN Development Area, but the river is also channelized in this section, with steep, bare slopes and intermittently ponded water (not flowing). The Project is not expected to have an impact on state or federally protected wetlands.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
No Impact: Wildlife corridors refer to established migration routes commonly used by resident and migratory species for passage from one geographic location to another. Maintaining the continuity of established wildlife corridors is important to: a) sustain species with specific foraging requirements, b) preserve a species’ distribution potential, and c) retain diversity among many wildlife populations.

The Project is approximately seven miles from the nearest “essential connectivity area” and one mile from a “natural landscape block” and “small natural landscape area” identified by the California Habitat Connectivity Project (CDFW, 2023c). The Project area is surrounded by existing development, Highway 111, and the highly modified Whitewater River. Habitat in the Project area is highly fragmented. No new barriers to terrestrial wildlife movement would result from the Project, and the Project would not substantially interfere with migratory birds, bats, or other species. Due to the level of development existing surrounding the Project area, there would be no impact to the habitat access, connectivity, or migratory corridors of wildlife species.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Highway 111 Specific Plan does not include any site-specific designs or proposals, nor does it grant any entitlements for development that would have the potential to conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. The City of La Quinta 2035 General 309 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-18 Plan (City of La Quinta, 2022) addresses natural resources within the City limits through its Biological Resources Element. The goals, policies, and programs within this Element address the preservation of valuable habitat and species which occur in the City and align with federal, state, and regional efforts toward preservation. The City does not have an adopted tree ordinance.

Future development proposed to implement the Specific Plan would be required to comply with all applicable policies included in the General Plan. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs) are site-specific plans to address effects on sensitive species of plants and animals. The Project area is within the CVMSHCP (CVMSHCP, 2016), which is an HCP and NCCP implemented by the CVCC (CDFW, 2023b; CVCC, 2023). The City of La Quinta has been a participant in the CVMSHCP since 1996. If the project qualifies, the signatories to the CVMSHCP are able to obtain coverage for incidental take for the 21 wildlife and plant species that the CVMSHCP covers (CVCC, 2023).

The proposed Project area is urbanized and highly developed and is not located within any CVMSHCP identified Conservation Areas; however, the westernmost extent of the Project area is less than one mile east of a portion of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area boundary (CVCC, 2024).

The plant species covered by the CVMSHP include the Coachella Valley milkvetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae), triple-ribbed milkvetch (Astragalus tricarinatus), Little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus maculatus), Mecca aster (Xylorhiza cognata), and Orocopia sage (Salvia greatae). None of these species have potential to occur in the Project area due to a lack of suitable habitat or a suitable elevational range.

Wildlife species covered by the CVMSHCP that have a moderate potential to occur include Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel, Burrowing Owl, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, Coachella Valley Fringe-tailed Lizard, and the Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket (CDFW, 2023b).

With implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-7, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP/NCCP and, therefore, would have a less than significant impact.

Mitigation Measures: BIO-7.

Biological Resources Mitigation Measures
• BIO-1: Assessment of Biological Resources and Worker Environmental Awareness Training
Prior to Project construction activities for all projects covered in this IS/MND, a complete and recent inventory of rare, threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species located within the Project footprint and within offsite areas with the potential to be affected, including California Species of Special Concern and California Fully Protected Species (Fish and Game Code § 3511), will be completed. Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the 310 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-19 sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species-specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during periods of drought.

An environmental training program should be developed and presented by a qualified biologist to all crew members prior to the beginning of all Project construction in natural areas planned for development. The training should describe special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive habitats that could occur within the Project area, protection afforded to these species and habitats, and avoidance and minimization measures required to avoid and/or minimize impacts from the project.

All new construction personnel should receive this training before beginning work on this Project. A copy of the training and training materials should be provided to construction crews for review and approval at least 30 days prior to the start of construction. As needed, in-field training should be provided to new on-site construction personnel by the qualified biologist or a qualified individual who should be identified by the qualified biologist, or initial training should be recorded and replayed for new personnel.
• BIO-2: General Measures for Plants and Wildlife
When working in the natural habitat areas, the number of access routes, number and size of staging areas, and the total area of the activity should be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the project goal. Routes and boundaries outside of normal access roads should be clearly delineated through fencing or flagging.

Food, trash, and other solid wastes should be disposed of in Common Raven proof/wildlife proof, covered refuse containers and regularly removed from the various structures and facilities on a daily basis to avoid offsite dispersal of waste and to avoid attracting wildlife onto the Project site.

Following covered activity work, all trash and debris should be removed from the work area.

Construction work should avoid direct destruction of burrows through chaining (dragging a heavy chain over an area to remove shrubs), disking, cultivation, and urban, industrial, or agricultural development.

Project-related excavations greater than 6 inches deep should be secured to prevent wildlife entry and entrapment. Holes and trenches should be back-filled, securely covered, or fenced. Excavations that cannot be fully secured should incorporate appropriate wildlife ramp(s) at a slope of no more than a 3:1 ratio (horizontal: vertical, equivalent to a 33.3 percent or 18.4-degree slope), or other means to allow trapped animals to escape.

Personnel on site should be required to check under their vehicles for sensitive species prior to moving them and should exercise caution while driving on the Project site.

Before moving, burying, or capping, inspect for wildlife in any construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures that are stored on the site for one or more nights. Alternatively, cap structures before storing on the work site.

Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-20 • BIO-3: Special Status and Migratory Birds
Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct and or indirect effects to protected nesting birds. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 100 feet for passerines and 300 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored at least once a week or as needed by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. • BIO-4: Burrowing Owl Habitat Assessment and Focused and Pre-Construction Surveys No less than 60 days prior to the start of Project-related activities for all projects covered in the MND, a burrowing owl habitat assessment shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the specifications of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Department of Fish and Game, March 2012 or most recent version) for all projects covered under the MND.

If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate California Endangered Species Act (CESA) authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities.

Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist 312 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-21 shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. • BIO-5: Artificial Light Impacts
Throughout construction and the lifetime operation of all projects covered in the IS/MND the City and Project proponents shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/). The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler.
• BIO-6: CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Program Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the Project Sponsor shall obtain written correspondence from CDFW stating that notification under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code is not required for the Project, or the Project Sponsor should obtain a CDFW-executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, authorizing impacts to Fish and Game Code Section 1602 resources associated with the Project.
• BIO-7: Project Adherence to the CVMSHCP
All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the HCP’s jurisdiction (CVMSHCP, 2016).

The Project is outside of a designated Conservation Area, and a Joint Review Project is not required. However, the LDMF to the CVCC is required for development projects. Submission of the LDMF to the CVCC is recommended before building or grading permits are submitted.

Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit for all projects covered in the IS/MND, the City shall ensure compliance with the CVMSHCP and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission.

Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities, for all project areas covered in the IS/MND that contain suitable habitat for sand-dependent Covered Species, the City will collaborate with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission to plan and implement a salvage of sanddependent Covered Species within the Project site. 313 Return to Agenda Link

Historic Overview
La Quinta is nestled amidst the Santa Rosa Mountains and is situated on the base of the CV. Achieving City status on May 1, 1982, La Quinta has witnessed continuous development, particularly along the Highway 111 Corridor, fueled by a steadily increasing population that peaks during the winter season (City of La Quinta, 2024b). La Quinta is within the ancestral lands of the Desert Cahuilla Indians, who have resided in the Coachella Valley since immemorial, including areas such as the Martinez Canyon area of the CV and what is known today as Point Happy. The Desert Cahuilla Indians were hunter and gatherers and one of the few Native American Tribes to dig wells. The area held significant importance for the Cahuilla people due to its role as a vital access point to water sources, including the Whitewater River. Notably, within a distance of less than 300 yards from Point Happy, a well was excavated. This well later lent its name to the present-day City of Indian Wells (City of La Quinta, 2024b; SCTCA, 2024).

For centuries, the Cahuilla people were the sole inhabitants of the CV, maintaining a permanent presence.

It wasn't until the early 19th century that Europeans started journeying through the valley. Spanish, and later Mexican explorers, soldiers, and missionaries arrived with the sole aim of swiftly crossing the challenging desert terrain (La Quinta Historical Society, 2017).

Record Search
This analysis is based on a cultural records investigation conducted at the California Historical Resources Inventory System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) located at the University of California, Riverside. The examination of records took place on January 22, 2024, encompassing a review of maps, records, and reports from the EIC pertaining to the Project area. The assessment involved a review of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1959 La Quinta 7.5 minute series quadrangle map, 1941 Toro Peak 15 minutes series, and 1959 Palm Desert 15 minute series topographic map to assess the Project site. In addition, the California Points of Historical Interest, California Historical Landmarks, California Register of Historic Places, National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California State Historic Resources Inventory, and historic topographic maps were reviewed.

The findings revealed that there have been 92 studies on cultural resources conducted within the approximately 410 acres of the proposed Project area. A total of 56 cultural resource properties are documented within the Project area boundaries. According to the NRHP, there are no listed properties located within the bounds of the Project area. Per results from the California Office of Historic 343 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-52 Preservation’s (OHP’s) Archaeological Resources Directory (ARD), there is one property that is listed as considered eligible for listing on the NRHP (P-33-001178 [CA-RIV-001178] La Quinta Evac. CH. AD).

According to the CHRIS records search, California OHP Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) indicates that two properties are listed as historically significant by local government (P-33-007263, PT.

Happy Ranch and P-33-023955, PT. Happy Ranch) located at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. The term “Happy Ranch” is in reference to Point Happy, which is described above. The West Gateway area includes Point Happy, which is an undeveloped elevated area (183 feet in elevation) bordered by Highway 111 to the south, Whitewater River to the north, and restaurants and businesses to the east and west. Point Happy is linked to nearby culturally and historically significant resources. Any forthcoming development within the West Gateway area should consider Point Happy. It is advisable to consult a cultural resources expert before engaging in any ground-disturbing activities near this site.

A previous study identified two prehistoric resources (P-33-008692/CA-RIV-006190, P-33-002936/CA-RIV002936) within the Project area, near the intersection of Dune Palms Road and Highway 111. P-33- 008692/CA-RIV-006190 consists of a 230 meter (east/west) by 170 meter (north/south) prehistoric-era resource with the three large and three small loci comprised of ceramics, burned bone, lithic debitage, burned clay, and fire-affected rock. P-33-002936/CA-RIV-002936 consists of a 150 meter (north/south) by 60 meter (east/west) prehistoric-era resource comprised of ceramics, fire-affected rock, semi-fired clay, animal bone, and shell fragments (Hallock et al., 2023).

Given the extensive amount of documented cultural resources within the Project area, it is conceivable that yet-to-be-discovered cultural resources exist. However, it is important to note that the densely developed environment and established infrastructure of the Project area may mitigate the probability of encountering such unrecorded cultural resources. Since this Specific Plan serves as a guide for future development along the corridor, forthcoming development endeavors within the Project area should undergo thorough assessment by a cultural resource expert to evaluate any historical, archaeological, or cultural heritage resources that have not been recorded and to offer suggestions regarding their importance and appropriate management before any ground-disturbing activities commence. Individuals engaged in future development along the Highway 111 Corridor are urged to recognize and respect the significance and irreplaceable value of cultural resources. For assistance, a comprehensive list of cultural resource consultants statewide can be accessed online at http://chrisinfo.org. Refer to Appendix C: Cultural Resources for the non-confidential cultural records search report.

Sacred Lands File Search
The following analysis is based on a Sacred Lands File (SLF) record search by the NAHC received on March 8, 2024. The results of the search were negative, meaning that no specific site information was found in the SLF search. However, it is important to note that the absence of such information in the SLF does not necessarily indicate the absence of cultural resources within the Project area. The letter from NAHC along with a list of Native American Tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources in the Project area is provided in Appendix C: Cultural Resources. a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5?
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: A non-confidential CHRIS records request was conducted by EIC to determine the presence of culturally and historically significant resources within and near the Project area.

Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-53 Corridor. Two historically significant properties were identified in the CHRIS records search, both being Point Happy Ranch, which is located at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. Although this is within the Project limits, potential impacts to historic resources would be mitigated through the implementation of Cultural Resource mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9.

The designated Project site was not identified as Sacred Land based on the examination conducted by NAHC. However, as acknowledged previously, the absence of specific information about cultural resources in the SLF does not necessarily imply the absence of such resources in the Project area. Before development activities commence, it is necessary for a cultural resource expert to conduct a survey to ascertain the existence or non-existence of culturally significant resources. Additionally, it is important to coordinate with local Native American Tribes in the vicinity. Employing cultural resource mitigation measures (CR-1 through CR-9) would aid in minimizing potential impacts on significant cultural and historical resources that might be found within or close to the Project boundaries.

Furthermore, the Highway 111 Corridor is not designated on the NRHP, and it is advisable to conduct a cultural resource study before initiating any development activities within the Project area. In the event that archaeological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, the construction contractor would implement mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9. The use of appropriate mitigation efforts would help reduce potential impacts on historic and cultural resources to a less then significant level.

Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5?
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Results from the non-confidential CHRIS records request demonstrate that there are no recorded archaeological resources within the Project area.

This Specific Plan is a regulatory and policy document with the intention to guide development along the Highway 111 Corridor. No development is proposed as part of this Specific Plan and, therefore, the Project would not impact any unknown archaeological resources. This Specific Plan enables future projects to use this impact analysis for environmental assessments. Although this programmatic CEQA analysis offers a general overview, it may not cover all specific project impacts. Future developments may require sitespecific archaeological surveys and reports to assess and mitigate impacts on significant archaeological resources, as outlined in mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9.

Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9.
c) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The Project area consists of previously developed land; thus it is unlikely for human remains to be exposed during any future construction activities.

Nonetheless, future development and ground excavations would be closely monitored to ensure the identification of any previously undiscovered remains. Given that the proposed Specific Plan serves as a regulatory and policy document with no current development plans, there is no immediate impact on any unidentified human remains within the Project area. However, if such remains are encountered during future development, implementation of mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9 would provide appropriate instruction on the treatment of any human remains discovered during construction to reduce potential impacts to cultural and historic resources.

Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9.

Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-54 Cultural Resources Mitigation Measures
Implementation of mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9 would reduce potential impacts to a less-thansignificant level during future construction activities. Appropriate pre-construction training and a data recovery plan (if needed) would be implemented to address potential discovery of unanticipated archaeological resources and to preserve and/or record those resources consistent with appropriate laws and requirements. Proposed mitigation measures for future development are outlined below. • CR-1: Workers Environmental Awareness Program
A Qualified Archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS, 1983) shall conduct Workers Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training on archaeological sensitivity for all construction personnel prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find. The WEAP training document shall include materials that convey the information noted above, which shall be maintained in an area accessible to all construction personnel so that it may be reviewed regularly by construction staff. • CR-2: Pre-Excavation Agreement
Prior to the issuance of Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner shall enter into a pre-excavation agreement, otherwise known as a Tribal Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement with consulting Tribal Monitor associated within the area. A copy of the agreement shall be included in building and development plans and permit applications with the City. The purpose of this agreement shall be to formalize protocols and procedures between the Applicant/Owner and the consulting Tribal Monitor associated with the area for the protection and treatment of, including but not limited to, Native American human remains, funerary objects, cultural and religious landscapes, ceremonial items, and traditional gathering areas and tribal cultural resources located and/or discovered through a monitoring program in conjunction with the construction of the proposed project, including additional archaeological surveys and/or studies, excavations, geotechnical investigations, grading, and all other ground disturbing activities. At the discretion of the consulting Tribal Monitor, artifacts may be made available for 3D scanning/printing, with scanned/printed materials to be curated at a local repository meeting the federal standards of 36CFR79. • CR-3: Retention of Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor shall provide executed contracts or agreements with a Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor, at the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor’s expense, to implement the monitoring program, as described in the pre-excavation agreement.
• CR-4: Tribal Cultural Monitor Coordination During Ground Disturbing Activities The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall attend all applicable pre-construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources.
346 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-55 • CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure
To detect important archaeological artifacts and cultural resources during monitoring, a "Controlled Grade Procedure" must be created by a Qualified Archaeologist. This will be done in consultation with the consulting Tribal Monitor, relevant consulting Tribes, and the Applicant/Owner, and needs approval from City representatives. The procedure will set guidelines for machinery work in sensitive areas identified during cultural resource monitoring. It will cover aspects like operating speed, removal increments, weight, and equipment features. A copy of this procedure must be included in the Grading Plan submissions for Grading Permits.
• CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources
The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor can stop ground-disturbing activities if undiscovered tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor can assess the context of the find, including its significance, potential eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and whether the project would have a direct impact on the resource.

If buried cultural deposits are encountered, the Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a Qualified Archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation.

Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site.

Minor finds include archaeological materials that are isolated, lack context, and are unlikely to indicate a larger or significant site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially significant, the involved Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well.

For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal values. The Tribal Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not collect the resources, the Tribal Monitor may do so. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. • CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources
The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources unearthed during all ground disturbing activities, and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on-site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial and/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation.
• CR-8: Tribal Cultural Monitoring Report
A monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the archaeological monitoring program (e.g., data recovery plan) shall be submitted by the Qualified Archaeologist, along with the consulting Tribal Monitor’s notes and comments, to the City of La Quinta Planning Division for approval. 347 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-56 • CR-9: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains
As specified by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found on the Project site during construction or during archaeological work, the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately notify the Riverside County Coroner’s Office by telephone. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the Coroner Medical Examiner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code 5097.98. If such a discovery occurs, a temporary construction exclusion zone shall be established surrounding the area of the discovery so that the area would be protected, and consultation and treatment could occur as prescribed by law. If suspected Native American remains are discovered, the remains shall be kept in-situ, or in a secure location in close proximity to where they were found, and the analysis of the remains shall only occur on-site in the presence of a Tribal Monitor. By law, the Coroner Medical Examiner shall determine within two working days of being notified if the remains are subject to his or her authority. If the Coroner Medical Examiner identifies the remains to be of Native American ancestry, he or she shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The NAHC shall make a determination as to the Most Likely Descendent. If human remains are discovered, notify the consulting Tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. 348 Return to Agenda Link

Electricity in the City is provided by the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), which provides power to eastern CV and Imperial County. IID derives over 60% of its power from various facilities, notably the Coachella Gas Turbine facility in Coachella. Its transmission network encompasses the innovative Green Path system, transmitting geothermal energy harnessed in Imperial County. Diversifying its portfolio, IID is committed to achieving a minimum of 45% of its electricity from alternative sources like geothermal, solar, and wind energy by 2027 (City of La Quinta, 2022; IID, 2024).
a) Result in potentially significant environmental impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant: Future enhancements along the Highway 111 Corridor would prioritize efficient energy use and resource consumption. The proposed improvements under the Specific Plan would necessitate collaboration with IID to assess their capacity to support and sustain future developments in the corridor. Potential future developments along Highway 111 have the potential to increase the electrical demands on IID's systems. Developers planning future projects would need to apply for electrical service with IID, which would conduct evaluations of project design engineering and estimate costs associated with potential increases in energy demand. Information required by IID includes detailed loading and panel size specifications to assist in determining the requirements for supplying permanent power to improvements within the Specific Plan area. Additionally, all development activities within the Specific Plan area must undergo review and approval by the City, adhering to applicable local, state, and federal laws as well as aligning with the City’s General Plan and this Specific Plan. Given that this Specific Plan serves as a highlevel guide for the redevelopment of the Highway 111 Corridor, no site-specific electrical development plans or proposals are included or granted within it. Consequently, impacts on critical energy resources are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? No Impact: Senate Bill 100 (SB 100), passed in September 2018, aims to speed up the State's Renewable Portfolio Standards Program. This involves directing electricity providers to increase their sourcing from eligible renewable energy sources to 100 percent of their total retail sales by 2045. The proposed project intends to use the current IID electricity grid. All construction facilitated by the proposed Project must adhere to Title 24 standards and current building codes. Importantly, the Project aligns with the state plan for renewable energy and does not pose any new impacts beyond what was anticipated and evaluated 349 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Energy Resources
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-58 under the Specific Plan. The Energy Element and Mineral Resource Element of the General Plan highlight two policies along with their corresponding programs related to sustainable energy use, as detailed below (City of La Quinta, 2022):
• Policy EM 1.1: Strongly encourages conservation of energy resources. − Program EM 1.1a: Review and amend, as appropriate, Zoning Ordinance procedures and standards to include site orientation, solar control and use of passive heating and cooling techniques.
• Policy EM 1.2: Supports the use of alternative energy and the conversion of traditional energy sources to alternative energy.
− Program EM1.2a: Encourage installation of alternative energy devices on new and existing development. Programs may include City-funded incentive programs; matching fund programs with IID, The Gas Company and alternative energy providers, as well as other programs as they become available.
− Program EM1.2b: As funding and applicability allows, incorporate Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), hybrid or electric vehicles into the City fleet as vehicles are replaced, with a target to complete the conversion by 2035.
− Program EM1.2c: Continue participation in the Sunline Transit Agency, and promote the use of alternative fuel technologies for its buses.
− Program EM1.2d: As appropriate, incorporate LED or other energy-efficient lighting in signals and lights throughout the City.
− Program EM1.2e: Explore opportunities to provide a CNG and other alternate fueling station in the City.
− Program EM1.2f: Implement, as appropriate, energy efficient improvements in City buildings and facilities using Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant or similar funds.

The proposed Specific Plan would align with the energy policies outlined in the City’s General Plan by promoting sustainable and energy-efficient development along the Highway 111 Corridor. This approach would facilitate better planning and adaptability for the corridor as development advances and the population expands. As such, no impacts are anticipated.

Geologic Setting
The natural landscape of the City exhibits significant variation, with elevations ranging from 130 feet below sea level to over 1,700 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Predominantly situated in a valley, the City experiences hot, arid summers and relatively mild winters. This climate influences the composition of soils. La Quinta contains predominantly sandy, well-drained soils, with rocky terrain prevalent in the Santa Rosa foothills. Soil composition in the Project area is mainly characterized by fine sandy loam with alluvial sand and gravel of the Whitewater River at the northeastern portions of the project area and a mix of alluvial sand and clay and wind-laid dune sand throughout the rest of the Project area (City of La Quinta, 2022; USDA, 2024).

Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-60 The Project site is not within any of the State of California designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Rupture Zones (California DOC, 2024a). Nevertheless, the region is susceptible to seismic activity due to the presence of active faults nearby. Notably, the historically active San Andreas Fault lies approximately 5 miles northwest of the City, while the San Jacinto Fault is situated about 17 miles southwest (City of La Quinta, 2002). In 1972, California implemented the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act to reduce the risk of fault rupture. This law prohibits building structures intended for human use over the trace of an active fault.

The Project area is subject to strong seismic activities and is situated within Zone 4, the most intense seismic shaking zone (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations). Strong ground shaking has the potential to cause hazards including landslides, liquefaction, and structural damage, although liquefaction is not considered a hazard to development at the Project site, mainly due to the significant depth of groundwater. Zone 4 jurisdictions are responsible for diligently identifying any structures that could potentially pose hazards or fall below standard safety requirements. Subsequently, they are obligated to develop and execute thorough mitigation programs aimed at reducing the risks associated with such structures, and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents and infrastructure within their jurisdiction (City of La Quinta, 2002; 2022).

The following policies outlined in the City's General Plan would ensure that the impacts of seismic hazards are carefully considered and mitigated alongside future development efforts:
• Policy GEO-1.1: The City shall maintain and periodically update an information database and maps that identify local and regional geologic and seismic conditions. − Program GEO-1.1a: The City shall periodically confer with the California Division of Mines and Geology, Riverside County, neighboring communities, and other appropriate agencies to improve and routinely update the database.
• Policy GEO-1.2: The City shall continue to require that development in areas subject to rockfall, landslide, liquefaction and/or other geotechnical hazards described in this Element, prepare detailed geotechnical analyses that include mitigation measures intended to reduce potential hazards to less than significant levels.
• Policy GEO-1.3: The City shall require that development in areas subject to collapsible or expansive soils conduct soil sampling and laboratory testing and implement mitigation measures that minimize such hazards.
− Program GEO-1.3a: The Building and Safety Department shall review and determine the adequacy of soils and/or other geotechnical studies conducted for proposed projects and enforce the implementation of mitigation measures.
• Policy GEO-1.4: The City shall require that all new structures be built in accordance with the latest adopted version of the Building Code.
• Policy GEO-1.5: The City shall continue to require that structures that pose a safety threat due to inadequate seismic design are retrofitted or removed from use, according to law. • Policy GEO-1.6: The City shall coordinate and cooperate with public and quasi-public agencies to ensure that major utilities continue to be functional in the event of a major earthquake. − Program GEO-1.6.a: The City shall maintain working relationships and strategies between the Public Works Department, utility providers, and other appropriate agencies to strengthen or relocate utility facilities and take other appropriate measures to safeguard major utility distribution systems.

Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-61 a.i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.

No Impact: There are no Alquist-Priolo zoned faults in the City (City of La Quinta, 2022). The prospect of future development in the proposed Project area carries a seismic risk given its proximity to the San Andreas Fault, a well-known and active fault line, as outlined in the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map (State of California, 2022). The San Andreas Fault, positioned approximately 5 miles north of the City, represents a significant geological feature considered the “master fault” in southern California. Additionally, the region is influenced by the San Jacinto Fault Zone approximately 17 miles to the southwest of the Project area, the Burnt Mountain Fault roughly 15 miles north of the City, and the Indio Hills Fault situated approximately 2 miles east of the San Andreas Fault. These faults collectively shape the seismic characteristics of the area. As seismic events can lead to ground shaking, displacement, and other hazards, thorough consideration of these geological factors is crucial for informed decision-making in landuse planning and construction practices. Adherence to the City’s General Plan and seismic building codes are imperative to enhance the resilience and safety of any future infrastructure projects. As such, rupture of known earthquake faults in the area are not expected to generate substantial adverse effects to future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
a.ii) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact: The Project is situated within a seismically active area close to several seismic sources capable of generating moderate to strong ground shaking. Given the proximity of the San Andreas Fault and other significant active faults (San Jacinto Fault Zone, Burnt Mountain Fault, and Indio Hills fault), as well as other active faults within California, the Project area could experience strong ground shaking during future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. Shaking intensity could range from moderate to strong and would be expected to result in moderate to extensive damage, especially to buildings that are older or poorly constructed. The Project area is anticipated to encounter moderate to intense earthquakes throughout its design lifespan. Nevertheless, the Project would be engineered to meet the highest mandated standards, ensuring resilience against potential seismic activity as per the most recent specifications from the State of California Building Code and Department of Transportation.

Furthermore, the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) outlines the specific risks linked to earthquakes and outlines measures for mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery in case of seismic activity within the City. By addressing both natural and man-made hazards, the LHMP aims to reduce La Quinta's susceptibility and underscores the City's dedication to safeguarding residents, property, and critical infrastructure (City of La Quinta, 2023). Moreover, the City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) details the coordinated responses to various emergencies, encompassing natural disasters, technological incidents, and national security threats that could impact the City. The EOP establishes protocols aligned with the California Standardized Emergency Management System and designates evacuation routes for different scenarios (City of La Quinta, 2010). Following and executing these plans would safeguard and direct development along the Highway 111 Corridor, averting negative consequences for the community and City infrastructure in future development initiatives. Project-related impacts associated with seismic ground shaking would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-62 a.iii) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact: Liquefaction occurs when ground shaking of relatively long duration and intensity over 0.2 g occurs in areas of loose, unconsolidated soils with relatively shallow groundwater depths (50 feet or less). The sudden increase in water pressure in pores between soil grains may substantially decrease soil shear strength. This creates a condition where soil takes on the qualities of a liquid or a semi-viscous substance. Liquefaction can result in ground settlement, ground undulation, lateral spreading or displacement, and flow failures. Structures may sink or tilt as bearing capacity decreases, causing substantial damage (City of La Quinta, 2022). The City’s General Seismic Hazard Map shows that the Project area is not considered to be in a moderate or high Liquefaction Susceptibility area. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
a.iv) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides?
Less Than Significant Impact: Landslides and rockfall can occur when unstable slope conditions are worsened by strong ground motion caused by seismic events. Conditions that lead to landslide vulnerability include high seismic potential; rapid uplift and erosion that creates steep slopes and deeply incised canyons; folded and highly fractured rock; and rock with silt or clay layers that are inherently weak. Rockfall and rockslides are also common on very steep slopes. Landslides have been recorded after periods of heavy rainfall, and rockfall has been associated with slope failure during drier periods (City of La Quinta, 2022). The City’s General Seismic Hazard Map shows that the Project Area is not an Earthquake Induced Instability Area of Concern. Although the Project area is primarily flat, northwest of the Project area is susceptible to rock falls. Nonetheless, by adhering to the City’s General Plan and standards of the LHMP, impacts involving the risk of landslides are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact: The Specific Plan does not encompass existing development proposals, nor does it provide entitlements for development. While the Specific Plan itself would not cause soil erosion, activities such as land clearing, grading or excavations, and future development could potentially lead to soil erosion. Future construction activities, including cut, fill, removal of vegetation, and operation of heavy machinery would disturb soil and, therefore, have the potential to cause erosion.

State law mandates that new development projects must comply with the statewide General Construction Permit (CGP) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). This program oversees discharges from construction activities and monitors stormwater quality in municipal systems. Projects must submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as part of their permit application.

Additionally, according to the City’s General Plan, the Project area has a very high wind erodibility rating caused by strong winds in the CV. As such, any future development activities within the Highway 111 Corridor should be performed in compliance with the BMPs prescribed in the City’s Municipal Code and General Plan, including Policies GEO-1.1 through GEO-1.6a, as referenced above (City of La Quinta, 2021; 2022). Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-63 c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on, or off, site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
Less Than Significant Impact: According to the City’s General Plan, the proposed Project Area consists of three different geological units. Directly to the north of Highway 111 in the Project area, the soil consists of alluvial sand and clay and just north that is alluvial sand and gravel of Whitewater River. The southern section of the Project area south of Highway 111 consists of a combination of alluvial sand and gravel as well as wind-laid dune sand (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor should be consistent with the City’s General Plan and must adhere to established state and local regulations to mitigate risks related to unstable and expansive soils. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less Than Significant Impact: Expansive soils are soils containing fine-grained materials such as silts and clays in varying amounts. With changes in moisture content, clay minerals can shrink or swell, creating pressure that may affect structures or other surface improvements. Prior to any future ground-disturbing activities within the Highway 111 Corridor, it is recommended that soil properties and type be identified to ensure compliance with the Uniform Building Code. Furthermore, by adhering to the City’s General Plan Policy GEO-1.3, potential impacts to property development due to expansive soils would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Less Than Significant: Development under the proposed Specific Plan would continue to be connected to the CVWD’s wastewater treatment system. Future wastewater treatment proposed for development must comply with Regional Water Control Board regulations to prevent any potential discharge into local water sources. The installation, use, sizing, and location of wastewater treatment systems to support future development would undergo review and approval by both the Riverside County Environmental Health Department and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Additionally, it is likely that geotechnical engineering analysis may be required to secure future building permits to ensure the safe and proper installation of wastewater treatment systems.

Subsequent development may necessitate additional CEQA assessment of project-specific impacts before proceeding, alongside adherence to local laws and regulations. The potential wastewater impacts stemming from the adoption of the Specific Plan are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-64 f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated: Paleontological resources encompass not only fossil remains but also fossil sites and geological formations that have yielded fossil material. The proposed Specific Plan does not entail specific development projects or confer entitlements for development.

Moreover, the proposed land use blueprint would align with the current land use designations outlined in the City’s General Plan. As the Specific Plan functions as a policy and regulatory framework, it would not directly cause the disturbance of paleontological resources. However, potential future enhancements to execute the Specific Plan could potentially impact these resources. Though there are no known unique paleontological resources, site, or unique geologic feature present within the Project area, that does not mean undiscovered paleontological resources do not exist. To address this, mitigation measure GEO-1 has been proposed to mitigate potential impacts on undiscovered paleontological resources. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: GEO-1.

Geology and Soils Mitigation Measures
• GEO-1: Protect Paleontological Resources during Construction Activities Prior to ground disturbing activities, all field personnel will receive training on paleontological resources, including potential fossils that may be discovered and response steps, while a qualified paleontologist will prepare a Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (PRMMP).

If fossils (like bones, teeth, or well-preserved plants) are found during construction, the City will stop work within 50 feet and notify a paleontologist to document and assess the find. The paleontologist may allow work to continue or recommend salvaging the fossils if necessary and will suggest appropriate treatment methods. Collected fossils will be sent to an accredited institution for curation and preservation.

All earth-moving operations deeper than two feet must have a qualified paleontological monitor.

Continuous monitoring is needed if fossil-rich lakebed sediments are found. The monitor can stop work to identify and salvage fossils and may halt equipment for large specimens. A monitoring plan must be submitted to the City before any permits are issued or soil is disturbed. Grading and excavation must comply with La Quinta Code and regulations.

After ground disturbing activities and any necessary fossil curation, the project paleontologist will prepare a final report detailing the results of the PRMMP. 356 Return to Agenda Link

As described in Section 1, Project Information, the Project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. Therefore, growth parameters such as population and vehicle activity are consistent with the General Plan and have been previously analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR. The following General Plan policies and programs are applicable to and would be implemented by project:
• Policy AQ-1.7: Greenhouse gas emissions associated with a development project shall demonstrate adherence to the City’s GHG Reduction Plan.

The City adopted the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GHG Plan) in 2013. The City’s GHG Plan includes emission reduction targets for year 2020 and year 2035 that are consistent with the State’s Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) reduction targets. Specifically, the City’s reduction targets are:
• 10 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, and
• 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2035
a,b) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Less Than Significant Impact: The applicable greenhouse gas reduction plan is the City’s GHG Plan, which demonstrates a community-wide emissions reduction strategy consistent with the AB 32 reduction goals. Therefore, if a project is consistent with the City’s GHG Plan, the project would not generate greenhouse gas emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment. The Specific Plan’s consistency with the City’s GHG Plan is assessed in Table 3.3, below. As demonstrated in the table, the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s GHG Plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with an applicable GHG plan; the Specific Plan’s greenhouse gas emissions generation impact would be less than significant.

* A material is considered hazardous by the state of California Health and Safety Code as any material that, because of quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, poses a significant present or potential hazard to human health and safety or to the environment (CA HSC, 2022.). California categorizes hazardous materials into four categories. These include if the material or waste is poisonous (toxicity), can be ignited by open flame (ignitability), can corrode other materials (corrosivity), or can react violently, explode, or generate vapors when mixed with water (reactivity) (CCR, 2023b).

Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would facilitate expansion of commercial activities that may manufacture, transport, store, use, or dispose of hazardous materials and waste. Prior to any related ground disturbing activities, developers may need to conduct site-specific research and technical studies to assess the presence of hazardous materials and potential hazards within the Specific Plan area. This information would ensure that future developers are well-informed about the necessary protocols for safely handling, storing, and disposing of hazardous substances, as well as understanding any environmental risks that could impact development projects in the area.

The following policies within the City’s General Plan aim to address and mitigate health hazards associated with hazardous materials in future development:
360 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-69 • Policy HAZ-1.1: The storage, transport, use and disposal of hazardous materials shall comply with all City, County, State, and federal standards.
− Program HAZ-1.1.a: Continue to coordinate with all appropriate agencies to assure that local, State and federal regulations are enforced.
− Program HAZ-1.1.b: Development plans for projects which may store, use or transport hazardous materials shall continue to be routed to the Fire Department and the Department of Environmental Health for review.
− Program HAZ-1.1.c: The City’s Emergency Services Division shall maintain a comprehensive inventory of all hazardous waste sites within the City, including underground fuel storage tanks. • Policy HAZ-1.2: To the extent empowered, the City shall regulate the generation, delivery, use and storage of hazardous materials.
− Program HAZ-1.2.a: All facilities which produce, utilize, store or transport hazardous materials shall be constructed in strict conformance with all applicable Building and Fire Codes. • Policy HAZ-1.3: Support Household Hazardous Waste
− Program HAZ-1.3.a: Continue to work with the County to assure regular household hazardous waste disposal events are held in and around the City.
− Program HAZ-1.3.b: Educate the City’s residents on the proper disposal of household hazardous waste through the City’s newsletter and by providing educational materials at City Hall.

The analysis described in this section includes data on hazardous sites sourced from the San Diego RWQCB GeoTracker Database and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor Database, accessed as of June 2024.
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Construction activities associated with the Specific Plan may involve the handling of incidental amounts of hazardous materials such as fuels, hydraulic liquids, oils, and solvents. Handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials would be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and any hazardous waste materials would be disposed of offsite. Given the proposed densification of the corridor and new commercial activities, there would be greater potential for the transport of hazardous materials in Specific Plan area streets, increasing the likelihood of potential spills or leaks from mobile sources. Changes in land use, such as modification, increased activity, and reorganization, can potentially expose the public to environmental hazards associated with the transportation, disposal, or use of hazardous materials. Furthermore, future development or construction activities may also present risks to public health and the environment by disturbing contaminated groundwater, soils, or hazardous building materials already present.

Future development within the Highway 111 Corridor would be required to adhere to the Specific Plan’s policies, the City’s General Plan, and applicable federal and state laws and local regulations. As such, environmental impacts associated with the handling and disposal of hazardous material would be mitigated through the implementation of HAZ-1 and impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1.
361 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-70 b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The Specific Plan would adhere to the County’s Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP), which addresses the proper disposal, processing, handling, storage, and treatment of hazardous materials. The City also has adopted this HWMP and implements it at a local level.

In future redevelopment projects involving demolition of structures built more than 30 years ago, there is a possibility of encountering asbestos materials. Therefore, an Asbestos Survey shall be conducted prior to the commencement of any demolition activities, in compliance with Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, overseen by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), encompasses safety standards in the workplace, including regulations related to hazardous materials such as asbestos. Title 8 addresses the handling, removal, and disposal of asbestos during demolition activities. (CCR, 2023a).

Furthermore, future development within the Highway 111 Corridor shall comply with the City’s General Plan policies HAZ-1.1 through HAZ-1.3 to ensure impacts related to health hazards from hazardous materials are taken into consideration and reduced or minimized in conjunction with future development.

All future development under the proposed Specific Plan would be required to comply with applicable federal and state laws and local regulations pertaining to the transport, use, disposal, and accidental release of hazardous materials, including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), California Hazardous Waste Control Law, California Health and Safety Code, California Fire Code, California Department of Public Health, South Coast AQMD, RCRA regulations, the City’s Municipal Code along with the General Plan policies listed above. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and policies aims to mitigate potential environmental impacts associated with hazardous materials and hazards.

Through the inclusion of mitigation measure HAZ-1, future improvements within the Highway 111 Corridor would be minimized to levels deemed insignificant.

Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1.
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: La Quinta High School is about 0.18 miles north of the Specific Plan area, while James Madison Elementary School is roughly 1.6 miles northeast.

Additionally, Amelia Earhart Elementary School and John Glenn Middle School are situated adjacent to each other, approximately 1.5 miles north of the proposed Project development area. The Specific Plan is a guidance-level document and does not include site-specific development plans, however, future developments within the Specific Plan area may involve the release or handling of hazardous materials, substances, or waste within a quarter-mile radius of any existing or proposed school. Therefore, future development in the Highway 111 Corridor should adopt mitigation measure HAZ-1 to reduce potential impacts from hazardous materials, substances, or waste on nearby schools.

Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1.

Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-71 d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The provisions in Government Code Section 65962.5 are commonly referred to as the "Cortese List." A search of the Cortese List was completed for the Project to determine if any known hazardous waste sites have been recorded on or adjacent to the Specific Plan area. These include:
• Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database; • List of Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites from the Water Board GeoTracker database; • List of solid waste disposal sites identified by the Water Board with waste constituents above hazardous waste levels;
• List of "active" Cease and Desist Orders and Cleanup and Abatement Orders from the Water Board; and
• List of hazardous waste facilities subject to corrective action pursuant to Section 25187.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

Database searches conducted within a one-mile radius of the Specific Plan area returned two LUST (Leaking Underground Storage Tank) Cleanup Sites within the Specific Plan area (Regional Water Board Cases # 7T2253006; and 7T2253014 [DTSC, 2024; SWRCB, 2024]). LUST site 7T2253006 is located at 78611 Highway 111, La Quinta, CA 92253 and LUST site 7T2253014 is located at 46150 Washington Street, La Quinta, CA 92253. The LUST sites, 7T2253006 and 7T2253014, are located where future development may occur within the Highway 111 Corridor; however, the cases were closed in 2001 and 2003, respectively. The known contaminant for both LUST sites was gasoline, which was found in soil at both LUST sites. Excavation cleanup activities were conducted shortly after the leaks were detected and the cases were closed with no further regulatory action required. As such, it is likely that the closed sites have little to no potential to present a lasting impact or adverse consequences that would impede the feasibility of the proposed Specific Plan development.

As there are no other known hazardous sites or ongoing clean-up activities within the Project area that would pose a hazardous risk, the implementation of the Specific Plan would not create significant hazards to the public or environment. To prevent potential hazards to the public or environment from future development under the Specific Plan, any construction or site disturbance in areas with recorded Cortese List sites would require additional environmental assessment, such as Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, before excavation or major construction begins, as outlined in Mitigation Measure HAZ-2.

Mitigation Measures: HAZ-2.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact: The development area outlined in the Specific Plan is situated outside of an airport land use plan and beyond a two-mile radius from any public use airport. The closest airport, Bermuda Dunes Airport, is approximately four miles north of the Specific Plan area and is a public airport that is privately owned.

Additionally, the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is a public county-owned airport located approximately eight miles southeast of the Specific Plan area. Despite this proximity, it is expected that the proposed development would not negatively affect airport operations or safety. Since the Highway 111 363 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-72 Corridor is located outside any Airport Influence Area, it is not subject to an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan requirements (Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission, 2004). Therefore, no impacts related to airport land use plans or safety hazards are expected to occur.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Less Than Significant: Highway 111 serves as an arterial route through the City and can be utilized as an evacuation path. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would not hinder access along Highway 111 and to nearby neighborhoods. The City's Emergency Management Division has established an EOP detailing mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in emergencies (City of La Quinta, 2010).

Additionally, the City operates a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program, educating residents on disaster preparedness and basic response skills such as fire safety and rescue operations.

The City's LHMP further reduces risks from natural and man-made hazards, emphasizing protection for residents, property, and critical infrastructure (City of La Quinta, 2023).

The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan includes transportation and street enhancements aimed at improving multi-modal connectivity and pedestrian-friendliness without disrupting traffic flow or emergency access. All future development would undergo review and approval by the City of La Quinta Fire Department to ensure compliance with fire safety standards and non-interference with emergency access.

Adherence to the General Plan policies ensures that local emergency plans are regularly updated with the latest disaster preparedness information and evacuation procedures. By aligning with the goals of the EOP, CERT Program, LHMP, and General Plan, development along Highway 111 would proceed responsibly, minimizing impacts on emergency response and evacuation protocols and promoting community safety.

Therefore, the Project is expected to have a less than significant impact on established emergency plans and evacuation procedures.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
No Impact: The Project area is situated outside of wildland fire hazard zones and is not prone to wildfires (CAL FIRE, 2023). Development along the Highway 111 Corridor would adhere to the City's LHMP and comply with Building and Fire codes established to ensure adequate fire safety standards. These standards consider factors such as building type, design, intended occupancy, and usage. Additionally, the City has partnered with the Riverside County Fire Department to enhance fire safety measures under a comprehensive fire services agreement. By following the guidelines set forth in the City of La Quinta's LHMP, the Project is expected to have no impact on fire safety, ensuring compliance and safety standards are met.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.

Hydrology of the Region
The City is situated in the CV and exhibits a distinct hydrological profile shaped by its desert environment and unique geological characteristics. The City experiences a hot desert climate, characterized by low annual precipitation and high temperatures, which significantly influence its hydrology.

La Quinta receives minimal precipitation, averaging 3-5 inches annually, mostly during winter months (City of La Quinta, 2022). High evaporation rates from intense solar radiation limit surface water resources and, as such, the City heavily depends on groundwater from CV aquifers. The City’s hydrology is shaped by the San Andreas Fault system and nearby mountain ranges, influencing groundwater recharge and aquifer sustainability. Given its arid climate and groundwater reliance, the City prioritizes sustainable water management through conservation, monitoring groundwater levels, and exploring alternative water sources to address potential challenges from droughts and growing water demands (City of La Quinta, 2022).

Sustainable water management practices are essential to support the City's growth and development while safeguarding its water resources.

City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-75 Water Management and Flood Controls
The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC) oversees the design of flood control structures across the region. These structures manage runoff from areas beyond the City, such as the surrounding mountains. The CVWD holds extensive responsibilities for flood control management, encompassing planning, maintenance, and construction of enhancements for regional facilities. This includes managing facilities such as the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel (CVSC, Whitewater River), the La Quinta Evacuation Channel, the Bear Creek System, the East La Quinta Channel, and Lake Cahuilla. CVWD is an independent special district that is responsible for protecting and conserving local water resources in the CV. CVWD provides water to its customers via groundwater, recycled water, and imported water from either the Colorado River (via Coachella Canal) or through the State Water Project (CVWD, 2024). As groundwater is an important resource in the region, the CVWD has adopted several strategies, including groundwater recharge, imported water utilization, and water conservation initiatives, aimed at reducing groundwater extraction.

The Whitewater River/CVSC, which is managed by CVWD, serves as the primary drainage route within the City and while usually dry, it can flood during storms. Spanning approximately 50 miles, the CVSC averages 260 feet in width and is channelized in some portions and contains levees (City of La Quinta, 2022). The channel mostly aligns with its historical natural course, except for a deviation within the City's boundaries.

The City maintains and manages stormwater-related facilities that gather and transport runoff from streets and properties to regional channels and basins. The City’s Master Drainage Plan serves as a tool for managing and documenting the status and locations of existing stormwater management facilities (City of La Quinta, 2009). The Project area includes regions identified by the Federal Emergency Management Act’s (FEMA's) National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) as Zone X and Zone A. Zone X denotes areas with a reduced flood risk due to the presence of levees, while Zone A represents areas situated within the 100- year floodplain (FEMA, 2024).

Compliance with the following policies outlined in the City's General Plan would promote efficient use and conservation of the City’s valuable water resources:
• Policy WR-1.1: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to supply adequate domestic water to residents and businesses.
− Program WR-1.1.a: The City shall continue to implement its Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance and Building Codes, and update them as needed to meet or exceed State standards for water efficiency and conservation.
− Program WR-1.1.b: Continue to work with CVWD to implement independent and joint programs, rebates, and discounts that promote water conservation, subject to available funding.
• Policy WR-1.2: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to recharge the aquifer. − Program WR-1.2.a: Support CVWD’s efforts to increase recharge at its La Quinta facility and elsewhere in its district.
− Program WR-1.2.b: Work with CVWD to implement new or improved recharging techniques in golf course and lake design, turf and agricultural irrigation methods, and the use of tertiary treated water for irrigation and other uses.
• Policy WR-1.3: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to expand tertiary treated (i.e. reclaimed) water distribution.

Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-76 − Program WR-1.3.a: Work with CVWD to provide tertiary treated water for future recreational facilities and landscaping irrigation to the greatest extent possible. • Policy WR-1.4: Protect stormwater from pollution and encourage its use to recharge the aquifer. − Program WR-1.4.a: Implement federal, regional and local standards pertaining to the discharge and treatment of pollutants in surface water for all development projects. − Program WR-1.4.b: Coordinate with CVWD in its review of projects which impact drainage channels.
− Program WR-1.4.c: Require on-site retention for new development projects to the greatest extent possible, to provide added recharge of the aquifer. • Policy WR-1.5: Development within drainage areas and stormwater facilities shall be limited to recreational uses such as golf courses, lakes, sports or play fields and similar uses. • Policy WR-1.6: Encourage the use of permeable pavements in residential and commercial development projects.
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality?
Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would lead to the construction of new structures. This expansion of mixed-use development and densification of the Highway 111 Corridor would introduce more impermeable surfaces, as well as an increase in population and vehicles. Consequently, there would be a rise in urban pollutants like oils, heavy metals, pesticides, and fertilizers entering the storm drain systems.

The SWRCB regulates water quality through the NPDES program, established under the Clean Water Act.

This program aims to control and reduce pollutants entering water bodies from both point and non-point sources, covering long-term and construction-related activities. NPDES permits for discharges to water bodies are issued and enforced by the Colorado River RWQCB.

Projects that disturb more than one acre of land during construction must submit a notice of intent to be covered under the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. Project applicants must propose control measures consistent with this permit, as well as with local agency recommendations and RWQCB standards. Development that exceeds one acre in disturbance requires a notice of intent submission to the RWQCB. The State NPDES General Construction Permit mandates the development and execution of a SWPPP. This plan utilizes BMPs for controlling runoff, erosion, and sedimentation from project sites, both during and after construction.

Adhering to the NPDES General Permit requirements would significantly mitigate potential impacts on water quality to below a significant level. Additionally, any future development of wastewater treatment systems could affect groundwater quality, however, treatment of wastewater must be in accordance with RWQCB as well as state regulations. As such, impacts to surface waters or ground water quality can be reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of mitigation measure HWQ-1.

Mitigation Measures: HWQ-1.

Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-77 b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?
Less Than Significant: CVWD manages and protects groundwater resources in the CV and implements groundwater recharge to conserve water for the region. However, despite CVWD's consistent increase in groundwater basin recharge (from 1,813 acre-feet in 2000 to 21,735 acre-feet in 2009), persistent drought conditions and rising demand have prevented CVWD from sustaining positive recharge levels. CVWD intends to intensify recharge endeavors as the City expands (City of La Quinta, 2022; CVWD, 2024). Future development across the CV and the Highway 111 Corridor would necessitate domestic water for indoor use and landscaping irrigation, which would likely result in an increased demand on constrained water resources. The City has initiated water conservation measures and must sustain and broaden those efforts to safeguard its water reserves in the future. The City is also working with property owners along the corridor to remove non-functional turf and replace with desertscape to conserve water resources.

The proposed Specific Plan will enable future projects to use this impact analysis for environmental assessments, providing a programmatic overview that will likely be tiered from this document. Future growth and development along Highway 111 should align with the goals, policies, and programs outlined in the City’s General Plan, particularly water resource policies WR-1.1 through WR-1.6. Projects in the area will need to adhere to water efficiency standards, including Building Code mandates, and should incorporate drought-tolerant landscaping with minimal irrigation. These measures, along with other applicable requirements, are expected to effectively mitigate water-related impacts to less than significant levels.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
c.i) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? Less Than Significant: Development facilitated by this Specific Plan would likely involve grading and construction in areas already developed, and undeveloped areas, potentially altering drainage patterns and increasing impervious surfaces. This could lead to increased stormwater runoff, potentially causing erosion, siltation, or exceeding the capacity of storm drain systems, thereby posing flood hazards to surrounding lands. However, these impacts related to altered drainage patterns and stormwater runoff would remain insignificant if future development adheres to the policies of the City’s General Plan and complies with existing federal, state, and local regulations. As such, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
c.ii, c.iii) Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The Specific Plan does not include specific site designs, nor does it include development plans that may increase surface runoff rates and flooding. The document is intended to guide future land use and propose development scenarios and aesthetic improvements (Highway 111 Development Code) to the Highway 111 Corridor. However, potential future improvements in the area covered by the Specific Plan may alter runoff rates, possibly causing flooding or 369 Return to Agenda Link
Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-78 exceeding the capacity of the drainage system. The Highway 111 Corridor is largely developed, and any new buildings or facilities must be designed to manage stormwater by directing it into the City's drainage system or retaining it onsite. Adhering to City’s development standards would help mitigate impacts related to surface runoff and drainage system overload. Furthermore, future improvements that disturb over one acre of land would be required to develop and implement a SWPPP under NPDES (as mentioned above), which would mitigate impacts associated with stormwater runoff on the environment. Moreover, developments that generate more than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surface are generally required to adhere to Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) regulations, which call for post-construction controls to manage stormwater runoff and safeguard water quality (RCFCWCD, 2015b). Finally, integrating General Plan policy WR-1.6 into future construction and design along the Highway 111 Corridor would promote the adoption of permeable pavements, thereby reducing stormwater impacts caused by runoff. Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant with incorporation of Mitigation Measure HWQ-1.

Mitigation Measures: HWQ-1.
c.iv) Impede or redirect flood flows?
Less Than Significant: The Project area includes regions identified by FEMA's NFHL as Zone X and Zone A. Zone X denotes areas with a reduced flood risk due to the presence of levees, while Zone A represents areas situated within the 100-year floodplain. There are no FEMA-regulated floodways in the Project area (FEMA, 2024). Future improvements in flood hazard areas would undergo City Engineer review to ensure compliance with all development requirements. Future improvements would be required to prepare projectspecific hydrology studies and water quality management plans. Thus, adherence to City development standards would mitigate impacts related to impeding or redirecting flood flows, and as such, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation?
Less Than Significant: According to FEMA, the Whitewater River, located along the northern boundary of the Project area, is classified as Zone A. Only a relatively small and select portion of the Project area (approximately one acre area) is located within a flood hazard area (Zone A). This Zone A area is situated along the Whitewater River channelized wash, which lies in the northwest portion of the Project area, where Highway 111 crosses over the wash. However, the Project area outlined in this Specific Plan is an inland area that is not near a large body of water that could release or carry pollutants from a tsunami or seiche.

As described above, any future development improvements along the Highway 111 Corridor would be reviewed by City staff for compliance with flood hazard development standards. Additionally, future development may be required to prepare project-specific hydrology and water quality management plans, as needed, to align with City development standards. As such, impacts related to the potential release of pollutants due to project inundation would be reduced and impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: As mentioned above, the City’s Master Drainage Plan documents the status and locations of all stormwater management facilities (City of La Quinta, 2009).

City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-79 undertaken by permittees to effectively manage urban runoff in accordance with the NPDES municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit, specifically tailored for the Whitewater River Region (RCFCWCD, 2015a). Additionally, the Whitewater River Region Water Quality Management Plan Guidance Document was created to aid projects in meeting the obligations for addressing post-construction urban runoff from new development and redevelopment projects within the region (RCFCWCD, 2015b).

Development planned within the Specific Plan area shall adhere to mitigation measure HWQ-2, which includes water efficiency standards, compliance with development codes, and the use of drought-tolerant landscaping and restricted irrigation methods. Compliance with these requirements would ensure that future enhancements along the Highway 111 Corridor do not hinder the implementation of water quality control or sustainable groundwater management plans. Therefore, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

Mitigation Measures: HWQ-2.

Hydrology and Water Quality Mitigation Measures
• HWQ-1: Stormwater Management Practices
Prior to the issuance of City building permits, all projects within the Specific Plan area that disturb one acre or more of land must prepare a SWPPP. This plan shall outline suitable BMPs for managing and treating runoff from future development site(s). The applicant is accountable for both preparing and executing the SWPPP in accordance with NPDES requirements. Additionally, the applicant must submit a Notice of Intent to the SWRCB, obtain a Waste Discharge ID Number (WDID), and ensure a copy of the SWPPP is present at the development site throughout the construction phase.
• HWQ-2: Water Conservation Measures
Future development in the Highway 111 Corridor must integrate water-saving appliances and fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucets, in compliance with Section 17921.3 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 20 of the California Administrative Code Section 1601(b), and relevant sections of Title 24 of the California State Code. Additionally, the City would enforce its Water Efficient Landscape ordinance, requiring development projects within the Specific Plan area to adopt water-efficient landscaping plans that meet or exceed current criteria. These measures are aimed at conserving water resources while addressing the needs of residents and businesses.

Environmental Analysis – Land Use and Planning
City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-81 The City’s General Plan largely consists of a set of guidelines and policies that are in support of improved land use. As per the General Plan, Highway 111 presents the City with a prime opportunity for targeted diverse-purpose development, emphasizing increased housing choices and the creation of pedestrianfriendly spaces that prioritize public accessibility. Highway 111’s convenient access to transit options and its proximity to employment centers, schools, and various services make it an ideal location for mixed-use projects. This combination of factors creates a favorable environment for the integration of residential, commercial, and possibly other uses, fostering a vibrant and interconnected community along Highway 111.

Within this framework, the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan aligns with the policies established for La Quinta, particularly those related to land use.

a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
No Impact: According to the City’s General Plan, the only mineral resources in the region are composed of primarily sand and gravel for construction. However, these resources have not been mined in the City for many years. The California DOC, Division of Mines and Geology, has conducted mapping of the City's resources and recognized the presence of three mineral resource zones within the region:
• MRZ-1 consists of land where no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood for their presence exists.
• MRZ-2 consists of land where significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood for their presence exists.
• MRZ-3 consists of land containing mineral deposits, but the significance cannot be evaluated from available data.

The designated region outlined in the Specific Plan is labeled as MRZ-1, suggesting a low probability of substantial mineral resources being present (City of La Quinta, 2022). Therefore, the loss of known mineral resources is not expected and as such, impacts to mineral resources are not anticipated.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required.
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?

✓
Noise, considered an unwanted sound, can have severe physiological and psychological effects, including sleep disturbances and hearing loss. Sound is typically measured in decibels (dB), which quantify changes in air pressure. Traffic noise, however, is usually measured in A-weighted decibels (dBA) since this scale aligns closely with human hearing. It emphasizes mid-range frequencies while giving less importance to very low and very high frequencies, reflecting our natural experience of sounds like traffic. As most noise is measured in dB, people notice a 3 dB increase in noisy areas, a 5 dB rise is clearly noticeable, and a 10 dB increase feels like doubling the loudness. Traffic noise impacts are deemed significant if predicted levels exceed existing noise by 12 dBA or approach within 1 dBA of the noise abatement criterion (NAC) for sensitive areas, with evaluations considering the setting, receptor sensitivity, noise increase magnitude, number of affected residences, and absolute noise level. In California, under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) protocol, the NAC is 67 dBA for residences, places of worship, and schools.

Construction activities and associated equipment can register up to 110 dBA (FHWA, 2024; City of La Quinta, 2022).

The ambient noise level in a community is the total background sound at any given time, including noise from sources such as traffic, birdsong, conversations, and other environmental sounds. A linear source of noise, such as a roadway, affects a broader area along its length, while a point source, like a factory exhaust, impacts a more localized area around its specific location (USEPA, 1978). In the City, traffic noise is the primary noise source, with levels rising when heavy trucks are more prevalent compared to passenger cars. Other contributors include commercial activities such as air compressors, compactors, landscaping equipment, and daily business operations. Additionally, aircraft noise from Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport, though infrequent, can impact nearby residential areas.
