THE CI TY CO UNCIL O F T HE CI TY OF P ALM SPRINGS F INDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:

A. O
n December 2, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22625 certifying an Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2008061084), approving a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations (“Specific Plan EIR”), for the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan and enacted Ordinance No. 1764, thereby approving the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan which covers the land use, development standards and design guidelines for the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan area.

Item 1B - Page 4
Ordinance No. 2095

Page 2 ends

D. DTPS B- 3, LLC, a California limited liability company, (“Applicant”) filed applications with the City, in accordance with the Specific Plan and pursuant to Section

94.04.00 of the Zoning Code for a Major Architectural Application (Case 3.3908 MAJ) and Title 9 of the Municipal Code for a Tentative Tract Map (Case TTM 37935) , to allow the construction of a mixed- use building with 45 residential condominium units and ground floor retail at the northeast corner of Belardo Road and Museum Way and a one -lot subdivision of a 0.84 -acre lot for condominium purposes f or said mixed- use building (“Project”). These applications were conditionally approved by City Council Resolution Nos. 24845 and 24846 (“Entitlements”), effective on May 3, 2021 for two years, and extended by the Planning Commission through May 3, 2024.

E. The Applicant filed an application with the City, pursuant to Section 94.08.00 of the Zoning Code, for a Development Agreement (Case DA -2023-0008) to establish terms and obligations on the Project , including a request to vest and exten d the Entitlements through July 31, 2030.

F. On February 28, 2024, a public hearing to consider Case DA-2023-0008 was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law. At said meeting, the Planning Commission carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the application, including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented, and voted 7 to 0 to recommend conditional approval to the City Council , after determining that the application met required findings in Section 94.08.00(A)(12)(b) of the Zoning Code, as follows:

1. The development agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan.

The Development Agreement provides more time to complete a portion of the overall redevelopment of the former Fashion Plaza with a mixed- use building consisting of residential condominiums and retail. The proposed development would provide residential options downtown and street -facing retail, which is consistent with the following policies:
• General Plan Policy LU10.2: Encourage development of housing and mixed-use land uses Downtown to increase activity in this area. • Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan, Guiding Principle I.C.4.: A balance of commercial and residential development which assures the success of the area by increasing the number of homes in the downtown, thereby increasing the customer base of the commercial uses.
• Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan, Guiding Principle I.C.5.: The development of residential units which relate synergistically to the commercial development around them, and encourage a pedestrian lifestyle with little use for the automobile.

Item 1B - Page 5
Ordinance No. 2095

Page 3 ends

The Agreement would aid the City in achieving the above policies and is consistent with policies in the General Plan and Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan.

2. The development agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located.

The site associated with the Project is located within the Central Business District zone of the Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan, which authorizes mixed-use buildings with multi -family dwellings/condominiums and retail as permitted pursuant to Table II I-1. The Agreement would authorize previously granted entitlements to proceed at a future time that doesn’t extend beyond July of 2030. These entitlements consist of a Major Architectural Review Application approved by City Council Resolution No. 24845 for the construction of a mixed- use building on Block “B” of the Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan, and the Tentative Tract Map Application approved by City Council Resolution No. 24846 for a one-lot subdivision for condominium purposes. The Agreement doesn’t seek to permit other uses that would not otherwise be inconsistent with the Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan.

3. The development agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice.

The Agreement facilitates the future development of Block B of the Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan. The Project will provide new opportunities for residential and retail downtown as part of the overall redevelopment of the former Fashion Plaza, while the applicant resolves a legal dispute impacting the financial feasibility of the project. This will provide greater certainty with costs associated with the Project, assuring expeditious completion of the development after commencement of construction and reducing exposure to public inconveniences with a delayed construction project. Once completed, the Project will improve the general welfare of the immediate surrounding by activating a vacant site and will complete another component of the Downtown Palm S prings Specific Plan in accordance with good land use practice.

4. The development agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare.

The Project will be built in accordance with current uniform building codes with access to all necessary utilities and public services, ensuring the health, safety and general welfare are protected. Moreover, the terms of the Agreement would not result in detrimental impacts.

5. The development agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values.

Item 1B - Page 6
Ordinance No. 2095

Page 4 ends

The Agreement would allow the future development of an entitled site to be developed with a project found to be consistent with the Downtown Palm Springs Specific Plan. Property values are not expected to be impacted by the approval of the Development Agreement, as the site will remain vacant and subject to the city’s Property Maintenance Standards ordinance (Section 93.19.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code).

G. A notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs, California to consider Case DA -2023-0008 was given in accordance with applicable law and on March 14, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing in accordance with applicable law, and carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the application, including but not limited to the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.

H. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California has enacted California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. (the “Development Agreement Statute”), which authorizes City to enter into an agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property regarding the development of such property. This Development Agreement has been pr ocessed, considered, and approved in accordance with the procedures and requirements as set forth in the Development Agreement Statute.

I. Pursuant to Government Code S ection 65865(c), the City of Palm Springs previously adopted Zoning Code Section 94.08.00, that set forth rules and regulations establishing procedures and requirements for consideration of development agreements.

This Development Agreement has been processed, considered, and approved in accordance with the procedures and requirements as set forth in the City’s Ordinances and Municipal Codes.

J. T he City Council finds that no further environmental review is required (Public Resources Code section 21166; CEQA Guidelines section 15162). No changed circumstances, changes in the environment or changes in regulations have occurred since the certification of the EIR or the adoption of the addenda. Based on the requirements of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines, no additional environmental analysis is required for this Agreement and the mitigation measures previously imposed within the EIR will apply.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: MARCH 28, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT 23P041, THE COMMUNITY WORKFORCE

ADMINISTRATION SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TSG ENTERPRISES, INC. dba THE SOLIS GROUP

FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager

BY: Engineering Services Department

SUMMARY:

This action requests City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with TSG Enterprises Inc., dba The Solis Group, to increase the maximum four-year contract amount by $300,000 for a maximum amount not to exceed $500,000 for administration of the City’s Community Workforce Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. A pprove Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement 23P041, a four-year service agreement with TSG Enterprises, Inc. dba The Solis Group, increasing the contract amount by $300,000 to a maximum amount not to exceed $500,000 for administration of the City’s Community Workforce Agreement.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

The Solis Group is a California corporation (see Attachment A).

BACKGROUND:

On February 27, 2020, the City Council directed Staff to forge a partnership between the City of Palm Springs and the San Bernardino/Riverside Building and Construction Trades Council ("Building Trades Council") as well as other independent labor groups (i.e. , Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters) with a goal to create construction jobs for local residents, veterans, and minorities on City public works projects valued at $1 million or more. This relationship is envisioned to expand the City's ongoing job creation efforts for the City's public works projects. The partnership is intended to develop skilled workers Item 1E - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
March 28, 2024 -- Page 2
Amendment 1, Service Agreement for CWA

in the construction industry by capitalizing on opportunities available on larger City-funded public works projects.

As outlined in the February 27, 2020 Staff Report, a key component of the program would be a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). The CWA is applied to eligible City of Palm Springs public works projects to set a goal of hiring local residents working in skilled crafts and trades who otherwise travel to w orksites outside the City for employment, as well as at -risk youth, low -income and under/unemployed residents, women, minorities, LGTBQ+ members of the community, and veterans. The CWA is a result of discussions with the Building Trades Council representative and well as representatives from the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters. The CWA identifies which types of City public works construction projects would be subject to the agreement. The CWA's term is for a period of five years from the effective date.

The Community Workforce Agreement went into effect August 31, 2021, and the City required the assistance of an Administrator to provide administrative and labor compliance services.

The Procurement and Contracting Department, in coordination with the Engineering Services Department, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Community Workforce Administration Services on January 9, 2023.

On March 23, 2023, The City Council approved a four-year contract with the Solis Group to provide Community Workforce Administration Services. The initial $200,000 contract amount recommended for award at the time was an estimate of the cost of the services needed over the term of the agreement. Since this was the City’s first Community Workforce Agreement, the actual costs of the contract were not known as it would be dependent on the number of projects over $1 million that the City undertakes during the contract term.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

To date, the City as undertaken seven (7) public works projects that exceed the $1 million threshold required for a CWA as follows:

Project $200,000.00
City Project 22-05 Navigation Center ($43,550.00)
City Project 19-28 Rec. Field Lighting ($14,196.00)
City Project 21-28
Airport Common Use
Podiums ($8,040.00)
City Project 18-04 Plaza Theatre ($70,434.00)
City Project 19-15 Storm Drain Line 20 ($24,656.00)
City Project 18-18
Bogert Lift Sewage Lift
Station ($15,678.00)
City Project 24-01
2024 Pavement
Rehabilitation ($15,410.00)
Remaining Balance $8,036.00
Item 1E - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
March 28, 2024 -- Page 3
Amendment 1, Service Agreement for CWA

For the remaining three years of the contract, Staff anticipates having 10 to 15 more projects that exceed the $1 million threshold that will require a CWA. An additional $300,000 for the remaining three years should cover the anticipated project costs.

However, it is understood that the amount of projects may vary and consequently, the total cost to be paid to the Solis Group may vary and may need to be adjusted again before the end of the contract term.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines , the requested City Council action is not a “Project” pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5).

Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment are not considered a “Project”.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

This action aligns with the Strategic Plan Item 2 – Community Infrastructure, as its purpose is to increase the number of construction staff available to perform capital projects for the City and to ensure that those workers are paid a fair wage for their work.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the agreement is provided by the individual projects requiring CWA assistance. If additional funds are required, funds are a vailable in the Contractual Services Account 1002000-40105.

Item 1F - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
March 28, 2024 -- Page 2
Authorization to Purchase Vehicles

BACKGROUND:

On June 5, 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18834 ( Attachment B ), establishing a new Equipment Replacement Policy. This policy outlined the requirements to replace vehicles depending on the type of vehicle, age, and mileage. A copy of the resolution is included in the attachments to this report. However, in the past economic recession, the City Council suspended regular vehicle replacements, allowing replacements only on an emergency basis. This created a backlog of vehicles that have higher mileage and worn condition and require replacement. In recent years the City Council has authorized the purchase of new vehicles to replace existing vehicles, and to add vehicles for new positions that require a vehicle, helping to reduce the backlog of replacements/purchases.

In 2019, in anticipation of replacing its fleet of motorcycles, t he Police Department conducted an evaluation and comparison of three available models of police motorcycles from BMW, Harley Davidson, and Honda. The comparison was performed in order to determine which motorcycle would be best suited to fit the particular needs and requirements of the Police Department and included evaluation of multiple aspects of the individual manufacturers’ vehicle performance, safety features, warranties, training requirements, maintenance intervals, and initial and projected long-term operating costs.

Based on the inclusive assessment of the Harley Davidson, Honda and BMW vehicle specifications, the Police Department determined that the BMW R 1250 RT-P model is the most cost-effective option over the long term, and the numerous additional rider-safety features offered on it serve as the basis for its recommendation.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

As the age of the City’s existing fleet of vehicles increases, the annual cost to maintain these vehicles also increases. Staff monitors the ongoing operational and maintenance cost of its older vehicles and has identified an inventory of vehicles that should be replaced with new vehicles given the accumulated cost of repairs in comparison to the current value of the vehicle. In certain additional cases, new vehicles are required to support additional staff.

Staff has initiated these purchases through both competitive quotes and the City of Sacramento using a cooperative purchasing program, RCA Investments dba Long Beach BMW Motorcycles award contract no. 2022- 0438 for the purchase of BMW Motorcycles with related equipment and accessories. This cooperative contract includes provisions that allow the awarded vendor to extend the same contract pricing to other public agencies. As such, pursuant to the provisions of the Procurement Ordinance, 7.099.010, the City Council may authorize procurement of vehicles and equipment under this pricing afforded through this cooperative contract.

The City’s Public Works Department solicited quotes for the purchase of vehicles and received the following quotes:

This requested action includes the purchase of one new Caterpillar, Model C7.1 GC, EPA Tier 3, Stationary Emergency Diesel Generator Set. The equipment to be acquired in this action is a traditional diesel -powered piece of equipment that meets California A ir Resources Board standards (the manufacturer does not offer a hybrid engine option), and was selected for their specific performance, and operational requirements.

EMISSIONS NOTE

 "California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved alignment with the federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Such alignment allows for emergency standby engines to be exempt from Tier 4 emissions standards; however, local air districts can require more stringent emissions control. The prospective buyer of the equipment quoted above is hereby notified the NSPS exemption does not apply to non-emergency standby engines (e.g. prime power applications such as peak shaving, parallel operation with the grid, or storm avoidance), or portable engines, even if used for emergency standby. Consult the local air district for permitting requirements and required emissions controls. Presently, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1470 requires the use of a particulate filter if an engine is located within 100 meters of a school, and may require either a diesel particulate filter or an oxidation catalyst, depending upon engine size, if the installation is within 50 meters of a sensitive receptor. Particulate filters may also be required for Title V and major polluting facilities. For emissions requirements specific to the project for which this engine is being quoted, please contact SCAQMD at 909-396-2000. Unless otherwise listed above a DPF is not included in this proposal, please call for quotation if a DPF is required for this project.”

 Caterpillar engines require a minimum of 30% load to prevent engine damage due to wet-stacking. Depending upon the permit and site specific conditions, SCAQMD emergency engine permits will only allow between 20 and 50 hours of runtime per year for non-emergency applications such as testing and exercising. Passive Diesel Particulate Filter systems depend on generator loading of a minimum of 50-60% to achieve minimum exhaust temperature threshold to keep soot regeneration and the filter backpressure within acceptable levels. If the engine will be operated consistently at low loads/low exhaust temperatures, the customer should make provisions to add load via facility operations or a load bank. Active Diesel Particulate Filter systems require no external load in order to regenerate. If listed above, Passive DPF option pricing, does not include a load bank or a load bank circuit breaker. If a load bank is needed for this project, please call for quotation.

Additionally, Buyer’s instruction to Seller to stop work for thirty (30) days during the time specified for performance in any order may be construed by Seller as the equivalent of written notice of termination from Buyer and previous stipulations will be in effect.

5. Taxes.

Unless expressly stated, Seller's prices do not include sales, use, excise or similar taxes, which Seller may be required to pay in filling Buyer's order. The amount of any applicable tax shall be paid by Buyer as an additional charge unless specifically included in any order accepted by Seller, or in lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities.

6. Patents.

Seller shall, at its own expense, defend and save Buyer harmless from the expenses and consequences of any suit or procedure brought against Buyer, based on a claim that the use or sale of goods specified in any order accepted by Seller constitutes an infringement of any United States letters of patent in existence on the date of any such order; provided Buyer promptly notifies Seller in writing of such claim and gives the necessary authorization, information and assistance for the defense of such a claim.

7. Changes.

Seller, and Seller's suppliers, may, at any time, without notice to Buyer, make changes (whether in design, materials, the addition of improvements, or otherwise) in any goods specified in any order accepted by Seller without incurring any obligation of any kind as a result thereof, but only to the extent that such change does not cause the goods specified to fail to meet Buyer's requirements. Buyer may, in its order, provide for changes in its requirements with provision for a corresponding equitable change in the price, if any; but in no instance shall Buyer make changes, which are substantially different from the scope of the original order accepted by Seller.

8. Export Sales.

In the event the goods and services specified in any order accepted by Seller are for export, the Buyer shall be responsible for securing export, import and other licenses or authorizations as may be required.

The conditions specified in this Section apply to all export transactions. This transaction is only for the sale of the equipment requested and detailed in this Quotation. Not included is any startup assistance, field- testing, training or any other services that might be required on site. Also not included is any installation, installation audits, sea trials (if applicable), or installation materials. To ensure proper application, installation, and warranty integrity, Buyer is encouraged to contact the applicable Caterpillar Dealer for these services. The costs of these services are not included in the sale price nor will Seller be responsible for any such related costs.

9. Permits for Equipment Design, Installation and Operation.

As a supplier of equipment , disclaims responsibility for any and all permits or licenses necessary to design, install and operate the equipment due to zoning, air quality, environmental, safety, building or construction codes or use permits pertaining to Buyer’s particular application of such equipment or any similar type of permit. Special attention should be given to the requirements of local air district rules and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations pertaining to permit requirements. Seller is quoting on equipment based on the specifications set forth in this Quotation. If additional equipment or engine modifications are required beyond the specifications, such as additional equipment required for compliance by a local air district or CARB, those items are not included and are the responsibility of Buyer. For example, South Coast AQMD (SCAQMD) Rule 1470 may require controls and limits on particulate matter, especially when the engine installation is within 100-meters from a school, or within 50 meters of a sensitive receptor (defined in Rule 1470). Ultra low sulfur fuel is required for particulate filters. CARB Diesel Fuel, or other CARB-approved alternative fuel, is also required for compression ignition (CI) engines operated in California. When indicated in the bill of materials, the proposed equipment may be SCAQMD pre-approved as Certified Equipment. This certification does not eliminate the permit process or responsibility of others to obtain a permit. Procurement of certified equipment assures permitability, reduces the permit processing fees and reduces the time necessary to obtain the permit through SCAQMD.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: MARCH 28, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY OPERATIONAL

AREA MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager

BY: Fire Department

SUMMARY:

This is a request for the City Council to pass a resolution adopting the Riverside County Operational Area (OA) Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) as required by the Federal Disaster Mitigation and Cost Recovery Act of 2000 and the Riverside County Hazard Mitigation Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a R esolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,

CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE PALM SPRINGS LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

ANNEX TO THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA MULTI -

JURISDICTIONAL LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE

FEDERAL DISASTER MITIGATION PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL DISASTER MITIGATION AND COST RECOVERY ACT OF 2000.”

BACKGROUND:

Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP) are produced, reviewed, and submitted from the City of Palm Springs on a five- year cycle through Riverside County Emergency Management Division (EMO) to the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These plans are reviewed at each level and approved for adoption at the local level. Riverside County operates on a multi -jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan; however, the local annex must be adopted by the local governing body.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The adoption of the LHMP provides the City of Palm Springs access to state and federal funds that would not otherwise be available. The adoption of the LHMP also affords Item 1H - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
March 28, 2024 -- Page 2
2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Adoption

residents and businesses a twenty percent (20%) discount on flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. The complete Palm Springs Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex is a large document of approximately 100 pages and is on file with the City of Palm Springs Clerk's Office.

The City's planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and Cal OES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County EMD comprised of participating Federal, State and local jurisdictions agencies, special districts, school districts, non-profit communities, universities, businesses, tribes and general public.

The plan discusses the C ity's community profile to include climatology, geography, population, economy, etc. The bulk of the plan identifies local hazards and vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources, identifies mitigation shortcomings, and provides information on future mitigation planning.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
:

The proposed action is exempt from environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, as there is no possibility that the adoption of the Riverside County Operational Area Multi -Jurisdictional LHMP will have any effect on the environment.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

Adoption of the LHMP supports City Council priority 1 – Quality of Life, and priority 2 – Community Infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The request to adopt the Riverside County Operational Area Multi -Jurisdictional LHMP will not have any fiscal impact to the City of Palm Springs. Non- adoption could result in loss of available state and federal funding for emergency and disaster management. Non- adoption would also result in a twenty percent (20%) increase on flood insurance for Palm Springs residents and businesses.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the City of Palm Springs Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex is to identify the City’s hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences, and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.

The City of Palm Springs Office of Emergency Management coordinated the development and update to the City’s 2017 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex to the Riverside County LHMP to address hazard and mitigation considerations unique to the City of Palm Springs.

The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs.

The City of Palm Springs LHMP Annex integrates with the Riverside County Operational Area (OA) Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP and provides a consistent approach to community mitigation efforts.

The City’s planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and Cal OES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) comprised of participating Federal, State and local jurisdictions agencies, special districts, school districts, non-profit communities, universities, businesses, tribes, and the general public.

The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources, identifies mitigation shortcomings, provides future mitigation planning, and maintenance of the existing plan.

The plan will be adopted and implemented upon FEMA approval.

has a residential population of approximately 45,0191 and an estimated seasonal population of over a 100,000 residents and guests.

The City of Palm Springs is located within Riverside County Region VI Southern Administrative Region of the California Office of Emergency Services Agency (Cal OES). Primary access to the City is provided by Interstate 10 and California State Highway 111; north– south access to the City is provided via Indian Canyon Drive and Gene Autry Trail. The Southern Pacific Railroad and Kinder Morgan pipeline run through the Coachella Valley and specifically through the City’s northern boundary.

1.3 BRIEF HISTORY
The area encompassing the present City of Palm Springs was discovered centuries ago by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who established their village around the natural hot mineral springs (current site of the Spa Resort Casino) known for their medicinal and healing capabilities. Throughout the 19th century, many explorers, colonizers, and soldiers came through the desert, but it wasn’t until 1853 that United States Topographical Engineers described the combination of palm trees and warm springs they encountered as “Palm Springs.” The name became more commonly used several years later.

In 1877, the Southern Pacific Railroad completed its line through the desert to the Pacific Ocean. A Congressional policy established that every old section of land for 10 miles on either side if the track become the property of the railroad. Early development in Palm Springs was associated with attempts to establish agricultural activity in the area and in the southern portions of the Coachella Valley.

In the 1920s, the region became a retreat for successful business and movie personalities, who took advantage of the warm weather, the remote location, and the hot water spas. The tourist and resort community of Palm Springs developed over the following decades and dramatically changed the character and economy of the Coachella Valley. In 1938, the City of Palm Springs was officially incorporated.

In the 1950s, about 3000 sections of land were transferred to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians which created the checkerboard pattern. The checkerboard pattern is divided into Indian and non-Indian property holdings, based upon a grid pattern of square-mile sections of alternating ownerships.

Indian land which has been subdivided into sections, half sections, and sometimes

even smaller areas—is controlled by the Tribal Council or by individual allottees of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. Over time, this checkerboard land- ownership pattern has led to inconsistent patterns of development since the majority of development has occurred on non-Indian and non-Tribal owned lands.

The City has one hospital and the only trauma center for the Coachella Valley, Desert Regional Medical Center. The Medical Center is a 385-bed full service acute care facility that includes a Level II trauma center. There are four public full service elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative school within the City of Palm Springs that are administered by the Palm Springs Unified School District. The City has a regional airport (Palm Springs International Airport), numerous large and small hotels, shopping centers, and commercial/industrial zones. Interstate 10 and State Highway 111 traverse the City as well as several main arterial roadways.

The City operates its own police and fire departments and also relies on local volunteer organizations for assistance in emergency response, communications, and other necessary emergency services.

1.4 ECONOMY DESCRIPTION
Palm Springs is comprised of both a resort city and year-round residences. Palm Springs has always embraced its reputation as a world class resort, holding such titles as “America’s premier desert resort city,” and “America’s Resort port.” The City currently is host to over 2 million visitors annually. Palm Springs maintains the largest number of hotel rooms in the Coachella Valley with over 15,000 rooms with some dating back to 1926. The City government is dependent on sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax as revenue sources. 55% percent of available jobs within Palm Springs are categorized within three employment sectors: retail, entertainment, health care and other services, and government and local services. In contrast, manufacturing and transportation represent only 9% of jobs within the City. Employment is projected to increase from approximately 18,673 jobs in 2020 to 22,050 jobs by the year 2025.

Downtown serves as the functional, economic, and psychological heart of Palm Springs. It is a heavily visited area of town, has a collection of outstanding architecture and urban design features, and has a concentration of popular restaurants and stores. Community events such as Village Fest, cultural amenities such as the Village Green Heritage Center the Palm Springs Art Museum, and visitor-serving uses such as the Convention Center and Spa Resort Casino bring thousands of visitors to downtown annually.

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
The Convention Center serves as a major center of business and tourist activity within the City. Providing approximately 261,000 square feet of conference facilities, the Convention Center generates large numbers of conference attendees who support nearby hotel and convention-related businesses and who often extend their stays to take advantage of the recreational activities that Palm Springs has to offer. The City is also home to the Palm Springs Aerial Tram, the Palm Springs Air Museum, and Wet ‘n’ Wild Palm Springs Water Park, which are geared toward family recreation and entertainment.

The City has a limited amount of industrial uses, the majority of which are located along the I-10 corridor or adjacent to the airport. These job centers are characterized by low-intensity industrial development consisting primarily of administrative, wholesaling, light manufacturing, and industrial uses typically permitted within business park environments. Portions of the City north of I-10 contain wind energy facilities, commercial uses, light and medium intensity industrial uses, and a modern natural-gas-fueled power plant. Wind turbine generators create significant amounts of clean renewable energy, which benefits Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.

The Palm Springs International Airport serves as the primary air transportation access to the Coachella Valley communities in a county which has been one of the fastest growing in the nation. Located on over 940 acres of land on the eastern edge of the City, the airport not only serves as a major transportation and tourist hub, but is also an asset to the City’s economic development.

Bounded approximately by Ramon Road, Calle Encilia, Alejo Road and Belardo Road, the Central Business District (CBD) designation allows for a mix of commercial, residential, and office uses at a higher concentration, density, and intensity than in other areas of the City. The CBD serves as the main activity center and cultural core of the community and, as such, theatres, museums, retail, and other entertainment venues are encouraged here.

1.6 DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND LAND USE
The City of Palm Springs is land locked form further land growth on all sides because of the City of Cathedral and Desert Hot Springs, Tribal Land, and a National Monument.

The City is currently going through a Downtown/Uptown Revitalization that is transforming 13 acres of land that were previously Desert Fashion Plaza. The revitalization will add to Downtown Palm Springs three hotels, 488,000 square feet of retail space, up to 900 residential units, 50,000 square feet of open space for a park, home for the Aluminare House, and a 3,000 person event stage. These additions to the Downtown/Uptown area are projected to add $2,165,000 to the City’s economies through Transit Occupancy, Property Tax and Sales Tax when completely built out. The three hotels will add an additional 440 of hotel beds which is projected to bring thousands of additional tourists into Palm Springs each year. No development trends have impacted vulnerability to hazards.

Stakeholders were invited to participate in this regional planning committee through various meetings, emails, and calendar invitations.

In addition, the City of Palm Springs has provided information and written and oral comments on the multi-jurisdictional plan.

2.3 DATES AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
The public was provided an opportunity to provide comments and input into the City of Palm Spring’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update from September 2021 through April 2022.

The City provided information to the public about the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan through multiple methods to ensure the widest dissemination. The City accepted feedback from the public from September 2021 through April 2022. The methods that were utilized were:
• City Webpage
• City Public Access Channel
• Organized Neighborhoods of Palm Springs (ONE-PS) monthly meetings • CERT subcommittee monthly meetings
• Nextdoor
• Outreach and Education

The City’s Emergency Management Coordinator created a Portable Document File (PDF) flyer explaining what a hazard mitigation plan is. The flyers provided contact information on where additional information could be obtained and how feedback could be provided on the plan. The flyer was posted to the City’s webpage and handed out at outreach and education events. The flyer remains posted continuously to inform the public about hazard mitigation.

Also posted on the City’s webpage was a survey for members of the community to rank the 20 identified hazards from least to greatest concern. The survey separated hazards into natural hazards and technological hazards. The survey was available on the City’s website, and paper form if requested, from September Item 1H - Page 27
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 20

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
14, 2021 to November 30, 2021. The results of this survey were shared with the LHMP Committee and are enclosed as an attachment to this document.

The update of the LHMP was announced on the City’s Access Channel through a slide and ran from September 9, 2021 through November 30, 2021.

The ONE-PS general meeting was targeted for public outreach because a representative from each neighborhood in the city attends providing the widest possible reach to the citizens of the community. An overview of the LHMP program and an update on the survey was provided at the October 12, 2021 and December 14, 2021 meetings. There were representatives from 49 neighborhood in attendance.

ONE-PS Disaster Subcommittee was targeted due to the members being active in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and would be the most aware of potential hazards within their area of the community because of their training.

The LHMP was initially introduced to the Subcommittee in August 2021 and has been on the monthly agenda through April 2022 to allow the committee members to provide input.

2.4 PLANS ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION
Upon approval by FEMA, the LHMP will be presented to the City of Palm Springs City Council in a public meeting for adoption via official Resolution.

3.3 NEW HAZARDS OR CHANGES FROM 2 017
Many of the City hazards have remained in relatively the same order since the 2017 LHMP. Earthquake remains the City’s highest ranking natural disaster for catastrophic losses. However, the City believes that flood, ranked 2, will continue to be the most likely challenge. Flooding impacts the city’s arterial roads with even minor amounts of rain several times per year and the potential for impacts makes flood planning the priority for the City. Road closures from flooding impact City emergency services ability to access North Palm Springs. These closures also limit adjacent jurisdiction’s ability to access Desert Regional Medical Center. Another change was pandemic moving from number 16 to number 3. This increase is attributed to the lasting effects of COVID-19. The City anticipates pandemic moving out of the top five during the LHMP cycle. The City continues to face increased risk of drought similar to the rest of the State of California. Civil unrest was increased because of the current unrest against Public Safety in the United States.

The City decreased agricultural related issued, landslide, jail/prison event, and nuclear incident. Due to the City not having an agricultural industry the hazards related to agriculture was decreased. The City does recognize that there is potential for landslide due to proximity to mountains, but does not see it as a high risk. The City does not hold prisoners or have a jail so the risk of a prison event would likely not impact the City directly. The City lowered nuclear incident due to the distance to the nearest nuclear power plant and minimal threat of radiological terrorism.

3.4 BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS
The City of Palm Springs has many hazards similar to other jurisdictions in Riverside County especially earthquake, flooding, and fires. In addition to these hazards the City also has the following:
• Many areas of the City may be subject to flooding, flash flooding, urban flooding (storm drain failure/infrastructure breakdown), river channel overflow, downstream flooding, etc.) The City has historically been vulnerable severe winter storms.
• A transportation incident such as a major air, train derailment, or trucking incident could impact areas within the City. This type of incident could expand to include hazardous materials and mass causality.
• A civil unrest incident could impact areas within the City or the entire City.

SECTION 4.0 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK

ASSESSMENT

4.1 CRITICAL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURES
The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) conducted a hazard identification study to determine the hazards that threaten the City of Palm Springs. This section details the methodology and results of this effort. While the City’s most catastrophic hazard remains earthquake, the City will continue to prioritize flood mitigation as it is the most frequent natural hazard the City faces.

Most City facilities are at low risk from severe damage due to flooding, so loss of infrastructure planning used an earthquake scenario when assessing potential loss of infrastructure and facilities. Floods have been a part of the City’s past and will continue to be so in the future. The City is working in conjunction with Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District to identify and mitigate areas that may cause or have the potential to cause damage or destruction of property.

4.2 ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSS
Government Buildings
Palm Springs government buildings vary in structural design due to time of construction and building codes that were utilized. These varying building codes affect the residency of a building to withstand a disaster. It is critical that certain branches of city government continue to function after the initial shock. Because of the structural design and construction, the City EOC is expected to withstand a significant shock, and damage is anticipated to remain minimal. Fire stations are generally not earthquake resistant, but because of the redundancy of stations, the city fire protection will remain intact. Fire station 4 was renovated in 2019 and was partially retrofitted to meet current seismic standards. Stations 1 and 3 may be hardest hit due to their location and construction and could suffer major damage due to ground shaking and settling. Fire Station 3 at 590 E. Racquet Club Road has had a seismic retrofit to its apparatus room following the Landers earthquake.

Airport
There is one commercial and international airport in the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs International Airport. The primary hazards at this site are damage to terminal, runways, air traffic control tower, hangars, and fuel storage facilities.

Palm Springs International Airport runway is expected to remain operational, with potential minor to moderate damage. Emergency actions may need to be taken to control air space, prioritize use of available air transport, and restrict access to the facility. Nearby Banning Airport is located in an area of anticipated high shaking intensity with potential moderate to major damage expected.

Item 1H - Page 33
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 26

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
In addition to Palm Springs International Airport, the area hosts other smaller airfields: Thermal, Bermuda Dunes, Desert Center and Blythe Airports. Thermal Airport is located in a high potential liquefaction area. Desert Center Airport is relatively isolated in an area of sparse population to the east of the fault. Bermuda Dunes Airfield is located close to the fault rupture zone but is not within the liquefaction area. Blythe Airport is sufficiently distant from the fault zones to experience little, if any damage.

Sanitation Systems
Palm Springs' sanitation services are provided by the city's wastewater treatment facility located on Mesquite Road near Demuth Park. This facility may be damaged and operate in a limited capacity following a disaster.

Wastewater supply and sewage lines, storage reservoirs pumping plants, treatment ponds, treatment plants and solid and liquid waste disposal sites will sustain varying degrees of damage depending on their location relative to the affected fault, soil conditions and adequate facility design to withstand shaking.

Disruption of the sewage system will result in sewage flowing in some streets and streams where human contact can result. Public notice in such cases will be important.

Overflow of sewage through manholes and from ponds can be expected due to breaks in mains and loss of power. Gas mains will be broken, causing natural gas to migrate into sewers. Rupture of underground gasoline storage tanks will result in infiltration of gas into sewers. Consequently, there is the possible danger of the collection of explosive gas in sewers and the flow of untreated sewage in some street gutters. Many house connection sewers will break and plug, causing them to become inoperative.

Although extensive damage may affect the sewage collection system, the damage will not be sufficient in most areas to significantly impair the system's ability to convey wastewater. This is because most of the system conveys by gravity.

Medical and Custodial Care Facilities
The primary provider of medical services will be Desert Regional Medical Center.

This facility is a 367-bed, fully licensed and accredited general/acute care hospital and Level II Trauma Center. Their services include the following:

1. 24 hour fully equipped emergency room with specially trained personnel.

2. Intensive Care Unit

3. Coronary Care Unit

4. Post Coronary Care Unit
Item 1H - Page 34
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 27

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023

5. Fully equipped and staffed Cardiology, Laboratory, Gastrointestinal, Hematological, Radiological and Surgical Facilities.

Upon receiving notification of a medical emergency, Desert Hospital External Disaster Plan 091-00 will be put into effect by the appropriate hospital authority.

Referral of patients or survivors will be made to other emergency facilities which may be used for the treatment of casualties as determined by this Plan.

In addition to the hospital, there are many immediate care facilities and nursing facilities in Palm Springs. These facilities are, perhaps, the most difficult because of the non-ambulatory nature of some of the occupants. Specific planning is imperative to deal with the probability of evacuation and relocation of persons involved. Critical care facilities may suffer loss of power, telephones and sanitation. Damage and interruption of the orderly flow of activities may result beginning at a level VI of the Modified Mercalli scale.

4.4.1 Earthquake
Major Earthquake Severity – 4, Probability – 2, Ranking – 1

The City of Palm Springs is in the vicinity of several known active and potentially active earthquake faults and shares many of the hazards associated with earthquake faults in Southern California. At least two active faults, the Banning and Garnet Hill faults extend through portions of the City. Both fault zones are capable of causing significant damage to the City. Other faults in the region, such as the San Andreas, San Gorgonio Pass, and San Jacinto faults, also have the potential to produce strong seismic shaking in Palm Springs. While earthquakes have the potential to be the most damaging natural hazard in terms of severity, the City will continue to prioritize mitigation strategies for more probable hazards.

Historically, major temblors have struck the Coachella Valley every 150 years, on average, but for reasons no one can explain, it's been quiet for 300 years.

More recent studies of the eastern knot of the San Andreas near San Gorgonio Pass reveal that this area is more advanced in the cycle of strain accumulation than the western knot at the Cajon Pass. A growing body of geologic evidence suggests that the south-central segment of the San Andreas Fault is ruptured repeatedly by a characteristically large event such as the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, Richter magnitude 7.9. Earthquake activity around the southern San Andreas in June, 1992 Landers-Big Bear quakes, have prompted scientists to increase their studies of this area. The San Andreas Fault represents the greatest threat to Palm Springs. However, the San Jacinto Fault also represents a significant threat to the City and should not be discounted.

Recently, the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Geological Survey teamed up to develop The ShakeOut Scenario which describes how a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the southern portion of the San Andreas Fault would impact the region, causing loss of lives and massive damage to infrastructure, including critical transportation, power, and water systems. It could be aggravated by aftershocks and landslides, fires, hazardous material spills and explosions. An earthquake of this magnitude could directly affect all of Riverside County and most of southern California, causing a critical demand on mutual aid resources and competition for Federal relief.

Ground Shaking
The most significant earthquake action in terms of potential structural damage and loss of life is ground shaking. Ground shaking is the movement of the earth's surface in response to a seismic event. The intensity of the ground shaking and Item 1H - Page 39
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 32

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
the resultant damages are determined by the magnitude of the earthquake, distance from the epicenter, and characteristics of surface geology. This hazard is the primary cause of the collapse of buildings and other structures.

The HAZUS (Hazards U.S.) database for the 7.8 ShakeOut Scenario estimates for the City of Palm Springs that the long duration ground shaking will moderately or completely damage nearly 25% of the total building structures in the city .

Earthquake-Induced Slope Failures and Landslides
Strong ground motions can worsen existing unstable slope conditions, particularly if coupled with saturated ground conditions. Earthquake-induced slope failures generally include rock falls, landslides, and debris flows that can overrun structures, people, or property, sever utility lines, or block roads, which can hinder rescue operations after an earthquake. After the 1986 North Palm Springs earthquake, numerous landslides consisting primarily of debris slides and rock falls were reported over an area of 600 square kilometers.

The southern parts of Palm Springs are most vulnerable to seismically induced slope failure, due to the steep terrain. These areas of the City are at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains or below hills covered with large boulders that are most susceptible to rock fall. In areas where there is development at the base of steep slopes, dislodged boulders can roll down onto roadways, with the potential to impact passing motorists.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction occurs when loose, soft, unconsolidated, or sandy soils that are saturated with water are subjected to ground vibrations during a seismic event.

Significant ground shaking causes soil to lose strength and “liquefy,” triggering structural distress or failure due to the settling of the ground or a loss of strength in the soils underneath structures.

The northern and eastern areas of the City have a low possibility of being affected by liquefaction. This hazard is considered low in the Palm Springs area because the approximate depth to groundwater is greater than 50 feet. Research and historical data indicate that loose, granular materials saturated with groundwater and located at depths of less than 50 feet with silt and clay contents of less than 30 percent are most susceptible to liquefaction. Shallow groundwater that can contribute to the occurrence of liquefaction is known to occur locally in the downtown area, immediately surrounding the Agua Caliente Springs. A strong earthquake could cause liquefaction in this area, most likely occurring as “sand Item 1H - Page 40
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 33

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
volcanoes” immediately surrounding the spring. Seasonal fluctuations in groundwater levels and the introduction of residential irrigation increase liquefaction risk.

Many areas may have buildings destroyed or unusable due to the phenomenon of liquefaction. Liquefaction is a phenomenon involving the loss of shear strength of a soil. The shear strength loss results from the increase of poor water pressure caused by the rearrangement of soil particles induced by shaking or vibration.

Liquefaction has been observed in many earthquakes, usually in soft, poorly graded granular materials (i.e., loose sands), with high water tables. Liquefaction usually occurs in the soil during or shortly after a large earthquake. In effect, the liquefaction soil strata behave as a heavy fluid. Buried tanks may float to the surface and objects above the liquefaction strata may sink. Pipelines passing through liquefaction materials typically sustain a relatively large number of breaks in an earthquake. In Palm Springs the Spa Hotel and some areas downtown may be susceptible to the effects of liquefaction.

Electrical Power
Major power plants are expected to sustain some damage due to liquefaction and the intensity of the earthquake. Up to 60% of the system load may be interrupted immediately following the initial shock. According to representatives of Southern California Edison Company, the electrical power will not be rerouted and will be lost for an undefined period of time. Much of the imported power is expected to be lost. In some areas of greatest shaking it should be anticipated that some of the distribution lines, both underground and surface, will be damaged. Much of the affected area may have service restored in days; damaged areas with underground distribution may require a longer time. Loss of Southern California Edison transmission lines is possible.

Water Supply
In the event of a major earthquake, most water systems within the City will suffer some damage. Water distribution pipelines vary from 2 inches to 54 inches or more in diameter. Pipe materials vary from cast iron to welded steel and asbestos cement to a variety of plastic materials. The damage to distribution pipelines is expected to vary with pipe material, soil type slide conditions, and degree of corrosion, design and installation practices, and joint type. In local distribution lines of fewer than 12 inches in diameter, there will be hundreds of breaks and thousands of leaks. Breaks in housing service connections will be common.

NOVEMBER 2023
The Desert Water Agency has been proactive in installing "Earthquake" valves on its larger reservoirs to prevent an uncontrolled flow of water following a major earthquake.

Pumping plants are generally more compact structures and with the exception of related electrical equipment and transformers, will probably not suffer as much damage as distribution reservoirs. Large pumping plants will suffer damage closely related to ground acceleration and to the soils on which they were constructed. Damage is anticipated to be primarily related to pipeline rupture and transformer damage.

4.4.2 Flood
Severity – 3, Probability – 4, Ranking – 2
Major flood control structures in the City of Palm Springs area include the Whitewater River Levee, the Chino Canyon Levee and Channel, and the Palm Canyon Wash Levee. The levee between Palm Canyon Wash and Gene Autry Trail, maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD), protects the northern part of the highly developed Palm Springs area from 100- and 500-year flooding from Chino Creek and the Whitewater Channel. The Palm Canyon Wash levee directs flows from Palm Canyon and Arenas Canyon northeastward to the Tahquitz Creek. It provides 100-year storm protection on the north side of the channel down to Tahquitz Creek and on the south side of Tahquitz Creek channel to the Whitewater River.

Flooding resulting from dam failure is a potential hazard for the City. The Tachevah Creek Detention Reservoir and the Tahquitz Creek Debris Basin are two flood-control structures in the Palm Springs area required by the California State Water Code to be monitored for structural safety and that have the potential to pose a flooding risk to the City.

The Tachevah Creek Detention Reservoir, about 1,200 feet downstream from the mouth of Tachevah Canyon, is formed by a 42-foot-high embankment constructed of compacted earth fill, and has a capacity of approximately 650 million gallons.

This dam was built in 1964 and protects the highly urbanized central part of the City from floods and debris flows.

The Tahquitz Creek Debris Basin, which is a considerably smaller structure, was designed and constructed to reduce the risk of flooding the Tahquitz Creek has historically posed to Palm Springs. Completed in May 1991 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the basin consists of a natural channel and dam with a debris Item 1H - Page 42
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 35

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
storage capacity of about 33 million gallons and a two-mile reach of grass-lined channel used as a golf course and bicycle and equestrian trails. An inundation pathway for this dam is not available, possibly because it rarely holds water expect during periods of intense and continuous rainfall. Therefore, its inundation threat is considered very low.

Flooding is also expected to occur on the alluvial fans that the developed part of the City occupies, primarily from sheet flow. Flood-control structures built and maintained by the RCFCWCD have helped reduce flood damage in the City since they were installed. Outside of the developed area of the City, most drainage channels are still in their natural state. Due to the construction of flood-control structures, sheet flow in most of these areas is estimated to be infrequent in occurrence and less than one foot deep.

Floods have been a part of the City’s past and will continue to be so in the future.

Flooding in the City occurs annually in the desert washes and some surface streets. These floods impact the major arterial roads of the City and regularly cause road closures. In some cases, these closures inhibit emergency response by the City’s Police and Fire Departments. The City is currently working on several flood control projects in coordination with Riverside County Flood Control to mitigate potential flood damage as were seen in recent years. Mitigation priorities include ensuring arterial roadways can remain operational during heavy rains and mountain runoff. Flood control projects are likely to continue over the duration of this HMP.

4.4.3 Pandemic
Severity – 3, Probability – 3, Ranking – 3
The global Coronavirus (COVID -19) pandemic forced a reevaluation of pandemic risks. Tourism being one of the largest economic drives of the City brings with it unique challenges. These unique challenges and increased risk of an outbreak are people from areas other than the United States bringing with them viral strains that residents of Palm Springs may not have immunity to. This lack of immunity to a viral strain could cause a pandemic situation within the immediate area. Also, with an International Airport even if the travelers do not stay within the City they could spread viral strain to other travelers and personnel employed at the airport.

4.4.4 Extreme Weather
Severity – 2, Probability – 4, Ranking – 4
The City of Palm Springs has historically been a land of extreme weather as a part of the Colorado Desert. The extremes and types of weather are increasing and changing. The City has a wide range of temperatures from summer to winter.

system maintenance during the more mild times of year to try and prevent outages during the extreme temperatures of the summer. During the summer months there is also an increased risk of outages when the electrical system become overloaded due to high demand for power to run air conditionings. The City has emergency generators on key City facilities in mitigation of this potential. The City also has predesigned cooling centers that are open for people to cool off if their air conditioning does not work at home or if they cannot afford to operate their air conditioning.

4.4.6 Transportation Incident
Severity – 3, Probability – 3, Ranking – 6
Major rail transport lines near Palm Springs include the Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railway Companies. Rails, cars, supporting bridges, overpasses, and electrically operated switching mechanisms are susceptible to damage.

The Southern Pacific, a major Southern California supply route, enters the Coachella Valley from Imperial County along the eastern shore of the Salton Sea.

It follows Highway 111 and then Interstate 10 through the Coachella Valley.

Because of the close proximity of the rail lines as they parallel almost the entire length of the San Andreas Fault, particularly in the area near the City, extensive damage could occur. This may include bent rails, overturned cars (including possible carriers of hazardous materials) and damage to supporting structures.

4.4.7 Drought
Severity – 2, Probability – 4, Ranking – 7
The City is located in a desert region with minimal annual rainfall. It is susceptible to prolonged drought conditions as other areas in the State receive less than normal rainfall.

Desert Water Agency (DWA) indicated that drought could be contributed to several factors.
• With higher air temperatures water losses could increase across the Coachella Valley Region which would lead to increased evaporation in water bodies that would normally allow for ground water recharge • Increase population could impact the availability of water in the area because the needs demands could outpace supply
• Groundwater water supplies compared to surface water sources are less likely to be impacted due to climate change but will greatly be relied upon during a drought
• Climate change could impact the recharge of groundwater which could lead to a drought

4.4.8 Severe Wind Event
Severity – 3, Probability – 4, Ranking – 8
Strong winds are endemic to the Palm Springs area, due to the tunneling effect of air through the narrow San Gorgonio Pass. Wind can damage land and vegetation, and in this region, where surface sediments are predominantly dry and granular, windblown sand and dust can impact surface improvements, air quality (creating health hazards), and visibility.

Wind erosion commonly occurs in flat, bare areas, dry, sandy soils, or anywhere the soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated. Wind erosion damages land and natural vegetation by removing soil from one place and depositing it in another.

Since high winds blow down the axis of the Coachella Valley, recreational and resort communities that first developed in the upper Coachella Valley were generally located in areas sheltered from these winds, tucked in coves at the base of the mountains. However, as the area has grown, development has had to move into the central axis of the valley and into the high-wind areas. As seen in Figure 7, most of the urban development in the City of Palm Springs lies within an area of high susceptibility to wind erosion. Recreational land uses, especially use of off- road vehicles, can also accelerate erosion in the area.

Wind and windblown sand pose an environmental hazard throughout the Coachella Valley. Buildings, fences, roads, crops, automobiles, trees, and shrubs can all be damaged by abrasive blowing soil. In some areas, windblown sand has actually forced the abandonment of dwellings and subdivided tracts in the central Coachella Valley. In Palm Springs, windblown sand has repeatedly caused the closure of several roads, costing the City thousands of dollars in cleanup. The roads with the most frequent closures include Indian Canyon Drive, Gene Autry Trail, and Vista Chino

4.4.9 Terrorism
Severity – 4, Probability – 2, Ranking – 9
The City of Palm Springs has numerous high-profile sites and Seismic potential that require additional security/preparation measures to be taken in conjunction with other Local, State and Federal agencies. Some of these sites include Palm Springs International Airport, numerous high profile events, Railroad commerce, High Volume Gas pipeline, Electrical Generation, Tribal lands, National Parks, Tourist and Historical Landmarks, past Presidents and Hollywood influences.

Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the City of Palm Springs, will provide a coordinated, comprehensive response and mount a swift and effective recovery effort.

Fusion centers are owned and operated by state and local entities with support from federal partners in the form of deployed personnel, training, technical assistance, exercise support, security clearances, and connectivity to federal systems, technology, and grant funding. The City of Palm Springs participates with the JRIC (Joint Regional Information Center) that encompasses seven counties in Southern California.

The Department of Homeland Security provides the coordinated, comprehensive federal response in the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large- scale emergency while working with federal, state, local, and private sector partners to ensure a swift and effective recovery effort.

4.4.10 Civil Unrest
Severity – 3, Probability – 3, Ranking – 10
The City hosts a large number of conventions and public gatherings. With these types of events there is a potential for civil unrest. People that come for conventions or other major events bring with them their own cultural norms that do not always align with the established cultural norms of the community they are visiting. These conflicting social norms can result in the potential for civil unrest.

Civil unrest can severely impact the City due tourism being one of the major economic drives of the City. Without tourism the City would be severely impacted.

Since, the last Local Hazard Mitigation Plan the Country has seen as increase in Civil Unrest relating to Law Enforcement.

4.4.11 Hazardous Materials Incident
Severity – 2, Probability – 3, Ranking – 11
State Highway 111, I-10, and the Southern Pacific Railroad corridor are all used to transport hazardous materials through the City. It is these areas that have the highest likelihood of potential spills or leaks. The California Highway Patrol is in charge of spills that occur in or along freeways, with Caltrans and local police and fire departments responsible for providing additional assistance. Additionally, natural gas transmission pipelines extend across the City and sphere of influence north of I-10. Rupture of any portion of this pipeline would adversely impact the area.

4.4.12 Pipeline Incident
Severity – 3, Probability – 2, Ranking – 12
Most major pipelines cross the San Andreas Fault, and pipeline breakage is expected. There is a possibility of fire where pipeline failures occur. Priorities will have to be established to assure adequate fuel for emergency crews. Ruptures of numerous lines due to fault breaks on the San Andreas are most likely. Fire is a serious threat if leaking products are ignited and a considerable environmental concern if they leak into the ground.

4.4.13 Aqueduct
Severity – 1, Probability – 1, Ranking – 13
The City of Palm Springs has two aqueducts, both of are located on the extreme Northwest section of the City. The first one is an artificial aqueduct that is cement lined that carries water into the second aqueduct that is located in the Whitewater basin. The water that enters the Whitewater Basin then goes into spreading ponds that allows the water to reenter the aquifer. The artificial aqueduct could produce water movement that is extreme enough to produce a swift water rescue. This type of incident has not occurred during this LHMP reporting period. If the dirt berms on the spreading ponds were to break then Indian Canyon Drive would become in passable which is no different than a heavy rain storm. This only occurred once during this operational period.

4.4.14 Dam Failure
Severity – 2, Probability – 1, Ranking – 14
Dam failure is a potential hazard for the City of Palm Springs. The Tachevah Creek Detention Reservoir and the Tahquitz Creek Debris Basin are the two main flood- control structures within the City’s urbanized area. These structures are required to be monitored for structural integrity by the California State Water Code. Failure of these structures have the potential to pose a flooding risk to the City and its residents.

The Tachevah Creek Detention Reservoir is 1,200 feet downstream from the mouth of Tachevah Canyon. The reservoir is formed by a 42-foot-high embankment constructed of compacted earth fill and rock. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately 650 million gallons. This dam was built in 1964 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and protects the northerly part of the city from flood and debris flows.

The Tahquitz Creek Debris Basin and Channel were constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and completed in 1991. The Debris Basin has a storage capacity of about 33 million gallons. The Tahquitz Creek Channel consists of 1.3 Item 1H - Page 48

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
miles of a natural channel which changes into 2.0 miles of grass-lined channel used as a golf course and includes bicycle and equestrian trails before converging with the Palm Canyon Wash. An inundation pathway for this dam is not available, because it rarely holds water except during periods of intense and continuous rainfall. The 2019 Valentine’s Day Flood, that filled and overflowed the Tahquitz Creek Debris Basin, kept flood waters within the channel geometry. No buildings surrounding the channel were affected by floodwaters, therefore, its inundation threat to residents is considered very low.

4.4.15 Insect Infestation
Severity – 2, Probability – 1, Ranking – 15
City has limited problems with insect infestation but with prolonged rain in the spring with high temperatures could increase the probability of mosquitoes.

City has limited problems with insect infestation but with prolonged rain in the spring with high temperatures could increase the probability of mosquitoes.

4.4.17 Wildland Fire
Severity – 3, Probability – 3, Ranking – 17
Wildfires are a significant hazard in the Western United States, where they occur naturally and have always been part of the natural environment. Large areas of southern California are particularly susceptible to wildfire due to the region’s weather, topography, and native vegetation. The typically mild winters, characteristic of the region’s Mediterranean climate, result in an annual growth of grasses and plants that dry out during the hot summer months. This dry vegetation provides fuel for wildfires in the autumn, when the area is intermittently impacted by Santa Ana winds—the hot, dry winds that blow across the region in the late fall. Although dangerous, wildland fire is a natural process and a necessary part of the natural ecosystem of southern California.

Relatively few wildland fires have occurred in the urbanized areas of Palm Springs within the past ten years. However, between 1980 and 1994, four very large wildfires occurred in the San Jacinto Mountains and foothills along the western border of Palm Springs and its sphere of influence. These fires were the Dry Falls fire of 1980, the Tram Fire of 1985, and the Palm Fire of 1994. The Blaisdell Canyon Fire of 2005 burned more than 5,000 acres in the mountains above Palm Springs proper, threatening the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway area. Fortunately, these fires were mostly limited to undeveloped areas of rugged terrain.

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
Only one relatively small area in the northwest corner of the City of Palm Springs and its Sphere of Influence is designated as a State Responsibility Area (SRA).

The CALFIRE have primary responsibility for fire protection in this area. Fire suppression in the remaining wildland areas in and near Palm Springs is the responsibility of the USDA Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management. The direct protection area assignments affect firefighting resources in the City and should be a consideration in all fire hazard mitigation. Within the Palm Springs city limits, the western and southwestern portions of the City, specifically the neighborhoods located along the foothills and canyon mouths, are generally the most susceptible to wildland fire. Also susceptible to wildland fire are those areas with more vegetation, such as in the lower canyon reaches draining the San Jacinto Mountains, including Tachevah Canyon, Tahquitz Creek, Andreas Canyon, and Palm Canyon, where water may be more plentiful.

4.4.18 Landslide
Severity – 3, Probability – 2, Ranking – 18
Slope instability could be a widespread hazard in the City if the areas of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains within city limits were open to development.

However, since most of these highlands have been set aside as a preserve, little development is expected to occur within the mountainous areas that are moderately to highly susceptible to slope instability. Slope stability issues do pose a concern along the developed areas of the City that abut mountainous terrain, including roads, like Highway 111, that are along the base of the slopes. Intense rainfall, ground shaking, and other environmental factors, including time, can cause boulders to fall or roll onto these areas, posing a threat to structures and passing motorists. Planning for developments and infrastructure placed in these areas should be supported by site-specific geotechnical analyses for slope stability. Careful land management in hillside areas can reduce the risk of economic and social losses from slope failures.

Slope failure is the down slope movement of rock, debris, and soil in response to gravitational stresses and pressures. Slope failures can occur on natural or manmade slopes. For manmade slopes, most failures occur on older slopes, many of which were built at slope gradients steeper than those allowed by today’s grading codes. Although infrequent, failures can also occur on newer, graded slopes, generally due to poor engineering or poor construction.

The potential for slope failure is dependent on many factors. Some of the most important factors include slope height, slope steepness, and the strength of weaker layers of soil underlying the slope. Heavy and prolonged rainfall, erosion, Item 1H - Page 50
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 43

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
undercutting by streams, manmade alterations to the slope, and seismic shaking all contribute to conditions in which slope failures are likely to occur.

Potential as well as past landslides pose risks to the Palm Springs area.

Landslides are downward movements of mixes of bedrock blocks, fragments, debris, and soils. Large landslide deposits are present in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, but only one landslide deposit has been identified in the Palm Springs area. This deposit is located in the San Jacinto Mountains overlooking Blaisdell Canyon. Failed slopes in northwestern area of Palm Springs resulting from the 1986 North Palm Springs earthquake also pose risks for potential landslides and other associated hazards, such as compressible soils. In addition, the foothills and mountains adjacent to Palm Springs have steep slopes along which landslides and other slope failures can occur during or after periods of intense rainfall or in response to strong seismic shaking. Areas of high topographic relief, such as steep canyon walls, are most likely to be impacted by rock falls, rockslides, soil slips, and to a lesser degree, large landslides. Likewise, locations in the Garnet Hill and Whitewater Hill areas contain unstable soil types along which slope failures could occur.

During exceptional storm periods or prolonged rainfall, the risk of debris flow increases. Debris flows are the most dangerous and destructive type of slope failure, generally consisting of rapidly moving slurry of water, mud-rock, vegetation, and debris. This type of slope failure usually occurs during an intense rainfall event, following saturation of the soil by previous rains.

Rock falls are free-falling or tumbling masses of bedrock that have broken off steep canyon walls or cliffs. Rock falls can happen wherever fractured rock slopes have become steep from stream erosion or human activities. This hazard is present in the hills that frame the southern part of the Coachella Valley, along the southwestern portions of Palm Springs. Rock falls can occur suddenly and without warning, but are more likely to occur in response to earthquake-induced ground shaking, during periods of intense rainfall, or as a result of human activities such as grading and blasting

SECTION 5.0 – COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM
The National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions meeting the three goals of the CRS:

• Reduce flood losses;
• Facilitate accurate insurance rating; and
• Promote the awareness of flood insurance.

5.1 REPETITIVE LOSS PROPERTIES
There were NO repetitive loss properties in the City based on the information from FEMA Repetitive loss data last updated in 2016. From 2018 through December 2021 the City had NO repetitive loss properties that were outside of a flood plain.

5.2 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROPERTIES
a. Describe participation in NFIP, including any changes since previously approved plan.

There is a yearly review and five-year cycle review to make sure the City in being reactive and proactive to issues relating to flood hazards in the area through major storm event pre/post data, record keeping of construction related certificates and permits, storm drain and channel maintenance, and community awareness of NFIP and requirement for flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Major changes have been with technology and the ease of access and dissemination of flood maps, flood proofing and flood prevention information, flood insurance information for single-family and multi-family homeowners and renters, and FEMA forms, applications, and publications through the internet and web-based media.

b. Date first joined NFIP.

The City joined the National Flood Insurance Program on December 11, 1970.

c. Identify actions related to continued compliance with NFIP.

Making sure that FEMA and local applications and permits related to properties in an SFHA are filled out properly and local agency and DFIRM information is correct, keeping logs and records on all activities in SFHA area, keeping maintenance records related to small and large storm drain and flood channel systems within the City limits, using print, web, and television based media outlets to inform the public about flood hazards and the need for flood insurance if they are in or near a flood zone, and monitoring State, County and Item 1H - Page 53

local warning systems. We’ve increased our community awareness program significantly in the last 5 years.

d. CRS member?
Yes, CRS Community Number 060257

e. CRS class?
The City has a CRS Class rating of 6, garnering the citizens of Palm Springs in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) a 20% discount on flood insurance. This rating was updated in October 2021 from the 5-year Cycle visit in 2026.

f. Describe any data used to regulate flood hazard area other than FEMA maps.

The City acquires data from the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. This agency regulates and maintains large storm drains and flood channels within the entire Coachella Valley. ESRI GIS Online is used in combination with weather and United Stated Geological Survey (USGS) maps to determine possible localized flooding areas within the City of Palm Springs for residents.

g. Have there been issues with community participation in the program? The biggest one is the complacency of the City’s full-time and seasonal residents living in a desert environment that may get a major storm incident once a year.

The community has been generally receptive to the annual newsletter that is included in their Flood Protection and Insurance Information newsletter included in their Fall Palm Springs Disposal quarterly bill. There is usually a flood of calls for up to two months afterwards from residents asking if they are in an SFHA zone. There was an especially large surge in requests due to the threat of El Nino during the rainy months. There has been some backlash with residents who own condominiums in an SFHA. Condo owners who never had to carry flood insurance are now being asked to. Flood insurance rule changes as they apply to condominiums are adversely affected the selling and buying of their properties.

h. What are the general hurdles for effective implementation of the NFIP? As with most desert cities, the residents are apathetic to the flooding risk in the Coachella Valley. Flooding in the Midwest and Eastern states are localized around rivers and tributaries during Fall and Winter storm events and Spring and Summer runoff. There are no such catalysts in our area. Even less so Item 1H - Page 54

with the decade long drought that has plagued the western states. Flooding the valley is linked to large storm events that are far and few between. Historically, there have been devastating floods that have washed through the desert, but there has been no dramatic flooding in the valley in the last 40 years.

Consequently, flood protection and preparation are low on their list priorities.

i. Repetitive Loss Properties
The last repetitive loss properties were four properties that submitted claims between 1995 and 1996. The Repetitive Lost list was last updated on or before June 30, 2008 and these properties had been removed because of the implementation of mitigation Measure E.

j. Digital Flood Information Maps – DFIRMs
On September 28, 2007, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a new set of Digital Flood Information Maps (DFIRMs). The City of Palm Springs was asked to review them for accuracy prior to final issuance of the maps. The City of Palm Springs reviewed the DFIRMS but had no comments at the time. The final DFIRM maps were issued on August 28, 2008 by FEMA in electronic format along with accompanying GIS location files.

The Public Works department uses these DFIRMS to verify flood zones for customers who walk in, email, or phone for the information. The City has created a DFIRM Flood Zone Information form that identfies the property address, legal description, Assessor’s Parcel Number, Flood Zone and whether they are in or out of a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Per the requirements of the NFIP/CRS certification requirments, the City keeps a log of all Flood Zone Information requests on file.

There are 21 DFIRM Panels that encompass the City of Palm Springs city limits (NFIP/CRS Community No. 060257). There are 16 panels that encompass the developed portions of the City. Some of the panels fall under the community indexes for Riverside County (RC), the City of Desert Hot Springs (DHS), the City of Palm Springs (PS), the City of Cathedral City (CC), the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI), and the City of Rancho Mirage (RM), or any combination of these.

The City uses a variety of sources for mitigation projects to include the City’s General Fund, local and regional taxes, Regional funding through partnerships with Riverside County Flood Control, state funding through partnerships with CalTrans, and federal funding through the federal highway administration. The City has identified the below grant programs as potential sources of additional funding for mitigation projects. The City could improve mitigation capabilities through the use of a grant writer or additional emergency management staff that can focus on grant management.

The Ha
za rd Mitigation Grant Program (H MGP) is authorized by Section 404 o f the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (the Stafford Act), Title 42, United States Code (U.S.C.) 51 70c. Th e key pu rpose of HMGP is to ensure that the oppo rtunity to take critical mitigation measures to reduce the risk of loss of life and property from future disasters is not lost during the reconstruction process following a disaster. HMGP is available, when authorized under a Presidential major disaster declaration, in the areas of the State requested by the Governor. Th e amount of HMGP funding available to the applicant is based upon the estimated total Federal assistance to be provided by FEMA for disaster recovery under the Presidential major disaster declaration. California is eligible to apply for up to 20% of the cost of recovery for the declared disaster.

T
he Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program was authorized by Section 1366 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (NFIA), 42 U.S.C. 4104c, with the goal of reducing or eliminating claims under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

The Pre‐Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program is authorized by Section 203 of the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5133. The PDM program is designed to assist States, Territories, Indian Tribal governments, and local communities with implementation of sustained pre‐disaster natural hazard mitigation programs to reduce overall risk Item 1H - Page 73
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 66

NOVEMBER 2023
to the population and structures from future hazard events, while also reducing reliance on Federal funding from future disasters. Funding for the PDM Program is allocated annually in the federal budget.

On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed the Biggert‐Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, which combined the SRL funding into the FMA program, and created a combined National Flood Mitigation Fund. The PDM, FMA and SRL programs are subject to the availability of appropriation funding, as well as any program specific directive or restriction made with respect to such funds.

6.4 MITIGATION OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIPS

The City of Palm Springs Fire Department conducts Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training three times a year. The training provides residents with the skills that they will need after a disaster to help themselves and their neighbors. To maintain the skills of those that have completed the 20-hour, monthly refreshers classes are offered generally six times a year. CERT trained volunteers may offer assistance to the City of Palm Springs during hazardous situations. The City could increase its education and outreach programs with additional emergency management staff and/or increased training opportunities. The City maintains relationships with ADA and AFN organizations to ensure training opportunities for those communities. The City works with a variety of groups to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors. The City actively uses a variety of communication tools to educate and inform residents and visitors on a variety of disaster preparedness topics.

7.3 ON-GOING MITIGATION STRATEGY PROGRAMS
In the 2012 LHMP the City proposed to construct an all-weather roadway on Vista Chino between Gene Autry and Cathedral City side. The City has received the first $10.6 million of the project from the California Department of Transportation to begin the engineer design and environmental studies of the project. The total cost is of the project is $95 million. The bridge will be 2,310 feet long and 94 feet wide with two lanes in each direction and a center median. The City’s Engineering Department is managing the project and is working on obtaining further State and Federal funds to bring this project to completion.

7.4 FUTURE MITIGATION STRATEGIES
The City of Palm Springs future mitigation strategies are the following:
• Continue to pursue securing funding to complete the projects identified in the Capital Improvement Plan
• Actively pursue mitigation items listed in the General Plan • All weather road across from Indian Canyon between Tramview Road and Palm Springs Station Road
• Replace the South Palm Canyon Road Bridge over Tahquitz Creek • Incorporate the LHMP into the General Plan during the next update • The City will incorporate a wide range of community involvement in planning and mitigation strategies to ensure all demographics are considered including all access and functional needs communities.

SECTION 8.0 - PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE

PROCESS

The City of Palm Springs Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Department will monitor, evaluate, and update the plan as necessary on a yearly basis . The City Emergency Management Coordinator will conduct a complete update every five years.

The updated version will be submitted to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) to be incorporated into the Multi -Jurisdictional Plan as an Annex.

Riverside EMD will then submit the final updated Multi -Jurisdictional Plan to Cal- OES and FEMA.

The evaluations will be following criteria:
• Assess effectiveness of goals and objectives through implemented policies, ordinances and mitigation actions.

Item 1H - Page 79
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS-PART I-ANNEX 72

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 2023
• After each disaster declaration the LHMP will be evaluated to identify mitigation opportunities that can be implemented during the recovery phase. Also, as part of the After Action Review determine if any of the identifiable strategies affect the LHMP and if the plan needs to be updated.
• After an incident that occurred in an area not previously identified for that type of hazard.
• The completion of a hazard mitigation project.
• If reduction in resources previously allocated to a mitigation project occurs.

SECTION 9.0 - INCORPORATION INTO EXISTING PLANNING

MECHANISMS

The City of Palm Springs has several planning mechanisms which incorporate the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The City’s Emergency Management Coordinator will work in coordination with other City departments, Riverside County agencies, and other stakeholder groups to ensure mitigation strategies are planned, developed, and incorporated.
• The City’s General Plan Section 6: Safety Element.
• The Fire Department-Office of Emergency Management’s Mission Statement • Land Zoning and Use Planning
• City of Palm Springs Municipal Code: Chapter 8.68 - Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
• City of Palm Springs Municipal Code Chapter 8.70 - Stormwater Management and Discharge Controls
• Adopted 2019 California Building Code on January 9, 2020 and effective February 1, 2020 - Building Code
• Adopted Ordinance 1739 on March 12, 2008 - Flood Plain ordinance • Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), 2012
• Comprehensive General Plan for the Palm Springs completed in 2007 • NFIP/CRS Community No. 060257
• FEMA Flood Insurance Study, 2018

The City of Palm Springs has a Safety Element in its General Plan that includes a discussion of fire, earthquake, flooding, and landslide hazards. During the next General Plan update, care will be taken to incorporate mitigation planning and actions from the HMP. The City also participates in the National Flood Insurance Program which aims to reduce losses through flood plain management.

There was minimal integration of the 2018 plan due to a gap in emergency management personnel. The City did not have emergency management staff from 2018 through August 2019. New emergency management staff have slowly made progress, but this progress was hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

SECTION 10.0 - CONTINUED PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

After the City goes through the Scheduled Plan Maintenance Process, we will notify the public of any changes in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by posting a notice on the City webpage.

The City will also maintain a flyer on its website explaining what LHMP is and whom to contact if the public has questions.

The City will maintain ongoing communication with the community through the Organized Neighborhoods of Palm Springs (ONE-PS) at monthly meetings and annual emergency preparedness meetings.

The City will also discuss the plan during all Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) courses.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

American Forensic Nurses, Inc. is a sole source provider of these services , which is allowed by Title 7 Section 7.05.020 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2024; however, prices have increased, the Department is utilizing more services, and additional funds are needed to cover the cost of services through the remainder of the current contract term. Staff desires to continue utilizing these services and requests approval for a two-year extension of the existing agreement.

Therefore, staff recommends approval for a two-year extension to the agreement and an additional amount of $150,000 for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $225,000 for phlebotomist services.
