The Town Center Phase 1 Master Infrastructure of Section 31 (Catino) includes the interior streets, Gallery View Way, Illustration Way, and Painted Shore Drive, 556 parking spaces, landscape, and related site improvements to support the first phase of development within the Catino Town Center .

BACKGROUND
Section 31 consists of roughly one square mile of undeveloped land located centrally in the heart of the Coachella Valley . In 1977, the site was sold by the Annenberg Estate to investors which fractured sole ownership of the property into a 60/40 split. In 1993, The Eagle Specific Plan ("The Eagle") was adopted for the project site . The Eagle proposed a golf course community of approximately 650 acres, which included associated residential, recreational, and commercial uses within the project area. Due to financing challenges and bankruptcy of one of the property's former owners , Section 31 never developed, and The Eagle Specific Plan was never implemented and eventually superseded as part of the 2005 General Plan Update .

In 2017, the current owner, EC Rancho Mirage Holdings Limited Partnership , entered into a contract to purchase Section 31 and began negotiations with the Annenberg Foundation Trust to amend the Covenant Agreement originally executed in 1977 . The Covenant Agreement was amended in December of 2017 and was recorded on the property as the First Amended and Restated Covenant Agreement (DOC #2018 -0115512). In early 2018, the purchase of Section 31 was completed, and shortly thereafter, in May of 2018, an application for the Section 31 Specific Plan was submitted .

The Section 31 Specific Plan ("Specific Plan") was adopted by ordinance by the City Council on December 5, 2019, with the second reading of the ordinance occurring on December 19 , 2019.

The Specific Plan allows the development of a mixed-use community including the following:
resort hotels , a mixed-use town center, residential neighborhoods, a private street system, and recreational open space amenities .

The Specific Plan would enable the development of up to 175,000 square feet of combined office, restaurant, and neighborhood commercial uses, a combined total of 1,932 residential units and hotel -branded residential units, and up to 400 hotel keys. The Specific Plan established four planning areas and three categories of land uses, including the Lagoon (LAG), Mixed -Use Core (M-U CORE), and Residential (RES). The Planning Areas would include a Town Center, along with three separate residential areas. The master plan is designed for sequential construction in multiple phases, corresponding to the infrastructure and product designs for individual Planning Areas and land use types.

On November 4, 2021, the City Council approved the Final Map for Tract Map No . 37856, known as Phase 1 A, for the subdivision of 201 .89 gross acres into 329 residential lots and associated infrastructure located at the southeast corner of Bob Hope Drive and Gerald Ford Drive . The tract map for Phase 1A was subsequently recorded with Riverside County on December 15, 2021.

On July 2022, a Minor Modification Application Permit Case No . MOD22 -0009 was approved by the City for the refinement of the conceptual land use and circulation plans in the Town Center Planning Area located in the northeast quadrant of Section 31. The modification area is in the Planning Commission Staff Report AGENDA ITEM#

Mixed Use Core/Town Center Planning Area to replace one hotel ("Hotel 1" in the Specific Plan Conceptual Land Use Exhibit) from the Town Center Planning Area with a mix of residential lot types, such as Residential Conventional and Residential Cluster lot types . The Specific Plan allows administrative review of minor modifications, such as changes to the distribution, configuration , and location of residential units within or between Planning Areas, so long as the modifications are consistent with the purpose and intent of the Specific Plan [Section 31 Specific Plan Section 5.12.4 Amendment]. The project site is within the Town Center Planning Area.

On September 1, 2022 , the City Council approved Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 38291, known as Phases 1 B and 1 C, for the subdivision 70.44 acres into 187 single-family residential lots, 4 remainder lots, as well as lots for open space, recreation, private streets, and a CVWD well site.

The Tract Map No . 38291 was subsequently recorded with Riverside County on July 12, 2023 .

A set of design guidelines (Preliminary Development Plan Case No . PDP22-0005) for single - family detached residences in the Cotino development was approved by the City Council on July 6, 2023 .

On October 3, 2023, a Minor Modification Application (Case No. MOD23-0032) was submitted to refine the conceptual land use and circulation plans in 1) the Mixed Use Core/Town Center Planning Area located in the northeast quadrant of Section 31, and 2) the Grand Oasis Promenade. The modifications were proposed in anticipation of a staff operations building and parking area and a refined circulation plan for the pathways surrounding the lagoon . The Specific Plan allows administrative review of minor modifications, such as changes to the distribution, configuration, and location of residential units within or between Planning Areas, so long as the modifications are consistent with the purpose and intent of the Specific Plan [Section 31 Specific Plan Section 5.12.4 Amendment]. The Minor Modification Application was approved as the proposed modifications remain compatible with adjacent uses and is still consistent with the approved Specific Plan .

As of the date of this report, there are various building permits issued for the Specific Plan area, including, but not limited to, the Cotino sales center, perimeter walls, Gerald Ford Drive gatehouse, and a restroom facility for the age -qualified park . The Engineering Division has several permits issued for grading and street improvements.

Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning, and Land Uses The Section 31 Specific Plan area is bounded by Gerald Ford Drive to the north, Monterey Avenue to the east, Frank Sinatra Drive to the south, and Bob Hope Drive to the west and is currently undergoing subdivision improvements .

The General Plan and Zoning designation of the subject property is Mixed Use (M-U) and is within the Section 31 Specific Plan . The project site is within the Town Center Planning Area located at the northeast quadrant of the Specific Plan .

The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property:

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The previously approved project (Tentative Tract Map No. 33329 and Environmental Assessment Case No. EA050030) for a nine-lot single-family residential subdivision was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council adopted a Negative Declaration on May 4, 2006. A Notice of Determination was filed with the Riverside County Clerk on March 31, 2006. Circumstances have not significantly changed in the project or in its vicinity. Pursuant to Section 15162, no further consideration is required. Based on Environmental Assessment Case No. EA050030, the City prepared and filed an Initial Study and a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project. A Notice of Availability for the Negative Declaration was filed on May 4, 2006 with the Riverside County Clerk after the Tentative Tract Map received approval from the City Council.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) provides that when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that there are new significant environmental effects due to a change in the project or circumstances, and there is no new information of substantial importance as identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). The proposed project is a request to construct nine single-family residences on Tract 33320. The project consists of three plan types and ranges in size from 4,500 to 4,900 square feet.

September 20, 2023
The applicant, Jacqueline Park, is requesting approval of a Preliminary Development Plan application to construct nine single-family residences on Tract No. 33329 along Nova Lane, a gated private street within the subdivision. The project consists of three plan types, with detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and range in size from 4,500 to 4,900 square feet. The proposed plan types and ADUs are designed desert modern architectural style. Front yard landscaping is also included as part of the project.

BACKGROUND
The subject property is located in Section 30, which is bounded on the north by Dinah Shore Drive, on the south by Gerald Ford Drive, on the east by Monterey Avenue, and on the west by Bob Hope Drive. The west half of Section 30 was annexed from the County of Riverside to the City in 1994. A Master Circulation Plan for Section 30 was approved in 1999 with the intent to address drainage constraints and traffic issues, and was last amended on December 18, 2014, for the realignment of Via Florencia. The subject property is also subject to the Section 30 Design Guidelines, which contain provisions for enhanced landscaped parkways, walls, vehicular access gates, and subdivision entrances. The City Council last amended the Design Guidelines in 2009.

Tentative Tract Map 33329 was originally approved by the City Council on May 4, 2006 and received one-year time extensions on July 17, 2008, June 21, 2018 and June 6, 2019. The Tentative Tract Map was kept entitled through the various Senate and Assembly bills passed by the California Legislation.

DATE: October 26, 2023 EA22-0016 & PDP22-0003 Page 3 of 19 JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:

The City Council approved a one-year Extension of Time for Tentative Tract Map 33329 (TTM3X33329) in 2019 and the Final Map was recorded in 2022. In 2021, staff approved Minor Modification Application Permit Case No. MOD21-0053 for landscape changes to the original Tract 33329.

Subdivision Design
A rough grading permit was approved for Tract 33329, with current conditions as a partially graded site with soil stabilizer on the exposed vacant lot. The sole entrance into the project will extend east from Via Josefina to an offset cul-de-sac, providing access to all lots. Entry dimensions are generous and conform to our standard design template for double lane, residential entry and exit lane widths, and vehicle stacking distance standards. Tract 33329 complied with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance when it was originally approved in 2006 and extended in 2008 . Ordinance 1086 was adopted on November 6, 2014, which comprised of a City initiated Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) that changed the minimum lot sizes in the R- H, R-M, R-L-2 and R-L-3 zones . The approved lot sizes range from 15,014 square feet to 17,120 square feet and do not meet the current minimum lot size for the (Very Low Density Residential) R-L-2 zone; however, it was determined that because the previous applicant submitted their project well before the City initiated ZTA was adopted, the tract map would not be subject to the revised lot sizes . The approved tentative tract map meets the lot size requirements under the previous development code .

The original tentative tract map was approved prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 1086 in November 2014 . Ordinance No . 1086 revised the minimum lot size required under the Very Low Density Residential (R-L -2) zoning designation from 15,000 square feet to 18,000 square feet.

Currently, six of the nine lots do not meet the current minimum lot size for the R-L-2 zoning district; however, it was determined that because the original subdivider submitted their project well before the adoption of Ordinance No. 1086, they would not be subject to the revised lot sizes . The current lot sizes range from 15,014 to 17, 120 square feet for an overall project density of 1.88 units per acre .

The approved and recorded tract map meets the lot size requirements under the previous development code. The following table compares Tract 33329 with the City's Development Code standards in the Very Low Density Residential (R -L-2) zoning designation:

Development Feature Development Standards Tract 33329
Parcel Width Minimum 90 ft . Minimum 109 ft .

Parcel Depth Minimum 100 ft. Minimum 130 ft .

Lot Size Minimum 18,000 sq . ft . Minimum 15,014 sq . ft .

Maximum Density 2 dwelling units per acre 1.88 units per acre Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The General Plan and zoning designation of the project site is R-L-2 (Very Low Density Residential).

ANALYSIS
Review Authority (Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Section 17 .34.010) The proposed project requires City Council review and approval of a Preliminary Development Plan (PDP). The development plan application requires City Council approval. Therefore, the Planning Commission's role in this matter is to forward a recommendation to the City Council for the discretionary entitlement described below.

Development Plan Permit (RMMC Chapter 17.42)
The purpose of Development Plan Permit is to establish consistency with the General Plan and protect the integrity and character of the residential and commercial areas of the city. The process ensures that new development yields a pleasant living environment and attracts the interest of residents and visitors as the result of consistent design.

Site Plan and Project Design
The applicant is proposing mid-century modern architectural designs inspired by minimalism and geometric works for their development plan. The project proposes three plan types . All homes will have a minimum of a two-car garage, with the exception of Lots 2 and 3 (Plan Type A), which will have a three-car side-loading garage. Each home consists of a large open living space focused on the indoor/outdoor connection, a large independent main suite, two additional bedrooms in various layouts and large kitchen area. Detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are proposed in the rear yard for all plan types and are between 500 to 680 square feet. The detached ADUs are no taller than 12' from finished grade.

The table below shows the plan type, square footage, and lot coverage proposed for each lot:

Plan Type A -Lots 2 & 3
Plan Type A is narrow and deep to match the geometry of lots 2 and 3. Floor plans are mirrored to create fac;:ade differentiation and further variation is included with the use of stone and wood.

Condition of Approval #12 requires abutting lots with the same plan type to provide further differentiation in the use of colors or materials . Plan Type A proposes a 3,480 square-foot home with a 680 square-foot ADU and a three-car garage at 740 square feet. The adjusted lot coverage is proposed at approximately 29% for both lots. The proposed maximum height is 16 feet 6 inches.

Plan Type B -Lot 7
Plan Type Bis only proposed for Lot 7. The proposed home's design will follow a desert modern architectural style, which is a style that is defined by its sleek design and low-profile roofs that blend into the desert environment. The stone, stucco and wood create a desert-appropriate home. The proposed maximum height is 16 feet 6 inches. This plan type proposes a 3,465- square-foot home with a 540-square-foot ADU and a 504-square-foot two-car garage . The proposed lot coverage is just under 30%.

Plan Type C -Lots 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9
Plan Type C is the most common type due to the similar composition of the subject lots. Abutting lots have mirrored floor plans and different combinations of the front fac;:ade with the use of the proposed stone and wood to provide further interest to the future neighborhood. Condition of Approval #12 will require the applicant to propose varied front elevations and color schemes for abutting lots. Plan Type C proposes a 3,460 square-foot home with a 680 square-foot ADU and a two-car garage at 605 square feet. Lot coverage is proposed at approximately 28%. As with the other plan types, the maximum building height is proposed at 16 feet 6 inches.

As set forth in the below analysis, the proposed project is in conformance with the Rancho Mirage General Plan, the Section 30 Master Circulation Plan and Design Guidelines, and development standards for the R-L-2 Zoning District.

Each scheme will have distinct architectural accents, such as limestone wall veneer, fixed glass over stucco, and painted metal louvers . The colors and materials palettes are not limited to specific plan types, and the developer or buyer can select the colors and finishes, allowing for customization throughout the development.

Access and Circulation
The residential subdivision will be gated, similarly to other residential developments in the vicinity. Access to the lots will be provided by the 38 -foot -wide, private street, Nova Lane, off Via Josefina, a public street. Typical public streets in Section 30 are classified under the City's General Plan as local streets. Local streets consist of two lanes with a typical right-of-way width of 60 feet. The private street will be maintained by the future Homeowners' Association.

Grading & Drainage
Pad elevations and drainage patterns were established with the approval of Tentative Tract Map 33329 . All proposed single -family lots will drain into the on-site private street, then flow to collect in the combination inlets, and directed to the retention basin system at the end of the cul -de-sac .

The project site is rectangular shaped (elongated in the west-east direction) and is relatively flat- lying, with drainage tending from the west to east. The elevation ranges from 327.33 feet to 322.00 feet with the bottom of the retention basin (Common Lot C) being 314 feet. The landscaped retention basin will be open without fencing.

Landscaping
The project's entry design and parkway landscaping off Via Josefina were established with the approval of Tentative Tract Map 33329 . The common area landscape plan and entry were previously amended in 2021 to update the planting palette and materials under Minor Modification Case No . MOD21 -0053.

The parkway features a desert-appropriate landscape palette and a typical six -foot wide "Yosemite Brown" colored concrete meandering sidewalk in accordance with the Design Guidelines. Common area landscaping includes Mulga trees and palms, along with various accent shrubs, such as agave, for color. Groundcover will consist of crushed rock and pebble installed to a minimum depth of 3 inches . The project has been designed to comply with the City's landscape standards and the Section 30 Design Guidelines for landscaping and parkway improvements .

Front Yard Typicals
As a part of this development plan submittal, front yard typicals for the residential units are provided . The front landscapes feature lineal planting arrangements related to the project's architectural theme and feature desert-appropriate plantings. Canopy trees, such as the Mulga, Palo Verde trees are proposed along with varying palm tree species. The plant palette remains consistent throughout the development with a varied selection of desert-appropriate plantings to soften the hardscape. The project meets the minimum landscaping mix required by the City's landscape development standards. Concrete driveways and other paved areas will be a natural sand finish to complement the development.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW WORKING GROUP
On October 11, 2023, the proposed project was presented to the Architectural Review Working Group (ARWG). Staff provided an overview of the project and opened the discussion. The applicant's team shared a presentation on the overall project concept and expanded on the proposed plan types . The ARWG raised questions regarding the proposed materials, roof and siding considerations and proposed a passive separation between main home and the ADU to allow for privacy. The questions related to the materials and roof design will be addressed upon the submittal of the Final Development Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The previously approved project (Tentative Tract Map No. 33329 and Environmental Assessment Case No . EA050030) for a nine-lot single-family residential subdivision was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council adopted a Negative Declaration on May 4, 2006. A Notice of Determination was filed with the Riverside County Clerk on March 31, 2006. Circumstances have not significantly changed in the project or in its vicinity . Pursuant to Section 15162, no further consideration is required.

Based on Environmental Assessment Case No. EA050030, the City prepared and filed an Initial Study and a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project. A Notice of Availability for the Negative Declaration was filed on May 4, 2006 with the Riverside County Clerk after the Tentative Tract Map received approval from the City Council CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) provides that when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that there are no new significant environmental effects due to a change in the project or circumstances, and there is no new information of substantial importance as identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). The proposed project is a request to construct nine single-family residences on Tract 33320 . The project consists of three plan types and ranges in size from 4,500 to 4,900 square feet. With respect to the proposed project. The current request does not propose to amend the project boundaries, uses, or development intensities of the original approval.

Public Comments -None.

Ms . Tsai confirmed that any future request would need to be reviewed by the appropriate approving body.

Commissioner Chanter commented that it was a stroke of genius to design and name one building after the "Parr House" in relationship to the lncredibles 2 movie. She expressed her initial concerns relating to security and parking. She encouraged Disney to screen their parking lots.

Vice Chair Agostini commented that the project is beautiful. He expressed concern about the impact of sand erosion with the beach and asked about how that would be addressed. He also asked about the type of events that would be held at the Clubhouse Campus and Parr House, and if there were any restrictions or capacity limits.

Majna Dukie, Development Services Director, responded to Vice Chair Agostini's questions and concerns. She noted that the lagoon will have a filtration system that will be utilized on a daily basis. She noted that the Parr House is proposed as an additional amenity for club members only . Any events would be limited to the club members and their guests, and the clubhouse and Parr House is not accessible to the public.

CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Council Members
Mayor Pro Tern Steve Downs
Council Member Ted Weill
DATE: November 16, 2023
FROM:

SUBJECT: City Council Vacancy Due to Resignation of Mayor Richard W. Kite

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

A) Elect to appoint a qualified Rancho Mirage resident to fill the vacancy created by Council Member Richard W. Kite's resignation for the remainder of his unexpired term; 8) Approve the attached City Council Appointment Application form; C) Require that a complete application must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office on or before 5:00 P.M. on November 30, 2023, in order to be considered by the City Council; and
D) Schedule interviews for December 5, 2023, in the context of a City Council Special Meeting duly called by the Mayor, and include the vacancy item on future City Council meeting agendas until the vacancy is filled.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
Mayor Richard W. Kite, whose term expires in November 2024, resigned from the City Council effective November 17, 2023, creating a vacancy on the Rancho Mirage City Council.

A subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Pro Tern Downs and Council Member Weill, was formed to determine the options available to fill the vacant seat and to submit a recommendation to the City Council on how best to move forward.

The subcommittee reviewed the options available to fill the vacancy and determined that, pursuant to Government Code Section 36512, subd. (b), if a vacancy occurs on the City Council, the City Council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy.

AGENDA ITEM#

DATE: November 16, 2023
City Council Vacancy
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:

Page 2 of 2 ends

The subcommittee concurred that it was appropriate to appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy created by Mayor Kite's resignation for the remainder of the unexpired term. This approach will avoid the expense of a special election that would result in filling the vacancy for a relatively short period of time before the seat would be up for election again on November 5, 2024.

In other words, whether the vacancy is filled by appointment or special election, it would be on the ballot in November 2024.

The subcommittee also prepared the attached City Council Appointment Application form which applicants would be required to complete and submit to the City Clerk's Office should the City Council opt to appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

RECOMMENDATION:

After reviewing the options available to fill a vacancy on the City Council and discussing possible timelines, the subcommittee recommends that the City Council:

A) Elect to appoint a qualified Rancho Mirage resident to fill the vacancy created by Mayor Kite's resignation for the remainder of his unexpired term; 8) Approve the attached City Council Appointment Application form; C) Require that a complete application must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office on or before 5:00 P.M. on November 30, 2023, in order to be considered by the City Council; and
E) Schedule interviews for December 5, 2023, in the context of a City Council Special Meeting duly called by the Mayor, and include the vacancy item on future City Council meeting agendas until the vacancy is filled.
