Proiect Descriotion;The City of La Quinta is proposing a 10 -acre flood control retention basin to be located
at a currently vacant site bounded by Coachella'Drive to the north, Eisenhower Drive to the east, Avenida
Fernando to the south, and the Santa Rosa Mountains to the west. The project site is relatively flat and
consists predominately ofdesertsaltbush scrub, which is a natural vegetation community underthe Coachella
Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP).
Runoff.water enters the site from the slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains forming short channels of varying
lengths. The site is surrounded by a block wall on all downslope sides with no obvious outlet for accumulated
water. The project is intended to correct this blockage by providing proper storm water outflow and storage
during a flood event.
No potentially significant effects on the environment are anticipated as a result of the proposed project;
therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act. The Initial Study/Environmental Assessment and all documents referenced
therein may be viewed by the public Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday 8:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m., at the Design and Development Department, La, Quinta City Hall, 78495 Calle Tampico, La
Quinta, California.
Comment Period: The public is invited to comment on the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration during
the public review period beginning on February 2, 2018 and ending on March 4, 2018. Please provide
