This area is designated Zone X on Federal Flood Insurance rate maps, which are in effect at this
time by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Flood protection measures for local drainage shall comply with California Drainage Law and
provide that stormwater flows are received onto and discharged from this property in a manner
that is reasonably compatible with predevelopment conditions.
The City of La Quinta (City) shall require mitigation measures to be incorporated into the
development to prevent flooding of the site or downstream properties. These measures shall
require 100 percent on -site retention of the incremental increase of runoff from the 100-year
storm.
The project is located within the service area of Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) for the
provision of domestic water and sanitation service. The initiation of said service to this area will
be subject to the satisfaction of terms and conditions established by CVWD and imposed from
time to time, including but not limited to fees and charges, water conservation measures, etc.
CVWD may need additional facilities to provide for the orderly expansion of its domestic water
and sanitation systems. These facilities may include pipelines, wells, reservoirs, booster
pumping stations, lift stations, treatment plants and other facilities. The developer may be
required to construct/install these facilities and then convey said facilities to CVWD along with
the land and/or easements on which these facilities will be located. The terms and conditions for
the planning, design, construction/installation, and conveyance of property interests shall be
determined by CVWD pursuant to its rules and regulations as said requirements may be revised
from time to time. These sites shall be shown on the tract map as lots and/or easements to be
deeded to CVWD for "CVWD public services" purposes.

This notice of domestic water and sanitation service availability only applies to the specific
property for which it was issued and shall expire three (3) years from date of issuance. Unless or
until all requirements for the initiation of service are met, the developer shall not be deemed to
have any vested right or other commitment to receive water and/or sanitation service. In the
event all of the terms, conditions, fees and charges are not satisfied on or before the expiration
date, this notice shall expire. Upon expiration, the developer will be required to submit a new
application and otherwise comply with any and all new or amended requirements for the
provision of service as may be determined by CVWD pursuant to its rules and regulations.
Domestic water and sanitation service remains at all times subject to changes in regulations
adopted by CVWD's Board of Directors including reductions in, or suspensions of, service.
Sewers shall be designed and constructed so as to readily facilitate connection with the potential
future installation of a regional trunk sewer. Dry or wet sewers shall be installed as determined
by CVWD. Plans and designs for installation of the facilities required by CVWD shall be
submitted to and approved by CVWD prior to issuance of a building permit.
There are existing United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) facilities not shown on the
development plans. There may be conflicts with these facilities. The City shall withhold
issuance of grading permits until CVWD has reviewed the proposed development and related
impacts to the USBR facilities and associated right-of-way and provided the City with written
confirmation that there is no interference. The USBR conflicts include but are not limited to
Irrigation Lateral 123.45, 123.45-1.3, 123.45-0.75, 123.45-0.75-0.5, 123.45-0.75-0.8, and
123.45-0.75-1.0.
The project lies within the East Whitewater River Subbasin Area of Benefit. Groundwater
production within the area of benefit is subject to a replenishment assessment in accordance with
the State Water Code.
All water wells owned or operated by an entity producing more than 25 acre-feet of water during
any year must be equipped with a water -measuring device. A CVWD Water Production
Metering Agreement is required to provide CVWD staff with the authority to regularly read and
maintain this water -measuring device.
This development lies within the study area of the 2010 Water Management Plan Update The
groundwater basin in the Coachella Valley is in a state of overdraft. Each new development
contributes incrementally to the overdraft. CVWD has a Water Management Plan in place to
reduce the overdraft to the groundwater basin. The elements of the Water Management Plan
include supplemental imported water, source substitution and water conservation. The plan lists
specific actions for reducing overdraft. The elements and actions described in the plan shall be
incorporated into the design of this development to reduce its negative impact on the Coachella
Valley groundwater basin.
