INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our Geotechnical Investigation performed is order to provide
recommendations for the design and construction of the foundations for the proposed resort
residential complex. The project site is located on the west side of Eisenhower Drive just north of
Avenida Fernando in the City of La Quint&, California. The preliminary plans indicate that the
proposed project wM include a destination resort complex and various related site improvements.
The associated site improvements will include concrete walkways, patios, paved roadways,
driveways and parking areas, swimming pools, various underground utilities and landscape areas -
SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our investigation was to determine certain engineering characteristics of the near
surface soils on the site in order to develop recommendations for foundation design and site
preparation. Our investigation included field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis
and the preparation of this report_ Evaluation of environmental ieeuce or hazardous materials was
not within the scope of services provided. Our inve%tigation was performed in accordance with
contemporary geotechnical engineering principles and practice, We make no other warranty, either
express or implied.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the west side of Eisenhower Drive just north of Avenida Fernando in
the City of La Quinta, California. The preliminary site plan provided by Centex Destination Resorts
indicatna that the project will consist of a multi -building resort re3idential development. It is our
understanding that the proposed residential buildings will be of relatively lightweight wood -frame
construction. The associated site improvements will include concrete walkways and patios, paved
roadways, driveways and parking areas, swimming pools, landscape areas and various underground
utilities.
The project site is presently vacant and the ground surface is covered with scattered desert bruah,
weeds, short grass and debris_ The &subject site is generally trianguVAr in shape and occupies
approximately 68 acres. The eouthera, western and northern edges of the site are delineated by the
baso of the Santa Rosa 1Vl9untains that ascend stccplp upward from tho level portions of the site.
The majority of the site is relatively level and near the elevation of the adjacent property to the east
and Streets. There are underground utilities along the nearby street. The La Quinta Reeort and Spa
facility is located south of the site beyond the mountain ridge that separates the properties. The La
Quinta Country Club development is located east of the site beyond Eisenhower Drive. The adjacent
property to the northeast of the site remains vacant.
Based upon our previous experience with similar lightweight wood -frame
structures, we expect that
isolated column loads will be less than 30 kips and wall loading will be less than 3.0 kips per linear
foot. Orading is expected to include minor Guts and fill* to construct slightly elevated buildit►g pads
and to accommodate site drainage. This does not include removal and reeompaction of the
foundation bearing soils within the building areas. If the anticipated foundatiou loading or site
grading varies substantially from that assumed, the recommendations included in this report should
be reevaluated_

GEOLOGY AND SEISMICITY
The project site is located within the northern portion of the Salton Trough which is a structural
depression resulting from movement along faults within the region. Generally, the trough is defined
on the northeast by the San Andreas. Fault zone and on the southwest by the San Jacinto 1' ault zone_
The Balton Trough represents a northerly extension of the gulf of California. The Salton Trough has
experienced ongoing deposition of sedimenta (both marine and non-msrins) since Miocene times,
The Bite is underlain by Quaternary lake and alluvial deposits consisting of interbedded silty sands,
silts and clays. The site is underlain by several thousand feet of lacustrine and alluvial. deposits.
Seismic activity along the nearby faults continues to affect the area and the Coachella Valley is
considered one of the more seismically active regions in California. The San -Andreas Fault system is
the closest fault zone to the site, The San Andreas Fault is considered capable of generating a
Maximum Credible Earthquake of magnitude 8 0 in the event of multiple segment grotuid rupture.
The Mission Creek segment is considered capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude 7.5.
Based upon an estimated distance to the fault of approximately 11.6krn. the maximum site
acceleration is estimated to be approximately 0.368g -
Several significant seismic events have occurred within the Coachella Valley during the past 60
years. The events include Desert Flot Springs - 1948 (6-6 Magnitude), Palm Springs • 19W (5,9
Magnitude), Deaert Hot Springs - 1992 (6,1 Magnitude), Landers - 1992 (7-5 Magnitude) and Big
Bear - 1992 (6.6 Magnitude).
SUBSUBPA,CE CONDITIONS
The site is underlain primarily by native sandy silts and fine-grained silty sands. In general, the
site soils appeared loose throughout the upper 5 to 10 feet but sampler penetration resistance (aa
measured by field blow counts) indicate that density generally increases with depth Relatively
undisturbed samples indicated in-place they density varying from 78 to 97 pounds per cubic foot. The
site soils were found to be generally dry throughout the depth of our borings but some of the deeper
soils were moist Moisture contents varying hom.0 to 19 percent were determined for the samples
obtained within our borings- ,
Laboratory classification testing indicates that the near surface soils consist primarily of sandy ¢ills
and silty fine grained sande. l;xpansion testing indicates that the surface soils are generally non -
expansive and fall within the "very low' expansion category in accordancc with the Uniform Building
Cods classification system.
No groundwater was encountered within our borings that extended to a depth of approximately 50
foot below the existing ground surface. Groundwater should not be a factor in foundation design or
construction-

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon our field and laboratory investigation, it is our opinion that the proposed resort
residential complex is feasible from a soil mechanic's standpoint provided that the recommendations
included in this report are considered in building foundation design and site grading. Due to the
loose and compressible conditions of the near surface native soils, remedial grading including over -
excavation and recompaction is recommended for the proposed building areas.
We recommend that remedial grading within the proposed building areae include over -excavation
and recompaetion of the artificial fills and the primary foundation boaring soils. Specific
recommendations for site preparation are presented in the site grading section of this report_
Groundwater was not encountered within our borings and groundwater is expected to be in excess of
60 feet below the existing ground surface in the vicinity of the :cite. Due to the depth to groundwater,
specific liquefaction analyses were not performed. Based upon the depth to groundwater, the
generally dense conditions of the deeper silty sands and the prominence of non•liquefiuhle sandy silts
within our borings, the potential for liquefaction and the related surficial affects of liquefaction
impacting the site aro considered negligible.
The site is located at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains and Acep slopes of exposed bedrock form
the southern, weti-tern and northern property boundaries- The natural slope; consist of weathered
bedrock and loose boulders and cobbles exist throughout the exposed surface. Some of tho eurface
rocks may be eu.-sccptible to downslope movement resulting from erosion or seismic events. The
proposed site configuration including the construction of retention bruins along the base of the
mountains should adequately mitigate rockfall or rolling boulder hazards.
The site is located in one of the more seismically active areas in California. Design professionals
should be aware of the site !matting and the potential for earthquake activity during the anticipated
life of the structure should be acknowlodged. The accelerations that may be experienced on the site
las previously discussed) should be considered in design. The seismic provisions included in the
Uniform Building Code for Seismic Zone 4 should be considered the minimum design criteria,
Pertinent 19971111C Seismic Design 06tcria is summarized in Appendix C_
Caving did occur to varying degrees within our borings and the potential for caving should be
expected within deeper excavations. All excavations should be constructed in accordance with the
normal CalOSHA excavation criteria. On the basis of our observations of the materials encountered;
we anticipate that the near surface silty sands will be classified ns Type "B' or "C' in accordance
with CalOSHA classification criteria- Soil conditions should be verified in the field by a 'Competent
person" employed by the Contractor -
The near surface sandy silts and silty sands encountered during our investigation were found to be
generally non -expansive- Laboratory testing indicated Expansion lndices of 1 and 19 for near
Surface sandy silts and the "alty sands that corresponds with the "very low" expansion entegory in
accordance with UBC Table 18-I•B. Because substantial mixing and blending of the surface wile is
expected during site grading the expansion potential may change. The expansive potential should be
evaluated after grading and the foundation and slab design should be modified if deemed necessary.

Several large cracks and/or fissures were observed within the southern and eastern portion of the
site. The cracks appear to be the result of drying shrinkage within the near surface silt layers and
exploratory trenches excavated along the cracks indicate that the cracks disappear -approximately 4
to 5 feet below grade. It ie possible that the noted cracks may be related to ground subsidence within
the central portion of the valley. The surface manifestation of regional subsidence would likely
iadude the creation of tension zones and tension cracks around the perimeter of the valley -
The following recommendations present more detailed design criteria. which have been developed on
the basis of our field and laboratory investigation_
Foundation Design- The results of our investigation indicate that either conventional
shallow continuous footings or isolated pad footings, which are supported upon properly
recompacted soils- may be expectedto provide satisfactory support for the proposed self -
storage buildings. Over -excavation and/or recompaction should be performed as described in
the Site Grading Section of this report.
Footinp should extend at least 12 inches beneath lowest adjacent grade. Isolated square or
rectangular foutingn at least 2•fect square may be designed using an :allowable bearing
pressure of 2000 pounds per square foot. Continuous footings at least 12 inches wide may be
designed using an allowable bearing pressure of 1800 pounds per square foot. Allowable
increases of 200 psf for each additional 1 foot of width and 260 psf for each additional 6
inches of depth may be utilized if desired. The maximum allowable bearing pressure should
be 2500 pat. The allowable bearing pressures are for dead and frequently applied live loads
and may be increased by 1/3 to resist wind, seismic or other transient loading
Care should be taken to see that bearing soils are not allowed to become saturated from the
ponding of rainwater or irrigation. Drainage from the building areas should be rapid and
complete.
The recommendations made in the preceding paragraphs are based on the assumption that
all footings will be supported upon properly compacted engineered fill soils. All grading shall
be performed under the testing and inspection of the Solls Engineer or his representative.
Prior to the placement of concrete, we recommend that the footing excavations be inspected
in order to verify that they extend into compacted sail and are free of loose and disturbed
materials.
Sottlemonte: Settlements may result from the anticipated foundation loads. These
estimated ultimate settlomente are calculated to be a maximum of 1 -inch when using the
recommended bearing values. As a practical matter, differential settlements between
footings can be assumed as one -hall of the total settlement. Subsidence related to e6amic
events or groundwater depletion is a possibility in the Coachella Valley. Subsidence from
groundwater depletion is not expected to occur directly beneath the site but the proximity of
the mountain ridges suggests that tension zones may develop on tho site as a result of
regional subsidence -
Lateral Design: Resistance to lateral Ion" can be provided by a combination of friction
acting at the base of the slabs or foundations and passive earth pressure along the sides of
the foundatione. A coefficient of friction of 0.40 between soil and concrete may be used with
dead load forces only. A passive earth pressure of 250 pounds per square foot, per foot of
depth, may be used for the sides of footings. which are poured against properly compacted
native soils-

Shrinkage and Subsidence: Voltunetric shrinkage of the material, that is excavated and
replaced as cvntrollcd compacted fill should be anticipated- We estimate that this shrinkage
could vary from 25 to 30 percent. Subsidence of the surfaces that are scarified and
compacted should be between 0.1 and 0.3 tenths of a fool. This will vary depending upon the
type of equipment used, the moisture content of the soil at the time of grading and the actual
degree of compaction attained.
These values for shrinkage and subsidence are exclusive of losses that will occur due to the
stripping of the organic material from the site, the removal of deletetiouA materials add the
removal of debris, and other subsurface obstructions-
Goveral Site Grading: All grading should be performed in accordance with the grading
ordinance of the City of I•a Quinta. California. The following recommendations have been
developed on the basis of our field and laboratory tanting=
1. Clearing and Grubbing. Proper clearing of any existing vegetation and debris will
be very important. All surfaces to receive compacted fill should be cleared of roots,
vegetation, debris. and other unsuitable materials that should be removed from the
site. Soils that are disturbed due to the romoval of the surface vegetation, previous
improvements or artificial fill material should be replaced ae controlled compacted
fill under the direction of the Soils Engineer.
2. Preparation of Building Areae: Within the building areas, removal and/or
recompaction of the foundation bearing soils and any artificial fill soils is
recommended- Removals should extend to a depth of at least 6 feet below existing
grade or 4 fcct below the bottom of the footings, whichever is deeper. The exposed
surface should be scariflM, moisture conditioned and compacted so that a
minimum of 90 percent relative compaction is attained. Once deleterious materials
are removed, the native soils may be placed as controlled compacted 61L Over -
excavation should be observed by a representative of Sladden Engineering and
compaction should be verified by testing. Over -excavation should extend at least 5
feet laterally beyond the footings -
3. Preparation of Burfaeea to Receivo Compacted Fill= Other areas to receive
compacted fill should be brought to now optimum moisture content and compacted
to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction -
4. Placement of Compacted Fill= INU materials consisting of on-aite soils or approved
imported granular soils, should be spread in thin lifts, and compacted at near
optimum moisture content to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction.
Imported material shall have an Expansion Index not exceeding 20. The contractor
shall notify the Soils Engineer at least 48 hours in advance of importing soils in
order to provide sufficient time for the evaluation of proposed import materials.
The contractor shall be. responsible for delivering material to the site, which
complies with the project apecifications. Approval by the" Soils Engineer will be
based upon material delivered to the site and not the preliminary evaluation of
import sources.

Our observations of the material encountered during our investigation indicate
that compaction will be most readily obtained by means of heavy rubber -wheeled
equipment and/or vibratory compactors. At tho time of our investigation, the
aubaor79 were found to be quite dry_ A more uniform and near optimum moisture
content should be maintained during recompaction and fill placement-
5.
lacement5. Preparation of Slab and Pavement Areas= All surfaces to receive asphalt concrete
pavement or concrete slabs -on -grade sheuld be underlain by a minimum compacted
fill thickness of 12 inches. This may be n000mplished by a combination of
QcarifCcatio:n and reeompaetion of the surface sorts and placement of the fill
material as controlled compacted fill. Compaction of the slab and pavement cress
should be to a minimum of" percent relative compaction.
8. Testing and Inspection: During grading testa and observations should be
performed by the Soils Engineer or his representative in order to verity that the
grading is being performed in accordance with the project specifications. Field
density testing shall be performed in accordance with acceptable ASTM test
methodq_ The minimum aoceptable degree of compaction should be 90 percent of
the maximum dry dermity as obtained by the ASTM D1557-91 teat method_ Where
testing indicates insufficient density, additional compactivc effort shall be applied
until retesting indicates satisfactory compaction.
GENERAL
The finding& and reeomwendation.s presented in this report are based upon an interpolation of the
soil conditions between the exploratory boring locations and extrapolation of these conditions
throughout the proposed building area. Should conditions encountered during grading appear
different than those indicated in thio report, this office should be notified.
This report is considered to be applicablo.for use„by Centex.Deatination.Propertiea.for.,the spaaific
site and project described herein. The use of this report by other parties or for other projects is not
authorized. The recommendations of this report are contingent upon monitoring of the grading
operations by a representative of Shedden Engineering. All recommendations are eonaidered to be
tentative pending our review of the grading operations and additional testing, if indicated. If others
are employed to perform any soil testing, this office should be notifM prior to such testing in order
to coordinate any required site visite by our representative and to assure indemnification of Sladden
Engineering -
Our investigation was conducted prior to the completion of plans for the project. We recommend that
a pre job conference be held on the site prior to the.initiation of site grading. The purpose of this
meeting will be to assure a complete understanding of the recommendations presented in this report
as they apply to the actual grading performed.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
For our field investigation, 9 exploratory borings were excavated on May 5. 2003, using a truck
mounted hollow stem auger rig (Mobile S53) in the approximate locations indicated on the site plan
included in this appendix- Continuous logs of the materials encountered were made on the site by a
representative of Sladden Engineering. Boring logs are included in this appendix.
Representative undisturbed samples were obtained within our borings by driving a thin-walled steel
penetration sampler (California split spooa sampler) or a Standard Penetration Test (SP7) sampler
with a 140 pound hammer dropping approximately 30 inches (ASTM D1586). The number of blows
required to drive the samplers 18 inchess was recorded in 6 inch increments and blowcounte are
indicated on the boring loge_
The California samplers are 3.0 inches in diameter, carrying brass sample ridge having inner
diameters of 2.5 inches. The .st:sndard penetration samplers are 2.0 inches in diameter with an inner
diameter of 1.5 inches. Undisturbed semples'wcre removed from the sampler and plamd in moisture
sealed containers in order to preserve the natural soil moisture content. Bulk samples were obtained
from the excavation spoils and samples were then transported to our laboratory for further
observations and testing..
Tn addition, several exploratory trenches were excavated in the vicinity of visible cracks within the
ground surface_ Photographs of the various trenches are included within this appendix '

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained in the field and returned
to our laboratory for additional observations and testing. Laboratory testing was generally
performed in two phases_ The first phase consisted of testing in order to determine the comp$,�tion of
the existing natural soil and the general engineering classifications of the soils underlying the site_
Tlus testing was performed in order to estimate the engineering characteristics of the soil and to
serve as a basis for selecting samples for the second phase of testing. The second phase ovnsisted of
soil mechanics testing. This testing including consolidation, shear strength and expansion testing
was performed in order to provide a means of developing specific design recommendations based on
the mechanical properties of the soil_
CIASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION TESTING
Unit ,Weight and Moisture Content Determinations: Each undisturbed sample was weighed and
measured in order to determine its unit weight. A small portion of each sample was then subjected
to testing in order to determine its moisture content. This was used In order to determine the dry
density of the soil in its natural condition. The results of this testing are shown on the Boring Logs.
Maximum Density -Optimum Moisture Determinations: Repreaentotive soil types were selected for
maimum density determinations_ This testing was performed in accordance with the ASTM
Standard D1557.91, Test Method A. The results of this testing are presented graphically in this
appendix. The maximum densities are compared to the field densities of the soil in order to
determine the existing relative compaction to the soil. This is. shown on the Boring Logs, and is
useful in estimating the strength and compressibility of the soil.
Classification Testing: Soil samples were selected for classification testing. This testing consists of
mechanical grain sire analyeea and Atterberg Limits determinations. These provide information for
developing clasaificationas for the soil in accordance with the unified Clasaifkation System. This
Classification system categorizes the soil into groups having similar engineering characteristics. The
results of this testing are very useful in detecting variations in the soils and in selecting samples for
further testing.
SOIL MECHANIC'S TESTING
Direct Shear Testing= Ono bulb sample was selected for Direct Shear 'Testing. This testing
measures the shear strength of the soil under various normal pressures and is used in developing
parameters for foundation design and lateral design. Testing was performed using recompacted test
specimens, which were saturated prior to testing_ Testing was performed using a attain controlled
test apparatus with normal pressures ranging from 800 to 2300 pounds per square foot_
Expansion Testing: One bulk sample was selected for Expansion testing. Expansion testing was
performed in accordance with the UBC Standard 18-2. This testing consists of remolding 4 -inch
diameter by 1 -inch thick feet specimens to a moisture content and dry denoity corresponding to
approximately 50 percent saturation. The samples aro subjected to a surcharge of 144 pounds per
square foot and- allowed to reach equilibrium. At that point the specimens are inundated with
distilled water_ The linear expansion is then measured until complete_
Consolidation Testing: Six relatively undisturbed samples were aelected for consolidation testing.
For this testing one -inch thick test specimens are subjected to vertical loads varying from 575 pef to
11520 psf applied progressively. The consolidation at each load increment was recorded prior to
placement of each eubsequcnt load. The specimens were saturated at the 575 psf or 720 psf load
increment.

1997 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE INFORMATION
The International Conference of Building Officials 1997 Uniform Building Code contains substantial
revisions and additions to the earthquake engineering section summarized in Chapter 1&. Concepts
contained in the 1997 code that will likely be relevant to construction of the proposed structure are
summarized below.
Ground shaking is expected to be the primary hazard most likely to affect the site, based upon
proximity to significant faults capable of generating large earthquakes. Major fault zones considered
to be most likely to create strong ground shaking at the site are listed below.
Based on our field observations and underatending of local geologic conditions, the soil profile type
judged applicable to thin sitc is 9a, generally deacribcd as stiff' or dense soil. The site is located
within UBC Seismic Zone n, The following table presents additional coefficients and factors relevant
to seismic mitigation for new construction upon adoption of the 1997 code.
