Annual and Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report

DATE ITEM #
December 4, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR - 4C.

Presented To Presented By
Mayor and City Council Jacob De La Cruz, Financial Analyst

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Development Impact Fee Annual and Five-Year Report, and make the findings referenced in the staff report.

DISCUSSION
The City of Rancho Mirage Development Impact Fee (DIF) program was established in 2004 (Ordinance 881), transitioning the City from the License Tax Fee which was in place from 1973-2004.

Government Code §§ 66000-66025 (the "Mitigation Fee Act") regulates how public agencies collect, maintain, and spend impact fees imposed on developers for the purpose of defraying costs of public facilities. It includes requirements for accounting, spending, and annually reporting the fees and related interest earnings, and for findings if funds remain unspent for five or more years after receipt, and refunds if certain criteria are not met.

Government Code § 66006(b)(1) sets forth the specific reporting requirements that should be included in this report, the basics of which are detailed below.

A brief description of the type of fee in each account or fund; The amount of the fee;
The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund; The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned; An identification of each public improvement for which fees were expended and the amount of each expenditure;
An identification of the approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence; A description of any inter-fund transfer or loan and the public improvement on which the transferred funds will expend;
The amount of refunds made and any allocations of unexpended fees that are not refunded.

The attached document was prepared pursuant to the requirements set forth above and addresses them accordingly.

The City’s Development Impact Fee Nexus Analysis identifies a list of improvements for which this fee is to be used, as well as the portion of improvements to be funded by impact fee revenues. This study can be found on the Finance page of the City’s website. Specific other sources and amounts of funding anticipated to be used to complete improvements are determined on a project-by-project basis and are documented in the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program adopted by City Council. The exact date of impact fee collection and deposit of funding is impossible to predict, as impact fee revenue is dependent on economic cycles associated with development activity.

Further, Government Code Section (d)(1) requires the following finding be made for any fees that are not expended within 5 or more years after deposit, and must be made every five years thereafter:

• Identify the purpose to which the fee is put.
• Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. • Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements identified in Government Code 66001(a)(2).
• Designate the approximate dates on which funding referred to above is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account of funds.

Findings Pursuant to Government Code Section (d)(1):

Purpose of Fees:

The City maintains six DIF categories, each with a defined purpose:

1. General Government Facilities – Acquisition, construction, or expansion of general government buildings and equipment required to serve future development.

2. Fire Facilities – Acquisition, construction, or expansion of fire stations, apparatus, and related facilities required to meet increased demand results from new development.

3. Transportation Facilities – Construction or expansion of arterial roads, intersection improvements, traffic signalization, and related transportation infrastructure necessitated by new development.

4. Parks and Recreation Facilities – Acquisition or expansion of parkland, park facilities, and recreational amenities to serve future development.

5. Library Facilities – Acquisition, construction, or expansion of library facilities to serve future development.

6. Infrastructure Undergrounding – Undergrounding of utilities necessary to accommodate new development.

Reasonable Relationship:

The City reaffirms that a reasonable relationship continues to exist between:
a. the fee and the type of development on which it is imposed; and b. the public facilities for which the fee is collected.

Development activity requiring public facilities—including transportation capacity, fire protection infrastructure, parks, library services, general government space, and undergrounding improvements—has continued during the reporting period. The capital improvements identified in the Nexus Analysis are still required to ensure that new development does not reduce existing service standards. Without additional general government facilities, fire facilities, transportation facilities, parks and recreation facilities, library facilities and infrastructure undergrounding, the increase in demand associated with new development would result in a reduction in the level of service provided to all development and/or residents, as applicable, in the City. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees and development projects on which the fee is imposed because the facilities funded by the fees are needed to accommodate the incremental burdens generated by the new development upon which the fee is imposed. Additionally, the developments paying for the fees receive a benefit from the facilities funded by the fees.

Because these public facility needs remain, the balances being held continue to be reasonably related to the impacts generated by new development.

Funding Sources:

For each DIF category, the Nexus Analysis identifies the improvements to be funded and the portion of the improvement costs attributable to new development. The total cost of each improvement is anticipated to be funded through a combination of development impact fees, General Fund capital allocations, grants, regional transportation funding, and other available capital sources.

The fees held by the City represent only a portion of the total resources required to complete these improvements.

Additional funding is anticipated to be appropriated through the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program or obtained from external sources. No DIF category contains sufficient balance to fully fund every identified improvement; therefore, continued accumulation of DIF revenues is necessary to assemble adequate resources to commence construction.11

Approximate Construction Dates
Based on current development activity, capital planning timelines, and the availability of matching funds, the City currently anticipates expending the DIF balances on the following schedule:

Short-Term (1–3 years):
– Transportation corridor improvements and traffic signal upgrades – Fire facility capacity-expanding upgrades
– General government facility expansions
– Parks and recreational facility expansions

Mid-Term (3–5 years):
– Library facility improvements

Long-Term (5+ years or when sufficient revenues accumulate):
– Large-scale transportation improvements
– Multi-phase undergrounding projects
– Major facility acquisition, construction, or expansions requiring multiple funding sources

The City will continue to evaluate and prioritize projects annually through its Capital Improvement Program. Projects will commence as soon as sufficient resources are available to fully fund design, environmental (if applicable), and construction.

Determination:

Based on the content and findings set forth herein and in the attached Report, the City Council determines that:

The DIF balances have been collected for valid and continuing public facility purposes.

A reasonable relationship continues to exist between the fees and the impacts of new development.

The funds are necessary to complete identified facilities and are part of a multi-year financing plan that requires assembling adequate resources before construction can commence.

The anticipated timelines for project delivery remain appropriate given the nature of the improvements and the dependency on development-driven revenue.

Accordingly, no refund of Development Impact Fee revenues is required, and all unexpended balances are properly retained for their intended purposes.

Public Availability:

The Development Impact Fee Annual and Five-Year Report was made available to the public on November 6, 2025. A copy of the annual report was posted to the City’s Finance Division website and was delivered to the City Clerk for public accessibility at City Hall.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is created by accepting this annual report.

14 Annual and Five-Year DIF Report

3 facilities standard of general government facilities in the City of Rancho Mirage to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.

Fire Facilities – The purpose of the fire impact fee is to fund the fire facilities needed to serve new development.

Transportation Facilities – The purpose of this fee is to ensure the development of transportation facilities keeps pace with and can accommodate new development.

Park and Recreation Facilities – The purpose of the parkland and park facilities impact fee is to fund the park facilities needed to serve new development.

Library Facilities – The purpose of this fee is to ensure new library facilities are adequate to serve new development.

Infrastructure Undergrounding – The purpose of this fee is to ensure infrastructure undergrounding is adequate to serve new development.

The following pages contain annual summaries for FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25, as well as five- year reports for each fund. Included within the tables is each fund’s balance, interest earned, fees collected, and annual summaries including a list of public improvements funded by each fee, approximate construction dates for public improvements, interfund transfers or loans, and refunds.

The City’s Development Impact Fee Nexus Analysis located on the Finance page of the City’s website identifies a list of improvements for which this fee is to be used, as well as the portion of improvements to be funded by impact fee revenues. Specific other sources and amounts of funding anticipated to be used to complete improvements are determined on a project-by-project basis and are documented in the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program adopted by City Council.

The exact date of impact fee collection and deposit of funding is impossible to predict, as impact fee revenue is dependent on economic cycles associated with development activity.

In 2020-21 the use of $188,786 for the "rehabilitation" of the Butler Abrams Trail is inappropriate. This Fund account needs to be reimbursed from another source.

Please explain the $123,411 of Library Funds used for the Annenberg Room Improvements. If these funds were used for anything other than the • expansion in capacity of this room, this Fund account needs to be reimbursed from another source.

In 2021-22 Transportation Funds were again used to support the Butler Abrams Trail pavement rehabilitation project. This Fund account needs to be reimbursed from another source.

In 2022-23 the use of Fire Facilities Funds in the amount of $589,042 for seismic and building upgrades is an inappropriate use of Mitigation Fee Act funds. This Fund account needs to be reimbursed from another source. ecu 1ve

City Council Staff Report

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the Year Ended June 30, 2025, and Other Related Audit Reports

DATE ITEM #
December 4, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR - 4D.

Presented To Presented By
Mayor and City Council Kofi Antobam, Director of Administrative Services

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended June 30, 2025, and other related audit reports.

DISCUSSION
Annually, the City retains an independent auditor to perform an audit of its financial activities. The FY 2024-25 audit was performed by the external audit firm, Eide Bailly LLP, Certified Public Accountants. The results of the audit and related reports were reviewed with the City staff and final reports issued.

The ACFR for the Year Ended June 30, 2025, and other related audit reports were issued on November 18, 2025.

The City received an Unmodified Opinion, which is a clean opinion, from the City’s external independent auditors on the June 30, 2025, ACFR. A copy of the ACFR is publicly available on the City’s website. The auditors did not report any internal control deficiencies over financial reporting, compliance and other matters. The ACFR will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) award program for excellence in financial reporting.

There was no Single Audit - a separate audit required under Federal law for entities that spend $750,000 or more in federal funds in a fiscal year – since the City did not meet this threshold for the period ended June 30, 2025.

In addition to ACFR, the Library and Observatory, and Writers Festival Foundations’ standalone reports received clean audit opinions and will be presented to their respective Board of Directors for approval.

The following reports are on file with the City Clerk:

1. Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

2. Internal Control Report

3. GANN Limit Agreed Upon Procedures Report

4. SAS 114 Communication Letter

5. Library and Observatory Foundation standalone financial statements and related reports

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-SA-(Next-in-Order), Approving and Adopting a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Pursuant to Assembly Bills 26x1 and 1484.

DISCUSSION
With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies under AB 26x1, as subsequently amended by AB 1484, redevelopment successor agencies have been required to prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) for approval by the local oversight board and the California Department of Finance (“DOF”). Health & Safety Code Section 34177(m) requires successor agencies to submit the ROPS in the manner prescribed by DOF following approval by their oversight boards. The ROPS is reported on an annual basis.

The attached ROPS 26-27 covering the Fiscal Year 2026-27 period is due to DOF on February 1, 2026, and is scheduled for consideration and approval by the Countywide Oversight Board at its regular meeting on January 15, 2026. If a successor agency does not submit its ROPS by the deadlines prescribed by DOF, the city that created the former redevelopment agency shall be subject to a civil penalty equal to $10,000 per day for every day the schedule is not submitted to DOF.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Successor Agency requests $9,283,401 during the Fiscal Year 2026-27 cycle as follows:

Debt Service payments and related costs of $5,693,401.

Shortfall of $3,340,000 in funds available for debt service payments.

WHEREAS, the Oversight Board dissolved by operation of law on or after July 1, 2018, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179, and the Riverside County-wide oversight board (“County Oversight Board”) assumed all fiduciary responsibilities to holders of enforceable obligations and the taxing entities that benefit from distributions of property tax and other revenues pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34188; and WHEREAS, the Successor Agency is obligated under the 2003A-1 Tax Allocation Bond Indenture to make debt service payments, and such obligation has been a long standing duly Recognized Obligation of the Successor Agency; and WHEREAS, the 2003A-1 Tax Allocation Bond Indenture debt service payment of $3,340,000 became due on April 1, 2025 (the “Debt Service”), but was inadvertently omitted from the ROPS for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; and
WHEREAS, the Successor Agency desires to recognize the omitted 2003A-1 Tax Allocation Bond Indenture debt service payment pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 34177 as a new enforceable obligation to be listed on the ROPS for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Since the original execution of the agreement, staff has extended both the term and total compensation as needed during each fiscal year. On-call contracts can be a very useful tool for staff in accommodating the needs of the City without hiring additional full time staff members.

Staff would like to continue using Michael Baker International for on-call engineering services and extend the current contract until June 30, 2026. Additionally, MBI has updated its fees and charges and is attached.

Fiscal Impact:

Add $25,000 to the existing contract taking its cumulative amount to $120,000 since calendar year 2021. Funds are available in 10131000. This is an on-call contract, the vendor can only bill for services rendered to the City.

DATE ITEM #
December 4, 2025 PUBLIC HEARINGS - 5A.

Presented To Presented By
Mayor and City Council Ben Torres, Planning Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Approve the filing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2025070800) based on Environmental Assessment Case No. EA24-0009;
2) Approve Minor Variance Case No. VAR24-0005; and
3) Approve Tentative Tract Map Case No. TTM24-0003 (TTM 38971), subject to the Conditions of Approval, and based on the content and Findings in the staff report.

DISCUSSION
Background and Request
The applicant, Phillip Fomotor, is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 38971 to create a sixteen-lot single-family residential subdivision. The 19.81 acre project site is zoned Residential Estate (R-E) and currently consists of 8 lots located north of the intersection of Mirage Cove Drive and Peterson Road.

On November 6, 2025, the item was presented to the City Council but was continued to the November 20, 2025, City Council meeting per staff’s recommendation to allow for further consideration of public comments received.

The item was continued again on November 20, 2025, to the December 4, 2025, City Council meeting to allow staff additional time to work with the applicant on revising the project.

The project plans (Attachment 11) have been revised, and conditions of approval (Attachment 3) have been updated from those presented at the November 6th City Council meeting. The following is a summary of the modification made to the project based on the public comments received from the neighborhood:

Peterson Road, Nielson Road, and Mirage Cove Drive (east of Peterson Road) will be classified from public to private streets. Kelley Lane will continue to remain a private street.

The previously proposed 46 foot wide Right of Way south of Lot 7 is reduced to 15 feet for trail purposes.

All prior conditions related to curb and gutter have been removed for the proposed private streets.78 •
•
•

A temporary hammerhead for fire department circulation is proposed at the end of the Phase 1 on Peterson Road.

Condition of Approval #27 has been updated to reflect that all streets that are a part of the subdivision except for Mirage Cove Drive (between Neilson Road and Peterson Road) will be private.

Condition of Approval #28 ensures that access to the Butler Abrams trail is provided and that trails shown on the map are maintained by the formed homeowner’s association.

Condition of Approval #29 has been added for existing public Right of Way and provides a mechanism for additional parcels and roadway sections to be annexed that are not a part of the Tentative Tract Map.

Condition of Approval # 53 ensures that Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are established for the maintenance of all private streets and common areas.

Lot 8 is now .97 acres.

Project Summary
The proposed project will subdivide eight existing parcels totaling 19.81 gross acres into sixteen single-family residential lots. The residential subdivision will not be gated, similar to other residential developments in the vicinity.

The project site has frontages along Mirage Cove Drive, Nielson Road, Peterson Road, and Kelley Lane. The applicant has confirmed that access to the proposed parcels will be from Peterson Road. The subdivision of the project site will be proposed in two phases, Phase 1 includes the subdivision of three (3) southern parcels into eight (8) lots, identified as Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16. Once Phase 1 is subdivided architectural plans will be proposed for development of these parcels. Phase 2 will happen at a future date which includes the subdivision of five (5) northern parcels into eight (8) lots, identified as Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12. Once phase 2 is subdivided architectural plans will also be proposed for these lots.

The project also proposes a Minor Variance to reduce the 1-acre minimum lot size for one out of the sixteen proposed lots that have a size of .97 acres. All other lots will have sizes that meet the 1-acre requirement. The overall project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre, which complies with the maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per net acre under the R-E zoning district.

Detailed site planning, building footprints, floor plan, exterior design, landscaping, and grading will be submitted for review during the development review application process for the future development of the proposed parcels. The development of the proposed parcels will be subject to the development standards of the underlying zoning district in effect at the time of application submittal.

1.55 acres. The overall project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre, which complies with the maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per net acre under the R-E zoning district.

Planning Commission
On October 9, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed project. Staff presented the highlights of the proposed project, and four public comments were received during the public hearing. As summarized in the meeting minutes attached to this report, the Commissioners asked questions which the staff addressed. After due consideration of the staff report and public testimony, the Planning Commission made the following motion, which included additional conditions of approval as recommended by staff.

The Planning Commission also directed staff to review the inclusion of the equestrian trail. Staff reanalyzed the equestrian trail issue raised and based on our review of a Circulation Plan from 1981 (Resolution No. 81-60), equestrian trails were not planned for the area south of lot 7 implementation of the plan has been inconsistent along the designated portions. However, Condition of Approval No. 26 requires right of way dedication south of lot 7 at a width of 46’ for future connectivity.

Environmental Determination
An Environmental Assessment form was submitted for the project, and the determination was made that the project required an initial study. An Initial Study has been prepared to result in the recommendation to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15070. Mitigation measures were recommended for Biological Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in The Desert Sun newspaper on July 20, 2025, and distributed to interested parties. The thirty-day public review period for the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration commenced on July 21, 2025, and ended on August 19, 2025. During the review period, the City received one formal letter from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) commenting on the Draft IS/MND requesting additional mitigation measures to be incorporated. While the City is not required to respond to comments on an IS/MND, Sections 21091(d)(1) and 21092.5 of the Public Resources Code (PRC) and Section 150874 (b) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines require that prior to project approval a Lead Agency must consider all comments received before making a final determination on the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Responses to comments received were prepared and have been incorporated into the draft revised IS/MND and included as Attachment 4. Those who provided comments were individually notified with the public hearing notice on September 24, 2025. 81 •

Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) Tribal Consultation
State law requires public agencies in California to formally consult with Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with a project's geographic area, during the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. Eleven potentially interested tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) were contacted pursuant to AB 52 for information regarding their knowledge of cultural resources that were within or near the project area. Tribes had thirty days from the date of receipt of the notice to request consultation. Four tribes (Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, Pechanga Band of Indians, and Quechan Tribe of the For Yuma) provided a response to the AB 52 Consultation Request Letter sent by the City of Rancho Mirage by certified mail on February 11, 2025. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and the Pechanga Band of Indians were the only tribe to request a formal consultation in their letters dated March 7, 2025 and March 25, 2025. Consultation was concluded with all participating tribes on May 14, 2025. No additional requests for formal consultation were received, and the AB 52 noticing period was concluded.

Noticing Requirement
RMMC Section 17.74.020, Hearing and notice, requires that all property owners, as shown on the county’s latest equalized assessment roll, within a 500-foot radius of the boundaries of the subject parcel(s) be notified of matters requiring a public hearing. If the number of property owners to whom the notice would be mailed is less than 25, then the mailing radius is required to be increased to 1,000 feet as measured from the exterior boundaries of the subject parcel.

On October 22, 2025, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the parcel boundary and posted at the City’s designated community posting sites pursuant to the requirements of RMMC Chapter 17.74.

Background and Request
The applicant, Phillip Fomotor, is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 38971 to create a sixteen-lot single-family residential subdivision. The subject property is zoned Residential Estate (R-E) and consists of a

19.81-acre project site currently consisting of 8 lots located north of the intersection of Mirage Cove Drive and Peterson Road. The proposed project requests approval of a Minor Variance to the Residential Estate (R-E) minimum required lot size from 1 acre to .98 acre for two of the proposed lots (lots 8 & 9) in order to be compatible with the established lot sizes of the immediate area and due to existing site constraints. The site constraints include having three street frontages for these two proposed lots with right-of-way dedications on each frontage and being surrounded on all sides with roads or property not part of the project site. No single-family residence architectural plans or landscaping plans are proposed as part of this project. Per Condition of Approval No. 2 development of the property shall require the appropriate entitlement process as determined by the Planning Division at which time architectural plans and landscaping plans for the individual lots will be reviewed.

The following entitlements are requested: Environmental Assessment (EA24-0009), Minor Variance (VAR24-0005), and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM24-0003).

Site and Surrounding General Plan, Zoning and Land Uses The 19.81-acre project site contains scattered vegetation and is currently vacant. Due to the configuration of the proposed subdivision it has frontages along various streets which include Nielson Road, Peterson Road, Mirage Cove Drive, and Kelley Lane. Part of the project site also borders the Whitewater Storm Channel. The site also shows signs of past disturbance.

The General Plan and zoning of the project site is R-E (Residential Estate with a maximum of one dwelling unit per net acre). The following table describes the surrounding land uses located adjacent to the subject property:

Project Description
85 The proposed project will subdivide eight existing parcels totaling 19.81 gross acres into sixteen single-family residential lots. The residential subdivision will not be gated, similar to other residential developments in the vicinity.

Access to the proposed parcels will be provided by various public streets which include Mirage Cove Drive, Nielson Road, and Peterson Road. One private street, Kelley Lane will also provide access. The subdivision of the project site will be proposed in two phases, Phase 1 includes the subdivision of three (3) southern parcels into eight (8) lots, identified as Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16. Once Phase 1 is subdivided architectural plans will be proposed for development of these parcels. Phase 2 will happen at a future date which includes the subdivision of five (5) northern parcels into eight (8) lots, identified as Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12. Once phase 2 is subdivided architectural plans will also be proposed for these lots. No single family home architectural plans are part of this current request.

The project also proposes a Minor Variance to reduce (two percent reduction) the 1-acre minimum lot size for two out of the sixteen proposed lots that have a size of .98 acres. All other lots will have sizes that range from 1 acre to

1.55 acres. The overall project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre, which complies with the maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per net acre under the R-E zoning district.

The proposed land use and gross lot size of each parcel is provided in the table below:

Analysis
Review Authority
The proposed project requires separate, but interrelated approvals: a Minor Variance to the Residential (R-E) minimum required lot size from 1 acre square feet to .98 acres for only two out of the sixteen proposed lots in order to be compatible with the established lot sizes of the immediate area; and a Tentative Tract Map to allow a sixteen- lot single-family residential subdivision with lots ranging in size from .98 acres square feet to 1.55 acres. The analysis that follows provides the basis for staff’s recommendation to approve the Minor Variance and Tentative Tract Map applications.

Minor Variances allow for adjustments to the City’s development standards for a particular property due to special circumstances. The Tentative Tract Map application is reviewed for the location, design, configuration, and potential impacts of the proposed use. Therefore, the findings to approve a Minor Variance to allow the reduction of the minimum lot size requirement from 1 acre to .98 acres would be made prior to consideration of the proposed residential subdivision.

The following analysis provides the foundation for the findings in the staff report. Together, the analysis and findings support staff’s recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the project and all its components, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Attachment 2.86

Minor Variances (Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Chapter 17.50) Minor Variances are exemptions which can grant up to ten (10) percent of the standard being modified for development standards like minimum parcel size and provide relief from the City’s development standards triggered by unusual or special circumstances on the property such as location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other condition where the application of the City’s development standards denies property owners privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates an unnecessary, non-self-created hardship or unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with the development standards.

Minor Variances may be granted when the strict application of the City’s development standards denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts or creates an unnecessary and non-self-created hardship or unreasonable regulation which makes it obviously impractical to require compliance with the development standards.

In compliance with State law, specific “findings” must be made before a decision-making body may approve a Minor Variance. After evaluating the information submitted by the applicant and analyzing relevant facts, staff concludes that approval of the Minor Variance is appropriate based on the following findings:

1. Special Circumstances: The two lots out of sixteen that propose .98-acre lot sizes are subject to additional right-of-way dedications and parkway requirements along Mirage Cove Drive, Nielson Road, and Peterson Road. These constraints reduce the buildable area of the project site and limit the applicant’s ability to design a subdivision that complies with the current minimum lot size standard. The reduced lot sizes are compatible with adjacent residential development, which has similar site conditions. In addition, due to the subdivisions scattered parcel location the location of lots 8 & 9 is surrounded by existing streets or existing development on all sides so the lot sizes cannot be readjusted to meet the 1 acre minimum. As such, a Minor Variance is necessary to account for these site constraints and to allow for a compatible subdivision design.

2. Preservation of Property Rights: Granting the Minor Variance allows the property to be developed similarly to other nearby properties given the constraints on the two subject lots (8 & 9) with three public streets surrounding these lots in addition to property not part of the project site to the north. Many neighboring lots are smaller than the current 1-acre minimum lot size. The Minor Variance would ensure that the property owner can subdivide the property with similar lot sizes to what is already existing in the neighbored due to the constraints on this portion of the project site.

3. No Detrimental Effects: The Minor Variance will not harm public health, safety, or welfare. The subdivision has been designed to comply with applicable safety standards, including emergency access, fire protection, and drainage. The project does not increase density beyond what is permitted, nor does it introduce any use or physical condition that would negatively affect adjacent properties.

4. Consistency with Surrounding Properties: The variance does not grant a special privilege. The proposed lot sizes align with the established neighborhood pattern, which includes lots of varying sizes due to the earlier subdivision of properties. The Minor Variance maintains compatibility with surrounding homes and does not introduce any uses outside of those permitted in the R-E zoning district.

5. General Plan and Neighborhood Compatibility: The proposed subdivision aligns with the City's General Plan, supporting low-density large lot residential uses in the area.

While the proposed lot sizes range from approximately .98 acre to 1.55 acres, only two lots are .98 acres in size slightly below the 1 acre minimum due to right of way dedications and are .02 acre smaller than what is typically required in the R-E district. The reduction is minimal and does not result in a development intensity that exceeds what is envisioned in the General Plan. The request for a Minor Variance is reasonable given the project’s conformance with density standards and the overall compatibility of the subdivision design with the surrounding built environment.

As designed and conditioned, the proposed project preserves the intent of low-density development, enhances the existing neighborhood fabric, and contributes to the City’s goals for quality residential growth.

Tentative Map (Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Section 16.12.065) A tentative map is a map approving the division of land for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing, and is governed by the Subdivision Map Act. A tentative map prescribes how the land is to be subdivided. The City’s Subdivision Ordinance (Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Title 16 Subdivisions) establishes the minimum standards for the design of the lots, and the public improvements which serve them.87

Once a tentative map is approved, the refined final map is approved by the City Council if deemed by the City Engineer to be in substantial conformance with the tentative map. The final map is then recorded with the Riverside County Recorder’s Office, after which the newly created parcels may be individually sold and developed pursuant to the underlying General Plan and zoning regulations.

Subdivision Design
The proposed subdivision complies with the City’s Development Code standards, except for the minimum lot size standard for the Residential Estate (R-E) zoning district, for which the applicant is requesting a Variance.

Residential lot sizes range from .98 acres to 1.55 acres, resulting in an overall project density of .90 dwelling units per net acre. The following table compares the proposed subdivision with the City’s Development Code standards for the R-E zoning district:

Development
Feature Development Standards Proposed Meets Requirements Parcel Width Minimum 100 ft.Parcel widths range from 109.5 ft. to 179.23 ft.Yes
Parcel Depth Minimum 100 ft.Parcel depths range from
284.06 ft. to 671.57 ft.Yes
Lot Size Minimum 1 acre .98 acres to 1.55 acres Yes, with approval of Minor Variance
Maximum Density 1 dwelling units per net
acre maximum .90 units per acre Yes

As set forth in the above analysis, and with Minor Variance approval, the subdivision is in conformance with the Rancho Mirage General Plan, Rancho Mirage Municipal Code, and all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act.

Access and Circulation
The proposed subdivision will not be gated. Access to the proposed parcels will be provided by various public streets which include Mirage Cove Drive, Nielson Road, and Peterson Road. One private street, Kelley Lane will also provide access. The proposed public and private roadway dimensions meet both City and Fire Department standards, as conditioned. Overall, the subdivision’s design complies with the surrounding neighborhood

Grading and Drainage
The entirety of the project area has been disturbed in the past and currently remains vacant with scattered vegetation. The 19.81-acre project site is relatively flat with pad elevations ranging from 258.5 feet to 262.7 feet above sea level. These elevations were determined based on the site’s topography and have been reviewed by the City Engineer. The existing terrain drains from the south, and the overall drainage pattern will generally remain consistent post-development, flowing from north to south.

To manage stormwater on-site, retention basins are proposed at the southern end of each parcel: The project’s grading and drainage design ensures that all stormwater and nuisance water will be contained on-site. The basins will be sized to accommodate runoff from a worst-case 100-year storm event affecting the project’s half-street frontage.

The Preliminary Hydrology Study for the proposed subdivision is on file with the Planning Division. As conditioned, the applicant is responsible for submitting the final hydrology report and grading plans to the Engineering Division for review and approval.

Additional Correspondence
As part of the subdivision review, staff sent notices to the Public Works Department, Riverside County Fire Marshal’s Office, and all public utility companies and service agencies regarding the proposed subdivision. All utility providers, including gas, water, sewer, and cable/telecommunication services, are expected to serve the proposed parcels. Any comments received have been incorporated into this report and the Conditions of Approval. 88 Environmental Determination
An Environmental Assessment form was submitted for the project, and the determination was made that the project required an initial study. An Initial Study has been prepared to result in the recommendation to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15070. Mitigation measures were recommended for Biological Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in The Desert Sun newspaper on July 20, 2025, and distributed to interested parties. The thirty-day public review period for the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration commenced on July 21, 2025, and ended on August 19, 2025. During the review period, the City received one formal letter from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) commenting on the Draft IS/MND requesting additional mitigation measures to be incorporated. While the City is not required to respond to comments on an IS/MND, Sections 21091(d)(1) and 21092.5 of the Public Resources Code (PRC) and Section 150874 (b) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines require that prior to project approval a Lead Agency must consider all comments received before making a final determination on the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Responses to comments received were prepared and have been incorporated into the draft revised IS/MND and included as Attachment 4. Those who provided comments were individually notified with the public hearing notice on September 24, 2025.

On September 24, 2025, public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the parcel boundary and posted at the City’s designated community posting sites pursuant to the requirements of RMMC Chapter 17.74. Notification of the public hearing was published in The Desert Sun newspaper on September 28, 2025. Any information addressed to the Planning Commission, but received after completion of this final report, will be distributed at the public hearing. No comments have been received as of the publication date of this report.

FINDINGS
Pursuant to RMMC Section 17.50.060 Findings and decision, the review authority may approve a Minor Variance in whole or in part, with conditions, only if all of the following findings are made:

1. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, or topography so that the strict application of this title denies the property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning district classification. Special circumstances apply to the subject property due to its scattered parcel location with parcels fronting various public and private streets and the fact that this subdivision is only considered continuous since property lines meet at the center of existing streets. The Minor Variance is only proposed for lots 8 & 9 which are surrounded by three public streets and property that is not part of the project site, which results in constraints given that lot sizes cannot be readjusted to meet the 1 acre minimum and that right-of-way dedications are required for all three streets further reducing the lot sizes. Both lots 8 & 9 propose lot sizes of .98 acres, which is a small deviation from the 1-acre minimum lot size required in the R-E zone. In addition, many residential lots in the vicinity have lot sizes that are less than 1 acre. Without a Minor89

Variance, strict application of the current minimum lot size standard would prevent the property from being subdivided for the two subject lots in a manner that is consistent with the established neighborhood pattern and typical lot sizes. Therefore, the Minor Variance is warranted to account for these site constraints and to allow a compatible subdivision design in accordance with General Plan Program LU 3.1B.

2. Granting the minor variance:

A. Is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zoning district and unavailable to the property for which the minor variance is sought. The proposed Minor Variance is necessary to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right that is already possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zoning district but is unavailable to the subject property for the proposed lots 8 & 9 under current development standards due to right-of-way dedications on three street frontages.

Without this Minor Variance, the subject property would be unable to develop two lots that are consistent with the established neighborhood pattern, limiting the property owner’s ability to use their property comparably to others nearby. The Minor Variance ensures equitable treatment by allowing development compatible with surrounding properties and existing neighborhood character in accordance with General Plan Program LU 3.1B.

B. Would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. The proposed Minor Variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements. The subdivision has been designed and conditioned to comply with applicable safety standards, including emergency access, fire protection, and drainage. The project does not increase density beyond what is permitted, nor does it introduce any use or physical condition that would negatively affect adjacent properties. In addition, the project will be subject to review and approval by the Building and Safety Division, Engineering Division, and Riverside County Fire Department to ensure compliance with all health and safety codes.

These safeguards, combined with the project’s compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, ensure that the Minor Variance will not result in adverse impacts on the community.

C. Does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other property in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located. The proposed Minor Variance to reduce by two percent the minimum lot size from 1 acre to .98 acres for two (2) out of the sixteen (16) proposed lots does not constitute a special privilege, as it aligns with the existing development pattern in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed subdivision includes lots ranging in size from .98 acres to 1.55 acres. The proposed lot sizes are consistent with the established lot sizes in the area and do not grant any advantage beyond what has historically been permitted for similarly situated properties. The Variance serves to maintain neighborhood compatibility, rather than granting a special privilege.

D. Does not allow a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel. The proposed Minor Variance does not authorize any use or activity that is not otherwise permitted by the zoning regulations for the project site. The current General Plan and zoning designation for the project site is Residential Estate (R-E), which allows for large lot single-family residential uses. The proposed project involves the subdivision of land for single-family homes at a density of .90 dwelling units per net acre, which is within the allowable density of 1 unit per net acre under both the General Plan and zoning designations.

E. Would not be inconsistent with the general plan. The proposed project is consistent with the City’s General Plan in that the current General Plan and zoning designation for the project site allows for the subdivision of property. The current General Plan and zoning designation for the project site is Residential Estate (R-E). The R-E zoning district identifies appropriate areas for large lot single-family uses. The General Plan density limit allows up to one dwelling unit per net acre, and the proposed project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre. The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation in terms of land use, and the design and appearance of the project is compatible with the surrounding community as follows:

Land Use and Neighborhood Compatibility: The subdivision will create sixteen single-family residential lots, contributing to the City’s housing stock. The proposed lot sizes remain generous and consistent with the scale of neighboring90 0 developments. The layout mirrors adjacent large residential lots. While the proposed subdivision utilizes a slightly reduced lot size minimum for two of the lots, it retains appropriate setbacks and open space, minimizes grading impacts, and preserves natural drainage patterns. The proposed design aligns with the established development pattern, supporting neighborhood continuity and cohesion in accordance with General Plan Program LU 3.1B.

While the proposed lot sizes range from approximately .98 acres to 1.55 acres, slightly below the 1 acre minimum required in the R-E zoning district, the reduction for two of the .98 acre lots is minimal (two percent reduction) and does not result in a development intensity that exceeds what is envisioned in the General Plan. The request for a Minor Variance is reasonable given the project’s conformance with density standards and the overall compatibility of the subdivision design with the surrounding built environment.

3. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Environmental Assessment form was submitted for the project, and the determination was made that the project required an initial study. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH Number 2025070800) was prepared based on Environmental Case No. EA24-0009 and pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. The document contains mitigation measures pertaining to Biological Resources, and Tribal Cultural Resources. Environmental impacts will be less than significant with implementation of the project’s mitigation measures.

Pursuant to RMMC Section 16.12.065 Action on tentative tract maps, the review authority may approve a tentative tract map may be approved only if the following findings are made:

1. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the City’s General Plan as specified in Section 65451 of the California Government Subdivision Map Act. The current General Plan and zoning designation for the project site is Residential Estate (R-E). The R-E zoning district identifies areas appropriate for large lot single-family uses. The allowable maximum density is one dwelling unit per net acre. The overall project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre, which complies with the maximum density under the R-E zoning district. As conditioned, the proposed tentative map is consistent with the City’s General Plan and Subdivision Map Act.

2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance requirements, as conditioned. As set forth in the above analysis, the proposed subdivision is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, zoning, and all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, as conditioned. The development of the proposed parcels will be subject to the development standards of the underlying zoning district in effect at the time of application submittal.

3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development, as conditioned. The proposed parcels comply with the majority of the City’s Development Code standards for the underlying zoning designation, Residential Estate (R-E). The project site is physically suitable for the type of low-density residential development with proposed lots that are primarily 1 acre minimum in size with the exception of two out of the sixteen lots that have lot sizes of .98 acres. The overall project density is .90 dwelling units per net acre, which complies with the maximum density under the R-E zoning district.

4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, as conditioned. The proposed subdivision has an overall density of .90 dwelling units per net acre, which does not exceed the maximum permitted density of one dwelling unit per net acre under the R-E zoning district. In addition, the applicant shall comply with the recommendations of the Mitigated Negative Declaration.

No residential development is being proposed in conjunction with the proposed subdivision.

5. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project has been reviewed91

for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on the implementation of the project’s Biological Resource Mitigation Measures, there would be no potential significant negative impacts upon environmental quality and natural resources. The project site is surrounded by existing developments to the in all directions. The project site has been partially disturbed in the past, and any site development will have to comply with the mitigation measures and requirements of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed project has less than a significant impact with the incorporation of mitigation measures provided in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration.

6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems, as conditioned. As part of the subdivision review, staff sent notices to the Public Works Department, Riverside County Fire Marshal’s Office, and all public utility companies and service agencies regarding the proposed subdivision. As conditioned, agencies are expected to provide service to the proposed parcels, including providers of electricity, gas, water, sewer, and cable telecommunication services. Noise and fugitive dust associated with grading and construction of this project shall be mitigated through compliance with the proposed project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration and the City’s Municipal Code provisions regarding dust control and construction hours.

Lastly, permits are required to be obtained to construct the new site improvements. No public health impacts are expected, as conditioned.

7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision, as conditioned. As part of the subdivision review, staff sent notices to the Public Works Department, Riverside County Fire Marshal’s Office, and all public utility companies and service agencies regarding the proposed subdivision. Any comments received have been incorporated into the staff report and the Conditions of Approval. The Tentative Map has been conditioned to record any necessary easements and abandon existing easements that are deemed unnecessary by the City Engineer. The incremental impact of the project on service system capacities is mitigated by the dedications and public improvements required within the Conditions of Approval requiring all necessary dedications and public improvements to be in accordance with the City’s adopted General Plan.

8. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Environmental Assessment form was submitted for the project, and the determination was made that the project required an initial study. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH Number 2025070800) was prepared based on Environmental Case No. EA23-0003 and pursuant to the and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15070. The document contains mitigation measures pertaining to Biological Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources. Environmental impacts will be less than significant with implementation of the project’s mitigation measures.

minimum of three (3) feet away from walkways.

E. Walls. Where perimeter walls are shown on the development plan they shall be designed with aesthetic relief and be of high-quality architectural design to complement adjacent developments. In accordance with the Community Design Elements, the landscaped parkway and perimeter wall along all property lines shall be aesthetically enriched and subject to approval of Planning staff, with architectural review as deemed necessary. All top of wall elevations and adjacent finish grade elevations for the project perimeter and entry walls shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Division and City Engineer. The applicant shall contact the adjacent property owners if grading outside the subdivision boundaries is required for construction of the perimeter walls. This shall be accomplished prior to issuance of any permit.

20. Future neighborhood signage shall be subject to approval and issuance of a separate sign permit or sign program.

III. PUBLIC WORKS
Prior to City Council Approval of the Final Map, the following Conditions shall be satisfied:

21. FORMATION AND/OR ANNEXATION TO CFD
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 485 the applicant shall provide evidence that formation of, or annexation to a Communities Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 – Police and Fire services – to pay the City annually for public service costs associated with this project has been initiated. This requires the submittal of an application fee, the preparation of a boundary map, and 6-8 weeks’ processing time. The applicant is advised to begin the application process as soon as possible, because the CFD annexation must occur prior to issuance of Grading Permits, or prior to Final Map approval if there is one.

22. STUDIES AND CALCULATIONS REQUIRED
The applicant shall submit a soils report, geological and hydrology studies, and hydraulic calculations, as required by the City Engineer, prior to approval of the Grading Plan.

23. GRADING & DRAINAGE PLAN
The applicant shall be required to submit a grading and drainage plan prepared by a licensed civil engineer to the City Engineer for plan check and approval. The grading and drainage plan shall be consistent with any and all conditions of approval associated with any applicable subdivision map and any Development Permit entitlements issued for the subject project by the City or any other responsible public agency. The grading and drainage plan shall conform to all city policies, standards, and regulations applicable to the project. In addition, if the project involves grading and drainage issues related to Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) facilities, written evidence of the District’s approval shall be included with the submittal required by the City of Rancho Mirage.

24. STORMWATER RETENTION
The grading of the project shall be designed such that all storm water to the level of a 100 year frequency storm; worst case of the 1, 3, 6, or 24 hour duration, shall be retained on 96 EA23-0003, VAR24-0005, & TTM23-0001 (TTM 38636) – Conditions of Approval

site, including the street frontage area. Or per Municipal Code Section 15.64.140.B, if the project is less than 1 acre or if it is south of the Whitewater Flood Channel, the grading of the project may be designed for the drainage to be conveyed to an “acceptable disposal site as determined by the City Engineer”. Since this project is south of the Whitewater Channel, it could qualify for the drainage to an “acceptable disposal site”, which could be the existing storm drain box culvert per AD 77-02 if it can be shown that it can take the additional stormwater flows. It would also need to be shown that water could be safely conveyed to this box culvert. The proposed retention basins on the individual lots, all approximately 1 acre or larger, is acceptable also. Surface streets are not considered “an acceptable disposal site” for common “nuisance water” from sprinklers and cleaning. Therefore, at a minimum, all projects shall make provisions to absorb such “nuisance water” to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

CHAPTER 1: PROJECT DESCRIPTION

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Rancho Mirage is reviewing an application that would involve the subdivision of 16 lots within 8 parcels totaling 19.81 acres. Currently, the three southern parcels would subdivided into 8 lots - Lot 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16. This would be phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 of the project involves the remaining 5 northern parcels which would be subdivided into 8 lots - Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12. The subject parcels are all vacant and undeveloped. The proposed development would connect to a new 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer main in Peterson Road. The terrain in the project area is generally level, with ground elevations ranging approximately from 255 feet to 260 feet above mean sea level. The surface soil is composed of light olive gray fine sand. The project is located within what is considered to be the California Creosote Bush Scrub plant community though the ground surface in the project area has been cleared of native vegetation in the past and existing vegetation include introduced and ruderal species such as landscaping plants and low-lying grasses. The Zoning designation that is applicable to the aforementioned parcels is Residential Estate (R-E). No General Plan Amendment or Zone Change would be required for the proposed residential development.

PROJECT LOCATION AND SETTING
The proposed project site is located in the west-central portion of the City of Rancho Mirage. The City of Rancho Mirage is located in the eastern portion of Riverside County within the Coachella Valley area. Rancho Mirage is generally bounded on the north by Thousand Palms and Cathedral City, on the east by Palm Desert, on the south by Palm Desert and unincorporated Riverside County, and on the west by Cathedral City. Regional access to the City of Rancho Mirage is provided by the Interstate 10 (I-10) Freeway which extends across the northernmost portion of the City. The I-10 Freeway is located approximately 4.84 miles north of the project area. The location of Rancho Mirage, in a regional context, is shown in Exhibit 1. A citywide map is provided in Exhibit 2.

The proposed project would include 16 residential lots (referred to as Lots 1 through 16) and 4 lots for future streets (referred to Lots A through D). The project will undergo two phases. Phase 1 of the project would be the subdivision of Lots 6-9, and lots 13-16. Phase 2 of the project would be the subdivision of lots 1-7 and lots 10-12. The proposed project area is generally bounded on the north by the Whitewater Stormwater Channel, on the west by Golden State Street, a private street with no access to the subject site, on the south by Mirage Cove Drive, and on the east by the Whitewater Stormwater Channel and Kelley Lane. The proposed subdivision is bisected by Peterson Road in a north-to-south orientation. The project site is currently comprised of 8 vacant, undeveloped parcels that would be subdivided into 16 parcels. The Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) that comprise the proposed project area include 689-090-003; 689-130-004; 689-130- 005; 689-130-013; 689-130-014; 689-130-017; 689-130-018; and 689-140-022. The project site is located within the Cathedral City, Calif., United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7 ½ Minute Quadrangle (Section 2, Township T5S Range R5E, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian). The proposed project’s latitude and longitude is 33.76919 N and -116.43917 W. A local vicinity map is provided in Exhibit 3.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed project would involve the subdivision 16 lots within the 19.81-acre site. The terrain in the project area is generally level, with elevations ranging approximately from 255 feet to 260 feet above mean sea level. The 16 individual lot sizes would range in land area from 42,476 square feet to 67,608 square feet. The lots would be arranged along Peterson Road around the proposed cul-de-sac roadway. The project will undergo two phases. Currently, the three southern parcels would subdivided into 8 lots - Lot 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16. This would be phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 of the project involves the remaining 5 northern parcels which would be subdivided into 8 lots - Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12.

ACCESS AND PARKING
Access to the future residential subdivision would be provided along Peterson Road. The individual units would be arranged along Peterson Road. Lots A and B would be future Peterson Road extensions through the project.

ENERGY UTILITIES
The Southern California Edison (SCE) would provide electricity to the project site. Natural gas service is provided by the Southern California Gas Company.

WATER UTILITIES
There is no existing water infrastructure located on-site. The proposed development would connect to a new 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer main in Peterson Road. Groundwater is the primary source of domestic water supply in the Coachella Valley. The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is the largest provider of potable water in the Coachella Valley and currently provides potable water in the vicinity of the project area.

WASTEWATER UTILITIES
There is no existing wastewater infrastructure located on-site. CVWD operates 6 water reclamation plants and maintains more than 1,000 miles of sewer pipelines and more than 30 lift stations that transport wastewater to the nearest treatment facility and nearly 6.3 billion gallons of wastewater is treated yearly. In addition, wastewater generated by the project will be conveyed to CVWD Wastewater Reclamation Plant Number 10 in Palm Desert (WRP-10). According to the 2015 CVWD Urban Water Management Plan, WRP-10 has a capacity to treat 18 million gallons per day (MGD).

SOLID WASTE
Solid waste disposal and recycling services for the City of Rancho Mirage are provided by Burrtec.

Solid waste and recycling collected from the proposed project will be transported to the Edom Hill Transfer Station. Waste from this transfer station is then sent to a permitted landfill or recycling facility outside of the Coachella Valley. These include the Badlands Disposal Site, the El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill, and the Lamb Canyon Disposal Site.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
The terrain in the project area is generally level, with elevations ranging approximately from 255 feet to 260 feet above mean sea level. The surface soil is composed of light olive gray fine sand.

The project location is within what would be the California Creosote Bush Scrub plant community; however, the ground surface in the project area has been cleared of native vegetation in the past and existing vegetation include introduced and ruderal species such as landscaping plants and low-lying grasses. The entirety of the project area has been disturbed in the past, with all native vegetation being removed. A paved road, fencing along the Whitewater drainage, and utility poles, are located adjacent to the project area, but all of these items are modern in origin. The site and the surrounding area are shown in an aerial photograph provided in Exhibit 4.

The project site is currently comprised of 8 vacant, undeveloped parcels that would be subdivided into 16 parcels. The Zoning designation for the project area is Residential Estate (R-E). Land uses and development located in the vicinity of the proposed project site are outlined below:
●North of the project site: The Whitewater Flood Control Channel generally extends along the project area’s north side. This area is designated as Open Space – Floodways and Drainage Channels (OS-W).
116

●East of the project site: Single family homes are located to the east of the project site.

These homes are designated as Residential Estate (R-E). Further east, the Whitewater Flood Control Channel generally extends along the project area’s east side. These parcels are designated as Open Space – Floodways and Drainage Channels (OS-W). ●South of the project site: Mirage Cove Drive extends along the project area’s south side.

Vista Cove at Rancho Mirage, a resort, and a vacant lot are located further south of the aforementioned roadway. These parcels are designated as Residential Estate (R-E). ●West of the project site: Nielson Road extend along the project area’s west side. Further west of the road are single family homes and a mobile home park. These parcels are designated as Mobile Home Park (MHP) and Residential Estate (R-E).

An aerial photograph of the project site and the surrounding area is provided in Exhibit 4. The land use and zoning map is provided in Exhibit 5.

DISCRETIONARY APPROVALS & OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL

IS REQUIRED
A Discretionary Action is an action taken by a government agency (for this project, the government agency is the City of Rancho Mirage) that calls for an exercise of judgment in deciding whether to approve a project. The project site is currently comprised of 8 vacant, undeveloped parcels that would be subdivided into 16 parcels. The Zoning designation that is applicable to the aforementioned parcels is Residential Estate (R-E). No General Plan Amendment or Zone Change would be required for the proposed residential development. The following discretionary approvals are required:
●Approval of a Tentative Tract Map (TTM 38971);
●Approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND); and, ●The adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).

A Minor Variance (VAR24-0005) is also proposed to reduce the net lot area of lots 8 & 9 from a 1 acre minimum to .98 acres.

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. 126

City of Rancho Mirage 20
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. 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:

______________________________________________________
Pilar Fløtterud, Senior Planner

Date

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.

1.1 SETTING
The evaluation of aesthetics and aesthetic impacts is generally subjective, and it typically requires the identification of key visual features in the area and their importance. The characterization of aesthetic impacts involves establishing the existing visual characteristics including visual resources and scenic vistas that are unique to the area. Visual resources are determined by identifying existing landforms (e.g., topography and grading), views (e.g., scenic resources such as natural features or urban characteristics), and existing light and glare characteristics (e.g., nighttime illumination). Changes to the existing aesthetic environment associated with the proposed project’s implementation are identified and qualitatively evaluated based on the proposed modifications to the existing setting and the viewers’ sensitivity. The project-related impacts are then compared to the context of the existing setting, using the threshold criteria discussed above.

The natural setting of the Rancho Mirage area is critical to its overall visual character and provides scenic vistas for the community. The Santa Rosa Mountains and the foothills (including the Indio Hills), provide a natural, scenic backdrop to the Rancho Mirage community. The Santa Rosa Mountains are part of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. The base of the aforementioned mountains is located just over 7 miles to the southwest of the project site.

The San Bernardino Mountains are located to the north and east of the City (approximately 16 miles).

1.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact.

The City of Rancho Mirage is reviewing an application that would involve the subdivision of 16 lots within 8 parcels totaling 19.81 acres. Currently, the three southern parcels would subdivided into 8 lots - Lot 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16. This would be phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 of the project involves the remaining 5 northern parcels which would be subdivided into 8 lots - Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12. The subject parcels are all vacant and undeveloped. The proposed development would connect to a new 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer main in Peterson Road. The terrain in the project area is generally level, with ground elevations ranging approximately from 255 feet to 260 feet above mean sea level. The surface soil is composed of light olive gray fine sand. The project is located within what is considered to be the California Creosote Bush Scrub plant community though the ground surface in the project area has been cleared of native vegetation in the past and existing vegetation include introduced and ruderal species such as landscaping plants and low-lying grasses. The Zoning designation that is applicable to the aforementioned parcels is Residential Estate (R-E). No General Plan Amendment or Zone Change would be required for the proposed residential development.

The natural setting of the Rancho Mirage area is critical to its overall visual character and provides scenic vistas for the community. The Santa Rosa Mountains provide a natural, scenic backdrop to the Rancho Mirage community. The Santa Rosa Mountains are part of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. The base of the aforementioned mountains is located just over 10 miles to the west of the project site. The foothills of the Santas Rosa Mountains along with the Indio Hills extend into the southern portion of the City. The San Bernardino Mountains are located to the north and east of the City (approximately 16 miles). The proposed development would not obstruct any significant views of the aforementioned mountains of the existing or future homes located to the east of the development site. Once developed, views of the aforementioned mountains would continue to be visible from the public right-of-way. As a result, no impacts would occur.
b) No Impact.

According to the California Department of Transportation, none of the improved or unimproved roads located adjacent to the project site are designated as scenic highways. Highway 111, located approximately 1,500 feet to the west of the site, is considered to be an Eligible State Scenic Highway, though this roadway is not officially designated as such. According to the Rancho Mirage General Plan, Bob Hope Drive (located approximately 1.75 to the east of the site), is a City-designated Scenic road. In addition to the foregoing, the project property is currently absent of any historic buildings, structures or other former permanent improvements that would have any aesthetic value. The site’s development would also facilitate the site’s ongoing 129

City of Rancho Mirage 23
maintenance and rehabilitation. Lastly, the project site does not contain any buildings listed in the State or National registrar. As a result, no impacts would occur. c) No Impact.

There are no protected views in the vicinity of the project site (refer to Subsection A). In addition, the City does not have any zoning regulations or other regulations governing scenic quality other that the development standards for which the new residential units would conform to. As a result, no impacts would occur.
d) Less Than Significant Impact.

The nearest light sensitive receptors are the existing residential units located to the west and east of the project site. In addition, the properties located to the north, west, and east are zoned for residential development. The project’s lighting would be required to comply with Chapter

17.18.050 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code. The proposed project’s lighting must be designed so as to prevent emissions of glare or light beyond the property line. All exterior lighting at the project site would be conditioned to be Dark-Sky compliant, in order to reduce the amount of light emitted at the project site at night. This would keep the night skies in the City of Rancho Mirage visible to residents and visitors. Riverside County Ordinance Number 655 regulates light pollution in the County. Ordinance No. 655 restricts the use of certain light fixtures emitting into the night sky undesirable light rays which have a detrimental effect on astronomical observation and research. The project would be required to comply to these County’s standards. Since the proposed project would be required to adhere to both the City’s and County’s light and glare requirements, the impacts would be less than significant.

2. California Department of Conservation. State of California Williamson Act Contract Land.

2.1 SETTING
The California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) was established in 1982 to track changes in agricultural land use and to help preserve areas of Important Farmland. It divides the state's land into eight categories of land use designation based on soil quality and existing agriculture uses to produce maps and statistical data. These maps and data are used to help preserve productive farmland and to analyze impacts on farmland.

Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Local Importance are all Important Farmland and are collectively referred to as Important Farmland in this analysis. The highest rated Important Farmland is Prime Farmland. The California Land Conservation Act of 1965, or the Williamson Act, allows a city or county government to preserve agricultural land or open space through contracts with landowners. Contracts last 10 years and are automatically renewed unless a notice of nonrenewal is issued.

uses are located onsite or adjacent to the property. The project site and the surrounding parcels are indicated as Urban and Built-Up Land. The Whitewater Storm Channel is designated as Other Land.

2.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact:

According to the California Department of Conservation, the project site and the adjacent properties do not contain any areas of Farmland of Statewide Importance, and no agricultural uses are located onsite or adjacent to the property. According to the California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program the proposed project is located in a portion of Rancho Mirage designated as Urban and Built-Up Land. The project site is not located in an area where the existing zoning promote agricultural uses or is otherwise classified as farmland. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed project would not involve the conversion of any prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance to urban uses. As a result, no impacts would occur. b) No Impact:

There are no agricultural uses located within the site that would be affected by the project’s implementation. According to the California Department of Conservation Division of Land Resource Protection, the project site is not subject to a Williamson Act Contract. As a result, no impacts on existing Williamson Act Contracts would result from the proposed project’s implementation.
c) No Impact:

There are no forest lands or timber lands located within or adjacent to the site. Furthermore, the site’s existing zoning designation does not contemplate forest land or timber land uses. As a result, no impacts will occur.
d) No Impact:

No forest lands are located within the project site. The proposed use would be restricted to the site and would not affect any land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land management (BLM).

As a result, no loss or conversion of forest lands to urban uses would result from the proposed project’s implementation.
e) No Impact:

The project would not involve the disruption or damage of the existing environment that would result in a loss of farmland to nonagricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use because the project site does not contain any significant vegetation. As a result, no farmland conversion impacts would occur.

3.1 SETTING
According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project may be deemed to have a significant adverse impact on air quality if it results in any of the following:
• The proposed project would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan.
• The proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
• The proposed project would expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

The proposed project would result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. Air quality impacts may occur during the construction or operation phase of a project, and may come from stationary (e.g., industrial processes, generators), mobile (e.g., automobiles, trucks), or area (e.g., water heaters) sources. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the main regulatory authority in the region (Salton Sea Basin) with regard to air quality issues. In April 1993, the SCAQMD adopted a CEQA Air Quality Handbook that provides guidance for the CEQA analysis of potential air quality impacts 133

City of Rancho Mirage 27
of new projects. The SCAQMD has established quantitative thresholds for short -term (construction) emissions and long-term (operational) emissions for the following criteria pollutants:
● Ozone (O3) is a nearly colorless gas that irritates the lungs, and damages vegetation.

Ozone is formed a by photochemical reaction (when nitrogen dioxide is broken down by sunlight).
● Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless toxic gas that interferes with the transfer of oxygen to the brain and is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels emitted as vehicle exhaust.
● Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) is a yellowish-brown gas, which at high levels can cause breathing difficulties. NOx is formed when nitric oxide (a pollutant from burning processes) combines with oxygen.
● Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is a colorless, pungent gas formed primarily by the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels. Health effects include acute respiratory symptoms. ● PM10 and PM2.5 refers to particulate matter less than ten microns and two and one-half microns in diameter, respectively. Particulates of this size cause a greater health risk than larger-sized particles since fine particles can more easily cause irritation. ● Reactive Organic Gasses (ROG) refers to organic chemicals that, with the interaction of sunlight photochemical reactions may lead to the creation of “smog.” Projects in the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) generating construction-related emissions that exceed any of the following emissions thresholds are considered to be significant under CEQA:
● 75 pounds per day of reactive organic compounds;
● 100 pounds per day of nitrogen dioxide;
● 550 pounds per day of carbon monoxide;
● 150 pounds per day of PM10;
● 55 pounds per day of PM2.5; or,
● 150 pounds per day of sulfur oxides.

A project would have a significant effect on air quality if any of the following operational emissions thresholds for criteria pollutants are exceeded:
● 55 pounds per day reactive organic compounds;
● 55 pounds per day of nitrogen dioxide;
● 550 pounds per day of carbon monoxide;
● 150 pounds per day of PM10;
● 55 pounds per day of PM2.5; or,
● 150 pounds per day of sulfur oxides.

3.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact:

Measures to improve regional air quality are outlined in the SCAQMD’s Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The most recent AQMP was adopted in 2022 and was jointly prepared with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Southern California Association of Governments 134

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 28
(SCAG). The AQMP will help the SCAQMD maintain focus on the air quality impacts of major projects associated with goods movement, land use, energy efficiency, and other key areas of growth. Key elements of the 2022 AQMP include enhancements to existing programs to meet the 24-hour PM2.5 Federal health standard and a proposed plan of action to reduce ground-level Ozone. The primary criteria for pollutants that remain non-attainment in the local area include PM2.5 and Ozone. Specific criteria to determine a project’s conformity with the AQMP is defined in Section 12.3 of the SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook.

The proposed Project is consistent with the assumptions underlying the AQMP and the 2003 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan and will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Projects that are consistent with the projections of employment and/or population forecasts identified in the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) prepared by SCAG are considered consistent with the SCAQMD growth projections, since the RTP/SCS forms the basis of the land use and transportation control portions of the SCAQMD. According to the Demographics and Growth Forecast Technical Report Adopted on September 3, 2020 by SCAG, the City of Rancho Mirage’s population is projected to increase from the year 2016 figure of 18,200 to 25,200 in the year 2045, an increase of 7,000. The proposed 16-unit project would potentially result in 31 new residents assuming an average household size of 1.95 persons per household derived from the 2023 United States Census Bureau for the City of Rancho Mirage. Therefore, the proposed project is not in conflict with the growth projections established for the City by SCAG. The project’s construction emissions would be below the thresholds of significance established by the SCAQMD (the project’s daily construction emissions are summarized in Table 2). In addition, the proposed project’s long-term (operational) airborne emissions would be below levels that the SCAQMD considers to be a significant impact (refer to Table 3). As a result, no impacts would occur.
b) Less Than Significant Impact:

According to the SCAQMD, any project is significant if it triggers or exceeds the SCAQMD daily emissions threshold identified previously and noted at the bottom of Tables 2 and 3. The proposed project’s construction and operation would not lead to a violation of the above-mentioned criteria.

The analysis of daily construction and operational emissions was prepared utilizing the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEModV.2022.1.1.25). For air quality modeling purposes, a twelve-month period of construction for all construction phases was assumed.

Long-term emissions refer to those air quality impacts that would occur once the proposed project has been constructed and is operational. These impacts would continue over the operational life of the project. The two main sources of operational emissions include mobile emissions and area emissions related to off-site electrical generation. The analysis of long-term operational impacts summarized in Table 3 also used the CalEEModV.2022.1.1.25 computer model. The analysis summarized in Table 3 indicates that the operational (long-term) emissions would be below the SCAQMD daily emissions thresholds.

The analysis presented in Tables 2 and 3 reflects projected emissions that are typically higher during the summer months and represent a worse-case scenario. As indicated in Tables 2 and 3, the impacts are considered to be less than significant. In addition, the SCAQMD Rule Book contains numerous regulations governing various activities undertaken within the district. Among these regulations is Rule 403.2 – Fugitive Dust Control for the South Coast Planning Area, which was adopted in 1996 for the purpose of controlling fugitive dust. Adherence to Rule 403.2 regulations is required for all projects undertaken within the district. Future construction truck drivers must also adhere to Title 13 - §2485 of the California Code of Regulations, which limits the idling of diesel-powered vehicles to less than five minutes. Adherence to the aforementioned standard condition would minimize odor impacts from diesel trucks. Adherence to Rule 403 Regulations and Title 13 - §2485 of the California Code of Regulations would further reduce the potential impacts. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

According to the SCAQMD, residences, schools, daycare centers, playgrounds, and medical facilities are considered sensitive receptor land uses. As indicated in the previous section (refer to Tables 2 and 3, the proposed residential development would not result in an exceedance of SCAQMD thresholds. As indicated in Table 4, the project is not anticipated to exceed construction local significant thresholds (LSTs) for particulates. For purposes of analysis, it was assumed that no more than 5-acres would be disturbed on any given construction day. Further analysis of the CalEEMod worksheets indicated that the primary source of construction PM emissions is fugitive dust. Adherence to additional mandatory Rule 403 regulations would reduce fugitive dust 136

emissions by approximately 50% to levels that are less than significant. Rule 403 requires that temporary dust covers be used on any piles of excavated or imported earth to reduce wind-blown dust. In addition, all clearing, earthmoving, or excavation activities must be discontinued during periods of high winds (i.e., greater than 15 mph), so as to prevent excessive amounts of fugitive dust.

The Coachella Valley is currently designated as a serious nonattainment area for PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less). The U.S. EPA-approved Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan is in place with an attainment strategy for meeting the PM10 standard. Some of the existing measures include the requirement of detailed dust control plans from builders that specify the use of more aggressive and frequent watering, soil stabilization, wind screens, and phased development to minimize fugitive dust. Appropriate air quality measures to prevent fugitive dust are required by the City’s Fugitive Dust Control ordinance and plan implementation requirements, which are consistent with SCAQMD Rules 403 and 403.1 that apply to the Coachella Valley strategy for reducing fugitive dust emissions. Under the City’s dust control regulations, a Local Air Quality Management Plan (LAQMP) must be prepared and approved prior to any earth-moving operations. Consistent with SCAQMD Rules 403 and 403.1, implementation of the Fugitive Dust Control Plan is required to occur under the supervision of an individual with training on Dust Control in the Coachella Valley. The plan would include methods to prevent sediment track-out onto public roads, prevent visible dust emissions from exceeding a 20-percent opacity, and prevent visible dust emissions from extending more than 100 feet (vertically or horizontally from the origin of a source) or crossing any property line.

The project’s contractors must comply with other SCAQMD regulations governing equipment idling and emissions controls as well as mandatory SCAQMD regulations governing fugitive dust (Rule 403) and odors (Rule 1401). In addition, future truck drivers visiting the site during the project’s construction must adhere to Title 13 - §2485 of the California Code of Regulations, which limits the idling of diesel-powered vehicles to less than five minutes. These regulations would reduce particulate emissions by as much as 50%. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.

d) No Impact:

The SCAQMD has identified those land uses that are typically associated with odor complaints.

These uses include activities involving livestock, rendering facilities, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting activities, refineries, landfills, and businesses involved in fiberglass molding. The proposed residential project would not result in the generation of any odors. In addition, construction truck drivers must adhere to Title 13 - §2485 of the California Code of Regulations, which limits the idling of diesel-powered vehicles to less than five minutes.

Furthermore, the project’s contractors must adhere to SCAQMD rules and regulations that govern fugitive dust during site preparation which would significantly reduce the generation of fugitive dust. As a result, no odor-related impacts would occur.

4.1 SETTING
Sensitive biological resources include a variety of plant and animal species that are specialized and endemic to a particular habitat type. Due to loss of habitat, some of these species have been designated by either, or both, the federal and state government resource agencies as threatened or endangered. Species listed as threatened include those whose numbers have dropped to such low levels and/or whose populations are so isolated that the continuation of the species could be 139

jeopardized. Endangered species are those with such limited numbers or subject to such extreme circumstances that they are considered in imminent danger of extinction. Other government agencies and resource organizations also identify sensitive species, those that are naturally rare and that have been locally depleted and put at risk by human activities. While not in imminent danger of jeopardy or extinction, sensitive species are considered vulnerable and can become candidates for future listing as threatened or endangered.

The vegetation community present on site supports a disturbed desert scrub habitat encompassing mainly native plants and some non-native grasses. The site contains a few species of plants which include kelch grass (Schismus barbatus), creosote bush (Larrea tridentata), four winged saltbush (Atriplex canescens), Asian mustard (Brassica tournefortii), Nettle leaved goosefoot (Chenopodiastrum murale) and Brittlebush (Encelia farinose).

4.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation:

Birds observed during the onsite surveys included common ravens (Corvus corax), house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), house sparrow (Passer domesticus), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) and rock pigeon (Columba livia). No mammals were seen during the February 2024 survey. Although the Antelope Ground squirrel (Ammospermophilus leucurus) were not present during the field investigation we can assume they are in the area due to current conditions and population distributions. Other wildlife species that may occur on site include desert cottontails (Sylvilagus audubonii) and California ground squirrels (Otospermophilus beecheyi), and Merriam’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) may also occur on the site given their wide-spread distribution in the region. No reptiles were observed during the field investigation, however there were a number of reptile tracks along the property and we can assume that they are present in the area. Species that are expected to occur on site include the western whiptail lizard (Cnemidophorus tigris) and common side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana). No sensitive habitats (e.g., wetlands, vernal pools, critical habitats for sensitive species, etc.) were observed on the site during the field investigations.

The following are the listed and special status species that have the ability to occur on the project site. It is not a comprehensive list of all the species in the quad. This information has been taken from the California Natural Diversity Database and is using the most current version.

Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard: The site is located within the documented Coachella Valley fringed-toed lizard range, a state and federal threatened species, according to California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (2024). The property supports minimal suitable habitat for the lizard based on the location of the site in a developed area of Rancho Mirage. No Coachella Valley fringed-toed lizard was observed anywhere within the property boundaries during the February 12, 2024 surveys. The species is not expected to move onto the site in the near future based on the absence of any recent observations in the immediate area, and the presence of busy roadways and developments in the immediate area which may act as barriers to migration.
140

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 34
Burrowing Owl: The site is located within documented burrowing owl habitat according to CNDDB (2024). No owls were seen on the property during the survey, and minimal suitable habitat was observed. Burrowing owls are not expected to occur on the site due to lack of suitable vegetation and burrows.

Le Conte’s thrasher: Le Conte’s thrashers have not been recently observed in the area according to CNDDB (2024). Thrashers are not expected to occur on the site due to lack of critical vegetation used by the species, such as catclaw acacia. Thrashers may be very infrequent in the area given the low population levels in the region as well as the lack of any recent sightings according to the CNDDB.

There were no instances of any federally or state endangered plant species during the field survey conducted on February 12, 2024. The site has been disturbed in the past and development has occurred around most of the neighboring properties. Although the site does contain minimal habitat for the Chapparal sand verbena (Abronia villosa var. aurita) and the Slender cottonhead (Nemacaulis denudata var. gracilis) which include sandy areas and desert scrub, the species were not observed during the February 2024 field survey.

Future development activities include the grading and removal of all vegetation from the 19.8 - acre parcel; however, cumulative impacts to the general biological resources (plants and animals) in the surrounding area are expected to be negligible. This assumption is based on the habitat containing scarce vegetation of non-native species. As discussed above, the site does not support any burrowing owls due to the lack of suitable habitat and potential burrows. Joshua trees (a state candidate species) were not observed in the field investigations during February 2024 survey.

The following mitigation measures should be considered:
● Biological Resources Mitigation No. 1 Pre-construction surveys for burrowing owls and nesting birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Section 3503 of the California Fish and Wildlife Code shall be conducted prior to the commencement of Project -related ground disturbance.
a. Appropriate survey methods and timeframes shall be established, to ensure that chances of detecting the target species are maximized. In the event that listed species, such as desert tortoise, are encountered, authorization from the USFWS and CDFW must be obtained. If nesting birds are detected, avoidance measures shall be implemented to ensure that nests are not disturbed until after young have fledged. b. Pre-construction surveys shall encompass all areas within the potential footprint of disturbance for the project, as well as a reasonable buffer around these areas. ● Biological Resources Mitigation No. 2 A focused plant survey should be considered for all special status plant species that have the potential to occur on the site to be performed during the blooming season (April-June) to determine the potential environmental effects of the proposed projects on special status plants and sensitive natural communities following recommended protocols by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
141

City of Rancho Mirage 35

The above mitigation measures would reduce the impacts to levels that are less than significant. b) No Impact:

No drainage channels were observed within the site boundaries. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
c) No Impact:

No sensitive habitats (e.g., wetlands, vernal pools, critical habitats for sensitive species, etc.) were observed on the site during the field investigations. No riparian vegetation (e.g., cottonwoods, willows, etc.) exist on the site. No potential channels were observed on the property and it is the opinion of RCA Associates that no further surveys will be necessary. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
d) No Impact:

The site’s utility as a habitat and a migration corridor is constrained by the presence of an adjacent roadway and the development that is present in the neighboring areas. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
e) No Impact:

Future development activities include the grading and removal of all vegetation from the 19.8- acre parcel; however, cumulative impacts to the general biological resources (plants and animals) in the surrounding area are expected to be negligible. This assumption is based on the habitat containing scarce vegetation of non-native species. As discussed above, the site does not support any desert tortoises or burrowing owls due to the lack of suitable habitat and potential burrows.

Joshua trees (a state candidate species) were not observed in the field investigations during February 2024 survey. As a result, no impacts are anticipated. f) Less than Significant Impact:

The Project occurs within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) plan area and is subject to provisions and policies of the CVMSHCP.

The proposed project’s implementation would not be in conflict with the provisions of any other adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plans.

Although the site is located within the CVMSHCP boundary, the site is not located within a biological sensitive or any conservation areas. As a result, impacts are less than significant. 142

4.3 MITIGATION MEASURES:

The analysis of biological impacts determined that the following mitigation measures would be required to reduce the project’s impacts to levels that would be less than significant.

Biological Resources Mitigation Measure No. 1. Pre-construction surveys for burrowing owls and nesting birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Section 3503 of the California Fish and Wildlife Code shall be conducted prior to the commencement of Project -related ground disturbance.
a. Appropriate survey methods and timeframes shall be established, to ensure that chances of detecting the target species are maximized. In the event that listed species, such as desert tortoise, are encountered, authorization from the USFWS and CDFW must be obtained. If nesting birds are detected, avoidance measures shall be implemented to ensure that nests are not disturbed until after young have fledged. b. Pre-construction surveys shall encompass all areas within the potential footprint of disturbance for the project, as well as a reasonable buffer around these areas. . Biological Resources Mitigation Measure No. 2. A focused plant survey should be considered for all special status plant species that have the potential to occur on the site to be performed during the blooming season (April-June) to determine the potential environmental effects of the proposed projects on special status plants and sensitive natural communities following recommended protocols by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

5.1 SETTING
Historic structures and sites are defined by local, State, and Federal criteria. A site or structure may be historically significant if it is locally protected through a General Plan or historic preservation ordinance. In addition, a site or structure may be historically significant according to State or Federal criteria even if the locality does not recognize such significance. To be considered eligible for the National Register, a property’s significance may be determined if the property is associated with events, activities, or developments that were important in the past, with the lives of people who were important in the past, or represents significant architectural, landscape, or engineering elements. Specific criteria include the following:
● Districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are associated with the lives of significant persons in or past;
● Districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or, ● Districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.

Ordinarily, properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years are not considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties would qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
● A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance;

● Districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; ● A building or structure removed from its original location that is significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure is associated with a historic person or event; ● A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life; ● A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events;
● A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived; ● A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or, ● A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

5.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact:

According to Eastern Information Center (EIC) records, the project area had been surveyed for cultural resources once prior to this study (RI-08506 in Figure 5; Sander 2010). No cultural resources have been recorded on or adjacent to the property, however. Within the one-mile scope of the records search, EIC records identified a total of 30 previous studies completed on various tracts of land and linear features between 1979 and 2016 (Figure 5). As a result of these and other similar studies in the vicinity, one historic-period site and one prehistoric-period site were previously recorded within the scope of the records search but outside the current project area.

The historic-period site (33-005513) was recorded as the Peterson Ranch, a single wood frame house ca. 1930s (Wagner 1982). The prehistoric-period site (33-000628/CA-RIV-628T) consists of a trail segment and several stone cairns (Banks 1979; Parr and Arkush 1988; Bissell 2000).

These previously recorded cultural resources were found more than a quarter mile from the project location. Since the project’s implementation would not impact any Federal, State, or locally designated historic resources, no impacts would occur.
b) Less Than Significant Impact:

On January 9, 2024, CRM TECH archaeologist Nina Gallardo completed the historical/ archaeological resources records search for this study at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System. Located on the campus of the University of California, Riverside, the EIC is the official cultural resource records repository for the County of Riverside. The purpose of the records search was to compile a complete inventory of previously identified cultural resources and existing cultural resources reports within a one-mile radius of the project location. Previously identified cultural resources include properties designated as California Historical Landmarks, Points of Historical Interest, or Riverside County Historic Landmarks, as well as those listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, or the California Historical Resources Inventory. 145

Historical background research for this study was conducted by CRM TECH Archaeologist Frank Raslich. In addition to published literature in local and regional history, sources consulted during the research included U.S. General Land Office (GLO) land survey plat maps dated 1856, United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps dated 1904-1988, and aerial/satellite photographs taken in 1959-2023. The historical maps are available at the websites of the U.S.

Bureau of Land Management and the USGS, and the aerial/satellite photographs are available at the website of Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR) Online and through the Google Earth software.

Historical sources consulted for this study indicate that the entire project area was unsettled and undeveloped until the mid-20th century (Figures 6-9 of Appendix C – Cultural Study). Between the 1850s and the 1930s, no humanmade features of any kind were noted within or adjacent to the project area despite its location near the Southern Pacific Railroad (built in the 1870s), U.S.

Highway 60/70/99 (built prior to the 1920s), and two other major transportation arteries located approximately two miles to the north (Figures 6- 8 of Appendix C – Cultural Study). By the 1940s, Rio del Sol Road, the forerunner of present-day Bob Hope Drive, had been completed near the project vicinity along with several date gardens and ranches and a structure was present in the southern part of the project area (Figure 9 of Appendix C – Cultural Study). By 1957, roads and housing appeared around and within the project area. To the south of the project location, Gerald Ford Drive was first laid out between 1979 and 1984 and subsequently became a paved road by 1996, which ushered in a period of rapid urban growth in the surrounding area. The residential neighborhoods to the north and the south of the project location and the commercial properties to the west were all developed since then. The project area was not involved in any of these nearby developments. The structures in the southern part of the project area appears to have been removed after 2005 but before 2009. The rest of the study area, however, has remained undeveloped and largely unused to the present time.

The field survey of the project area produced completely negative results for any potential “historical resources,” and no buildings, structures, objects, sites, features, or artifacts more than 50 years of age were encountered within the project boundaries. The entirety of the project area has been disturbed in the past, with all native vegetation being removed. Previous modern development and demolition have impacted the ground surface. Modern debris is comprised of milled lumber fragments, PVC pipe, chain fencing, broken glass bottle fragments, a few steel cans, and paper and building material refuse. No evidence of the structures previously located in the southern portion of the project area were observed. There are residential developments, a paved road, fencing along the Whitewater drainage, and utility poles, adjacent to the project area, but all of these items are modern in origin and, therefore, none of them are of any historical/archaeological interest.

On December 21, 2023, CRM TECH submitted a written request to the State of California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for a records search in the commission’s Sacred Lands File. In the meantime, CRM TECH also contacted the nearby Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) for additional information on potential Native American cultural resources in the project vicinity and to arrange for tribal participation in the upcoming archaeological field survey.

On January 19, 2024, CRM TECH archaeologists Michael D. Richards and Malika Mobley carried out the field survey of the project area with the assistance of ACBCI Cultural Resources Analyst Claritsa Duarte from the Tribal Historic Preservation Office. The survey was conducted at an intensive level by walking a series of parallel north-south transects at 15-meter (approximately 146

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971

50- foot) intervals. In this way, the entire project area was systematically and carefully examined for any evidence of human activities dating to the prehistoric or historic period (i.e., 50 years or older). Ground visibility was fair (~50 percent) in areas where there were low-lying grasses but excellent (~90 percent) where there was little to no vegetation.

In response to CRM TECH’s inquiry, the NAHC reported in a letter dated January 18, 2024, that the Sacred Lands File identified no Native American cultural resources in the project vicinity but recommended contacting local Native American groups for further information. For that purpose, the NAHC provided a list of potential contacts in the region. The NAHC’s reply is attached to this report in Appendix 2 of Appendix C – Cultural Study for reference by the City of Rancho Mirage in future government-to government consultations, if necessary. As mentioned above, the ACBCI, which is the nearest tribe to the project location, participated in the archaeological field survey for this study on January 19, 2024. In a letter dated December 26, 2023, Xitlaly Madrigal, Cultural Resources Analyst with the ACBCI Tribal Historic Preservation Office, identified the project location as a part of the tribe’s Traditional Use Area. Therefore, the ACBCI requested copies of all cultural resources documentation generated for this project for review by the Tribal Historic Preservation Office as well as the presence of an ACBCI Cultural Resource Monitor (see App. 2 of Appendix C – Cultural Study). The applicant would be required to follow the Tribal Cultural Mitigation Measures No. 1, 2, and 3. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

There are no dedicated cemeteries located within or in the vicinity of the project site. The proposed project would be restricted to the project site and therefore would not affect any dedicated cemeteries in the vicinity. Notwithstanding, the following mitigation is mandated by the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15064.5(b)(4):
“A lead agency shall identify potentially feasible measures to mitigate significant adverse changes in the significance of an historical resource. The lead agency shall ensure that any adopted measures to mitigate or avoid significant adverse changes are f ully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures.” Additionally, Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code states:
“In the event of discovery or recognition of any human remains in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner of the county in which the human remains are discovered has determined, in accordance with Chapter 10 (commencing with (b) Section 27460) of Part 3 of Division 2 of Title 3 of the Government Code, that the remains are not subject to the provisions of Section 27491 of the Government Code or any other related provisions of law concerning investigation of the circumstances, manner and cause of any death, and the recommendations concerning the treatment and disposition of the human remains have been made to the person responsible for the excavation, or to his or her authorized representative. The coroner shall make his or her determination within two working days from the time the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, notifies the coroner of the discovery or recognition of the human remains. If the coroner determines that the remains are not subject to his or her authority and if the coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a Native American or has reason to believe that they are those of a Native American, he or she shall contact, by telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission.”

6.1 SETTING
Southern California Edison (SCE) would provide electricity to the project site. Natural gas service is provided by the Southern California Gas Company. Currently, the existing site is vacant and does not use electricity or natural gas. Electricity and natural gas are the primary sources of energy in the City of Rancho Mirage. Electricity is provided primarily by Southern California Edison (SCE) and Imperial Irrigation District (IID) provides services for everything north of Gerald Ford Drive and east of Bob Hope Drive in the City of Rancho Mirage.

The Rancho Mirage City Council started the Rancho Mirage Energy Authority (RMEA) for the purpose of helping to reduce the community’s IID electricity bills. Pursuant to CCA law, RMEA is an all-new, locally-run, not-for-profit power program created by the City of Rancho Mirage. RMEA purchases power directly from power providers, pays consultants for compliance functions, and sets electricity rates based on costs. The RMEA’s power is delivered through SCE poles and wires. SCE is still the utility and would continue to bill and collect from customers but using RMEA’s lower electricity rates would allow businesses and residents to save 5 percent. SCE facilities include 12 kV transmission lines for local distribution. High voltage lines for more distant transmission range up to 115 kV and 230 kV. Substations step down voltage for local distribution and use. Three substations serve the City of Rancho Mirage: one on Highway 111 east of Thunderbird Cove, one on Clancy Lane at Monterey Avenue, and one on Plumley Road south of 35th Avenue.

6.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less than Significant Impact:

During construction, the proposed project would consume energy related to the use of fuels used to power construction vehicles and other equipment that would be used during site clearing, grading, and construction. Fuel use associated with construction vehicle trips generated by the proposed project was also estimated; trips include construction worker trips, haul truck trips for 149

City of Rancho Mirage 43
material transport, and vendor trips for construction material deliveries. Energy consumed during construction would be temporary in nature and would not present a significant demand on energy resources. The proposed project would be constructed pursuant to the 2022 energy standards of Title 24. Construction equipment greater than 150 horsepower (hp), is also required to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 3 emissions standards and shall ensure that all construction equipment is tuned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. For engines from 175 to less than 750 hp, the Tier 4 Final regulations took effect on January 1, 2014. For engines from 49 to less than 75 hp, it took effect on January 1, 2013. Finally, for engines from 75 to less than 175 hp, the Tier 4 regulations took effect on January 1, 2015. In addition, the project would be required to comply with the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Sections 2449(d)(3) and 2485, which minimizes the idling time of construction equipment either by shutting it off when not in use or by reducing the time of idling to no more than five minutes. These emissions standards require highly efficient combustion systems that maximize fuel efficiency and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

Therefore, no significant impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction are anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.

The increased demand is expected to be sufficiently served by the existing Southern California Edison (SCE) facilities. As shown in Table 5, the proposed project is anticipated to consume 409.41 kWh daily. The proposed project is located within the service area of the Southern California Gas Company. The project site currently has no demand for natural gas. Therefore, the development of the proposed project would create a permanent increase in the demand for natural gas. As shown in Table 5, the proposed project is anticipated to consume 1,559.0 kBTU of natural gas on a daily basis.

Table 5 Proposed Project’s Energy Consumption
Energy Type Consumption Rate Annual Energy Consumption Daily Energy Consumption Electrical Consumption 9,339.25 kWh/unit/year 149,428 kWh/year 409.4 kWh/Day Natural Gas Consumption 35,564.3 kBTU/unit/year 569,029 kBTU/year 1,559.0 kBTU/Day California Air Pollution Control Officers Association. California Emissions Estimator Model. Version 2022.1.1.25 (Used in Appendix A)

According to the CalEEMod air quality emissions model, the 16 units would consume 158,767 kWh of electricity on an annual basis. According to the same model, the 16 units would consume 569,029 kBTUs on an annual basis. The proposed project’s energy consumption would be related to energy that would be used for lighting and other household activities. Lighting would be required to follow the City’s Outdoor Lighting Policy, which includes the use of energy efficient lighting. For these reasons, the project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary use of energy. The project applicant would be required to work with the local electrical utility company to identify existing and future strategies that would be effective in reducing energy consumption. As a result, the impact would be less than significant.

b) Less than significant impact:

The State Building Standards Commission adopted updates to the California Green Building Standards Code (Code) which became effective on January 1, 2023. The California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24, Part 11: California Green Building Standards (Title 24) became effective to aid efforts to reduce GHG emissions associated with energy consumption. Title 24 now requires that new buildings reduce water consumption, employ building commissioning to increase building system efficiencies, divert construction waste from landfills, and install low pollutant‐emitting finish materials. The proposed project as well as any future development within the remainder of the project site would be required to conform to all pertinent energy conservation requirements. The proposed project would be required to comply with all pertinent Title 24 requirements along with other Low Impact Development (LID) requirements.

The project would provide for, and promote, energy efficiencies required under other applicable Federal and State of California standards and regulations, and in doing so, would meet or exceed all California Building Standards Code Title 24 standards. Moreover, energy consumed by the project’s operation is calculated to be comparable to, or less than, energy consumed by other single family homes of similar scale and intensity that are constructed and operating in California.

On this basis, the project would not result in the inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy. Further, the project would not cause or result in the need for additional energy producing facilities or energy delivery systems. As a result, the potential impacts would be less than significant.

project site. In 1972, the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zoning Act was passed in response to the damage sustained in the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act’s main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. The closest active fault to the project site is at the San Andreas Fault, approximately 3.6 miles northeast. Therefore, due to the distance of the fault zone, it can be concluded that the potential fault-rupture risk is low. Surface ruptures are visible instances of horizontal or vertical displacement, or a combination of the two. The amount of ground shaking depends on the intensity of the earthquake, the duration of shaking, soil conditions, type of building, and distance from epicenter or fault.

The potential impacts from fault rupture and ground shaking are considered no greater for the project site than for the surrounding areas given the distance between the site and the fault trace.

However, the deep groundwater in Rancho Mirage does not allow the saturation of the sediments; therefore, the potential for liquefaction to occur at the project site is less than significant.

Windblown sand and other recently deposited sediments are typically loose and, therefore, potentially subject to seismically induced settlement.

7.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The City of Rancho Mirage is located in a seismically active region. Earthquakes from several active and potentially active faults in the Southern California region could affect the proposed project site. In 1972, the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zoning Act was passed in response to the damage sustained in the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act’s main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. closest active fault to the project site is at the San Andreas Fault, approximately 3.5 miles northeast. Therefore, due to the distance of the fault zone, it can be concluded that the potential fault-rupture risk is low. Surface ruptures are visible instances of horizontal or vertical displacement, or a combination of the two. The amount of ground shaking depends on the intensity of the earthquake, the duration of shaking, soil conditions, type of building, and distance from epicenter or fault. The potential impacts from fault rupture and ground shaking are considered no greater for the project site than for the surrounding areas given the distance between the site and the fault trace. However, the deep groundwater in Rancho Mirage does not allow the saturation of the sediments; therefore, the potential for liquefaction to occur at the project site is less than significant. Windblown sand and other recently deposited sediments are typically loose and, therefore, potentially subject to seismically induced settlement.

According to the City’s General Plan, the project area has a moderate susceptibility to seismically induced settlement. Strong seismic shaking, the 2017 General Plan states, can cause densification or compaction of soils resulting in local or regional settlement of the ground surface, which can cause damage to foundations and structures. To ensure the safety of the project against seismically induced hazards, the project site shall adhere to the standard design requirements stated in the most recent California Building Code (CBC), and the City’s building standards. Overall, impacts from seismically induced ground failure such as liquefaction and settlement are anticipated to be less than significant at the project site. As a result, the potential impacts regarding liquefaction and landslides are less than significant. 153

b) Less Than Significant Impact:

The University of California, Davis SoilWeb database was consulted to determine the nature of the soils that underlie the project site. According to the University of California, Davis SoilWeb database, the property is underlain by Coachella fine sand composed of Coachella, Myoma, Gilman, and Indio soils associations with 0 to 2 percent slopes. The proposed project’s contractors would be required to adhere to specific requirements that govern wind and water erosion during site preparation and construction activities. Following development, the project site would be paved and landscaped, which would minimize soil erosion. The project’s construction would not result in soil erosion with adherence to those development requirements that restrict storm water runoff (and the resulting erosion) and require soil stabilization. In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program.

Prior to initiating construction, contractors must obtain coverage under an NPDES permit, which is administered by the State. In order to obtain an NPDES permit, the project Applicant must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Riverside County has identified sample construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) that may be included in the mandatory SWPPP. The use of these construction BMPs identified in the mandatory SWPPP would prevent soil erosion and the discharge of sediment into the local storm drains during the project’s construction phase. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

The proposed project’s construction would not result in soil erosion since the project’s contractors must implement the construction BMPs identified in the mandatory SWPPP. The BMPs would minimize soil erosion and the discharge of sediment off-site. Additionally, the project site is not located within an area that could be subject to landslides or liquefaction. The soils that underlie the project site possess a low potential for shrinking and swelling. Soils that exhibit certain shrink swell characteristics become sticky when wet and expand according to the moisture content present at the time. Since the soils have a low shrink-swell potential, lateral spreading resulting from an influx of groundwater is slim. Moreover, the project will not result in the direct extraction of groundwater. As a result, the potential impacts would be less than significant. d) Less Than Significant Impact:

The proposed project would be required to connect to and utilize the sanitary sewer system. No 154

septic tanks systems would be used. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. f) Less Than Significant Impact:

According to Figure 4.9.3, Paleontological Sensitivity, in the Riverside County General Plan, the property is recognized for having low potential for Paleontological Sensitivity. Areas recognized for having a “low” potential have a reduced likelihood of containing significant non-renewable paleontological resources, including vertebrate or significant invertebrate fossils. Moreover, the site is not recognized as a unique paleontological or a unique geologic feature. Additionally, the project property lies in an urbanized context within the City, surrounded by residential uses. No known paleontological sites are found within the project site. The potential for uncovering any significant resources during construction activities is unlikely, since the site has already been cleared, graded, and disturbed from previous grading activities. Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated.

8.1 SETTING
Examples of greenhouse gasses (GHG) that are produced both by natural and industrial processes include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The accumulation of GHG in the atmosphere regulates the earth's temperature. Without these natural GHG, the Earth's surface would be about 61°F cooler. However, emissions from fossil fuel combustion have elevated the concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere to above natural levels.

These man-made GHG will have the effect of warming atmospheric temperatures with the attendant impacts of changes in the global climate, increased sea levels, and changes to the worldwide biome. The major GHG that influences global warming are described below. ● Water Vapor. Water vapor is the most abundant GHG present in the atmosphere. While water vapor is not considered a pollutant, while it remains in the atmosphere it maintains a climate necessary for life. Changes in the atmospheric concentration of water vapor are directly related to the warming of the atmosphere rather than a direct result of industrialization. As the temperature of the atmosphere rises, more water is evaporated from ground storage (rivers, oceans, reservoirs, soil). Because the air is warmer, the relative humidity can be higher (in essence, the air is able to “hold” more water when it is warmer), leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere. As a GHG, the higher concentration of water vapor is then able to absorb more thermal indirect energy radiated from the Earth, thus further warming the atmosphere. When water vapor increases in the atmosphere, more of it would eventually also condense into clouds, which are more able to reflect incoming solar radiation. This would allow less energy to reach the Ear th’s surface thereby affecting surface temperatures.
● Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The natural production and absorption of CO2 is achieved through the terrestrial biosphere and the ocean. Manmade sources of CO2 include the burning coal, oil, natural gas, and wood. Since the industrial revolution began in the mid‐1700’s, these activities have increased the atmospheric concentrations of CO2. Prior to the industrial revolution, concentrations were fairly stable at 280 parts per million (ppm). The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 2014) Emissions 156

City of Rancho Mirage 50
of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes contributed about 78% of the total GHG emissions increase from 1970 to 2010, with a similar percentage contribution for the increase during the period 2000 to 2010.
● Methane (CH4). CH4 is an extremely effective absorber of radiation, although its atmospheric concentration is less than that of CO2. Methane’s lifetime in the atmosphere is brief (10 to 12 years), compared to some other GHGs (such as CO2, N2O, and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CH4 has both natural and anthropogenic sources. It is released as part of the biological processes in low oxygen environments, such as in swamplands or in rice production (at the roots of the plants). Over the last 50 years, human activities such as growing rice, raising cattle, using natural gas, and mining coal have added to the atmospheric concentration of methane. Other human-related sources of methane production include fossil‐fuel combustion and biomass burning. ● Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Concentrations of N2O also began to increase at the beginning of the industrial revolution. In 1998, the global concentration of this GHG was documented at 314 parts per billion (ppb). N2O is produced by microbial processes in soil and water, including those reactions which occur in fertilizer containing nitrogen. In addition to agricultural sources, some industrial processes (fossil fuel‐fired power plants, nylon production, nitric acid production, and vehicle emissions) also contribute to its atmospheric load. It is also commonly used as an aerosol spray propellant. ● Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). CFCs are gases formed synthetically by replacing all hydrogen atoms in methane or ethane (C2H6) with chlorine and/or fluorine atoms. CFCs are nontoxic, nonflammable, insoluble, and chemically unreactive in the troposphere (the level of air at the Earth’s surface). CFCs have no natural source but were first synthesized in 1928. It was used for refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and cleaning solvents. Due to the discovery that they are able to destroy stratospheric ozone, a global effort to halt their production was undertaken and in 1989 the European Community agreed to ban CFCs by 2000 and subsequent treaties banned CFCs worldwide by 2010. This effort was extremely successful, and the levels of the major CFCs are now remaining level or declining. However, their long atmospheric lifetimes mean that some of the CFCs would remain in the atmosphere for over 100 years.
● Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). HFCs are synthetic man‐made chemicals that are used as a substitute for CFCs. Out of all the GHGs, they are one of three groups with the highest global warming potential. The HFCs with the largest measured atmospheric abundances are (in order), HFC‐23 (CHF3), HFC‐134a (CF3CH2F), and HFC‐152a (CH3CHF2). Prior to 1990, the only significant emissions were HFC‐23. HFC‐134a use is increasing due to its use as a refrigerant. Concentrations of HFC‐23 and HFC‐134a in the atmosphere are now about 10 parts per trillion (ppt) each. Concentrations of HFC‐152a are about 1 ppt. HFCs are manmade and used for applications such as automobile air conditioners and refrigerants.
● Perfluorocarbons (PFC). PFCs have stable molecular structures and do not break down through the chemical processes in the lower atmosphere. High‐energy ultraviolet rays about 60 kilometers above Earth’s surface are able to destroy the compounds. Because of this, PFCs have very long lifetimes, between 10,000 and 50,000 years. Two common PFCs are tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and hexafluoroethane (C2F6). Concentrations of CF4 in the atmosphere are over 70 ppt. The two main sources of PFCs are primary aluminum production and semiconductor manufacturing.
157

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 51
● Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6). SF6 is an inorganic, odorless, colorless, nontoxic, nonflammable gas. SF6 has the highest global warming potential of any gas evaluated; 23,900 times that of CO2. Concentrations in the 1990s where about 4 ppt. Sulfur hexafluoride is used for insulation in electric power transmission and distribution equipment, in the magnesium industry, in semiconductor manufacturing, and as a tracer gas for leak detection.

The SCAQMD mass emissions threshold is 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (MTCO2E/yr). Carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2E, is a term that is used for describing different greenhouses gases in a common and collective unit.

8.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The State of California requires CEQA documents to do an evaluation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. GHG are emitted by both natural processes and human activities. Examples of GHG that are produced both by natural and industrial processes include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2E, is a term that is used for describing different greenhouses gases in a common and collective unit. The SCAQMD established the 3,000 MTCO2 per year threshold for residential land uses. As indicated in Table 6, the operational CO2E is 333 MTCO2E per year, which is well below the threshold.

Table 6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Metric Tons per year [MT/yr]) Source GHG Emissions (Metric Tons/year)

Total Emissions 342.43
Significance Threshold 3,000 MTCO2E/year
California Air Pollution Control Officers Association. California Emissions Estimator Model. Version 2022.1.1.25 (Used in Appendix A)

As indicated in Table 6, the majority of the GHG emissions (252 out of 342 MTCO2E) would originate from mobile sources. As a result, the potential impacts are considered to be less than significant.

b) Less Than Significant Impact:

The City of Rancho Mirage's 2012 Sustainability Plan: Leadership in Energy Efficiency (Plan) serves as a framework for the development and implementation of policies and programs that would reduce the City's GHG emissions. The Plan is within a broader sustainability planning context supported by Southern California Edison (SCE) and its rate payers in a program called “Green for Life.” The Plan addresses climate change at the local level by taking action to reduce GHG emissions within the City's operations and within the City with the target of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 as set by AB 32. In an effort to stay ahead of impending regulations, this Sustainability Plan defines the City of Rancho Mirage's goal of complying, at a minimum, with statewide mandates to reduce GHG emissions. At the same time, through considered action, Rancho Mirage anticipates the following outcomes:
● Increase energy efficiency in local government operations and in community activities; ● Create new jobs in the community associated with smart energy management; ● Save money now being spent for energy and explore the establishment of a revolving fund whereby energy savings will be available for municipal and community programs to enhance energy efficiency and continue to reduce GHG emissions; ● Maintain or enhance the comfortable desert lifestyle of residents and visitors alike; and ● Bring the CVAG jurisdictions together for effective regional sustainability and climate action planning.

Rancho Mirage completed the 2010 Greenhouse Gas Inventory creating a path to sustainability.

The inventory provided a detailed and clear analysis of the City's "carbon footprint," showing the sources and sectors of emissions, highlighting opportunities for emissions reductions that make sense for Rancho Mirage. Highlights of the 2010 GHG Inventory for Rancho Mirage are included below. (The full Inventory can be found in Section Ill of the Rancho Mirage Sustainability Plan):
● In 2010, Rancho Mirage emitted 277,698 metric tons of C02e. To meet AB 32 targets, by 2020 the City needed to reduce its annual emissions by 54,272 metric tons. ● In 2010, the largest percentage of emissions - over 43% - came from the electricity used to power the City's homes, businesses, resorts, fountains, and streetlights. ● In 2010, the largest percentage of emissions -over 43%- came from the electricity used to power the City’s homes, businesses, resorts, fountains, and streetlights. 8.2 Discussion of Impacts: a) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project would allow for the development of seventeen single-family residential units.

The Rancho Mirage General Plan’s Safety Element in its section on Climate Change includes Goals, Policies and Programs with a preamble identifying the City’s efforts to coordinate with state, regional, and County agencies to establish and maintain an up to date database on climate change conditions in the region, legislation affecting the City’s regulatory responsibilities, and changing technical assessments that refine or re-characterize the climate change impacts 159

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971

City of Rancho Mirage 53
affecting the region. The City would also monitor the effectiveness of its adaptation strategies.

The City’s development review process is designed to assure that development proposals are thoroughly evaluated regarding climate change and that comprehensive mitigation measures are developed and implemented. The City is also taking a proactive role to assure the public is safe by informing them about severity of climate change impacts and what resources are available to them to mitigate these impacts. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.

The project would also comply with applicable Green Building Standards and City of Rancho Mirage’s policies regarding sustainability (as dictated by the City's General Plan, Sustainability Plan, and Energy Action Plan). The previous section evaluated the proposed project’s GHG emissions. The analysis determined that the GHG emissions would be below the regionally accepted thresholds. The calculated emissions would not exceed the GHG and criteria air pollutant thresholds and therefore would not interfere with the City’s efforts to monitor and do its part to address climate change. The proposed project would not involve or require any variance from an adopted plan, policy, or regulation governing GHG emissions. As a result, no potential conflict with an applicable greenhouse gas policy plan, policy, or regulation would occur and the potential impacts are considered to be less than significant.

9.1 SETTING
Hazardous materials refer generally to hazardous substances that exhibit corrosive, poisonous, flammable, and/or reactive properties and have the potential to harm human health and/or the environment. Hazardous materials are used in a wide variety of products (household cleaners, industrial solvents, paint, pesticides, etc.) and in the manufacturing of products (e.g., electronics, newspapers, plastic products). Hazardous materials can include petroleum, natural gas, synthetic gas, acutely toxic chemicals, and other toxic chemicals that are used in agriculture, commercial, and industrial uses; businesses; hospitals; and households. Accidental releases of hazardous materials can occur from a variety of causes, including highway incidents, warehouse fires, train derailments, shipping accidents, and industrial incidents.

9.2 Discussion of Impacts:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The project’s construction would require the use of diesel fuel to power the construction equipment. The diesel fuel would be properly sealed in tanks and would be transported to the site by truck. Other hazardous materials that would be used on-site during the project’s construction phases include, but are not limited to, gasoline, solvents, architectural coatings, and equipment lubricants. These products are strictly controlled and regulated and in the event of any spill, cleanup activities would be required to adhere to all pertinent protocols. As a result, less than significant impacts would occur.
b) Less Than Significant Impact:

The project’s construction would require the use of diesel fuel to power the construction equipment. The diesel fuel would be properly sealed in tanks and would be transported to the site by truck. Other hazardous materials that would be used on-site during the project’s construction phase include, but are not limited to, gasoline, solvents, architectural coatings, and equipment lubricants. These products are strictly controlled and regulated and in the event of any spill, cleanup activities would be required to adhere to all pertinent protocols. As indicated in Subsection D, the project site is not listed in either the CalEPA’s Cortese List or the Envirostor database. As a result, the likelihood of encountering contamination or other environmental concerns during the project’s construction phase is remote. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
c) No Impact:

There are no schools located within one-quarter of a mile from the project site. The nearest school is Palm Valley School, located approximately 1.4 miles north of the project site. The next nearest schools to the project site include Rancho Mirage Elementary school, and Cathedral City Elementary School. The proposed residential project would not create a hazard to any local school. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
162

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 56
d) No Impact:

Government Code Section 65962.5 refers to the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List, commonly known as the Cortese List. The Cortese List is a planning document used by the State and other local agencies to comply with CEQA requirements that require the provision of information regarding the location of hazardous materials release sites. A search was conducted through the California Department of Toxic Substances Control Envirostor website to identify whether the project site is listed in the database as a Cortese site. The project site is not identified as a Cortese site. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
e) No Impact:

The project site is not located within an airport land use plan and the site is not located within two miles of a public airport or public use airport. The nearest airports to the project site include the Palm Springs International Airport, which is located approximately 4.7 miles northwest of the project site and the Bermuda Dunes Airport is located approximately 9 miles east of the project.

The project would not introduce a structure that would interfere with the approach and take off of aircraft utilizing any regional airports. As a result, no impacts related to this issue would occur. f) No Impact:

At no time would any adjacent street be completely closed to traffic during the proposed project’s construction. In addition, all construction staging must occur on-site. As a result, no impacts are associated with the proposed project’s implementation.
g) No Impact:

The project site is not located within a “moderate fire hazard severity zone.” As a result, no impacts would result.

10.1 SETTING
The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the principal Federal law that addresses water quality. The act’s primary objectives are to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters.” The implementation plan for these objectives includes the regulation of pollutant discharges to surface water, financial assistance for public wastewater treatment systems, technology development, and non-point source pollution prevention programs. The Clean Water Act also establishes that states adopt water quality standards to protect public health or welfare and to enhance the quality of water. The use and value of State waters for public water supplies, propagation of fish and wildlife, recreation, agriculture, industrial purposes, and navigation must also be considered by the states.

The National Pollutant Elimination Discharge System (NPDES) applies to Statewide construction activities including clearing, grading, or excavation that results in the disturbance of at least one acre of total land area, or activity which is part of a larger common plan of development of one acre or greater. In most cases, the NPDES permit program is administered by authorized states.

In California, these programs are administered by the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) that issue NPDES permits and enforce regulations in their respective regions. A requirement of the State General Construction Activity NPDES permit is the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP must identify and implement best management practices (BMPs) to reduce impacts to surface water from contaminated stormwater discharges during the construction of the proposed action. Required elements of an SWPPP include the following: site description addressing the elements and characteristics specific to the site; descriptions of BMPs for erosion and sediment controls; BMPs for waste handling and disposal; implementation of approved local plans; proposed post-construction control requirements; and non-stormwater management.

The City of Rancho Mirage is located within the Whitewater River Watershed, which is an arid desert region in Riverside County encompassing an area of approximately 1,645 square miles.

The Whitewater River Region accounts for approximately 367 square miles (22%) of the Whitewater River Watershed. The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCF & WCD), Coachella Valley Water District, (CVWD), and other incorporated cities within the Coachella Valley including Rancho Mirage, have a joint permittee responsibility for this region, also known as the MS4 Permit area. Development in this area would be required to obtain a NPDES permit.

10.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

During construction, compliance with waste discharge requirements would be met through the permit registration and coverage process under the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities, Order No. 2009-0009- DWQ, as amended by 2010- 0014-DWQ and 2012-006-DWQ. This permit is otherwise known as the Construction General Permit (CGP), applicable to any construction activity that results in a land disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre. In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National 165

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 59
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program. As a result, the construction impacts would be less than significant.
b) Less Than Significant Impact:

Water used to control fugitive dust would be transported to the site via truck. No direct ground water extraction would occur. Furthermore, the construction and post-construction BMPs would address contaminants of concern from excess runoff, thereby preventing the contamination of local groundwater. These BMP controls may include, but not be limited to, the following:
● Stabilization practices for all areas disturbed by construction and grading. ● Structural practices for all drainage/discharge locations. ● Stormwater management controls, including measures used to control pollutants occurring in stormwater discharges after construction activities are complete. ● Velocity dissipation devices to provide nonerosive flow conditions from the discharge point along the length of any outfall channel.
● Other controls, including waste disposal practices that prevent discharge of solid materials.

In addition, there would be no direct groundwater withdrawals associated with the proposed project’s implementation. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

The proposed project’s location would be restricted to the proposed project site and would not alter the course of any stream or river that would lead to on- or off-site siltation or erosion. As a result, the potential impacts would be less than significant. d) No Impact:

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance maps obtained for the City of Rancho Mirage, the proposed project site is located in a flood hazard zone, labeled as “Zone X” with the description of “0.2% annual chase flood hazard, areas of 1% annual chance flood with average depth less than one foot or with drainage areas of less than one square mile.” Thus, properties located in “Zone X” are areas of minimal flood hazard. The proposed project site is not located in an area that is subject to inundation by seiche or tsunami.

In addition, the project site is located inland approximately 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the project site would not be exposed to the effects of a tsunami. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
e) No Impact:

The project’s construction would not interfere with any groundwater management or recharge plan since there are no active groundwater management recharge activities on-site or in the vicinity.

According to Appendix D - Hydrology Study and WQMP, Each proposed lot within the project site was separately analyzed for proposed condition basin capacity using Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Shortcut Method for the 1, 3, 6, and 24-hour duration 100-year storm event to determine the worst- case contributing runoff volume. This computed runoff volume was used to size a proposed retention basin for each lot as per City of Rancho Mirage Standard Detail 310 for Retention Basins. The runoff from each proposed onsite area would be directed via swale system to the proposed retention basin. Adjacent half street frontage was added to the runoff area of each lot.

The materials included with this study are presented to satisfy the criteria set forth in the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC & WCD) Hydrology Manual. The onsite/offsite post-developed condition design runoff volume was determined using the worst of the 1, 3, 6, and 24-hour duration storm for the 100-year event. Peak discharges of the 100-year storm event will be determined with the Rational Formula. Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) calculations were performed in accordance with RCFC & WCD criteria. The Hydrologic Soil Group area was determined with the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s National Cooperative Soil Survey (See Reference Material). Point precipitation frequency data was obtained with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Precipitation Frequency Data Server from Atlas 14 (See Reference Material.). The NOAA point precipitation data of the 100-year event will be plotted on a log-log plot to obtain the slope of intensity duration curve which will be used in the Rational Method analysis. Any necessary storm drains will be modeled with the computer modeling software, Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extensions for AutoCAD Civil3D 2024, by Autodesk, Inc. Any necessary storm drain inlets will be sized as per AutoCAD Hydraflow Express Extension, Version 12.

Basin infiltration was not used to size the retention basins. A percolation test will be performed in the future. The 1-hour storm was determined to be the worst case of the 1, 3, 6, and 24-hour duration 100-year storm events for the Synthetic Unit Hydrograph analysis. In general, each lot will have an independent retention basin sized to contain the 100-year 1-hour runoff from each respective lot as well as the adjacent half-street frontage. Each basin will be four to five feet deep with 3 to 1 side slopes and receive runoff from swale flow (See SUH Shortcut Calculations and Preliminary Hydrology Plan in the Reference Materials). The impermeable area used for calculations was based on a 1-acre residential lot from Plate D-5.6 of the RCFC&WCD Hydrology Manual and the adjacent half-street frontage was added. The Runoff Index was selected from Plate D-5.5 (1 of 2) of the RCFC&WCD Hydrology Manual.

As a result, no impacts are anticipated.

11.1 SETTING
The legal framework under which California cities and counties exercise local planning and land use functions is set forth in California Planning and Zoning Law, Government Code Sections 65000–66499.58. Under State planning law, each city and county must adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan. State law provides cities and counties wide latitude in how a jurisdiction may create a general plan. There are certain requirements that must be met including the inclusion of seven mandatory elements described in the Government Code, including a section on land use.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the regional planning organization for six counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The region encompasses a population exceeding 19 million in an area of more than 38,000 square miles. As the designated Council of Governments (COG), the Federal government mandates SCAG to research and develop plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous waste management, and air quality. These mandates led SCAG to prepare comprehensive regional plans to address these concerns. SCAG is responsible for the maintenance of a continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated planning process resulting in a regional transportation plan. SCAG is also responsible for the development of demographic projections and the integrated land use, housing, employment, transportation programs, measures, and strategies for the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP).

The City of Rancho Mirage General Plan Update, adopted November 16, 2017, includes a chapter dedicated for the land use element: Chapter 2 Land Use. This chapter focuses on a comprehensive plan of the general allocation and distribution of land uses throughout Rancho Mirage as well as setting standards and targets for population density and building intensity. The land use includes residential, commercial, open space, recreation, public buildings, and other categories of public and private land uses. The City of Rancho Mirage utilizes a single map system: the City’s General Plan land use designations and the City’s zoning designations are the same. The zoning designation for the project site is Residential Estate (R-E) 168

11.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact:

Land uses and development located in the vicinity of the proposed project site are outlined below:
● North of the project site: The Whitewater Flood Control Channel generally extends along the project area’s north side. This area is designated as Open Space – Floodways and Drainage Channels (OS-W).
● East of the project site: Single family homes are located to the east of the project site.

These homes are designated as Residential Estate (R-E). Further east, the Whitewater Flood Control Channel generally extends along the project area’s east side. These parcels are designated as Open Space – Floodways and Drainage Channels (OS-W). ● South of the project site: Mirage Cove Drive extends along the project area’s south side.

Vista Cove at Rancho Mirage, a resort, and a vacant lot are located further south of the aforementioned roadway. These parcels are designated as Residential Estate (R-E). ● West of the project site: Nielson Road extends along the project area’s west side. Further west of the road are single family homes and a mobile home park. These parcels are designated as Mobile Home Park (MHP) and Residential Estate (R-E).

The granting of the requested entitlements and subsequent construction of the proposed project would not result in any expansion of the use beyond the current boundaries. As a result, the project will not lead to any division of an existing established neighborhood. As a result, no impacts would occur.
b) Less than Significant Impact:

According to the Rancho Mirage Land Use and Zoning Map, the Residential Estate (R-E) designation provides for single family residential developments on lots one acre or larger in size.

The R-E zoning district is intended to provide an intermediate density between more typical residential densities and open space lands. Each individual lot would have a minimum parcel size of 1 acre. Additionally, not only would each individual lot would have a maximum density of 1 du/net acre, at least a 1,000 sq. ft. private outdoor living space, but also the setbacks and other requirements as indicated in the City of Rancho Mirage Code of Ordinance Section 17.08.020 Table 2-3 Residential Zones General Development Standards Requirements by Individual Zoning District. The proposed development would be consistent with this land use designation. As a result, less than significant impact would occur.

12.1 SETTING
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) has developed mineral land classification maps and reports to assist in the protection and development of mineral resources.

According to the SMARA, the following four mineral land use classifications are identified:
● Mineral Resource Zone 1 (MRZ-1): This land use classification refers to areas where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence. ● Mineral Resource Zone 2 (MRZ-2): This land use classification refers to areas where adequate information indicates that significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood for their presence exists. ● Mineral Resource Zone 3 (MRZ-3): This land use classification refers to areas where the significance of mineral deposits cannot be evaluated from the available data. Hilly or mountainous areas underlain by sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock types and lowland areas underlain by alluvial wash or fan material are often included in this category.

Additional information about the quality of material in these areas could either upgrade the classification to MRZ-2 or downgrade it to MRZ-1.
● Mineral Resource Zone 4 (MRZ-4): This land use classification refers to areas where available information is inadequate for assignment to any other mineral resource zone.

12.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a). No Impact:

A review of California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources well finder indicates that there are no wells located in the vicinity of the project site. The project site is not located in a Significant Mineral Aggregate Resource Area (SMARA) nor is it located in an area with active mineral extraction activities.

Resources well finder indicates that there are no wells located within or in the vicinity of the project site. The project site is not located within a designated Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ) which means there are no significant mineral resources present on-site. As indicated previously, there are no active mineral extraction activities occurring on-site or in the adjacent properties. As a result, no impacts to mineral resources would occur.
b) No Impact:

As previously mentioned, no mineral, oil, or energy extraction and/or generation activities are located within the project site. Moreover, the proposed project would not interfere with any resource extraction activity. Therefore, no impacts would result from the implementation of the proposed project.

2. Rancho Mirage, City of. City of Rancho Mirage 2017 General Plan Update. Adopted November 16, 2017.

13.1 SETTING
Noise levels may be described using several methods designed to evaluate the “loudness” of a particular noise. The most commonly used unit for measuring the level of sound is the decibel (dB). Zero on the decibel scale represents the lowest limit of sound that can be heard by humans.

The eardrum may rupture at 140 dB. In general, an increase of between 3.0 dB and 5.0 dB in the ambient noise level is considered to represent the threshold for human sensitivity. Noise level increases of 3.0 dB or less are not generally perceptible to persons with average hearing abilities.

The most commonly used unit for measuring the level of sound is the decibel (dB). Zero on the decibel scale represents the lowest limit of sound that can be heard by humans.

13.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The City regulates noise-generating activities through the Municipal Code and requires that daytime noise levels be 60 dBA CNEL or less at the property line for residential land uses and 45 dBA CNEL or less for all interior areas. Existing land uses in the vicinity of the project site include vacant undeveloped land and residential development. Construction activities would result in localized and temporary increases in ambient noise levels and may impact sensitive receptors.

Construction noise sources are regulated within Sections 8.45.050 and 15.04.030(A) 117.1 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code which prohibit construction activities other than the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with no construction occurring on Sundays or federal holidays. The project ’s construction will occur during the hours permitted by the City of Rancho Mirage. These restrictions, muffling of construction equipment, and other measures will reduce, to some extent, 172

construction noise impacts on surrounding land uses. Impacts will be temporary and will end once construction is complete.

Construction noise will vary depending on the construction process, type of equipment involved, location of the construction site with respect to sensitive receptors, the scheduled proposed to carry out each task (e.g., hours and days of the week) and the duration of the construction work.

The project’s construction noise levels were estimated using the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model Version 1.1. The distance used between the construction activity and the nearest sensitive receptors varied depending on the individual pieces of equipment but a distance of 100 feet was used. The model assumes a 10.0 dBA reduction due to attenuation from the existing walls located along the street frontages of the nearby residential development. The results of the construction noise modeling are presented in Table 7 below. The middle column (“Baseline) indicates the anticipated noise levels adjacent to the construction equipment. The last column indicates the anticipated daytime noise levels 100 feet from the equipment.

Table 7 Construction Noise Levels at the Nearest Sensitive Receptors Construction Equipment Baseline Max (in Lmax) Projected Noise Levels (in Lmax)
Backhoe 77.6 dBA 61.5 dBA
Compactor (ground) 83.2 dBA 67.2 dBA
Concrete Mixer 78.8 dBA 62.8 dBA
Dump Truck 76.5 dBA 60.4 dBA
Excavator 80.7 dBA 64.7 dBA
Grader 85.0 dBA 69.0 dBA
Roller 80.0 dBA 64.0 dBA
Paver 77.2 dBA 61.2 dBA
Tractor 84.0 dBA 68.0 dBA
Flat Bed Truck 74.3 dBA 58.2 dBA
Source: Roadway Construction Noise Model
As shown in Table 7, the majority of the equipment would result in noise levels under 65 dBA at a distance of 100 feet from the equipment generating the noise. All of the adjacent residences are located more than 100 feet from where the equipment would be operating. The proposed project will not expose sensitive receptors to excessive noise levels. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
b) Less Than Significant Impact:

Construction activities would produce varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment and methods employed. While ground vibrations from typical construction activities very rarely reach levels high enough to cause damage to structures, special consideration must be made when sensitive or historic land uses are near the construction site. The construction activities that typically generate the highest levels of vibration are blasting and impact pile driving and the use of a vibratory roller. However, the project would not require blasting, pile driving, or vibratory rollers. The largest piece of vibration-generating equipment that could be used for project 173

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 67
construction is a large bulldozer. Large bulldozers generate a vibration level of 0.089 in/sec PPV at 25 feet. Existing or potential noise sensitive residential development is located on all sides of the project site. Ground vibrations associated with construction activities using modern construction methods and equipment rarely reach the levels that result in damage to nearby buildings though vibration related to construction activities may be discernible in areas located near the construction site. A possible exception is in older buildings where special care must be taken to avoid damage.

Table 8 summarizes the levels of vibration and the usual effect on people and buildings. The U.S.

Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has guidelines for vibration levels from construction related to their activities and recommends that the maximum peak-particle-velocity (PPV) levels remain below 0.05 inches per second at the nearest structures. PPV refers to the movement within the ground of molecular particles and not surface movement. Vibration levels above 0.5 inches per second have the potential to cause architectural damage to normal dwellings. The U.S.

DOT also states that vibration levels above 0.015 inches per second (in/sec) are sometimes perceptible to people, and the level at which vibration becomes an irritation to people is 0.64 inches per second. The effects of vibration on buildings are summarized in Table 8.

Table 8 Common Effects of Construction Vibration
Peak Particle
Velocity (in/sec) Effects on Humans Effects on Buildings

3.0 Vibration is unpleasant Potential for architectural damage and possible minor structural damage
Source: U.S. Department of Transportation
Various types of construction equipment have been measured under a wide variety of construction activities with an average of source levels reported in terms of velocity levels as shown in Table

8. Although the table gives one level for each piece of equipment, it should be noted that there is a considerable variation in reported ground vibration levels from construction activities. The data in Table 9 does provide a reasonable estimate for a wide range of soil conditions. Based on Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment, a vibration level of 102 VdB (vibration decibels, or 0.5 inches per second [in/sec]) is considered safe and would not result in any construction vibration damage.

The project will be required to adhere to all pertinent City noise control regulations. The limited duration of construction activities and the City’s construction-related noise control requirements will reduce the potential impacts. A vibration level of 0.089 in/sec PPV at 25 feet would be 0.53 in/sec PPV at 40 feet and 0.089 in/sec PPV at 25 feet (refer to Table 9). These vibration levels would be less than the FTA thresholds. Additionally, construction equipment would move throughout the entire site and would only be located near the project boundaries for short periods of time. Thus, vibration levels at the receptors located near the project boundaries would be less than these maximum levels for a majority of the construction period. Although vibration levels may be perceptible for short periods of time, maximum vibration levels would not exceed FTA thresholds. Therefore, project construction would not generate excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels, and impacts would be less than significant. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
c) No Impact:

The project site is not located within an airport land use plan and is located within two miles of a public airport or public use airport. The nearest airports to the project site include the Palm Springs International Airport, which is located approximately 4.7 miles northwest of the project site and the Bermuda Dunes Airport is located approximately 9 miles east of the project. As a result, the proposed project will not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels related to airport uses. As a result, no impacts would occur.

14.1 SETTING
According to the Demographics and Growth Forecast Technical Report Adopted on September 3, 2020 by SCAG, the City of Rancho Mirage’s population is projected to increase from the year 2016 figure of 18,200 to 25,200 in the year 2045, an increase of 7,000. The 2024 population estimate of the City of Rancho Mirage is 18,001, according to the United States Census Bureau.

The average persons per household is 1.97. An estimated 49.9% of the population in Rancho Mirage is 65 years or older.

14.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

Growth-inducing impacts are generally associated with the provision of urban services to an undeveloped or rural area. Growth-inducing impacts include the following:
● New development in an area presently undeveloped and economic factors which may influence development. The site is currently undeveloped. All land use surrounding the property are designated for residential development.
● Extension of roadways and other transportation facilities. Future roadway and infrastructure connections will serve the proposed project site only. ● Extension of infrastructure and other improvements. The installation of any new utility lines will not lead to subsequent offsite development since these utility connections will serve the site only.
● Major off-site public projects (treatment plants, etc.). The project’s increase in demand for 176

City of Rancho Mirage 70
utility services can be accommodated without the construction or expansion of landfills, water treatment plants, or wastewater treatment plants. ● The removal of housing requiring replacement housing elsewhere. The site contains a single older dilapidated housing unit. As a result, no replacement housing will be required. ● Additional population growth leading to increased demand for goods and services. The proposed 16-unit project would potentially result in 31 new residents assuming an average household size of 1.95 persons per household derived from the 2023 United States Census Bureau for the City of Rancho Mirage.
● Short-term growth-inducing impacts related to the project’s construction. The project will result in temporary employment during the construction phase.

The newly established roads and existing utility lines will serve the project site only and will not extend into undeveloped areas. According to the Demographics and Growth Forecast Technical Report Adopted on September 3, 2020 by SCAG, the City of Rancho Mirage’s population is projected to increase from the year 2016 figure of 18,200 to 25,200 in the year 2045, an increase of 7,000. The 2024 population estimate of the City of Rancho Mirage is 18,001, according to the United States Census Bureau. The proposed project will not result in any unplanned growth.

Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant.

15.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
i) Less Than Significant Impact:

The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD), under contract with the City of Rancho Mirage, provides a full range of 24-hour fire protection and emergency medical services to the City. The City’s Fire Department serves approximately 25 square miles with an estimated service population of 18,001 (Riverside County Fire Department for Rancho Mirage). RCFD maintains two fire stations within the City of Rancho Mirage, Fire Station 50, and Fire Station 69. Fire Station 50 is located at 70-801 Highway 111. From the City of Rancho Mirage General Plan Update Public Services + Facilities Element, Fire Station 50 covers the southern portion of the City Fire Station 69 is located at 71-751 Gerald Ford Drive. The Riverside County Fire Department operates under a Regional Fire Protection Program, which allows all of its fire stations to provide support as needed regardless of jurisdictional boundaries.

The RCFD currently reviews all new development plans. The proposed project would be required to conform to all fire protection and prevention requirements, including, but not limited to, building setbacks, emergency access, and fire flow (or the flow rate of water that is available for extinguishing fires). The proposed project would only place an incremental demand on fire services since the installation of fire hydrants and sprinkler systems inside the buildings.

Furthermore, the project will be reviewed by County Fire officials to ensure adequate fire service and safety as a result of project implementation. Development of the proposed project would result in a minimal increase in demand for fire services. Service calls could place an additional demand on fire personnel, fire apparatus and equipment. The project will be constructed with strict adherence to all pertinent building and fire codes. In addition, the proposed project would be required to implement all pertinent Fire Code Standards. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
ii) Less Than Significant Impact:

Law enforcement services in the City of Rancho Mirage are provided under a contractual agreement with Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD). The Sheriff’s department provides 24-hour police law enforcement services and operates a small police substation at the Rancho Mirage Public Library. The main County sheriff’s station is located Palm Desert at 73-705 Gerald Ford Drive. This station is approximately 4.4 miles from the project site. The City’s police department patrols 7 days a week, 365 days a year and 24-hours a day. According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Lieutenant Christopher Ternes, the RCSD consists of 10 dedicated police personnel, 19 patrol deputies, and 4 non-dedicated deputies. the City provided a ratio of 1 officer per 786 residents, which is well above the commonly used and accepted ratio of one officer per 1,000 residents. Emergency response times vary and are dependent on the location of patrol cars. The average response time for priority 1 calls in the City of Rancho Mirage was 5 t o 6 minutes.

The project site is located in an existing urban area and is currently serviced by the Sheriff’s Department. Therefore, the proposed project would not substantially increase the need for new or expanded police facilities and response times are not expected to be impacted. Additionally, 179

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 73
all new construction in the City will be required to pay Development Impact Fees to assist in offsetting impacts to police services. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. iii) Less Than Significant Impact:

The project site is within the boundary of the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD). The construction of the proposed 16 single family units would not create a significant increase in school enrollments. The project would be required to pay School Impact Fees to the PSUSD.

According to the Palm Springs Unified School District, current impact fees at the time of writing is $5.17 per square foot for residential development and $0.84 for commercial/industrial development. The payment of these fees is considered to be mitigation of potential impacts. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
iv) Less Than Significant Impact:

City of Rancho Mirage provides public parks, open space, and multi-city recreational facilities with various amenities. The proposed project would be required to comply with the City’s parkland in lieu fee (Quimby) and other development impact fees requirements. The future residents generated by project implementation may lead to an incremental increase in physical deterioration of City public recreational facilities. The occupancy of the 16-units would not substantially increase the use of existing parks so as to accelerate their physical deterioration since the site is relatively small and it would provide private open space amenities. Additionally, the project will be required to comply with the City’s development impact fee requirements. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.
v) Less Than Significant Impact:

The proposed project would not generate substantial population growth that would increase the demand for other governmental service. The review of the project indicates that this development will not create any unique public facilities which require extensive maintenance. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.

16.1 SETTING
The City of Rancho Mirage contains several mini parks and local parks. Mini Parks are usually less than one acre and are intended to complement adjacent uses. These types of parks may be children’s play lots, passive seating areas, city entry features, or special purpose open space areas. Local parks are intended for the active and passive recreation needs of nearby residents in the park’s vicinity. These types of parks may include picnic areas, playground equipment, hard court areas, multi-purpose playfields, limited parking, and special landscaping and public art. The nearest park is the Michael S. Wolfson Park located approximately 700 feet north of the project site.

16.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The project would be required to comply with the City’s parkland in lieu fee (Quimby) and other development impact fees requirements.

As previously indicated, the implementation of the proposed project would not physically impact any existing parks and recreational facilities in the City. No such facilities are located adjacent to the project site. The project would be required to comply with the City’s parkland in lieu fee (Quimby) and other development impact fees requirements. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant.

17.1 SETTING
The City of Rancho Mirage has two regional routes through Rancho Mirage: State Highway 111 and U.S. Interstate 10 (I-10). These highway routes provide regional and interstate connections for Rancho Mirage and Coachella Valley. There are 5 categories in the Rancho Mirage roadway hierarchy: Major Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, Minor Collector, and Local streets. The City of Rancho Mirage is required to operate these roads and all corridors at a level of service (LOS) of D or higher. Streets located within and along the boundaries of the project site include Nielson Road, Peterson Road, Kelley Lane, and Mirage Cove Drive are all classified as Local streets.

17.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

The trip generation for the proposed project is based on the trip generation rates for Land Use 210 – “Single-Family Detached Housing” included in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition.

Source: Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition As shown in Table 10, the proposed project is forecast to generate 12 total trips in the AM peak hour, 16 total trips in the PM peak hour, and 151 daily trips. The proposed project would not create a level of service deficiency at any area intersection due to the limited trip generation. As a result, the impacts will be less than significant.
b) Less than Significant Impact:

The City’s Transportation Analysis Policy identifies three types of screening criteria under which projects are not required to submit a detailed VMT analysis and a presumption of a less than significant transportation impact can be made based on the facts of the project. Project Type Screening Certain types of projects are exempt from the need to prepare a detailed VMT and may be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact as they are local serving by nature, thus shortening travel distances by introducing shopping/services within the community, or they are small enough to not warrant assessment. As specified in the City’s Transportation Analysis Policy, the following types of projects may be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact:
● Local serving retail projects less than 50,000 square feet; ● Day care centers;
● Local parks;
● Local-serving public facilities;
● Ministerial projects;
● Small infill projects;
● Restricted affordable, transit supportive residential projects in planned growth areas with high-quality Transit;
● Transportation projects that do not increase VMT; and ● Projects that generate less than 110 daily vehicle trips. This provision generally correlates to typical development as listed as follows: 11 single-family residential dwelling units; 16 multi-family condominium or townhouse residential dwelling units; or 10,000 square feet of office.

The proposed project’s trip daily generation is 151 trips. However, the proposed 16-unit residential development is considered to be a small infill project. According to the VMT legislation (SB 743) an “Infill site” means a lot located within an urban area that has been previously developed, or on a vacant site where at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the site adjoins, or is separated only by an improved public right-of-way from, parcels that are developed with 184

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971

City of Rancho Mirage 78
qualified urban uses. The nearest major intersections to the project site are listed below. The proposed project is anticipated to generate 160 daily trips with 13 morning (AM) peak hour trips and 17 evening (PM) peak hour trips. As a result, the impacts would be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

The individual units would be located on the Peterson Road and Kelley Lane. The proposed project will not expose future drivers to dangerous intersections or sharp curves and the proposed project will not introduce incompatible equipment or vehicles to the adjacent roads. As a result, the potential impacts would be less than significant.
d) No Impact:

The proposed project would not affect emergency access to any adjacent parcels. At no time during construction will adjacent streets be completely closed to traffic. All construction staging must occur on-site. As a result, no impacts are associated with the proposed project’s implementation.

18.1 SETTING
The California State Government passed AB 4239, creating the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC is responsible for identifying and categorizing Native American cultural resources as well as preventing damages to designated sacred sites and associated artifacts and remains. Legislation passed in 1982 authorized the NAHC to identify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) when Native American remains are found outside of any place other than a designated cemetery. An MLD has the authority to make recommendations in regard to the treatment and disposition of the discovered remains.

The Native American Historic Resource Protection Act or Assembly Bill (AB 52), defines guidelines for reducing conflicts between Native Americans and development projects and activities. Projects are subject to AB 52 if a notice of preparation for an EIR is filed or a notice of intent to adopt a Negative or Mitigated Negative Declaration is filed on or after July 1, 2016. “Tribal Cultural Resources” (TCR) are protected under CEQA and are defined as a site, feature, place, cultural landscape (must include the size and scope of landscape), sacred place, and object with a cultural value to a California Native American tribe that is either included or eligible for inclusion in the California Register or included in a local register of historical resources. At the lead agency’s discretion, a resource can be treated as a TCR if a Native American Tribe provides substantial evidence. Additionally, AB 52 allows tribes to engage in consultation with lead agencies and sets guidelines for such consultation.

18.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation:

A Tribal Resource is defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 and includes the following:
● Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with 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 I of Section 5024.1.

In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision I 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 “non-unique archaeological resource” as defined in subdivision (h) of Section 21083.2 may also be a tribal cultural resource if it conforms to the criteria of subdivision (a).

All potentially interested tribes identified by the NAHC were also contacted pursuant to AB-52 for information regarding their knowledge of cultural resources that were within or near the project area. Tribal consultation was completed on May 15, 2025. The tribal consultation letters are attached as Appendix G – Tribal Consultation Letters. All potentially interested tribes identified by the NAHC were also contacted pursuant to AB-52 for information regarding their knowledge of cultural resources that were within or near the project area. These groups include the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Augustine Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, Cahuilla Band of Indians, Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians, Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians, La Posta Band of Duegueno Mission Indians, Los Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, Manzanita Band of Kumeyaay Nation, Mesa Grand Band of Diegueno Mission Indians, Morongo Band of Mission Indians, Pechanga Band of Indians, Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma, Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation, Ramona Band of Cahuilla, Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, and Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians.

Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians responded they are “unaware of specific cultural resources that may be affected by the proposed project.”
The Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma responded they “[did] not wish to comment on this project.” The City has not received any additional correspondence from the Pechanga Band of Indians since April 21, 2025. In accordance with AB 52, and based on the reasonable and good-faith efforts detailed in the City’s letter in Appendix G – Tribal Consultation Letters, the City concluded 187

16 Lot Subdivision • TTM 38971
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
June 2025

City of Rancho Mirage 81
that mutual agreement could not be reached. Therefore, the AB 52 Tribal Consultation period with the Pechanga Band of Indians would be considered closed.

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) has met with city staff for a consultation meeting to address concerns regarding the project’s impact on Tribal Cultural resources. As a result of the meeting, the ACBCI requested the addition of the following mitigations d to ensure the protection of tribal cultural resources within an April 29, 2025 letter . The applicant would be required to follow the mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to tribal cultural resources:

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation No. 1 The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians must be notified a minimum of 30 days prior 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 archaeologist and/or approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s).

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation No. 2 A qualified archaeologist 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 actions 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 archaeological recovery if a substantial cultural deposit is encountered. If artifacts are discovered, these shall be cataloged and analyzed. The archaeologist 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.

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation No. 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 MLD would have 48 hours to access the site and make a recommendation regarding disposition of the remains.

b) Less Than Significant Impact:

The project site is located within or on the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians territory. A search of the National Register of Historic Places and the list of California Historical Resources was conducted, and it was determined that no Native historic resources was listed within the City of Rancho Mirage. Since the project’s implementation would not impact any Federal, State, or locally designated historic resources. As a result, no impacts would occur. 188

19.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) Less Than Significant Impact:

There are no existing water or wastewater treatment plants, electric power plants, telecommunications facilities, natural gas facilities, or stormwater drainage infrastructure located on-site. Therefore, the project’s implementation will not require the relocation of any of the aforementioned facilities. The existing unit located on the property is dilapidated and would be replaced. As a result, the potential impacts would be less than significant. b) Less Than Significant Impact:

Groundwater is the primary source of domestic water supply in the Coachella Valley. The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is the largest provider of potable water in the valley and currently provides potable water in the project vicinity. CVWD operates more than 100 wells and serves a population of 290,000 in its service areas. CVWD’s 2012 adopted Water Management Plan and 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) have been developed to assist the agency in reliably meeting current and future water demands in a cost-effective manner. The 2015 UWMP serves as a planning tool that documents actions in support of long-term water resources planning and ensures adequate water supplies are available to meet the existing and future urban water demands. There are no existing water infrastructure located on-site. The proposed development would connect to a new 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer main in Peterson Road. As indicated in Table 11, the proposed project is projected to consume approximately 9,066 gallons of water on a daily basis.

Table 11 Water Consumption (gals/day)

The existing water supply facilities and infrastructure will be able to accommodate this additional demand. In addition, the proposed project will be equipped with water efficient fixtures and drought tolerant landscaping will be planted throughout the project site. As a result, the impacts are considered to be less than significant. As a result, the impacts will be less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact:

and nearly 6.3 billion gallons of wastewater is treated yearly. CVWD’s peak flow factor of 200 gallons per day per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU), was used to determine the proposed wastewater generation for the project. The site was found to provide approximately 55 EDU and estimates a total wastewater demand of approximately 11,000 gallons per day (gpd), or 0.011 MGD. In addition, wastewater generated by the Project will be conveyed to CVWD Wastewater Reclamation Plant Number 10 in Palm Desert (WRP-10). Per the 2015 CVWD Urban Water Management Plan, WRP-10 has a capacity to treat 18 million gallons per day (MGD). This plant treats an annual average flow of 10.8 MGD (12,000 AFY) from the activated sludge plant. There are no existing water infrastructure located on-site. The proposed development would connect to a new 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer main in Peterson Road. According to Table 12, the proposed project is expected to generate approximately 2,096 gallons of sewage per day.

Table 12 Wastewater (Effluent) Generation (gals/day)

The proposed project’s sewage generation will likely be lower since the new plumbing fixtures that will be installed will consist of water conserving fixtures as is required by the current City Code requirements. As a result, the impacts are expected to be less than significant. d) Less Than Significant Impact:

Solid waste disposal and recycling services for the City of Rancho Mirage is provided by Burrtec.

Solid waste and recycling collected from the proposed project will be hauled to the Edom Hill Transfer Station. Waste from this transfer station is then sent to a permitted landfill or recycling facility outside of the Coachella Valley. These include Badlands Disposal Site, El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill and Lamb Canyon Disposal Site. Cal-Recycle data indicates the Bandlands Disposal site has 15,748,799 cubic yards of remaining capacity, the El Sobrante Landfill has a remaining capacity of 143,977,170 tons of solid waste, and Lamb Canyon Disposal has a remaining solid waste capacity of 19,242,950 cubic yards.

The proposed project is anticipated to generate approximately 259 pounds per day of solid waste (refer to Table 13). The projected quantify of solid waste is limited and can be accommodate by the existing capacity. As a result, the potential impacts are considered to be less than significant.

20.1 SETTING
According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project may be deemed to have a significant adverse impact on wildfire risk and hazards if it results in any of the following:
● The proposed project would, if located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
● The proposed project would, if located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire. ● The proposed project would, if located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project require the installation 194

or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment.
● The proposed project would, if located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.

According to the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, The risk of fire in Rancho Mirage is considered moderate to very high due to a combination of hot dry summers, steep mountain terrain and sparse scrub vegetation. Although the majority of land within the City includes urbanized land such as golf courses, manicured lawns and street parkways, the northernmost area of the City (generally north of Ramon Road) is moderately susceptible to fire.

20.2 DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS:
a) No Impact:

Surface streets would be improved so as to serve the project site and adjacent area.

Furthermore, the proposed project would not involve the closure or alteration of any existing evacuation routes that would be important in the event of a wildfire. At no time during construction will adjacent streets be completely closed to traffic. All construction staging must occur on-site.

As a result, no impacts would occur.
b) No Impact:

The project site is located in the midst of an undeveloped area. The proposed project may be exposed to particulate emissions generated by wildland fires in the mountains located to the west of the site. However, the potential impacts would not be exclusive to the project site since criteria pollutant emissions from wildland fires may affect the entire City as well as the surrounding cities and unincorporated county areas. As a result, no impacts would occur. c) No Impact:

The project site is not located in an area that is classified as a moderate fire risk severity within a State Responsibility Area (SRA), and therefore will not require the installation of specialized infrastructure such as fire roads, fuel breaks, or emergency water sources. As a result, no impacts would occur.
d) No Impact:

There is no risk from wildfire within the project site or the surrounding area given the project site’s distance from any area that may be subject to a wildfire event. In addition, the site is not located within a moderate fire risk and state responsibility area. Therefore, the project would not expose future residents to flooding or landslides facilitated by runoff flowing down barren and charred slopes. As a result, no impacts would occur.

A focused plant survey should be considered for all special status plant species that have the potential to occur on the site to be performed during the blooming season (April-June) to determine the potential environmental effects of the proposed projects on special status plants and sensitive natural communities following recommended protocols by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure No. 1. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians must be notified a minimum of 30 days prior 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 archaeologist and/or approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor(s).

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure No. 2. A qualified archaeologist 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 actions 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 archaeological recovery if a substantial cultural deposit is encountered. If artifacts are discovered, these shall be cataloged and analyzed.

The archaeologist 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.

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure No. 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 MLD would have 48 hours to access the site and make a recommendation regarding disposition of the remains. b) No Impact:

The proposed project would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. The environmental impacts will not lead to a cumulatively significant impact on any of the issues analyzed herein.
