The City of La Quinta, acting as the Lead Agency, has
determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
should be prepared for the proposed amendment to the
-
Travertine Specific Plan. The EIR will be in
prepared
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts
associated with the implementation of the Travertine Specific Plan Land Use Plan, anticipated to be
developed over a 10-year period beginning in 2026. There is no actual timetable for ultimate build
out to occur, as development will be driven by market forces and demand for new residential units.
However, a 10-year development plan represents a reasonable development period.
This Notice of Preparation also solicits comments and questions from responsible agencies, trustee
agencies, federal, State and local agencies and the general public, on the scope and content of the
environmental document to be prepared to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the
proposed project. Comments received in response to this Notice of Preparation will be reviewed and
considered in determining the scope of the EIR. The time period to submit comments will begin March
9, 2020 and will end April 8, 2020. Comments should be sent at the earliest possible date.
The proposed project is the development of a master planned community located in the City of La
Quinta on the southern edge of the Coachella Valley at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The
most prominent physical features in the vicinity are Coral Mountain, located immediately north of the
project site, and Martinez Mountain and the Martinez Rock Slide area immediately to the south. The
project site is approximately 876 acres that would be developed with a mix of uses including up to
1,200 dwelling units of varying product types, a resort facility with up to 100 rooms, recreational uses
such as a golf facility featuring a clubhouse and a 12-hole golf course, a number of neighborhood
parks, and public trail system and recreational open space. In addition, 162.5 acres of the site would
remain in natural/restricted open space in an area along the southerly boundary of the site adjacent
to the Martinez Rock Slide area that has been designated as a buffer between the residential
development and the natural open space of the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
A public Scoping Meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on March 16, 2020 at La Quinta City Hall in the
Study Session Room located at 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta.
