Consideration of Transitioning to Electric Vehicles
DATE
ITEM #
July 17, 2025
CONSENT CALENDAR - 5F.
Presented To
Presented By
Mayor and City Council
Jessica Pulliam, Deputy of Sustainability
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the transition of the City fleet to electric vehicles and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all necessary actions to implement this transition, including but not limited to issuing Requests for Proposals, vendor selection, approving purchases, surplus of old fleet vehicles and executing all associated agreements and documents, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2023, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved an unprecedented rule known as the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF), which mandates a phased -in transition toward zero -emission vehicles (ZEVs). This historic decision marks California as the first jurisdiction in the world to terminate traditional combustion truck sales by 2036, thus signaling the state's commitment to a sustainable future.
While ZEVs may have a higher initial purchase price than conventional vehicles, their lower operating and maintenance costs make them a sound long-term investment. As component and battery prices continue to decrease and technology advances, ZEVs' total cost of ownership has become more favorable.
For Rancho Mirage, the ACF rule has a significant impact on the City's fleet and purchasing decisions. As of 2024, The City must ensure that 50% of its carpool vehicle purchases are ZEVs, and by 2027 this grows to 100% of purchases. The City's current carpool fleet is aged and at the end of useful life- replacement vehicles are necessary.
Most City fleet vehicles have comparable electric alternatives, with the exception of certain specialized public works vehicles for which no suitable EV options currently exist. Transitioning to an electric fleet was identified as a sustainability goal during the budget process.
The City is in the final stages of expanding EV charging infrastructure at City Hall, which will serve both the City fleet and the public. Additionally, all City meters within the Rancho Mirage Energy Authority (RMEA) have been enrolled in the 100% Green Choice rate since May 2018, ensuring that City fleet vehicles charged on -site use 100% renewable energy. This transition marks the next step in the City's ongoing effort to reduce its carbon footprint.
20 FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is not to exceed the approved budget. 21 City Council Staff Report
Donation of Surplus Automated License Plate Recognition Equipment DATE
ITEM #
July 17, 2025
CONSENT CALENDAR - 5G.
Presented To
Presented By
Mayor and City Council
Tyler Fowlkes, Senior Management Analyst
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -(Next -in -Order), Authorizing the Donation of Surplus Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Equipment to the City of Riverside Police Department.
DISCUSSION
The City previously used ALPR cameras supplied by Vigilant; however, Rancho Mirage transitioned to a new ALPR technology provider. The existing Vigilant cameras require a proprietary license to function, which the City no longer maintains. Consequently, the equipment is inoperable in its current state and cannot be used or repurposed internally.
ASSET OVERVIEW
Staff have reviewed the equipment and identified ten (10) ALPR cameras eligible for disposal via donation. The breakdown of camera assets is as follows:
Year of Purchase Quantity Estimated Asset Value (Depreciated) 2022 3 $5,100 each
2023 7 $8,760 each
Total estimated value: $76,620 (for reporting purposes only; no fiscal impact)
JUSTIFICATION FOR DONATION
• End of Useful Life: Without a valid license, the equipment cannot function, rendering it obsolete for City use. • Security Compliance: The Information Services Department has confirmed that all necessary data has been securely removed from the hardware in compliance with best practices. • Beneficial Use: The Riverside Police Department maintains an active contract with Vigilant and can effectively repurpose the equipment. This donation will su2gt regional law enforcement collaboration and indirectly
benefit Rancho Mirage through improved ALPR coverage in surrounding areas.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City as a result of this donation.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the donation of the ten surplus Vigilant ALPR cameras to the Riverside Police Department and authorize staff to complete the necessary documentation in accordance with the City's asset disposal procedures.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Ian Lasley, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: July 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Award of Contract -Solar Maintenance Agreement -Hoffman Electric, Inc.
Background:
The City has solar panels at City HaII, Library and Corporate Yard facilities. The City recently purchased the solar systems from Nobel Energy for City Hall and the Corporate Yard in November of 2024 while continuing the lease agreement for the Library solar system. With the purchase of the two solar systems, Public Works is responsible for the maintenance and repairs needed to maintanin optimal performance.
Hoffman Electric, Inc. is the preferred vendor for Nobel Energy and is currently performing maintenance at the Library for Nobel Energy. Hoffman Electric, Inc. has in-depth knowledge of the systems at City Hall and the Corporate Yard as the preferred vendor for Nobel Energy previously. In addition, Hoffman Electric, Inc. has a full understanding of the onsite hardware and online software responsible for reporting solar production, faults, remote monitoring, software upgrades to solar hardware and offsite troubleshooting.
Discussion:
Hoffman Electric, Inc. has been the sole vendor performing maintenance for Nobel Energy on all citywide solar systems from initial installations. It is imperative to have a contractor with a deep knowledge base of our systems to perform monitoring and maitnenace of the solar system at City Hall and Corporate Yard to ensure optimal performance and maximum return on investment. Hoffman Electric, Inc. also carries various parts in stock unique to our system that would otherwise need to be ordered from other vendors, causing significant delays and decreased photovoltaic production.
Fiscal Impact:
FY 25-26: Hoffman Electric, Inc. contract is for a one-year term with three automatic extensions for solar system maintenance at City Hall and Corporate Yard. The total cost annually for the contract is $36,200.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Stephan Longoria P.E., City Engineer
DATE: July 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Approval of a Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Palm Desert to jointly fund and manage the 2024-2025 Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program as it relates to Park View Drive and Highway 111.
Background:
In June of 2025, the City of Palm Desert notified staff of its intent to repair the bridge on Highway 111 north of Park View Drive. The bridge is located at the city boundary on Highway 111 and is shared with the City of Palm Desert (vicinity map attached).
Caltrans inspects bridges regularly and provides recommendations. In addition, the City of Palm Desert consulted with Dokken Engineering to prepare a Bridge Preventative Maintenance Plan Report to prioritize various bridge repairs within Palm Desert. This project was the second highest ranked bridge needing repair. The City of Palm Desert sent the plans and cost estimate for review along with the detailed Caltrans bridge report. Staff inspected the bridge and noticed the same conditions and agreed with the treatment approach. The bridge shows signs of rust and corrosion (recent bridge pictures attached).
The project is aimed at finding and sealing all cracks to minimize any future corrosion within the bridge. Continued inspection will be needed in the future to ensure the corrosion and cracks are not progressing.
The proposed project will remove the existing hot mix asphalt over the bridge, inspect the bridge deck, treat the bridge with a resin, and repave the section on the bridge and adjacent to the bridge abutments to ensure a similar road smoothness. The City of Palm Desert offered to take the lead on this project through a reimbursement agreement between both agencies. The cost breakdown (attached) indicates the City of Rancho Mirage's portion of the project is approximately 24% of the overall scope. The proposed agreement would authorize staff to reimburse the City of Palm Desert for actual construction costs and administrative expenses. Our staff would also inspect and review the project as construction occurs.
30 Fiscal Impact:
Staff is requesting approval of a Service Agreement in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00. Funds are available in 224 (Gas Tax) and/or 236 (Measure A) for this expenditure.

32 3. RECENT BRIDGE PICTURES
Pictures show the bridge soffit cracks with efflorescence. The brownish discoloration is of most concern since that typically is indicitive of potential corrosion of the steel reinforcing bar.
The bridge deck is currently under two inches of hot mix asphalt. This project would remove the asphalt layer, inspect the bridge, treat the bridge surface with a special resin designed to seal cracks and prohibit the intrusion of moisture, and then repave the bridge to maintain road smoothness.

34 CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Ryan Stendell, Assistant City Manager
Charles Nesbit, Project Manager
DATE: July 17th, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Construction Agreement with Rubberized Crackfiller Sealant, Inc. in the amount of $16,333.53 related to City Project CP 25-396 Citywide Crack Seal.
Background:
On April 3rd, 2025, the City Council awarded the CP 25-396 Citywide Crack Seal project to Rubberized Crackfiller Sealant, Inc. This project crack sealing along Highway 111, Monterey Avenue, and various side streets
Discussion:
City staff requested the contractor to perform the work at night to minimize traffic impacts and potential trackout and paint damage to vehicles. Because the initial public bid did not require night work staff anticipated there would be an additional cost for mobilization and modified staffing hours. The vendor provided the City with a change order in the amount of $16,333.53 for extra costs associated with 15 days of night work. Staff believes this cost to be reasonable and are very pleased with their work and the low volume of complaints related to such a busy roadway.
Fiscal Impact:
Funds are available in 224 (Gas Tax) and/or 236 (Measure A) for this expenditure. 35 CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Ryan Stendell, Assistant City Manager
Charles Nesbit, Project Manager
DATE: July 17th, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Construction Agreement with Allied Paving in the amount of $75,000, related to the CP 23-394 Class II Bike Lane Extensions & Roadway Realignment
Background:
On November 7th, 2024, the City Council awarded the CP 23-394 Class II Bike Lane Extensions & Roadway Realignment project to Allied Paving. This project improved bicycle and pedestrian accessibility at the intersections of Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, and along Da Vali Drives.
Discussion:
During the construction of the project, it was determined that additional paving would be required to maintain a smooth road for vehicular travel. Additionally, the water flow line needed to be further modified to maintain proper watershed. Allied Paving has provided a change order in the amount of $75,000 to perform the extra work.
The added work occurred at two unique locations and enhanced safety for all users.
Both locations are good examples of field conditions that cannot be predicted until a roadway project is underway.
Fiscal Impact:
Funds are available in Fund 34000 (Capital Improvements) for this expenditure; no additional fiscal impact is expected related to this project. 36 CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Ian Lasley, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: July 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Vintage Associates, Inc. - Landscape Extra Work Contract Background:
The City maintains a variety of landscaped areas within its jurisdiction. Landscaped areas maintained by the City include street medians, parks, fire stations, City buildings, various parkways, and assessment districts. Due to a variety of reasons extra work is required above and beyond routine maintenance. An example of such reasons could be traffic collisions, tree or plant disease, irrigation repairs, storm damage or general enhancements.
Discussion:
On March 6, 2025, the City Council approved separating the scope of work for the landscaping contract into two sections, routine maintenance and extra work. An agreement for routine maintenance was approved by the City Council on June 5, 2025, and has been executed. This contract for extra work terms will coincide with the routine maintenance contract and terminate on June 30, 2026.
Fiscal Impact:
For FY 25-26, the total cost is $160,000.00. This agreement term is one (1) year and will terminate June 30, 2026. The City budgeted for this service in the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 general fund.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM: Ian Lasley, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: July 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment of Contract- Public Works On -Call Maintenance Agreement — Willcorp Engineering
Background:
The City requires on -call blow sand removal, land leveling and earthmoving, excavating, grading, trenching, paving and surfacing work and cement and concrete for unforeseen repairs and maintenance. Urgent/emergency call out work is required at times due to general maintenance needs or weather related incidents.
Based on the complexity of government contracting, staff has found it is beneficial to have on -call agreements for recurring maintenance services to respond quickly in emergency situations.
Discussion:
Blow sand in a continual issue in the undeveloped areas on the north side of the city.
This year has been a high wind year moving the sand bank close to the roadway on Dinah Shore between Key Largo and Bob Hope. With this, staff has had to remove blow sand from the roadway by various means and has received several complaints from adjacent residents. To prevent continuous sand removal and safely maintain the roadway, staff is coordinating to remediate the blow sand bank that has formed in the area from Key Largo to Bob Hope on Dinah Shore.
Fiscal Impact:
FY 25-26 Willcorp Engineering current contract is for a one- year term. The total cost of the term contract for FY 25-26 is $45,000 ending June 30, 2026. Recommended amended amount of $85,000.00 bringing the contract total to $130,000.00. 38 City Council Staff Report

Zoning Text Amendment Case No. ZTA25-0002 — Applicant: City of Rancho Mirage. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.30 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) — Section 17.30.270 D. Penalty of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code and Resolution Incorporating a Tier Based Penalty Fee Schedule.
Location: City -Wide
DATE

PUBLIC HEARINGS - 6A.
Presented To
Presented By
Mayor and City Council
Pam Birky , Code Compliance Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Find that the adoption of the Ordinance has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, and that adoption of the Ordinance is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 because it is not a "project", and 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment because the amendments involve general policy and procedure making;
2. Introduce Ordinance No. (Next -in -Order), 1st Reading, Amending Chapter 17.30 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) — Section 17.30.270 D. Penalty of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code.
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -(Next -in -Order), Adopting a Tier -Based Schedule of Fines Regarding Violation of Short -Term Rental Regulations.
BACKGROUND
The proposed amendment introduces a tiered penalty structure for short-term rental violations in the City, based on both the number of offenses and the type of violation (operating versus advertising). While the structure adds more specificity to how penalties are assessed, it does not increase the maximum fines currently in place.
All short-term rentals are currently prohibited in the City of Rancho Mirage under Ordinance No. 1189, adopted by the City Council on October 21, 2021. The ban applies to both the operation and advertisement of short-term rentals.
A short-term rental is defined as any dwelling unit, whether in whole or in part, rented for 27 consecutive calendar days or fewer.
DISCUSSION
114
The purpose of this ordinance is to introduce an amendment to Chapter 17.30 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) — Section 17.30.270 D. (Penalty) of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code to incorporate a tier -based penalty fee schedule for short-term rentals as further detailed in the proposed ordinance and resolution. The subject ordinance and resolution are only modifying monetary regulations which are not under the purview of the Planning Commission and therefore go directly to the City Council for consideration. The changes are being proposed as part of regular Municipal Code maintenance updates which are occasionally required to update regulations as needed.
The following discusses the changes proposed as part of the Municipal Code update, see Attachment 4 (Ordinance for ZTA25-0002) and Attachment 5 (Resolution Adopting a Tier -based Schedule of Fines) for the full scope of the proposed revisions to the Municipal Code and implementation of a tier -based schedule of fines. In the Ordinance proposed additions are "bolded and underlined" and deletions have a "ctrl<cthrough." Title 17:
Section 17.30.270 D: Revises the current fee schedule, authorizing the City Council to adopt a new tier -based penalty fee schedule for short-term rental operations and advertisements via a resolution. Currently, each violation (operating or advertising) is subject to the following fines: "(1) an administrative fine in an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars for the first citation; and (2) a fine in an amount not to exceed ten thousand dollars for a second and any subsequent citation issued for the same offense within a twelve-month period of the date of the first offense."
Staff is proposing the following amendment:
For advertisement (1) an administrative fine in an amount not to exceed one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) for the first citation; and (2) a fine in an amount not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000) for a second offense within a year; and (3) a fine amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) for a third offense and any subsequent citation issued for the same offense within a twelve-month period of the date of the first offense.
For operation (1) an administrative fine in an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) for the first citation; and (2) a fine in an amount not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for a second and any subsequent citation issued for the same offense within a twelve-month period of the date of the first offense.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This Ordinance is not a "project" under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations, Section 15378, because it will not cause a direct (or reasonably foreseeable indirect) physical environmental change, but even assuming arguendo that the action is a "project" under CEQA, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to 15061(b)(3) in that the amendments involve general policy and procedure making, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Colin Kirkpatrick, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment Case No. ZTA25-0002
DATE: July 17, 2025
SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council consider and receive and file the City Attorney's Independent Analysis of the Ordinance approving Zoning Text Amendment Case No. ZTA25-0002.
Background
Since the Zoning Text Amendment requires the adoption of an ordinance, the City Attorney is required to make determinations which address whether the City has the legal authority to adopt said ordinances.
Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Section 1.04.031 (Review And Approval Of Legal Form Of Ordinances By City Attorney) provides that "[n]o ordinance shall be deemed effective unless the City Attorney determines that the City has the authority to adopt the proposed ordinance, that the proposed ordinance is constitutionally valid under the state and federal constitutions, and that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the general powers and purposes of the City, the City's Charter, ordinances approved by the voters, and any applicable federal and/or state laws." Legal Authority
Zoning Text Amendments
California's Planning and Zoning Law (California Government Code §§65000-66499.58) is the framework for local land use regulation. Every city must have a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development. Government Code §65300. Generally, City's zoning ordinances must be consistent with the City's general plan. See Government Code Section 65451. Zoning consistency with the general plan is required for all cities, including charter cities. (Government Code 65860.)
Moreover, Chapter 17.73 (General Plan, Specific Plan and Zoning Text Amendment) of the Municipal Code, in relevant part, provides procedures for initiating and processing amendments to the text of Title 17, which includes, but is not limited to: initiation of amendment by a Council member, City Manager or any Department Director; review by City attorney to make the same determinations set forth in Section 1.04.031 are made, as set forth above; and grants the City Council the authority to take certain actions at their discretion (as set forth in 17.73.030 (Procedure)).
118
Any city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with applicable state laws. Cal Const art XI, §7. The police power of a city is its right to adopt regulations designed to promote the public convenience or the general prosperity, as well as regulations designed to promote the public health, the public morals, or the public safety. Chicago, B. & Q. Ry. Co. v Illinois (1906) 200 US 561, 592, 26 S Ct 341. The exercise of police power must: 1) Be reasonably related to a legitimate governmental purpose. Birkenfeld v City of Berkeley (1976) 17 C3d 129, 158. See Consolidated Rock Prods.
Co. v City of Los Angeles (1962) 57 C2d 515, 522 (there must be reasonable basis in fact to support legislative determination of regulation's wisdom and necessity); and 2) Have a reasonable tendency to promote the public health, morals, safety, or general welfare of the community. Carlin v City of Palm Springs (1971) 14 CA3d 706, 711 (city has broad discretion in determining what is reasonable in endeavoring to protect public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of community).
Before a city may impose administrative fines or civil penalties, an enabling ordinance must establish that any person in violation of the municipal code will be liable for the administrative fine or civil penalty (See California Government Code §§ 36901, 53069.4). Moreover, charter cities may enact an ordinance that provides for penalties that differ from any statutory penalties as long as such penalties do not exceed any maximum limits set by its charter (County of Los Angeles v City of Los Angeles (1963) 219 CA2d 838, 844). Additionally, the provisions of California Constitution Article XI, Section 5(a), the "home rule" provision, affirmatively grants charter cities supremacy over "municipal affairs", i.e. a charter city is subject only to conflicting provision in the state or federal constitutions and preemptive state law on matters of statewide concern.
The proposed Ordinance does not regulate the uses of land and structures, or amend any such prior established regulations, and instead only establishes a Schedule of Fines to be established by Resolution, and is therefore outside the purview of the Planning Commission. Further, Section 17.30.270 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code was duly adopted via an ordinance which meets the requirements of California Government Code §§ 36901 and 53069.4, and the proposed ordinance is an enabling ordinance which simply amends the Municipal Code to authorize the City to adopt a schedule of fines via resolution within the existing regulatory framework.
Accordingly, the City Attorney determines that the City has the authority to adopt the proposed ordinance, that the proposed ordinance is constitutionally valid under the state and federal constitutions, and that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the general powers and purposes of the City, the City's Charter, ordinances approved by the voters, and any applicable federal and/or state laws.

A. Definition. "Short-term rental" means a dwelling unit, in whole or in part, rented for a period of twenty-seven consecutive calendar days or less, for transient dwelling, lodging, sleeping, or special event purposes, regardless of home -sharing or subletting arrangements. For the purposes of this section, rentals in exchange for non -monetary forms of compensation shall also qualify a dwelling unit as a short-term rental. Rentals of units located within city -approved hotels, motels, time-shares, and bed and breakfasts shall not be considered short-term rentals.
B. Prohibition. Operation of short-term rentals is prohibited in every zone of the city.
Operation of a short-term rental includes advertising, offering for rent, or agreeing to rent, a short-term rental, regardless of whether a person actually occupies the short- term rental. Each such action, and each day such operation persists, is a separate violation of this section.
C. Exception. Short-term rental certificates issued for 2021 shall not expire until June 30, 2022. Certificate holders for 2021 must abide by all rules and regulations applicable under the code as it read at the time the certificate was issued, and such certificates may be revoked or suspended for any reason set forth in the code at the time the certificate was issued.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A
TIER -BASED SCHEDULE OF FINES REGARDING VIOLATION OF SHORT-TERM
RENTAL REGULATIONS, AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Mirage ("City") is a charter city and a municipal corporation of the State of California, and recognized as a political subdivision of State of California for certain purpose; and
WHEREAS, upon a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025 -(Next -in -Order) (the "Enabling Ordinance"), amending Section
17.30.270 (Short -Term Rentals) of Chapter 17.30 (General Property and Use Standards) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the City of Rancho Mirage Municipal Code), providing for a schedule of fines to be established by resolution of the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City desires to establish a tier -based schedule of fines ("Schedule of Fines", as set forth in more detail in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to address the nature and extent of the underlying offense and harm caused; and
WHEREAS, the City generally prohibited short-term rentals from operating and/or advertising in the City in or around October 2021. However, the City continues to monitor and cite illegal operating and/or advertising short-term rentals; and WHEREAS, the illegal operation of short-term rentals causes significant neighborhood disruption, often leading to noise complaints, parking issues, and general nuisances, of all of which directly impact the peace and tranquility of residential neighborhoods; requires increased City resources, often requiring a response from Code Compliance officers and/or the Sheriff's Department, resulting in hours of staff time for investigation, documentation, and enforcement; increased legal and administrative costs, especially where there are repeat and/or egregious violations, requiring City Attorney time, administrative proceedings, and hearings all at the City, and therefore taxpayer's, expense; risks of large unauthorized events, where a short-term rental host holds large gatherings, parties or other events which can cause unnecessary use of public safety resources; and undermines the City's efforts towards increasing housing availability, as it results in loss of long-term housing availability, contrary to local housing goals and state mandates; and
WHEREAS, moreover, the City is located within the Coachella Valley, which holds numerous large events throughout the year, including Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Stagecoach Festival, and many sporting events and/or concerts, drawing people into the valley from around the world. As Rancho Mirage is centrally located in the Coachella Valley and has large private residences, residences in Rancho Mirage are a popular location for large illegal gatherings. Many of these large illegal gatherings pay tremendous sums of money to rent these properties, sometimes illegally offered at an hourly rate; and
1 125
WHEREAS, illegal advertising of short-term rentals additionally poses harm.
However, the City desires to provide a tier -based schedule of fines, with reduced fines for illegal advertising, as the advertising itself does not result in noise, public safety risks, or direct disruptions to the neighborhood; and enforcement is largely administrative, often only requiring documentation, enforcement and monitoring for compliance, but not extensive field response or use of the Sheriff's department. Therefore, the City desires a lesser fine for illegal advertising violations to encourage voluntary compliance prior to resulting in illegal operation, which allows the City to deter violations proactively, supports proportional enforcement associated with the harm; and may result in fewer administrative hearings, which would result in less administrative enforcement costs; and WHEREAS, accordingly, illegal operation and/or advertising of short-term rentals poses harm, with operation of short-term rentals posing more significant harm. As such, the City desires to address the harm through a tier -based schedule of fines, with fines commensurate with the associated harm, in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, charter cities may enact an ordinance that provides for penalties that differ from any statutory penalties as long as such penalties do not exceed any maximum limits set by its charter (County of Los Angeles v City of Los Angeles (1963) 219 CA2d 838, 844).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. RECITALS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE.
That the recitals set forth above are true and correct and any and all documents referenced herein are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. APPROVE AND ADOPT SCHEDULE OF FINES
That the City Council hereby adopts and approves the Schedule of Fines set forth in Exhibit "A".
SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
That the City finds this action exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378; and pursuant to 15061(b)(3), because approval of the action does not have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 5. SEVERABILITY.
That the City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or word of this Resolution or Schedule of Fines be rendered or declared invalid 126
by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences or words of this Resolution as hereby adopted shall remain in full force and effect.

1. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2025 -(NEXT -IN -ORDER), ADOPTING AND APPROVING THE
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (SCH#2025050959) FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CASE NO. EA25-0002; AND
2. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2025 -(NEXT -IN -ORDER), APPROVING PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN CASE NO. PDP25-0002 REGARDING THE PROPOSED RANCHO MIRAGE AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS.
MOTION CARRIED 4/0
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CASE NO. EA25-0002
The proposed project was reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and an Initial Study determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was appropriate due to potentially significant impacts to biological, cultural, and tribal cultural resources, all of which are fully mitigated through project conditions. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared to ensure compliance during construction.
As part of Assembly Bill 52 tribal consultation, the City contacted 16 tribes and received a formal request from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, resulting in the inclusion of mitigation measures for tribal monitoring, cultural sensitivity training, and procedures for the discovery of resources.
The public review period for the MND closed on June 30, 2025 and only one comment letter was received. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife provided their comment letter on June 27, 2025, and a formal Response to Comments is provided as Attachment 12.
Public Noticing
In compliance with the with RMMC Section 17.74.020, a Notice of Public Hearing was mailed on July 2, 2025, to all property owners within a 1,000 -foot radius of the subject property boundary, as identified on the most recent equalized Riverside County Assessor's roll. In the event fewer than 25 individual property owners are located within 500 feet, the Code requires the mailing radius to be extended to 1,000 feet. Public notices were sent to property owners within a 1,000 -foot radius.
The notice was also published in The Desert Sun newspaper on Sunday, July 6, 2025, a publication of general circulation within the Coachella Valley. Additionally, the public notice was posted at three locations as required by law: Rancho Mirage City Hall, the Rancho Mirage Library & Observatory, and the City's official website. 131

FIRE MARSHAL
Fire Apparatus Access Roads
69. Fire apparatus access roads, commonly referred to as fire lanes, shall be provided for every facility or building when any portion of an exterior wall of the first story is located more than 150 feet from a public roadway, as measured along an approved route. Extenuating circumstances, increased hazards, and additional fire safety features as deemed necessary by RVCFD may affect these requirements. For additional information related to residential tract development.
A) Fire Apparatus Access Road Design - Roadways must be engineered to support emergency response apparatus. Roadways must be designed to facilitate turning radii of apparatus and meet requirements for gradient, height clearance, and width. Specific criteria pertaining to the design of fire apparatus access roadways are detailed below.
Required Number of Fire Apparatus Access Roads:
70.A) One access will be required where any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of a building is located more than 150 feet from a fire access roadway. The required access distance is to be measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building.
1) Location of Fire Apparatus Access Roads:
For purposes of determining the suitability of public roads and fire apparatus access roadways for staging fire apparatus and facilitating fire suppression operations for a particular structure, the following criteria shall apply:
a) To protect fire apparatus, personnel, and equipment from damage and injury from falling debris, the edge of fire access roadways serving buildings shall be EA25-0002 & PDP25-0002 Page 14 of 19
147 _
EA25-0002 & PDP25-0002 Page 15 of 19
located between 15 and 40 feet from the building, or as otherwise determined by Riverside County Fire. These distances are measured from the face of the building to the top edge of the curb face or rolled curb flow line nearest the structure. This road shall be positioned parallel to the building.
2) Width of Fire Access Roads - The minimum width of a fire access roadway is 24 feet, unless as approved by Riverside County Fire. Where a center median is included within the roadway, the required width shall be provided on both sides of the median. The width of fire department access roads is measured from top face of the curb to top face of the curb on streets with standard vertical curbs and gutters, and from flow line to flow line on streets with rolled, sloped, flared, or other non -vertical curb and gutter configurations. Flow line is the lowest continuous elevation on a curb. Road sections and curb details or approved city street improvement plans may be required to verify method of measurement. 3) Parking Restrictions - Parking is not permitted on roadways that are less than 28 feet in width. Parking on one side is permitted on a roadway that is at least 28 feet but less than 36 feet in width. Parking on two sides is permitted on a roadway 36 feet or more in width.
4) Vertical Clearance - Fire access roads shall have an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches. If trees are located adjacent to the fire access roadway, place a note on the plans stating that all vegetation overhanging the fire access roadway shall be maintained to provide a clear height of 13 feet 6 inches at all times.
5) Fire Apparatus Access Road Grade - The grade for access roads shall not exceed 15%. Cross -slope shall not be greater than 2.5% for paved access roadways.
6) Inside and Outside Turning Radii - The inside turning radius for an access road shall be 17 feet or greater. The outside turning radius for an access road shall be 38 feet or greater. As fire apparatus are unable to negotiate tight "S" curves, a 56 - foot straight leg must be provided between these types of compound turns or the radii and/or road width must be increased accordingly.
7) Dead-end Access Roadways - Dead-end roadways in excess of 150 feet shall be designed and constructed with approved turnarounds or hammerheads.
Turnarounds shall meet the turning radius requirements identified above. The minimum cul-de-sac radius is 38 feet with no parking allowed.
Obstructions to Emergency Vehicle Access
71. Existing or proposed gates and barriers crossing fire apparatus access roadways must be shown on the plans. Information such as the location, type of gate (e.g., swinging, sliding), dimensions, type of construction, and method of operation (manual, electric) must also be provided. Note or identify the following:
EA25-0002 & PDP25-0002 Page 15 of 19
148 _
EA25-0002 & PDP25-0002 Page 16 of 19
A) Clear Width — Gated openings for egress and ingress of vehicles shall not be less than 24 feet clear width. Gates serving a single direction of travel shall not be less than 12 feet clear width. The vertical clearance shall not be less than 13 feet 6 inches, including landscaping and/or trees. This reduction in width is applicable only to the area immediately adjacent to the guardhouse or gate.
Roads leading up to and beyond the guard house or gate shall meet standard fire lane width requirements.
B) Turning Radii - The minimum inside turning radius is 17 feet with an outside radius of 38 feet for both the exterior and the interior approach to the gate.
C) Setbacks from the Street - Gates and barriers shall be located a minimum of 56 feet from any public roadway.
D) Setbacks from First Interior Turn - A 27 -foot minimum unobstructed setback is required from a gate to the first turn to allow emergency apparatus clearance.
E) Manually Operated Gate and Barrier Design - Typical gate designs may include sliding gates, swinging gates or arms, or guard posts with a chain traversing the opening.
F) Electrically Operated Gates and Barriers:
In the event of loss of power to the gate operating mechanism, it shall be manually operated without any other actions, knowledge, or manipulation of the operating mechanism being necessary and without the use of battery back-up power. If the gate cannot be opened manually, a secondary source of reliable power by means of an emergency generator or a capacitor with enough reserve to automatically, immediately, and completely open the gate upon loss of primary power shall be provided for fail -open operation. In the event of mechanical failure, gates shall remain locked in the open position until full operation has been restored.
Access to Structures
72.A) Hose pull —The hose pull distance is set at 150 feet due to a variety of factors, including standard hose lengths, weight of equipment, hydraulic properties, and accepted operational procedures.
1) Hose pull is measured along a path that simulates the route a firefighter may take to access all portions of the exterior of a structure from the nearest public road or fire lane. All obstructions such as fences, planters, vegetation, topography, parked cars, and other structures must be considered when determining whether a building is accessible from a particular location on the fire access roadway. Hose pull measurements shall begin at the edge of the roadway or fire apparatus access road.
Requirements for Residential Tract Developments
73. The following requirements apply to all new residential tract developments with one and two-family homes and multi -family projects.

EA25-0002 & PDP25-0002 Page 17 of 19
1) A minimum of two vehicle access and egress points are required for any development containing 150 or more single family dwellings and/ or 200 multifamily dwelling units, or when the distance to an access point is more than 1,320 feet. 2) Where two fire apparatus access roads are required, they shall be placed a distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the property or area to be served, measured in a straight line between accesses.
B) Cul-de-sacs.
1) Any street that is a required fire lane and greater than 150 feet in length shall be provided with a 38 -foot minimum turning radius or other approved turnaround within 150' of the end of the fire lane.
2) The cul-de-sac "bulb" (the portion at the dead-end of the cul-de-sac street which is wider than the cul-de-sac "neck" leading to it shall be identified as a fire lane with red curbs or "Fire Lane —No Parking" signs. Fire lane markings may be omitted from the bulb if one or more of the following applies:
a. A three-point turn may be made within 150' of the end of the cul-de-sac with all areas along the curb assumed to be occupied by parked vehicles. Auto -Turn software or other approved methods shall be used to demonstrate this unless a standard hammerhead turnaround template is used.
b. The length of the cul-de-sac street, including any driveway or spur road accessed from the bulb that is a required fire lane, is not more than 150 feet. c. The radius of the cul-de-sac is at least 46 feet; or 3) Cul-de-sacs longer than 150 feet that are required to be designated as fire lanes may contain a center island provided that:
a. A minimum 28 -foot -wide drive lane with an adequate inside turning radius is provided around the island, and
b. Island landscaping will not intrude into the drive lane, and c. The island is designated a no parking area with red curbs or fire lane signs.
Hydrant and Fire Flow Requirements

Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
CHAPTER 1: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Location
The Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartment Project (Project) is a multi -family apartment complex proposed on 5± -acres of City -owned land located southeast of Key Largo Avenue and Via Vail in the City of Rancho Mirage, Riverside County. Formally, the site is located within the northeastern quarter of Section 30, Township 4 South, Range 6 East, San Bernardino Base and Meridian.
Existing Site Conditions
Currently, the proposed site is an undeveloped infill parcel, part of a larger vacant lot, covered with loose sand and desert vegetation. The property is bound by undeveloped desert lands to the north, south, east, and west. Surrounding development includes the Monterey Marketplace Shopping Center to the north and northeast, Rancho Mirage Dog Park to the northwest, single- family residential units to the south and west, and Monterey Avenue to the east. Although no development has yet occurred, the Rosette Apartments complex is a City -approved apartment housing project on the northern property abutting the site. Construction of that project is expected to begin in the next several months.
Surrounding Land Uses
In compliance with the property's subdivision as part of the Monterey and Dinah Shore land holding, owned by the City of Rancho Mirage and intended for future affordable housing development, the Project proposes a multi -family housing development in which 149 units out of 150 will be reserved for affordable housing. Development planned by the Project is consistent with the parcel's land use/zoning designation as High Density -Residential (R -H), within an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO).
A R -H land use allows residential development to consist of smaller, single-family and multi -family attached dwelling units at a density range between 5 to 9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). An AHO zone provides incentives and density bonus to allow for the creative and effective development of affordable residential development. Under the AHO zone, an affordable housing project can propose a density of up to 28 du/ac. Modified standards will be subject to review by the City Council.
Table 1 provides a summary of permitted and proposed developments which the Project is subject to or exempt from as a high -density residential affordable housing development.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
The proposed Project would include seven multi -family residential buildings, totaling 150 dwelling units, as well as amenity space, recreational facilities, and parking areas. Buildout also requires the extension of Via Vail along the property's eastern boundary. The following provides a detailed report of the proposed residential development and road improvements. Exhibit 3 through 5 provide a visual representation of the information provided below. • Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments: The 5± acre parcel will be developed to include seven permanent three-story residential buildings, totaling to 66,060± square feet. Each residential building is configured as a three-story walk-up with no elevator. The property's residential development is divided by a north -south driveway, which separates the development into an east and west portion. The east portion includes Building 1, 2 and 5 through 7. The west portion includes Building 3 and 4. The two portions are connected by a pedestrian walkway. Driveways are also provided on the north and south boundaries of the Project.
o Residential Units: Of the 150 units available for leasing, approximately 42 units are 1 -bedroom (28%), 69 units are 2 -bedroom (46%), and 39 units are 3 -bedroom units (26%). Each unit includes a living room, kitchen, bathroom, closet/storage space, and a private patio/balcony. A total of 149 dwelling units are designated for affordable housing and 1 dwelling unit is designated for management. • On -site Amenities: A variety of complementary amenities are provided and accessible within communal spaces located between residential buildings. o Community Center. The Community Center is a one-story building, totaling 3,353± square feet. The facility provides a shared room, kitchen and patio space, as well as a laundry room, bike room, leasing office, mail room, and two office spaces. o Playground: Located immediately west of the Community Center, the play area is suitable for young children.
o Swimming Pool: The 948 square foot swimming pool includes lounge chairs with desert landscape enclosing the area. The swimming pool is located west of the playground and east of the pool house. The pool house is a one-story building used to store pool equipment and provides restrooms and shower stalls. o Game Court: A green open space turf area is located to the west of the pool house and may be used to play a variety of field sports.
o Butterfly Garden: A desert landscape garden is located on the west half of the residential development and provides passive open space for residents. o Grilling Station: There is an outdoor grilling station located west of the butterfly garden and beneath a tree canopy with outdoor seating.

• Landscape: A total landscape area of 42,802± square feet is proposed along the site's perimeter, as well as within open spaces between residential buildings. All vegetation used for landscaping will be drought tolerant and noninvasive. • On -site Parking: A total of 219 parking stalls are proposed, including 141 covered carport spaces and 78 uncovered spaces. Of the 219 parking units, 23 stalls are EV charging stations, and 90 stalls are EV charging compatible. Parking is located along the property's north and south boundary with additional parking along the perimeter of the development's east and west residential portions.
• Circulation and Roadway Access: The site provides two points of access along the future extension of Via Vail, located immediately adjacent to the site's eastern boundary. The north access point functions as a gated entry point with a resident and guest queuing lane, intercom, keypad system, and a turnaround. The second access point functions as the site's exit route and is located at the southeast corner of the Project. • Road Improvements: The extension of Via Vail bounds the property's eastern frontage for
0.066 miles. Buildout of Via Vail to the dimensions of a Local Collector (60 feet of right-of- way width and 40 feet of curb -to -curb pavement width) is proposed so as to accommodate two travel lanes, as well as a bike path, and pedestrian sidewalk on the west side only.

Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on - site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
City of Rancho Mirage 21
175
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
Determination: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation:
❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Environmental Checklist and Discussion:
The following checklist evaluates the proposed Project's potential adverse impacts. For those environmental topics for which a potential adverse impact may exist, a discussion of the existing site environment related to the topic is presented followed by an analysis of the Project's potential adverse impacts. When the Project does not have any potential for adverse impacts for an environmental topic, the reasons why there are no potential adverse impacts are described. 1 - Aesthetics

1.1 Setting
The City of Rancho Mirage is in the Coachella Valley, a relatively flat desert valley located in the northwestern region of the Colorado Desert Province. Like the Valley, Rancho Mirage is an arid desert environment consisting of wind disturbed alluvial sediment, desert scrub, hills and mountain ranges. The City is situated near the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains at an elevation of 252 feet above sea level, on average.
City of Rancho Mirage
177
23 Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
According to the Rancho Mirage 2017 General Plan, the mountain ranges encompassing the Coachella Valley, including the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, are recognized as a national resource by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service. Locally, the City classifies the Santa Rosa Mountains as a scenic vista and resource. Thus, specific regulatory codes aim to protect scenic viewsheds to the Santa Rosa Mountains so as to ensure new development does not limit or distract the natural landscape. Other scenic resources consisting of trees, rock outcrops, historical buildings and the like are not prevalent in Rancho Mirage.
The Project site, located at the east side of Key Largo Avenue, west of Monterey Avenue, and west of future Vai Vail extension, is currently an undeveloped parcel 5± acres in size. The parcel consists of sandy soil, desert shrubs, and gentle slopes towards the northeast at an elevation between 285 and 305 feet above mean sea level. Directly to the north, south, east, and west there are undeveloped, vacant lots, similar to the property. Within the Project area, development consists of residential communities, commercial/retail facilities, and street infrastructure. Although no prior development has occurred on -site, there are signs of disturbance including tire tracks, dog prints, trash and human footprints. However, the site's existing condition can be generally characterized as being in its natural state.
1.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The Project includes the construction of seven residential buildings, reaching a maximum height of 39' 4" or three stories tall. The development is designed with a desert modern aesthetic with buildings consisting of three dimensional cut-outs varying in textures between natural wood, off-white plaster, and stone veneer. Landscape is included throughout the property and along the site's frontage on Vai Vail. Specific development designs are listed in Table 1 and are in accordance with the City development standard codified in the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code or permitted in accordance with the State density bonus law for affordable housing development.
Nonetheless, the Project's design will be reviewed by the City Planning Department for its consistency with the City's visual design standards and compatibility with existing residential development as required under General Plan Policy LU 3.1.
The visual character of the surrounding area consists of natural desert landscape as described in detail in the following section:
• North: At the forefront, there is expansive desert terrain with the Rancho Mirage Dog Park and the Monterey Marketplace Shopping Center visible at a distance. The slopes of the Indio HiII are visible at this vantage point, as well as the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino Mountains beyond to the northwest and northeast, respectively. • South: Expansive desert terrain covers the viewshed's low to mid -point with the Santa Rosa Mountains visible at a distance.
• West: Expansive desert terrain covers the low to mid -point of the viewshed with residential development visible at a distance, and background views including the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountains.

• East: At the forefront, there is expansive desert terrain with commercial development located to the northeast and beyond Monterey Avenue. At this vantage point, the Little San Bernardino Mountains are visible at a distance.
The dominant scenic vistas from the Project site include distant views from the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south, San Jacinto Mountains to the west, San Bernardino Mountains to the northwest, and Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north and east. Development of the proposed residential buildings would cause the natural desert landscape on -site to be removed. However, the land is vacant and highly disturbed by ongoing human activities and nearby urban uses; thereby, reducing its value as a seismic resource. Construction of the parcel in accordance with City development standards for setback, landscape, and building design assures the Project would not cause significant damage to surrounding scenic vistas.
Furthermore, the nearest receptors to these changes are residential units located west of Via Josefina. However, the nearest unit is approximately 1,200 feet, at which point the proposed building's height would not significantly obstruct scenic views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the northeast. The primary vistas of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains to the west and southwest will not be affected for these residences, because the Project occurs to their east. Therefore, development of the Project is not anticipated to limit scenic vistas currently visible within existing developed areas.
In accordance with City mandates, the Project will include a total of 42,802± square feet of landscape spread across the 5± acre parcel and along the property's perimeter. Landscape along the site's frontage with Via Vail is also proposed. The plants used are desert native and/or noninvasive and would allow for the Project to minimize its contrast with the surrounding natural landscape and resemble the visual character of the City. As such, the Project is not expected to substantially limit or cause an incompatibility with the surrounding area or the City as a whole. Potential impacts to scenic vistas are therefore limited and considered less than significant.
b) NO IMPACT. According to the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) State Scenic Highway System map, the segment of Highway -111 that traverses the City's southern boundary along the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains, about 3.3 miles southwest of the Project, is categorized as a highway for potential classification.1 Nonetheless, there is no official classified state scenic highway within the City planning area. The Project's development would therefore not visually impact any scenic resources within a state scenic highway.
Additionally, there are no scenic resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, historical buildings, or any other features potentially categorized as scenic resources within or in proximity to the Project area. Adverse effects to scenic resources are therefore expected to be negligible.
c) NO IMPACT. The City General Plan designates the parcel for High Density Residential with an Affordable Housing Overlay. The Project's compliance with development standards under this land use is demonstrated in Table 1. As shown, the Project will not conflict with any development standards that protect the City's scenic quality and resources. As such, potential impacts to scenic resources will be avoided by design. No impacts are anticipated.

d) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. Project lighting will consist of parking lot lighting, building and landscaping lighting, typical of residential development. The Project is required to comply with the City's Municipal Code Section 17.18.050 which mandates exterior light fixtures to be shielded so as to direct lighting downward and prevent spillage onto adjacent property. Consistent with City standards, the Project would not create a source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day and nighttime views in the area. Therefore, no significant impacts from the use of exterior lighting would occur in connection to the Project's operation.

Plan does not include designations for agricultural, farmland or forestry use. Additionally, there are no forest lands or timberland production within the City, likely due to the Coachella Valley's arid desert environment that reaches extreme summer temperatures above 108 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
2.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -e) NO IMPACT:
Farmland: According to the California Department of Conservation, there are no prime farmlands or farmland of statewide importance at or near the Project site. As such, the risk of converting prime or unique farmland to non-agricultural use will not occur. In addition, the property is zoned for residential use and thus, the Project would not conflict with any land use designation for agriculture production. No farmland would be impacted by the Project's construction or operation.
Williamson Act: Based on the California Department of Conservation Division of Land Resources Protection, there is no land within the Project area under a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, no violation of the Williamson Act would occur by the Project's implementation.
Forestry: Neither forest land resources nor the production of timberland occur within the City or on the Project site. The Project will not cause the loss or conversion of forest lands to non -forest use. Given the lack of resources and timberland production, no impacts to forest land uses are anticipated.
In all, the Project would not involve the loss or conversion of agricultural or forestry land.
The parcel is designated for residential use and implementation of the Project would comply with permitted land uses in accordance with the property's designation. As such, no impacts to agricultural and forestry lands would result from the Project.

3.1 Setting
The Coachella Valley, including the City Rancho Mirage, is located in the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) portion of Riverside County in which South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the lead agency for matters dealing with air emissions. Currently, SCAQMD operates and manages three ambient air monitoring stations in the Coachella Valley, including Palm Springs, Indio, and Mecca.
Enabled by the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), SCAQMD is a regional air pollution control agency responsible for the development of an air quality management plan to set a framework from which regional jurisdictions can adequately limit and/or regulate sources of criteria air pollutants in compliance with federal and state Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). The 2022 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is the latest plan adopted by SCAQMD which expands on previous regulation strategies, technology, best management practices, programs, and incentives to reduce emissions below acceptable thresholds.

Particulate Matter
Particulate Matter (PM) is composed of microscopic solid particles with a diameter of 10 or 2.5 micrometers (PM10 or PM2.5) present in the air. High levels of PM10 and 2.5 have been related to health problems including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation, respiratory disease, and even death. Common sources of PM10 and 2.5 include construction sites, unpaved roads, fields, smoke stacks, and fire. Currently, federal NAAQS PM10 and PM2.5 standards are higher than California's Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS). CAAQS annual standards for PM10 and PM2.5 are 12 micrograms per cubic meter (pg/m3) and 20 pg/m3, respectively. In comparison to CAAQS, SSAB currently exceeds the statewide threshold for PM10 by releasing a high of 39 pg/m3 for 2018 to 2020.3 The Coachella Valley's PM10 emissions exceed the CAAQS by 195%. As such, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared the Coachella Valley as "Serious" nonattainment for PM104 and required a state implementation plan to be drafted in response to the region's nonattainment status which sets methods, strategies, and programs in place to achieve attainment.
The 2003 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan (CVSIP) is the latest plan addressing the Valley's nonattainment. The 2003 CVSIP outlines dust control strategies in addition to new control measures to achieve and demonstrate attainment. Proposed actions and regulatory measures to reduce PM10 emitting sources include the following:
• Additional stabilizing or paving of unpaved surfaces, including parking lots • A prohibition on building new unpaved roads
• Requiring more detailed dust control plans for builders in the Valley that specify the use of more aggressive and frequent watering, soil stabilization, wind screens, and phased development to minimize fugitive dust
• Designating a worker to monitor dust control at construction sites • Testing requirements for soil and road surfaces
Additionally, Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Section 7.01.041 outlines PM10 fugitive dust control requirements during construction and demolition activities to ensure PM10 emissions are reduced to the greatest extent possible.
Ozone and Ozone Precursors
Ozone is not emitted but rather created in the atmosphere when nitrous oxide (NO.) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) react under sunlight. While both NO. and VOC contribute to ozone, ozone regulation standards reduce NO.. Federal and state ozone standards are the same for 8 - hour ozone levels at 0.070 parts per million (ppm). The Coachella Valley exceeds the 8 -hour ozone standard with a high emission of 0.095 ppm (136% above the state ozone standard).5 Therefore, the Coachella Valley is classified a "Severe -15" non -attainment area for ozone.6 Yet the Coachella Valley has a limited impact on ozone levels in comparison to high levels of ozone formed in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) to the west that travel downwind to the Valley.
Nonetheless, the Valley must substantially reduce NO. to attain the standard by August 2038 as 3 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Air Quality Management Plan, Table 2-13. 4 Environmental Protection Agency, Current Nonattainment Counties for All Criteria Pollutants, https://www3.epa.gov/aircuality/greenbook/ancl.html , access March 2025. 5 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Air Quality Management Plan, Table 2-7. 6 Environmental Protection Agency, Current Nonattainment Counties for All Criteria Pollutants, https://www3.epa.gov/aircuality/greenbook/ancl.html , access March 2025.

required by the EPA. The SCAQMD is taking action to reduce emissions by implementing planned regulations and programs, and thus improve ozone air quality in the Coachella Valley to reach attainment.
Regional Significant Threshold Criteria
Criteria air pollutants monitored by SCAQMD include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (NOx), sulfur monoxide (SOx), PM of 10 and 2.5, and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Each air pollutant is assigned a daily maximum emission threshold which identifies the highest emission level a single source is allowed to release during construction and operation. Table 2 lists SCAQMD's construction and operation thresholds.

revised March 2023.
A Project -specific California Emission Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) model run was prepared in April 2025 (Appendix A). The following analysis of potential impacts to air quality associated with the Project construction and operation are based on results from CaIEEMod.
3.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) NO IMPACT: The Project site is located within the Salton Sea Air Basin and is subject to SCAQMD's 2022 AQMP and the 2003 CVSIP. These plans strictly regulate and limit the source of emissions in the Coachella Valley and implement comprehensive strategies to reduce pollutants and, in turn, improve air quality to appropriate levels for federal and state attainment. The AQMP is based, in part, on the land use plans for the jurisdictions in the region. As such, conformity with future growth forecasts can assure the Project's consistency with air quality plans and standards. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) projects a population size of 25,200 by 2045 for the City of Rancho Mirage.
The Project proposes the development of a multi -family residential apartment complex on 5± - acres designated/zoned R-H/AHO. In conformance with the parcel's permitted land use and development standards, the Project includes 150 residential units. The construction and operation of a residential development within a previously undeveloped parcel would generate population growth. The Project is estimated to increase the local population size by 485, based on Project -specific inputs for land use (Apartment Mid Rise) and project size (150 units) in CaIEEMod Version 2022.1. The population growth in connection to the Project has been accounted for by the City's 2017 General Plan through its residential land use designation, in addition to the property's allowed density bonus of up to 28 du/ac as an affordable housing development. As such, the Project would be part of the City's anticipated population growth and residential land use as predicted in the City General Plan and SCAG's 2020 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS).
City of Rancho Mirage 31
185

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
Furthermore, the Project must also adhere to all plans, policies, and rules implemented by the SCAQMD, the most notable being the SCAQMD Rule Book.' The Project would be required to comply with Rule 201 which is a permit to construct, mandating a written authorization from the Executive Office to use and operate equipment related to the construction, erection, or alteration of a building. Additionally, the Project would also need to comply with Rule 403 which implements fugitive dust control measures during ground disturbance from construction activities. Compliance with Rule 403 would minimize the potential for the Project to emit excessive PM10 and PM2.5 from extensive disturbance of the 5± -acre parcel. Compliance with these rules and other applicable mandates would ensure the Project does not conflict or obstruct emission reduction standards enforced by SCAQMD to comply with NAAQS and CAAQS.
As discussed above, the Project will comply with all applicable plans, policies, and rules and thus, would not limit the implementation of SCAQMD's 2022 AQMP or 2003 CVSIP for achieving attainment in the future. No impacts are therefore anticipated. b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: As previously discussed, the SSAB portion of the Coachella Valley is classified as nonattainment for PM10 and ozone. As a result, the Project is required to strictly regulate and limit PM10 and ozone emitting sources at every stage of construction and operation, in addition to CO, NOx, PM2.5, and VOC to ensure emissions do not exceed SCAQMD thresholds (See Table 2).
The subject site consists of an undeveloped, unoccupied parcel designated for high density residential use and located within an urbanized portion of Rancho Mirage. The Project includes the development of permanent multi -family residential apartment buildings with amenity spaces and on -site parking. Construction of Via Vail is also included as part of the site's buildout. CaIEEMod does not provide an exact land use type for each proposed development feature and thus, modifications to the model were made to accurately represent the proposed Project. As such, the following land uses were used to model the development:
apartment mid -rise, parking lot, and road construction. The apartment mid -rise land use includes the site's total residential building square footage, plus that of the Community Center and the recreational swimming pool; road construction represents the proposed road improvements along the 0.066 mile stretch of Via Vail located immediately adjacent to the site's eastern frontage.
No structures exist on -site; therefore, no demolition is required prior to construction. A two- year construction period is assumed starting in February 2027 with buildout by 2029.
Criteria air pollutants will be released during both construction and operational phases of the Project. The following sections identify point sources of emissions at each phase and draw a comparison to SCAQMD's thresholds to determine whether the Project would result in a cumulative net increase for PM10 or ozone, or exceed permitted levels of emission for CO, NOx, PM2.5, and VOC.

Construction Emissions
For analysis purposes, it is assumed that the Project's grading would result in a net export of 45,000 cubic yards of dirt/soil from the site. Construction on -site includes multiple phases of development including site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating. However, prior to any on -site improvements, construction of Via Vail is required to provide adequate access to the site. As such, buildout of Via Vail is also modeled and would include four development phases: 1) linear, grubbing & land clearing, 2) linear, grading & excavation, 3) linear, drainage, utilities & sub -grade, and 4) linear, paving. The construction of off -site and on -site improvements would emit air pollutants from heavy construction equipment, off -road equipment, construction materials, land disturbance, delivery trucks, and commuting construction workers. As shown in Table 3, the Project will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for any regulated criteria pollutant.

The data reflects the maximum daily unmitigated emission over a 24 -month construction period. Highest pollutant emissions typically occur during the summer and thus, are represented in Table 3 to analyze the worst -case scenario. As shown, the Project's maximum daily construction emissions will fall well below SCAQMD significance thresholds and thus, emissions are not expected to exceed permitted levels at any point in the construction's duration. Additionally, the Project will implement architectural coating standards and fugitive dust control measures required by SCAQMD under Rule 403 and Rule 1113, and best management practices (BMPs) to further reduce emissions. Under these conditions, the Project's emissions from construction are expected to have less than significant impact.
Operational Emissions
At buildout, the Project will operate seven multi -family residential apartment buildings, totaling 150 units. Complementary amenities including a Community Center and a swimming pool will be provided. For analysis purposes, a population size of 485 residents is assumed.
Additionally, the Project is anticipated to generate 722 trip -ends per day according to the traffic report prepared by Urban Crossroads (Appendix l). Operational emissions stem from five categories including mobile (vehicle), area (architectural coating), and energy (natural gas, electricity). Default settings in CaIEEMod were used to estimate operational emissions given that each land use corresponds to a specific average demand factor. Table 4 indicates the Project will not exceed SCAQMD threshold for any criteria pollutant.

The data reflects the combined maximum daily emission levels projected to occur over the Project's lifespan. Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to exceed SCAQMD thresholds at any point in its long-term operation. Nonetheless, the Project currently plans to provide 27 electrical vehicle charging stations on -site as an alternative to fueled vehicles to off -set a percentage of mobile emissions. Additionally, the site will include a photovoltaic system as mandated in the Energy Code, part of the Title 24, California Building Code. Implementation of these features is projected to reduce source emissions and thus lessen daily emissions during the Project's operation. Impacts related to operational emissions are therefore anticipated to be less than significant.
Cumulative Impacts
SCAQMD has not developed a systemic approach in determining the potential for cumulative impact. Nonetheless, the emission thresholds for construction and operation are established so as to minimize individual impacts, and thus, collectively avoid the potential for cumulative impact for regulated criteria pollutants, especially PM10 and ozone. As shown in Table 3 and Table 4, the Project would not exceed emission thresholds for any pollutant during construction or operation. So, although the Project would result in an incremental change to regional emissions, it would not contribute to a cumulatively considerable impact to the region's nonattainment designation. As such, the potential for the Project to result in cumulative impacts is less than significant.
c) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The subject site is an undeveloped, vacant parcel. In proximity, there is a residential community along the west side of Key Largo Avenue, with the nearest unit being just east of the corridor and located approximately 1,200 feet west from the Project site. The residential unit is a sensitive receptor, considering that sensitive receptors are vulnerable groups of the community that are prone to health impacts related to extended exposure to pollutants at high concentrations. Sensitive receptors typically occur in various urban land uses including hospitals, schools, rest homes, and residences. In response to the potential threat to sensitive receptors, SCAQMD established localized significance thresholds (LSTs).
LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project that would not cause substantial impact to the ambient air quality standard near sensitive receptors. These thresholds control the level of emissions permitted by various air pollutants including NOX, CO, PM1o, and PM2.5 for projects up to 5 acres in size.
The Project proposes the development/disturbance of 5 -acres and would become a source of emissions. SCAQMD's LSTs are applicable to the Project and thus, the Project must adhere to these thresholds so as to ensure impacts to sensitive receptors are minimized. The Project City of Rancho Mirage 34
188
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments

is located at a distance greater than 500 meters from the nearest receptor; nonetheless, the Project is evaluated under LSTs at said distance to determine whether the Project exceeds the most stringent emissions thresholds for a project closer to a sensitive receptor. As shown in Table 5, on -site emissions would not exceed permitted levels and thus, the development would not cause significant impacts to nearby receptors located at or greater than 500 meters.

The Project will include residential buildings and complementary amenity spaces. No major stationary pollutants including landfills, refineries, chemical plants, and oil fields would operate within the subject site. Therefore, LST operational emissions are not applicable to the Project and, as such, an LST analysis is not required for this Project. Less than significant impacts would occur.
Health Impact
As shown in Table 3 and Table 4, the Project would not exceed SCAQMD emission thresholds for construction or operation. As such, the Project would not violate the 2022 AQMP, 2003 CVSIP, or contribute substantially to existing and future air quality emissions.
Although the Project will emit below the thresholds for air pollutants, it is not possible to calculate the degree to which exposure to various levels of criteria pollutant emissions will impact an individual's health. There are several variables that make accurate predictions of a Project -specific health impact difficult:
• Not all individuals will be affected equally due to medical history. Some may have medical pre -dispositions, and diet and exercise levels tend to vary across a population. • Due to the dispersing nature of pollutants via wind, it is difficult to locate and identify which group of individuals will be impacted, either directly or indirectly. • There are currently no approved methodologies or studies to base assumptions on, such as baseline health level or emission level -to -health risk ratios.
Due to these limitations, the extent to which the Project poses a health risks is uncertain.
However, because the Project will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds, it is anticipated that the Project's emissions of criteria pollutants will cause less than significant health impacts. d) NO IMPACT: The detection of odors is subjective and largely depends on the individual's sensitivity to smells. However, objectionable odors are typically associated with the operation of industrial facilities, agricultural uses (livestock and farming), and waste management sites.

None of these operations will occur on -site by the Project's development and thus, no impacts from odor are anticipated.

The Coachella Valley, part of the Colorado Desert Province, is an arid desert environment comprised of sand dunes, flood channels, alkaline sediment within a relatively flat valley depression, east of the Salton Sea and enclosed by steep mountain ranges including the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north and northwest, San Jacinto Mountains to the northwest, and Santa Rosa Mountains to the south and southwest. The natural landscape of the Valley encompasses a variety of ecosystems including plants and wildlife that have adapted to the desert environment. To minimize potential harm to native wildlife and local biological resources, all development located in the Coachella Valley is subject to regulatory plans and policies including the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA), Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), California Endangered Species Act (CESA), and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP).
The federal Endangered Species Act is a biological conservation policy that identifies "threatened" and "endangered" species that require federal protection from adverse effects including fragmentation, habitat loss, predation, or disease. The ESA is enforced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act is an international policy prohibiting the unlawful purchase, capture, kill, and/or possession or attempt to possess any migratory bird, nest, egg, or parts.
Similar to the federal ESA, the California Endangered Species Act is a wildlife conservation policy which identifies state -listed "endangered", "threatened" and "candidate" species for classification, protected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). CESA prohibits the take of state -listed species.
On a regional scale, the CVMSHCP is a comprehensive regional plan that addresses the conservation needs of native wildlife and plant species to ensure proper measures are in effect to balance environmental protection and city economic development. The CVMSHCP accomplishes this by conserving unfragmented habitats for viable population of species within the planning area.
Rancho Mirage is a Level 2 conservation classification in the CVMSHCP's plan area profile. The classification indicates that the City has natural value worth conserving but given the existing land uses and level of disturbance, impacts to the natural quality have extensively diminished potential biological resources. As such, the City's developed area is not identified as a CVMSHCP conservation area. No regional or local biological conservation areas occur within the developed portion of Rancho Mirage. South of the City is the Rancho Mirage Mountain Reserve, a conservation management area that houses most of the City's biological resources in the Santa Rosa Mountains. The Project is approximately 3.70 miles northeast of the Santa Rosa Mountains foothill.
A site -specific biological assessment report was prepared by WSP USA Environmental and Infrastructure Inc in May 2024 (Appendix B). The report consists of a literature review and an onsite field survey conducted on April 18, 2024, which analyzes the site's habitat viability and determines the probability for species including those of federal, state, and local concern to occur within the Project's boundaries. The following discussion is based on the evidence and result from the biological assessment report.

4.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WITH MITIGATION: The Project site is a ±5 acres parcel, currently undeveloped and consisting of native vegetation, very sandy surface, and relatively flat with small undulating hills. Similar conditions exist to the north, south, east, and west of the site where no prior development has occurred. Development near the Project site consists of commercial/retail shops to the north and east, and residential communities to the south and west. Given the parcel's proximity to development, including the Rancho Mirage Dog Park, the site shows signs of disturbance as observed during the field assessment.
The field survey was conducted on April 18, 2024, by a WSP Senior Wildlife Biologist to assess the current conditions of the Project site and evaluate the potential for suitable habitat to sustain biological resources and special status species. A variety of native vegetation and wildlife were observed during the field survey. No special status species or active nests/nesting birds were detected. The following is a detailed summary of the field assessment findings.
Vegetation: The Project site consists of sparse and disturbed shrubs including creosote bush, four -wing saltbush, and dyebush. Annual species observed include desert dicoria, Spanish needles, narrow leaved forget me not, fanleaf cricklemat, Sahara mustard, and old han schismus. Of these plant species, none are classified as endangered or threatened, or protected by the USFWS or CDFW.
Wildlife: Vertebrate species and species common to the desert scrub and/or Coachella Valley area were observed on -site within the Project area, such as the American crow, house finch, verdin, and Say's phoebe. None of the wildlife observed are classified as species of concern or federally and/or state listed species. Evidence of rodent burrows was not detected, likely due to the sandy nature of the site that does not provide a suitable burrowing substrate. No actively nesting birds were detected on or adjacent to the Project site at the time of the field survey. No species listed as threatened or endangered were observed on the site. No riparian species or habitat was observed onsite.
Special Status Soecies: Based on the literature review, a total of 36 special status biological species consisting of 11 plant species, 2 vegetation communities, 5 invertebrate species, 4 amphibians and reptiles, 8 bird species, and 6 mammal species, have a likelihood of occurring on -site or within a 5 mile radius. The probability of any of these species occurring on -site ranges from low to very low or absent.
Six out of nineteen species are protected by CVMSHCP, including the Coachella Valley milk - vetch, Coachella giant sand treader cricket, Coachella Valley Jerusalem cricket, burrowing owl, Palm Springs pocket mouse, and Coachella Valley (Palm Springs) round -tailed ground squirrel. These species are expected to have a low to very low probability of occurrence on - site.
The burrowing owl is not listed as threatened or endangered by the USFWS or CDFW.
However, the species falls into classification as a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) by the USFWS and a Species of Special Concern (SSC) by the CDFW, which was recently proposed for listing in California. Additionally, the burrowing owl is protected under the MBTA, which prohibits the take of the species. No burrows suitable for burrowing owls were observed on or City of Rancho Mirage 39

adjacent to the Project site. However, if a burrowing owl is found on -site, it must be avoided or relocated prior to any ground disturbance.
A USFWS IPAC report was generated for the site where the results yielded 5 sensitive wildlife, and 1 plant species with a potential to be impacted by the Project's development. Potential impacts are anticipated to be minimal considering the site's limited suitable habitat and lack of prior occurrences. For instance, the Monarch butterfly requires milkweeds for larval development which were not observed within the property's boundaries. There is no quality habitat present for desert tortoise due to the sandy nature of the soil and high level of disturbance. Suitable habitat for the Coachella Valley fringe -toed lizard is present but the site is isolated from other open space and highly disturbed, and the species is protected under the CVMSHCP. Least Bell's vireo is absent from the site due to the lack of riparian habitat.
In regard to nesting birds, they are protected by the MBTA and the state Fish and Game Code.
To avoid potential impacts to nesting birds during the nesting season, a nesting bird survey must be conducted by a qualified ornithologist or biologist, prior to on -site disturbance as mandated under Mitigation Measure BIO-1. Implementation would ensure any potential impacts to nest birds and/or nests are avoided in accordance with the MBTA. The pre - construction survey would also function to survey the site for burrowing owls and thus ensure the species' protection from on -site construction activities.
No special status species were observed on -site. No nesting sites or migratory bird species were detected during the field survey. The probability of any protected species by the USFWS, CDFW or CVMSHCP in being present on -site now or in the future is low to very low. Therefore, the probability of the Project to impact any species of special concern is limited. A nesting bird survey will be performed prior to construction activities to ensure no harm to nests, mitigatory birds, or burrowing owls is inflicted as a result of the development. The Project will comply with all regulatory requirements regarding the conservation and protection of biological resources. With the implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1, the Project is expected to cause less than significant impacts.
c) NO IMPACT: There are no federally protected wetlands located on the Project site or within proximity to the site. For this reason, the Project is not expected to impact jurisdictional waters in any capacity. No impact will occur.
d) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: No active nesting sites, nesting birds, or migratory birds were observing on -site or in adjacent lands. The parcel is not located within a wildlife corridor, or a biological conservation area as shown in the City's General Plan Exhibit 16. The City manages the Rancho Mirage Mountain Reserve area, part of the Santa Rosa Mountains, that encompass approximately 5,000 acres including small canyons, washes, and extensive rocky and rough terrain supporting a wide variety of plants and wildlife. The area is also designated as the Coachella Valley Mountain Conservancy (CVMC) Area of Interest. The foothill of the Santa Rosa Mountains is approximately 3.70 miles southwest of the Project site. Given the large distance between the Project site and the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Project is unlikely to substantially interfere with the movement of native wildlife or impact native nursery sites.
To reduce any impacts to potential nesting sites and migratory bird species, the Project will be required to implement Mitigation Measure BIO-1. As such, impacts to the local wildlife corridor and biological conservation areas in relation to the Project are expected to be less than significant.

e,f) NO IMPACT: All development including the Project is subject to the CVMSHCP as the City has incorporated the local conservation plan as part of its biological conservation requirements. For this reason, the Project will be required to adhere to CVMSHCP's regulations and standards and will pay the mitigation fee required under the Plan. Additionally, the Project will be required to comply with federal and state environmental policies relating to endangered or threatened species and migratory birds. By law, the Project and any activities relating to its construction and operation will follow all relevant federal, state, and local policies, regulations, and/or standards. The Project is not anticipated to violate any regulatory framework. No impacts are anticipated.
4.3 Mitigation Measures:
BIO-1: Migratory Bird Treaty Act
A site -specific nesting bird survey shall be performed by a qualified ornithologist or biologist no more than 3 days prior to vegetation removal or ground disturbance activities if construction is proposed during the nesting season (January 15 through August 31). If active nests are found during the pre -construction nesting bird survey, the biologist shall assess the conditions and establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be 100 to 300 feet for unlisted songbirds and at least 500 feet for birds -of -prey and species listed as threatened or endangered. The nesting area shall not be disturbed until the biologist has determined the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. The biologist has the authority to stop work if the nesting area exhibits signs of disturbance.

5.1 Setting
Prehistoric Period
Historical research suggests a cultural chronology for the desert region occurring over four periods which include the (1) Paleoindian Period (8,000 to 10,000-12,000 years ago), (2) Early Archaic Period (8,000 to 4,000 years ago), (3) Late Archaic Period (4,000 to 1,5000 years ago), and (4) Late Prehistoric Period (1,500 years ago to the Spanish missions).
The Paleoindian Period is characterized by small, mobile bands of hunters and gathers, who relied on small and large game animals and wild plants for subsistence and generally used simple stone tools.
The Early and Late Archaic Periods experienced a decrease in population density with indigenous groups depending largely on foraging rather than hunting. Very few archeological tools, sites, and other remains have been identified in connection to this time period. A continuation of the same trend occurred during the Late Archaic Period with mobile groups settled near available seasonal food resources and relied on opportunistic hunting of game animals. Groundstone artifacts for food processing were prominent during this time period.
The Late Prehistoric Period saw seasonal settlement patterns, with people relying heavily on available seasonal animals and wild plants. An introduction of ceramic and bow/arrows occurred during this time period.
The Holocene Lake Cahuilla was a prehistoric freshwater lake that attracted much settlement and resource procurement activities. The lake gradually desiccated over many cultural periods, resulting in indigenous groups moving away from its receding shores towards rivers, streams, and City of Rancho Mirage 42

mountains. Numerous historical sites have been identified along the former shoreline. Culturally significant resources within these areas have included brown and buff ware ceramics, a variety of groundstone, and projectile point types, ornaments, and cremation remains.
Historical Period
Due to its harsh environment, few non -Indians ventured into the desert valley during the Mexican and early American periods, except for those who traveled along the established trails. The most notable was the Cocomaricopa Trail, an ancient Indian trading route that was "discovered" in 1862 and known as the Indian trading route after that. The wagon trail traverses a similar route to that of present-day State Route 111. The trail served as the main thoroughfare between coastal southern California and the Colorado River, until the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1876 to 1877, at which point non -Indian settlement in the Coachella Valley appeared with the establishment of railroad stations and spread further with claims of public land through the Homestead Act, the Desert Land Act, and other federal land laws. Farming was the dominant economic activity in the Valley prior to the late 1920s, when new industries were introduced including equestrian camps, resorts, hotels, and eventually country clubs.
In Rancho Mirage, the first sign of settlement occurred in the 1910s and 1920s when several date ranches were established within the present-day City boundary. Small residential communities gradually appeared with development after the end of World War II (WWII) rapidly attributing to the City's growth. With the development of the Thunderbird Country Club and the Tamarisk Country Club, along with five other cove communities along Highway -111 setting the framework for development trends within the City of Rancho Mirage.
A Project -specific historical and archeological resource survey report was prepared by CRM TECH in July 2024 (Appendix C). The report evaluates and determines whether the proposed Project would cause substantial adverse changes to any "historical resources", as defined by CEQA that may exist in and around the Project area. Assessment of potential historical resources within a 1 -mile radius of the Project site includes a historical/archeological resource records search, historical background research, Native American participation, and a field survey conducted by a CRM Tech archeologist and two Native American monitors from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) on May 14, 2024.
The following analysis is based on results from the historical/archeological report.
5.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED:
Record Search
According to the search of historical records, the Project area has not previously been studied for potential historical or archeological resources. However, records identify a total of 35 previously completed cultural resource studies, in addition to one conducted by CRM TECH on the adjacent northern parcel in April 2024 which is yet to be incorporated into EIC records.
From the 35 surveys, 17 cultural resources within a one -mile radius have been recorded in the California Historical Resources Inventory, which include four prehistoric sites, seven historic -period sites, and six isolates (sites with fewer than three artifacts). Table 6 lists all 17 culturally significant sites located in a one -mile radius from the Project site.

The nearest historical site is Site 33-017008, located a half -mile northwest of the Project area and consisting of remains of a collapsed shed of unknown age. None of the 17 cultural resources are within proximity to the Project area and will not be subject to potential loss or damage by the Project's construction and operation.
Native American Participation
The CRM TECH inquiry to the NAHC yielded no Native American cultural resources in the Project vicinity. Nonetheless, the NAHC recommended that local Native Americans groups be consulted for further information on potential cultural resources in the area. On April 22, 2024, analysts with the ACBCI historical preservation office replied to CRM Tech's request for information by identifying the area as the tribe's Traditional Use Area and asking for the following actions to be taken in connection to the Project's implementation: 1) all cultural resources documentation generated for this Project to be shared for review and 2) qualified archaeologists perform a cultural resources inventory prior to development and an approved ACBCI monitor be present.

Historical Background Research
Historical records research yielded no evidence of any settlement or development activities within the Project area throughout the historic period. Gradual development has appeared with greater real estate development occurring since the 1990s, notably in the surrounding area with the construction of the Monterey Marketplace Shopping Center and residential units on the west side of Key Largo Avenue.
Field Survey
Findings from the field survey resulted in no cultural resources being uncovered or identified in the Project area pursuant to the California Public Resource Code definition of "historical resources." The report does note that buried resources could occur, and that impacts to those resources could be significant if not mitigated. In order to reduce impacts to less than significant levels, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 is provided below.
The Native American Sacred Lands File identified no properties of traditional cultural value in the vicinity, and no notable cultural features were known to be present in the Project area throughout the historical period. Therefore, the site is regarded as having no historical resource present within the site boundary.
Conclusion
Based on the results from the assessment prepared in determining whether historical resources are likely to be present in the Project area, the report concludes with no substantial adverse change to any known historical resources. However, to avoid potential adverse effects from ground disturbance, implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would be required to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. c) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project site is not known to have been used for human burials or previously utilized as a cemetery. As such, the property is unlikely to harbor human remains. However, in accordance with State law, if human remains are discovered during ground -disturbance, all construction activities must cease immediately, and the County Coroner must be notified of the findings. The Coroner will evaluate and make a final determination on the significance of the remains and whether local Native American tribes need to be contacted. With compliance with State mandates, the Project would result in less than significant impact to potentially occurring human remains.
5.3 Mitigation Measures:
CUL-1:
If buried materials are discovered during any earth -moving operations associated with the project, all work in the immediate area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the find.

6.1 Setting
Electricity
The Project site is serviced by Imperial Irrigation District (IID). IID is a local service provider for the eastern portion of the Coachella Valley including portions of Rancho Mirage and all Imperial County, to cover approximately 6,471 square miles and more than 165,000 people. IID manages and operates its electricity system in Riverside and Imperial county to provide its customers energy from a variety of sources including renewables.8 Natural Gas
Southern California Gas (SCG) is one of the largest natural gas providers, encompassing approximately 24,000 square miles and servicing nearly 21.1 million customers.9 SCE operates transmission lines crossing the Coachella Valley, along Interstate -10 to the north and a system of high pressure distribution lines to its service areas in Rancho Mirage. SCG will provide natural gas energy to the Project site.
6.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project proposes the development of 5± acres of vacant land to include seven permanent residential apartment buildings, a Community Center, and multiple recreational amenities. Construction and operation of the Project would consume energy in the form of electricity, natural gas, and gasoline.

energy consumption at each phase of development and determines whether energy use would result in environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption.
Construction Energy Use
The Project's construction phase will include site preparation, grading, building construction, paving and architectural coating. Additionally, buildout of Via Vail would include linear, grubbing & land clearing, drainage & excavation, and utilities & sub -grade construction phases. The construction phases for both on -site and off -site improvements are estimated to occur over a 24 -month construction period. During this time, energy use would primarily stem from the use of construction equipment and construction workers' vehicles commuting to and from work.
Table 7 provides a thorough overview of the type of construction equipment that may be found at the site during the specific construction phase and calculates the equipment's fuel consumption based on the construction duration, construction equipment power rating, and load factors programmed in CaIEEMod (Appendix A). The aggregate fuel consumption rate for all equipment is estimated at 18.5 horsepower hours per gallon, per the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) Carl Moyer Program Guidelines (2017), Table D-12 Fuel Consumption Rate Factor. CaIEEMod assumed all construction equipment is diesel powered.
The Project's construction equipment is estimated to consume approximately 62,757 gallons of diesel fuel within the 24 -month construction period.

In total, the construction phase would generate a fuel demand of 127,373 gallons of fuel. This fuel consumption will occur only once, and all related construction diesel fuel demands will end immediately after the 24 -month construction period.
Although energy demand from construction is temporary, the Project would be required to adhere to the state Low Carbon Fuel Standards which are regulatory standards designed to improve transportation fuel efficiency and achieve environmental benefits, such as lowering carbon fuel emissions and improving air quality. Compliance with these standards would ensure the Project's fuel consumption during construction does not adversely affect the surrounding environment. Any potential impacts will be limited and cease after the construction period has been completed.
Operation Energy Use
At buildout, the Project site would consume electricity to power kitchen appliances (refrigerators, ovens, toasters), electronics (televisions, Wi-Fi boxes, computers), HVAC, EV charging stations, and indoor/outdoor lighting. CaIEEMod generates default electricity and City of Rancho Mirage

natural gas consumption based on land use inputs. For the Project, the following land uses were included: apartments mid -rise, parking lot, and road construction. One thing to note is the energy use by the swimming pool (i.e., heat pump) and Community Center (i.e., light fixtures, appliances, HVAC) are accounted under the residential land use. Table 9 summarizes each land use estimated energy demand.

As shown in Table 9, the Project's operation would generate an annual energy demand of 925,191 kWh of electricity and 1,933,922 kBTU of natural gas. To manage the use of electricity on -site, the Project's design, construction, installation, and operation must adhere to the latest standards for energy efficiency established in Title 24 of the California Building Code. Part of these provisions include solar power for multifamily residential buildings with a solar zone located on the roof or overhang of the building to provide at least 15 percent of roof coverage per building. The use of renewable energy would off -set electricity use supplied by nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuel, coal, and natural gas. Consequently, the Project would minimize energy consumption from nonrenewable resources to the greatest extent possible. Adherence to these and other energy efficiency standards as outlined in the City General Plan, Municipal Code, and the City 2013 Energy Action Plan, would ensure the proposed multifamily residential development does not become a source of wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary energy consumption. As such, less than significant impacts from energy consumption during the Project's long-term operation are anticipated.
Summary
The proposed Project would generate an energy demand during construction and operation.
Energy use during construction would be temporary and thus cause no permanent impacts to the Project's energy use. However, energy consumption during operation would be on -going and last the entire duration of the property's lifespan. Operational usage would be managed by the property's compliance with stringent energy codes established in the State Building Code for multifamily residential development. These provisions specifically aim to reduce energy consumption; thereby, improving the usage and efficiency of energy. In accordance with all applicable mandates, the Project's operational energy use would not significantly impact the environment from wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary energy consumption. For these reasons, potential impacts are anticipated as being less than significant. b) NO IMPACT: Energy efficiency is mandatory under the State's Energy Code, a part of the California Building Code, Title 24, which requires all residential development to fulfill minimum standards for energy conservation. Part of these mandates includes solar power for multifamily residential buildings, as previously discussed. Additionally, the Project would be required to comply with applicable standards for energy efficiency under the City 2013 Energy Action Plan and the City Municipal Code. Adherence is required by law and, as such, the City of Rancho Mirage 50

52 7.1 Setting
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
Rancho Mirage is located in an area with numerous active faults, including the Banning fault and the Garnet Hill fault. Both faults are located outside the City limits north of Interstate -10 (I-10), along the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. These local faults, as well as regional faults including the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and San Gorgonio Pass faults, have the potential to cause strong ground shaking in Rancho Mirage. The City is also susceptible to soil settlement, landslide, collapsible soil, ground subsidence, and soil erosion.
Ground shaking
The Banning and Garnet Hill faults are located approximately 3.40 miles to the north. Both faults are part of the San Andreas fault system. The Banning fault is a right -lateral strike -slip fault, capable of inducing a <7.0 magnitude earthquake.10 The Garnet Hill fault is a right -lateral strike - slip fault with an earthquake capacity of <7.0 magnitude.11 Secondary active faults capable of causing damage to Rancho Mirage include the San Jacinto fault, located within the San Jacinto Mountains, southwest of the City; and the San Gorgonio Pass fault, located in the San Gorgonio Pass to the west of the City. The San Andreas fault is a strike - slip fault where the North American and Pacific tectonic plates meet. The San Andreas fault crosses the Coachella Valley from the Salton Sea, north of Rancho Mirage and through Desert Hot Springs. The fault can induce a magnitude <8.0 earthquake, likely to impact Rancho Mirage.
The risk of seismically induced ground shaking is high given Rancho Mirage's proximity to the Banning and Garnet Hill fault, as well as the influence of regional faults such as the San Andreas.
Lic uefaction
Seismically induced liquefaction occurs when loose, unconsolidated, sandy soil is in proximity to groundwater less than 50 feet from the ground surface. When the soil particles become saturated, the effect is a loss of bearing strength, which causes the surface to become unstable and jeopardize the structural integrity of buildings built on top. In Rancho Mirage, seismically induced liquefaction hazards are considered low given the local groundwater level is at depth greater than 50 feet.
Soil Settlement
Settlement of the ground surface occurs when fine, unconsolidated alluvial soil becomes compacted during a seismic event. According to Rancho Mirage's General Plan Exhibit 23, most of the City's developed area, including the Project site, is located within an area classified as highly susceptible to seismically induced settlement.
Landslide
Those portions of Rancho Mirage located adjacent to the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains are highly susceptible to landslides given their proximity to steep mountains which may result in rock falls and landslides in the event of a seismic event. As shown in the City's General Plan Exhibit 24, the Project site is located in the City's northeastern corner within an area with low susceptibility for seismically induced rockfall and/or landslide. 1° Southern California Earthquake Data Center, Banning Fault, accessed June 2024. 11 Southern California Earthquake Data Center, Garnet Hill Fault, accessed June 2024.
City of Rancho Mirage 53
207

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
Collapsible Soil
Collapsible soil is soil sediment recently laid down by wind or water. Typically, the soil loses its strength and becomes rearranged when saturated, causing a substantial and rapid soil settlement. Rancho Mirage's developed area is comprised of alluvial and aeolian sediment that are prone to collapse.
Ground Subsidence
Ground subsidence is the gradual settlement of the ground surface, generally attributed to the rapid decline of regional groundwater basins. With the projected population growth in the Coachella Valley, withdrawal of the groundwater basin will become more prevalent, thus presenting an increasing risk for ground subsidence in Rancho Mirage and all regional cities. The local water districts have implemented groundwater replenishment programs to offset the withdrawal of groundwater.
Soil Erosion
Soil erosion occurs when loose sediment is transported by wind, water, and/or agricultural activities. The loss of mass results in atmospheric dust which impacts road visibility and impacts the regional air quality. The majority of Rancho Mirage's developed area is classified as a Very Severe Wind Erosion Hazard Zone (VSWEHZ). The Project site is located within a VSWEHZ.
Flooding
Flooding during a seismic event may be a result of failures of water tanks, reservoirs, retention basins, recharge basins, and other water storage facilities. Rancho Mirage has a low probability of seismically induced flooding.
Paleontological Resources
Paleontological resources are the remains or traces of prehistoric life that once occupied the area.
The City is generally regarded as an area with low sensitivity to paleontological resources, according to the City's 2005 General Plan EIR.
To evaluate the property's susceptibility to geological hazards, a Project -specific Geotechnical Investigation Report was prepared by Petra Geoscience in July 2024 (Appendix D). The investigation includes a subsurface exploration survey, laboratory test, and percolation test. The basis of the following analysis stems from the report.
7.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a.i NO IMPACT: The subject site is not located on or near an active fault line as defined by the California Department of Conservation, Alquist Priolo Site Investigation Map.12 No signs of faulting were observed within the property during the field survey. Therefore, the probability for impact due to fault rupture on -site is considered negligible. No impacts are anticipated. a.ii LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project site is located within a relatively flat region of Rancho Mirage's northeast planning area. The site is comprised of unconsolidated, windblown sand and covered by sparse desert vegetation. The likelihood for the site to be adversely affected by strong ground shaking is analyzed below. 12 California Department of Conservation, Alquist-Priolo Site Investigation Reports, https://maas.conservation.ca.cov/cgs/informationwarehouse/acreports/ , accessed March 2025.
City of Rancho Mirage 54
208

May 2025
The site is located more than 3 miles (3.36 miles exactly) from the nearest active fault line, being the San Andreas Fault, traversing along the foothills of the Indio Hills and located outside the City boundary.
The Coachella Valley segment of the San Andreas fault can generate the greatest level of ground shaking in the region, at an estimated magnitude of 8.0. On the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which categorizes the potential for damage on a scale of 1 (none) to 12 (severe), the Coachella Valley segment of the San Andreas fault is associated with an 8 to 7 damage level. In the worst case (Level 8), strong ground shaking from the San Andreas fault can cause structural damage, overturn heavy furniture and cause columns, chimneys, and walls to fall. The potential for damage is moderate to heavy and perceived shaking is severe.
To ensure structural integrity during strong ground shaking, the Project is required to conform with the latest California Seismic Code and applicable development standards as established in the City General Plan and Rancho Mirage Municipal Code. In accordance with these safety standards, the Project's design and construction will incorporate collapse -resistance measures so as to reduce the potential for structural damage or collapse in the event of seismically induced ground shaking. Therefore, although the Project site has a moderate chance for damage caused by seismically induced ground shaking, implementation of building standards will minimize the potential for significant damage. As such, less than significant impacts are anticipated.
a.iii NO IMPACT: During the geotechnical field survey, the greatest depth explored reached 66 feet below the ground surface. Groundwater was not encountered at this depth. Furthermore, a monitoring well located approximately a half -a -mile to the north places groundwater at a depth of 160± feet below the surface. The site's groundwater is therefore located at a depth of or greater than 160 feet, which eliminates the probability for seismically induced liquefaction to occur on -site and cause structural damage to the proposed residential buildings. The property's susceptibility for liquefaction is negligible and thus, no impacts are anticipated. a.iv NO IMPACT: The property is located on the Valley floor and within a relatively flat region of Rancho Mirage. There are no slopes, hillsides, or mountains at or within proximity to the site.
The nearest susceptible landslide area is the Indio Hills, located approximately 3.40 miles from the property. At this distance, the risk for a seismically induced landslide is limited. The potential for landslides to cause adverse effects to the property and proposed development is negligible. No impacts will occur.
b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Disturbance of the topsoil during construction is generally regarded as increasing the probability of soil erosion by wind and water. However, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403, irrigation of the site is required prior to and during any ground disturbance so as to manage fugitive dust from soil erosion. Additionally, the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code requires all new development to implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) to specify actions taken to manage and avoid storm runoff during construction and in the long term. In accordance with these standards, development of the Project is not anticipated to increase the site's susceptibility to soil erosion. Additionally, once fully built, the Project site will include impervious surfaces such as building foundations, sidewalks, parking areas, and landscape, City of Rancho Mirage 55
209
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
all of which stabilize the soil and prevent soil erosion. For these reasons, the probability for impact from soil erosion is low. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. c) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The probability for soil failure within the property is analyzed in the following sections.
Landslides
Refer to Question a.iv in this Section for analysis on the probability for landslides. No impacts are anticipated.
Lateral Spreading
Lateral spreading is caused by liquefaction and seismically induced ground shaking that liquefies the topsoil resulting in the soil column's loss of strength.13 Typically, lateral spreading occurs in fine grained materials on shallow slopes or flat terrain. The subject site is relatively flat and covered by unconsolidated sandy soil with a groundwater level estimated at a depth of 160± feet below the ground surface. At this distance, the probability for lateral spreading to occur at the Project site negligible.
Subsidence
Subsidence is a byproduct of excessive groundwater pumping which lowers the soil column, resulting in the gradual settling or sudden sinking of the surface. The Coachella Valley Water District, in compliance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), implements groundwater replenishment measures to maintain constant levels. These measures ensure groundwater levels do not substantially decrease to the extent of causing subsidence. Therefore, the probability for the Project site to be impacted by ground failure as it relates to subsidence is limited.
Licuefaction
Refer to Question a.iii in this Section for analysis on the likelihood for liquefaction. No impacts are anticipated.
Soil Collapse
Soils prone to collapse include wind deposited sands and silts, alluvial fans or debris flow sediments deposited by flash floods. These soils may be partially supported by clay, silt, or carbonate bonds which when saturated, collapse and undergo rearrangement, resulting in substantial and rapid settlement under relatively light loads. According to the soil survey, the soil material found on -site is very loose to very dense, poorly graded eolian sand. Soil found at a depth of at least 10 feet was determined as prone to settlement. However, the grading requirements which will be imposed on the Project by the City will include the over -excavation of these soils, the proper compaction of soils and other geotechnical standards to assure that soil collapse does not occur. These standard requirements will assure that impacts will be less than significant.
d) NO IMPACT: Expansive clay may occur in fine-grained soils. These soil types expand and contract with changes in moisture content. The soil material found on -site was characterized as very loose to very dense, poorly graded eolian sand with a moisture content less than
0.5%. To determine the potential for soil collapse by exposure to moisture, a percolation test 13 US Geological Survey, Lateral Spread, https://www.usgs.cov/media/imaces/lateral-spread , July 2023.

was performed. Results from the test concluded with the soil on -site having a safety factor of 1, indicating the soil's stability in contact with water. Clay was not encountered in the soil column, and is not expected to occur. No impact is expected. e) NO IMPACT: On -site wastewater collection and treatment services will be provided by the Coachella Valley Water District. No septic tank will be required to fulfill wastewater services.
Therefore, no geological impacts related to soil collapse from an on -site septic tank would occur as part of the proposed development. As such, no impacts would occur. f) NO IMPACT: The City of Rancho Mirage is located within an area with low sensitivity to paleontological resources. Additionally, there are no records of paleontological resources being uncovered during the development of surrounding land uses in the proximity of the Project site. Therefore, no paleontological resources are expected to occur within the property area and thus, no impacts will occur.

8.1 Setting
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) are naturally occurring with the release of water vapor, carbon dioxide (OO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3) into the atmosphere which then capture heat radiated by the sun to create the greenhouse effect. With the introduction of human activities including the burning of fossil fuels and agricultural practices, the release of GHGs into the atmosphere has accelerated over the decades to the extent of causing changes to global weather patterns, noted as global climate change or global warming.
In response to global climate change, Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) and Senate BiII 32 (SB 32) were passed to set GHG emission guidelines to achieve 1990 emissions levels by 2020 and a level of 40% below 1990 emission levels by 2030.
Pursuant to the State GHG reduction goals, the City of Rancho Mirage adopted a Sustainability Plan (SP) in March 2013. The 2013 SP is an implementation plan for Rancho Mirage to reach target emission reduction goals through goals, policies, and standards. A GHG emission inventory was provided and projected emissions are stated assuming current and future developments implement reduction standards. The City reduction goal is 19.8% below 1990 emission levels by 2020.14
In compliance with state legislation, SCAQMD adopted a tiered approach to determine GHG significance thresholds for stationary sources. Specific thresholds are dependent on land use.
Residential projects have an annual GHG threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MTCO2e) per year. The following is the "tiered" system approach in determining if a project's GHG emissions would be considered significant according to CEQA standards:
• Tier 1: Is there an applicable exception?
14 Rancho Mirage Sustainability Plan, Table 1, March 2013.
City of Rancho Mirage 58
212
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
• Tier 2: Is the project compliant with a greenhouse gas reduction plan that is, at a minimum, consistent with the goals of AB 32?
• Tier 3: Is the project below an absolute threshold (10,000 MTCO2e/yr for industrial projects; 3,000 MTCO2e/yr for residential and commercial projects)? • Tier 4: Is the project below a (yet to be set) performance threshold? • Tier 5: Would the project achieve a screening level with off -site mitigation? SCAQMD's tier system approach is implemented in the following impact analysis regarding the Project's emission of GHG during construction and operation.
8.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: A Project -specific air quality report was prepared using CaIEEMod, a modeling program used to calculate emissions based on land use and related operations for projecting emissions including GHG from stationary sources (Appendix A). Construction GHG emissions include the use of construction equipment and transportation of construction materials and personnel. Operational GHG emissions consist of a variety of sources including area sources, energy usage, mobile sources, waste, and water.
Construction Emissions
A construction duration of 2 -years is projected starting in February 2027 with a full buildout by 2029. Construction activities resulting in short-term GHG emissions would stem from the operation of construction equipment, employee commutes, material hauling, and other ground disturbances. For 2027, emissions are estimated at 674 MTCO2e. For 2028, emissions are estimated at 486 MTCO2e, and for 2029, emissions are estimated at 27.5 MTCO2e. The Project's construction would emit a total of 1,187.50 MTCO2e/year over the 24 -month construction period. To determine if construction -related GHG emissions will result in a cumulative impact, construction GHG emissions were amortized over a 30 -year period and added to annual operational emissions to be compared to applicable GHG thresholds. Table 11 summaries construction emissions with annual operational emissions for this specific Project.
Operational Emissions
At buildout, the Project would consist of seven residential multifamily apartment buildings and complementary amenities including a Community Center facility and outdoor recreational amenities. During operation, the Project would consist of six sources of GHG emissions including mobile, area, energy usage, water, waste, and refrigerant. These sources would generate the Project's annual emissions, estimated at 1,659 MTCO2e/year. Table 10 shows each emission source in relation to the Project's annual GHG emissions.

As mentioned above, the Project would be subject to the Rancho Mirage SP and the City's 2013 Energy Action Plan. In accordance with these plans, the Project would be required to adhere to reduction standards to assist in the City's reduction goal and overall, the State's SB 32 objective of achieving a GHG emission level of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. The Project would also adhere to rules and standards under SCAQMD 2022 AQMP. These standards would ensure that the Project's GHG emissions do not substantially impact the environment. Therefore, less than significant impacts would occur as a result from the Project's construction and operation.

9.1 Setting
Federal, state, and local standards impose restrictions/regulation on the transport, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous material, specific to facilities including new commercial, industrial, institutional, or accessory use, that are involve in the manufacturing, storage, or processing of hazardous substances in sufficient quantity to pose a hazardous risk.
Numerous commercial, quasi industrial, and medical operation are classified "small quantity generators" in Rancho Mirage, given their use of hazardous/toxic material and potential for accidental spills, air emissions, and other discharge into the environment. These hazardous waste sources include the Eisenhower Medical Center and the Desert Orthopedic Center, according to the City's 2017 General Plan. At this time, there are no active hazardous waste sites found in Rancho Mirage as reported in the Hazardous Waste and Substance Site List (Cortese List) by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
Apart from commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities, households may also pose a hazardous risk with the improper disposal of common household products. Hazardous waste typically found in homes includes household cleaners, paints, pesticides, solvents, used automobile fluids, and batteries. To limit the potential harm to human health and the environment with the mishandling and/or improper disposal of household hazardous waste, the City offers household hazardous waste pick-ups at no cost to residents.
A site -specific Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared to evaluate the property's existing environmental condition and related susceptibility to hazardous impacts from the development of a multi -family residential project on the site's 5±acre parcel (Appendix E). The assessment includes a review of aerial photographs, environmental database review, and a site inspection performed on April 18, 2024.
Investigation For Potential Hazardous Sites
Aerial photographs were reviewed in order to assess the gradual change in land use over time and identify sources of potential hazardous material storage usage, and disposal, near the Project site. Observation yielded that in 1953 no manmade structures appeared in the Project area, until 1959 through 2020 when greater development gradually evolved to what is present today. Within this same period, no landfills, large aboveground tanks, oil wells, or pipelines were visible nor are currently present on -site or within adjoining properties. No previous use of the site for storage or disposal of hazardous material has occurred. And as such, the property was not identified as a potential hazardous material site as part of the environmental database review.
Nonetheless, seven properties within a one -mile distance from the site are identified as having the potential to release hazardous materials into the subsurface soil and/or groundwater. Yet, none of the properties are located adjacent to the site or up -gradient (west-northwest). Therefore, the site's location and distance from hazardous sites, the potential for hazardous material to impact the proposed development is considered negligible. Further investigation of the site or nearby vicinity through other resources were obtained to furthermore evaluate its environment condition. The following are the results from each investigation • Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB): The properties listed in the RWQCB database are known to have released potentially hazardous materials into the underlying soil and/or groundwater. The site was not listed within the RWQCB database. Nor any property within a 0.25 mile from the property.

• Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC): A search of the database revealed that the site was not located within the DTSC database, nor any property within 0.25 mile and up -gradient from the site.
• California Geologic Energy Management Division (CaIGEM): The CaIGEM provides a map in which oil wells are identified. There were no oil wells shown to be present within the subject site or within 1 mile of the site. The closest reported oil well is Chevron, located approximately 5.6 miles north-northwest of the site. • South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD): No records of the property were encountered in SCAQMD's database. The closest reported property is The Home Depot property located approximately 700 feet northeast of the site. The Home Depot is reported due to its use of a diesel -powered electric generator. Release of diesel at this property was not reported by the AQMD. There were no AQMD-regulated properties located up -gradient and within 0.25 miles of the site.
Lastly, on April 18, 2024, a Terra Nova Planning & Research Inc. representative visited the site to assess its current use and visually search for indications of surface and subsurface contamination. Observations recorded during the site inspection include the following:
• The site appeared in an undeveloped and natural state. Manmade structures were not encountered within the site. Its surface was covered with wind-blown sand and desert vegetation.
• Very small quantities of nuisance debris were encountered locally within the site.
This debris included plastic sheeting, cardboard, lumber, clothing, and empty food and beverage containers. Potentially hazardous nuisance debris was not encountered within the site.
• None of the following were observed within the site:
o FiII ports or vent pipes to underground storage tanks o Aboveground storage tanks
o Indications of septic systems
o Pools of liquid or potentially hazardous substances
o Groundwater wells
o Clarifiers, pits, sumps, or other underground waste disposal areas o Stained soils
o Unusual or noxious odors
The surrounding property was also observed for evidence for possible contaminant releases. In summary, the adjoining properties consist of undeveloped lands, residential development, commercial/retail shopping center, dog park, local transit corridors, and a construction yard. No potential source of hazardous material was observed in the visible portions of the properties located within proximity to the subject site.

Conclusions
Due to the absence of prior development on the site, sources of hazardous material were not encountered at any point in the multi -phase investigation. Based on the review of databases, there is a low potential for contaminants from off -site properties to affect the underlying soil and/or groundwater at the site. The findings indicate that the site's existing environmental conditions do not warrant regulatory involvement, including actions leading to environmental soil sampling, soil remediation, groundwater sampling, and groundwater remediation. As such, the property is regarded as having no prior exposure to hazardous material and thus, no cumulative impacts by the proposed Project's use of hazardous material during construction and operation would occur.
9.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: As previously mentioned, the Project would include the use of hazardous material during the 24 -month construction period and long-term operation. These materials will be present in small quantities and will not pose an environmental risk. The following sections analyze sources of hazardous material and waste at each stage of development and evaluate their respective potential for impact.
Construction
For analysis purposes, it is assumed the Project's construction phase would occur over a 24 - month period starting in February 2027 with buildout in 2029. During construction, heavy duty construction equipment will be present on -site. This construction equipment is powered by fuel, stored in sealed containers so as to avoid accidental spills. A fueling station consisting of a paved surface may be assigned within the construction area to focus refueling activities within a dedicated area and catch any potential spills to eliminate the potential for adverse effects to the soil quality. Additionally, the Project will be required to comply with all appropriate federal, state, and local legislation regarding the transport, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous material which establish best management practices when handling hazardous material. With compliance with regulatory policies and standards, the Project's construction is unlikely to pose a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the use of hazardous materials. Less than significant impacts are expected.
Operation
At buildout, the Project will include seven residential buildings, totaling 150 units, a community building, and outdoor recreational facilities such as a playground, grilling station, and swimming pool. As such, the Project is expected to routinely use chemicals and cleaners to properly maintain the swimming pool and other public areas. Additionally, each residential unit is likely to use, store, and dispose of household hazardous material/waste, including cleaners, paints, and batteries. None of these chemicals or substances will be concentrated at significant quantities to pose a hazardous risk. Additionally, Burrtec Inc., the City's waste hauler, offers residents in Rancho Mirage curb -side pickup of household hazardous waste at no extra cost. Given the small amounts of hazardous material, and option for proper disposal, the Project's operation is unlikely to cause an acute hazardous risk. No reasonably foreseeable upset is likely to occur involving the lease of hazardous material into the environment. The Project's long term operation is not expected to release hazardous materials in large quantities. Less than significant impacts are anticipated.

Summary
Hazardous material will be present onsite in limited quantities which reduces the likelihood for the Project to pose a significant hazardous risk. During construction, the Project will be subject to regulations regarding the transport, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous material. In compliance with these regulations, the Project will ensure less than significant impact will occur during the construction phase. Once operational, hazardous materials will consist of household products which will be found in low quantity, unlikely to cause a significant hazardous accident. Overall, the transport, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous material in relation to the Project's construction and operation are not expected to pose a significant hazardous risk. Less than significant impacts will occur. c) NO IMPACT: Rancho Mirage contains two public schools: Rancho Mirage Elementary School and the Rancho Mirage High School. In relation to the Project site, the Rancho Mirage Elementary School is approximately 4.28 miles southwest, and Rancho Mirage High School is approximately 2.73 miles northwest. These schools are located at a distance greater than
0.25 miles from the Project site. The Project is therefore not expected to use or store hazardous material in significant quantities or emit hazardous emissions, materials, or substances which could otherwise pose a risk. Impacts to existing schools. d) NO IMPACT: According to the Cortese List, there are no contaminated areas in Rancho Mirage. The Project site consists of a vacant 5± -acre parcel which has been left in its natural state since at least 1904.15 Surrounding development consists of residential properties and commercial/retail shops. A site -specific environmental site assessment was conducted which included the review of environmental database results, and found 7 properties located within 1 mile of the site to be listed as potential sources of the release of hazardous material.
However, due to their relative distance and location, the potential for hazardous material to be released on -site and impact the soil/groundwater was determined as negligible.
The Project is not located on or in proximity to an area that has been classified as a polluted or hazardous site. Additionally, no potentially emitting facilities are located within the Project's area. For this reason, the Project is not expected to contribute to a hazardous site. The Project will not pose a significant hazard to the public or environment. No impacts will occur. e) NO IMPACT: There are no commercial or private airports in Rancho Mirage. The nearest airport is the Palm Springs International Airport, located approximately 6.08 miles west of the Project site. The Project is farther than 2 miles from the airport and located outside the airport's land use plan. Considering the Project's distance from the Palm Springs International Airport, the Project's development will not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the Project area. No impacts will occur.
f) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Prior to construction, the Fire Marshal's Office will review the Project site plan to ensure the Project is consistent with all appropriate safety standards and emergency operation plans including the City's Emergency Operational Plan (EOP) and the County's Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP). As such, the Project will not violate any state or local safety codes or emergency plan in the event of a local or regional accident.

The extension of Via Vail along the east boundary of the Project site will provide direct access to and from the site. Via Vail will be constructed in compliance with the City's circulation standards specific to a local roadway. As such, the Project will provide a direct evacuation route during an emergency. Overall, the Project will comply with all safety codes and as such, will not violate or interfere with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
Impacts are expected to be less than significant.
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: According to California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention (CalFire) Fire Hazard Severity Zones model, Rancho Mirage is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). The Project site is not located on or in proximity to an area with a fire hazard severity classification. The nearest area is in the Santa Rosa Mountains, located approximately 4.80 miles southwest from the site. To reduce potential risks related to fire, the Project will be required to comply with all state and local fire codes regarding fire prevention to ensure the safety of residents and workers occupying the site. The Project is not expected to significantly expose people or structures to loss, injury, or death involving a wildland fire because the site is not located in proximity to an area susceptible to fires and the Project will minimize potential impacts by complying with state and local fire code. Impacts related to fire hazards are expected to be less than significant.

Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
The City of Rancho Mirage, like the Coachella Valley, has a subtropical desert climate with annual rainfall ranging from 4 to 6 inches. However, during severe thunderstorms, the intensity of rainfall can saturate the desert surface and substantially reduce percolation, leading to floods. Increased urbanization which includes impervious surfaces (i.e., buildings, sidewalks, roadways, driveways) also raises the probability for runoff.
In Rancho Mirage, the areas with a flood hazard are located in proximity to the Whitewater River and its tributaries, mountain canyons, and their alluvial fans, as well as runoff from the Indio Hills drainage. Based on the City General Plan Exhibit 26 (Flood Map), the center to southern region of the City planning area between Gerald Ford Drive and Highway -111 have a Zone X flood zone designation, typically associated with lands with a 2% chance of flooding once every year. To the north, the land is outside flood Zone X due to its relative distance from regional mountain ranges and the Whitewater River.
The Project site is located to the northeast of the City planning area and outside a flood hazard zone.
A Preliminary Drainage Study (Appendix F) and a Water Quality Management Plan (Appendix G) were prepared for the Project by Atlas Civic Design, Inc. in October 2024. The following analysis is based on the findings of the two reports.
10.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project proposes a multi -family housing development on 5 -acres of vacant land, east of Key Largo Avenue and south of Via Vail. The property would include 66,060± square feet of residential building space. Additional facilities include 4,108± square feet of in/outdoor communal space, 108,938± square feet of hardscape, and 42,802± square feet of landscape. Off -site improvements include buildout of Via Vail along the site's eastern boundary. Pursuant to Chapter 15.64 (Grading) of the City Municipal Code, the Project is required to comply with standards regarding stormwater drainage so as to avoid the discharge of polluted runoff that may find its way into the regional groundwater supply.
Based on the Project -specific drainage study, the property's existing drainage pattern shows significant runoff from surrounding vacant parcels including the open space property to the west and portions of the vacant parcel to the south. The runoff, not infiltrated by the site's sandy soil, drains across the property and onto the vacant northern and eastern parcels, planned for the extension of Via Vail. To manage on- and off -site runoff, the Project proposes site improvements to include a drainage system comprised of swales, sidewalk and gutter, and two underground storage basins (BMP 1 and BMP 2). Basin 1 is designed to collect on site runoff as well as part of the Via Vail right-of-way runoff from the centerline to the property's frontage, as required by the City. Basin 2 is designed to collect and store off -site runoff from the southern property that is tributary to the site.
Evaluation of the proposed drainage system for its consistency with the City's requirement for 100 -year storm retention under 1, 3, 6, and 24 -hour storm durations, concluded that the proposed underground pipe system adequately manages on and off site storm runoff and City of Rancho Mirage 68

thus, no runoff would occur as a result of the Project's development. Additionally, the Project - specific Water Quality Management Plan lists non-structural and structural source control BMPs the Project would implement once operational. Some of these BMPs include irrigation system and landscape maintenance, common area litter control, street sweeping on private streets and parking lots, and compliance with all applicable ordinance codes regarding water use and stormwater drainage. As such, conformance with applicable standards as mandated by the City Municipal Code and implementation of BMPs would ensure the Project does not result in a decline in the local and regional water quality. Less than significant impacts are anticipated.
b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Sources of water consumption by the Project would stem from construction activities through fugitive dust control and operational indoor and outdoor activities related to residential, landscape, and swimming pool uses.
Construction Water Use
The Project's construction will consist of multiple phases including site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating, lasting for 24 -months with a projected operational date in 2029. Ground disturbance related to construction would occur during site preparation and grading, and would require on -site irrigation in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403 for fugitive dust control. The site's irrigation is limited to only ground disturbance activities and would cease altogether after grading has ended. The temporary and infrequent use of water for irrigation purposes during the Project's construction would not substantially limit CVWD's water supply under current and future conditions.
Operational Water Use
Water use related to the Project's long-term operation will consist of residential use, amenity space (i.e., Community Center, swimming pool), and landscape irrigation. Table 12 and Table 13 summarize water consumption by proposed land use, and concludes with a total Project water consumption rate of 28.26 acres -feet per year (AFY).

As shown, the Project would generate a total water demand of 28.26 AFY which accounts for less than one percent (0.017% exactly) of the Coachella Valley Water District's (CVWD's) total gross water supply of 164,966 AFY by 2045.16 Although water demand from landscape irrigation is projected at 2.8 AFY, usage is anticipated to be lower considering that landscape vegetation will comply with the City's development standard under Section 17.24.040(g) of the Municipal Code for water -efficient and drought -tolerant plants that require minimal irrigation..
The Project is not expected to substantially reduce groundwater supply serviced by CVWD because its annual water demand accounts for less than one percent of the Water District's annual water supply as projected by the Urban Water Management Plan. Additionally, consistent with the parcel's intended land use under the City General Plan, the Project would not result in an unexpected water demand outside the UWMP when determining whether CVWD current and project water supply would adequately, and reliability meet future water demands in accordance with projected City buildout, since the UMWP is based on land use designations. As such, the Project would not limit or decrease CVWD's potential to supply sufficient potable water to current and future users. Less than significant impacts to groundwater supply would occur.
c.i) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The proposed on site drainage system includes swales, sidewalk and gutter, and two underground storage basins as detailed in Question (a) of this Section. The property's drainage improvements are designed to follow the property's existing drainage pattern that drains southwest to northeast. A Project -specific drainage study was prepared to assess the design's compliance with City development standards for storm drainage. The report concluded that the Project adequately retains and manages a 100 -year storm in 1 -hour, 3, 6, and 24 -hour durations. Therefore, no runoff would occur and, in turn, no soil erosion from water would result from the property's surface runoff. Additionally, the property will include impervious surfaces such as building foundations, paved sidewalks, asphalt parking area, as well as landscape, all of which stabilize the soil and reduce the probability for soil erosion to occur. The risk for soil erosion to significantly affect the site is minimized by stabilizing improvements. As such, less than significant impacts are anticipated. 16 Table 4-10 in the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan, July 2021.
City of Rancho Mirage 70
224
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
c.ii) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The site is currently undeveloped and unoccupied.
There are no existing flood control improvements within the 5± acre parcel. Implementation of the proposed improvements would reduce off -site runoff crossing the site and adequately retain and manage on- and off -site storm runoff as determined by the Project -specific drainage study. For these reasons, the Project would not result in an increase in surface runoff and thus, would not increase the susceptibility for flooding on or within the vicinity of the Project site. Less than significant impacts would occur.
c.iii, iv) NO IMPACT: As discussed in Question c.i, the Project drainage system is designed to withstand a 100 -year storm, meaning runoff on site would be adequately managed to prevent runoff from flooding the site and adjacent properties. The proposed drainage system will retain the mandated storm flow and thus, no stormwater flow will be exceeded. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
d) NO IMPACT: The site is not located near the ocean or a body of water where tsunamis or seiche zones are a concern. According to the Project -specific drainage study, the property is located within a FEMA Zone X and thus, designated as an area of minimal flood hazard with an annual 0.2% chance of flooding. Therefore, flood hazards due to a tsunami, seiche, or storm event have no probability of occurring at or near the site. No impacts would occur. e) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: As analyzed in Question (a) of this Section, implementation of the Project would not substantially interfere or prevent the CVWD from meeting its services area water demand now or in the foreseeable future. Nor would the Project prevent the CVWD from implementing a recycling system or groundwater basin recharge system. The Project's operation would control polluted stormwater runoff. At no point, would the Project limit the groundwater management plan from being implemented. As such, potential impacts to the effectiveness of the 2020 UWMP will be less than significant.

11.1 Setting
According to the City's 2017 General Plan Table 2, the citywide developed area constitutes predominantly of open space (47%), followed by residential properties (35%), commercial (9%), and institutional facilities (2%). The Project site's parcel is designated High Density Residential (R -H) with an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO). The R -H designation allows for smaller, single- family and multi -family attached dwelling units with a density capacity between 5 to 9 du/ac. The AHO allows for the creative and efficient development of affordable housing projects, providing density bonuses of up to 28 units per acre and modified development standards, as identified in the City's certified Housing Element and implemented through Chapter 17.22 of the City's Municipal Code.
The development of affordable housing, as the Project proposes, is compatible with the urbanized surroundings that include commercial/retail shops, main corridors with access to public transportation, schools, and residential communities. Within the Project area, undeveloped, vacant parcels consisting of native vegetation and sandy soil are located to the north, south, east and west. These parcels are zoned for High Density Residential/Affordable Housing Overlay (north and south), Commercial/retail (east), and Open Space -Public Parks (west). Currently, on the north side of the site is the Monterey Marketplace Shopping Center and Rancho Mirage Dog Park, to the south and west are single-family residential development, and to the east is the Desert Gateway commercial center beyond Monterey Avenue.
The Project will be subject to the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and regulations applicable to a parcel with a R-H/AHO designation.
11.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) NO IMPACT: The subject property is currently undeveloped, vacant desert land. No prior development has occurred, and no existing residential structures occupy the site. Surrounding the Project site are commercial/retail shopping centers to the north and east, and single family City of Rancho Mirage 72
226
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration

residential properties to the south and west. Neighboring residential properties and communities are expected to continue operating independently from the Project. Therefore, the Project will not adversely impact an existing residential community given the relative distance and status of operation of each property. The Project will not physically divide an established community. No impacts to existing communities would occur. b) NO IMPACT: Under the City's General Plan Land Use/Zoning Map, the site is designated High Density Residential with an Affordable Housing Overlay. The Project aligns with the City intended land use as it proposes a multi -family residential development in which all but one of the available units will be utilized by very low to low-income households for affordable housing. To maximize density capacity while maintaining appropriate living conditions, the AHO zone allows for modified development standards and density bonuses, up to 28 units per acre, as identified in the City's certified Housing Element. The Project's proposed standards are consistent with the AHO zone and will be subject to review and approval by the City Council.
In addition to development standards, the Project will be required to comply with the City's regulations including, but not limited to, safety standards and building codes. The Project will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local policies and ordinance. For this reason, no impacts to the environment due to a conflict in land use or policy would occur as it related to the Project's design, construction, and operation.

12.1 Setting
Mineral resources in Rancho Mirage are limited within the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and consist of sand and gravel deposits, collectively known as aggregate. Aggregate is used extensively in the production of construction materials such as asphalt concrete.
The Surface of Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) has developed mineral land classifications maps to protect and develop mineral resources. According to the SMARA, four land use classifications are used to identify an area's sensitivity for mineral resources:
Mineral Resource Zone 1 (MRZ-1): This land use classification refers to areas where enough geological information is available, or it may be inferred that there is a low likelihood for mineral resources to be present.
Mineral Resource Zone 2 (MRZ-2): This land use classification refers to areas where enough geological information is available, or it may be inferred that there is a high likelihood for mineral resources to be present.
Mineral Resource Zone 3 (MRZ-3): This land use classification refers to areas where there is not enough geological information to determine its significance of mineral resources.
Additional information about the quality of minerals in the area would upgrade the areas to an MRZ-2 or downgrade the areas to an MRZ-1.
Mineral Resource Zone 4 (MRZ-4): This land use classification refers to areas where there is not enough geological information to make a determination for either MRZ-1 or MRZ-2.
According to the City's 2005 General Plan EIR, the City is classified as MRZ-1. There are no active mineral extraction sites in operation within the City planning area.

12.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) NO IMPACT: The majority of Rancho Mirage's developed areas, including the Project site, are classified as MRZ-1. As such, the probability of locally important mineral deposits occurring within the property or in proximity is considered very low. Additionally, the Project site is designated for residential use which does not allow for mining or mineral extraction.
The development of the Project is not expected to result in the loss of mineral resources.
Therefore, no impacts will occur.

13.1 Setting
Noise
Noise is defined as sound that is undesirable and interferes with daily life. For Rancho Mirage, the main source of noise stems from traffic along Interstate -10 (I-10), as well as regional roadways including Highway -111 and arterials, and to a lesser extent, the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Palm Springs International Airport.
Traffic noise along I-10 generally depends on the volume of traffic, the percentage of trucks, average traffic speed, and conditions of the roadway. I-10 noise level is projected to measure 85 dBA CNEL17 Within the City's northern region, nearest to I-10, traffic noise at a range between 60 and 65 dBA is projected.18 Arterial roadways in Rancho Mirage including Monterey Avenue, Dinah Shore Drive, and Bob Hope Drive, currently range between 71 dBA to 79 dBA. To minimize the exposure to extensive noise, the City General Plan assigns land use according to the land use 17 Rancho Mirage General Plan, Environmental Impact Report, 2005. 18 Rancho Mirage General Plan, Future Noise Contours, Exhibit 18, 2017.

compatibility with the existing ambient noise. As such, sensitive land uses such as residential, schools, hospitals, and outdoor recreational spaces are generally within areas where existing noise levels are consistent with the City's noise standard of 65 dBA CNEL.
The Southern Pacific Railroad line located along I-10 and north of Rancho Mirage, contributes to the City's local ambient noise level but not extensively, given that trains pass only periodically and have a limited duration. The Palm Springs International Airport located northeast of Rancho Mirage also contributes a minimal portion to the City's ambient noise level considering that no portion of the City is located within the airport's noise corridor and the airport's Master Plan imposes limitations to the overflight in Rancho Mirage.
Vibration
Rancho Mirage does not have vibration thresholds established in the City General Plan or City Municipal Code. Therefore, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) construction related vibration thresholds are used to establish impacts on the Project.
A noise and vibration analysis report was prepared for the Project by Urban Crossroads in January 2025 (Appendix H). The report characterizes current ambient noise levels and evaluates the future exterior noise environment from construction and stationary sources during long-term operation, and vibration impacts during construction for their potential to cause adverse changes to the existing ambient environment. The following analysis is based on the report's findings.
13.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: To evaluate the potential impacts to the local ambient environment, existing noise levels within the Project area were measured by Urban Crossroad Inc. on May 23, 2024. The noise level is measured in the unit of energy average sound levels (Leq) which describes noise over a specified period by simplifying the cumulative effect as if it were a constant sound during the same period. Table 14 list noise levels identified during daytime (7 am to 6 pm), evening (6 pm to 10 pm) and nighttime (10 pm to 7 am) at each measuring location near sensitive receptors located in proximity to the property, which consist of single-family residential units. A map of the monitoring locations is provided in Appendix H.

To accurately project noise emissions related to the Project's development, project -specific inputs were provided in the modeling software so as to account for the development's off -site noise generation from traffic and on -site noise generation from residential land use.
Construction Noise
The Project's construction is assumed to occur over five phases including site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating. Construction related noise at each phase would occur as a result of on -site use of heavy construction machinery. However, the use of construction equipment on -site is expected to have a limited effect on the existing noise level considering the equipment is highly mobile, thus noise disturbance will not be focused on one area where sensitive land uses such as neighboring residential property can be substantially affected. Additionally, construction activities will be limited to less sensitive daytime hours and no activities will occur on Sundays or national holidays.
Table 15 summarizes the report's findings on construction noise related to the Project's development and Table 16 evaluates the Project's noise impact to sensitive receptors during construction. Construction related noise in addition to existing ambient noise levels will not cause adverse effects to receptors. As such, less than significant impact from construction noise is anticipated in connection to the property's development.

Operational Noise
Operation related noise will be generated both on- and off -site. On -site noise will stem from the operation of machinery including HVAC systems, on -site traffic noise, and noise from residential activities. Off -site noise will largely stem from increased vehicle use to and from the site and along neighboring corridors. The following analysis evaluates noise sources related to the Project and determines the extent of potential impact to nearby sensitive receptors.
On -Site Noise
Traffic noise generated within the property line was modeled and compared to the City's Land Use compatibility threshold for unmitigated exterior noise levels at or below 70 dBA CNEL.
Based on the results, the Project will not exceed the City's 70 CNEL threshold for exterior noise and thus, residential buildings proposed on -site would not be adversely impacted by excessive exterior noise levels.

Interior noise levels are a reduction of exterior noise levels through building construction.
Typical building construction will provide a noise reduction (NR) of approximately 12 dBA with "windows -open" and a minimum 25 dBA noise reduction with "windows -closed". The Project's interior noise levels were modeled under the assumption of "windows -open" to determine whether on -site traffic noise would exceed the City's interior noise standard of 45 dBA for residential land uses. As shown below, the 45 dBA interior noise threshold will not be exceeded by the Project's on -site traffic noise.

On -site noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors was determined to include roof -top air conditioning units, trash enclosure activities, and parking lot activities. Noise levels from these sources were derived from noise measurements from similar types of activities, or taken from manufacturers' specification sheets, to represent the noise levels expected with the development of the Project. The Project's operational noise levels were then compared to the City's noise standards to determine if at any point during a 24 -hour period the Project would exceed noise thresholds for daytime, evening, and nighttime hours. Table 19 summarizes the findings and shows that the Project will not exceed noise level thresholds at any nearby receiver location.

Traffic Noise
Traffic noise levels were measured within fourteen different roadway segments located in proximity to the Project site. Additionally, modeling was performed to compare the noise levels with and without the Project at different stages including future 2026 ambient growth, and 2026 ambient growth plus cumulative effects. Table 20 summarizes exterior traffic noise levels for 2026 without the Project and Table 21 summarizes noise levels assuming Project buildout.
The noise level is measured on a scale of community noise equivalent level (CNEL) which increases noise sensitivity up to 10 dBA to account for perception of noise as double the loudness during evening and nighttime hours.

The data indicate that the Project would result in an increase of noise contours in certain roadway segments, but that noise levels perceived by surrounding land uses would remain the same as without Project development. According to the threshold of significance related to off -site noise generated by a project, a project will cause adverse effects near sensitive land uses if off -site noise increases by 3 dBA CNEL or more. Considering the proposed Project would not increase the noise perceived by sensitive land uses beyond the range expected with the City's ambient growth, sensitive receptors would experience a less than significant noise level increase due to unmitigated Project -related traffic noise levels.
In all, the proposed Project will not exceed significant noise thresholds during construction or operation. Noise levels generated on -site and off -site will adhere to applicable standards and thus minimize the potential for significant impact to nearby sensitive receptors, those being single-family residential units to the south, and west of the property. The Project's noise impacts are therefore expected to be less than significant. b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Groundborne vibration is generally caused by the use of heavy construction equipment. The duration and amplitude of vibration can vary widely depending on type of equipment and purpose for which it is used. Equipment typical for high rate impact vibration includes jackhammer, hoe rams, and certain types of pavement breakers.

The Project site is currently a vacant, undeveloped parcel. Construction phases for the Project's development will include site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating. Any construction equipment used on -site will be required to comply with the Caltrans vibration threshold of 0.3 inch -per -second PPV for structures and 0.2 inch -per - second PPV for human annoyance. Construction vibration velocity levels are estimated to range up to 0.01 PPV (in/sec) and thus fall below the thresholds at all noise -sensitive receiver locations. Residential projects in proximity to the Project would therefore experience less than significant impacts. Additionally, the vibration levels perceived by receptors is not expected to last the entire duration of the site's construction but rather occur only early in the grading process. Therefore, potential impacts would be temporary and short in duration, would be below established thresholds, and would result in less than significant impacts to sensitive receptors.

c) NO IMPACT: There are no commercial or private airports in operation within Rancho Mirage.
The nearest airport is the Palm Springs International Airport, located approximately 6.08 miles northeast from the Project. The Project site is not located on or in proximity to the airport's noise contour. As such, noise impacts associated with the operation of the Palm Springs International Airport is considered negligible. No impacts will occur.

14.1 Setting
According to the Department of Finance, the City of Rancho Mirage is projected to have had a population size of 16,992 in 2024.19 At the time of the Housing Element update (2022), the City's population was characterized by its predominant older population, over the age of 55, which comprised nearly 70% of the City's total population. Additionally, the typical household size is estimated at 1.8320 with a medium household income of $109,943,.21 The number of occupied dwellings is 9,406, with the majority being single-family detached owner -occupied homes, according to the City's General Plan 2021-2029 Housing Element. By 2045, the City is projected to have a population size of 25,200.22
According to the Housing Element of the City General Plan, the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) generated by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for the City is presented in the table below for the 2022 to 2029 planning period. 19 California Department of Finance, Table 2: E-5 City/County Population and Housing Estimates, dated January 2024.

14.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project includes seven permanent multi -family residential buildings, as well as complementary outdoor amenities. The Project site is a subdivision of a larger City -owned parcel, 50± acres in size, planned for park and affordable housing development. The Project proposes to develop a total of 150 units, 149 of which will be used for affordable living. The Project aligns with the City's intended land use and strategy to meet affordable housing needs consistent with the City General Plan and thus is included in the City's projected build out and population growth.
The Project proposes the extension of Via Vail, currently classified as "local roadway", to provide direct access to the property. Once operational, Via Vail will be frequented by occupants, guests, and staff. Via Vail will provide direct access to the property and manage traffic to and from the property in accordance with the City's circulation standards. The likelihood of the Project indirectly inducing unplanned population growth because of the extension of Via Vail is minimal, since it is part of the General Plan's anticipated circulation system.
Overall, the Project is consistent with the City's intended land use to increase the availability of affordable housing in Rancho Mirage. The Project's proposal to develop multi -family residential buildings and extend Via Vail is therefore unlikely to cause a substantial, unplanned population growth in the local area or in the City. For these reasons, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.
b) NO IMPACT: The subject property is vacant, unoccupied desert land. The site has been in its natural state since at least 1904. There are no structures or buildings within the property to suggest prior development of the site for residential use. The Project's development will not displace existing people or force the relocation of homes. The Project does not require the construction of replacement housing. Therefore, no impacts related to displacement or relocation are anticipated.

15.1 Setting
Fire Protection Services
Under contract with the County of Riverside, the City outsources fire protection, fire prevention, rescue and medical emergency service to the Riverside County Fire Department. A typical response time for the Fire Department is 5 minutes, which includes fire fighters and certified paramedics on scene. Two fire stations operated by the Riverside County Fire Department are located in Rancho Mirage: Station No. 50 and No. 69.
Rancho Mirage Station No. 50 is located at 70801 Highway 111 and is responsible for providing fire protection services to the City's southern portion. The Station is equipped with one medic engine including a fire truck and ambulance and staffed with two firefighters and one firefighter/paramedic at all times of the day.
Rancho Mirage Station No. 69 is located at 7175 General Ford Drive and is responsible for covering the northern portion of Rancho Mirage. Equipment at this station includes one medic engine and one medic unit. A total of three firefighters and two firefighters/paramedics are on duty 24 hours, 7 days a week.

In addition to the two fire stations located in Rancho Mirage, the Riverside County Fire Department operates five other fire stations in proximity to Rancho Mirage, in Thousand Palms, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and North Bermuda Dunes, which would assist the City in the event of a major incident.
Police Protection Services
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department provides police protection to the City under a service contract. The County operates one police station at 73705 Gerald Ford Drive in Palm Desert. The Palm Desert police station services both the city of Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. The station is staffed with 10 dedicated police personnel, 19 patrol deputies, and 4 non -dedicated deputies aided in patrol. Police response time can vary significantly, depending on the location of patrol cars at the time of the call. The average emergency response time for Priority 1 calls is 5.06 minutes.23
Schools
The Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) and Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD) provide public school services to Rancho Mirage.
The PSUSD operates an elementary school and a high school in the City. Rancho Mirage Elementary School is located at 42985 Indian Trail and is an educational facility for class levels K to 6 with a student body of 420, as recorded in 2016. Rancho Mirage High School is located at 31001 Rattler Road and provides service to class levels 9 to 12 for a student population capacity of 2,300. Currently students living in the City are required to attend middle school in surrounding communities. There are no DSUSD schools in Rancho Mirage.
Parks
The Parks and Trails Commission maintains and operates the parks and trails for recreational needs in the City. Currently the City has 5 parks, 1 located towards the City's northeastern corner and the remaining 4 located towards the western portion, along the Santa Rosa Mountains.
Additionally, 6 trails are located along the Whitewater Storm Channel and in the Santa Rosa Mountains.
Other Public Facilities
Rancho Mirage City Hall includes the Council chambers, administrative offices and support facilities, located at 69825 Highway -111, and the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory, located at 71100 Highway -111. These facilities provide services and amenities for the residents of the City.
15.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a.i-v) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT:
Fire Protection Services
The Rancho Mirage Station No. 69 will provide fire protection services to the Project site given the Station proximity to the Project, approximately 1.14 mile to the southwest. The professional staff will be able to access the Project site from Via Vail. The Project site will be 23 Consultation with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Lieutenant Christopher Ternes , April 2025.

designed according to the City's safety standards to ensure adequate access and mobility in the event of an emergency.
The Project would result in the build out of permanent residential buildings on a previously unoccupied and undeveloped parcel. The Project will increase the local population size and thus increase the demand for public services relating to fire protection. To reduce the probability for adverse effects to the Riverside County Fire Department, the Project will adhere to the state and regional fire regulation and safety code. The Fire Marshall will review the site plan to ensure Project compliance with all applicable standards. Additionally, the Project will be required to Developer Impact Fees to contribute its fair share to the financial cost of maintaining and equipping the Fire Station.
The implementation of state and regional codes and payment of mitigation fee assures the Project will cause less than significant impact to the availability, response rate, and effectiveness of the Riverside County Fire Department. As such, the Fire Department is expected to maintain its classification as an Insurance Service Office (ISO) Class 2.
Police Protection Services
The Palm Desert Sheriff Station, located approximately 1.13 miles southeast from the Project site, will provide police services to the property. The professional staff will be able to access the Project site from the proposed extension of Via Vail.
Given the Project will generate population growth, the need for police protection services is expected to increase as a result. To reduce potential impacts, the Project will be required to pay Developer Impact Fees to contribute to the financial cost of maintaining a well -staffed and equipped police department. With these measures in place, the Project's potential impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
Schools
The Project is expected to house families which will include school -aged children. The nearest school facility to the Project site is approximately 2.82 miles to the northwest. The high school has a student population capacity of 2,300 has and currently has 1,491 enrolled students.
Other schools will accommodate younger children in DSUSD's system. The Project would be required to pay a mitigation fee of $4.79 per square foot of the residential construction to offset impacts to schools.24
The development of the Project is not anticipated to exceed the capacity of local schools. The payment of the mitigation fee is expected to reduce potential impacts related to the Project's development. Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated.
Parks
There are a number of parks and trails throughout the City's planning area. The nearest to the Project site is the Rancho Mirage Dog Park located at the southeast corner of Via Vail and Key Largo Avenue 790 feet northwest from the site. The Project is not expected to cause the accelerated physical deterioration of the dog park or any local park since recreational amenities such as a swimming pool, playground, garden, and game court will be provided on - site. The local parks are likely to experience a marginal increase of weekly visitors as a result 24 Palm Springs Unified School District, Developer Fee, httos:// www.psusd.us/Pace/2400 , accessed May 2024.

of the Project, but adverse effects related to the increase are expected to be minimal. As such, impacts from the proposed development in relation to the physical condition of local parks and trails are expected to be less than significant.
Other Public Facilities
The Rancho Mirage City Hall is located 3.57 miles southwest of the Project. The likelihood of the government facility requiring the construction of a new facility as a byproduct to the Project's development is nil. No impacts would result.

16.1 Setting
Rancho Mirage consists of five public parks, one located towards the City's northeastern region and the other four located towards the south, along the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
The Rancho Mirage Dog Park, located at the southeast corner of Via Vail and Key Largo Avenue is the nearest public park to the Project site, approximately 790 feet to the northwest. Additionally, the City has six hiking trails, two of which are located along the Whitewater Storm Channel and the remaining four located in the Santa Rosa Mountains. Other recreational facilities such as the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory, is located along Highway -111 and approximately 3.70 miles southwest of the Project property.
16.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: On 5± acres of undeveloped desert land, the Project proposes the buildout of seven multi -family residential apartment buildings as well as outdoor recreational amenities including a playground, swimming pool, game field, and grilling station.
The Project will increase the local population size and thus the use of regional parks and recreational facilities. However, the increase is expected to be minimal given the inclusion of recreational amenities on -site. Therefore, potential impacts such as the physical deterioration of local recreational spaces are anticipated to be minimal. The Project does not warrant the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. As such, impacts to recreational spaces as a result of the Project's development are expected to be less than significant.

17.1 Setting
Circulation Network
The circulation network in Rancho Mirage consists of two regional routes including Highway -111 and Interstate -10, and local corridors varying in street classification dependent on their respective connectivity to local areas. In accordance with the City Circulation Plan, there are five street classifications which include, but are not limited to major arterials, minor arterials, and major collectors.
Major arterials are six -lane divided roadways that are highly trafficked and are main thoroughfares. Monterey Avenue, Bob Hope Drive, and Highway -111 are example of major arterials. Minor arterials are four -lane divided roadways that typically carry traffic along the perimeter of major development. This classification includes Gerald Ford Drive and Frank Sinatra Drive. Lastly, major collectors are four lane divided roadways that distribute traffic between low to high trafficked corridors. Examples include parts of County Club Drive and Morningside Drive.
These and all corridors within the City planning area are required to operate at a level of service (LOS) D or better. +

Public Transportation
The SunLine Transit Agency (STA) provides public transportation services to the City including fixed route bus services (SunBus) and on -demand rideshare service (SunRide). STA operates eleven bus routes, three of which cross or operate within Rancho Mirage. These SunBus routes include Route 1 (West Valley), Route 4, and Route 10 (Commuter Link).25 Non -Motorized Circulation
The City maintains more than 50 miles of sidewalks, bicycle lanes, golf cart paths, and multi -use trails within existing roadways and rights -of -way.
The Project site, located within a highly urbanized portion of the City's northeastern region, is bound by Key Largo Avenue to the west and Monterey Avenue to the east. Future extension of Via Vail to the north and along the property's eastern boundary is proposed as part of the Project buildout. Off -site road improvements include the following:
• Via Vail is proposed as a 2 -lane Local Collector extending from the northern property boundary to the southern boundary, with an on -street bike lane and sidewalk on the corridor's west side.
From Via Vail, the northern Project access point is proposed as a gated entry point, designed to accommodate separate visitors and resident entry lanes, with a minimum 50 foot stacking distance. A crosswalk is proposed for north -south crossing on the west of Via Vail and north Project access intersection. From Via Vail, the southern Project access point is proposed as a restricted gated outbound/exit only. A cross street stop sign is proposed within an outbound shared left -right lane. A crosswalk is proposed for north -south crossing on the west of Via Vail and south Project access intersection.
17.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Implementation of a residential development within an unoccupied parcel would increase the local population size which, in turn, would increase the number of vehicles traveling within the City's circulation system. An increase in single -car vehicle use can directly reflect a drop in LOS below acceptable levels. In order to evaluate the Project's potential impacts to the City's LOS policy, a traffic analysis was prepared by Urban Crossroad for the Project in December 2024 (Appendix l). The analysis incorporates the City's Transportation Analysis Policy and Riverside County's Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service and Vehicle Miles Traveled.
Project Traffic Volume
The report estimates the volume of daily trips generated by the Project once operational. Trip rates are based upon trip -generation statistics published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition (2021) for affordable housing. As shown in Table 26, the Project is anticipated to generate a total of 772 daily trips, 54 of which would occur in the morning peak hour and 70 in the evening peak hour. 25 SunLine Transit Agency, Fixed Route Bus Network, httos://infopoint.sunline.orc/InfoPoint, accessed March 2025.

Pro'ect Year 2026 Traffic Volume
Forecasted traffic conditions assume trip generation based on the proposed land use with buildout by 2026. An ambient growth factor of 4.04% (2 percent per year over 2 years, 2024 to 2026) is added to future traffic projections so as to account for the City's regional traffic growth. The results indicate that all intersections will continue to operate within the City's LOS standard of D or better. As such, traffic increases by the Project's implementation are not expected to have significant impacts to the local circulation system.

Cumulative Traffic Conditions
A total of 22 cumulative developments were identified as posing a potential cumulative effect in the local circulation system in connection with the Project buildout. Of the 22 cumulative developments, the proposed Via Vail Village project located immediately north of the site was included to account for traffic generated within the Project area by a future affordable housing development.
The ambient growth factor of 4.04 percent was also applied to future cumulative traffic conditions. As shown in Table 30, traffic from the proposed Project and other cumulative projects would not reduce LOS below acceptable levels. All intersections will continue to operate at a LOS D, at minimum.

Conclusion
Project generated traffic is not expected to cause traffic inefficiencies at any studied intersection under projected 2026 conditions or cumulative conditions, both of which account for regional traffic growth. All intersections will operate at acceptable LOS at or above an LOS D. Although the Project would have limited effects to the local circulation system, the traffic report makes the following recommendations as to ensure the buildout of Via Vail achieves acceptable peak hour operations with full occupancy of the Project, which have been incorporated into Project design.
• The northerly access entry design must accommodate separate visitor and resident entry lanes, with minimum 50 ft. stacking distance. A crosswalk should be provided for north - south crossing on the west leg of the Via Vail and north Project access intersection • The southerly access exit design is recommended to be modified to provide a minimum 25 ft spacing between exit gate and stop bar. A cross street sign control is recommended with one outbound share left -right lane. A crosswalk should be provided for north -south crossing on the west leg of the Via Vail and south Project access intersection The proposed Project would cause less than significant impacts to traffic movement within corridors at or near the Project site.
b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b), all lead agencies are required to adopt a VMT analysis approach in evaluating transportation impacts for a proposed project. However, prior to a full VMT analysis, projects are evaluated for proposed development, urban setting, and trip generation so as to determine whether an exemption is appropriate. The VMT screening for the Project (Appendix I) concluded that the Project is exempt from a VMT analysis based on the following:
• The Project's residential component meets the Project Type Screening criteria for Affordable Housing by having 100% affordable housing
• The Project's affordable housing will allow nearby interactions between Project residents, retail jobs, and retail services which will reduce auto VMT by encouraging pedestrian and bicycle activity. This determination of non -significant VMT impact is consistent with the intent of SB 743.
• The Project's location in a low VMT area for residential uses meets the map -based screening criteria and no further analysis is necessary.
Based on these findings, the Project would not be required to prepare a full VMT analysis given the development would not cause adverse effects related to an increase in vehicle miles traveled by nature of the land use within a highly urbanized area of Rancho Mirage. As such, potential impacts will be less than significant.
c, d) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Access points to the proposed Project would be provided by two entry/exit points on the north and south side along the property's frontage with Via Vail. Regional access to the site will be provided by Key Largo Avenue, Dinah Shore Drive, Monterey Avenue, and Interstate -10. Emergency vehicles will have access to the site via Key Largo and Via Vail. The design of the corridor will occur in accordance with the City's standards for a local roadway and other standards pursuant to the City Municipal Code. The design of the access points would be reviewed by the Police and Fire Departments as well as City of Rancho Mirage 97

18.1 Setting
The Coachella Valley is the original home of the Takic-speaking Cahuilla people. The Cahuilla people are generally divided into three groups based on their geographic settings and include (1) Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass -Palm Springs area, (2) Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains and the Cahuilla Valley, and (3) Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley.
Although geographically divided, these tribes interacted amongst themselves through trade, intermarriage, and ceremonies. The Cahuilla depended on the natural landscape for subsidence with their diet consisting of seeds, roots, wild fruits and berries, as well as common game animals and, when the Holocene Lake Cahuilla was present, fish and waterfowl. The Cahuilla hunted with throwing sticks, clubs, nets, traps, and scares, and other common tools included manos and metates, mortars and pestles, hammerstones, fire drills, awls, arrow -straighteners, and stone knives and scrapers. These lithic tools were made from locally sourced material as well as materials procured through trade and travel.

Cultivation practices became prominent in the Coachella Valley and helped the Cahuilla share the landscape. The planting of palms by the Cahuilla is well -documented as well as their burning practices to generate higher yields, control pests, and avoid the accumulation of dead undergrowth.
It is estimated the Cahuilla population ranged from 3,600 to as high as 10,000 people covering the Coachella Valley and greater southern California territory encompassing over 2,400 square miles, prior to European contact. During the 19th century, the Cahuilla population experienced a drastic decline as a direct result of European disease, most notably smallpox, for which the Native people had no immunity.
Today, Native Americans of Pass or Desert Cahuilla heritage are affiliated with one or more of the Indian reservations in and near the Coachella Valley including the Agua Caliente, Morongo, Cabazon, Torres Martinez, and Augustine. As part of their reservation land, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian is steward to 34,000 acres26 of desert land within regional cities including Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Rancho Mirage. In Rancho Mirage, a total of six Cahuilla cultural heritage sites were identified within the City boundary and one in the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI). Other sites are located adjacent or in proximity to the City which include the Bradley Canyon Trail, Magnesia Spring, and Edom Hill/Indio Hills.27 Under California Assembly Bill 52, local governments must request consultation with local Native tribes prior to considering new proposed development which would trigger a CEQA assessment.
Specifically, AB 52 updated CEQA guidelines to include a tribal cultural resource section in which a project would be categorized as causing significant impact if adverse changes to "tribal cultural resources". Public Resources Code Section 21074 defines "tribal cultural resources" as:
• Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects which cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following: included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources, or included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1
• A resource determined by the lead agency in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1.
In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1 for the purposes of this paragraph, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
• A cultural landscape that meets the criteria of subdivision (a) is a tribal cultural resource to the extent that the landscape is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape.
• A historical resource described in Section 21084.1, a unique archaeological resource as defined in subdivision (g) of Section 21083.2, or a "nonunique archeological resource" as defined in subdivision (h) of Section 21083.2 may also be a tribal cultural resource if it conforms with the criteria of subdivision (a).

18.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a,b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED: A historical/archeological resources survey report was prepared to assess the potential for cultural and tribal cultural resources within the Project's 5± acre parcel. A written request for records on tribal resources within a 1 -mile radius of the Project site was sent to the State of California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on April 16, 2024. The findings yield negative results for recorded tribal cultural resources at or within proximity to the Project.
Nonetheless, in accordance with the NAHC recommendation, ACBCI was consulted for additional information on potential tribal cultural resources in the vicinity. On April 22, 2024, a cultural resources analyst with ACBCI tribal historical preservation office, identified the Project as located within the tribe's Traditional Use area and request review of all cultural resource documents generated for the Project. Additionally, there was a request for a qualified archaeologist to perform a cultural resource inventory with an ACBCI resource monitor, prior to any development approval.
Although Tess than significant impacts were identified in the cultural resource report, the possibility for tribal resources to occur at the site cannot be completely ruled out, resulting in the implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-1 in Section 5 above. In addition, the City has undertaken consultation under AB 52, which began March 21, 2025, and concluding April 23, 2025. A total of 21 representatives from 11 local tribes were contacted and as of April 14, the City received two responses that did not wish to comment and one, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian Tribe (ACBCI) providing a response to consult. From the consultation meeting, ACBCI requested for on -site monitoring to be present at all times in regard to ground disturbance activities during the construction process. Additionally, preconstruction training will be conducted prior to construction and if the unexpected event human remains were to found on -site the necessary measures will be executed as stated in Mitigation Measure TRI-
3. All tribe -specific requirements associated with the protection and conservation of tribal cultural resources potentially located within the Project site are listed in Section 18.3 and subject to conditional approval.
18.3 Mitigation Measures:
TRI-1
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians must be notified a minimum of 30 days period to any earth -moving activities including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site. All earth -moving activities including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site shall be monitored by a qualified archeologist and/or approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s).
TRI-2 A qualified archeologist and approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall provide preconstruction training for all earthmoving construction personnel prior to the stat of any ground -disturbing activities, regarding how to recognize the types of Tribal Cultural Resources and/or City of Rancho Mirage 101
255

archaeological resources that may be encountered and to instruct personnel about action to be taken in the event of a discovery. Should cultural materials be discovered, they shall be recorded and evaluated in the field. The monitors shall be prepared to recover artifacts to avoid construction delays but must have the power to temporarily halt or divert construction equipment to allow for controlled archeological recovery if a substantial cultural deposits is encountered. If artifacts are discovered, these shall be cataloged and analyzed. The archeologist and monitor, in discussion with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office, shall determine and implement the best course of action for the treatment and disposition of the artifacts.
TRI-3 In the unexpected event human remains are uncovered during construction activities, all construction work taking place within the vicinity of the discovered remains must cease and the necessary steps to ensure the integrity of the immediate area must be taken. The County Coroner must be notified within 24 hours of the discovery of human remains. If the remains discovered are determined by the Coroner to be of Native American descent, the Coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours. The NAHC would in turn contact the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) would determine further action to be taken. The NLD would have 48 hours to access the site and make a recommendation regarding disposition of the remains.

19.1 Setting
Domestic Water
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) provides Rancho Mirage with domestic water drawn primarily from the Whitewater River subbasin, underlying the City. The CVWD operates a domestic water system consisting of 97 active wells, 2,000 miles of pipeline, and 133 million City of Rancho Mirage
257
103
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
gallons of storage in 65 enclosed distribution reservoirs. The CVWD service area encompasses regional cities including Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and Coachella28 to service a consumer base of 235,000 people.
All domestic water serviced by CVWD comes from groundwater basins. For Rancho Mirage, the West Valley portion of the Whitewater River subbasin is the City's main source of potable water.
Daily demand for potable water averages 240.9 acre feet (af) and CVWD delivers 87,959 AFY to its service area.29 The subbasin has a total storage capacity of 29.8 million af per year.39 In addition to domestic water services, CVWD, in collaboration with the Desert Water Agency (DWA), coordinates subbasin recharge efforts to ensure the Whitewater River subbasin's groundwater levels are not reduced substantially with the increased demand for potable water.
CVWD operates and maintains groundwater recharge facilities in three locations in the Coachella Valley, including the Palm Springs (WWR-GRF), the Thomas E. Levy GRF (TEL-GRF), and the Palm Desert GRF (PD-GRF). Each facility consists of multiple recharge ponds that collect stormwater, natural runoff from nearby mountains, and water imported from the Colorado River Aqueduct. These groundwater replenishment efforts ensure the local availability to groundwater in the foreseeable future.
Wastewater
The CVWD also provides wastewater and recycling services to its service area including Rancho Mirage. The CVWD wastewater reclamation system consists of approximately 1,100 miles of collection piping and 5 wastewater reclamation plants (WRPs). On a daily basis, CVWD's wastewater system collects and treats approximately 17 million gallons per day from nearly 95,000 individual connections. The main focus of the recycle water system is to provide non - potable water to regional golf courses and homeowners for irrigation purposes in an attempt to conserve the use of domestic water.
Solid Waste
Burrtec Waste Industries (Burrtec) is contracted by the City to provide solid waste management and disposal services to residential, commercial, and institutional properties/facilities. Most of the collected waste is transported to the Edom HiII Transfer Station, located at 70100 Edom Hill Road in Cathedral City. The landfill is a transfer station indicating that the waste will be processed at a local point before its final disposal site. The Edom Hill transfer station has a maximum permitted throughput of 3,500 tons per day and permitted capacity of 17,777 cubic yard for general waste such as agricultural, construction, food, green materials, industrial, metals, and the like.31 28 Coachella Valley Water District, CVWD Water Map, http://www.cvwd.org/333/CVWD-Map , accessed June 2024.

Electricity
Imperial Irrigation District (IID) provides a portion of Rancho Mirage with electricity services. IID is a not -for-profit utility district focused on the providing low service rates. Currently, IID service rates are lower than SCE rates. IID energy is derived in part by renewable sources including biomass, biowaste, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, and wind.
Natural Gas
Southern California Gas (SCG) is the gas utility provider servicing Rancho Mirage. SCG operates miles of transmission lines that run along Intertate-10 and high pressure distribution lines that intercept each service area including Rancho Mirage. The City's distribution line is located under Monterey Avenue and travels north -south with subsections branching off to specific regions.
Telecommunication
Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Capable) and Frontier Communications provide the City's telephone and capable service.
19.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project proposes the development of a multi -family residential apartment complex on 5± -acres of undeveloped land. No utility service or underground systems are present within the proposed parcel. As such, the Project warrants the extension of utility connections on -site from nearby development including residential communities to the west of Key Largo Avenue. According to the Project's conceptual grading plans, the extension of Via Vail adjacent to the property would include a public sanitary sewer line and public water main to connect the property with CVWD's domestic water and wastewater system. Implementation of these utility connections has been planned prior to the Project's proposal given that the property is zoned for residential use and thus, CVWD has anticipated the need to provide utility connection at the site once a formal development has been proposed and accepted by the City.
Other utility services including electricity, natural gas, and telecommunication follow the same framework of building internal frameworks so as to gradually accommodate a greater demand, on the basis of the City's forecasted growth. As described above, the Project is consistent with the City General Plan Land Use and development standards for a R-H/AHO and thus, utility expansion to accommodate the parcel's residential development has been planned in accordance with the City buildout. As such, the Project would not result in a significant environmental impact from the expansion or construction of new utility connections, as all expansions have been planned and are subject to the most current development standards and regulations designed to minimize environmental impact as mandated by CEQA. As such, less than significant impacts are anticipated.
b) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: The Project's development is expected to generate a water demand during construction and operation. The following section characterizes water usage at each phase of development and determine their respective potential for adverse effects onto CVWD's supply of potable water.
City of Rancho Mirage 105
259
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
Construction
For analysis purposes, a construction duration of 24 -month is assumed with a start date in February 2027 with buildout in 2029. During construction, hauling trucks are expected to deliver water to the site so as to irrigate the property in accordance with SCAQMD's fugitive dust control mandate under Rule 403. The site's irrigation will occur during ground disturbance, Including site preparation and grading. Irrigation needs for construction are therefore temporary and expected to occur for a short period. The Project's construction would not generate a permanent water demand and thus, water demand related to irrigation of the construction site would not cause substantial impact to CVWD's supply of potable water.
Operation
Once operational, the Project site will consist of seven multi -family residential apartment buildings, totaling 150 dwelling units, a Community Center, 948 sf swimming pool, and a landscape area of 42,802± sf. These land uses are described in Table 12 and Table 13 in Section 10 (Hydrology and Water Quality). As shown in those Tables, the Project's operational water demand for indoor and outdoor water use would total to 28.26 acres -feet per year (AFY).
The Project's annual water demand of 28.26 AFY would account for less than one percent (0.017% exactly) of the CVWD's total gross water supply of 164,966 AFY by 2045. 32Although water demand for landscaping is estimated at 2.80 AFY, the exact water demand for landscape irrigation is anticipated to be lower, considering the Project's compliance with Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Section 17.24.040(g) which mandates all vegetation used for landscape be drought -tolerant and water -efficient. In accordance with water efficient standards, the Project's permanent water demand would not substantially reduce groundwater supply served by CVWD.
Additionally, projected water demand for future years is estimated by the 2022 UWMP in accordance with local jurisdictions' land use. The Project is consistent with the parcel's land use of High -Density Residential with an Affordable Housing Overlay, and thus, the Project's proposal for a multi -family residential project within Rancho Mirage would not result in an unplanned development with a water demand beyond CVWD projected supply. As such, less than significant impact from the Project's water demand is anticipated. c) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: CVWD will also provide wastewater treatment services to the Project site. The treatment facility for the Project is WRP-4 located in Indio. According to the 2022 Urban Water Management Plan, WRP-4 has a treatment capacity of 9.9 -million gallons per day (gpd). Based on the Project's land use and total square footage, the site is estimated to generate 37,500 gallons of wastewater per day, which equates to less than one percent of WRP-4 daily treatment capacity, as shown in Table 31. Given the Project would not contribute to an excessive volume of wastewater treated by CVWD sewer system, related impacts are expected to be less than significant.

d) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: Burrtec provides solid waste services to residential, commercial, and institutional users in the City of Rancho Mirage. Most of the collected waste is transported to the Edom Hill Transfer Station, located at 70100 Edom Hill Road in Cathedral City, before the waste is transported to one of five landfills managed by the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources. These landfills include the Badlands Sanitary Landfill, Blythe, Desert Center, Lamb Canyon, and Oasis Sanitary Landfill. Table 32 lists each landfill and their remaining capacity. As shown, these landfills have a combined remaining capacity of 18.6 -million cubic yards (CY).

Construction Waste
The Project would generate solid waste during construction and operation. Construction - related waste would consist of cardboard, plastic, construction material, and similar material that must be recycled, reused, or repurposed in accordance with the City mandate to divert all recyclable construction waste from regional landfills as stated in City Municipal Code Section 7.07.060 (Construction and Demolition Debris Plan). In compliance with the City's diversion program, the Project would prepare a construction and demolition debris plan to estimate the volume of solid waste diverted from the Project's construction. Nonetheless, the Project is not anticipated to generate significant solid waste during construction given that no demolition will occur as part of the Project buildout. Therefore, construction -related solid waste would result in less than significant impact to regional landfills.
Operation Waste
At buildout, the Project site will include 150 dwelling units, a Community Center, and outdoor recreational spaces. Solid waste generated will largely result from residential activities. Based on the Project's proposed land use and size, the site is estimated to generate 164.45 CY of City of Rancho Mirage 107

According to the latest 2023 Fire Hazard model, Rancho Mirage is not located within an area with a moderate, high, or very high fire hazard classification.33 The nearest fire hazard area to the City is located within the Santa Rosa Mountains with a moderate to high fire hazard ranking. No areas within the City are identified as state responsibility areas. In the event of a fire emergency, the local jurisdiction will be responsible for providing immediate support.
20.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a -d) NO IMPACT: The City of Rancho Mirage receives fire protection services from the Riverside County Fire Department and coordinates its emergency response activities with the County's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) as well as the County's Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP). The Project site is not in or near a wildfire hazard area, and will not be subject to wildfire, given its urban setting, the lack of substantial vegetation on and around the site, and the development patterns in this portion of the City. Prior to construction, the Project plans will be reviewed by the City and the Fire Department to ensure that the Project will not conflict or impact the effective implementation of the emergency plans. In addition, the Project will be required to comply with all local safety regulations and standards, including the Fire Code, to ensure the appropriate preventative measures are being implemented to reduce the risk for fire or other natural hazards. No impacts will occur.

21.1 Discussion of Impacts:
a) LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED: As discussed in Section 4 (Biological Resources) of this report, the Project -specific biological resource assessment determined the property as having limited value as habitat for special status species considering the site's isolation, surrounding urban setting, level of disturbance, and lack of suitable substrate. For these reasons, most special status species identified as potentially occurring on -site have a low to very probability or are otherwise categorized as absent. As such, the probability for the Project to cause adversely affect or limit access to key habitats for special status species is negligible. No impacts to special status species would occur in connection to the Project construction and operation. Nonetheless, the site consists of dense desert shrubs that may be suitable for bird nesting. If construction activities are scheduled within the nesting season (mid -January to end of August), a preconstruction survey City of Rancho Mirage
265
111
Rancho Mirage Affordable Housing Family Apartments
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
May 2025
is mandatory so as to ensure the property does not house nesting birds. Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 is required in accordance with the Mitigatory Bird Treaty Act. The survey will also assure the absence of burrowing owls, even though no suitable burrows were identified on the site. Compliance with relevant plans, policies, standards, in addition to the mitigation measure would ensure the Project does not result in substantial impacts to any species. As such, less than significant impacts are anticipated with mitigation.
Section 5 (Cultural Resources) discussed the probability for historical and archeological resources to be uncovered at the Project site. As determined, the property does not include any historical resource. Although identified as a Traditional Use Area for local native American tribes, the field survey yielded no evidence to suggest the site may include significant cultural resources. But given the property has not been previously disturbed, the probability for cultural resources to be uncovered may not be completely ruled out. As such, all ground disturbance activities during construction must comply with Mitigation Measure CUL-1. The measure requires that all construction activities cease immediately and for a qualified archeologist to evaluate the findings so as to determine significance of the artifact. In accordance with Mitigation Measure CUL-1, less than significant impact would occur to cultural resources within the property boundary. Building from this, Section 18 (Tribal Cultural Resources), in accordance with tribal consultation, mandates Mitigation Measure TRI-1 through TRI-3 to be implemented, which would require preconstruction training prior to ground disturbance, on - site tribal monitoring, and preventative measures in the unexpected event human remains are encountered at the site. Implementation of these mitigation measures will avoid causing significant effect to nonrenewable cultural and tribal cultural resources and thus, the Project would result in less than significant impacts.
b) LESS THAN SIGNFICANT IMPACT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED: Cumulative impacts would result if the proposed Project, in combination with other proposed projects, would cause an impact to be cumulatively significant. In this case, the proposed Project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and its impacts have been studied in that context in the General Plan EIR. In addition, as described in this document, all impacts associated with this Project can be mitigated to less than significant levels. Similarly, other projects occurring in the City will be required to assess their impacts, and conformance with predicted growth patterns, to ascertain whether their development would exceed planned growth rates. In the case of the proposed Project, cumulative impacts will remain less than significant, and not cumulatively considerable.
c) LESS THAN SIGNFICANT IMPACT: Adverse effects to humans from development typically occur in connect to geologic hazards, air quality impacts, and noise. As described in this document, the Project will be designed and constructed to meet or exceed all Building Code requirements, so as to ensure that people living in the apartments are protected to the greatest extent from geologic hazards. Section 3 of this document demonstrates that the Project will not exceed any threshold established by the SCAQMD, including Local Significance Thresholds, and that sensitive receptors will not be exposed to high concentrations of air pollutants. Finally, the noise analysis clearly shows that noise levels at and from the Project site will not increase significantly, and will remain within the City's standards for Project residents and for surrounding sensitive receptors. Impacts to humans will be less than significant.
21.3 Mitigation Measures:
None required.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
A site -specific nesting bird survey shall be performed by a qualified ornithologist or biologist no more than 3 days prior to vegetation removal or ground disturbance activities. If active nests are found during the pre -construction nesting bird survey, the biologist shall assess the conditions and establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffer are species specific and shall be 100 to 300 feet for unlisted songbirds and at least 500 feet for birds- of -prey and species listed as threatened or endangered. The nesting area shall not be disturbed until the biologist has determined the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. The biologist has the authority to stop work if the nesting area exhibit signs of disturbance.
The Project's
assigned
ornithologist or
biologist, and the
City Planning
Department would
share monitoring
responsibilities.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
If buried materials are discovered during any earth -moving operations associated with the project, all work in the immediate area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the find.
The Project's
qualified
archeologist and
City Planning
Department would
share
responsibility.
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians must be notified a minimum of 30 days period to any earth -moving activities including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site. All earth- moving activities including grading, grubbing, trenching, or excavations at the site shall be monitored by a qualified archeologist and/or approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s).
A qualified archeologist and approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s) shall provide preconstruction training for all earthmoving construction personnel prior to the start of any ground -disturbing activities, regarding how to recognize the types of Tribal Cultural Resources and/or archaeological resources that may be encountered and to instruct personnel about action to be taken in the event of a discovery. Should cultural materials be discovered, they shall be recorded and evaluated in the field. The monitors shall be prepared to recover artifacts to avoid construction delays but must have the power to temporarily halt or divert construction equipment to allow for controlled archeological recovery if a substantial cultural deposits is encountered. If artifacts are discovered, these shall be cataloged and analyzed. The archeologist and monitor, in discussion with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office, shall determine and implement the best course of action for the treatment and disposition of the artifacts.
Project's qualified
archeologist and/or
ACBCI Cultural
Resource Monitor,
and City Planning
Department would
