EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The eTourism Summit, allows destination marketers an opportunity to expand their data, research, analytic, content, video, media and creative strategies. • This is the second -year staff will be attending this conference which highlights destination marketing case studies, cutting -edge new technology and services, interactive master classes, and leadership panels. FISCAL IMPACT Estimated expenses are $3,500, which includes reduced registration, travel, lodging, and meals. Staff seeks early approval to receive Early Bird pricing which saves approximately $500. Funds are available in fiscal year 2024/25 Marketing Department's Travel and Training budget (Account No. 101-3007-60320). BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS eTourism Summit embarks on its 25t" year of helping destination marketers "See Tomorrow" — it is a collaborative, fast -paced conference and is the epicenter of digital destination marketing for learning and sharing among first -timers, rising stars, and experienced marketers. The summit focuses on peer -to -peer sharing, integral to the development of innovative marketing strategies that translate to new business. Staff attended last year and was able to expand on the educational opportunities available through conferences that focus on technology, digital data, and creation of content for social media. This year staff seeks additional masterclass sessions, education on using data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for measuring digital marketing plans, and leadership sessions. 17 ALTERNATIVES Council may elect not to authorize this request; however, since this training allows staff to stay current with communication techniques associated with marketing and branding, this alternative is not recommended. Prepared by: Marcie Graham, Marketing Manager Approved by: Gilbert Villalpando, Director of Business and Housing 18 City of La Quinta CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3 CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 19, 2024 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO UTILIZE RED TERRA NURSERY TO PURCHASE UP TO $175,000 OF PLANT MATERIAL IN FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Public Works Department to utilize Red Terra Nursery to purchase up to $175,000 of plant material in fiscal year 2024/25 when they have quality plant material at the lowest or competitive price EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Per the City's Purchasing and Contracting policy (Policy), amounts paid to vendors/contractors over $50,000 must be approved by Council. Staff requests authority to utilize Red Terra Nursery (Red Terra) to purchase up to $175,000 of plant material in fiscal year (FY) 2024/25 when they have quality plant material at the lowest or competitive price. FISCAL IMPACT The $175,000 would be charged in increments, as needed, to the appropriate account(s) should Council approve the request. Funds for purchases are budgeted in the Lighting and Landscape (No. 215-7004-60431) and Parks (No. 101-3005-60431) materials/supplies accounts. 3ACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Purchasing Policy requires Council approval for purchases and/or contracts over $50,000. In FY 2024/25, the City purchased over $40,000 in plant materials from Red Terra for plant replacement in center medians, parkways, and parks. Red Terra provides quality plant material with a wide selection of plants. Their prices for plants and trees are typically lower than other nurseries, and they provide delivery at no cost. Staff will continue to compare prices and material selections to obtain the best value and quality materials to be used in landscape renovations. 19 Future landscape restoration projects may include the center median on Avenue 52 between SilverRock and Jefferson, the parkway on Washington Street between Point Happy Way and Highland Palms Drive, the perimeter landscape around SilverRock, and the perimeter landscape around La Quinta Park. This spending authority would allow maintenance projects in City medians, parkways, and parks to continue without interruptions to scheduled work. ALTERNATIVES Staff could request approval from Council for any future purchases from Red Terra on a per project basis. However, this approach would delay work schedules.

VICINITY MAP NOT TO SCALE 22 CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5 City of La Quinta CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 19, 2024 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES WITH AURIGO SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE RECOMMENDATION Approve Agreement for Contract Services with Aurigo Software Technologies, Inc. for project management software; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Staff proposes to acquire project management software to better manage and track capital improvement projects. • Aurigo Software Technologies, Inc. (Aurigo) is best qualified to provide project management software for the City and was selected through the competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process completed in September 2024. FISCAL IMPACT Total costs are detailed in the table below and include the initial term, anticipated to start December 1, 2024, and end June 30, 2026, with the option to extend the agreement for six additional years. Annual costs include approximately 5% escalator. Funds are available in fiscal year (FY) 2024/25 in the Software Licenses Account No. 502-0000- 60301, and will be budgeted according to the Agreement for future FYs. Agreement Terms Costs Initial Term Dec. 1, 2024 — June 30, 2026 = $44,992 Extended Terms - Optional July 1, 2026 — June 30, 2029 $97,378 July 1, 2029 — June 30, 2032 $109,537 Contingency Budget 10% Contingency $25,191 Grand Total: $277,098 23 A 10% contingency in the amount of $25,191, for a contract grand total of $277,098, will be added to cover any possible additional costs. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The City has never had a project management software, and staff seeks to acquire one to better manage and track capital improvement projects. In May 2024, staff published an RFP and received 11 proposals. Aurigo is the most cost- effective and best qualified firm. Proposed is an agreement with Aurigo for an initial term, beginning December 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend for two additional three-year terms. Aurigo requested revisions to the City's template agreement for contract services, which have been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office. Staff and the City Attorney's Office determined most requested revisions were non -substantive, except Aurigo's requested additions in Sections 8.10 [Limitation of Liability] and 8.11 [Exclusion of Certain Damages], and corresponding limits on indemnification obligation in Sections F.1.a and F.1.b of Exhibit F. Sections 8.10 and 8.11 are not in the City's template agreement, and the City Attorney's Office advises Staff that these types of clauses are intended to, and may actually, limit the ability for the City to recover monetary damages or receive adequate indemnification, even though the vendor is directly or indirectly responsible for those damages. Vendors that provide software or internet-based services frequently ask for such limitations on liability because the overall payments from the City to the vendor are minimal or otherwise subject to a short contract term and/or limited scope of performance. Aurigo expressly stated they would not enter into the agreement without the limitations on liability and indemnification. While Sections 8.10 and 8.11 have been modified by the City Attorney's Office from the proposed revisions initially received by Aurigo, they are not entirely deleted. Ordinarily, these types of clauses would be entirely removed if any vendor sought to include them after award of a contract based on the City's template agreement. However, based on the annual compensation (less than $40,000 per FY) and Aurigo's stance that it will not enter into a contract without the liability limit of 1.5-times total value of the agreement, staff and the City Attorney's Office have determined the requested revisions limiting Aurigo's liability and indemnification obligations are acceptable based on the limited scope of performance in which Aurigo merely provides a project management software, and seek Council's approval of the proposed agreement, included as Attachment 1. 24 ALTERNATIVES Subject to any direction from Council on the terms and conditions of the agreement, there is no proposed alternative action.

Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contracting Party covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 8.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured party shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim therefore. The injured party shall continue performing its obligations hereunder so long as the injuring party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of such notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five (45) days after service of the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the Contract Officer, or assigned designee; provided that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety, or general welfare, City may take such immediate action as City deems warranted. Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to this Article 8.0. During the period of time that Contracting Party is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to all applicable laws to the City as a California public agency, the City will use best efforts to release any withheld monies payable to Contracting Party as soon as practicable following the adjudication of actual damages in connection with a finding of default consistent with this Section 8, or following a cure of such default or non - default finding. 8.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of a non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. City's consent or approval of any act by Contracting Party requiring City's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Contracting Party.

Contracting Party and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contracting Party: 1. Contracting Party agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party's employees, or agents, from waiving the Exhibit E 48 Page 3 of 6 right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contracting Party shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent. 7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contracting Party's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contracting Party or deducted from sums due Contracting Party, at City option. 8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contracting Party or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City. 9. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Contracting Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contracting Party. Contracting Party agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contracting Party agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 10. Contracting Party agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the Exhibit E 49 Page 4 of 6 exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party's existing coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contracting Party, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contracting Party ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. 12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 13. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contracting Party of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 14. Contracting Party will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. 15. Contracting Party shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contracting Party's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and an additional insured endorsement is required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages. 16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents. 17. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a Exhibit E 50 Page 5 of 6 given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive. 18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 19. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Exhibit. 20. Contracting Party agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contracting Party for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. 21. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contracting Party arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

(2)CIP Construction: Pavement rehabilitation on Dune Palms Rd.; Pavement Management Plan slurry seal; landscape renovations. Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City's cash flow reserve. Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings. Prepared by: Rosemary Hallick, Principal Management Analyst Approved by: Claudia Martinez, Finance Director Attachment: 1.

Solar experience includes: obtaining my certificate "fundamentals training" and "battery training" from Solar Edge Co. for learning how to install solar (inverters, panels, batteries etc...) and manage systems. With that, I'm familiar with AC/DC currents, Panel Box Bus Bars, Breakers, how things work, energy usage unit measurements (Amperage, kW). I'm also aware of the need to secure energy for our future as it is impacting the valley now w/fire risk, reliability, & may stall development as the current contract term expires by 2033. Need to consider in 30 years a Net -Zero Goal & renewables. We are at a cross roads as it takes takes time to quantify future needs, figure a path forward ((e.g. partnership agreements JPA)), design, acquire equipment & build out the infrastructure to meet the future needs of our community. Updating the grid infrastructure will likely take 5 to 10 years involving: Plan/Feasibility Study, Community Input, Funding/Budgeting, Regulatory Approvals/Permits, Design/Engineering, Construction/Installation, Testing/Commissioning).

Solution: It's best to set up JPA with IID but that requires: party agreements, community input, legal agreements, financing for funding. WHAT SPECIFIC ATTITUDES, SKILLS AND/OR EXPERTISE DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE WORK OF THE BOARD, COMMISSION, OR COMMITTEE? My business background and years spent working with other corporations, regulators, attorneys, finding solutions to common issues, and working cross -functionally with many teams (legal, compliance, actuarial, sales/marketing, auditors) with the goal of making timely decisions to meet critical project deadlines.

During commission meetings I reviewed and voted on all projects, expenditures and programs brought before the ECAC prior to review of the full IID Board of Directors, thus I was fully immersed in the operations of the ECAC and my responsibility representing the citizens of La Quinta. What specific issues or problems face the Board/Commission, and do you have any suggestions to address those issues or problems? 1.) We are in an energy crisis in America and specifically here in southern California. The primary issues to be addressed will be resolving the long-term increasing energy needs as we have greater adoption of EV vehicles and energy consuming technology, hotter conditions in the valley requiring more AC usage, increasing population, large events, venues and general business growth. 2.) Renewing or replacing the current energy contract. 3.) Working with IID on energy production, acquisition, system equipment upgrades, and infrastructure. 4.) Maintaining low energy rates to our consumers. 5.) Evaluating and implementing energy sources and future energy production and purchase agreements. 6.) Supporting the community with IID provided programs, incentives, and rebates. 7.) Explore long term adoptable solar programs for both residential and industrial 8.) For the IID Board, supporting and maintaining the historic water rights that have been secured for nearly one hundred years is paramount.

Having worked for three years with members of the commission, the La Quinta City Council, and Board of Directors of the IID, 1 have gained valuable insight into the workings of the respective stakeholders.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On August 2, 2022, Council reviewed the status of the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI), and directed staff to: ✓ Prepare a Fiscal Impact Analysis to consider the financial costs and revenues associated with the annexation of the existing SOI; and ✓ Consider potential additional lands for an extension of the SOI. • On April 4, 2023, Council reviewed the Fiscal Impact Analysis. • On March 19, 2024, Council reviewed information regarding fiscal considerations of annexation, an assessment of current infrastructure facilities, and an overview of the annexation process, and directed to staff to continue the study of the SOI including an evaluation of the City and County's zoning regulations for the SOI area. FISCAL IMPACT There are no fiscal impacts associated with this informational report. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Existing Southern Sphere of Influence The City's Southern SOI consists of 7,665± acres generally located east of Monroe, south of Avenue 52, north of Avenue 60, and west of Van Buren and Harrison Streets. The majority of the SOI is designated for low density residential development, with an Agricultural/Equestrian overlay, and some areas designated for commercial development. 103 Of the 7,665± acres in the SOI, only about 1,407 acres are developed, 5,429 acres are in agriculture, and 828 acres are vacant desert lands. Much of the developed acreage is under-utilized, consisting of nurseries and single-family homes on large lots. As a follow-up to the April 4, 2023, and March 19, 2024, Study Sessions, staff has conducted additional research into annexation of the SOL Specifically, this report covers results of a community survey and a comparison of City of La Quinta and Riverside County Zoning Regulations. On May 29, 2024, City staff provided a presentation to the Vista Santa Rosa Community Council summarizing the status of the City's exploration of annexation and announced the community survey. In preparation for this Study Session, additional public outreach was conducted, in addition to the community survey discussed below. Public outreach consisted of mailing an announcement post card of the Study Session meeting to property owners, tribal governments, and registered voters within the SOI boundaries; an a -email to Home Owner's Associations (HOAs) within La Quinta along the southern boundary; and an announcement at the Vista Santa Rosa Community Council at their last meetings. Vista Santa Rosa Community Shy On July 27, 2024, City staff mailed community surveys (one each in English and Spanish) to all property owners and registered voters within the SOI boundaries totaling 1,507 individuals. In addition to the mailed surveys, an online version of the survey was available. Of the 1,507 mailed surveys, 169 were returned resulting in a response rate of 11.2%. An additional 23 survey responses were provided using the online survey totaling 192 survey responses. The survey consisted of 35 questions, including multiple-choice questions and open- ended questions that invited respondents to share their thoughts. Questions focused on asking if there is support for annexation of the area into the City as well as topics including Public Safety and Code Compliance, New Businesses, Future Development, Housing, Recreation, and Public Utilities. The survey found that just about half of the respondents (49.45%) do not support annexation into the City. Of the remaining half, 41.76% expressed support of annexation while 8.79% are neutral on the annexation question. Regarding new housing, the majority favor providing market -rate single family housing options (58.52%) and oppose Short Term Vacation Rentals (57.63%). Half of the respondents do not want to see additional rental housing provided in Vista Santa Rosa. Additionally, the survey found the respondents agree that emergency response time is important (75.56%), rated Code Compliance enforcement as important (48.86%), support regular maintenance of streets (66.29%), and support the preservation of agricultural 104 lands (64.29%). The support for expansion of equestrian uses was 48.62% and the support for small event centers/ranchos was 43.75%. Some highlights of the comments from the survey include concerns that becoming part of La Quinta means higher taxes and more regulations. Other comments expressed that becoming part of La Quinta will bring more value to property, will include a higher level of services (public safety) and will improve the development of the area, and a desire to maintain the rancho, agricultural and equestrian lifestyle. The survey responses and all comments are provided as Attachment 1. City Sphere Residential Zoning Standards When the City updated its General Plan and Zoning Maps, those updates included the SOL At that time, the City selected its Low Density Residential Zone for the majority of the area, allowing up to 4 units per acre. In addition, the updates added the Agricultural/Equestrian Overlay to the Zoning Ordinance, and applied the Overlay to all the Low Density Residential land. This Overlay was specifically designed to reflect the County's permitted uses and development standards. Most significantly, the Overlay includes more agricultural and animal -keeping uses than the City's Low Density Residential zone, and also includes specific "Right to Farm" policies to preserve those uses as long as owners wish them to continue. The City's zoning map is included as Attachment 2. County Residential Zones There are a number of residential zones within the SOI under the County's standards, as shown on the map (Attachment 3). However, the zones most prevalent is the A-1 (Light Agricultural) zone, but there are also R-1 (Single -Family Residential) and W-2 (Controlled Development) areas in the SOI. The uses permitted are broader than those in the City's Zoning Ordinance, but the development standards are not substantially different. For the Study Session, staff has prepared a presentation which compares the uses permitted under both City and County zoning, as well as development standards (Attachment 4). This analysis will be limited to residential standards, in order to address the residents' stated concerns about uses that they are permitted under the County. City -Sponsored v. Owner -Sponsored Annexation The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), has specific processes for annexations which are very similar, regardless of whether the annexation is proposed by the City or by individual land owners or developers, although some significant differences do occur when it comes to the conclusion of the annexation effort (Attachment 5). Staff will make a presentation of these requirements, and the differences between the two at the Study Session. 105 NEXT STEPS The purpose of this Study Session is to review the results of the survey of Vista Santa Rosa community members, land uses and zoning of La Quinta and the County, and annexation processes. The Study Session provides an opportunity for discussion and comments, to understand the implications of annexation, and to seek direction from Council on next steps or other areas of study for potential future study sessions.

I think it is important to remember Vista Santa Rosa is a rural area and not a City. Sometimes it is okay for places to stay the same Would like just single family homes 2024 Vista Santa Rosa Community Survey General Comments - Housing/Outdoor Recreation/Utilities General Comments - Outdoor Recreation Hell NOH! Vista Santa Rosa is perfect as it is. Leave it that way please! I do not support this! None of these things are needed in Vista Sant Rosa We need parks for children Need walking paths and golf cart paths Preserve the desert wildlike There is plenty of equestrian property already in the area Recreational areas for children Rec areas for children. We currently have to drive to a near by city to take our children to a park. Skate Park Dance Hall/Studio Yoga (Rec Center) Teen Center Senior Center Most ranches in VSR that have horses walk the horses along public roads or on their own property. Most people in this area don't have the same facilities as other desert citie and would benefit from it. I have lived here my entire life, and I have never heard anyone from Vista Santa Rosa ask or mention anything from above is what we need. No. We like being a rural communitythat has stop signs and speed bumps. Pools/Parks/Dog parks We hike Lake Cahuilla General Comments - Utilities/Infrastrcucture Bring Thermal to civilization Stay away from us We do not get the street clean by the city with the sweep truck All of these above services would be a great improvement to have in area Current area is not covered for green waste I like it the waywe are now. Keep VSR rural Would like to keep rural atmosphere County doing good job with roads Bike lanes might be useful during the races that happen here. If VSR is annexed I hope La Quinta builds something everyone talks about in a positive way. It only costs a little more to do it right. I would like to see lots of beautiful landscaping. All these services are important, however, I feel that these types of services will be taken care of 1st for the residents of La Quinta, then Vista Santa Rosa. Been in the area 34 years and have sufficient power, own well, and telephone lines. Hardly any good reception Develop more houses there is market for over 1 million dollars homes too. Internet is slow!

No Polancos Skate Park Please no giant corporations for short term rentals or increasing space rent (mobile) or slumlords. Government run housing ok, mobile home coops ok, section 8 ok, low Leave Vista Santa Rosa Alone. We are doing fine, without income ok, if regulated. Its hot here why do we want more people! other greedy cities wanting to destroy our lifestyle No Desert lands needs to remain for wildlife. Please, no bicycle lanes. Our streets are already tiny. Nothing. A nice park similar to Silver rock would be nice Public Sewer is needed The short term vacation rentals would become a big problem, real quick - increase in noise and traffic, for example.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On a recurring basis, staff reviews existing user fees and rates as a basis for recovering allowable costs of certain City services and proposes updates to better align fees to the City's current costs of providing service. • The City retained ClearSource Financial Consulting (ClearSource) to conduct a comprehensive fee analysis of the Short -Term Vacation Rental (STVR) program permit fees to accurately capture the processing refinements and streamlining, and software enhancements implemented in managing and overseeing the program since its transition to the Clerk's Office in 2021. • The proposed Resolution, if adopted, will update the STVR program user and regulatory fees, which will go into effect upon adoption, on November 19, 2024, and will update sections of the City's current Master Fee Schedule (MFS). The updated fees will be implemented effective January 1, 2025. FISCAL IMPACT Based on historical revenues and permit volume, the proposed STVR permit fees may generate approximately an additional $65,000 in annual revenue. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Staff conducts on -going reviews of user and regulatory fees. Periodically, fee adjustments are made to improve the correlation between the City's cost of providing services and the fees imposed to recover those costs. In 2021, the management and oversight of the STVR program was transferred from the Design and Development Department to the Clerk's Office. Since then, a variety of software and reporting enhancements and customizations were implemented to ensure 133 robust, detailed, and accurate tracking and reporting of STVR metrics that previously were either not available or required manual tracking. Permit processing refinements and automations were also deployed to streamline annual permit renewals. These improvements have allowed staff to shift efforts onto conducting periodic transient occupancy tax reporting audits and proactive monitoring of STVR advertisements that have improved the overall STVR program compliance. To accurately capture staff's current time and efforts expended to manage the STVR program based on the changes noted above, the City retained ClearSource to conduct a comprehensive analysis focused on the STVR program permit fees, included as Attachment 1. Further, a new "multi -unit lock -off" STVR permit subtype is being added to properly capture residential dwellings, located within certain residential projects in exempt areas in La Quinta (Legacy Villas and La Quinta Resort Spa Villas), specifically designed and constructed to allow sections of such dwellings to be locked -off and separated into individual stand-alone units and rented independently. For historical background, the table below depicts the progression of the City's STVR permit fees and types since 2016 to present, and it includes the proposed fees for 2025: Current Proposed Permit Description 012- 016- 0 Fees Fees 2021 2024 • Applied A••lie 2025 1 Homeshare STVR Permit Homeshare STVR Permit - Less than 5 Bedrooms n/a n/a n/a $250 $261 $273 $300 Homeshare STVR Permit - 5 Bedrooms or More n/a n/a n/a $500 $523 $545 $550 2 Primary Residence Short -Term Vacation Permit Primary Residence STVR Permit - Less than 5 Bedrooms n/a n/a n/a $750 $784 $818 $750 Primary Residence STVR Permit - 5 Bedrooms or More n/a n/a n/a $1,250 $1,307 $1,363 $1,250 Primary Residence STVR Permit - Multi -Unit Lock -Off 2025 n/a n/a n/a n/a - new n/a - new n/a - new $750 3 General Short -Term Vacation Rental Permit General STVR Permit - Less than 5 Bedrooms $25 $100 $200 $1,000 $1,046 51,090 $1,000 General STVR Permit - 5 Bedrooms or More n/a n/a n/a $1,250 $1,307 S1,363 $1,250 General STVR Permit - Mufti -Unit Lock -Off 2025 n/a n/a n/a n/a - new n/a - new n: a - new $1,000 4 General Short -Term Vacation Rental Permit [subject to annual mitigation fees (STAMF)] General STVR Permit - Less than 5 Bedrooms (STAMF) n/a n/a n/a $250 $261 $273 S00 General STVR Permit - 5 Bedrooms or More n a n a n/a $500 $523 $545 S550 General STVR Permit - Multi -Unit Lock -Off 2025 (STANIF) n/a n/a n/a n/a - new nia - new n/a - new S550 The proposed fees are based on permit type and number of bedrooms. The fee scale corresponds with the varying levels of effort required to permit and regulate the different types of STVRs. Under the proposed fee structure, the cost recovery is comparable to when the various permit types and updated fees were introduced in 2021; and the City will continue to recover less than the City's full cost of permitting and regulation. 134 The table below summarizes the current and proposed cost recovery percentages for each STVR permit subtype based on the updated 2024 cost of service analysis, which includes the complete study (Attachment 1).

Other than the updates and additions stated above, there are no changes proposed to the City's MFS user and regulatory fees. The updated fees will go into effect upon adoption, on November 19, 2024, and will be implemented effective January 1, 2025. AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW Notice regarding the proposed fee updates was provided in accordance with Government Code Sections 66016 and 6062(a). Public Hearing notices were published in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 8 and 15, 2024. Interested stakeholders, the Building Industry Association of Southern California — Riverside County Chapter (BIA), Desert Valleys Builder Association (DVBA), and the Southern California Gas Company (SC Gas) received notice of these recommendations on November 4, 2024. On November 5, 2024, the DVBA issued a response notifying the City that they have no comments on the proposed fees as they are not directly pertinent to homebuilding/construction industries. As of November 14, 2024, no comments have been received from the BIA or SC Gas. ALTERNATIVES Council may elect to adjust fees by a different amount than recommended by staff. Council may elect not to adjust the proposed fees. Prepared by: Monika Radeva, City Clerk Approved by: Jon McMillen, City Manager Attachment: 1.

Adopt a resolution adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Jefferson Square project (EA 2022-0012). B. Adopt a resolution approving Specific Plan 2022-0004 (SP 2002-062, Amendment 3), Tentative Tract Map 2022-0003 (TTM 38604), and Site Development Permit 2022-0015. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The Jefferson Square Specific Plan was originally approved in 2004 for the entire 10± acre site and has been amended several times to change the types of commercial anchors that could be built on the site. • The applicant is requesting a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA), Tentative Tract Map (TTM), and Site Development Permit (SDP). The SPA would allow either commercial or multi -family residential development within the southern 5± acres of the site (Attachment 1). The TTM subdivides the southern portion of the site into three lots, and the SDP activates the SPA and proposes 89 multi -family units located on the southern half of the Jefferson Square Shopping Center. There are 71 units in a three-story building and a total of 18 units in 5 two and three story townhouse buildings to include carport spaces throughout and tuck under parking spaces within the townhouse buildings. • The proposal activates the Mixed Use Overlay, which applies to this and all other commercially zoned properties in the City. 149 FISCAL IMPACT The proposed project will generate development impact fees (DIF) and property tax to offset costs of providing services. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Jefferson Square Specific Plan area encompasses a 10.3-acre commercial shopping center, of which 5.2 acres are developed and 5.1 acres are vacant (Attachment 3). The northern portion of the shopping center, developed in 2009, includes 39,000 square feet of commercial space — a pharmacy, a coffee shop, and several "in line" stores — distributed around a parking field (176 spaces) and drive aisles. The southern portion currently includes a parking field and drive aisles, as well as vacant pads where buildings were proposed as part of the original shopping center development. In addition, drainage improvements have been completed for the entire site, including existing retention basins and an underground drainage system. At various times since the original 2004 approval, commercial development has been proposed on the southern half. None has come to fruition, leading to the current proposal. The current General Plan allows for the creation of a Mixed Use Overlay in the City's Zoning Ordinance. That Overlay was developed and included in a Zoning Ordinance Amendment after the adoption of the General Plan in 2012. It allows all commercially zoned property in the City to develop under this Overlay, either as vertical or horizontal Mixed Use. If residential projects are proposed, they can have a density of up to 24 units per acre and are to develop to the standards of the High Density Residential zone. Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) The applicant proposes to amend the current Specific Plan to allow either commercial development or multi -family residential units in the south half of the site. As shown in Tables 4 and 5 of the Specific Plan (Exhibit A of the project Resolution), the SPA would allow up to 95 residential units or 47,500 square feet of commercial space in this area. The Specific Plan is being amended to: 1. Divide the 10 acres into two planning areas (PA): PA 1 consists of the northerly 5 acres, and PA 2 covers the southerly 5 acres. 2. Allow development of commercial retail buildings in PA 2 consistent with the commercial standards of PA 1. 3. Allow development of up to 95 multi -family residential units in PA 2. 4. Establish residential development standards in PA 2 that differ from the City's High Density Residential standards. 150 The SPA would not modify any of the commercial development standards currently in the Specific Plan. However, the SPA includes a full range of residential development standards, including setbacks, height, and open space requirements, which are not in the current Specific Plan. SPA Standards Varvina from Base Zone Building Height The SPA proposes to exceed the height allowed in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zone, consistent with the Mixed Use Overlay, which allows that building height to be 25% more for mixed use projects. In this case, the SPA allows for residential building heights of 43.75 feet (25% more than the 35 feet allowed in CN). The SPA also proposes to allow 28 feet in height within 150 feet of Jefferson Street, which as an Image Corridor, has a limit of 22 feet in height within that 150-foot area. Due to concerns raised by residents of the Monticello project to the south, the SPA limits building height to 28 feet/2 stories within 75 feet of the southern property line. Unit Size The SPA also proposes to reduce the minimum size of one -bedroom apartments from 750 square feet to 600 square feet. All other unit sizes (two- and three -bedroom apartments and townhomes) exceed the minimum unit size requirement for the High Density Residential zone. Parking Requirements Finally, the SPA reduces the parking requirements from the City's standards as follows: • One Bedroom: 1 covered space plus 0.5 guest space per unit from 2 covered spaces plus 0.5 guest space. • Three Bedroom: 2 covered spaces plus 0.5 guest space per unit from 3 covered spaces plus 0.5 guest space. The standard for studios (1.5 parking spaces per unit) and Two Bedroom Units (2.5 parking spaces per unit) is the same as the Zoning Ordinance standard. The reduction in parking standards is not unreasonable, given the site's location and the general reduction in parking requirements throughout Southern California and in other Coachella Valley cities, including Indio, Coachella, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage. Please also see the discussion of parking under the SDP section below. Design Guidelines As with the standards, the SPA maintains the commercial guidelines as they are but adds residential guidelines. In order to encourage cohesion in the project as a whole, the guidelines focus on a Spanish or Mediterranean style of architecture for the residential units. 151 Conclusion The Specific Plan contains all of the sections and items required by State law and our Municipal Code and provides an opportunity for the site to develop either under its base zone (CN) or the Mixed Use Overlay. The variations in development standards are allowed in a Specific Plan and can be approved if found acceptable by the City Council. Tentative Tract Map (TTM) The TTM is proposed for the 5.1 acres in PA 2 in order to subdivide the property for condominium purposes (Sheet C4.10, Attachment 3). It subdivides only PA 2 into three lots: one corresponding to the large pad at the southwest corner of the property and its surrounding parking (Lot 1, 2.752 acres); one corresponding to the area in the northeastern half of PA 2 (Lot 2, 1.33 acres); and one for the southeastern portion of PA 2 (Lot 3, 1.03 acres). The TTM conforms to the SPA and is consistent with the Municipal Code. Site Development Permit (SDP) The SDP implements the changes made through the SPA at a slightly lower density than that allowed in that document. The architecture of the apartments and townhomes is a modern Spanish style intended to complement the existing commercial center architecture. The apartments will be built in line with the existing shops on the western side of the site, and the ground floor will mimic the architecture of the storefronts. The apartments and existing stores will be connected by a plaza and continuous sidewalk to provide continuity within the project. A total of 89 units would be constructed at a density of 17.5 units per acre in the following configuration: • Lot 1/Building 1: 71 apartments in a three-story building with a central courtyard (42 1-bedroom and 29 2-bedroom) and 71 carport parking spaces on the north, south, and west sides. All units include a small patio or balcony. The apartments also include a central courtyard with a community pool, gym, community room, coworking room, and ancillary facilities along the east fagade. • Lot 2/Buildings 2 and 3: 10 three-story, three -bedroom townhouse units with 2 "tuck under" garage spaces each. Each unit also includes a patio and balconies on the second and third floors. This area also includes 57 open parking spaces. • Lot 3/Buildings 4 through 6: 8 two- and three-story, three -bedroom townhouse units with 2 "tuck under" garage spaces each. Each unit also includes a patio and balconies. 152 Building Height As shown on Sheet A2.11 in Attachment 3, Building 1 is proposed to be 35 feet to the top of the parapet, with tower elements extending from 41 feet to 43 feet 9 inches. This building is located 135 feet north of the south property line and the existing single-family homes to the south (Monticello). Buildings 2 and 3 are proposed to extend to 38 feet in height and will be perpendicular to the southern property line, limiting building mass exposure to the single-family homes to the south (Sheets A2.21 and A2.22, Attachment 3). Building 4 is two stories on each end and three stories in the middle. The two-story elements extend to 28 feet in height, while the three-story component in the center is 38 feet (Sheet A2.31, Attachment 3). The building is located about 97 feet from the south property line. Buildings 5 and 6, the buildings closest to the southern property line, will be 28 feet in height (Sheets A2.31 and A2.32, Attachment 3) and set back 41 feet from the southern property line. The Specific Plan limits building heights to 28 feet within 75 feet of the southern property line. Access and Parking The project would be accessed from existing driveways on Fred Waring and Jefferson Street, with the primary entrance at the southern end of the site. The apartment building would be accessed on existing driveways within the project. The townhomes are proposed to be "alley -loaded," providing access to the garages via a central driveway. For pedestrian access, the project includes a continuous sidewalk along the east side of the apartment building, connecting to the shops to the north, and crosswalks and sidewalks through the townhouses to provide access for those residents. The Planning Commission added a condition that requires stamped concrete enhancements to these crosswalks to enhance their visibility. Altogether, the project proposes 186 parking spaces. There are 136 parking spaces required for the apartments, 93 of which are located around the apartment building, while the balance would be provided north and east of Buildings 2 and 3. Based on the unit mix, 181 spaces are required per the Specific Plan standards. The parking being provided generally exists in the parking lots that are currently on -site. It must be noted, however, that the existing shopping center does not have cross -lot parking sharing in place and that residential development, should it occur, would be required to provide all of its parking within PA 2. Landscape Design The landscape and lighting plans (pp 34-40, Attachment 3) propose a desert landscape palette that includes Date and Mexican Fan Palms at the primary entry and along the frontage of the apartments and Mesquite, Acacia, and Desert Willow for shade canopy. 153 The project will be entirely landscaped, including the landscaping of the driveways and retention basin, as well as the common open space along the southern boundary. The landscape plan also includes a vertical screen, along the southern boundary for the length of Buildings 5 and 6, of 36-inch box Bottlebrush, Indian Laurel, and Carolina Laurel Cherry to screen the project from the single-family homes immediately to the south. The Planning Commission added a condition that this screen be extended the entire width of the project to its southwest corner. C'nnrh minn The SDP would be consistent with the Specific Plan, as amended, and has been designed to its standards. The use is allowed in the Mixed Use Overlay, and the project density is less than the maximum allowed in the Overlay. AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW Planninq Commission Review The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project on October 8, 2024. The Commission discussed several issues, including the screening of the project from the single-family homes to the south, internal circulation, and pedestrian safety. As a result of this discussion, the Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council, with the addition of two conditions of approval: one extending the tree screening to the southwest corner of the site and one adding pedestrian crosswalks at key locations to improve residents' safety. Public Agency Review All written comments received are on file and available for review with the Design and Development Department. All applicable comments have been adequately addressed and/or incorporated in the recommended COAs. Public Hearing Notice This public hearing for this Project was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on October 30, 2024, and distributed to properties within 500 feet of the Site on November 7, 2024. At the time of publication, Staff had received no comments on the project. Tribal Consultation In accordance with SB18 and AB52, Tribal Consultation was conducted with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI), who were the only tribe to request consultation. Mitigation measures in the MND address ACBCI's concerns regarding the site. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the proposed project. The IS found that although the project would have significant impacts relating to cultural resources, geology, and noise, those impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level (Exhibit B of the EA Resolution, Mitigation Monitoring, and Reporting Program). An MND is proposed for approval by the City Council. 154 The IS/MND was circulated for a 20-day public review between May 9 and May 29, 2024. The City received 10 comment letters on the IS from a range of public agencies. The City responded to these comments and found that none identified any unaddressed impacts or conditions and that no changes to the IS were required.

General Plan Designation: General Commercial (CG) Zoning Designation: Neighborhood Commercial (CN) 159 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project applicant is proposing a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan (SP 2002-062) area located on the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive in La Quinta, California. Additionally, the project applicant is proposing a Site Development Permit (SDP) and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for the southern portion of the Specific Plan area. The Jefferson Square Specific Plan and Amendments (SPA No. 1 and SPA No. 2) were approved in 2004, 2005, and 2008, respectively (see Project History below). Currently, the northern portion of the site is developed with commercial retail uses. SPA No. 2 allows development of commercial retail uses throughout the Jefferson Square Specific Plan (SP) area. The project applicant is proposing SPA No. 3 to allow commercial retail (Option 1) or mixed -use development (Option 2) within the Specific Plan area. SPA No. 3 divides the Specific Plan area into two Planning Areas (PA1 and PA2). PA1 is the northern portion of the site that is currently developed with commercial retail, and PA2 is the southern portion of the site that is currently undeveloped. Option 1 would allow PA1 and PA2 to remain commercial retail as analyzed in SPA No. 2, and Option 2 would allow the development of up to 95 residential units within PA2. Implementation of Option 2 (residential development in PA2) is the focus of this CEQA analysis, since Option 1 was previously analyzed as part of SPA No. 2. Concurrently, the project applicant seeks approval of a Site Development Permit (SDP) 2022-0015 and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 38604. SDP 22-0015 proposes an 89-unit multifamily project in PA2, and TTM No. 38604 proposes to subdivide the PA2 site into three lots. The SDP and TTM approvals are being processed concurrently with SPA No. 3. Planning Areas As previously stated, SPA No. 3 (SPA 2002-062 Amendment 3) will divide the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area into two distinct areas, indicated as PA1 and PA2. Planning Area 1 — As of 2024, PA1 is built out with approximately 39,334 square feet of building area. PA1 shall continue to serve as a neighborhood commercial center which includes a CVS Pharmacy, Dutch Bros Coffee, and an assortment of other retail and service -oriented shops. PA1 has been built out and any additional development in PA1 is out of the scope of this document. Should additional development be proposed in PA1, it would require a subsequent SPA, SDP and/or Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Planning Area 2 — PA2 consists of two legal parcels occupying the southern portion of the Specific Plan area. Parcel 6 (APN 604-521-013) occupies 4.09 acres of the site, while Parcel 7 (APN 604-521-014) occupies 1.01 acres, totaling 5.1 acres (Refer to Table 1 below). Two development options are proposed within PA2. Option 1 would allow the development of commercial land uses as approved in SPA No. 2 and analyzed under SPA 2002-062 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Since Option 1 proposes no changes to the previously approved commercial retail plan, additional environmental analysis for a commercial retail project is not required. Option 2 allows up to 95 multi -family residential units (see Section III.A of SPA No. 3) and is the subject of this document's analysis. The two development options allow flexibility within the Specific Plan area to account for varying market conditions. PA1 is developed with commercial retail buildings, associated parking, paved drive aisles, and landscaping on approximately 5.17 acres. PA2 is currently vacant, but includes horizontal improvements such as paved drive aisles and parking spaces, curb and gutter improvements, post -mounted lighting, landscaping, and two undeveloped pads. In addition to SPA No. 3 and this environmental document, the project applicant is processing a Site Development Permit as well as a Tentative Tract Map for PA2. The SDP provides a project -specific site plan, architectural elevations, and landscape plans for an 89-unit multifamily residential development within PA2. The Tentative Tract Map subdivides PA2 into 3 parcels. Access to the Jefferson Square SP area occurs from two locations along Fred Waring Drive, and two locations along Jefferson Street. Access to the proposed project will occur from the existing entrances. 160 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 3 Project History The Jefferson Square Specific Plan (SP 2002-062) was approved in January 2004 for commercial use, consisting of a 113,173 square -foot shopping center including a supermarket, drugstore with drive -through, and a gasoline service station within seven additional building areas. In November 2005, Amendment No. 1 was approved and reduced the commercial retail area to 100,731 square feet. In May 2008, Amendment No. 2 further reduced the commercial retail area to 90,441 square feet and proposed a Fresh and Easy market; a CVS drug store with drive -through; an OSH hardware store; a bank with drive -through; and smaller retail or restaurant uses. Construction of the Specific Plan area began in 2008. By 2009, four retail buildings were constructed in the northern portion of the site (PA1), totaling approximately 38,000 square feet. Additional construction included the development of three certified pads, parking lots, driveways, stormwater management system, utility infrastructure, landscape improvements, and public sidewalks and parkways throughout the entire Specific Plan area (see Exhibit 2, Project Aerial). In 2013, Parcel Map No. 36241 was approved and recorded, whereby the Specific Plan area was subdivided into seven legal parcels. Street and landscape dedications were included with Parcel Map No. 36241 which reduced the Specific Plan area from 10.79 to 10.27 acres. The parcels, acreages, building area, and land use are indicated in the table below.

The drive - through coffee use has since been constructed and is operational. This facility is in PA1, adding 852 square feet to PA1, which totals approximately 39,334 square feet of building area. Parcels 6 and 7 which comprise PA2 remain undeveloped and vacant. Project Land Use and Zoning The entire Jefferson Square SP area, including the PA2, is currently designated as General Commercial in the City's General Plan Land Use Map, which allows a full range of commercial uses, ranging from supermarkets and drugstores in a neighborhood shopping center, to major national retailers in large buildings. General Commercial uses also include professional offices, service businesses, restaurants, hotels or motels, research and development and warehousing or similar low impact quasi -industrial uses. The current zoning designation for the proposed project site is Neighborhood Commercial (CN). CN zones are intended to provide for the development and regulation of small-scale commercial areas located at the intersections of arterial highways. The CN district is intended to provide for food, drugs, sundries, and personal services to meet the daily needs of a neighborhood area. Additionally, the site includes a Mixed -Use (MU) Overlay, which is implemented to facilitate the development of mixed -use projects that include both multifamily residential and 161 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 4 commercial components in a cohesively designed and constructed manner. MU overlay districts and the provision of Section 9.140.090 of the La Quinta Municipal Code apply to all commercial zones, including the project site. The City's Mixed -Use Overlay District's density standards allows 12 to 24 dwelling units per acre. Conceptual Site Plans As previously discussed, SPA No. 3 allows for either a commercial retail development plan (Option 1), or a mixed - use development plan (Option 2). In the mixed -use development plan, PA would continue to serve as a commercial retail center, while PA2 could be developed with up to 95 multifamily units (i.e., apartments, twnhomes, condominiums, or a combination thereof). The table below shows how 95 residential units could be allocated within PA2.

Pedestrian walkways would connect PA1 and PA2 to encourage walkability. PA2 residents would have access to common area recreational facilities such as a pool, spa, gym, recreational room, co -office space, outdoor plaza, tot -lot, community garden and walking trail. A resident park access point could occur at the northwest corner of PA2, to allow access to Monticello Park. If the commercial retail development plan is chosen instead of the mixed -use development plan, then PA2 would develop 42,500 square feet of commercial retail on Parcel 6, and 5,000 square feet of commercial retail on Parcel 7, as summarized in the table below.

The SDP includes a site plan, architectural elevations, and landscape plans. The SDP proposes the development of 89 residential dwelling units consisting of six buildings within PA2. Building 1 is proposed on the large vacant pad located on Parcel 6 as a three-story, slab -on -grade, wrap -around building with one- and two - bedroom units. Buildings 2 and 3 would be located east of Building 1 and include two rows of three-story, three - bedroom twnhomes. Buildings 4, 5, and 6 would occur on the vacant pad located on the southeast corner of the project consisting of two- and three-story, three -bedroom units. The proposed building areas are provided in the tables below. 162 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 5 Table 3 SDP Proposed Building Area Unit Mix a Quantity Area (SF) SF Total B 1 1 Bed 1 Bath 24 697 16,728 B2 1 Bed 1 Bath 18 752 13,536 C1 2 Bed 2 Bath 21 1,063 22,323 C2 2 Bed 2 Bath 6 1,233 7,398 C3 2 Bed 2 Bath 2 1,173 2,346 DI 3 Bed 3.5 Bath 3-Story Townhouse 4 2,028 8,112 D2 3 Bed 3.5 Bath 3-Story Townhouse 4 2,074 8,296 D3 3 Bed 3 Bath 3-Story Townhouse 2 2,114 4,228 D4 3 Bed 3.5 Bath 3-Story Townhouse 2 1,907 3,814 D5 3 Bed 3.5 Bath 2-Story Townhouse 6 1,734 10,404 Total -- 89 1,172 97,185 Common Areas* -- -- -- 5,914 Utility Functions* -- -- -- 17,539 Townhome Garage* Private Garage 18 varies 7,826 Total I 1 1 128,464 *Common areas/maintenance include: main lobby, rear lobby, mailroom, office, coworking areas, community room, gym, bike parking.

Tentative Tract Map A Tentative Tract Map (TTM No. 38604) will subdivide the PA2 property into three smaller parcels. The TTM also illustrates the design and improvements of the proposed subdivision and the existing conditions throughout. The existing conditions illustrated in TTM No. 38604 include the existing developed parcels (commercial buildings), drive access points, retention basins, parking spaces, and sidewalks throughout the Jefferson Square Specific Plan. The proposed conditions illustrated in the TTM include the building locations, lot lines, parking spaces, and landscaping. Utilities and Services Domestic water services are extended to the site from an existing 18-inch water line at the northwest corner of the site along Fred Waring Drive, and an existing 12-inch water line near the southeast corner of the site along Jefferson Street. Sewer services are extended from an existing 10-inch sewer line along Jefferson Street. Onsite drainage is conveyed to two above -ground retention basins located on the south and west sides of the site, as well as to an underground retention system located directly east of residential Building 3. Trash enclosures are located at various points throughout the Specific Plan area and are screened from view. The landscape plan maintains and enhances existing landscaped areas along Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street and will accent the project's architectural theme within the site. Phasing PA1 was developed in 2008, apart from parcel 4, which was developed in 2021 as the existing coffee shop. PA2 construction is anticipated to last approximately 15 to 18 months. Construction timelines may vary depending on the availability of labor and materials. 164 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 7 Entitlements The purpose of this Environmental Assessment (EA) is to analyze the impacts of SPA No. 3, and development and operation of SDP 2022-0015 in PA2. SPA No. 3 acts to guide the use, development, and design of the proposed multi -family residential community'. The SDP is required by the City for approval of site -specific landscape design, architectural design, and site plan. Finally, the TTM subdivides the property into lots for future development and associated infrastructure improvements. PA1 is fully developed and operational. As previously stated, all pads within PA1 have been built out and any additional development is out of the scope of this document. Any future development in PA1 may require a subsequent Specific Plan Amendment, SDP, and/or CUP.

Additional consultation with the tribes may be required. VII. Geology GEO-1: Overexcavation and Recompaction — Building and Foundation Areas and Soils Planning To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the Department buildings and other foundations, overexcavation and recomposition within the proposed building footprint areas should be performed to a minimum depth of at least Project Soil twelve (12) inches below existing grades. The actual depth of the overexcavation and Engineer During Less than significant recompaction should be determined by the geotechnical field experts during construction construction. The exposed subgrade at the base of the overexcavation should then be scarified, moisture -conditioned as necessary, and compacted. The overexcavation and Project recompaction should also extend laterally five feet (5') beyond edges of the proposed Construction footing or building limits. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should Contractor be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. This will apply to Buildings 1, 4, 5, and 171 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 14 Section Mitigation Measures Responsible for Monitoring Timing Impact after Mitigation 6. For Buildings 2 and 3, recommendations presented in the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation should be followed. Overexcavation and Recompaction — Proposed Parking Areas To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the proposed parking and drive areas, overexcavation and recompaction of the near surface soil in the proposed parking area should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades or proposed subgrade, whichever is deeper. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally at least three (3) feet beyond edges of the proposed paving limits or to the property boundary. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. Any buried structures encountered during construction should be properly removed and the resulting excavations backfilled with Engineered Fill, compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density based on ASTM Test Method D1557. Excavations, depressions, or soft and pliant areas extending below planned finished subgrade levels should be cleaned to firm, undisturbed soils and backfilled with Engineered Fill. Concrete footings should be removed to an equivalent depth of at least 3 feet below proposed footing elevations or as recommended by the Soils Engineer. Any other buried structures encountered, should be removed in accordance with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer. The resulting excavations should be backfilled with Engineered Fill. A representative from a professional geotechnical firm should be present during all site clearing and grading operations to test and observe earthwork construction. This testing and observation is an integral part of the service as acceptance of earthwork construction is dependent upon compaction of the material and the stability of the material. The soils engineer may reject any material that does not meet compaction and stability requirements. XIII.

Setting: Scenic Vistas The topography of the region progresses from the flat desert floor, where La Quinta is located, to the top of mountaintops that rise over 10,000 feet. The contrast between the flat desert landscape and the mountain peaks surrounding it provides views and picturesque landscapes for residents and visitors. The City of La Quinta is located adjacent to the Santa Rosa Mountains to the west and south, which reach 8,717 feet at Toro Peak (southwest of the City). Areas beyond the City boundaries include the San Jacinto Mountains to the northwest, the San Gorgonio Mountains to the northwest, the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the northeast and east, and Indio Hills to the north. Image Corridors According to the La Quinta General Plan, the scenic resource that can be viewed from the City's public rights -of - way provide some of the most beautiful views in the Coachella Valley and add significantly to the community's quality of life. The City's scenic resources include the coves within the foothills, the expansive views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the streetscapes, parkway easements along roads, and rural areas. Threats to scenic image corridors include inappropriate and unattractive land uses, unattractive or inadequate landscaping, inadequately buffered parking, excessive or inappropriate signage, high walls and berms that block walls, and overheard powerlines that degrade views. According to Exhibit II-4 of the La Quinta General Plan, Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street, adjacent to the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area, are designated as Image Corridors. Visual Character 175 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 18 The existing visual character of the City is suburban. The incorporated portion of La Quinta exemplifies the suburban visual character, comprised of residential neighborhoods, commercial shopping centers, office parks, golf courses, parks and community facilities built along landscaped boulevards with curb, gutter and sidewalks. Buildings tend to be low-rise, which preserves views of the surrounding mountains from private and public lands. An interconnected street system provides accessibility throughout the City, and, for the most part, streets are developed with sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. Landscaping along rights -of -way provides visual relief from the built environment and enhances the visual character of the community (LQGP EIR, page III-5). Light and Glare Existing light and glare within the City are produced in areas such as the commercial centers at the Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street intersection. Residential neighborhoods and communities produce low ambient lighting in the area. Additional sources of light include the existing park's recreational facilities, vehicular traffic, and traffic signals at the Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street intersection. a) Less Than Significant Impact. The perception and uniqueness of scenic vistas from a particular setting vary according to location and surrounding context. According to the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update (GPU), development within the City limits is generally built at lower densities, and buildings throughout the planning area tend to be low rise structures. Views of local mountains and scenic vistas throughout the incorporated portions are generally good, however views are also influenced by suburban development, which includes the presence and intensity of man-made neighboring improvements (e.g., structures, overhead utilities and vegetation). The massing of structures and vegetation in the project area and surroundings interacts with the region's natural landscape and can obstruct or compliment the scenic vistas. The evaluation of scenic vistas takes into consideration the physical compatibility of proposed projects in relation to land uses, transportation corridors, or other vantage points, where the enjoyment of unique vistas may exist, such as residential areas or scenic roads. Within the City, scenic vistas include views of natural features, including the Santa Rosa, San Jacinto, and Little San Bernardino Mountains. The development of new manmade structures, including buildings, streets, signage, walls, and landscaping has the potential to replace or disrupt views of the surrounding natural landscape (2035 General Plan Update). As stated in the Project Description, the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area encompasses approximately 10.27 acres at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The northern 5.17 acres of Jefferson Square (PA1) include developed commercial buildings (attached and detached), including CVS Pharmacy, Dutch Bros Coffee, and salon services, occupying approximately 39,000 square feet of building area. The southern 5.10-acres of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area (PA2) has been disturbed and includes two vacant, graded pads and a paved parking lot. The graded pads are currently undeveloped with exposed soil and sparse vegetation growth. The western -most graded pad is surrounded by chain link fencing. The second pad is located along the southern property boundary. The remainder of PA2 operates as a paved parking lot with landscaped medians. SPA No. 3 allows the development of up to 95 units, or the development of up to 47,500 square feet of commercial retail in PA2. No changes to the developed area in PA are proposed in SPA No. 3. Due to the project's location in the northern portion of the City, views of the regional mountain ranges are distant and largely obstructed by existing structures, infrastructure, and landscaping. From the Jefferson Square Specific Plan and surrounding public viewsheds (i.e., Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive), the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north and northeast are distant and obstructed by the existing landscaping, commercial buildings, street and light posts, and electricity power poles. The San Jacinto Mountains to the west are distant and largely obstructed by existing structures and landscaping, however, the mountain peak is visible from the project depending on viewpoint location. The Santa Rosa Mountains to the south are largely obstructed by existing residential buildings and landscaping. Similar to the San Jacinto Mountains, peak views of the Santa Rosa Mountains are visible from some areas within the project, depending on location of landscaped trees. The exhibits below illustrate the existing views of the surrounding scenic vistas (i.e., mountains), when viewed from the project site (source, Google Maps). 176 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 19 Exhibit I-2 Little San Bernardino Mountain (north) from PAl k• f f 177 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 20 Exhibit 1-4 Santa Rosa Mountains (south) As illustrated in the exhibits above, the existing views of the Little San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and Santa Rosa Mountains are distant and largely obstructed by existing commercial and residential structures, landscaping (i.e., mature trees), and manmade infrastructure (i.e., parking lot light posts, signs, electricity power poles, etc.). However, peak views of these mountains are visible depending on viewpoint location, such as areas where there is a visual break between the existing structures and landscaping. SPA No. 3 would allow the development of PA2 as a multifamily residential community consisting of up to 95 units. Associated improvements include paved drive aisles, covered parking stalls, and parking spaces, pedestrian pathways, and landscaped features. The residential units could be developed as one-, two-, and three-story apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, in accordance with the development standards and design guidelines of SPA No. 3. As stated in the project description, an SDP proposes the development of 89 multifamily residential units in 6, two- to three-story buildings. The following analysis evaluates the multifamily residential development, as proposed under the SDP. Building 1 is located on the western side of the project, on the vacant and graded pad, and will consist of a three-story, slab -on -grade, wrap -around building. Buildings 2 178 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 21 and 3 are located east of Building 1 and will consist of two rows of three-story, three -bedroom townhomes. Buildings 4,5, and 6 are located south of Buildings 2 and 3 and will contain two-story, three -bedroom units, and three-story, three -bedroom units. All townhomes, per the SDP, include an attached two -car garage. Currently, the maximum building height allowed in the project area, as established by the existing Specific Plan, is 35 feet. SPA No. 3 proposes a maximum building height of 43.75 feet in PA2, which is in conformance with the City's MU Mixed Use Overlay Regulations. It should be noted, however, that SPA No. 3 limits the maximum structure height within 75 feet of the southern property line, where adjacent to single family residential, to 28 feet. The impacts of the building height increase in PA2 of the Specific Plan area would result in taller structures to allow for the two- to three-story multifamily buildings. The exhibit below illustrates the buildings proposed under the SDP and includes a three-story apartment building and two- and three-story townhouse elevations.

The following discussion analyzes the views of the scenic vistas from public viewsheds north, east, south, and west of the project as well as the impact of the SPA area (i.e., the 10.27-acre Jefferson Square area) and the multifamily project in PA2 on scenic vistas. Views from the Northern Properties/Public Viewsheds: Public viewshed locations north of the Specific Plan area occur along Fred Waring Drive. Single family residential properties lie north of Fred Waring Drive, however, views from these properties are private and obstructed by existing block walls and landscaping. From the northern viewpoint location (i.e., Fred Waring Drive), the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south are largely obstructed by existing buildings in PA1, landscaping, and additional infrastructure. However, some views of the Santa Rosa Mountains are visible in-between buildings. PA1 is currently developed and would not result in impacts to the scenic vista witnessed along Fred Waring Drive. PA2 is proposed south of the existing commercial uses in PA1; thus development of the project site could obstruct views of the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south. The 179 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 22 residential 2- to 3-story buildings would briefly obstruct views of the Santa Rosa Mountains from pedestrians and motorist traveling along Fred Waring Drive and through the parking lot of PAL However, this view is currently largely obstructed by existing commercial structures, landscaping, including mature trees, and the residential roofs of the existing Monticello single family homes. Moreover, relief between buildings would provide views of the mountains to the pedestrians and motorists. It should also be noted that the primary scenic vistas observed from Fred Waring Drive includes the San Jacinto Mountains when traveling westbound, and the Little San Bernardino Mountains when traveling eastbound. The project will not obstruct views of these mountains due to its orientation south of Fred Waring Drive. Views from the Eastern Properties/Public Viewsheds: Viewshed locations east of the Specific Plan area occur along Jefferson Street and the commercial area east of Jefferson Street. From this location, views of the San Jacinto Mountains to the west are largely obstructed by existing commercial buildings, manmade structures and landscaping. Depending on viewpoint location, midrange and peak views of the San Jacinto Mountains are visible between existing structures and trees. PA1 in the Specific Plan area would not result in further obstructed views of the scenic vistas because development is not proposed in PA1 as part of the project. However, SPA No. 3 allows the development of PA2 to include 47,500 square feet of commercial retail or up to 95 multifamily units and associated amenities and improvements. The proposed multifamily buildings would result in the obstruction of scenic vistas to the west, when observed from Jefferson Street (east). The lower slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains would be obstructed by the project when viewed from the eastern properties, but peak views would be visible in areas where relief between buildings and trees occur. Additionally, the primary scenic vistas observed by motorists and pedestrians traveling along Jefferson Street include the Little San Bernardino Mountains from the northbound lanes, and the Santa Rosa Mountains from the southbound lanes. The project would not obstruct the views of the primary scenic vistas when viewed from Jefferson Street's north- and south -bound lanes. Views from the Southern Properties/Public Viewsheds: Viewshed locations south of the Specific Plan area occur within the Monticello residential development, located immediately south of the project site. Currently, the existing residences have limited views to the north due to the presence of the six-foot wall and up to 30-foot-tall trees. Additional obstructions include existing light posts associated with the Jefferson Square Specific Plan and electricity power lines along Fred Waring Drive. Distant views of the Little San Bernardino Mountain peaks can be seen from some locations at the south -lying properties. However, as previously stated, these views are interrupted by mature trees and existing infrastructure. As stated throughout, PA1 is currently developed, and no changes are proposed. However, SPA No. 3 allows the development of up to 95 residential units within PA2. These residential units could occur within two-, and three-story buildings. PA2 abuts the backyards of approximately seven of the Monticello residential properties. The development of the proposed multifamily units would result in some obstructions to the Little San Bernardino Mountains when viewed from the backyards of the private residences and along Memorial Place (in between the residential houses). These homes are located at a lower elevation relative to the SPA No. 3 property and have 6-foot-tall screen walls. SPA No. 3 limits the maximum structure height within 75 feet of the southern property line, where adjacent to single family residential, to 28 feet. As a result, the SDP plan proposes 2-story townhomes set back approximately 70 feet from the closest single family residence. Moreover, the SDP proposes landscaping along the project's southern boundary, including a 165 foot long, 12- to 15-foot-tall hedge between two of the single family homes and Buildings 5 and 6 for additional screening purposes. See Exhibits I-7 through I-12 for visual simulations generated from the southern properties, and the proposed location of landscaped hedge, as proposed in the SDP. The proposed landscaping will act as a screen for the proposed multifamily residential structures at the southeastern boundary of the property and preserve privacy for the existing and proposed residences. 180 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 23 Additionally, the development of the buildings could extend up to 43.75 feet in height, which would be taller than the surrounding structures and would result in obstructed views for viewers to the south compared to existing conditions. It is important to note that Buildings 1, 4, 5 and 6 are proposed in the same locations where previous commercial buildings were approved under SPA No. 2 at heights of up to 35 feet tall. Additionally, SPA No. 3 limits the maximum structure height within 75 feet of the southern property line, where adjacent to single family residential, to 28 feet. Building I would be located approximately 133.7 feet from the property boundary (i.e., existing block wall). The 3-story townhomes in Buildings 2 and 3 are proposed approximately 128.3 feet north of the single-family residential building to the south. Overall, the multifamily buildings will result in a new obstruction to the Little San Bernardino Mountains when viewed from the backyards of the single-family residences to the south. Building height restrictions and landscaping are proposed to reduce impacts to the scenic vistas. Exhibits 1-8 through I -I I illustrate before and after images from the right-of-way, Memorial Place (Locations I — 3) and one location from the backyard of a private residence (Location 4). As illustrated, the building and rooflines are visible from Memorial Place (Locations 1 and 3). From Location 4, the roofline is visible, however, the building fagade is not visible from the private backyard. The proposed landscaping (including hedges) along the property's southern boundary acts to extend the private residence's existing landscaping, while adding screening for privacy. Therefore, impacts of the buildings to the south -lying properties will be less than significant. rip I SA CONSULTIPIG - .. _ . r .

From these locations, views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the northeast are distant and largely obstructed by existing mature trees throughout Monticello Park, as well as the commercial structures and landscaping associated with the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area. The ultimate construction of a multi -family community on the site would result in the limited obstruction of views from the public viewpoint west of the project. Project development could result in a three-story apartment building that would result in short-range view blockage when observed from Monticello Park. 186 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 29 Views to the east, however, do not include scenic vistas, as mountain ranges are too distant to be observed at this location. Further, Monticello Park is at a lower elevation than the site, and already includes limited views to the east. The views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains from southwest of the project, to the northeast, are largely obstructed by the existing commercial buildings and landscaping located within PAL Additionally, the primary scenic vistas observed from the southwestern properties include the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north and the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south. Development of the proposed project will not obstruct views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north or Santa Rosa Mountains to the south. Views to the north, west and south from Monticello Park would not be impacted by the proposed project due to the project's orientation east of Monticello Park. As previously stated, PA 2 includes the option to develop a commercial retail project, if the residential units are not constructed. If the commercial retail development plan is chosen, PA2 would develop 42,500 square feet of retail on Parcel 6 and 5,000 square feet of retail on Parcel 7, as contemplated in Amendment No. 2 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the commercial retail project in PA2 would not impact scenic vistas because the Specific Plan meets the standards for height and setbacks in Image Corridors. Overall, development of the project would result in some impacts to the views observed from the public viewsheds (i.e., the Jefferson Street right-of-way and from the backyards of the south -lying residences), however, peak views of the mountains would remain visible to motorists, pedestrians, and residences depending on viewpoint location. Thus, impacts to scenic vistas would be less than significant. Mitigation: None b) Less Than Significant Impact. A review of the California Scenic Highway Mapping System website revealed that the project is not located adjacent to or near any state or county, eligible or designated scenic highway. As such, the proposed site plan, architectural design, and landscaping design would not result in adverse impacts to scenic resources within a state scenic highway. The project site is not located along or near an existing or proposed state scenic highway or locally designated scenic highway. The closest designated scenic highway is State Route 74 (SR 74), which is located approximately 7.10 miles southwest of the project site. Independent of the Caltrans Scenic Highway Program, the Circulation Element of the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update (GPU) identifies roadways that are considered Image Corridors. Fred Waring Drive, north of the project, and Jefferson Street, east of the project, are designated as Image Corridors (GPU Exhibit II-4). Image corridors, as defined by the GPU, are City public rights -of -way that provide views of scenic resources and the natural landscape. These views may be threatened by inappropriate and unattractive land uses and landscaping, inadequately buffered parking, excessive or inappropriate signage, high walls and berms that block views and overhead power lines that degrade views. Per the site plan in the SDP, the three-story residential buildings will be visible from Jefferson Street, however, they will be set back approximately 170 feet (Building 3) and 100 feet (Building 4 and 6). According to Section 9.90.040 of the La Quinta Municipal Code, building heights should not exceed 22 feet for all buildings within 150 feet of any image corridor. SPA No. 3 proposes to revise this standard to 28 feet in building height within 150 feet of an image corridor. Building 3 is the only building located within 150 feet of Jefferson Street and proposes 2- and 3-story townhouses. The proposed building height is 28 feet (see Exhibit I-6 above). The increased building heights may result in reduced views of the surrounding mountain ranges when viewed along Fred Waring Drive (north) and Jefferson Street (east). As stated in discussion a) above, development of PA2 would partially obstruct views of the San Jacinto Mountains (west) when viewed from Jefferson Street, and the Santa Rosa Mountains (south) when viewed from Fred Waring Drive. However, 187 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 30 as stated in discussion a), the scenic resources can be viewed between building breaks. Discussion a) also states that the primary views observed along Fred Waring are the San Jacinto Mountains from the westbound lanes, and the Little San Bernardino Mountains from the eastbound lanes. Additionally, the primary views observed from Jefferson Street include the Little San Bernardino Mountains from the northbound lane, and the Santa Rosa Mountains from the southbound lanes. Therefore, the project would not impact the views of the natural landscape when witnessed along the public rights -of -way. SPA No. 3 includes the option to develop a commercial retail development, if the residential units are not built. If the commercial retail development plan is chosen, PA2 would develop 42,500 square feet of retail on Parcel 6 and 5,000 square feet of retail on Parcel 7, as contemplated in Amendment No. 2 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the commercial retail project in PA2 would not impact Image Corridors because the Specific Plan meets the standards for height and setbacks in Image Corridors. Additionally, no scenic resources, such as groves of trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings are located on the project site. Therefore, there will be less than significant impacts to scenic resources. Mitigation: None c) Less than Significant Impact. According to the La Quinta General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (GPU EIR), the existing visual character of the City can be characterized as both suburban and rural. The incorporated portion of the City, including the project site, is located in the suburban/urban context, which is influenced by typical urban land uses, including residential neighborhoods, commercial shopping centers, parks and community facilities. These land uses are built along landscaped boulevards with curb, gutter and sidewalks. The Specific Plan area is surrounded by existing residential developments to the north, west, and south, a park to the west, and commercial developments to the east. The approximately 10.27-acre Specific Plan area is currently located within the City's Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zoning designation. CN zones are typically intended to provide for the development and regulation of small-scale commercial areas. The site is also located under a Mixed -Use (MU) Overlay district, which is intended to facilitate the development of mixed -use projects that include both multifamily residential and commercial components. The MU overlay district and the provisions of this section apply to CN zones. SPA No. 3 allows the development of multifamily buildings, consisting of up to 95 units at a maximum height of 43.75 feet in PA2, which exceeds the standard of 35 feet. The project will provide residential uses in proximity to existing neighborhood commercial uses. The proposed residential buildings are compatible with the existing CN and MU zoning. SPA No. 3 provides the design guidelines and development standards for the Specific Plan area. The design guidelines and development standards for PA 1 did not change in SPA No. 3 because PA 1 is fully developed, and no changes are proposed as part of the SPA No. 3. PA2 is a designated mixed use development zone which permits the development of commercial or multifamily uses. As such, SPA No. 3, Sections IV. and V. provide commercial and multifamily land use and development regulations as well as design guidelines for PA2. Table I-1 below indicates the multifamily development standards for PA2 as proposed in SPA No. 3. The table also compares the proposed standards to the existing CN zone and the approved SPA No. 2. 188 - Development Standard Min. / Max. development intensity (du/ac) Minimum project size (acre) Maximum building width (ft.)

Consistent with Section 9.140.090, Table 7 proposes a maximum building height of 43.75 feet (25 percent more than the allowed building height of 35 feet in Neighborhood Commercial Districts) for the mixed -use project in PA2. Architectural appendages, such as a tower, can extend up to 48 feet. (2) 150 ft. measurement shall be from the street right-of-way. (3) Not including up to 10% of the building mass, which may extend up to 36 feet. (4) Common open area equals percent of net project area. Common open area shall consist of passive landscaped and active recreation area, and excludes parking lot landscaping. Rights -of -way, parking areas, private patios, private yards and slopes steeper than twenty percent (20%) shall not count toward the common open area requirement. "Net project area' means all of the land area included within a development project excepting those areas which are designated as primary vehicular circulation driveways, drive aisles, parking areas, stormwater retention system (above and underground), public parks, and other uses or easements which preclude the use of the land therein as part of the development project. (5) Active Recreation Area equals the percent of common open area suitable for active recreational uses such as: swimming pool, spa and related facilities; clubhouse; tot /at with play equipment, court game facilities such as tennis, basketball or racquetball, improved softball or other playfields; or similar facilities for active recreational use. (6) Lot coverage means the cumulative ground floor area of the structures on a lot expressed as a percentage of the net lot area. For purposes of this definition, "ground floor area' means all enclosed area within the ground floor of a structure, including exterior walls and mechanical spaces. Carports, garages, accessory buildings and parking structures are included in ground floor area but swimming pools and unenclosed post -supported roofs over patios and walkways are not included and "net lot area" means the horizontal land area within a lot expressed in square feet, acres, or other area measurement. (7) Number given is minimum building setback depth from the Street right-of-way. In addition to the required landscape setback, the building setback may contain parking driveways, and similar facilities. (8) The number given is the minimum landscaped depth from the street right-of-way. The remaining building setback may contain parking, driveways, and similar facilities. Section 9.90.040 of the La Quinta Municipal Code requires that building within 150 feet of any general plan image corridor and major or primary arterials not exceed 22 feet in height. Table 7 in SPA No. 3 revises this standard to 28 feet within 150 feet of an image corridor to allow for architectural features and enhancements. RES 4 and RES 6 are the only buildings located within 150 feet o f Je f ferson Street and proposes 2-story townhomes. The primary building structure height is 22 feet, however, the decorative roof/cap extends an additional six feet for a total height of 28 feet. The decorative roof is an architectural feature that adds to the aesthetic value of the project. In general, with a few exceptions, Table 1-1 shows that the multifamily development standards specified in SPA No. 3 conform with those of the CN zone and SPA No. 2. The SPA No. 3 proposes a multifamily maximum building height of 43.75 feet. The CN zone and SPA No. 2 development standards allow for a maximum 35-foot building height. However, per Section 9.140.090 of the LQMC, a mixed -use project may be up to 25 percent more in height than in a base district. Consistent 190 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 33 with Section 9.140.090, SPA No. 3 proposes a maximum building height of 43.75 feet (8.75 feet or 25 percent more than the allowed building height of 35 feet in Neighborhood Commercial Districts) for the mixed -use project in PA2. Architectural appendages, such as a tower, can extend up to 48 feet. Thus, the proposed building heights are permitted by the LQMC. Although the LQMC allows the increased building heights in mixed -use areas, SPA No. 3 limits the maximum structure height within 75 feet of the southern property line, adjacent to single family residential, to 28 feet. This is done to minimize the visual impact observed from the southern residential properties. Additionally, SPA No. 3 requires landscape screening along the southern property line to provide further privacy for the neighboring residents. Exhibit I-11 above illustrates a before and after photo simulation of the proposed SDP buildings along the southern property line. Note that with the proposed landscape screening in place, the multifamily buildings have a minimal visual impact on the neighboring residences. Finally, the maximum structure height within 150 feet of Jefferson Street proposed for the project is 28 feet, while the CN/SPA No.2 currently states 22 feet. This area is subject to the Jefferson Street Image Corridor Standards. The increase in building height limits could result in taller buildings by 6 feet than the originally approved 22-foot maximum structure height within 150 feet of Jefferson Street. The increase of 6 feet for the proposed project allows for architectural features and enhancements. Residential buildings 4 and 6 are the only buildings located within 150 feet of Jefferson Street and both are proposed as two-story townhomes. Building 6 is the nearest to Jefferson Street at 103 feet from the property line. The primary building structure height is 22 feet; however, the decorative roof extends an additional six feet for a total of 28 feet. The decorative roof is an architectural feature that adds to the aesthetic value of the property by hiding the mechanical equipment (as required in LQMC Section 9.100.050(B), Screening) and creating a variety of rooflines onsite. The east/west orientation of these buildings minimizes the impact of this change in height to the width of the structures. Moreover, the new buildings will vary in height and will include various setbacks, scale and massing, similar to the existing commercial buildings in PAL 191 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 34 Exhibit I-14 Proposed and Existing Buildings } alN�l.r�l �^SM�lS aWr.u� IwHoki a�A.x�+W s m- -- In % 1 4f 7-r-nr.

Mom® A—M- OF +A Table I-1 indicates that the multifamily building and landscape setback standards proposed in SPA No. 3 are the same as those in SPA No. 2; therefore, the project will be consistent with these standards as they affect scenic quality.. Per Table I-1, the minimum garage interior size varies slightly because it allows 9-foot wide and 18-foot deep spaces for compact stalls as well as standard sizes (10 feet width and 20 feet depth). The garage sizes will not result in impacts to the scenic quality because the size variation (1-foot width and 2-foot depth) is not enough to result in significant changes to the size of the garage. Finally, the project buildings would be required to comply with the Design Guidelines established in Section V of SPA No. 3. The design guidelines have been developed as a method of achieving a high quality and cohesive design character for the development of the Specific Plan area. They provide specific design criteria for the development of the project, and provide guidance to City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council in the review of construction plans for the project area. Section V establishes guidelines regarding building mass and scale, roof treatments, and architectural features, as they relate to commercial development or multifamily development. The design guidelines also establish standards for walls and fences and building materials and colors. The guidelines are established to ensure that the project would not result in degradation of the scenic quality in the area. Mitigation: None d) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project is the existing Jefferson Square Specific Plan area in the City of La Quinta. The project property is surrounded by existing commercial buildings to the north, Jefferson Street to the east, residential buildings to the south, and a neighborhood park to the west. Existing sources of fixed nighttime lighting in the project's vicinity can be attributed to the existing commercial buildings, homes, traffic signals at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive, and ground 192 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 35 mounted parking lot light fixtures on the project site, as well as north and east of the project site. Individual home lighting typically consists of low -intensity, wall -mounted, downward -oriented fixtures in the patio, side and front yards of homes. Commercial lighting also consists of wall -mounted, downward -oriented fixtures along building frontages near entrances, and pole -mounted downward -oriented fixtures in the parking lot. Along Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive, nighttime vehicular circulation, traffic lights, and landscaping illumination contribute to the nighttime ambient lighting. Day -time glare can also be attributed to the existing vehicular traffic. SPA No. 3 allows for development of a multifamily residential community and associated parking spaces. In accordance with the SPA No. 3 design guidelines, exterior materials for the residential buildings will be consistent with the existing commercial buildings associated with the Jefferson Square Specific Plan. Materials will include stone facades, and stucco exterior walls. Building surfaces will not have highly reflective construction materials or other conditions that would cause substantial daytime or nighttime glare. The proposed building finishes, are expected to have low solar reflectivity. The project will provide various forms of lighting to adequately illuminate the parking areas, entrances, walkways, building frontages, and other project features for security purposes. According to the proposed SPA No. 3, exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape, and should be of a design and size compatible with the buildings and adjacent areas. In compliance with Chapter 9.100.150 of the La Quinta Municipal Code, the proposed exterior lighting shall be shielded and located and directed so as not to shine directly on adjacent properties. Parking lot light poles will be equipped with a recessed lamp and a flush lens and shall not exceed a maximum height of 18 feet throughout the site in order to shield the parking light fixtures from adjacent land uses and control direct glare and light spill from those fixtures. According to the project photometric plan, the maximum foot candle (fc) within the project site is 6.7 fc in the parking lot. Along the project's southern boundary, the maximum foot candle will be 0.3, however, at the residential properties to the south, project -generated light will not exceed 0.0 fc. Along the western project boundary, the maximum foot candle will be 0.6 fc, however, at the western properties, project -generated light will not exceed 0.0 fc. Project lighting will be consistent with the standards established in the LQMC, and light from the project will not exceed 0.0 fc at adjacent properties. Therefore, less than significant impacts are expected. As previously stated, the project has the option to develop a commercial retail development plan as approved in SPA No. 2. If the commercial retail development plan is chosen, PA2 would develop 42,500 square feet of retail on Parcel 6 and 5,000 square feet of retail on Parcel 7, as contemplated in Amendment No. 2 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the commercial retail project in PA2 would include parking lot and security lighting. The City's lighting standards will apply, which require that all light be contained within the property. therefore onsite lighting impacts will be less than significant.

AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES— Potentially Less Than Less Than No In determining whether impacts to agricultural Significant Significant Significant Impact resources are significant environmental effects, lead Impact with Mitigation Impact agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Incorporation Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

Sources: La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, 2013; La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report, 2013; California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, California Department of Conservation, 2016. Setting: The project site and the City of La Quinta General Plan area are characterized by the urban context, primarily consisting of residential and commercial developments. Per the La Quinta General Plan Environmental Impact Report (LQGP EIR), significant agricultural resources within the City of La Quinta no longer exist. However, agriculture is still an economic factor east of the incorporated boundary, within the City's Sphere of Influence. The La Quinta General Plan facilitates urban development on lands designated as Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Local Importance since agricultural production and have been designated for urban uses for some time. State Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program The California Department of Conservation (DOC) established the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) in 1982 as a non -regulatory program that provides a consistent and impartial analysis of agricultural land use and land use changes throughout California. The FMMP produces maps and statistical data used for analyzing impacts on California's agricultural resources. Prime agricultural land is rated according to soil quality and irrigation status and identified by the following categories: Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Farmland of Local Importance, Urban and Built -Up Land, and Other Land. Each category is described as follows: 194 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 37 • Prime Farmland: areas with both good physical and chemical attributes able to sustain long-term agricultural production. • Farmland of Statewide Importance: areas that have a good combination of physical and biological characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops, and is available for these uses. • Unique Farmland: areas that produce crops of statewide importance; however, contain lower quality soils than those within Prime Farmland. • Farmland of Local Importance: lands generally without irrigation, and which produce dry crops that may be important locally but are not important for statewide agriculture production. • Urban Built -Up Land: areas occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel. • Other Land: areas of land not included in any other mapping category. According to the most recent (2016) FMMP, the most prominent categories within the City of La Quinta are Urban Built -Up Land and Other Land. Farmland of Local Importance and Unique Farmland are also present within the City limits, however, agricultural production within the City has been designated for urban uses. a-e) No Impact The proposed project is located in the Jefferson Square Specific Plan property and west of Jefferson Street in the City of La Quinta. The project site is currently disturbed and includes existing buildings, graded pads and parking lots with landscaped medians. The project is not located on lands zoned for agriculture and is not covered by a Williamson Act contract. There are no areas of forest land, timberland or timberland zoned Timberland Production. According to the Williamson Act 2016 Status Report, no portion of the land is within or near a recognized Williamson Act Contract area. There are no other agricultural areas or related zoning polices with which the proposed project would conflict. The project will not impact or remove any land from the County's agricultural zoning or agricultural preserve. Additionally, the 2016 California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) indicates that the property is designated as "Urban and Built-up Land", as established by the California Department of Conservation.. The surrounding land to the north, east, south, and west are also designated as Urban and Built-up Land. The FMMP land designation does not support agricultural uses. Moreover, the project site is located within a commercial land use and zoning designation established by the City of La Quinta. The project site is not located in an existing zone for agricultural use or classified as farmland. No forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production zone occurs on the project site or in the surrounding areas, largely because forest vegetation is uncharacteristic of the Coachella Valley's desert floor environment. Therefore, the proposed project will have no impact on agricultural or forestry resources. Mitigation: None 195 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 38 3.

Setting: Summary of Existing Air Quality Regulatory Framework: The project site and Coachella Valley are situated within the Riverside County portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB), under jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the adopted 2022 Air Quality Management Plan (2022 AQMP). The 2022 AQMP serves as a regional blueprint toward achieving the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) with the most current strategies to effectively reduce emissions, accommodate growth, and minimize any negative fiscal impacts of air pollution control on the economy. The 2022 AQMP also accounts for information and assumptions from the 2020 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to support the integration of land use and transportation toward meeting the federal Clean Air Act requirements. Local air quality in relation to the applicable standards for criteria air pollutants is measured at three established Coachella Valley monitoring stations that are part of the SCAQMD 2022 Annual Air Quality Monitoring Network Plan: Palm Springs (AQS ID 060655001), Indio (AQS ID 060652002), and Mecca (Saul Martinez - AQS ID 060652005). The 2022 AQMP also provides guidance for the State Implementation Plans (SIP) for attainment of the applicable ambient air quality standards. The Coachella Valley region is in non -attainment for Particulate Matter (PM10) and Ozone (03), which are described below. Particulate Matter (PM10): PM10 is a criteria air pollutant consisting of particulate matter (airborne particles) with an aerodynamic diameter of up to 10 microns. In terms of health effects, elevated levels of ambient particulate matter are linked to increases in respiratory infections, number and severity of asthma attacks, the number of hospital admissions, and mortality rates. As indicated in the 2022 AQMP, the Coachella Valley is currently designated as a serious nonattainment area for PM10. 196 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 39 PM10 levels in the Coachella Valley are largely attributed to sources of fugitive dust (e.g. construction activities, re -entrained dust from paved and unpaved road travel, and natural wind-blown sources). The Coachella Valley is subject to frequent high winds that generate wind-blown sand and dust, leading to high episodic PM10 concentrations, especially from disturbed soil and natural desert blow sand areas. The Final 2003 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan (CVSIP) was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on December 14, 2005. It incorporated updated planning assumptions, fugitive dust source emissions estimates, mobile source emissions estimates, and attainment modeling with control strategies and measure commitments. Some of those measures are reflected in SCAQMD Rules 403 and 403.1, which are enacted to reduce or prevent man-made fugitive dust sources with their associated PM10 emissions. On February 25, 2010, the ARB approved the 2010 Coachella Valley PM10 Maintenance Plan and transmitted it to the U.S. EPA for approval. Ozone and Ozone Precursors: Ozone (03) is a photochemical oxidant formed through chemical reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and oxygen in the presence of sunlight. In terms of health effects, individuals exercising outdoors, children, and people with preexisting lung disease, such as asthma and chronic pulmonary lung disease, are the most susceptible sub -groups for the effects of ozone. The Coachella Valley portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) is deemed to be in nonattainment for the 1997 8- hour ozone standard. The Coachella Valley is unique in its geography due to its location downwind from the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). As such, when high levels of ozone are formed in the South Coast Air Basin upstream, they are transported to the Coachella Valley. Similarly, when ozone precursors such as NOx and VOCs are emitted from mobile and stationary sources located in the South Coast Air Basin, they are also transported to the Coachella Valley. The 2022 AQMP has found and established that the Coachella Valley does not have large sources of smog - forming emissions and therefore, local sources of air pollution have a limited impact on ozone levels compared to the transport of ozone precursors generated upwind in SCAB. Based on the 2022 AQMP, the attainment date for the said ozone standard is August 2033. SCAQMD continues to reduce ozone and improve air quality in the Coachella Valley, in part by providing more than $50 million in grant funding towards paving dirt roads and parking lots, clean energy projects and cleaner vehicles. Future emission reductions anticipated to occur in the South Coast Air Basin associated with current and planned regulations on mobile and stationary sources are expected to contribute to improvements in ozone air quality in the Coachella Valley and lead to attainment of the standard. a) Less than Significant Impact. This analysis and findings rely in part on the quantitative results of running the most current California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod, Version 2022.1), which is computer software developed in conjunction with the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) and California Air Districts to calculate criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from land use projects using widely accepted methodologies. Air quality impacts can be deemed significant if the estimated project emissions exceed the South Coast AQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds, which consist of peak short-term construction -related and long-term operational impact thresholds measured in pounds per day. Table III-1 below displays these numeric thresholds applicable to construction and operational activities to which the project -specific air emissions results have been compared. Table III-1 SCAQMD's Air Quality Significance Thresholds (Pounds/Day) Emission Source CO VOC NOx Sox PM10 PM2.5 Construction 550 75 100 150 150 55 Operation 550 55 55 150 150 55 Source: Air Quality Analysis Guidance Handbook and SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds, March 2023 197 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 40 The CalEEMod 2022.1 analysis for this project accounted for the proposed development parameters (land uses and facility dimensions) as model inputs for calculating the associated criteria air pollutants. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Land Use Code (220) and daily trip generation rate of 6.74 trips per unit are consistent with the Traffic Memorandum for this project. The associated household size of 2.34 persons per household is based on the most current CA Department of Finance E-5 data for La Quinta available at the time of preparation. For comparison purposes, a separate CalEEMod analysis was performed for the unbuilt commercial uses previously approved in PA2 under the governing Specific Plan and associated amendments. Consistent with the Jefferson Square Apartments traffic memorandum, these uses include a home improvement store of 42,527 square feet and strip retail uses of 48,002 square feet. Table III-2 demonstrates that the construction -related activities consisting of asphalt and hardscape demolition, site preparation, grading, utilitiesibuilding construction, paving, and architectural coating associated with the proposed project will not exceed the applicable SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds for criteria pollutants, including PM 10 and Ozone precursors. This includes the expected export and hauling of bulk material to be generated from the demolition of the existing parking lot areas, which is factored into CalEEMod as a quantity of 830 tons of debris based on the approximate area of disturbance. The Table also shows that if the commercial option were developed, as allowed in SPA No. 2, emissions would also be below thresholds. As a standard requirement, dust control measures will be implemented during construction as part of a City -approved fugitive dust control plan in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403/403.1 and the City of La Quinta Municipal Code Section 6.16 (Fugitive Dust Control). Thus, a less than significant impact would occur for the construction -related emissions in relation to the applicable South Coast AQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds.

Note: The PM10 and PM2.5 emissions for the revised project are based con compliance with the La Quinta Municipal Code, Chapter 6.16 (Fugitive Dust Control) and the local standard requirement to implement SCAQMD Rule 403 and 403.1 to control fugitive dust. CalEEMod analysis was also used to calculate the long-term operational air pollutant emissions that would occur during the life of the project. These operations include area, energy and mobile sources. As shown in Table III-3 below, the project -related operational emissions of criteria pollutants are also not expected to exceed the SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds. The estimated emission levels associated with the construction of commercial uses in PA2 were also found not to exceed the relevant thresholds. Therefore, a less than significant impact is expected for operational emissions from the project. 198 Assoc!

Is/Day) In summary, construction and implementation of SPA No. 3 is likely to result in a relative decrease in ROG and SO2 emissions and a relative increase in NOx, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions compared to the approved SPA No. 2 project. Both construction emission scenarios occur below the applicable thresholds. In terms of operations, the SPA is likely to result in a relative decrease in all criteria pollutants, consisting of ROG, NOx, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions compared to the approved project. Both operational emission scenarios occur below the applicable thresholds. Moreover, the project is not expected to result in emission levels, growth or land use changes that would interfere with the City or region's ability to comply with the most current air quality plans, including the 2022 AQMP and State Implementation Plan strategies for PM10 and ozone level attainment efforts. The project's short-term construction and long-term operational emissions would not exceed the established regional thresholds for criteria air pollutant emissions. Pertaining to the obstruction of an applicable air quality plan, less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. As discussed previously, the Coachella Valley portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) is in nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. Under the 2022 AQMP, the target attainment date for this standard is August 2033. SCAQMD has established that the Coachella Valley does not have large sources of smog -forming emissions and therefore, local sources of air pollution have a limited impact on ozone levels compared to the transport of ozone precursors generated upwind in SCAB. As demonstrated in tables III-2 and 111-3, project -related short-term construction and long-term operational emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds for ozone precursors, such as NOx and ROG/VOC. Therefore, pertaining to the ozone nonattainment status, the proposed project would not result in an exceedance to the applicable threshold or result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in the precursors of this criteria pollutant. Furthermore, the Coachella Valley is currently designated as a serious nonattainment area for PM10 and is under the EPA -approved Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan 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 grading, earth -moving, demolition, or building operation with a disturbed surface area of more than five thousand (5,000) square feet. 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 199 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 42 Valley. The plan will 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 most widely used measures include proper construction phasing, proper maintenance/cleaning of construction equipment, soil stabilization, installation of track -out prevention devices, and wind fencing. As shown in tables III-2 and III-3, project -related short-term construction and long-term operational emissions that factor in the required soil stabilization measures are expected to not exceed the applicable SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds for PM10. Therefore, pertaining to the PM10 nonattainment status, the proposed project would not result in an exceedance to the applicable threshold or result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in the precursors of this criteria pollutant. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None c) Less than Significant Impact. A sensitive receptor is a person or group in the population particularly susceptible (i.e., more susceptible than the population at large) to health effects due to exposure to an air contaminant. Sensitive receptors and the facilities that house them are of particular concern if they are located in close proximity to localized sources of carbon monoxide, toxic air contaminants, or odors. Residences, long-term health care facilities, schools, rehabilitation centers, playgrounds, convalescent centers, childcare centers, retirement homes, and athletic facilities are generally considered sensitive receptors. The SCAQMD has developed and published the Final Localized Significance Threshold (LST) Methodology to help identify potential impacts that could contribute or cause localized exceedances of the federal and/or state ambient air quality standards (NAAQS/CAAQS). LST methodology was developed in response to environmental justice and health concerns raised by the public regarding exposure of individuals to criteria pollutants in local communities. The purpose of analyzing LSTs is to determine whether a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts in relation to the nearest exposed sensitive receptors, such as those listed above. LSTs represent the maximum emission levels that comply with the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard at the nearest sensitive receptor, taking into consideration ambient concentrations in each source receptor area (SRA), project, size, and distance to the sensitive receptor. Therefore, meeting the lowest allowable emissions thresholds translates to meeting the most stringent air quality standards for a project locality in consideration of sensitive receptors. As part of the LST methodology, SCAQMD has divided its jurisdiction into 37 source receptor areas (SRAs) which can be used to determine whether a project may generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts. The proposed development is located in SRA 30, which covers the Coachella Valley and City of La Quinta. LSTs only apply to certain criteria pollutants: carbon dioxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) particulate matter equal to or less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10), and particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). The project site occurs in a vacant condition and is surrounded by existing development consisting of public roads, residential neighborhoods, ang commercial development. The nearest residential structures are immediately to the south, within the Monticello residential community. The separation between the project and such residential uses is an existing perimeter block wall. As a result of this proximity, the LST analysis utilized the shortest separation interval (25 meters/82 feet) as the basis for analysis. This will ensure that the lowest emissions threshold is used as a standard for determining significance. 200 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 43 Table III-4 Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) Associated with Construction and Operation of the Proposed Project with Receptors at 25 Meters (82 Feet), (In Pounds/Day) Emission Source NOx CO PM10 PM2.5 Construction Emissions for Proposed Project 40.7 37.6 7.35 4.40 LST Threshold 304.00 2,292.00 14.00 8.00 Construction Threshold Exceeded by Approved Uses?

No No No No Sources: CalEEMod Results and AQMD LST Look -Up Tables Note: The PM10 and PM2.5 emissions are based on the CalEEMod mitigated results due to the local standard requirement to implement SCAQMD Rule 403 and 403.1 to control fugitive dust. LST Parameters: Source Receptor Area (SRA) 30, 5-acre area increments, 25-meter distance. The results provided in Table III-4 demonstrate that the construction -related and operation emission levels would occur below the applicable thresholds, taking into account the source receptor area and nearest sensitive receptor location to the project. Therefore, the project would not result in emissions capable of exposing sensitive receptors to localized substantial pollutant concentrations. Moreover, the proposed project would not situate new housing in a location known to be exposed to existing or planned sources of substantial emissions. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. As previously stated, the project has the option to develop a commercial retail development plan as approved in SPA No. 2. If the commercial retail development plan is chosen, PA2 would develop 42,500 square feet of retail on Parcel 6 and 5,000 square feet of retail on Parcel 7, as contemplated in Amendment No. 2 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the commercial retail project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, since the commercial buildings would shelter the residential units from pollution being generated by automobiles. Thus, no impacts were concluded. Mitigation: None d) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed residential uses and associated private amenities are not expected to include or be located near the types of facilities or operations commonly known to generate odors, such as wastewater treatment plants, sanitary landfills, composting/green waste facilities, recycling facilities, petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturing plants, painting/coating operations, rendering plants, or food packaging facilities. Therefore, the project is not expected to result in odor or other emissions adversely affecting nearby neighbors or a substantial number of people. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Additionally, as stated in discussion c, the commercial retail development plan would develop 42,500 square feet of retail on Parcel 6 and 5,000 square feet of retail on Parcel 7 in PA2, as contemplated in Amendment No. 2 and Environmental Assessment 2002-462. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the commercial retail project would not generate objectional odors since the commercial buildings would shelter the residential units from pollution being generated by automobiles. No impacts were concluded. Mitigation: None 201 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 44 4.

Sources: 2035 La Quinta General Plan (2012) and Coachella Valley Multiple Species Conservation Plan (2007) Setting: The Jefferson Square Specific Plan area was previously graded and developed for commercial use, consisting of a shopping center including a supermarket, drugstore with drive -through, and a gasoline service station within seven building areas. The southern portion of the SP area (PA2) where development is proposed has been improved with paved drive aisles, parking, curb and gutter improvements, post -mounted lighting, and landscaping. Along with the developed areas of the project site, the property also includes two undeveloped pads, which are surrounded by fencing to deter trespassing. The site has scant vegetation consisting of Sonoran creosote bush scrub and ornamental vegetation. References to analyze potential impacts to biological resources include the City's General Plan and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Plan (CVMSHCP). The project site is not part of a CVMSHCP Conservation Area. The discussion below evaluates the disturbed and developed property's potential impact on biological resources. a) No Impact. As previously mentioned, the site has been previously disturbed since 2002 and is currently part of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan commercial development. The site is largely surrounded by commercial development, parking and roadways. Residential uses are located to the south and a park is located to the west. As a result of the site's surroundings, the project site does not provide the conditions that would support sensitive species of plants or animals given special status by government agencies. The property is within the CVMSHCP which outlines policies for conservation of habitats and natural communities. The project site is not located within a CVMSHCP Conservation Area and there are no known significant biological resources on the project site. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial 202 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 45 adverse impact on candidate, sensitive, or special status species. No impacts are expected as a result of project implementation. b-c) No Impact. As discussed throughout this document, the project site has been developed and previously graded as part of the original development. The property does not contain nor is it adjacent to any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the CDFW or the USFWS. No blue line streams or desert washes are found within the project boundaries. Therefore, no impacts are expected. d) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The site has been heavily disturbed and is surrounded by development and human activity. The project site would not be expected to be a part of or contain migratory wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites. However, the site's current vegetation and onsite trees provide suitable habitat for nesting birds. Vegetation clearing that occurs during the typical nesting bird season (January 15 through August 31) will require a qualified biologist to conduct a nesting bird clearance survey no more than 14-days prior to construction. Therefore, with the incorporated mitigation measure, the proposed project will not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species and less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: BIO-1: To ensure compliance with California Fish and Game Code and the MBTA and to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds, vegetation removal activities should be conducted outside the general bird nesting season (January 15 through August 31). Any vegetation removal and/or construction activities that occur during the nesting season will require that all vegetation be thoroughly surveyed for the presence of nesting birds by a qualified biologist. Prior to commencement of clearing, a qualified biologist shall conduct preconstruction surveys within 14 days. If any active nests are detected a buffer of 300 feet (500 feet for raptors) around the nest adjacent to construction will be delineated, flagged, and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete. The buffer may be modified and/or other recommendations proposed as determined appropriate by the biologist to minimize impacts. e-f) No Impact. Project implementation would result in the removal of 10 to 15 existing onsite trees. The existing trees were planted as part of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan parking lot to provide shade to pedestrians. The project applicant will provide more than a 2 to 1 tree replacement ratio (or every one tree removed, two will be planted onsite). The project is consistent with the Goals and Policies set forth in the City of La Quinta Biological Resources chapter (Chapter III) of the General Plan. The project will comply with CVMSHCP through the payment of mitigation fees. There are no other unique local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources that would cause a conflict nor does the site support high value biological resources that could be affected. No impacts are expected. Mitigation: None 203 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 46 Potentially Less Than Less Than 5.

Sources: CRM Tech Cultural Report Memorandum (2022) Setting: The project site is the Jefferson Square Specific Plan (SP) area, which occupies 10.27 acres on the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. A project -specific systematic review of past cultural resources and an update memo were prepared by CRM Tech (November 2022). The purpose of this update memo is to provide a synopsis of all cultural resources investigations carried out on the property and provide current recommendations on compliance with the mandates of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of La Quinta Historic Preservation Ordinance regarding "historical resources," as defined by (CEQA). The City of La Quinta has a rich history which includes Ancient Lake Cahuilla. Ancient Lake Cahuilla was a large intermittent freshwater lake created by the Colorado River. Its shoreline continually changed as the lake was filled and emptied by the river, and when it was full it attracted human settlement with its plentiful resources. Settlement along the lakeshore in the Coachella Valley was particularly intensive, with evidence of large-scale, multi -seasonal occupation. The first known human inhabitants of the Coachella Valley included the Cahuilla Indians, whose occupancy spread from the Banning Pass to the Salton Sea. Anthropologists divided the Cahuilla into three groups based on their geographic setting: (1) the Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass -Palm Springs area; (2) the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains; and (3) the Cahuilla Valley, and the Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley. The Cahuilla Indians developed a seasonal mobility system, which utilized the lake when it was full and benefited from the available terrestrial resources once the lake desiccated. They also migrated to higher elevations to utilize the resources and cooler temperatures. The City and its Sphere of Influence have a rich and varied history. Many cultural resources, including prehistoric, historic, and paleontological resources have been catalogued in the area. Summary of Previous Archaeological Surveys for Specific Plan Previous studies involving the project area resulted in the identification and recordation of a small portion of a prehistoric—i.e., Native American —archaeological site, 33-001769 (CA-RIV-1769), in the northwestern corner the current project area. Consisting mainly of a human cremation, the site was first identified in 1971, evaluated in 1979, and determined at that time to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. However, several subsequent archaeological studies were unable to relocate much of the cultural materials and features that were initially recorded at the site, and it was reported that local relic hunters or concerned individuals may have removed artifacts from the site. Despite the negative or near -negative findings of these subsequent studies, due to the high sensitivity of the area for buried cultural materials, a 2000 study that included both a Phase I survey and Phase II subsurface testing procedures recommended that archaeological monitoring be carried out during any grading or trenching activities in the project vicinity. The recommendation was adopted by the City of La Quinta, and a monitoring program was undertaken 204 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 47 during earth -moving operations for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan project in 2008-2009, which encompassed the current project area in its entirety. The monitoring program resulted in the discovery of an isolated pottery sherd and possible human cremation remains. The sherd was found near the eastern boundary of the current project area, well outside of the boundaries of any previously recorded sites in the vicinity and was determined not to qualify as a "historical resource". Therefore, it required no further treatment. The cremation remains were originally discovered in the northern portion of the project area within the boundaries of Site 33-001769. In consultation with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the remains were reinterred in the southwestern corner of the project area at a depth of approximately eight feet below the surface, in an area designated for landscaping at the time. At the conclusion of the monitoring program, the portion of Site 33-001769 impacted by the Jefferson Square Specific Plan project was determined not to qualify as a "historical resource" due to the lack of further archaeological data potential. However, the possible cremation remains were found to constitute a "historical resource" independently of the site because of the unique cultural significance of human remains to the local Native American community. On November 15, 2022, CRM Tech conducted a field inspection of the project area. At that time, no historical/archaeological features or artifact deposits were encountered on the ground surface, which has been extensively disturbed by past grading, excavation, and other development activities. Currently an asphalt -paved parking lot occupies the northeastern and southwestern portions of the project area, with engineered earthen pads making up the rest of the acreage. a,b) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The project site is partially developed with commercial uses and improvements typical of a shopping center (parking, lighting, etc.). SPA No. 3 would allow for either (i) a commercial retail development plan (Option 1) or (ii) a mixed -use development plan (Option 2). According to the SDP, Building 1 would occur on the western side of the site which is currently a vacant and undeveloped pad. Buildings 2 and 3 are located east of Building 1 in an area currently paved with asphalt and utilized for parking. Buildings 4, 5, and 6 would occur on the southeast corner of the project on an undeveloped pad. These building footprint areas were previously excavated (in 2008) and studied as part of the original project's site monitoring program. In 2008 over -excavation and compaction at depths of 8 feet was completed for the pads associated with Building 1 and Building 3, however, development did not occur on these pads. Trenching for underground stormwater retention up to 17 feet and utility trenching up to 12 feet also occurred during this time. Over -excavation at the building pads is required to ensure proper compaction for the future buildings. Based on the recommendations provided in the project -specific geotechnical investigation, excavation depths of 8 feet shall be required for the building pads. Over - excavation and recompaction up to 1 foot is recommended for the paved areas (i.e., drive aisles, parking spaces). The cremation site identified during the prior site work has been reinterred in the southwest corner of the site. CRM Tech's recent field survey of the six areas did not encounter any additional historical or archaeological resources. The reinterred resource site meets the statutory/regulatory definition of a "historical resource" and thus requires proper protection under CEQA. To avoid potential disturbance of the burial site, the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians requested a 10-foot by 10-foot easement at the site (see mitigation below). Although the most recent field survey did not find any evidence of any cultural resources, the site has been sensitive for archaeological resources and could potentially contain additional subsurface archaeological resources. Therefore, mitigation in the form of a qualified archaeological and Tribal monitor during the excavation at and around the reinterred resource site shall be required. With this mitigation measure, impacts to historical and archaeological resources are less than significant. Mitigation: 205 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 48 CUL-1: The presence of a qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor shall be required during all project related ground disturbing activities at and around the reinterred resource site. If disturbances to that location — and potentially to the depth of eight feet — cannot be avoided, with the applicant shall work with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians regarding the possibility of moving the cremation remains to a different portion of the project area, and shall demonstrate to the City in writing that this agreement has been executed and undertaken to the Tribe's satisfaction. The project applicant shall record a permanent 10-foot by 10- foot easement at the reinterred site at the southwest corner of the project, in favor of the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians concurrent with recordation of the Parcel Map. In the event that potentially significant archaeological materials are discovered, all work must be halted in the vicinity of the archaeological discovery until the archaeologist can assess the significance of the find, and its potential eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHC). Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the monitor shall request that destructive construction halt in the vicinity of the deposits. c) Less than Significant Impact. In 2008 the entire Jefferson Square Specific Plan area was graded and excavated. Over -excavation and compaction at depths of 8 feet was completed for the proposed Building 1 and Buildings 4, 5 and 6, however, development did not occur on these pads. Trenching for underground stormwater retention up to 17 feet and utility trenching up to 12 feet also occurred during this time. Cremation remains were discovered onsite during the 2008 cultural resources survey. In consultation with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the remains were reinterred in the southwestern corner of the project area at a depth of approximately eight feet below the surface, in an area designated for landscaping. This area will be permanently protected by a proposed 10'x10' easement. Additionally, the project will retain a qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor during all project related ground disturbing activities at and around the reinterred resource area (mitigation measures CUL-I). The California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 require that 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 overlay adjacent remains, until the County Coroner has examined the remains. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American or has reason to believe that they are those of Native American, the coroner shall contact by telephone within 24-hours of the Native American Heritage Commission. Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) requires lead agencies to notify their local tribes about development projects. It also mandates lead agencies consult with Tribes if requested and sets the principles for conducting and concluding the required consultation process. Per the requirements of AB 52 and SB 18, the agreements shall provide protection to Native American human burials and skeletal remains from vandalism and inadvertent destruction and provide for sensitive treatment and disposition of Native American burials, skeletal remains, and associated grave goods consistent with the planned use of, or the approved project on, the land. Pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code and AB 52, proper actions shall take place in the event of a discovery or recognition of any human remains during project construction activities and less than significant impacts are expected. 206 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 49 Potentially Less Than Less Than 6. ENERGY -- Would the project: Significant Significant Significant No Impact p with Mitigation Impact p Impact Incorporation a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary ❑ ❑ ® ❑ consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan ❑ ❑ ® ❑ for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Sources: La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update; La Quinta Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan, 2012; CaIEEMod Version 2022.1.1.14. Setting: Energy sources are made available to the Coachella Valley by private and public agencies. Major energy providers include Southern California Edison (SCE), Imperial Irrigation District (IID), and the Southern California Gas Company (The Gas Company or SoCalGas). Electricity and natural gas are the primary sources of energy in the City of La Quinta. The project property lies within IID's and The Gas Company's service areas. IID delivers electricity throughout the City at 92 or 161 kilovolts, decreased to 12 kilovolts for distribution to its customers. Natural gas is the primary source of energy used in the City for space and water heating, as well as cooking. The Gas Company has major supply lines in Washington Street (west), Highway 111 (south), and Indio Boulevard (northeast). There are more than 27 million registered vehicles in California, and those vehicles consumed an estimated 18.5 billion gallons of petroleum and diesel in 2014, according to the California Energy Commission (CEC). Gasoline and other vehicle fuels are commercially provided commodities and would be available to the project via commercial outlets. According to the CEC, transportation accounts for nearly 37 percent of California's total energy consumption. Petroleum -based fuels account for approximately 92 percent of California's transportation energy sources. Technological advances, market trends, consumer behavior, and government policies could result in significant changes to fuel consumption by type and total. Various policies, rules, and regulations have been enacted to improve vehicle fuel efficiency, promote the development and use of alternative fuels, reduce transportation -source air pollutants and GHG emissions, and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), at the federal and State levels. Technological advances have made use of other energy resources or alternative transportation modes increasingly feasible, as market forces have driven the price of petroleum products steadily upward. a) Less than Significant Impact. PA1 is fully developed with commercial buildings, paved drive aisles and parking spaces, and retention basins. Currently, the PA2 operates as a parking lot for PAL The existing parking lot includes light fixtures to illuminate the parking spaces in the evening. SPA No. 3, allows the development of up to 95 multi -family units, parking spaces, communal areas, and associated improvements; or 47,500 square feet of commercial retail space with parking spaces and associated improvements. Since PA is developed and physical conditions and operations within PA will not change, it is assumed that the commercial businesses in PA1 will not contribute to new energy consumption. Therefore, analysis of project energy consumption will focus on the construction and operation of PA2. Title 24 of the California Administrative Code sets efficiency standards for new construction, regulating energy consumed for heating cooling, ventilation, water heating, and lighting. These building efficiency standards are enforced through the City's building permit process. The project property is currently served with electricity, which powers the existing light fixtures in the parking lot. PA 2 does not consume natural gas resources. PA2 is proposed to connect to the existing energy sources. 207 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 50 The project is expected to consume energy in the form of electricity, natural gas and petroleum during project construction and operation. Analysis of the project -related energy consumption was calculated and analyzed using the latest version of CaIEEMod v2022.1. The consumption of energy may lead to an increased amount of GHGs emitted, and the decreased quality of air in an area; therefore, energy was evaluated in the reports and used in the analysis of this section. These inputs included 95 low-rise apartment units and up to 200 parking spaces. PA2 will be developed in one phase, over a period of 15 to 18 months. Project -related energy consumption, via electricity, natural gas, and petroleum, is discussed further below. Electricity According to the La Quinta General Plan (LQGP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR), buildout of residential uses in the General Plan area will result in electrical consumption of approximately 893,149,660 kWh/year, and commercial uses would consume 716,607,636 kWh/yr, resulting in a total electrical consumption of 1,609,757,296 kWh/yr. The City has committed to reducing its consumption of electricity through a number of programs listed in the General Plan. Comtruction Temporary electrical power for lighting and electronic equipment, such as computers inside interim construction trailers, would be provided by IID. Electricity consumed for onsite construction trailers, which are used by managerial staff during the hours of construction activities, as well as electrically powered hand tools are expected to use a minimal amount of electricity. However, the electricity used for such activities would be temporary and negligible. Most energy used during construction would be from petroleum consumption (discussed further below). Operation The project proposes the operation of a multi -family residential development on approximately 5.1 acres on the southern portion of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan, and south of existing commercial buildings. The project would not result in the use of excessive amounts of fuel or electricity and would not result in the need to develop additional sources of energy. While energy use at the project would not be excessive, the project would incorporate several measures directed at minimizing energy use. These measures include applying energy efficient design building shells and building components, such as windows, roof systems, electrical lighting systems, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems to meet the most current Title 24 Standards which expects 30 percent less energy for non-residential buildings and 53 percent less energy for residential use due to energy efficiency measures combined with rooftop solar electricity generation. Therefore, reducing the use of electricity during project operation. According to the CaIEEMod calculations, the project is expected to generate the demand for approximately 650,445 kWh of annual electricity use for the Apartment low rise (i.e., multi -family units), and approximately 68,685 kWh of annual electricity use for the parking lot component, depicted in the table below. Table VI-1 Operational Electricity Demand Electricity Use Land Use kWh/yr. Apartment Low Rise 650,445 Parking Lot 68,685 Total 719,130 208 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 51 As previously stated, the LQGP EIR predicts that buildout of residential and commercial uses in the General Plan area, including the proposed project site, will result in electrical consumption of 1,088,371,637.12 kWh per year, where residential uses would consume 530,867,194 kWh/yr and commercial uses would consume 557,504,443.12 kWh/yr. The proposed project is anticipated to consume approximately 719,130 kWh/yr, which is approximately 0.07 percent of the City's residential and commercial electrical consumption at total buildout. For informational purposes, the CalEEMod model was run for the approved uses in PA2, which is commercial retail. Based on the CalEEMod calculations, the approved uses would result in 810,146 kWh/yr during operation, which is 138,943 kWh/yr more than the proposed residential uses. However, it is 0.05 percent of the City's residential and commercial consumption at total buildout. The commercial uses within PA2 are approved as a part of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 2. The IID planning area used approximately 1,261.3 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity in the commercial sector and 1,901.7 GWh of electricity in the residential sector, for a total of 2,941.9 GWh in 2021. IID estimates that electricity consumption within IID's planning area will be approximately 4,641,267 MWh annually by 2031. Based on the project's estimated new annual electrical consumption of 719,130 kWh (which is equivalent to 719.13 MWh), the project would account for approximately 0.015 percent of IID's demand in 2031. The project would result in the long-term consumption of electricity, however, the increase in demand for the resource would not be substantial. Natural Gas According to the LQGP EIR, at City build -out, residential units and commercial uses will consume approximately 2,205,787,360 cubic feet of natural gas per year (cf/yr). SoCalGas has developed a wide range of energy management, conservation and equipment retrofit programs for its consumer base. Assistance in facilities planning and analysis is also provided by SoCalGas to maximize energy efficiency and cost-effective equipment purchases and operations. Construction Natural gas is not anticipated to be required during construction of the project. Operation Natural gas typically is consumed during building heating, water heating and cooking, which will occur during project operation. The project's expected natural gas consumption was calculated using the CalEEMod default values. Based on the CalEEMod calculations, PA2 is estimated to consume approximately 1,612,171 thousand British thermal units (kBTU) of natural gas annually during operation of the multi -family units (equivalent to 1,554,649 cf/yr). The parking lot use would not consume natural gas. This is displayed int Table VI-2, Operational Natural Gas Demand, below. Table VI-2 Operational Natural Gas Demand Natural Gas Use Land Use kBTU/yr cf/yr* Apartments Low Rise 1,612,171 1,660,536.13 Parking Lot -- -- Total 1,612,171 1,660,536.13 * Utilizing the conversion factor of 1,036 BTU per cubic foot. 209 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 52 As previously stated, at General Plan build -out, residential units and commercial uses will use approximately 2,205,787,360 cubic feet of natural gas per year (cf/yr). According to CalEEMod, the project is anticipated to consume approximately 1,660,536.13 cf/yr, which is approximately 0.08 percent of the City's natural gas consumption at buildout of the City. For informational purposes, the CaIEEMod model was run for the approved uses in PA2, which is commercial retail. Based on the CalEEMod calculations, the approved uses would result in 758,753 kBTU/yr during operation, or 731,681 cf/yr, and it is 0.033 percent of the City's residential and commercial consumption at total buildout. The commercial uses within PA2 are approved as a part of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 2. Based on the 2018 California Gas Report, prepared by the California gas and electric utilities, estimates natural gas consumption within SoCalGas's planning area will be approximately 2,310 million cf per day in 2030. The project would consume approximately 1,660,536.13 cf/yr, and 0.07 percent of the 2031 forecasted consumption in SoCalGas's planning area. As such, the project would result in a long-term increase in demand for natural gas. However, the project would be designed to comply with Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Natural gas consumption would be appropriate and not place a significant burden on SoCal Gas services. Petroleum Petroleum is the largest U.S. energy source according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Petroleum products are used to fuel vehicles and produce electricity. U.S. Petroleum consumption in 2017 was primarily used by the transportation sector (71 percent). The industrial sector accounted for 24 percent petroleum consumption, the residential sector consumed 3 percent, commercial consumed 2 percent, and finally, electric power consumed 1 percent. California is the largest consumer of both jet fuel and motor gasoline among the 50 states and accounted for 17 percent of the nation's jet fuel consumption and 11 percent of motor gasoline consumption in 2019. C'omtruction Petroleum would be consumed throughout construction of the project. Fuel consumed by construction equipment would be the primarily energy resource expended over the course of construction, while VMT associated with the transportation of construction materials and construction worker commutes would also result in petroleum consumption. Heavy-duty equipment used for project construction would rely on diesel fuel, as would haul trucks involved in off -hauling materials from excavation. Construction workers are expected to travel to and from the project site in gasoline -powered passenger vehicles. There are no unusual project characteristics or construction processes that would require the use of equipment that would be more energy intensive that is used for comparable activities or use of equipment that would not conform to current emission standards (and related fuel efficiencies). Heavy-duty construction equipment of various types would be used during each phase of construction. CalEEMod was used to estimate construction equipment usage. In the analysis of the project the mitigated construction figures were used, based on the assumption that the project will implement applicable mitigation measures. Fuel consumption from construction equipment was estimated by converting the total CO2 emissions from each construction phase to gallons using the conversion factors shown in the following tables. Table VI-3, Construction Worker Gasoline Demand, illustrates the demand of gasoline fuel for construction worker trips to and from the site during each construction phase. Construction worker gasoline demand during each construction phase equals a total of 12,520.9 gallons of gasoline fuel. 210 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 53 Table VI-3 Construction Worker Gasoline Demand Phase Days Trips Miles VMT KgCO2e Kg/CO2/Gallon Gallons Demolition 20 15 18.5 5,550 1,960 8.89* 220.5 Site Preparation 10 17.5 18.5 3,237.5 1,140 8.89 128.2 Grading 20 15 18.5 5,550 1,960 8.89 220.5 Building Const. 230 68.9 18.5 293,169.5 102,600 8.89 11,541.1 Paving 20 15 18.5 5,550 1,900 8.89 213.7 Arch.

In total, the project will consume approximately 50,410.7 gallons of petroleum. Petroleum use is necessary to operate construction equipment. The energy used during the construction of the project would be limited to the development of the project and would not require long-term petroleum use. Additionally, there are no unusual project characteristics or construction processes that would require the use of equipment that would be more energy intensive that is used for comparable activities or use of equipment that would not conform to current emissions standards (and related fuel efficiencies). Thus, project construction would not consume petroleum in a wasteful or inefficient manner. Operation As previously mentioned, SPA No.3 allows the development of up to 95 multi -family units and associated amenities and improvements in PA2. According to the figures provided by the CalEEMod calculations, the multifamily development would have an estimated annual VMT of 1,125,787. The total mobile source CO2e is 449 MT per year, or 449,000 kg per year. CalEEMod assumes 92.5 percent of VMT burns gasoline, while the remaining 7.5 percent burn diesel. Thus, of the 449,000 kg of mobile emissions, 415,325 kg is generated by gasoline combustion and 33,675 kg is generated by diesel combustion. The multifamily development would have an annual gasoline demand of 46,718.2 gallons and an annual diesel demand of 3,308 gallons, as displayed in Table VI-8. Table VI-7, Operational Petroleum Demand Land Use Annual VMT Apartments Low Rise 1,125,787 Parking Lot 0 Total 1,125,787 Table VI-8 Operational Annual Petroleum Annual VMT Kg/CO2 Kg/CO2/Gallon Annual Gallons Gasoline 1,041,353 415,325 8.89 46,718.2 Diesel 84,434 33,678 10.18 3,308 Total Petroleum 50,026.2 During operation, the multifamily development would result in the consumption of petroleum -based fuels related to vehicular travel to and from the project site. According to the City's 2013 Greenhouse Gas Inventory, the community VMT was 509,372,317 VMTs in 2013. The proposed project will contribute approximately 1,125,787 VMTs annually, or 0.22 percent of the total annual VMT at City buildout. The proposed mixed -use development would result in reduced VMTs compared to the existing SPA No. 2 governing the site. The reduction of VMTs is a result of the introduction of residential uses adjacent to commercial uses. The adjacency of mixed uses allows residents to walk to the commercial businesses, rather than drive. As previously stated, the commercial uses within PA2 are approved as a part of the 212 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 55 Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 2. Should the residential uses proposed in SPA No. 3 be less favorable due to a change in the market, the commercial uses shall be developed. Over the lifetime of the project, the fuel efficiency of vehicles in use is expected to increase, as older vehicles are replaced with newer more efficient models. Therefore, it is expected that the amount of petroleum consumed due to the vehicle trips to and from the project site during operation would decrease over time. Additional advancement of technology includes the use of plug-in hybrid and zero emission vehicles in California, which will also decrease the amount of future petroleum consumed in the state. With the foregoing, operation of the project is expected to use decreasing amounts of petroleum over time, due to advances in fuel economy. Additionally, the proposed multifamily project is located in close proximity to existing medical facilities, a pharmacy, shopping center, and restaurants along Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The project would provide a pedestrian access network that internally links all uses and connects to all existing or planned external streets and pedestrian facilities contiguous with the project site. The project would minimize barriers to pedestrian access and interconnectivity. Given these considerations, petroleum consumption associated with the project operation would not be considered excessive. In conclusion, the project would increase demand for energy in the project area and in the service areas of IID and SoCalGas. However, based on the findings described above, project construction and operation are not anticipated to result in potentially significant impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation. b) Less than Significant Impact. SPA No. 3 to allow commercial retail (Option 1) or mixed -use development (Option 2) within the Specific Plan area. Currently, PA2 occupies approximately 5.1 acres of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan and operates as a parking lot associated with the existing commercial buildings to the north. To ensure the conservation of energy, the state of California and the City of La Quinta implements various regulations to be more energy efficient and reduce the amount of GHG emissions. As previously stated, the project will include a variety of building, water, and solid waste efficiencies consistent with the current CALGreen requirements, low -flow fixtures and efficient landscaping per State requirements. The project will also be required to recycle a minimum of 50 percent from construction activities per State and City requirements. The project will comply with state -implemented building standards such as those outlined in Title 20 and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. As stated in the previous discussion, project -related petroleum consumption and VMTs during operation of the project are not anticipated to increase since the project would provide mixed uses (i.e., commercial and residential) adjacent to each other. Construction -related electricity, natural gas, and petroleum use, and operational electricity and natural gas consumption are not anticipated to be significant. Construction activities would require the use of equipment that would be no more energy intensive than what is used for comparable activities. Construction equipment will comply with the Tier 3 program engines or higher. The project is in close proximity to commercial land uses along Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The project will provide a pedestrian access network that internally links all uses and connects to all exiting or planned external streets and pedestrian facilities contiguous with the project site. The implementation of these project features will assist in reducing potential project -related VMTs. The project property will comply with all applicable State and local guidelines and regulations regarding energy efficient building design and standards. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to conflict or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. Less than significant impacts are expected.

Setting: Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was enacted in 1972 to prohibit the location of developments and structures for human occupancy across the trace of active faults. To assist with this, the State Geologist delineates appropriately wide earthquake fault zones (Alquist-Priolo Zones) to encompass potentially and recently active traces, which are submitted to city and county agencies to be incorporated into their land use planning and construction policies. A trace is a line on the earth's surface defining a fault, and an active fault is defined as one that has ruptured in the last 11,000 years. The minimum distance a structure for human occupancy can be placed from an active fault is generally fifty feet. Seismic Hazard Mapping Act The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (SHMA) of 1990 directs the Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey to identify and map areas prone to earthquake hazards of liquefaction, earthquake -induced landslides and amplified ground shaking. The purpose of the SHMA is to reduce the threat to public safety and to minimize the loss of life and property by identifying and mitigating these seismic hazards. 214 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 57 The SHMA requires the State Geologist to establish regulatory zones (Zones of Required Investigation) and to issue appropriate maps (Seismic Hazard Zone maps). These maps are distributed to all affected cities, counties, and state agencies for their use in planning and controlling construction and development. Single family frame dwellings up to two stories not part of a development of four or more units are exempt from the state requirements. However, local agencies can be more restrictive than state law requires. California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (California Building Standard Code) The California Building Standards Commission operates within the Department of General Services and is charged with the responsibility to administer the process of approving and adopting building standards for publication in the California Building Standards Code (Cal. Code Regs., Title 24). These regulations include provisions for site work, demolition, and construction, which include excavation and grading, as well as provisions for foundations, retaining walls, and expansive and compressible soils. The California Building Code also provides guidelines for building design to protect occupants from seismic hazards. The City of La Quinta Building Division currently uses the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) in the plan check process and in field inspections. The City's Building Division will use the latest CBC in effect at the time of application for building permits for the project site are submitted. South Coast Air Quality Management District The main source of pollution from grading and construction activities is fugitive dust, which is particulate matter that is suspended in the air by direct or indirect human activities. Two South Coast AQMD rules were adopted with the purpose of reducing the amount of fugitive dust entrained as a result of human activities. Rule 403 applies to any activity capable of generating fugitive dust. Rule 403.1 is supplemental to Rule 403 and applies only to fugitive dust sources in Coachella Valley. Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust) requires the implementation of best available dust control measures (BACM) during active operations capable of generating fugitive dust. Rule 403.1 (Supplemental Fugitive Dust Control Requirements for Coachella Valley Sources) is a supplemental rule to Rule 403 and is applicable to man-made sources of fugitive dust in Coachella Valley. The purpose of this rule is to reduce fugitive dust and resulting PM10 emissions from man-made sources in the Coachella Valley. Rule 403.1 requires a Fugitive Dust Control Plan approved by South Coast AQMD or an authorized local government agency prior to initiating any construction/ earth -moving activity. Paleontological Resources Paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of ancient plants and animals. They occur in older soils which have been deposited in the Valley over millions of years. Exhibit 111-5, Paleontological Sensitivity Map in the 2035 La Quinta General Plan (LQGP), designates the project site in Dune Sand which has "undetermined" paleontological sensitivity. a) i. No Impact. Seismicity is a general term relating to the abrupt release of accumulated strain energy in the rock materials of the earth's crust in a given geographical area. The reoccurrence of accumulation and subsequent release of strain have resulted in faults and fault systems (Krazan & Associates, Inc., 2007). The City of La Quinta, similar to most of Southern California, is susceptible to seismic activity due to the various active faults that traverse the area. The La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update (GPU) notes four faults with the potential to have a severe impact in the City. These faults include the San Andreas, San Jacinto, Burnt Mountain and Elsinore Faults. The closest Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone to the project site is the San Andreas Fault, approximately 3.75 miles northeast of the subject property. Conclusively, the project site is not located on an active fault or within the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. 215 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 58 Therefore, there will be no impact associated with ground rupture within an active fault zone. Mitigation: None ii. Less than Significant Impact. Seismically induced ground shaking is the most potentially significant geotechnical hazard, according to the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update (2035 GPU). Regional faults, including the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault zones, have the potential to generate moderate to severe ground shaking in the planning area. Factors that determine the effect of ground motion and the degree of structural damage that may occur include intensity of the earthquake, distance between epicenter and site, soil and bedrock composition, depth to groundwater, presence of ridge tops, and building design and other criteria (La Quinta 2035 GPU). As stated in the previous discussion, the project site is located approximately 3.75 miles southwest of the closest active fault zone, the San Andreas Fault. The project site is likely to be subjected to moderate to strong ground motion from earthquakes in the region. The proposed development will be constructed in a manner that reduces the risk of seismic hazards (Title 24, California Code of Regulations). The project shall comply with the most current seismic design coefficients and ground motion parameters and all applicable provisions of the CBC, specifically Chapter 16 of the CBC, Structural Design, Section 1613, Earthquake Loads, as well as City Municipal Code Section 8.02.010. Section 8.02.010 adopts the 2022 CBC for regulating the construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal and demolition of every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or structures. Site work will be conducted in accordance with the geotechnical and soils analyses required with the submittal of grading and building plans. Foundation and structural design of the site would reduce exposure of people or structures to adverse effects to the greatest extent possible. Per the geotechnical report, site preparation shall include remedial grading, overexcavation and recompaction of the project area. Overexcavation and recompaction will reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the buildings and other foundations. Overexcavation and recompaction should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve inches below existing grades. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should be determined by professional field representative during construction. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading shall be removed and replaced with engineered fill, as recommended by Krazan & Associates, Inc. With the implementation of appropriate building codes and recommendations provided in the project geotechnical and soil analyses, which includes overexcavation and recompaction in building and foundation areas and proposed parking areas impacts related to strong seismic shaking at the project site will be less than significant. Mitigation: None iii. Less than Significant Impact. Soil liquefaction is a state of soil particles suspension caused by a complete loss of strength when the effective stress drops to zero. Liquefaction normally occurs under saturated conditions in soils such as sand in which the strength is purely frictional. However, liquefaction has occurred in soils other than clean sand. Liquefaction usually occurs under vibratory conditions such as those induced by seismic events (Krazan & Associates, Inc., 2007). Per the Seismic Hazards Map in the La Quinta GPU, the project site is not located in an area with moderate or high liquefaction susceptibility, due to the lack of shallow groundwater in the area. The project -specific Geotechnical Engineering Investigation determined that the soils beneath the site consist predominately of dense and stiff materials, and groundwater is expected to be a depth of greater than 50 feet. Therefore, it was concluded that the potential for liquefaction is considered to be low based on the absence of shallow groundwater and the relatively dense and stiff materials underlying the site. Although the project property 216 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 59 is not expected to be impacted by liquefaction, the improvement plans shall adhere to the most recent standard design requirements stated in the California Building Code (CBC) and the City's building standards to ensure the safety of the project against seismically induced hazards. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None iv. No Impact. As discussed previously, the City of La Quinta, like most of Southern California, is susceptible to seismic ground shaking due to the multiple faults in the region. As a result of seismic ground shaking, secondary effects such as slope failures, rockfalls and landslides may occur in the City, especially throughout elevated areas. Landslides and rockfall can occur when unstable slope conditions are worsened by strong ground motion caused by seismic events. Typically, landslides have been recorded after periods of heavy rainfall, and rockfalls are associated with slope failure during drier periods. Conditions that lead to landslide vulnerability include high seismic potential, and rockfall and rockslides are common on very steep slopes. The project site is located in the northern portion of the City of La Quinta. The site is not located adjacent to slopes. The nearest hillsides and mountainous slopes are approximately 1.90 miles southwest of the property. Due to the lack of slopes in the project's proximity, the project site is not susceptible to rockfalls, soil block slides and soil slumps, as designated by the Seismic Hazards Map (Exhibit IV-3) in the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update. No impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. The site will be subject to wind and water erosion during construction. According to the La Quinta General Plan, wind erosion is influenced by factors such as climate, topography, soil and rock types, and vegetation. The Coachella Valley is subject to infrequent but often powerful storms that generate high rates of erosion, especially in areas where the soil is not stabilized by vegetation. Erosion, especially in the form of PM 10, is a concern in the Coachella Valley because it leads to sediment transport and re -deposition as well as health issues and property damage. The Wind Erosion Susceptibility Map (Exhibit IV-5) in the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update specifies that the project site is located in an area with a very high Wind Erodibility Rating. SPA No. 3 allows the development of PA2 consisting of up to 95 multifamily units or commercial retail spaces. Development will also include paved driveways and associated improvements, landscaped features, and pedestrian walkways. The project site has been previously graded and operates as a paved parking lot associated with the Jefferson Square Shopping Center. The construction of this project will involve ground disturbing activities, such as the clearing and grubbing of existing landscaping, and grading of the property. These activities may increase the potential of soil erosion at the time of development. Therefore, consistent with the City's and SCAQMD's requirements, the project shall implement a Fugitive Dust Control Plan. The Fugitive Dust Control Plan requires the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) such as the use of perimeter fencing, applying adhesive dust suppressant, or watering the project site. The project property shall implement the BMPs outlined within their project -specific PM10 Plan during construction of the project site. Refer to the Air Quality section of this environmental document for further information on the Fugitive Dust Control Plan. In addition to the Fugitive Dust Control Plan, projects one acre in size or larger are required to comply with the most current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit (CGP) (Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ as amended by 2010-0014-DWQ and 2012-0006-DWQ) as it relates to surface water erosion during construction. Compliance with the CGP involves the development and implementation of a project -specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which is designed to reduce potential adverse impacts to surface water quality during the period of construction. The required 217 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 60 plan will identify the locations and types of construction activities requiring BMPs and other necessary compliance measures to prevent soil erosion and stormwater runoff pollution. The plan will also identify the limits of allowable construction -related disturbance to prevent any exceedances or violations. Waterborne erosion and the City's Standard Conditions are thoroughly discussed in the Hydrology and Water Quality Section of the document. The implementation of the Fugitive Dust Control Plan, and the SWPPP (outlined above, and further discussed in the Air Quality and Hydrology Sections of this document) will ensure that impacts from erosion created from the project site will be less than significant. Mitigation: None c) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Web Soil Survey Map, the project's soil types primarily consist of Myoma fine sand (MaD and MaB). MaD and MaB sands are somewhat excessively drained with a very low runoff class. As discussed previously, in section a) iii., liquefaction occurs when ground shaking of relatively long duration and intensity causes loose, unconsolidated soils to act like a liquid and lose strength. For liquefaction to occur in an area, the groundwater would have to be within 50 feet of the surface. The project site is not located in an area susceptible to liquefaction due to the lack of shallow groundwater. Due to the lack of shallow groundwater, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. As discussed in section a) iv., the project site is not located near slopes. The topography at the project site and surrounding area is relatively flat. Therefore, the project site is not located adjacent to an area susceptible rockfalls, soil block slides and soil slumps. Therefore, impacts from landslides or rockfall are not expected. Ground subsidence is the gradual settling or sinking of the ground surface with little or no horizontal movement. It is caused by both human activities (i.e., groundwater extraction) and natural activities (i.e., earthquakes) and can cause regional damage. According to the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, the only recorded subsidence induced fissures in the Coachella Valley occurred in La Quinta in 1948, near the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, at the south end of the City. The Safety Element in the Riverside County General Plan indicates that the project site is situated in an area susceptible to ground subsidence due to regional withdrawal of groundwater. The potential for area ground subsidence is a regional issue that could possibly impact the City of La Quinta; monitoring conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), CVWD and others shows that subsidence rates in the Coachella Valley have been increasing rapidly over the past several decades. CVWD has implemented a variety of measures, such as groundwater recharge, imported water, and water conservation techniques and programs to minimize the extraction of groundwater. Although subsidence has been recorded in La Quinta, the project site is not located near areas where subsidence historically occurred. Although a majority of the Specific Plan area is currently developed with commercial buildings, retention basins, and parking lots. Krazan & Associates visited the site in 2022 observing the weathered condition of the subgrade at the existing vacant pads in PA2. The near surface soils were found to possess varying in - place densities and moisture contents. Therefore, Krazan & Associates recommended remedial grading (conducted in compliance with City standards), overexcavation and recompaction at the building foundation and parking areas to ensure the subsurface conditions are suitable for the proposed multifamily buildings and parking. This is required as Mitigation Measure GEO-1. Grading plans and structural engineering plans will be reviewed and approved by the City. The project will be conditioned to comply with the current California Building Code (CBC) standards, City requirements, and Mitigation Measures GEO-1 requiring a project -specific Geotechnical Engineering Investigation and 218 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 61 Update Report to reduce the impacts of potentially unstable soils; therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: GEO-L Overexcavation and Recompaction — Building and Foundation Areas To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the buildings and other foundations, overexcavation and recomposition within the proposed building footprint areas should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should be determined by the geotechnical field experts during construction. The exposed subgrade at the base of the overexcavation should then be scarified, moisture -conditioned as necessary, and compacted. The overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally five feet (5') beyond edges of the proposed footing or building limits. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. This will apply to Buildings 1, 4, 5, and 6. For Building 2 and 3, recommendations presented on the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation should be followed. Overexcavation and Recompaction — Proposed Parking Areas To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the proposed parking and drive areas, overexcavation and recompaction of the near surface soil in the proposed parking area should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades or proposed subgrade, whichever is deeper. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally at least three (3) feet beyond edges of the proposed paving limits or to the property boundary. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. Any buried structures encountered during construction should be properly removed and the resulting excavations backfilled with Engineered Fill, compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density based on ASTM Test Method D1557. Excavations, depressions, or soft and pliant areas extending below planned finished subgrade levels should be cleaned to firm, undisturbed soils and backfilled with Engineered Fill. Concrete footings should be removed to an equivalent depth of at least 3 feet below proposed footing elevations or as recommended by the Soils Engineer. Any other buried structures encountered, should be removed in accordance with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer. The resulting excavations should be backfilled with Engineered Fill. A representative of a professional geotechnical firm should be present during all site clearing and grading operations to test and observe earthwork construction. This testing and observation is an integral part of the service as acceptance of earthwork construction is dependent upon compaction of the material and the stability of the material. The soils engineer may reject any material that does not meet compaction and stability requirements. d) No Impact. Expansive soils, as defined by the Riverside County General Plan, have a significant amount of clay particles which can give up water (shrink) or take on water (swell). The change in volume exerts stress on buildings and other loads placed on these soils, making them potentially hazardous. These soils can also be widely dispersed, occurring in both hillside areas and low-lying alluvial basins. In the City, soils include alluvial sand and gravel with fine-grained lakebed deposits such as silts and clays in the southern portion of the City. As previously stated, Myoma fine sand occurs on the project site, which has a low shrink -swell potential. Therefore, no impact associated with expansive soils will occur. 219 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 62 Mitigation: None e) No Impact. The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) provides the City of La Quinta with sanitary sewer collection and treatment, and according to the 2035 General Plan Update, most of the City is served by sewer. The proposed project is currently served by water and sewer and connects to existing infrastructure. The project proposes to connect with the existing sewer infrastructure to provide sewer to the residential units. For further discussion, consult the Utilities Section of this document. Septic tanks are not proposed, and no impacts are expected. Mitigation: None f) Less than Significant Impact. According to the La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of ancient plants and animals. They occur in older soils which have been deposited in the Valley over millions of years. Exhibit III-5, Paleontological Sensitivity Map in the 2035 GPU, designates the site in an area with an "undetermined" amount of paleontological sensitivity. However, Exhibit 111-5 also determines that recent dune sand is the primary soil type that is present at the project site. Dune sand varies in depth and could overlay older alluvium at depth. This soil type has a low potential for paleontological resources due to its recent transport into the area. Moreover, the site is currently developed as a paved parking lot and is not recognized as a unique paleontological or a unique geologic feature. No known paleontological sites have been found within the site during previous construction. The potential for uncovering any significant resources during construction activities is unlikely, since the site has already been cleared, graded, and significantly disturbed from the construction of the existing development. Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS -- Significant Significant Significant Impact Would the project: Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant ❑ ❑ ® ❑ impact on the environment? b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the ❑ ❑ ® ❑ emissions of greenhouse gases? Sources: California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), Version 2022.1.; California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2020, Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators, 2022 Edition, California Air Resources Board; California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2019, Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators, 2021 Edition, California Air Resources Board; Release No. 18-37 & 19-35, California Air Resources Board Press Release, July 2018 and August 2019 Setting: Summary of Local and Statewide Greenhouse Gas Regulations and Trends: Greenhouse gases (GHG) are a group of gases that trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from becoming too cold and uninhabitable. Common greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons to a lesser extent. Carbon dioxide is the main GHG thought to contribute to climate change. Carbon dioxide reflects solar radiation back to Earth, thereby trapping solar energy and heat within the lower atmosphere. Human activities (such as burning carbon -based fossil fuels) create water vapor and CO2 as byproducts, thereby impacting the levels of GHG in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) is a metric used to compare emissions of various greenhouse gases. It is the mass of carbon dioxide that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as a given mass of another greenhouse gas. To address the long-term adverse impacts associated with global climate change, California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) requires California Air Resource Board (CARB) to reduce statewide emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. In 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 32 (SB32) that requires California to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. With the passage of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32) in California, environmental documents for projects pursuant to CEQA are required to analyze greenhouse gases and assess the potential significance and impacts of GHG emissions. California's annual statewide GHG emission inventory is a relevant tool for tracking California's progress in reducing GHGs and achieving the statewide GHG target. The GHG inventory relies on data collected through various California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) programs. On July 11, 2018, CARB announced in a press release (No. 18-37) that greenhouse gas pollution in California fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004, an achievement roughly equal to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year. Moreover, according to the CARB report on California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2017 (published in 2019), which tracks the trends of GHG emissions, California's GHG emissions have followed a declining trend between 2007 and 2017. In 2017, emissions from GHG emitting activities statewide were 424 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MMTCO2e), 5 MMTCO2e lower than 2016 levels and 7 MMTCO2e below the 2020 GHG Limit of 431 MMTCO2e. The data also show that for the first time since California started to track GHG emissions, the state power grid used more energy from zero-GHG sources like solar and wind power than from electrical generation powered by fossil fuels. On July 28, 2021, CARB announced via Press Release No. 21-34 that state Greenhouse Gas Inventory shows emissions have continued to drop below 2020 target, which is a return to the 1990 GHG levels. The target was achieved four years ahead of schedule in 2016. On October 26, 2022, CARB published the California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2020, Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators. Based on this report, in 2020, emissions from GHG emitting activities statewide 221 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 64 were 369.2 million MMTCO2e, 35.3 MMTCO2e lower than 2019 levels and 61.8 MMTCO2e below the 2020 GHG Limit of 431 MMTCO2e. The 2019 to 2020 decrease in emissions was deemed likely due in large part to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic recovery from the pandemic may result in emissions increases over the next few years. As such, the total 2020 reported emissions are likely an anomaly, and any near -term increases in annual emissions should be considered in the context of the pandemic. South Coast Air Quality Management District: On December 5, 2008, the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted the staff proposal for an interim GHG significance threshold for projects where the SCAQMD is lead agency. A threshold for projects where SCAQMD is not the lead agency has not been adopted. The City of La Quinta also has not adopted a GHG numeric threshold of significance. From the interim GHG guidance, a GHG emission level of 3,000 MTCO2e has traditionally served as measure to distinguish small projects that can be screened out while achieving the emission capture rate of 90 percent for all new or modified projects subject to environmental review. According to the SCAQMD guidance, the 90 percent emission capture rate sets the emission threshold low enough to capture a substantial fraction of future stationary source projects that will be constructed to accommodate future statewide population and economic growth, while setting the emission threshold high enough to exclude small projects that will in aggregate contribute a relatively small fraction of the cumulative statewide GHG emissions. This assertion is based on estimates that these GHG emissions would account for less than one percent of future 2050 statewide GHG emissions target (85 MMTCO2eq per year). In addition, these small projects would be subject to future applicable GHG control regulations that would further reduce their overall future contribution to the statewide GHG inventory. For reference, the other screening associated with GHG significance thresholds involves an interim tiered approach summarized as follows: • Tier 1 consists of evaluating whether or not the project qualifies for any applicable exemption under CEQA. • Tier 2 consists of determining whether the project is consistent with a GHG reduction plan. If a project is consistent with a qualifying local GHG reduction plan, it does not have significant GHG emissions. • Tier 3 consists of screening values, which the lead agency can choose, but must be consistent with all projects within its jurisdiction. A project's construction emissions are averaged over 30 years and are added to the project's operational emissions. If a project's emissions are below one of the following screening thresholds, then the project is less than significant: o Residential and Commercial land use: 3,000 MTCO2e/yr o Industrial land use: 10,000 MTCO2e/yr o Based on land use type: residential: 3,500 MTCO2e/yr; commercial: 1,400 MTCO2e/yr; or mixed use: 3,000 MTCO2e/yr • Tier 4 has the following options: o Option 1: Reduce Business -as -Usual (BAU) emissions by a certain percentage; this percentage is currently undefined. o Option 2: Early implementation of applicable AB 32 Scoping Plan measures o Option 3: 2020 target for service populations (SP), which includes residents and employees: 4.8 MTCO2e/SP per year for projects and 6.6 MTCO2e per SP per year for plans; o Option 3, 2035 target: 3.0 MTCO2e/SP per year for projects and 4.1 MTCO2e per service population per year for plans • Tier 5 involves mitigation offsets to achieve target significance threshold. City of La Quinta Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan: 222 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 65 In 2012, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan was prepared as part of the City's General Plan Update, drawing input from utility providers and various technical studies to conduct the community wide and government specific greenhouse gas inventory. The inventory established a baseline year of 2005, then projected future year emissions based on 2005 emission levels. The reduction targets identified in the Plan are consistent with AB 32 and a goal to reduce CO2e emissions to 10 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2035. The La Quinta GHG Reduction Plan was established in compliance with AB 32 and EO S-3-05, in order to reduce the amount of GHG emissions produced in the City. Using AB 32 and EO 5-3-05 as a guide, the GHG Reduction Plan established policies and programs in order for the City to achieve the reduction expectations. According to the GHG Reduction Plan, new development is required to adhere to the latest building code standards, which assure energy efficiency and incorporate passive and active design features intended to benefit the overall operating efficiency of new buildings. a) Less Than Significant Impact. Although the City of La Quinta does not have an adopted GHG numeric threshold of significance, for analysis purposes, the GHG level of 3,000 MTCO2e was used in this analysis as the initial screening level for determining significant impacts. CalEEMod 2022.1 was used to calculate the proposed project's GHG emission levels by taking into account the proposed land development parameters (land uses and facility dimensions) as inputs to the software model. These inputs included 95 low-rise apartment units and up to 200 parking spaces. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Land Use Code (220) and daily trip generation rate of 6.74 trips per unit are consistent with the Traffic Memorandum for this project. The associated household size of 2.37 persons per household is based on the most current CA Department of Finance E-5 data for La Quinta available at the time of preparation. Construction -related GHG emissions were amortized over a 30-year period and added to the proj ect's annual operational GHG emissions. The operational GHG emissions can be attributed to area sources, mobile sources, solid wastes and water supply, treatment and distribution of the proposed operations. For comparison purposes, a separate CalEEMod analysis was performed for the unbuilt commercial uses previously approved in proposed PA2 area under the governing Specific Plan and associated amendments. Consistent with the traffic memorandum, these uses include a home improvement store of 42,527 square feet and strip retail uses of 48,002 square feet. The SPA allows either development of residential units, or development of the previously approved commercial uses. Table VIII-1 summarizes the estimated GHG emissions resulting from the proposed residential project to compare against the screening level. The table also includes the estimated GHG emissions associated with the development of commercial uses on the site. Table VIII-1 Comparison of Total Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated with the Proposed Project and Approved Uses Emission Source Emissions Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e) per year Total MTCO2e Total MTCO2e (All Sources) for Residential Project 646.43 Screening Level 3,000 MTCO2e Screening Level Exceeded? NO Total MTCO2e (All Sources) for Commercial Project 3,460.16 Screening Level 3,000 MTCO2e Screening Level Exceeded? YES Note: Emission levels for each project component account for amortized construction emissions (30-year time frame), area, energy, mobile, aste, and water usage sources respectively. 223 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 66 As shown in Table VIII-1 resulting from the CaIEEMod calculations, the proposed residential project is expected to generate approximately 646.43 MTCO2e per year from construction, area, energy, mobile sources, waste, and water usage sources. Therefore, the residential project GHG emissions would not exceed the pertinent screening level of 3,000 MTCO2e per year and at such scale, would not be expected to interfere with the plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. For comparison and using the same software methodology, the commercial uses would be expected to result in approximately 3,460 MTCO2e per year based on the construction, area, energy, mobile sources, waste, and water usage sources potentially attributed to such uses. The commercial project option would exceed the criteria, but would meet SCAQMD's criteria for projects constructed under an adopted Climate Action Plan. The policies and programs under the La Quinta GHG Reduction Plan aimed at emissions reductions for new development through meeting to the latest building code standards to increase energy efficiency of new buildings will be met by the project through compliance with all Title 24 energy efficiency standards. As a measure of sustainability, the proposed development contemplates the implementation of electric vehicle chargers and solar panel systems, which combined with the use of new, high efficiency appliances and mechanical HVAC systems, and high efficiency windows, would increase the dwelling unit or commercial space energy efficiency. Since the project, regardless of its uses, will be subject to the requirements of the City's GHG Reduction Plan, impacts will be less than significant. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. California statewide GHG emissions dropped below the 2020 GHG Limit in 2016 and have remained below the 2020 GHG Limit since then, generally dropping since 2004. In 2019, emissions from GHG emitting activities statewide were 418.1 MMTCO2e, 7.1 MMTCO2e lower than 2018 levels and almost 13 MMTCO2e below the 2020 GHG limit of 431 MMTCO2e. The 2021 report also indicates that transportation emissions had continued to decline in 2019 as they had done in 2018, with even more substantial reductions due to a significant increase in renewable diesel (up 61 percent from 2018), making diesel fuel bio-components (biodiesel and renewable diesel) 27 percent of total on -road diesel sold in California. Total electric power emissions decreased by almost 7 percent in 2019, due to a continuing increase in renewable energy, including a 46 percent increase in available hydropower in 2019. Transportation is the largest emitter of GHGs; therefore, the City recognizes that fuel efficiency standards, land use efficiencies, and reducing overall VMTs will result in the reduction of GHGs. The City established general goals, policies, and programs to reduce emissions from the transportation sector at a local level. The policies and programs are intended to reduce dependence on personal motor vehicles and encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, cycling and walking. For example, implementation measure New Development (ND) 6, regarding transportation, requires that all new development in the City accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists by (1) including facilities for safe and convenient bicycle parking from non-resident and multi -family development, and (2) considering access routes for pedestrians and bicycles. The project will conform to this implementation measure by incorporating dedicated bicycle parking and pedestrian walkways. In summary, the project is not expected to conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. Less than significant impacts are anticipated.

Setting: Hazardous Materials The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR Title 40, Part 261) defines hazardous materials based on ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, and/or toxicity properties. The State of California defines hazardous materials as substances that are toxic, ignitable, or flammable, reactive and/or corrosive, which have the capacity of causing harm or a health hazard during normal exposure or an accidental release. As a result, the use and management of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances is regulated under existing federal, state, and local laws. Hazardous Waste The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) simply defines hazardous waste as a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment. Hazardous waste is generated from sources ranging from industrial manufacturing process wastes to batteries and may come in many forms, including liquids, solids, gases, and sludges. These can include everyday commercial products, such as pesticides, cleaning fluids, and household sprays, as well as byproducts of manufacturing processes. A hazardous material may become hazardous waste upon its accidental release into the environment. All hazardous wastes must be discharged into a Class I landfill. No Class I landfill is currently operated within Riverside County. 225 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 68 Hazardous Waste generated within Riverside County and disposed of in Kern County or Santa Barbara County, where active Class I landfills are located. Some waste is also transported out of the State. Many types of businesses can be producers of hazardous waste. Small businesses such as dry cleaners, auto repair shops, medical facilities or hospitals, photo processing centers, and metal plating shops are usually generators of small quantities of hazardous wastes. Generators of large quantities of hazardous waste include chemical manufacturers, large electroplating facilities, and petroleum refineries. All significant spills, releases or threatened releases of hazardous materials must be immediately reported. In the City of La Quinta, hazardous materials are limited to small quantity generators (those generating less than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month), ranging from individual households to service stations and medical clinics. Household hazardous waste can be disposed of properly through Household Hazardous Waste disposal events, or at a network of "ABOP" facilities operated by the Riverside County Waste Management Department. An ABOP — or Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil, Paint — facility is located in Palm Springs, at 1100 Vella Road, and accepts these materials, as well as electronic waste. Household Hazardous Waste disposal events are held periodically at varying locations throughout the County, including cities in the Coachella Valley. Adverse environmental impacts can occur when household hazardous materials are disposed of in unlined sanitary landfills, where these materials may leach through the soil and contaminate groundwater. Local Schools The project site is located within the boundary of the Desert Sands Unified School District. The closest school is the John Glenn Middle School, located approximately 0.40 miles northeast of the project site at 79655 Miles Avenue. Public Airports/Private Airstrips The Palm Springs International Airport is located approximately 14.20 miles to the northwest of the project, and the Bermuda Dunes Airport is located approximately 1.10 miles north of the project. Additionally, the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is located approximately 8.70 miles southeast of the project site. a-b) Less than Significant Impact. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR Title 40, Part 261) defines hazardous materials based on ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, and/or toxicity properties. The State of California defines hazardous materials as substances that are toxic, ignitable or flammable, reactive and/or corrosive, which have the capacity of causing harm or a health hazard during normal exposure or an accidental release. As a result, the use and management of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances is regulated under existing federal, state and local laws. Hazardous wastes require special handling and disposal methods to reduce their potential to damage public health and the environment. Manufacturer's specifications dictate the proper use, handling, and disposal methods for the specific substances. In most cases, it is a violation of Federal or State law to improperly store, apply, transport, or dispose of hazardous materials and waste. Hazardous waste could occur within the Specific Plan area during construction and operation. Construction Construction of the proposed project is expected to involve the temporary management and use of oils, fuels and other potentially flammable substances. The nature and quantities of these products would be limited to what is necessary to carry out construction of the project. Some of these materials would be transported to the site periodically by vehicle and would be stored in designated controlled areas on a short- term basis. When handled properly by trained individuals and consistent with the manufacturer's instructions and industry standards, the risk involved with handling these materials is considerably reduced. The contractor will be required to identify a controlled staging area within the project limits for storing materials and equipment. The contractor will also be required to implement best management practices (BMPs) to ensure that impacts are minimized and that any minor spills are immediately and properly remediated. 226 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 69 Furthermore, to prevent a threat to the environment during construction, the management of potentially hazardous materials and other potential pollutant sources will be regulated, in part, through the implementation of measures required in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the project. The SWPPP requires a list of potential pollutant sources and the identification of construction areas where additional control measures are necessary to prevent pollutants from being released on -site or into the surroundings. Best management practices (BMPs) are necessary for proper material delivery and storage; material use; and spill prevention and control. For example, all construction materials, including paints, solvents, and petroleum products, must be stored in controlled areas and according to the manufacturer's specifications. In addition, perimeter controls (fencing with wind screen), linear sediment barriers (gravel bags, fiber rolls, or silt fencing), and access restrictions (gates) would help prevent temporary impacts. With such standard measures in place, less than significant impacts are anticipated during construction. Operation The SPA No. 3 allows the development of up to 95 multifamily units with associated parking or 47,500 square feet of commercial retail with associated parking on approximately 5.10 acres in PA2. The nature of residential buildings is not expected to involve, as a primary activity, the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials in quantities or a manner that would pose a threat to the project and its surroundings or create a significant hazard through a foreseeable accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The operation of residential units will not store or use large amounts of hazardous materials. The handling, application, and storage of cleaning agents, building maintenance products, paints, solvents and other related substances is expected to occur within the project. The handling, storage, and use of these materials would be similar to those used if PA2 was developed with the commercial uses currently approved in the Specific Plan. However, these materials would not be present in sufficient quantities to pose a significant hazard to public health and safety, or the environment. As stated in the Environmental Assessment 2002-462, supporting the commercial retail development plan proposed in SPA No. 2, the commercial retail project would include typical commercial development found in a neighborhood shopping center. Should any of the businesses wish to store or transport hazardous waste, they will be required to secure all necessary permits from the Riverside County Health Department and other agencies, as needed, to allow for such storage or transport. The standards imposed by these agencies will lower the potential impacts associated with hazardous materials to a less than significant level. Project construction and operation is expected to result in less than significant impacts. Mitigation: None c) No Impact. The project site is not located within '/4 mile of an existing or proposed school. The closest school to the project site is John Glenn Middle School, located approximately 0.40 miles southwest of the project. Therefore, no impacts are expected. Mitigation: None d) No Impact. Pursuant to Government Code 65962.5 and its subsections, record searches on the project property were performed within multiple database platforms. The resources consulted included GeoTracker, EnviroStor and the EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO). In September 2022, a search was performed on all three database platforms. The three consulted databases did not list any facilities related to the project site. The three databases, however, recorded sites within one mile of the project property. The results are described below. 227 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 70 The GeoTracker database listed one registered Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Cleanup Site within one mile of the project site. One registered LUST Site is listed as Apple Market #5 located at 80631 Indio Boulevard, approximately 1.0-mile northeast of the project site. The registered site is listed as "Completed, Case Closed" as of 2008. The registered facility will not affect the project site due to its distance from the project, and its status of "Completed -Case Closed." The search results in the EnviroStor database listed one School Investigation site within a mile of the project property. The School Investigation site includes the Hopkins Night School Extension Property, approximately one -mile southwest of the project site. The facility has a status of "Inactive — Withdrawn" as of 2003, according to the EnviroStor database. The ECHO database listed two facilities within a one -mile radius of the project site. The closest registered facility is CVS Pharmacy #3341, located at 44075 Jefferson Street. This site lies within the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area and is registered in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as an active large quantity generator (LQG). The site currently does not have any violations. The other registered facility is La Quinta High School, at 79255 Westward Ho Drive. The site lies approximately 1.0 mile southwest of the project site. The site is registered as an active other facility by the RCRA. Both sites are listed within the database as not having an identified violation within the recorded three-year history. Therefore, the listed sites are not anticipated to impact the project. After the search of the three databases, it can be concluded that the registered facilities are not anticipated to affect the project site due to their distance to the site and their status as "Completed -Case Closed" or no violations. Overall, no impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None e) Less than Significant Impact. The closest airport to the project site is the Bermuda Dunes Airport, located approximately 1.15 miles northeast of the project. Planes will fly over the project intermittently when traveling to and from the airport, however, the project would not be impacted by the airport operations. The Bermuda Dunes Airport is a privately -owned facility. The airport particularly caters to corporate -type, twin - engine propeller aircraft, and small business jets. These aircrafts do not typically carry or emit hazardous materials to surrounding areas. The runway constraints and space to park aircraft both serve to prevent a high number of incoming and outgoing flights. Annually, the airport receives an average of 115 flights per day. Flights approaching and departing the Bermuda Dunes Airport may fly over the City and the project site with an intermittent frequency, however, it is not anticipated to result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. The project is located within Zone E of the Bermuda Dunes Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Therefore, the project is subject to review from the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). On July 13, 2023, ALUC reviewed the project as ZAP1091BD23 and found the SP2022-0004, TTM2022-0003, and SDP2022-0015, consistent with the 2004 Bermuda Dunes Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, subject to the conditions listed below: 1. Any outdoor lighting installed shall be hooded or shielded to prevent either the spillage of lumens or reflection into the sky. Outdoor lighting shall be downward facing. 2. The following uses shall be prohibited: a. Any use or activity which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red, white, green, or amber colors associated with airport operations toward an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or toward an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach 228 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 71 toward a landing at an airport, other than an FAA -approved navigational signal light or visual approach slope indicator. b. Any use or activity which would cause sunlight to be reflected towards an aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or towards an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach towards a landing at an airport. c. Any use or activity which would generate smoke or water vapor or which would attract large concentrations of birds, or which may otherwise affect safe air navigation within the area. Any use which would generate smoke or water vapor or which would attract large concentrations of birds, or which may otherwise affect safe air navigation within the area. (Such uses include landscaping utilizing water features, aquaculture, outdoor production of cereal grains, sunflower, and row crops, composting operations, wastewater management facilities, artificial marshes, trash transfer stations that are open on one or more sides, recycling centers containing putrescible wastes, construction and demolition debris facilities, fly ash disposal, and incinerators.) d. Any use which would generate electrical interference that may be detrimental to the operation of aircraft and/or aircraft instrumentation. e. Any use which results in a hazard to flight, including physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. The attached "Notice of Airport in Vicinity" shall be provided to all prospective purchasers and occupants of the property. 4. Any proposed stormwater basins or facilities shall be designed and maintained to provide for a maximum 48-hour detention period following the design storm, and remain totally dry between rainfalls. Vegetation in and around the basins that would provide food or cover for birds would be incompatible with airport operations and shall not be utilized in project landscaping. Trees shall be spaced so as to prevent large expanses of contiguous canopy, when mature. Landscaping in and around the basin(s) shall not include trees or shrubs that produce seeds, fruits, or berries. Landscaping in the stormwater basin, if not rip -rap, should be in accordance with the guidance provided in ALUC "LANDSCAPING NEAR AIRPORTS" brochure, and the "AIRPORTS, WILDLIFE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT" brochure available at RCALUC.ORG which list acceptable plants from Riverside County Landscaping Guide or other alternative landscaping as may be recommended by a qualified wildlife hazard biologist. A notice sign, In a form similar to that attached hereto, shall be permanently affixed to the stormwater basin with the following language: "There is an airport nearby. This stormwater basin is designed to hold stormwater for only 48 hours and not attract birds. Proper maintenance is necessary to avoid bird strikes". The sign will also include the name, telephone number or other contact information of the person or entity responsible to monitor the stormwater basin. As stated in the project -specific Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis by LSA (Appendix G), airport -related noise levels are primarily associated with aircraft engine noise made while aircraft are taking off, landing, or running their engines while still on the ground. The proposed project is located outside of the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour for the airport, therefore, the airport would not result in excessive noise for people residing in the area. Additionally, the Palm Springs International Airport is located approximately 14.20 miles to the northwest of the project, and the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is located approximately 8.70 miles southeast 229 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 72 of the project site. As a result, the project is located outside of the Palm Springs and Jacqueline Cochran airports' influence and planning area. Less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: None f) Less than Significant Impact. The Emergency Services Element of the La Quinta 2035 GPU addresses multiple components of the City's public safety services, including police and fire service, emergency medical response and emergency preparedness. The City of La Quinta is contracted for police services from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. The La Quinta Police Department is approximately 5 miles southwest of the proposed site. This Department provides service to an area of over 33 square miles and a population of over 38,075 residents. Fire services in the City of La Quinta are provided by three fire stations in the City including: Fire Station #32 at 78111 Avenue 52, Station #70 at 54001 Madison Street, and Station #93 at 44555 Adams Street. The closest fire station to the project is Station #93 is located approximately 0.90 miles northeast of the project. The Police and Fire Departments within the City rely on mutual aid agreements with neighboring jurisdictions to provide additional services when necessary. According to the City of La Quinta 2035 GPU, the City's primary tool in preparing for emergencies is its adopted Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The EOP establishes procedures and responsibilities for City personnel and acts as a guide for the City's response to emergencies. The EOP is managed by the Emergency Services Division Manager who is responsible for both planning and implementation of emergency response efforts and preparedness in the City. The Division coordinates with other local jurisdictions and the County of Riverside in emergency response training. The City also participates in the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) program, and FEMA's National Incident Management System (NIMS). Volunteer groups such as the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) all participate in emergency response during disasters or emergency situations. The project will be reviewed by City and Fire officials to ensure adequate fire service and safety as a result of project implementation. Moreover, as a standard condition, the project will implement its own emergency evacuation plan for each applicable area of the project. Regional emergency evacuation routes for the Coachella Valley include the Interstate 10 freeway and Highway 111. The project proposes no changes to any surrounding roadways, or any City evacuation route. Project implementation is not expected to interfere with the critical facilities, emergency transportation and circulation, emergency preparedness coordination. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None g) Less than Significant Impact. Currently, PA2 includes paved parking spaces and two graded pads, and PA1 consists of developed commercial uses. Existing land uses that surround the project include commercial structures east of the project, residential homes north and south of the project, and a neighborhood park west of the project. According to CALFIRE's Fire Hazard Severity Zones in State Responsible Areas Map, the project site is not located in a Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. In addition, CALFIRE's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) in Locally Responsible Areas (LRAs) Map indicates that the project is located in a Local, State/Federal non-VHFHSZ area. Therefore, impacts of exposing people or structures to a significant risk involving wildland fires are expected to be less than significant.

Setting: Summary of Regulatory Framework Relevant to Hydrology and Water Quality Hydrology refers to the occurrence, distribution, and movement of surface water, including water found in rivers and stormwater drainage systems. Stormwater particularly refers to the surface runoff and drainage resulting from rain events. Stormwater runoff and surface drainage patterns are determined by the soil conditions, topography, and associated gradients of the land. Surface water quality refers to selected physical, chemical, or biological characteristics found in stormwater in relation to existing standards. Groundwater is the water found underground in the voids in soil, sand, and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through aquifers. Groundwater supplies are naturally replenished, or recharged, by precipitation that seeps into the land's surface and by replenishment efforts made by local water agencies. The Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972 was enacted to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters by regulating the discharge of pollutants to waters of the U.S. from point sources. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) was enacted as a program under the CWA to regulate non -point source discharges from urban land runoff and other diffused sources that were also found to contribute to runoff pollution. Under CWA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delegated the NPDES program responsibility to various state, tribal, and territorial governments, enabling them to perform many of the 231 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 74 permitting, administrative, and enforcement aspects of the program. California is a delegated NPDES state and has authority to administer the NPDES program within its limits. The Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act (California Water Code section 13000 et seq.) is the principal law governing water quality regulation for surface waters in California and effectuates the delegated provisions of the federal CWA and its NPDES program. It has set forth a comprehensive program to protect water quality and the beneficial uses applicable to surface waters, wetlands, and ground water and to point and nonpoint sources of pollution. The Porter -Cologne Act establishes that, as a matter of policy, all the waters of the State shall be protected; all activities and factors affecting the quality of water shall be regulated to attain the highest water quality within reason; and that the state must be prepared to exercise its full power and jurisdiction to protect the quality of water in the state from degradation. The Porter -Cologne Act established the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and nine California Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs), including Region 7, Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board, which has jurisdiction in the City of La Quinta and project site. Under this framework, the Colorado River Basin Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) serves as the guiding document prepared, adopted, and maintained to identify the existing and potential beneficial uses of waters of the State and establish water quality objectives to protect these uses Section 13374 of the California Water Code (CWC), establishes "Waste Discharge Requirements" (WDRs) ,attained through a regulatory compliance process. Compliance with WDRs is achieved through the appropriate permit registration process under the applicable NPDES programs described in this section. At the regional level, the project is located within the Whitewater River Watershed, which is an and desert region encompassing approximately 1,645 square miles. Within this watershed, an area of approximately 367 square miles (22 percent) is regulated under the established Whitewater River Region Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit). The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD), Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), and the incorporated Coachella Valley cities, including La Quinta, have joint permittee responsibility for coordinating the regional MS4 Permit compliance programs and other activities aimed at reducing potential pollutants in urban runoff from land development construction, municipal, commercial, and industrial areas to the maximum extent possible. At the City level, hydrology and stormwater standards required for the control of drainage and floodwater flows are established in Section 13.24.120 (A) of the La Quinta Municipal Code and in La Quinta Engineering Bulletin #06-16 (Hydrology and Hydraulic Report Criteria for Storm Drain Systems). The City's stormwater regulations are designed to align with the MS4, NPDES, and CWA programs. The City's engineering review process ensures that improvement plans are reviewed for compliance with the City's requirements pertaining to grading, hydrology, and stormwater management prior to issuance of grading permits. Existing Drainage Conditions: The Jefferson Square Specific Plan (SP 2002-062) area includes approximately 10.27 acres at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive with existing commercial development. The project area encompasses two graded pads and improved parking lot surfaces in the proposed PA2 of the existing commercial plaza. The unbuilt pads were previously approved for commercial uses consisting of a home improvement store and retail uses. The Specific Plan Amendment provides for the development of either residential or commercial uses in PA2. The Site Development Permit proposes the development of 89 residential units, consistent with the residential option in the SPA. The current site condition and extent of existing improvements are the result of prior entitlement and engineering approvals, including final grading, storm drain and hydrology plans. The approved engineering plans were designed to serve the commercial plaza as a whole and three sub -areas (drainage areas A, B and C) were delineated within the development for hydrology and stormwater management purposes. Within each drainage area, grade differentials (high points), barriers, and conveyances were established as part of the privately operated storm drain system to direct runoff into the respective retention systems. Engineered surface flows refer to the controlled sheet flow across parking lot and hardscape surfaces and subsequently along standard curb and gutter conveyances leading to storm drain inlets. Drainage Area A: Runoff from this drainage area of approximately 6.84 acres is conveyed along engineered surface and piped flows into an existing underground retention structure sized to contain and infiltrate the total stormwater 232 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 75 volume resulting from the controlling 100-year storm event. The tributary area includes an off -site portion of the Jefferson Street frontage on the east. As a method of water quality treatment, a flow -through hydrodynamic separator occurs before waters enter the underground retention structure. The function of this device is to separate trash, debris, and hydrocarbons from stormwater prior to the retention process. Drainage Area B: Runoff from this drainage area of approximately 3.70 acres is conveyed along controlled surface and piped flows into an existing surface retention basin (Basin B) sized to contain and infiltrate the total stormwater volume resulting from the controlling 100-year storm event. The tributary area includes a portion of the Fred Waring frontage on the north. As a method of water quality treatment, a flow -through hydrodynamic separator is installed to intercept flows prior to their entry into the retention basin. Drainage Area C: Runoff from this drainage area of approximately 2.45 acres is conveyed along controlled surface and piped flows into an existing surface retention basin (Basin C) sized to contain and infiltrate the total stormwater volume resulting from the 100-year storm event. The tributary area includes a portion of the Jefferson Street frontage on the east. A drywell system is installed at the bottom of the basin to capture debris and promote stormwater drawdown. The existing conditions in Drainage Area C also incorporate potential emergency overflow runoff from the adjacent park site to the west. In a storm event exceeding the retention capacity at the park site, runoff would be allowed to enter the existing Basin C before out -letting in a controlled condition onto Jefferson Street. A summary of the existing drainage conditions is provided in Table X-1. As shown in Exhibit X-1, the area of disturbance associated with the SPA occurs within PA2, where development is planned as part of the project.

Note: The hydrology report concludes that the peak flow will decrease by approximately 1.5% upon project implementation. 233 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 76 Exhibit X -1 Existing Retention Facilities Summary of Regional Groundwater Resource Management: The project site and entire City of La Quinta are located within the domestic water service area of Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), which covers approximately 1,000 square miles, serving approximately 110,000 homes and businesses. The Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin is the primary groundwater source for the project region's domestic water purveyors, including CVWD. Based on the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin has an approximate storage capacity of 39.2 million acre-feet (AF) of water within the upper 1,000 feet and is divided into four subbasins: Indio, Mission Creek, Desert Hot Springs, and San Gorgonio. The project site is specifically underlain by the Indio Subbasin, which is also known as the Whitewater River Subbasin. DWR has estimated that the Indio Subbasin contains approximately 29.8 million AF of water in the first 1,000 feet below the ground surface, representing approximately 76 percent of the total groundwater in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin. Local groundwater management is currently taking place under the framework of the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan (2020 RUWMP), the preparation of which involved the collaboration of the six urban water suppliers in the Coachella Valley, including CVWD. The 2020 RUWMP describes the region's water supplies and anticipated demands through 2045, along with each agency's programs to encourage efficient water use. In 2002, CVWD developed the 2002 Coachella Valley Groundwater Management Plan in collaboration with other local stakeholders with a focus on reducing overdraft, preventing groundwater level decline, protecting groundwater quality, and preventing land subsidence. In 2010, the Coachella Valley Groundwater Management Plan Update was prepared to document the accomplishments in reducing overdraft and address changed conditions since 2002. In 2014, the Governor signed a three -bill legislative package into law, collectively known as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), allowing local agencies to manage groundwater resources in a sustainable manner. SGMA required that a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) or Alternative Plan to a GSP (Alternative Plan) be adopted for basins and subbasins designated by the DWR as medium- and high -priority basins. The Indio Subbasin was designated as a medium -priority subbasin by DWR. 234 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 77 CVWD, Coachella Water Authority (CWA), Desert Water Agency (DWA), and Indio Water Authority (IWA) collectively represent the Indio Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). In January 2017, the GSAs submitted to DWR the 2010 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan (2010 CVWMP), accompanied by an Indio Subbasin Bridge Document, as a SGMA-compliant Alternative Plan. On July 17, 2019, DWR approved the Alternative Plan with a requirement to submit an Alternative Plan Update by January 1, 2022 and every five years thereafter. Based on the Indio Subbasin SGMA documentation, the combined strategies have resulted in significant groundwater storage increases across the subbasin, thus allowing the region to comply with the framework for sustainable management. In 2019, the six urban water suppliers in the Coachella Valley, including CVWD, agreed to collaborate on the preparation of the 2020 RUWMP with regional and individual agency content. In June of 2021 CVWD's Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) was prepared to outline each agency's actions that could be taken during a water shortage to reduce demands. According to the WSCP, drought conditions are not expected to affect CVWD's Colorado River water supply due to the agency's high priority allocation. Colorado River water is not a direct source of urban water supply; it is used for groundwater replenishment and non -potable uses. Consequently, water use restrictions due to drought involving the SWP water supply would likely be implemented only as a result of a prolonged drought. During dry periods when less imported water is available, groundwater production is expected to exceed the amount of recharge, and the volume in storage will be reduced. CVWD collaborates with the operation and maintenance of three replenishment facilities serving the Indio Subbasin: the Whitewater River Groundwater Replenishment Facility, the Thomas E. Levy Groundwater Replenishment Facility, and the Palm Desert Groundwater Replenishment Facility. Artificial replenishment, or recharge, is recognized by the water districts as one of the most effective methods available for preserving local groundwater supplies, reversing aquifer overdraft and meeting demand by domestic consumers. According to the CVWD web site on Groundwater Replenishment and Imported Water, local agencies have percolated over 650 billion gallons of water back into the aquifer. Combined with water conservation and efficiency requirements, individual development projects can contribute to groundwater sustainability by implementing the required stormwater retention and infiltration facilities. a) Less than Significant Impact. During construction and operation (life of the project), implementation of the proposed development will be required to comply with the applicable CWA, NPDES, state, and local regulations designed to prevent violations or impacts to surface water quality standards and waste discharge requirements pertinent to surface or ground water quality. The project does not seek any permitting actions that would vary from the established requirements and associated compliance plans. During the period of construction, the project proponent must comply with the State's most current NPDES Construction General Permit (CGP), Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ, as amended by 2010-0014-DWQ and 2012-006-DWQ. Compliance with the CGP requires the preparation of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and a project -specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), designed to prevent potential adverse impacts to surface water quality, including erosion and siltation, during the period of construction. The NOI and SWPPP are submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for approval and permit coverage. The SWPPP is a site -specific compliance plan required to identify a strategy of storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs) in accordance with Section XIV (SWPPP Requirements) of the CGP. The SWPPP will include such measures as erosion control, sediment control, storm drain inlet protection, proper waste management and pollution prevention. The SWPPP must be prepared concurrently with final engineering design and must meet all NPDES plan review elements with plan review by the City of La Quinta. The City's review and approval process ensures that all responsible parties and compliance plan elements are compliant. Compliance of this plan during construction will be regulated and enforced by the City. In order to obtain a grading permit, the project proponent is required to submit and obtain approval for a Project -Specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) in accordance with the current standards of the Whitewater River Region Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff, the Whitewater River Watershed MS4 Permit, and the City of La Quinta's engineering requirements. The WQMP is a compliance 235 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 78 plan required to account for the stormwater facilities and management conditions to be followed by the site operator during the life of the project (post -construction). A Preliminary WQMP has been prepared for this project in order to meet the City's engineering approval requirements. Taking into account the approved hydrology plan and existing conditions PA1, the Preliminary WQMP concludes that development in PA2 will not result in any considerable modifications to the drainage areas, water quality treatment, runoff quantities, or retention capacities already established for the site, as presented in Table X-1. In summary, during construction and operation, project implementation will require plan -based compliance with CWA, NPDES, and local regulations to prevent impacts to water quality standards and the beneficial uses assigned to local receiving waters. In summary, during construction and operation, project implementation will require compliance with CWA, NPDES, and local regulations to prevent impacts to water quality standards and the beneficial uses assigned to local receiving waters. Following City engineering review and approval, the stormwater capture and management strategy for on- and off -site runoff will avoid waste discharge violations through the use of existing retention facilities. Regarding groundwater quality, the project would not introduce new land use conditions conflicting with or otherwise degrading ground water quality and resource management. The existing and approved water quality devices installed in the storm drain system (hydrodynamic separators and drywell) will continue to adequately serve the SP, entire plaza and tributary street frontage as a pre-treatment for stormwater runoff prior to on -site infiltration. Less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. The established groundwater replenishment facilities for the Indio Subbasin are not located near the project. Therefore, from the aspect of land use and location, project implementation is not deemed to be in conflict with any existing or planned groundwater recharge facility or associated infrastructure. The scale of the proposed uses and associated improvements are expected to incorporate water conservation measures, including the use of low -flow plumbing fixtures, drought -tolerant (native) outdoor landscaping, and water -efficient irrigation systems. As a standard condition for service connections, the project operators will be expected to furnish the appropriate rate payment to CVWD based on the meter size, ongoing flow charges, agency fees, and groundwater recharge fees. The proposed project will continue to rely on the existing retention facilities, the function of which is to intercept and infiltrate stormwater runoff on -site instead allowing for urban runoff discharge. The existing water quality devices incorporated into the storm drain design will continue to provide pre-treatment through hydrodynamic separation to ensure that solids and debris are captured prior to on -site retention. As a function of the WQMP and site operations, all existing storm drain facilities will be subject to maintenance to ensure effectiveness. Project implementation would result in an increase in water demand from the regional groundwater supplies. The addition of the 89 units proposed in the SDP could use 25,312 gallons of potable water per day or 28.35 acre feet per year (AFY), while the commercial option could use an estimated 12,750 gallons of potable water per day or 14.28 AFY. CVWD currently has total water demand of 87,959 AFY, and projects a demand of 137,629 AFY by 2035. The project water use, under the multifamily scenario represents 0.021 % of future demand, whereas the commercial scenario represents 0.010% of future demand. See discussion b in Utilities and Service Systems. The project's location and stormwater management operation would not interfere or otherwise impede sustainable groundwater management of the regional basin. Regarding ground water quality, less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None 236 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 79 c) i) Less than Significant Impact. Development within the SPA area will occur only in PA2. PA2 encompasses two graded pads and improved parking lot facilities resulting from prior entitlement and engineering approvals, the most relevant of which are final grading, storm drain and hydrology plans. The existing storm drain system includes engineered conveyances to a designated retention system for each drainage area of the commercial plaza. The retention sizing is based on the controlling 100-year storm event, as displayed in Table X-1. The proposed project will involve physical connections and tie-ins to the existing storm drain system for each applicable drainage management area. The connections will occur from new storm drain lines carrying project stormwater runoff in the existing water quality facilities and retention facilities. The preliminary hydrology report for the proposed project has found that the proposed runoff volume conditions will be equivalent or otherwise unchanged compared to the previously approved hydrologic system condition, while the peak flow into the existing retention system will be slightly reduced by approximately 1.5 percent. Therefore, it is concluded that the existing stormwater management system capacity will not be affected by the proposed improvements. The storm drain improvements connecting to the existing system would be approved by the City's engineering department. Based on the USGS Web Soil Survey, the underlying site soils correspond to Hydrologic Soil Group A, which is characterized for having low runoff potential and high infiltration rates. Based on the Preliminary Hydrology Report and WQMP, the proposed residential project will work within the existing parameters of the approved hydrology plan and will physically tie into the existing storm drain and retention system. The updated hydrology report has concluded that the stormwater volume and peak flow resulting from project implementation will be equivalent to the existing conditions, such that established hydrologic conditions will not be modified in any considerable manner. As a standard practice, erosion and siltation will be prevented during construction and operation through the required compliance plans. During construction, the required SWPPP will include best management practices such as perimeter containment, proper soil stabilization, and source controls per the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) standards. Upon construction completion, all construction related soil disturbance shall be properly restored to a stabilized condition consisting of permanent project improvements (buildings, hardscape, pavement, and landscaping). During the life of the project, the ongoing maintenance and operation of the private storm drain facilities will ensure that all permanently improved ground surfaces are adequately maintained. All project -related runoff will be conveyed along the proposed storm drain surface and piped conveyances that will connect to the existing storm drain system and designated retention facilities per the final engineering plans. The project does not involve a condition where stormwater runoff would be unmanaged or uncontrolled in such a manner that would result in erosion or siltation. Less than significant impacts are anticipated regarding substantial erosion or siltation, on- or off -site. Mitigation: None ii) Less than Significant Impact. Based on FEMA FIRM Panel Number 06065C2232G, effective August 28, 2008, the project site occurs within a Zone X designation, corresponding to an area of minimal flood hazard, which is not considered a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) or a designated floodway. As a standard condition, the project is required to retain 100 year storm flows to prevent inundation to the proposed structures and facilities. The Preliminary Hydrology Report prepared for the proposed project has concluded that the project will not result in any considerable modifications to the previously approved hydrologic conditions and engineering plans. The project's proposed storm drainage facilities consisting of sheet flow, gutters, and pipes connecting into the existing storm drain system will not increase the stormwater volume or peak flow that can currently be handled by the established system. The project will introduce impervious surfaces (buildings, hardscape, asphalt, etc.) to PA2, but will also include catch basins, lines, outlets, and retention facilities to adequately intercept, convey and retain the controlling storm event stormwater volume from the site into the designated retention systems, per the approved hydrology. 237 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 80 The proposed development is not expected to substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off -site. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None iii) Less than Significant Impact. The City of La Quinta is a Permittee of the Whitewater River Watershed Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit area. Within the City limits, MS4 facilities include a system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains) designed for collecting and conveying stormwater. The undeveloped project site is absent of any publicly operated storm drain facilities. PA2 occurs in a partially developed setting with an existing storm drain system serving PA1 while also accepting off -site tributary drainage from portions of Fred Waring Drive to the north and Jefferson Street to the east, which were constructed consistent with the original hydrology plans. The Preliminary Hydrology Report for PA2 demonstrates that the proposed uses and associated improvements will not increase the runoff production or reduce the existing retention capacity. The SPA's operational compliance with the approved hydrology plans will be maintained. The project's final engineering plans and retention levels will be subject to standard City review and approval. Therefore, by complying with the local retention requirements and approved plans, the project will not result in urban runoff capable of exceeding the MS4 capacity. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None iv) No Impact. The project site is located outside of any designated SFHA, floodway, or drainage flow line as determined by FEMA and USGS maps. Therefore, the project will not impede or redirect any discernable drainage course, floodplain, or flood prone area. The final grading and hydrology plans, as described above, for the proposed project will be subject to standard City review and approval. In doing so, the project will not impede or redirect flood flows, resulting in less than significant impacts. Mitigation: None d) No Impact. The project is not located near any coastal areas or any large body of water and therefore is not prone to tsunami hazards or seiche risks. The project site is not located in a floodplain or special flood hazard area. No impact will occur. Mitigation: None e) No Impact. The project proponent is required to implement a project -specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) to comply with the most current standards of the Whitewater River Region MS4 Permit and with the City's on -site retention standards. The proposed hydrology plan and associated WQMP will not result in any considerable modification to these plans. Moreover, the project's storm water retention facilities will ensure that only stormwater runoff is recharged into the ground via infiltration. Therefore, project implementation is not expected to conflict with the regional groundwater management strategies or with the Indio Subbasin Sustainable Groundwater Management Plan. No impact is expected. Mitigation: None 238 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 81 11.

Setting: The project site consists of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area and proposes development in PA2 as provided in SPA No. 3. The Jefferson Square Specific Plan area covers approximately 10.27 acres on the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The project is surrounded by residential, open space, and commercial land uses. Table XI-1 displays the surrounding land uses and zoning designations in relation to the proposed project. Table XI-1 Surrounding Land Uses Land Use Jurisdiction General Plan Zoning Existing Use North La Quinta Low Density Residential RL Esplanade Single Family Residential South La Quinta Low Density Residential RL Monticello Single Family Homes West La Quinta Open Space PR Monticello Park Recreation East Indio Neighborhood Center NC Jefferson Street, Heritage Court shopping center *RL — Low Density Residential; PR — Parks and Recreation; NC — Neighborhood Commercial. Currently, Jefferson Square is designated General Commercial (CG), and zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN). The land use and zoning designations are described below. General Commercial Land Use Designation The General Commercial land use designation allows for a full range of commercial uses, including supermarkets, drugstores, large retailers, professional offices, service businesses, restaurants, hotels, motels, research and development and warehousing or similar low impact quasi -industrial projects. This designation allows mixed uses including higher density residential occurring near retail and offices. This land use designation applies to the majority of commercial land in the City. Neighborhood Commercial Zoning Designation CN zones are intended to provide for development and regulation of small-scale commercial areas located at the intersections of arterial highways as shown on the general plan. The CN district provides for the sale of food, drugs, sundries, and personal services to meet the daily needs of a neighborhood area. According to Chapter 9.80, Nonresidential Permitted Uses, (Table 9-5) in the La Quinta Municipal Code, townhome and multifamily dwellings are permitted within CN zones with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Mixed -Use Overlay: The project area also can implement a Mixed- Use Overlay, which is provided to allow the development of mixed -use projects that include both multifamily residential and commercial components in a cohesively designed and constructed manner (Section 9.140.090). The MU overlay district and the provision of Section 9.140.090 can be applied to CN designated zones. 239 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 82 The General Commercial land use designation is consistent with the Neighborhood Commercial zone. a) No Impact. The project is located on the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area. Currently, the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area includes commercial structures and associated parking spaces (PA1). PA2 is part of a planned commercial development that is partially developed with retail and commercial land uses. The proposed project would amend the existing Specific Plan to allow the multifamily residential units on the southern portion of the Specific Plan area. The proposed development will not physically divide an established community. No impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. Currently, the Specific Plan area is designated as General Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial (CN) in the City's General Plan and Zoning Maps, respectively. Additionally, per the La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.140.090, Mixed -Use (MU) Overlays apply to all CN zones, including the project site, and permit the development of residential housing near commercial uses in order to reduce vehicle miles traveled and air quality and GHG impacts. The project applicant is proposing SPA No. 3 that would result in the separation of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area into two planning areas (PA1 and PA2). The Specific Plan Amendment does not propose changes to PA1, which occupies the northern 5.17-acres of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area and is currently fully developed with commercial businesses, paved drive aisles, and parking spaces. The SPA includes an updated discussion of the southern 5.10 acres of the SP area ("PA2"), which includes improvements to the driveway along Jefferson Street, the onsite parking lot, stormwater management system, utility infrastructure, landscape improvements, and two certified pads. Under SPA No. 3, PA2 would allow the development of up to 95 multifamily units and associated amenities and improvements. It should be noted that the development of commercial retail businesses is approved within PA2 as a part of the Jefferson Square Specific Plan and Amendments No. 1 and 2. Per Table 9-5 in Section 9.80.020 of the LQMC, mixed -use projects are permitted within CN zones, subject to Section 9.110.120, which allows opportunities for multifamily residential development in combination with commercial development in a cohesive and integrated manner. Section 9.110.120 also facilitates mixed use nodes that minimize vehicle trips and enhance proximity to services and mass transit. While the original Specific Plan and associated Amendments (No. 1 and 2) limits the Specific Plan area (PA1 and PA2) to commercial uses, Amendment No. 3 allows the Specific Plan area to be developed as a horizontally mixed -use project. Horizontal mixed -use is envisioned in the Specific Plan area as already developed retail uses located in PA1 and higher density residential in PA2, which are integrated through pedestrian connections and common areas. PA2 residential uses shall meet the City's Mixed -Use Overlay's density standards of twelve to twenty-four units per acre. The Specific Plan Amendment will also result in much needed housing in the City of La Quinta, per the General Plan Housing Element for the 2022-2029 planning period, in which the City will develop 1,530 new residential units within the planning period. The following discussion provides a consistency analysis of the proposed SPA with the applicable City General Plan goals and policies. Land Use Element Goal LU-1: Land use compatibility throughout the City. Policy L U 1.1: The Land Use Map shall implement the goals and policies of the Land Use Element and the other Elements of this General Plan. 240 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 83 Consistency: The Specific Plan area is located at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The Specific Plan area Land Use designation is CG General Commercial. The zoning designation for the project site is Neighborhood Commercial (CN) with a Mixed Use (MU) Overlay. CN zones are consistent with General Commercial land use designations per Table II-2 of the La Quinta General Plan. CN zones provide for the development of small-scale commercial areas located at the intersections of arterial highways (LQMC Section 9.70.060), while MU Overlays facilitate the development of mixed use projects that include both multifamily residential and commercial components in a cohesively designed and constructed manner (LQMC Section 9.140.090). Additionally, the MU Overlay district will contribute to vehicle trip and associated air pollutant reductions by locating residents in close proximity to services, employment, and transportation hubs, which coincides with goals and policies of other elements of the General Plan, such as Goal CIR-2, which promotes and enhances transit and alternative modes of transportation, Policy CIR-2.2, which encourages reduction of GHG emissions by reducing vehicle miles traveled, and Policy CIR-2.3, which encourage the use of continuous and convenient pedestrian and bicycle routes and multi -use paths to places of employment, recreation, shopping, and other high activity areas. The Specific Plan area shall serve mix of commercial and multifamily uses in conformance with the MU Overlay and CN zones, which is consistent with the CG General Commercial Land Use designation (page 11-3 of La Quinta General Plan). Goal LU-2: High quality design that complements and enhances the City. Policy LU2.1: Changes and variations from the Zoning Ordinance in a Specific Plan will be offset by high quality design, amenities and mix of land uses. Policy LU 2.2: Specific Plans shall be required for projects proposing the integration of recreation, tourist commercial and residential uses; and for all projects proposing flexible development standards that differ from the Zoning Ordinance. Policy LU2.3: The City's outdoor lighting ordinance will be maintained. Consistency: This Specific Plan includes land use and development regulations (Section IV) and design guidelines (Section V) that will ensure a mix of commercial and multifamily uses of high quality and cohesive design character. Architectural design guidelines require a Mediterranean architecture with the use of high quality finishes and materials and landscape improvements. The Specific Plan area will include pedestrian connections with a plaza and other pedestrian -friendly features. Proposed amenities include a swimming pool, indoor gym, and clubhouse. Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 provides flexible design standards that differ from the Zoning Ordinance but are in line with the City's MU Overlay development standards, such as the maximum structure height per Section 9.140.090 of the LQMC. Section V. D. of SPA No. 3 provides commercial and multifamily site lighting guidelines. The commercial lighting guidelines match those of SPA No. 2. The multifamily site lighting guidelines indicate much less intense lighting standards than those of the commercial lighting standards. Thus, a multifamily project in PA2 would generate less intense lighting than a commercial retail project allowed under SPA No. 2. The outdoor lighting contained within the site will not produce significant light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. New light sources will be similar to the existing lighting patterns in the area and will comply with the City's lighting ordinance. Goal LU-3: Safe and identifiable neighborhoods that provide a sense of place. 241 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 84 Policy LU 3.1: Encourage the preservation of neighborhood character and assure a consistent and compatible land use pattern. Policy LU 3.3: Maintain residential development standards including setbacks, height, pad elevations and other design and performance standards that assure a high quality of development in the Zoning Ordinance. Consistency: The Specific Plan area is located at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street, two major arterial roadways with 120-foot-wide rights -of -way. The Esplanade single family residential subdivision is located directly across Fred Waring Drive, north of the Specific Plan area. The property to the east of Jefferson Street is within the City of Indio's jurisdictional boundaries and it has been developed as a retail center. The Heritage Palms Golf Resort is located across Jefferson Street to the southeast. Land use immediately west of the site includes an existing well site, City park, and a retention basin associated with the residential Monticello subdivision, which is located further to the west and directly south. The Specific Plan area is separated from the Monticello subdivision and neighboring and park by a six -foot -high masonry wall and landscape improvements. PA2 serves as a buffer between the commercial uses and the Monticello subdivision. Canopy trees line the southern property line to provide privacy between the proposed units and the existing single family homes. PA2 will be developed with high quality architecture that complements the surrounding communities and existing retail uses. PA2 is a designated mixed use zone that allows multifamily housing in addition to commercial uses. Sections IV B and V of the SPA outlines land use and development standards, including setbacks, height, pad elevations and other design and performance standards that assure a high quality of development by establishing appropriate roof treatments and shapes (flat, hip, shed, and pitched); coverings for mechanical equipment; guidelines for materials and colors used for buildings; building heights when viewed from adjacent residential properties and rights -of -way; and building and landscape setbacks along the project frontages. Goal LU-4: Maintenance and protection of existing neighborhoods. Policy LU 4.1: Encourage compatible development adjacent to existing neighborhoods and infrastructure. Consistency: The Specific Plan area is located at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street, two major arterial roadways. The project promotes the maintenance and protection of existing neighborhoods by developing residential or commercial uses on undeveloped parcels within the Jefferson Square area. As stated throughout, the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area is fully developed in the northern portion, while the southern portion is partially developed with parking spaces and landscaping. Vacant parcels are located within the southern portion of Jefferson Square. Development of the proposed project would allow the Jefferson Square property to be built out to satisfy market demands. The mixed -use project would situate residential units in proximity to commercial services and employment opportunities, while the commercial project would situate more commercial businesses near existing businesses and in proximity to residential communities; therefore, encouraging compatible development to existing residential and commercial developments. Additionally, as stated in Section IV C of the SPA No. 3, maintenance of buildings, parking facilities, common walkways and landscaped areas, sewers, drainage facilities, utilities, and any other improvements shall be maintained by the project's Building Management Association. Residential units shall be maintained by the Residential Property Manager. On -site facilities and landscaping shall be maintained in a clean, attractive, and safe condition in accordance with City regulations. Goal LU-5: A broad range of housing types and choices for all residents of the City. 242 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 85 Policy LU 5.2: Consider changes in market demand in residential product type to meet the needs of current and future residents. Consistency: Table II-30 of the 2022 Housing Element indicates that as of 2019, 78 percent of the City's housing stock consists of single family detached units. Multifamily projects in the form of five or more units accounted for only 6.5 percent of the City's housing stock. The Specific Plan Amendment designates PA2 as a potential multifamily project area which would help further diversify the City's housing offerings with apartments, condominiums or townhomes. These units will incorporate current market trends that include one-, two-, and three -bedroom units near services, employment opportunities, and public transit, and designated indoor and outdoor recreation areas(i.e., playground, pool, lounging area, gym, etc.). Goal LU-6: A balanced and varied economic base which provides a broad range of goods and services to the City's residents and the region. Policy LU-6.1: Commercial land use designations shall allow a full range of retail, office, resort and institutional businesses in the City. Consistency: PA 1 of the Specific Plan area is an established retail center that offers a wide variety of goods and services. Circulation Element Goal CIR-1: A transportation and circulation network that efficiently, safely and economically moves people, vehicles, and goods using facilities that meet the current demands and projected needs of the City. Policy CIR 1.12: As a means of reducing vehicular traffic on major roadways and to reduce vehicle miles traveled by traffic originating in the City, the City shall pursue development of a land use pattern that maximizes interactions between adjacent or nearby land uses. Consistency: SPA No. 3 allows multifamily units in PA2. A mixed use development project would provide inter -connections between uses, which would allow residents and businesses to co -exist without conflict, and provide residents with adjacent work and shopping opportunities that do not necessitate vehicle travel. Having commercial uses close by inherently encourages walking and bicycle -riding rather than driving a car. Livable Community Element Goal SC-1: A community that provides the best possible quality of life for all its residents. Policy SC 1.2: Reduce water consumption at a minimum consistent with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (also see Air Quality Element). Policy SC 1.5: All new development shall include resource efficient development principles. Consistency: The development will meet the CALGreen code and California Building Energy Efficiency Standards. These codes are designed to provide increasingly more stringent energy efficiency standards, leading to eventual requirements for net zero construction. Moreover, CALGreen requires water conserving, high efficiency plumbing fixtures and fittings such as toilets, water heaters and faucets. Additionally, landscape will consist of drought tolerant plant material to limit irrigation. Housing Element 243 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 86 Goal H-1: Provide housing opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the City's existing and projected population. Policy H 1.3: Direct new housing development to viable areas where essential public facilities can be provided and employment opportunities, educational facilities, and commercial support are available. Consistency: The Specific Plan area is located in close proximately to employment opportunities, educational facilities, and commercial goods and services. The Specific Plan area itself offers commercial goods and services and a major commercial center is located directly across the street. The public elementary and middle schools are within 1.0 mile of the site and La Quinta High School is approximately 1.6 miles from the site. Goal H-3: Create a regulatory system that does not unduly constrain the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing affordable to all La Quinta residents. Policy H 3.1: Remove unnecessary regulatory constraints to enable the construction or rehabilitation of housing that meets the needs of La Quinta residents, including lower income and special needs residents. Consistency: The Specific Plan will allow the development of condominiums, townhomes, and apartments, which are not broadly available currently in the City of La Quinta. Goal H-6: Provide a regulatory framework that facilitates and encourages energy and water conservation through sustainable site planning, project design, and green technologies and building materials. Policy H 6.1: Promote higher density and compact developments that increase energy efficiency and reduce land consumption. Policy H-6.4: Focus sustainability efforts on measures and techniques that also assist the occupant in reducing energy costs; therefore, reducing housing costs. Consistency: The SPA provides for high density residential development (12 — 24 units per acre) in accordance with the City's mixed use development standards. The SPA offers the opportunity to cluster varying residential product types in a compact footprint. Inherently, this compact development style increases energy efficiency and minimizes land consumption. The SPA will incorporate CALGreen and California Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Housing will incorporate high efficiency plumbing fixtures, energy efficient lighting fixtures and appliances, energy efficient windows and drought tolerant landscape with low flow watering systems. Noise Element Goal N-1: A healthful noise environment which complements residential and resort character. Policy N 1.1: Noise standards in the City shall be consistent with the Community Noise and Land Use Compatibility scale described in this Element. Policy N 1.2: New residential development located adjacent to any roadway identified in Table IV-4 as having a build out noise level in excess of 65 dBA shall continue to be required to submit a noise impact 244 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 87 analysis in conjunction with the first Planning Department application, which demonstrates compliance with the City's noise standards. Policy N 1.3: New non-residential development located adjacent to existing residential development, sensitive receptors or residentially designated land, shall be required to submit a noise impact analysis in conjunction with the first Planning Department application, which demonstrates that it will not significantly impact the adjacent residential development or residential land. Policy N 1.4: All Mixed Use projects shall be required to submit a noise impact analysis in conjunction with the first Planning Department application, which demonstrates compliance with the City's noise standards. Policy N 1.5: All noise impact analysis will include, at a minimum, short-term construction noise and noise generated by the daily operation of the project at build out. Consistency: The project will comply with City noise standards, including those associated with construction noise. Construction activities shall comply with the City's permitted construction hours. Block walls (noise barriers) will be provided to protect neighboring homes from noise sources. Mechanical ventilation systems will be installed to permit windows to remain closed for prolonged periods of time to ensure traffic noise will not exceed interior noise standards. LSA Consulting Group completed Noise Impact Analysis to identify the Specific Plan's noise impacts. Non-residential development will be located at a minimum of 50 feet from any new residential development. At this distance, it is anticipated that any operation of stationary noise sources associated with the non-residential development would not exceed the City's exterior noise level standard of 65 dBA CNEL for the residential homes, nor would the interior noise level standard of 45 dBA CNEL for residential be exceeded. The Specific Plan Amendment does not conflict with the land use and zoning designations established in the General Plan and in the previous Specific Plan Amendments. Overall, the provisions of the Specific Plan Amendment and the development of the project are not expected to conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project, and impacts are considered less than significant.

Source: La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, 2013; Mineral Resources Land Classification Map. Setting: The State of California has recognized the importance of mineral resources for construction materials and other economic purposes. The mineral resources that form the Coachella Valley's desert floor primarily consists of sand, gravel (aggregate) and other important mineral deposits that have eroded from the surrounding mountains and hills. Mining and extraction of mineral resources continues to be threatened by urbanization and development in areas where important mineral resources exist. The California Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) addresses the loss of regionally significant mineral deposits to urban development. The Act requires the Department of Conservation to create Production -Consumption Regions which are areas where significant mineral resources of statewide importance and regional significance are produced and consumed, and a classification system that identifies lands where significant mineral resource deposits are located. La Quinta is located in the Palm Springs Production -Consumption Region. The Palm Springs Production -Consumption Region covers approximately 631 square miles of the Coachella Valley, from near Cabazon to Thermal. Lands within the Production -Consumption Region are classified according to the presence of valuable mineral resources. La Quinta has two Mineral Resource Zones, MRZ-1 and MRZ-3. MRZ-1 are areas where adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence. MRZ- 3 are areas containing known or inferred mineral deposits, the significance of which cannot be evaluated from available data. a,b) No Impact. According to the Classification Map, the project site is designated within Mineral Resource Zone 1 (MRZ-1). This specific zone designates areas where geologic information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present or likely to be present. Conclusively, the project site is not recognized as a mineral resource recovery site delineated in the City of La Quinta 2035 GPU or the resource maps prepared pursuant to SMARA. No impacts are expected as a result of project implementation. Mitigation: None 246 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 89 13.

Source: La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, 2013; City of La Quinta General Plan Technical Noise Study, Urban Crossroads, Inc., 2011; La Quinta Municipal Code; Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis, Jefferson Square Multi -Family Project, LSA, 2023. Setting: Noise Noise is simply defined as "unwanted sound." Sound becomes unwanted when it interferes with normal activities, when it causes actual physical harm or when it has adverse effects on health. Sound intensity is measured with the A -weighted decibel (dBA) scale to correct for the relative frequency response of the human ear. That is, an A - weighted noise level de-emphasizes low and very high frequencies of sound, similar to the human ear's de -emphasis of these frequencies. Decibels (dB), unlike the linear scale (e.g., inches or pounds), are measured on a logarithmic scale representing points on a sharply rising curve. For example, 10 dB is 10 times more intense than 0 dB, 20 dB is 100 times more intense than 0 dB, and 30 dB is 1,000 times more intense than 0 dB. Thirty decibels (30 dB) represent 1,000 times as much acoustic energy as 0 dB. Ambient sounds generally range from 30 dB (very quiet) to 100 dB (very loud). Sound levels are generated from a source, and their decibel level decreases as the distance from that source increases. Sound levels dissipate exponentially with distance from their noise sources. For a single point source, sound levels decrease approximately 6 dB for each doubling of distance from the source. This drop-off rate is appropriate for noise generated by stationary equipment. If noise is produced by a line source (e.g., highway traffic or railroad operations), the sound decreases 3 dB for each doubling of distance in a hard site environment. Tine - source sound levels decrease 4.5 dB for each doubling of distance in a relatively flat environment with absorptive vegetation. The predominant rating scales for human communities in the State of California are the equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) and Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL), or the day -night average noise level (Ldn) based on A -weighted decibels. Leq is the total sound energy of time -varying noise over a sample period. CNEL is the time - weighted average noise over a 24-hour period, with a 5 dBA weighting factor applied to the hourly Leq for noises occurring during the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and a 10 dBA weighting factor applied to noises occurring at night from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.. Ldn is similar to the CNEL scale but without the adjustment for events occurring during the evening hours. CNEL and Ldn are within 1 dBA of each other and are normally interchangeable. The City uses the CNEL noise scale for long-term traffic noise impact assessment. 247 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 90 Noise impacts can be described in three categories. The first category includes audible impacts, which are increases in noise levels noticeable to humans. Audible increases in noise levels generally refer to a change of 3 dB or greater because this level has been found to be barely perceptible in exterior environments. The second category, potentially audible, refers to a change in the noise level between 1 dB and 3 dB. This range of noise levels has been found to be noticeable only in laboratory environments. The last category includes changes in noise levels of less than 1 dB, which are inaudible to the human ear. Only audible changes in existing ambient or background noise levels are considered potentially significant. Prolonged exposure to sound levels higher than 85 dBA begins to cause physical damage to human hearing. The table below indicates noise sources, their levels, and effects on humans.

Regulations Applicable noise standards governing the project site include the criteria established in the California Code of Regulations, the City of La Quinta General Plan and the Municipal Code (LQMC). Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations California Noise Insulation Standards regulates interior noise levels for residential habitable rooms (i.e., rooms used for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking). Title 24, Chapter 12, Section 1206.4, of the 2019 California Building Code requires that interior noise levels attributable to exterior sources not exceed 45 CNEL in any habitable room. Section 9.100.210, Noise Control, of the La Quinta Municipal Code provides specific noise standards and appropriate noise level ranges for a variety of land uses. The table below shows the range of allowable exterior noise levels within different land uses in the City. The table is used to ensure noise compatibility of proposed land uses and helps predict the future noise environment. Where sensitive land uses will be exposed to noise levels of 60 dBA CNEL or higher, an acoustical study is required. In residential areas, the General Plan standard is a CNEL of 65 dBA. Mitigation measures are required where sensitive land uses will be exposed to noise levels greater than 65 dBA CNEL. 248 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 91 Table XIII-2 Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments Land Uses CNEL (dBA) 5Q 55 60 65 70 75 a0 Rmldential Singlr F.Drnlly DweNings, Duplex, Wbik.

Construction hours specified in the City's Noise Ordinance limits construction to the following hours: - October 1st through April 20ti': Monday — Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Saturday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Sunday and Holidays: None. - May 1 st through September 30': Monday — Friday 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Saturday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Sunday and Holidays: None. Federal Transit Administration The City of La Quinta does not have construction noise level limits, construction noise was assessed using criteria from the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual. The table below indicates the FTA's Detailed Analysist Construction Noise Criteria based on the composite noise levels per construction phase. Table XIII-4 Detailed Assessment Construction Noise Criteria Land Use Daytime 1-hour Le dBA) Nighttime 1-hour Le dBA Residential 80 70 Commercial 85 85 Industrial 90 90 Source: Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (FTA 2018) Vibration Vibration refers to the ground -borne noise and perceptible motion. Ground -borne vibration is almost exclusively a concern inside buildings and is rarely perceived as a problem outdoors, where the motion may be discernible, but without the effects associated with the shaking of a building there is less adverse reaction. Vibration energy propagates from a source through intervening soil and rock layers to the foundations of nearby buildings. The vibration then propagates from the foundation throughout the remainder of the structure. Building vibration may be perceived by occupants as the motion of building surfaces, the rattling of items sitting on shelves or hanging on walls, or a low -frequency rumbling noise. Typical sources of ground -borne vibration are construction activities (e.g., blasting, pile -driving, and operating heavy-duty earthmoving equipment), steel -wheeled trains, and occasional traffic on rough roads. Problems with both ground -borne vibration and noise from these sources are usually localized to areas within approximately 100 feet from the vibration source, although there are examples of ground -borne vibration causing interference out to distances greater than 200 feet. When roadways are smooth, vibration from traffic, even heavy trucks, is rarely perceptible. Construction of the project could result in ground -borne vibration that may be perceptible and annoying. Vibration standards included in the FTA Manual are used in the analysis for ground -borne vibration impacts on human annoyance. The criteria for environmental impact from ground -borne vibration and noise are based on the maximum levels for a single event. a) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. If approved, SPA No. 3 allows the development of up to 95 multi -family units, parking spaces, communal areas, and associated improvements in PA2. The primary existing noise sources in the project area are transportation facilities. Specifically, traffic on Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive is a steady source of ambient noise. To analyze project -generated noise impacts during construction and operation, a project -specific Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis was provided by LSA in December 2022. Analysis of project -related noise impacts is based on short-term construction noise, long-term traffic noise (on- and off -site), and operational noise associated with PA2, since no further development of PA1 is included in the project. Existing Noise Conditions 250 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 93 Long-term (24-hour) noise level measurements were conducted by LSA on October 6, and 7, 2022, using four (4) Larson Davis Spark 706RC Dosimeters. Exhibit XIII-1 illustrates the noise level measurement locations. The table below indicates the measured hourly noise levels from the long-term noise measurements. Hourly noise levels at surrounding sensitive uses are as low as 42.3 dBA Leq during nighttime hours and 52.4 dBA Leq during daytime hours.

Short -Term Construction Noise Two types of short-term noise impacts could occur during project construction. These include (1) construction crew commutes and the transport of construction equipment and materials, and (2) construction activities (i.e., demolition, site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating). Construction crew commutes and the transport of construction equipment and materials to the site for the proposed project would incrementally increase noise levels on access roads leading to the site. Although there would be a relatively high single -event noise -exposure potential causing intermittent noise nuisance (passing trucks at 50 feet would generate up to 84 dBA Lmax), the effect on longer -term ambient noise levels would be small when compared to existing daily traffic volumes on Jefferson Street. Because construction -related vehicle trips would not approach existing daily traffic volumes, traffic noise would not increase by 3 dBA CNEL. A noise level increase of less than 3 dBA would not be perceptible to the human ear in an outdoor environment. Therefore, short-term, construction -related impacts associated with worker commute and equipment transport to the project site would be less than significant. Construction -related activities would also generate short-term noise at the project site. The table below lists typical construction noise levels recommended for noise impact assessments, based on a distance of 50 feet between the equipment noise levels recommended for noise impact assessments, based on a distance of 50 feet between the equipment and a noise receptor, taken from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model. 252 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 95 Table XIII-6 Typical Construction Equipment Noise Levels Equipment Nscripition Acoustical Usage Factor (%)" Maximum Noise Level (Lm ,) at 54 Feetz Auger Drill Rig 20 84 Backhaes 40 so Corn pactor(ground) 20 so Compressor 40 8o Crams 16 85 Dozers 40 85 Dump Trucks 40 84 Excavators 40 85 Flat Bed Trucks 40 84 ForkIIft 20 85 Front-end Loaders 40 80 Graders 40 85 Impact Pile Drivers 20 95 Jackhammers 20 85 Paver 50 77 Pickup Truck 40 55 PneumaRlc Tools 50 85 Pumps 50 77 Rode Drills 20 35 Rakers 20 85 Scrapers 40 85 Tractors 40 84 Trencher 50 80 Welder 40 73 Source.

These noise level projections do not consider intervening topography or barriers.

Table L, Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis, 2022 253 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 96 While construction noise will vary, it is expected that composite noise levels during construction at the nearest off -site sensitive residential uses to the south would reach an average noise level of 73 dBA Leq during daytime hours. These predicted noise levels would only occur when all construction equipment is operating simultaneously, and therefore, are assumed to be rather conservative in nature. While construction -related short-term noise levels have the potential to be higher than existing ambient noise levels in the project area under existing conditions, the noise impacts would no longer occur once project construction is completed. In addition to the site preparation phase, construction noise levels expected during the construction of buildings closest to the neighboring residences to the south, were calculated. At an average distance of 85 feet from the property line, noise levels have the potential to approach 78 dBA Leq. Similar to site preparation activities discussed above, these predicted noise levels would only occur when all construction equipment is operating simultaneously and, therefore, are assumed to be conservative in nature. While construction -related short-term noise levels have the potential to be higher than existing ambient noise levels in the project area under existing conditions, the noise impacts would no longer occur once project construction is completed. Additionally, the existing 6-foot-high property line wall would further reduce noise level impacts for activities at ground level. Construction activities are regulated by the City's Noise Ordinance (Section 6.08.050). The proposed project would comply with the construction hours specified in the City's Noise Ordinance, which limits construction to the following hours: - October 1st through April 20t': Monday — Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Saturday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Sunday and Holidays: None. - May Pt through September 30': Monday — Friday 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Saturday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Sunday and Holidays: None. In order to further reduce noise impacts during construction and assure that impacts are reduced to less than significant levels, mitigation measures are required. As described in mitigation measures NOI-1 through NOI-3, the project construction contractor will be required to equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained noise mufflers, consistent with manufacturer's standards; locate staging areas away from off -site sensitive uses throughout project development, especially during development of Residential Buildings 4, 5 and 6; and place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site whenever feasible. The project is proposed in one phase, occurring between 15 to 18 months. Construction will begin at Residential Building 1, and proceed consecutively. Like most developments, it is likely that development of the buildings will overlap (i.e., Residential Buildings 2 and 3 will start before Residential Building 1 is finished), and residents will occupy Building 1 while Buildings 2 and 3 are being constructed. Therefore, future onsite residents may be affected by construction of Residential Buildings 2 and 3. Based on the stages of construction, the noise impacts associated with the proposed project are expected to create temporarily high noise levels at the nearby locations. Noise levels generated by heavy construction equipment can range from approximately 68 dBA to in excess of 80 dBA when measured at 50 feet. Building 1 is located more than 52 feet from Buildings 2 and 3 (measured from proposed building frontage to building frontage). In order to lessen the impacts of construction noise, the City of La Quinta has established hours of operation within the Municipal Code, Section 6.08.050. The project will be required to comply to the construction hours allowed per the La Quinta Municipal Code. Additionally, the project will implement mitigation measures N0I-1 through N0I-3 to further reduce construction noise to the maximum extent feasible, as described above.. Finally, once final plans are available to detail the exterior wall construction and a 254 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 97 window manufacturer has been chosen, a Final Acoustical Report (FAR) must be submitted, consistent with mitigation measure NOI-?? to demonstrate the reduction capability of the exterior facades and to identify any specific upgrades necessary to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dBA CNEL or below. As it relates to off -site uses, construction -related noise levels would remain below the daytime 80 dBA Leq 1-hour construction noise level criteria established by the FTA for residential and similar sensitive uses. Best construction practices indicated in mitigation measures N0I-1 through N0I-3, shall be implemented to minimize noise impacts to surrounding receptors to less than significant levels. Overall, construction of the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts with the implementation of mitigation. Long -Term Off -Site Traffic Noise The project -specific Traffic Impact Analysis determined that the operation of the mixed -use property would generate 231 fewer daily trips, due to the adjacency of residential and commercial uses, which reduce vehicle miles traveled. A reduction in daily trips would not generate an increase in traffic noise. Therefore, traffic noise impacts from project -related traffic on off -site sensitive receptors would be less than significant. Operational Noise The Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis conducted for the project site, analyzed the development of residential units and associated amenities in PA2, as proposed in the Site Development Permit (SDP) being submitted concurrently with Specific Plan Amendment No. 3. The proposed building would include roof- top HVAC units. The HVAC equipment could operate 24 hours per day. According to the project -specific Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis, rooftop HVAC equipment would generate noise levels of 66.6 dBA Leq at 5 feet per HVAC unit (based on previously gathered measurements). The closest off -site sensitive use to the project is the residential community to the south. The proposed location of on -site project HVAC units would be located approximately 25 feet away from the off -site sensitive uses. The table below presents the noise levels from HVAC equipment at the nearest noise - sensitive location.

Each building would have parapet walls to hide the mechanical equipment, which would reduce noise levels by a minimum of 5 dBA. After distance attenuation, noise generated from the four banks of HVAC equipment at rooftop of Building 1 would be up to 39.0 dBA Leq at the nearest sensitive use. This noise level would not exceed the City's exterior daytime (7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.) and nighttime (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) noise standards of 65 dBA Leq and 50 dBA Leq, respectively. Therefore, noise associated with the onsite HVAC equipment would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. 255 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 98 As previously stated, the project has the option to develop a commercial retail development plan. Per the analysis in EA 2002-462 for the commercial retail development plan, the primary potential noise impacts associated with the commercial retail project would be associated with vehicular noise. The loading and unloading of trucks at the back entrances of the shops could potentially result in temporary noise levels in excess of the City's standards, particularly during the quieter evening and night-time hours. However, vehicular and truck delivery noise is temporary and occasional, and is not expected to be sustained over long periods of time. Therefore, the Environmental Assessment concluded that a short-term inconvenience and nuisance could occur without the implementation of the following mitigation measure: 1. The project proponent shall include prohibition on deliveries to Shops 1, Shops 2 and Pad C during the hours of 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. in the project CC&Rs shall be submitted to the City Attorney's office for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. Should the commercial retail development plan be developed in PA2 project, the above mitigation measure would be implemented. Noise Impacts to the Proposed Project The primary noise sources within the vicinity of the project include traffic noise from the surrounding roadways (i.e., Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street), as well as existing commercial areas. The following discussion analyzes offsite noise impacts to the proposed project. Exterior noise levels east of the project site could reach 64 dBA CNEL based on measured noise levels in the vicinity of the project. Exterior noise levels at the courtyard located at the center of Building 1 would be further reduced due to distance attenuation and shielding from the building, which would reduce noise levels by 3 dBA or more. For noise levels that are less than 65 dBA CNEL, the Land Use Compatibility Standards defines the noise environment as normally acceptable for residential uses; therefore, exterior traffic noise levels would remain below the City's exterior noise level standards for transportation noise. Based on this, the long-term on -site traffic noise levels would be less than significant. An interior noise level standard of 45 dBA CNEL or less is required for all noise sensitive rooms, per the California Code of Regulations. Based on the expected future exterior noise levels at the units closest to Jefferson Street approaching 64 dBA CNEL after distance attenuation, a minimum noise reduction of 19 dBA would be required. According to the Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis, the necessary reduction can be achieved with standard building construction and standard windows with Sound Transmission Class (STC) typically in the ratings of 25 — 28 range, and interior noise levels of 45 dBA CNEL or less would be achieved. Once final plans are available to detail the exterior wall construction and a window manufacturer has been chosen, a Final Acoustical Report (FAR) would be required to confirm the reduction capability of the exterior facades and to identify any specific upgrades necessary to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dBA CNEL or below. This is indicated as Mitigation Measure N0I-4. Therefore, with the implementation of mitigation measures N0I-1 through N0I4, project -related off -site traffic, on -site traffic, operational, and construction noise created by the project are reduced to less than significant levels. Mitigation: N0I-1: The project construction contractor shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained noise mufflers, consistent with manufacturer's standards. N0I-2: The project construction contractor shall locate staging areas away from off -site sensitive uses during project development. 256 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 99 N0I-3: The project construction contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors nearest the project site whenever feasible. N0I4: Once final plans are available to detail the exterior wall construction and a window manufacturer has been chosen, a Final Acoustical Report (FAR) shall be submitted to the City to demonstrate the reduction capability of the exterior facades and to identify any specific upgrades necessary to achieve an interior noise level of 45 dBA CNEL or below. N0I-5: Should the commercial retail development plan be constructed in PA2, the project proponent shall include prohibition on deliveries to Shops 1, Shops 2 and Pad C during the hours of 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. in the project CC&Rs shall be submitted to the City Attorney's office for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. b) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. Vibration is the periodic oscillation of a medium or object. The rumbling sound caused by the vibration of room surfaces is called structure -borne noise. Sources of ground -borne vibrations include natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sea waves, landslides) or human -made causes (e.g., explosions, machinery, traffic, trains, construction equipment). Vibration sources may be continuous, such as factory machinery, or transient, such as explosions. As is the case with airborne sound, ground -borne vibrations may be described by amplitude and frequency. The project -specific Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis evaluates the level of human annoyance using vibration levels in VdB and assesses the potential for building damage using vibration levels in PPV (in/sec). This is because calculating vibration levels in PPV is best for characterizing the potential for damage. The table below shows the PPV values from 5 to 270 feet from the construction vibration source. Bulldozers and other heavy -tracked construction equipment expected to be used for this project generate approximately 0.089 PPV in/sec of ground -borne vibration when measured at 25 feet, based on the FTA Manual. The distance to the nearest buildings is measured between the nearest off -site buildings and the project construction boundary (assuming the construction equipment would be used at or near the project setback line).

It is expected that vibration levels generated by dump trucks and other large equipment that would be as close as 5 feet from the property line would generate ground -borne vibration levels of up to 0.352 PPV (in/sec) at the closest structure to the project site. This vibration level would exceed the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) threshold considered safe for non -engineered timber and masonry buildings. It is expected that construction activities utilizing heavy equipment would generate vibration 257 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 100 levels greater than 0.2 in/sec in PPV when operating within 5 feet of PA2, which would result in a potentially significant impact. Therefore, the use of heavy equipment should be prohibited within 15 feet of existing structures to ensure that vibration levels are below the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) threshold, as required in Mitigation Measure NOI-6. At 15 feet, dump trucks and other large equipment would generate ground -borne vibrations levels of up to 0.191 PPV (in/sec) at the closest structure to the project site and would not exceed the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) threshold. If heavy equipment is necessary within 15 feet of the north boundary of PA2, Mitigation Measure N0I-7 would be implemented to reduce potential impacts by requiring a vibration monitoring and construction contingency plan that would ensure that vibration levels are below the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) and vibration damage would not occur. Therefore, construction would not result in any vibration damage and impacts would be less than significant with the incorporation of Mitigation Measure N0I-6 and N0I-7. To further minimize the perceived vibration impacts, the City of La Quinta limits the exposure of noise sensitive land uses to construction areas by permitting construction activities to occur only during construction hours established by Section 6.08.050 of the City's Noise Ordinance. Construction activities will be required to comply with the construction hours established by the LQMC. Overall, the implementation of mitigation Measure N0I-6 and N0I-7 would ensure a less than significant level by prohibiting heavy equipment within 15 feet of existing structures or requiring a vibration monitoring plan that would ensure that the vibration levels are below the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) and vibration damage would not occur. Additionally, construction activities are regulated by the City Municipal Code, which states that temporary construction, maintenance, or demolition activities are not allowed during the nighttime hours, so vibration impacts would not occur during the more sensitive nighttime hours. With the implementation of mitigation, project -generated vibration would be reduced to less than significant levels. Mitigation: N0I-6: The use of heavy equipment is prohibited within 15 feet of existing commercial structures, unless the provisions of NOI-7 are first implemented. N0I-7: If heavy equipment is necessary within 15 of existing structure the following actions shall be implemented prior to issuance of grading permits: o Identify structures that could be affected by ground -borne vibration and would be located within 15 feet of where heavy construction equipment would be used. This task shall be conducted by a qualified structural engineer as approved by the City's Director of Community Development or designee. o Develop a vibration monitoring and construction contingency plan for approval by the City's Director of Community Development, or designee, to identify structures where monitoring would be conducted; set up a vibration monitoring schedule; define structure -specific vibration limits; and address the need to conduct photo, elevation, and crack surveys to document before and after construction conditions. Construction contingencies would be identified for when vibration levels approached the limits. o At a minimum, monitor vibration during initial demolition activities. Monitoring results may indicate the need for more intensive measurements if vibration levels approach the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) threshold. o When vibration levels approach the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) limit, suspend construction and implement contingencies as identified in the approved vibration monitoring and construction contingency plan to either lower vibration levels or secure the affected structures. c) Less than Significant Impact. Airport -related noise levels are primarily associated with aircraft engine noise made while aircraft are taking off, landing, or running their engines while still on the ground. The closest airport to the proposed project site is the Bermuda Dunes Airport located approximately 1.15 258 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 101 miles north of the project. The proposed project is located outside of the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour. Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated. However, the project is located within Zone E of the Bermuda Dunes Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Therefore, the project is subject to review from the Riverside County ALUC. ALUC has reviewed the project and determined that it is compatible the 2004 Bermuda Dunes Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, therefore impacts are less than significant. Mitigation: None 259 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 102 14. POPULATION AND HOUSING — Would the project: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or ❑ ❑ ® ❑ indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction ❑ ❑ ❑ of replacement housing elsewhere? Sources: La Quinta General Plan 2035, and 2022-2029 Housing Element; SCAG Local Profile 2018, Housing Type by Units: 2018. California Department of Finance, Population and Housing Estimates for Cities, Counties, and the State 1990-2000 and 2011-2021. Setting: According to the City of La Quinta 2022 Housing Element, the City had a population of 23,694 people in 2000 which increased by 58.1 percent, to 37,467 people in 2010. In 2018, the population increased to 40,704. Per the U.S. Census, the City of La Quinta's population was 38,181 people in July 2021. Between 2010 and 2018, the number of households within the City increased 4.6 percent, from 14,820 to 15,505. In 2018 the City of La Quinta had a total of 25,143 housing units, of which 15,505 housing units, or approximately 61.7 percent of units, were occupied. Conversely, 9,638 units, or 38.3 percent, were registered as vacant, according to the La Quinta Housing Element. This vacancy rate is due to the seasonal, recreational, or occasional use of many of the homes in the City. The 2022 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) proposes that La Quinta facilitate the development of 1,530 new housing units for the 2022-2029 planning period. The RHNA includes housing planning goals of 420 units for very low, 269 units for low, 297 units for moderate, and 544 units for above moderate -income households. According to the Department of Finance (DOF), the City of La Quinta had a population of 37,860 people in 2022. The La Quinta General Plan (LQGP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) forecasts a population of 46,297 people by year 2035, while the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) forecasts that by 2040, the City will have approximately 47,700 people. a) Less than Significant Impact. SPA No. 3 allows the construction and operation of up to 95 multifamily residential units in PA2. Using the City's average household size of 2.37 people, the project has the capacity to increase the City's population by approximately 225 people, for an approximate population of up to 38,085 in the City. This is below the City's 2035 and SCAG's 2040 population forecasts of 46,297 and 47,700 people, respectively. Existing streets, utilities and services occur both surrounding and within the Specific Plan boundary. Although buildout and full occupancy of the project could potentially result in a 0.60 percent population increase of the current City population, this increase is consistent with City and regional growth projections, and public service providers and utilities will be able to adequately accommodate this growth. Therefore, the project would not result in a substantial unanticipated population increase in the City. Impacts would be less than significant. The number of estimated housing units in the City of La Quinta in 2019 was 24,643 housing units, according to SCAG's 2019 Local Profile of La Quinta; however, only approximately 15,643 units were occupied. SPA No. 3 allows up to 95 dwelling units which is a maximum 0.38 percent increase of 2019 housing units. 260 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 103 According to the LQGP EIR, the City of La Quinta Land Use Plan can accommodate up to 31,603 residential dwelling units within the City limits. The 95 dwelling units allowed in SPA No. 3 account for approximately 0.3 percent of the remaining capacity for dwelling units anticipated by the City. Thus, while implementation of the project would result in a direct increase in population and housing, it is consistent with the projected residential growth for the City. Additionally, the residential component of the project would assist in helping the City of La Quinta achieve the RHNA requirement of 1,530 new housing units within the 2022-2029 planning period. Therefore, the project would not result in a substantial increase in total housing units in the City. Impacts would be less than significant. The development of the commercial option would result in the development of an approximately 42,500- square-foot and 5,000-square-foot commercial building. The development of the commercial buildings would connect to the existing infrastructure at and around the site; thus, the development of the approved Specific Plan (Amendment No. 2) would not result in unexpected direct or indirect growth. Therefore, approval and development of the proposed project is not expected to result in direct and indirect unplanned growth within the City. Less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: None b) No Impact. The proposed PA2 site currently operates as a paved parking lot for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan. Graded, undeveloped pads occur onsite as well. These undeveloped pads are fenced off and vacant. The proposed project does not include the demolition or conversion of existing residential dwelling units to non-residential uses. The project does not include the displacement of any residents within the project area. There will be no impact to the current population of the area as it is vacant land. Mitigation: None 261 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 104 15. PUBLIC SERVICES — Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ Police protection? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ Schools? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ Parks? ❑ ❑ ® ❑ Other public facilities? ❑ ❑ ❑ Sources: La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update, 2013; La Quinta 2035 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report, 2013; Desert Sands Unified School District website. Setting: Fire: The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD), under contract with the City of La Quinta, provides 24-hour fire protection and emergency medical services to the City. There are three City -owned fire stations within the City of La Quinta, Fire Station 32, Station 70 and Station 93. Each station is staffed with full-time paid and volunteer firefighters. Fire Station 93 located at 44555 Adams Street is approximately 1 mile from the proposed project site and is equipped with a primary engine and a reserve engine. Fire Station 32 is located at 78111 Avenue 52 and is approximately 4 miles from the proposed project site. This station's equipment includes a primary and reserve fire engine, volunteer squad, and rescue vehicles. Fire Station 70 is located at 54001 Madison Street and is approximately 5 miles from the project site. This station is equipped with a primary engine, a brush fire engine, and a volunteer squad. 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. Per the La Quinta 2035 General Plan EIR, the average response times are between 5 and 7 minutes. Police: Law enforcement services are provided to the City of La Quinta through a contractual agreement with Riverside County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's department provides 24-hour municipal police services associated with a City police department. The La Quinta police department operates out of the Thermal Station located at 86625 Airport Boulevard. There is also a Civic Center Community Policing Office, located at 78-495 Calle Tampico. The City's police department patrols 7 days a week, 365 days a year and 24-hours a day. The department serves a population of approximately 41,204 residents and patrols over 33 square miles. The City also employs volunteers that assist the Sheriff's Department, through a program known as "Citizens on Patrol" (COP). They are trained by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and assist and support the deputies of the La Quinta Police Department. The City has 49 sworn officers and 6 community service officers. 262 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 105 Schools: The City of La Quinta is served by two school districts; Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD) and Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD). DSUSD serves the portion of the City west of Jefferson Street and north of Avenue 48. The proposed project site is within the boundary of the DSUSD; Amelia Earhart Elementary and John Glenn Middle School are the closest schools to the proposed project and are approximately 0.40 miles to the southwest. La Quinta High School is approximately 1 mile southwest of the project. Parks: The City of la Quinta provides public and private parks, trails, open space and multi -city recreational facilities with various amenities. The City oversees 11 city parks, a civic center and three nature preserve areas. Per the 2035 La Quinta General Plan, the City has a policy of providing a minimum of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents. a) Fire Less than Significant Impact. Development and operation of PA2 may cause an incremental increase in demand for emergency services. Fire Station 93, at 44555 Adams Street, is the closest fire station to the project, located approximately 1 mile southwest. The surrounding development already receives fire services and the proposed project would be adequately served by fire protection services within the 5- minute response time and no new or expanded facilities would be required. The project will also be required to pay Developer Impact Fees, which are, in part, directed to the construction of additional fire facilities on a fair share basis. Additionally, the project will comply with the 2035 General Plan Emergency Services Policy ES-1.2 in that all new development proposals are routed to the Fire Department to assure that project access and design provide for maximum fire life safety. The project would be required to implement all applicable fire safety requirements, to include, installation of fire hydrants, and sprinkler systems. Less than significant impacts are expected as a result of project implementation. Mitigation: None Police Less than Significant Impact. The City has no established staffing ratio, and police staffing in La Quinta is based on the safety needs of the local community and the resources needed to provide these safety needs. The City of La Quinta currently has 49 sworn officers and 6 community service officers. The La Quinta Police Department's Average Emergency Response is 5:39 minutes, while all other responses (i.e., non - emergencies) average 23:6 minutes. Law Enforcement responses originate from within the City (deputies on shift), rather than a station. The development would occur within an area with existing commercial and residential uses, which are already being served and patrolled by the La Quinta Police Department. The project will also be required to pay Developer Impact Fees, which are, in part, directed to the construction of additional police facilities on a fair share basis. The current DIF for multi -family residential is $6,113, which the City documented is adequate to mitigate any significant impacts to public facilities from new development. Additionally, the project complies with the 2035 General Plan Emergency Services Policy ES-1.6 in that all new development proposals shall continue to be routed to the Police Department to assure that the Project access and design provide for a defensible space and maximum crime prevention while maintaining City design standards and codes. Development of the proposed project will result in less than significant impacts to police services. Mitigation: None Schools 263 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 106 Less than Significant Impact. The SPA will not, in and of itself, have any impact on schools. The SDP is proposing a multifamily residential development on approximately 5.1 acres. Therefore, the project has the potential to generate 32 new students based on DSUSD's Student Generation Rates, as indicated in the table below. Table 15-I DSUSD District Wide Student Generation Rate School Type Dwelling Units Generation Rate* Students Generated*** Elementary School 95 0.1486 14 Middle School 95 0.0793 8 High School 95 0.1221 12 Total New Students 34 *Source: 2022 DSUSD Fee Justification Study for New Residential and Commercial/Industrial Development, May 2022. **95 dwelling units were analyzed consistent with the SPA. **Students generated rounded. Assembly Bill 2926 and Senate Bill 50 (SB 50) allow school districts to collect development fees for all new construction for residential/commercial and industrial use. At the time of writing, DSUSD development fees are $4.79/sq.ft. for residential and $0.78/ sq.ft. for commercial, collected to offset impacts of new residents and employees, respectively.. Monies collected are used for construction and reconstruction of school facilities. Because the development fees are specifically designed to offset the impacts of new development, less than significant impact to school services are expected. Mitigation: None Parks Less than Significant Impact. The City currently exceeds its level of service and the amount of parkland required by the QUIMBY Act. The City oversees 11 city parks, a civic center and three nature preserve areas. There are approximately 5,259 acres of open space areas set aside in the City. These developed open space recreational areas include a variety of city owned and maintained parks and facilities, County owned parks, Desert Recreation District facilities, and public and private golf courses. In addition, there are approximately 6,933 acres of natural open space areas within the City offering hiking trails, equestrian trails, and passive recreation opportunities. SPA No.3 allows the development of up to 95 multifamily units and associated parking in PA2, south of the existing commercial buildings in the Jefferson Square Specific Plan. In addition to the residential units, any multifamily project would require site amenities such as tot -lots, walking trail, gym, community room, courtyard, pool, and lobby. The project's recreational spaces would be available to the residents of the project. However, it is likely that the residents would use the existing recreational facilities throughout the City. Therefore, the project will comply with development impact fees in order to allow for the City's maintenance of the public facilities. With the payment of these fees, the project would result in less than significant impacts to parks. Mitigation: None Other Public Facilities No Impact. No increase in demand for government services or other public facilities is expected beyond those discussed in this section. Mitigation: None 264 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 107 16. RECREATION — Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial ❑ ❑ ® ❑ physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an ❑ ❑ ® ❑ adverse physical effect on the environment? Sources: La Quinta General Plan, La Quinta General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Setting: The City of La Quinta offers a variety of passive and active recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to the region. Within the City limits are five mini parks, including Eisenhower Park, Seasons Park, Saguaro Park, Desert Pride and Velasco Park. Neighborhood parks include Fritz Burns Park, Adams Park, Monticello Park, and Pioneer Park. The nearest park to the project is Monticello Park, located immediately west of the project site. The City also operates and maintains the La Quinta Wellness Center and La Quinta Museum which are located within the Village. The La Quinta Wellness Center provides fitness equipment and classes, and also provides services for senior residents. The La Quinta Museum provides residents with cultural activities, including art exhibits, programs, and events. The Desert Recreation District provides park facilities and recreation programs throughout the Coachella Valley. The Desert Recreation District operates the La Quinta Community Center and Park, located at 77865 Avenida Montezuma, includes a 6.5-acre park and 5,000 square foot community center. The 6.5-acre park includes ball fields, basketball courts, playground, picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms, an outdoor amphitheater, outdoor exercise facilities, and drinking fountains. The Community Center includes the La Quinta Fitness Center, kitchen, and concessions. In addition to community parks, walking and hiking trails also exist within the City of La Quinta. Hiking occurs in the southern portion of the City, south of the Cove neighborhood. The trails include the 8.92-mile Boo Hoff Trail southwest of the project, the 2.41-mile Cove to Lake Trail southwest of the project, and the 4-mile Bear Creek Trail southwest of the project. a-b) Less than Significant Impact. SPA No. 3 allows the development of up to 95 multifamily units in PA2. As shown in the SDP, a gym, community room, courtyard, pool, are proposed, consistent with the on -site recreational requirements of the SPA. The project's recreational spaces would be available to the residents of the project. However, it is likely that the residents would use the existing recreational facilities throughout the City. The 95 units would result in an increase in population of 225 people, which is not substantial and will not result in a need for expansion of existing City recreational facilities, particularly since the project includes on -site recreation. Impacts will be less than significant. Mitigation: None 265 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 108 17.

SettmU The proposed project is located at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street in the City of La Quinta. Access to the Jefferson Square Specific Plan site occurs at four existing driveways. Two access points are located on Fred Waring Drive and two access points are located on Jefferson Street. These access points can be utilized for emergency access. Fred Waring Drive, an east/west roadway, and Jefferson Street, a north/south roadway, are both designated Major Arterial roadways in the City's Circulation Element. Major Arterials have a total of 6 lanes divided by medians. Both roads are fully built out in this location with curb and gutter. Traffic is controlled by a traffic signal at the intersection of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The City's established goal for this intersection is a Level of Service (LOS) D or better, and the goal for roadway link segment operations is LOS C or better. Regional access to the site is provided by Interstate 10 to Jefferson Street (south) then south to Fred Waring Drive. Land uses north of Fred Waring Drive are residential, land uses east of Jefferson Street are Commercial. Land uses to the west are characterized as public park. Land to the south contains single family residential homes. The Specific Plan area was analyzed for 16,500 square feet of retail, 13,928 square feet of supermarket uses, a 42,500 square foot hardware store, a 4,500 square foot drive thru bank, and a 13,013 square foot pharmacy/drug store in 2008. Approximately 39,000 square feet of the retail uses have been constructed to date. Project Summary The SPA is currently proposing up to 95 units in PA2. PA1 has been developed and will remain as is. Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) The current recommended metric in the CEQA guidelines for transportation impacts is Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) per capita per SB 743. The legislative intent of SB 743 is to balance the needs of congestion management with statewide goals for infill development, promotion of public health through active transportation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. VMT is a measure of the amount of travel for all vehicles in a geographic region over a given period of time, typically a one-year period. According to the Governor's office of Planning and Research (OPR) proposed CEQA Guideline Implementing SB 743, projects that decrease vehicle miles traveled in a project area compared to existing conditions should be considered to have a less than significant transportation impact. 266 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 109 Based on OPR's Technical Advisory, the City of La Quinta has prepared their Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Policy (City Guidelines). The VMT analysis was prepared based on the adopted City Guidelines. The La Quinta Guidelines are consistent with the VMT analysis methodology recommended by OPR. a) Less Than Significant Impact. The City's General Plan includes policies that require LOS D as the minimum for intersection operations. Urban Crossroads, Inc. and Clyde E. Sweet and Associates prepared traffic impact analyses for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan in 2008. Each analysis found that traffic impacts to the then -proposed project were less than significant, and no mitigation measures were proposed. In order to assess current conditions and the proposed project, Translutions, Inc. prepared a memo describing the trip generation and vehicle miles traveled screening analysis for the proposed Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 project ("proposed project") in the City of La Quinta. The trip generation for entitled uses is based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11't' Edition). The land use codes for trip generation analysis are number 862 (Home Improvement Store) and number 822 (Strip Retail Plaza) for the proposed and existing 2008 Specific Plan. 2008 Jefferson Square Specific Plan Trip Generation The project site is currently entitled for a 42,500 square foot home improvement superstore and 7,000 of general retail uses. Approximately 39,000 square feet of strip retail has been constructed in the Jefferson Square Specific Plan area (PA1). The SPA would allow, as an option, the development of the balance of the commercial uses in PA2. Trip generation was calculated based on the proposed development for the project site, existing pharmacy/retail and the future retail pads in the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Area. Table XV11-1 shows the trip generation summary of the currently entitled uses.

This trip generation would be consistent with the commercial option proposed in the SPA for build out of the site as a commercial project. 267 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 110 Residential Project Trip Generation The current project SPA is proposing up to 95 multifamily dwelling units to replace the approved land uses located in the PA2 area of the Specific Plan. Access will remain the same. The trip generation for the proposed land use is based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (I I ' Edition). The ITE Land use codes utilized include number 220 (Multifamily Housing Low -Rise) and number 822 (Strip Retail Plaza). As shown in Table XVII-2, the proposed project is anticipated to generate a total of 2,040 trips per day on a typical weekday, 101 AM peak hour trips, and 212 PM peak hour trips for the entire SPA area. The SPA's residential project will therefore generate a total of 286 fewer trips than the 2,326 ADT of the total 2008 SP project.

The residential project would result in a slight increase of traffic during the AM Peak Hour (+8 ADT) and the PM Peak Hour (+1 ADT) however the daily total would decrease by 2 ADT when compared to commercial development. Overall, the either option implemented under the SPA would have equivalent and less than significant impacts. The General Plan EIR Determined that roadway segments on Fred Waring and Jefferson Street would operate at acceptable levels at General Plan buildout. The EIR further found that the intersection of Fred Waring and Jefferson Street will operate at an acceptable LOS C. The proposed project will generate comparable trips to what was analyzed in the General Plan EIR and less than significant impacts are anticipated. Congestion Management Plan 268 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page I II The County Congestion Management Plan (CMP) requires a LOS E or better for regional roadways. As noted previously the generation, distribution, and management of project traffic is not expected to conflict with the CMP; no CMP roadways occur in the vicinity of the project. The project and background traffic will not exceed City level of service standards or travel demand measures, or other standards established by the City or Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for designated roads or highways. The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) program identifies network backbone and local roadways that are needed to accommodate growth. The project proponent will be required to contribute development impact fees (e.g., traffic signal mitigation fees) and participate in the TUMF program. Following the payment of required fees such as TUMF and DIF, less than significand impacts are anticipated relative to the CMP. Alternative Transportation Sunline Transit Agency provides public bus service throughout the Coachella Valley. Sunline Transit Agency provides bus services along Fred Waring Drive with Route 6. The nearest bus stops are #247 (westbound) and #248 (eastbound) on Fred Waring Drive. Bus stop #247 is on the north side of Fred Waring Drive, directly north of the Specific Plan area, Bus stop #248 is located on the south side of Fred Waring Drive approximately 700 feet east of the project site. There is no bus service on Jefferson Street. According to the Active Transportation Plan, prepared by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), bike lanes do exist along both Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The La Quinta General Plan (GP) Bike Paths Master Plan indicates that there are Class II Bike Lanes along both Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The La Quinta GP Golf Cart/Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV)/Multi-use Paths exhibit indicates that a Class 11 golf cart / NEV path is located along Jefferson Street. The project would provide a pedestrian access network that internally links all uses and connects to all existing external streets and pedestrian facilities contiguous with the project site. The project would minimize barriers to pedestrian access and interconnectivity. The project includes sidewalk connections, particularly to / from the parking areas and associated uses. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in significant impacts to existing bike lanes. Temporary impacts may occur during construction; however, any bicycle access adjacent to the project will be restored to existing conditions. The City of La Quinta implements a Development Impact Fee (DIF.) The proposed project will therefore be subject to the DIF. The project design will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None b) Less Than Significant Impact. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) procedures for determination of transportation impacts consist of an evaluation of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), due to Senate Bill 743 (SB 743). Vehicle delay and level of service are still used in La Quinta traffic studies, as presented previously in this CEQA document. 269 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 112 To aid in the analysis of VMT, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released a Technical Advisory. Based on OPR's Technical Advisory, the City of La Quinta prepared their City Guidelines. A Project specific VMT Screening has been prepared based on the adopted City Guidelines. Methodology The City of La Quinta Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Policy sets forth screening criteria under which projects are not required to submit detailed VMT analysis. This guidance for determination of non- significant VMT impact is primarily intended to avoid unnecessary analysis and findings that would be inconsistent with the intent of SB 743. VMT screening criteria for development projects includes the following: Low VMT-Generating Area: Residential and office projects located within a low VMT generating area may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. In addition, other employment -related and mixed -use land use projects may qualify for the use of screening if the project can reasonably be expected to generate VMT per resident, per worker, or per service population that is similar to the existing land uses in the low VMT area. Project Screening The project site is located in Traffic Assessment Zone (TAZ) 921 of RIVCOM. The citywide VMT/Capita is 13.1. The VMT for TAZ 921 is 11.02 VMT/Capita, which is lower than the City threshold. Therefore, the project screens out of a VMT analysis and impacts are presumed to be less than significant. The proposed project will not increase the daily trips currently attributed to the 2008 Specific Plan. Conclusions The project is not anticipated to increase trip generation under either development scenario when compared to the 2008 Specific Plan and is located in a low VMT generating area. Therefore, changes to the Specific Plan can be presumed to have a less than significant impact. Mitigation: None c) Less than Significant Impact. The project will be developed in accordance with City standards and will not create a substantial increase in hazards due to a design feature. The project's access points will not be altered. The access points were developed with adequate sight distances and no change is proposed. The internal circulation system will provide adequate fire department access. A Traffic Control Plan may be required as a condition of approval to be implemented throughout all construction activities. This plan will work to reduce potential impacts that may arise due to conflicts with construction traffic. Impacts will be less than significant. The project's access points will be located with adequate sight distances, and project -generated traffic will be consistent with existing traffic in the area. The project is not anticipated to increase hazards due to geometric design feature or incompatible uses. Following the review and approval process at the City of La Quinta, impacts are less than significant without mitigation.. Mitigation: None 270 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 113 d) Less than Significant Impact. Emergency Access: Regional access to the project site will be provided via primary arterials, secondary arterials and a variety of local roads. The project will utilize the existing access points at Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street; both streets are a part of the City's existing grid system. The proposed project will include emergency access drives that allow access to all sides of the buildings for emergency vehicles. Prior to construction, both the Fire department and Police department will review project plans to ensure safety measures are addressed, including emergency access. The proposed project will not result in inadequate emergency access. Less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None 271 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 114 18. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES — Would Potentially Less Than Less Than No the project: Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Would the project cause a substantial Adverse change in the significance of a Tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resource Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: i)Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local ❑ ® ❑ ❑ Register of historical resources as defined in Public Resource Code Section 5020.1 k , or; ii)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 (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria ❑ ® ❑ ❑ set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe. Sources: CRM Tech Cultural Report Memorandum (2022) Setting: The Coachella Valley is a historical center of Native American settlement, where U.S. surveyors noted large numbers of Indian villages and rancherias occupied by the Cahuilla people in the mid-19th century. The origin of the name "Cahuilla" is unclear, but it may have originated from their own word kdwiya, meaning master or boss. The Takic-speaking Cahuilla are generally divided by anthropologists into three groups, according to their geographic setting: the Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass -Palm Springs area, the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains and the Cahuilla Valley, and the Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley. The Cahuilla did not have a single name that referred to an all-inclusive tribal affiliation. Instead, membership was in terms of lineages or clans. Each lineage or clan belonged to one of two main divisions of the people, known as moieties, which were named for the Wildcat, or Tuktum, and the Coyote, or Istam. Members of clans in one moiety had to marry into clans from the other moiety. Individual clans had villages, or central places, and territories they called their own for purposes of hunting game and gathering raw materials for food, medicine, ritual, or tool use. They interacted with other clans through trade, intermarriage, and ceremonies. Today, Native Americans of Pass or Desert Cahuilla heritage are mostly affiliated with one or more of the Indian reservations in and near the Coachella Valley, including Torres Martinez, Augustine, Cabazon, Agua Caliente, and Morongo. There has been a resurgence of traditional ceremonies, and the language, songs, and stories are now being taught to the younger generations. a i-ii) Less than Significant with Mitigation. As previously discussed in the Cultural Resources section of this document, a monitoring program was undertaken during earth -moving operations for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan project in 2008-2009, which encompassed the current project area in its entirety. The monitoring program resulted in the discovery of an isolated pottery sherd and human cremation site The sherd was found near the eastern boundary of the current project area, well outside of the boundaries 272 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 115 of any previously recorded sites in the vicinity and was determined not to qualify as a "historical resource". Therefore, it required no further treatment. The cremation remains were originally discovered to the north of the current project area but within the boundaries of Site 33-001769. In consultation with the nearby Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the remains were reinterred in the southwestern corner of the current project area at a depth of approximately eight feet below the surface, in an area designated for landscaping at the time. This cremation site meets the statutory/regulatory definition of a "historical resource" and thus requires proper protection under CEQA provisions. To ensure that all significant Tribal Cultural Resources are identified and fully considered, the City of La Quinta initiated consultation under both SB 18 and AB52. During the consultation period, the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians requested that a 10-foot by 10-foot easement to be developed at the reinterred site to avoid potential impacts to the site during operation.

Settm CVWD provides domestic and wastewater service to the project vicinity and is largest provider of potable water in the Coachella Valley. It operates more than 100 wells and serves a population of 283,000 in its service areas. CVWD's adopted 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan has been developed to assist the agency in reliably meeting current and future water demands in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, CVWD treats nearly 6.3 billion gallons of wastewater a year. CVWD operates six water reclamation plants and maintains more than 1,000 miles of sewer pipeline and more than 30 lift stations that transport wastewater to the nearest treatment facility. Groundwater is the primary source of domestic water supply in the Coachella Valley. CVWD is the largest provider of potable water in the Coachella Valley and currently provides potable water to the City of La Quinta. CVWD's 2020 Regional Urban Water Management Plan and 2022 Indio Subbasin Water Management Plan have been developed to assist the agency in reliably meeting current and future water demands in a cost-effective manner. The comprehensive Water Management Plan guides efforts to eliminate overdraft, prevent groundwater level decline, protect water quality, and prevent land subsidence. The 2020 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. CVWD has developed a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) pursuant to the State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2006-0003, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems. The primary goal of the SSMP is to minimize frequency and severity of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). The SSMP addresses the management, planning, design, and operation and maintenance of the District's sanitary sewer system. The wastewater system serves approximately 265,000 customers. The system collects municipal waste from residential and commercial users, delivering the collected wastewater to one of six Wastewater 274 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 117 Reclamation Plants. The system includes approximately 1,100 miles of sewer, 34 lift stations and approximately 17,000 manholes. At the City level, hydrology and stormwater standards required for the control of drainage and floodwater flows are established in Section 13.24.120 (A) of the La Quinta Municipal Code and in La Quinta Engineering Bulletin #06- 16 (Hydrology and Hydraulic Report Criteria for Storm Drain Systems). The City's stormwater regulations are designed to align with the MS4, NPDES, and CWA programs. The City's engineering review process ensures that improvement plans are reviewed for compliance with the City's requirements pertaining to grading, hydrology, and stormwater management prior to issuance of grading permits. The site is IID's service area for electricity, and will receive natural gas from Southern California Gas Company, and Frontier and Charter Communications for telecommunications. The site is currently connected to utility services located on Jefferson Street. Solid waste disposal and recycling services for the City of La Quinta 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 Badlands Disposal site has 15,748.799 cubic yards of remaining capacity, the El Sobrante Landfill has a remaining capacity of 145,530,000 tons of solid waste, and Lamb Canyon Disposal has a remaining solid waste capacity of 19,242,950 cubic yards. As part of its long-range planning and management activities, the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources (RCDWR) ensures that Riverside County has a minimum of 15 years of capacity, at any time, for future landfill disposal. The 15-year projection of disposal capacity is prepared each year as part of the annual reporting requirements for the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. The most recent 15-year projection by the RCDWR indicates that the remaining disposal capacity in year 2024 is 28,561,626 tons. a) Less than Significant Impact. The project site is in an urban setting currently served by existing utilities. Domestic water and wastewater services are provided to the site by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). The project would connect to the existing water and sewer mains along Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive. Imperial Irrigation District would continue to provide electric power to the site and SoCal Gas would continue natural gas services, telecommunication connections are provided by Frontier and Spectrum, all connections of these utilities are located within the Specific Plan area's boundary. The proposed project will not result in modifications to the drainage areas, water quality treatment, runoff quantities, or retention capacities already established for the site. The extension of all onsite utilities will occur within the project's existing footprint and no new construction of public water, wastewater, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities will need to be constructed or relocated. Therefore, less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: None b) Less than Significant Impact. CVWD's domestic water system has 64 pressure zones and consists of approximately 97 groundwater production wells, 2,000 miles of pipe, and 133 million gallons of storage in 65 enclosed reservoirs. CVWD's 2020 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP) has been developed to assist the agency in reliably meeting current and future water demands in a cost-effective manner. The comprehensive Water Management Plan guides efforts to eliminate overdraft, prevent groundwater level decline, protect water quality, and prevent land subsidence. Per the 2020 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP), CVWD anticipates that multi -family development is expected to use less water than existing properties due to the mandated use of high efficiency plumbing fixtures under the CalGreen building standards and reduced landscape water use mandated by CVWD's Landscape Ordinance. 275 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 118 The proposed project would connect into the existing infrastructure on Fred Waring and Jefferson Street through on -site improvements of water lines and will comply with the existing water management program in place. The addition of the 89 proposed for the SDP units will result in an increase to water demand. It is estimated that a project of this size could use 25,312 gallons of potable water per day or 2 8.3 5 acre feet per year (AFY), while the commercial option could use an estimated 12,750 gallons of potable water per day or 14.28 AFY. CVWD currently has total water demand of 87,959 AFY, and projects a demand of 137,629 AFY by 2035. These projections are based, in part, on the land use designations of parcels in its service area. The project water use, under multifamily scenario represents 0.021% of future demand, whereas the commercial scenario represents 0.010% of future demand. While the multifamily scenario is approximately twice that of the commercial scenario, either project scenario is anticipated to be within CVWD's future water capacity. The City's Municipal Code has several ordinances in place to ensure water supply and efficiency measures are in place. Additionally, the City has adopted CVWD's water -efficient landscape ordinance (in compliance with the Department of Water Resources Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance). This ordinance requires landscape design that incorporates climate appropriate plant material and efficient irrigation for all new and rehabilitated landscaping projects. Compliance with these ordinances will ensure that future development reduces water demand to meet target demands. The expansion will be expected to implement water conservation measures to reduce impacts to the public water supply per the CVWD UWMP. Therefore, less than significant impacts to water supplies are expected. Mitigation: None c) Less than Significant Impact. Wastewater from the City is conveyed to CVWD's Water Reclamation Plant No.7 (WRP-7) which has a capacity of 5.0 mgd and currently processes 2.8 mgd. The proposed project would connect into the existing sewer mains on Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street and provide waste water services to the site through a series of private sewer laterals. The proposed project's wastewater demand is estimated at 11,601 gallons per day, or 0.0116 mgd. Therefore, the estimated sewer demand for the project is anticipated to be nominal and within the treatment capacity of this plant. Table XIX-1 Projected Wastewater Demand Unit Description No. of Units Res. per Unit Gal. per Res. Gal per Day 1 bd / 1 bth Apartment Home 42 2.37 55 5,475 2 bd / 2 bth Apartment Home 29 2.37 55 3,780 3 bd Townhome 18 2.37 55 2,346 Total 89 11,601 The project will undergo review by CVWD to ensure wastewater capacity and compliance with the current wastewater treatment requirements. Additionally, sewer connection fees in place at the time of development will be collected by CVWD. No new or expanded treatment facilities are expected as a result of project implementation, or is the project expected to exceed wastewater capacity. Less than significant impacts are expected. Mitigation: None d) Less than Significant Impact. All future development would be required to comply with mandatory commercial and multifamily recycling requirements of Assembly Bill 341. The project will generate 320.4 276 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 119 cubic yards of solid waste during operation of the multifamily project. The waste generated by the project is approximately 2.03 percent of the remaining capacity at Badlands Disposal site; 0.0002 percent of El Sobrante Landfill's remaining capacity; and 0.002 percent of the remaining capacity of the Lamb Canyon Disposal site. Comparatively, the commercial option of the site would result in 506.16 cubic yards of solid waste per year. This is approximately 63.3 percent more than the proposed multifamily project. Burrtech's compliance with State and regional requirements will assure that the project will comply with all applicable solid waste statutes, policies and guidelines; and the project will be served by a landfill with sufficient capacity to serve the project. Therefore, less than significant impacts relative to solid waste are anticipated.

Mitigation: None e) No Impact. The project will comply with all applicable solid waste statutes, policies and guidelines. All development is required to comply with the mandatory commercial and multi -family recycling requirements of Assembly Bill 341. The project will also comply with the recycling requirements of Cal Green and develop a waste management plan that will include diverting at least 50% of construction and demolition material from landfills. No impacts are expected relative to applicable solid waste regulations. Mitigation: None 277 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 120 20. WILDFIRE — If located in or near state Potentially Less Than Less Than No responsibility areas or lands classified as very Significant Significant Significant Impact high fire hazard severity zones, would the Project: Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency ❑ ❑ ❑ response plan or emergency evacuationplan? b) 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? c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water resources, power lines ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? d) 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? Sources: CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps; La Quinta General Plan, and 2022 Safety Element Update; La Quinta General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Setting: A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Wildfires are often caused by humans or lighting and are exacerbated by steep slopes, dense vegetation (fuel), and dry and windy weather conditions. When these conditions are present, a wildfire can burn quickly and over a vast area, damaging hillsides, essential infrastructure, and homes and buildings. The northern and central portions of the City are primarily urbanized, with few remaining vacant areas. The southern and western portions of the City are occupied by the Santa Rosa Mountains, which are undeveloped, apart from the recreational uses (i.e., hiking trails) in this area. The undeveloped Santa Rosa Mountains in the southern portion of the City are characterized by steep topographic gradients that are typically conducive to spreading wildfires. However, wildfires in the undeveloped local mountains adjacent to the Coachella Valley cities are not common due to the mountains' natural terrain, which is steep, rocky, and dry. The topographic character of the Santa Rosa Mountains is not conducive for the growth of dense vegetation; and as a result, the amount of fuel available for wildland fires is limited. The flat urban and developed areas of La Quinta are considered low wildfires areas, as indicated in the La Quinta General Plan Safety Element (updated in 2022). A Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) is the line, area, or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or vegetation fuels. People and man-made structures in WUI areas are more susceptible to the impacts of wildfires due to their adjacency to areas that provide fuel to wildfires, such as forests with dense vegetation. The City of La Quinta's southern and western boundary is delineated by the Santa Rosa Mountains, introducing an urban-wildland interface to these areas of the City. However, the project site is located in the northern portion of the City, and is characterized by flat, urban land. The areas near the project site are absent of wildlands and the project is not located in an area identified as an WUI. a-d) No Impact. The Specific Plan area has been previously disturbed. The project is paved and includes parking spaces and landscaped medians. Graded, undeveloped pads are located on the west and south boundaries. The project site sits within an urban and developed context. 278 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 121 Based on historical data from 2013 to March 2021, no wildfire occurred within the City and SOI. There were three fires near the SOI, the largest being the Shady Fire in Thermal, a vegetation fire that burned 130 acres in May 2019. As shown in Exhibit IV-7 in the General Plan Safety Element, there are no state responsibility areas or very high fire hazard severity zones (VHFHSZ) in the City and SOI. Thus, the project is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, therefore, no impacts are anticipated. Mitigation: None 279 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 122 21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF Potentially Less Than Less Than No SIGNIFICANCE Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact with Mitigation Impact Incorporation a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or ❑ ® ❑ ❑ animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable ❑ ❑ ® ❑ when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on ❑ ❑ ® ❑ human beings, either directly or indirectly? a) Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. As concluded in the Biological Resources sections of this document, the proposed project would result in no impacts, less than significant impacts, or less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated to these resources. The project will not significantly degrade the overall quality of the region's environment, or substantially reduce the habitat of a wildlife species, case a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare of endangered plant or animal species. However, to avoid potential impacts to nesting birds, vegetation removal should be conducted outside the general bird nesting season and preconstruction surveys are required (per California Fish and Game Code and the MBTA). Per the analysis in the Cultural Resources section, the project would result in less than significant impacts with the implementation of mitigation measures. Thus, the project would not eliminate important examples of the major periods or California history or prehistory. However, Tribal monitors shall be required if excavations reach depths greater than 8 feet. Based upon the information and mitigation measures provided within this Initial Study, approval and implementation of the project is not expected to substantially alter or degrade the quality of the environment, including biological, cultural or historical resources. Less than significant impacts with mitigation are expected. b) Less than Significant Impact. The project is surrounded by commercial, recreational and residential development and the proposed project and location, is found to be adequate and consistent with existing federal, state and local policies and is consistent with the City of La Quinta 2035 General Plan and surrounding land use. Approval and implementation of the proposed project will result in less than significant impacts related to cumulatively considerable impacts. c) Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project will not result in impacts related to environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings. The project has been designed to comply with established design guidelines and current building standards. The City's review process will ensure that applicable guidelines are being followed. Based upon the findings provided in this document, and mitigation measures and standard conditions incorporated into the project, less than significant impacts are expected. 280 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024/Page 123 Appendix: A: CalEEMod Modeling B: Cultural Memo, CRM Tech C: Geotechnical Report 2008, Krazan and Associates D: Geotechnical Report Update 2022, Krazan and Associates E: Hydrology Report: DRC Engineering, Inc.

This comment introduces the letter and summarizes the project. Since the comment did not raise any questions or concerns with the IS/MND, no further response is warranted. Comment 3-b: Please be advised, all actions toward residential and commercial development including this project will result in an impact on our school system. The District's ability to meet the educational needs of the public with new schools has been seriously impacted by local, state, and federal budgets that have an impact on the financing of new schools. As you are aware, there is a school mitigation fee that is currently collected on all new development at the time building permits are issued. Prior to issuing a permit, please ensure all developers contact the District and make an appointment to pay the required school fees. A formal certificate of compliance will be provided to the developer upon receipt of payment. Please feel free to call me if you have further questions. Response 3-b: In this comment, DSUSD reiterates the Project's responsibility to pay the required school mitigation fee prior to issuing building permits.

The Project Description proposes SPA No. 3 to allow commercial retail (Option 1) or mixed -use development (Option 2) within the Specific Plan area. SPA No. 3 divides the Specific Plan area into Planning Area I (PAI) and Planning Area 2 (PA2).

SDP 22-0015 proposes an 89-unit multifamily project in PA2, and TTM No. 38604 proposes to subdivide the PA2 site into three lots. Based on our project review, we request consideration of the following comments: Response 5-a: The City thanks the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for participating in the review of the IS/MND. This comment introduces the letter and summarizes the project. The comment did not raise any questions or concerns with the IS/MND; therefore, no further response is warranted. The following comments and responses introduce and address DTSC's concerns. Comment 5-b• 1. If buildings or other structures are to be demolished on any project sites included in the proposed project, surveys should be conducted for the presence of lead -based paints or products, mercury, asbestos containing materials, and polychlorinated biphenyl caulk. Removal, demolition, and disposal of any of the above -mentioned chemicals should be conducted in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies. In addition, sampling near current and/or former buildings should be conducted in accordance with DTSC's Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) Guidance Manual. Response 5-b: The project does not propose to demolish buildings or structures on the project site. As indicated on page 2 of the Initial Study, project Planning Area 2 is currently vacant but includes horizontal improvements such as paved drive aisles and parking spaces, curb and gutter improvements, post - mounted lighting, landscaping, and two undeveloped pads. Demolition of the site would include the demolition of the existing parking lot areas in PA 2. Changes are not proposed in Planning Area 1. Therefore, surveys discovering lead -based paints or products, mercury, asbestos containing materials, and polychlorinated biphenyl caulk is not anticipated. Removal of asphalt or concrete, should it be required as part of Project construction, will be required by the City to comply with all local and State regulations. Comment 5-c• 2. All imported soil and fill material should be tested to ensure any contaminants of concern are within DTSC's and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Regional Screen Levels (RSLs) for the intended land use. To minimize the possibility of introducing contaminated soil City of La Quinta Page 17 Initial Study Response to Comments August 2024 298 and fill material there should be documentation of the origins of the soil or fill material and, if applicable, sampling be conducted to ensure that the imported soil and fill material meets screening levels outlined in the PEA for the intended land use. The soil sampling should include analysis based on the source of the fill and knowledge of the prior land use. Additional information can be found by visiting DTSC's Human and Ecological Risk Office (HERO)webpage. Response 5-c: As discussed on page 60 and 61 of the Initial Study, the project soil types primarily consist of Myoma fine sand (MaD and MaB). During Krazan & Associates inspection of the site in 2022, they observed a weathered contion of the subgrade at the existing vacant pads in PA 2. The near surface soils were found to possess varying in -place densities and moisture contents. Therefore, Krazan & Associates recommended remedial grading (conducted in compliance with City standards), overexcavation and recompaction at the building foundation and parking areas to ensure the subsurface conditions are suitable for the proposed multifamily buildings and parking. This is required as Mitigation Measure GEO-1, listed below. Per GEO-1, any undocumented fill or buried structures encountered during grading or construction should be removed, and replaced (or backfilled) with Engineered Fill. According to the Geotechnical Report, the upper organic -free, on -site native soils are predominately silty sands and sands, and are suitable for reuse as non - expansive Engineered Fill, provided they are cleansed of organics and debris. However, should imported soil and fill material be required at the project, the project will test the imported soil or fill per DTSC's request. This will be included as GEO-2 (included below). GEO-1: Overexcavation and Recompaction — Building and Foundation Areas To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the buildings and other foundations, overexcavation and recomposition within the proposed building footprint areas should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should be determined by the geotechnical field experts during construction. The exposed subgrade at the base of the overexcavation should then be scarified, moisture -conditioned as necessary, and compacted. The overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally five feet (5') beyond edges of the proposed footing or building limits. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. This will apply to Buildings 1, 4, 5, and 6. For Building 2 and 3, recommendations presented on the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation should be followed. Overexcavation and Recompaction — Proposed Parking Areas To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the proposed parking and drive areas, overexcavation and recompaction of the near surface soil in the proposed parking area should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades or proposed subgrade, whichever is deeper. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 18 August 2024 299 should also extend laterally at least three (3) feet beyond edges of the proposed paving limits or to the property boundary. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. Any buried structures encountered during construction should be properly removed and the resulting excavations backfilled with Engineered Fill, compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density based on ASTM Test Method D 1557. Excavations, depressions, or soft and pliant areas extending below planned finished subgrade levels should be cleaned to firm, undisturbed soils and backfilled with Engineered Fill. Concrete footings should be removed to an equivalent depth of at least 3 feet below proposed footing elevations or as recommended by the Soils Engineer. Any other buried structures encountered, should be removed in accordance with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer. The resulting excavations should be backfilled with Engineered Fill. A representative of a professional geotechnical firm should be present during all site clearing and grading operations to test and observe earthwork construction. This testing and observation is an integral part of the service as acceptance of earthwork construction is dependent upon compaction of the material and the stability of the material. The soils engineer may reject any material that does not meet compaction and stability requirements. GEO-2: During grading and construction of the site, the project shall use the upper organic - free, on -site, native soils to backfill or replace removed soil. Should the project require imported soil and fill material, it should be tested to ensure any contaminants of concern are within DTSC's and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Regional Screen Levels (RSLs) for the intended land use. To minimize the possibility of introducing contaminated soil and fill material there should be documentation of the origins of the soil or fill material and, if applicable, sampling be conducted to ensure that the imported soil and fill material meets screening levels outlined in the PEA for the intended land use. The soil sampling should include analysis based on the source of the fill and knowledge of the prior land use. Additional information can be found by visiting DTSC's Human and Ecological Risk Office (HERO)webpage. Comment 5-d: DTSC believes the City of La Quinta must address these comments to determine if any significant impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will occur and, if necessary, avoid significant impacts under CEQA. DTSC appreciates the opportunity to comment on the AND for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment and Flora Residential Project. Thank you for your assistance in protecting California's people and environment from the harmful effects of toxic substances. If you have any questions or would like any clarification on DTSC's comments, please respond to this letter or via email for additional guidance. City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 19 August 2024 300 Response 5-d: As stated in Response 5-b, the project does not propose to demolish buildings or structures on the project site. Demolition of the site would include the demolition of the existing parking lot areas in PA 2. Therefore, lead -based paints or products, mercury, asbestos containing materials, and polychlorinated biphenyl caulk is not anticipated at the site. Additionally, as stated in Response 5- c, imported soil and fill material may be required at the site during grading and construction. Therefore, Mitigation Measure GEO-2 was added to ensure the soil or fill material does not contain contaminants of concern within DTSC's and USEPA Regional Screen Levels. With the implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 and GEO-2, the project would not result in significant impacts under CEQA. In this comment, DTSC concludes the letter. No further concerns are introduced. Therefore, no further response is warranted.

We have reviewed the documents and have the following comments: • On pg. 46 of the MND under Section 5. Cultural Resources part C) "Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? ", should be Potentially Significant Impact as previous ground disturbing activities have already resulted in the discovery of cremation remains. • Please contact our office to schedule a Tribal Monitor if Cabazon does not provide one. Again, the Agua Caliente appreciates your interest in our cultural heritage. If you have questions or require additional information, please call me at (760) 423-3485. You may also email me at ACBCI-THPO(a,aguacaliente. net. Response 6-a: The City thanks the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) for participating in the review of the IS/MND. In this comment, the ACBCI introduces two comments. The first being the potentially significant impact to cremation remains. The ACBCI requested that the level of significance be changed to a "potentially significant impact" because previous activity already discovered the cremation remains. Threshold discussion c), analyzing the disturbance of any human remains including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries, describes the requirements of State law pertaining to contacting the coroner to first determine if remains are recent/modern. If they are historic the issue is then handled by the onsite tribal monitor as described in Mitigation Measure CUL-1. The discussion correctly finds that impacts will be less than significant with the implementation of this mitigation measure. As stated on page 48 of the MND, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 states: "The presence of a qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor shall be required during all project related ground disturbing activities at and around the reinterred resource site. If disturbances to that location — and potentially to the depth of eight feet — cannot be avoided, with the applicant shall work with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians regarding the possibility of moving the cremation remains to a different portion of the project area, and shall demonstrate to the City in writing that this agreement has been executed and undertaken to the Tribe's satisfaction. The project applicant shall record a permanent 10-foot by 10-foot easement at the reinterred site at the southwest corner of the project, in favor of the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians concurrent with recordation of the Parcel Map." The second comment requests that if the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians do not provide a Tribal Monitor, that the project applicant/developer contact the ACBCI to schedule a Tribal Monitor. The City will assure that the project applicant contact the ACBCI if Cabazon Band of Mission Indians do not provide a Tribal Monitor. City of La Quinta Page 22 Initial Study Response to Comments August 2024 303 Letter 7 — Imperial Irrigation District COMMENT LETTER NO.7 11D ' rnwin May 29,2024 Ms. Nlcoie Cdste Project Planner Development & Design Department City of La Quinta 78495 Caile Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 www.ild.com Since 1911 SUBJECT: N01 to Adopt an NIND for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 Dear Ms. Crlste: On May 14, 2024. the Imperlai Irrigation District received from the City of La Quinta Design & Development Deptartment, a request for agency comments on the Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Jefferson Square Specific Plan Amendment No. 3. The applicant is proposing Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 to allow commercial retail (Option 1) or mixed -use development (Option 2) within the Specific Plan area_ SPA No- 3 divides the Specific Plan area into two Planning Areas. PA1 is the northern portion of the site that is currently developed with commercial retail, and PA2 is the southern portion of the site that is currently undeveloped. Option 1 would allow PAII 7_a and PA2 to remain oorrrmercW retail, and Option 2 would allow the development of up to 95 residential units within PA2. Concurrently, the project applicant seeks approval of a Site Development Permit 2022-0015 and Tentative Tract Map No. 38604. SDP 2022- 0015 proposes an 89-unit multifamily project in PA2. and TTM No. 38604 proposes to subdivide the PA2 site into three lots_ The project site is located at the southwest comer of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive (APNs 604-521-013 and -014). The IID has reviewed the project information and has the fallowing comments: 1. Based on the preliminary information provided to I D. the district can accommodate the power requirement for the project with a new underground backbone line extension (conduit and cable) from circuit N921 with existing circuit reconfigurations and/or upgrades to existing PMH Switch No. 1196915 located northeast side of Miles Avenue and Jefferson Street to existing PMH Switch No. 1060701 located along the west side of Jefferson Street before Independence 7-h Way. 2. IID will not begin any studies to provide electrical service to a project and determine a final cast until the applicant submits a customer project appllcatlon (available fr}r download at the website http:/hwww.iid.mmlhomelshowdocument?id=12923 and IMPERIAL IRRICATION0ISTRICr • p0.80X93; • IMPERIAL.(:A91251 City of La Quinta Page 23 Initial Study Response to Comments August 2024 304 Noole Gr ste May 29, 2024 Page 2 detalled loading information, panel Sizes, project schedule and estimated in- service date. Applicant shall bear all costs associated with providing electrical service to the project, including but not limited to the construction of new distribution overhead and/or underground backbones, line extensions, upgrades or reconfigurations, which based on current 2024 lID rates, are estimated to be $400,000 (subject to change without notice); as well as the costs of any other related upgrades and applicable permits, zoning changes, landscaping (if required by the City) and riights-of-way and easements. 3. It is important to note that once a final study is developed based on the customer's application and loading calculations, the results will allow IID to perform an accurate assessment and provide a full report of arry potential impacts and mitigation measures, The conditions of service could change as a result of the study. 4. The distrjct's at)ility to provide service frorn existing infrastructure is based on current available capacity, which may be lmpacted by future development in the area. The projects must progress toward completion as IID is unable to hold system capacity to the detriment of other customers. Underground infrastructure that includes trenching, with new 4-6" conduits, pull boxes, switch boxes and pads should be installed by the applicant following lID approved plans and within the }public utility easement or a dedicated easement, if applicable, Physical field installation of underground infrastructures should be verified and approved by an IID inspector prior to cable installation per IID Devetoper s Guide(hnps:flwww.lid-co rn/hornaishowdocument' ld=14229). 5. Line extensions to serve the project will be made in accordance with IlD Regulations: No.2 (htto:llwww.lid.com/home/showdocument?id=2540), No.13 (htto:ffwww,aid.cam/home/showdocument?id--2553), No.15 (htto:llwway.lid.comlhomelshowdocument?id=2565) 7 Pnr additlanal information regarding electrical sQrvice for the projects, the applicant should be advised to contact the IID Energy - La Quinta Division Customer Operatic ns, 81-600 Avenue 58 La Quinta, CA 92253, at (760) 398-5841 and speak with the project development planner assigned to the area. 5, It is important to note that M's policy is to extend its electrical facllities only to those projects that have obtained the approval of a city or county planning romrniission and such other governmental authority or decision -making body having jurisdiction over said projects. 7-b City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 24 August 2024 305 Nicole Cristo May 29.2024 Page 3 9. The applicani will be requifed to provide rights of ways and easements for any proposed pourer line extensions andlor any other infrastructure needed to serve the prejact as well as the necessary access to allow for conflnued operation and rr ai nteria nee of any I I D facilities located on adjoining properties. 10.Any construction or operation on iID property or within its existing and proposed right of way of easements including but not limited to: surface improvements such as proposed new streets. driveways. parking Dots, landscape; and all water, sewer, storm water, or any other above ground or underground utilities, will require an encroachment permit, or encroachment agreement (depending on the circumstances). A oopyofthe iiD encroachment permit application and instructions for its completion are available at https�Ilwww.iid.co.rnia.bout-iidldepartment- directory#real-estate_ The IID Real Estate Section should be contacted at (760) 339-9239 for additional information regarding encroachment permits or agreements_ 11. Any new, relocated, modified or reconstructed Ii0 facilities required for and by the projects (which can include but is not 11mited to electrical utility substations, electrical transmission and distributlon lines; the acquisition and dedication of real property, rights of way andlor easements for the siting and construction of electrical utility substations, electrical transmission andlor distribution lines and ancillary facilities associated with the conveyanoe of energy service, etc.) need to be included as part of the prcjeofs California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) andlor National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation, environmental impact analysis and mitigation. Failure to do so will result in postponement of any construction andlor modification at lI❑ facilitles until such time as 1he environmental documentation is amended and environmental impacts are fully mitigated_ Any mitigation necessary as a result of the construction, relocation and/or upgrade of III] facilities is the responsibility of the project proponent. 12. Dividing a project into two or more pieces and evaluating each piece in a s+eparee environmental document (Piecetnealing or Segmenting), rather than evaluating the whole of the project in one environmental document, hs explicitly forbidden by CEQA, because dividing a project into a number of pieces would allow a Lead Agency to rnInimi7_a the apparent a nviron rn enta I impacts of a project by evaluating individual pleces separately, each of which may have a less -than -significant impact on the environment, but which together may result in a significant impact. Segmenting a project may also hinder developing comprehensive mitigation strategles. In general, if an activity or facility is necessary for the operation of a project, or necessary to achieve the project objectives, or a reasonably forosocabl0 consequenoe of approving the project, then it should be considered an integral project component that should be analyzed within tha environmental analysis. The project descrip#ion should include all project components, including those that wilh have to to approved by responsible agencies_ The State CEQA Guidelines define 7-b City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 25 August 2024 306 Nieolu Criste May 29, 2024 Page 4 a project under CEQA as "the whole of the action" that may result either directly or indirectky to physical changes to the environment.

The applicant is proposing Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 to allow commercial retail (Option 1) or mixed -use development (Option 2) within the Specific Plan area. SPA No. 3 divides the Specific Plan area into two Planning Areas. PAI is the northern portion of the site that is currently developed with commercial retail, and PA2 is the southern portion of the site that is currently undeveloped. Option I would allow PAI and PA2 to remain commercial retail, and Option 2 would allow the development of up to 95 residential units within PA2. Concurrently, the project applicant seeks approval of a Site Development Permit 2022-0015 and Tentative Tract Map No. 38604. SDP 2022-0015 proposes an 89-unit multifamily project in PA2, and TTM No. 38604 proposes to subdivide the PA2 site into three lots. The project site is located at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive. The IID has reviewed the project information and has the following comments: Response 7-a: The City thanks the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) for participating in the review of the IS/MND. In this comment, IID introduces the intent of their comment letter and summarizes the project. The comment did not raise any questions or concerns with the IS/MND; therefore, no further response is warranted. Comment 7-b: 1. Based on the preliminary information provided to IID, the district can accommodate the power requirement for the project with a new underground backbone line extension (conduit and cable) from circuit N921 with existing circuit reconfigurations and/or upgrades to existing PMH Switch No. 1196915 located northeast side of Miles Avenue and Jefferson Street to existing PMH Switch No. 1060701 located along the west side of Jefferson Street before Independence Way. 2. IID will not begin any studies to provide electrical service to a project and determine a final cost until the applicant submits a customer project application (available for download at the website htW:Ilwww.iid.com/homelshowdocument?id=12923 and detailed loading information, panel sizes, project schedule and estimated in-service date. Applicant shall bear all costs associated with providing electrical service to the project, including but not limited to the construction of new distribution overhead and/or underground backbones, line extensions, upgrades or reconfigurations, which based on current 2024 IID rates, are estimated to be $400, 000 (subject to change without notice); as well as the costs of any other related upgrades and applicable permits, zoning changes, landscaping (if required by the City) and rights -of -way and easements. 3. It is important to note that once a final study is developed based on the customer's application and loading calculations, the results will allow IID to perform an accurate City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 27 August 2024 308 assessment and provide a full report of any potential impacts and mitigation measures. The conditions of service could change as a result of the study. 4. The district's ability to provide service from existing infrastructure is based on current available capacity, which may be impacted by future development in the area. The projects must progress toward completion as IID is unable to hold system capacity to the detriment of other customers. 5. Underground infrastructure that includes trenching, with new 4-6" conduits, pull boxes, switch boxes and pads should be installed by the applicant following HD approved plans and within the public utility easement or a dedicated easement, if applicable. Physical field installation of underground infrastructures should be verified and approved by an HD inspector prior to cable installation per HD Developer's Guide (httD:Ilwww.iid.com/homelshowdocument?id=14229). 6. Line extensions to serve the project will be made in accordance with HD Regulations: No.2 (http://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=2540), No. 13 (http://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=2553), No. 15 (http://www.iid.com/home/showdocument?id=2555) 7. For additional information regarding electrical service for the projects, the applicant should be advised to contact the HD Energy — La Quinta Division Customer Operations, 81-600 Avenue 58 La Quinta, CA 92253, at (760) 398-5841 and speak with the project development planner assigned to the area. 8. It is important to note that HD's policy is to extend its electrical facilities only to those projects that have obtained the approval of a city or county planning commission and such other governmental authority or decision -making body having jurisdiction over said projects. 9. The applicant will be required to provide rights of ways and easements for any proposed power line extensions and/or any other infrastructure needed to serve the project as well as the necessary access to allow the continued operation and maintenance of any IID facilities located on adjoining properties. 10. Any construction or operation on HD property or within its existing and proposed right of way or easements including but not limited to: surface improvements such as proposed new streets, driveways, parking lots, landscape; and all water, sewer, storm water, or any other above ground or underground utilities; will require an encroachment permit, or encroachment agreement (depending on the circumstances). A copy of the HD encroachment agreement permit application and instructions for its completion are available at http://Www.iid.com/about-iid/department-directory/real-estate. The HD Real Estate Section should be contacted at (760) 339-9239 for additional information regarding encroachment permits or agreements. City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 28 August 2024 309 11. Any new, relocated, modified or reconstructed HD facilities required for and by the projects (which can include but is not limited to electrical utility substations, electrical transmission and distribution lines; the acquisition and dedication of real property, rights of way and/or easements for the siting and construction of electrical utility substations, electrical transmission and/or distribution lines and ancillary facilities associated with the conveyance of energy service, etc.) need to be included as part of the project's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation, environmental impact analysis and mitigation. Failure to do so will result in postponement of any construction and/or modification of HD facilities until such time as the environmental documentation is amended and environmental impacts are fully mitigated. Any mitigation necessary as a result of the construction, relocation and/or upgrade of HD facilities is the responsibility of the project proponent. 12. Dividing a project into two or more pieces and evaluating each piece in a separate environmental document (Piecemealing or Segmenting), rather than evaluating the whole of the project in one environmental document, is explicitly forbidden by CEQA, because dividing a project into a number of pieces would allow a Lead Agency to minimize the apparent environmental impacts of a project by evaluating individual pieces separately, each of which may have a less -than -significant impact on the environment, but which together may result in a significant impact. Segmenting a project may also hinder developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. In general, if any activity or facility is necessary for the operation of a project, or necessary to achieve the project objectives, or a reasonably foreseeable consequence of approving the project, then it should be considered an integral consequence of approving the project, then it should be considered an integral project component that should be analyzed within the environmental analysis. The project description should include all project components, including those that will have to be approved by responsible agencies. The State CEQA Guidelines define a project under CEQA as "the whole of the action " that may result either directly or indirectly in physical changes to the environment. This broad definition is intended to provide the maximum protection of the environment. CEQA case law has established general principles on project segmentation for different project types. For a project requiring construction of offsite infrastructure, the offsite infrastructure must be included in the project description. San Joaquin Raptor/Wildlife Rescue Center v. County of Stanislaus (1994) 27 Cal.App. 4th 713. Response 7-b: In this comment, IID states that the project shall provide new underground backbone line extension and/or upgrade existing switches in order for the district to accommodate the power requirement for the project and details their requirements for the provision of power. The project applicant is required to submit a customer project application in order for III) to begin a study to provide electrical service to a project. The comment does not raise CEQA concerns, and only addresses the utility's requirements. No further response is warranted. Comment 7-c: City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 29 August 2024 310 13. To address the project impacts to the electrical utility (i.e., the HD electrical grid), consider under the environmental factor "Utilities and Services " of the Environmental Checklist/Initial Study, and determine if the project would require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded electric power facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects; a circuit study/distribution impact study, facility study, and/or system impact study must be performed, and clearly wasn't. Response 7-c: The Energy section of the IS/MND, at page 50, determined the likely electricity consumption from operation of the project and analyzed whether the project would exceed IID's projected consumption. The IS/MND concluded that the project would account for approximately 0.015 percent of IID's demand in 2031. The City will require the applicant to consult with and receive approval from IID at the time of development. Comment 7-d: 14. Applicant should be advised that landscaping can be dangerous if items are planted too close to IID's electrical equipment. In the event of an outage, or equipment failure, it is vital that HD personnel have immediate and safe access to its equipment to make the needed repairs. For public safety, and that of the electrical workers, it is important to adhere to standards that limit landscaping around electrical facilities. HD landscaping guidelines are available at http://www.iid.com/energy/vegetation-management. Response 7-d: The project shall comply with the guidelines so that landscaping is not planted too close to IID's equipment, and IID personnel have immediate and safe access to its equipment. Comment 7-e• Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (760) 482-3609 or at dvar aass(c iid.com. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter.

Comment 8-c• GENERAL INFORMATION This project may require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Clearance for grading, recordation, or other final approval should not be given until the City has determined that the project has been granted a permit or is shown to be exempt. If this project involves a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mapped floodplain, then the City should require the applicant to provide all studies, calculations, plans, and other information required to meet FEMA requirements, and should further require that the applicant obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) prior to grading, recordation, or other final approval of the project and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) prior to occupancy. The project proponent shall bear the responsibility for complying with all applicable mitigation measures defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document (i.e., Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Environmental Impact Report) and/or Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, if a CEQA document was prepared for the project. The project proponent shall also bear the responsibility for complying with all other federal, state, and local environmental rules and regulations that may apply. If a natural watercourse or mapped floodplain is impacted by this project, the City should require the applicant to obtain a Section 1602 Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and a Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or written correspondence from these agencies indicating the project is exempt from these requirements. A Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification may be required from the local California Regional Water Quality Control Board prior to issuance of the Corps 404 permit. Response 8-c: City of La Quinta Initial Study Response to Comments Page 34 August 2024 315 The project proponent is required, as a condition of the City's project approval to implement and comply with all NPDES requirements. The City agrees that the project proponent is required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental rules and regulations. Compliance with waste discharge requirements will be achieved through compliance with the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities. This is stated on page 77 and 78 if the IS/MND. Specifically, the IS/MND states, at page 78: "In summary, during construction and operation, project implementation will require plan - based compliance with CWA, NPDES, and local regulations to prevent impacts to water quality standards and the beneficial uses assigned to local receiving waters. In summary, during construction and operation, project implementation will require compliance with CWA, NPDES, and local regulations to prevent impacts to water quality standards and the beneficial uses assigned to local receiving waters. Following City engineering review and approval, the stormwater capture and management strategy for on- and off -site runoff will avoid waste discharge violations through the use of existing retention facilities. Regarding groundwater quality, the project would not introduce new land use conditions conflicting with or otherwise degrading ground water quality and resource management. The existing and approved water quality devices installed in the storm drain system (hydrodynamic separators and drywell) will continue to adequately serve the SP, entire plaza and tributary street frontage as a pre-treatment for stormwater runoff prior to on -site infiltration. Less than significant impacts are expected." The project site is not mapped as a Special Flood Hazard Area and less than significant impacts are anticipated pertaining to flood hazards and any of the necessary flood control measures are addressed by the Drainage Master Plan. With the implementation of on- and off -site flood control infrastructure, less than significant impacts are anticipated relating to flood hazards.

Prior to commencement of clearing, a qualified Qualified moving significant biologist shall conduct preconstruction surveys within 14 days. If any Biologist activities active nests are detected a buffer of 300 feet (500 feet for raptors) around the nest adjacent to construction will be delineated, flagged, and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete. The buffer may be modified and/or other recommendations proposed as determined appropriate by the biologist to minimize impacts. V. Cultural CUL-1: The presence of a qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor Resources shall be required during all project related ground disturbing activities at and around the reinterred resource site. If disturbances to that location — Planning and potentially to the depth of eight feet — cannot be avoided, the applicant Department shall work with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians regarding the possibility of moving the cremation remains to a different portion of the Qualified During grading project area, and shall demonstrate to the City in writing that this Archaeologist and other agreement has been executed and undertaken to the Tribe's satisfaction. Developer ground Less than The project applicant shall record a permanent 10-foot by 10-foot disturbing significant easement at the reinterred site at the southwest corner of the project, in Approved favor of the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians concurrent with recordation Native activities of the Parcel Map. American In the event that potentially significant archaeological materials are Monitor discovered, all work must be halted in the vicinity of the archaeological Developer discovery until the archaeologist can assess the significance of the find, and its potential eligibility for listing in the California Register of City of La Quinta Initial Study Mitigation and Monitoring Program Page 1 August 2024 321 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Section Mitigation Measures Responsible for Monitoring Timing Impact after Mitigation Historical Resources (CRHC). Should buried cultural deposits be encountered, the monitor may request that destructive construction halt in the vicinity of the deposits, and the monitor shall notify a qualified archaeologist (Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines), within 24 hours, to investigate. Additional consultation with the tribes may be required. VII. GEO-1: Overexcavation and Recompaction — Building and Foundation Geology and Areas Soils To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the buildings and other foundations, overexcavation and recomposition within the proposed building footprint areas should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should be determined by the geotechnical field experts during Planning construction. The exposed subgrade at the base of the overexcavation Department should then be scarified, moisture -conditioned as necessary, and compacted. The overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally five feet (5') beyond edges of the proposed footing or building Project Soil During Less than limits. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be Engineer construction significant removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. This will apply to Buildings 1, 4, 5, and 6. For Buildings 2 and 3, recommendations presented in the Project Geotechnical Engineering Investigation should be followed. Construction Overexcavation and Recompaction — Proposed Parking Areas Contractor To reduce post -construction soil movement and provide uniform support for the proposed parking and drive areas, overexcavation and recompaction of the near surface soil in the proposed parking area should be performed to a minimum depth of at least twelve (12) inches below existing grades or proposed subgrade, whichever is deeper. The actual depth of the overexcavation and recompaction should also extend laterally at least three 3 feet beyond edges of the proposed paving limits or to the City of La Quinta Initial Study Mitigation and Monitoring Program Page 2 August 2024 322 Jefferson Square Flora Residential Project Section Mitigation Measures Responsible for Monitoring Timing Impact after Mitigation property boundary. Any undocumented fill encountered during grading should be removed and replaced with Engineered Fill. Any buried structures encountered during construction should be properly removed and the resulting excavations backfilled with Engineered Fill, compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density based on ASTM Test Method D1557. Excavations, depressions, or soft and pliant areas extending below planned finished subgrade levels should be cleaned to firm, undisturbed soils and backfilled with Engineered Fill. Concrete footings should be removed to an equivalent depth of at least 3 feet below proposed footing elevations or as recommended by the Soils Engineer. Any other buried structures encountered, should be removed in accordance with the recommendations of the Soils Engineer. The resulting excavations should be backfilled with Engineered Fill. A representative from a professional geotechnical firm should be present during all site clearing and grading operations to test and observe earthwork construction. This testing and observation is an integral part of the service as acceptance of earthwork construction is dependent upon compaction of the material and the stability of the material.

INTRODUCTION A. AUTHORITY AND SCOPE Section 65450 of the California Government Code grants local planning agencies the authority to prepare a specific plan of development or specific plan amendment over a given piece of property. The Jefferson Square Specific Plan ("Specific Plan") is consistent with this authority and is developed in accordance with the City of La Quinta (the "City") Zoning Code, Chapter 9.240: Specific Plans. To approve the Specific Plan, City Council must make findings required by the City Zoning Code, Chapter 9.240: Specific Plans. B. PURPOSE AND INTENT The City approved the Jefferson Square Specific Plan 2002-062 in 2004, followed by Amendment No. I in 2005 and finally Amendment No. 2 in 2008. Amendment No. 3 has been prepared to address the land use issues associated with future development of the Specific Plan area in sufficient detail to ensure that the Specific Plan area develops in a manner which is consistent with the General Plan; protects public health, safety, and general welfare; is compatible with zoning on adjacent properties; and is suitable and appropriate for the subject property. Ultimately the project seeks to provide the surrounding community with high quality and convenient commercial retail as well as multifamily housing opportunities. In both text and illustration, this document depicts the character and configuration of the various components comprising the Specific Plan and establishes a foundation document that will govern further development of the site. In this way, the Specific Plan will serve to implement the City of La Quinta General Plan by specifying appropriate land uses, intensity of use, and development standards which are consistent with General Plan goals, objectives, and policies. The Specific Plan is a flexible document, which allows minor modifications to accommodate minor changes to floor areas, tenant uses, or residential development standards, as described in Section VII. In cases where the zoning and development regulation is nonspecific within this document, the City's Zoning Ordinance will apply. Amendment No. 3 supersedes all prior Specific Plan documents, including Specific Plan 2002-062, Amendment No. I and Amendment No. 2. C. DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION Amendment No. 3 is organized into seven sections. • Section I provides a regulatory context for the project and an overview of key project elements. • Section II provides a context for project planning and design by briefly describing the project's existing setting in terms of regulatory land use designations and surrounding land uses. • Section III presents the primary master plan components of the Specific Plan. • Section IV describes the development standards to which the project must adhere. • Section V contains design guidelines with respect to landscaping and architecture to ensure that the project is of a high quality and is well integrated into the community's character. • Section VI discusses key operational guidelines for the project. • Section VII outlines plan administration and implementation procedures. May 2024 6 338 Specific Plan Jefferson Square D. PROJECT LOCATION From a regional perspective, the Specific Plan area is located in the Coachella Valley within the City of La Quinta as shown in Figure I: Regional Location Map. As shown in Figure 2: Vicinity Map, the Specific Plan area is located at the southwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. The project site is bounded by a residential development to the north; a commercial retail center within the City of Indio to the east; a well site, City park area, and retention basin to the west; and single-family residential along the southern boundary of the site. Amendment No. 3 divides the Specific Plan area into two planning areas, (i) Planning Area I ("PA I") and (ii) Planning Area 2 ("PA2") as illustrated in Figure 2: Vicinity Map. PA includes 5.17 acres of the northern portion of the Specific Plan area and is currently occupied by five retail buildings varying in size and totaling approximately 39,000 square feet (sq. ft.). Any future development in PA I may require a subsequent Specific Plan Amendment, Site Development Permit (SDP) or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) subject to the PA I Land Use & Development Regulations outlined in Section IV A. PA2 includes 5.10 acres in the southern portion of the Specific Plan area and except for completed roadway and parking improvements, remains undeveloped. PA2 improvements include a driveway along Jefferson Street, parking lot areas, stormwater management system, utility infrastructure, landscape improvements, and two pads. This Specific Plan Amendment would allow either multi -family or commercial development to occur in the future.

PROJECT HISTORY May 2024 10 342 Specific Plan Jefferson Square The City approved the Jefferson Square Specific Plan 2002-062 in January 2004. In its initial form, the Specific Plan proposed a 113,173 sq. ft. commercial retail center on a 10.7-acre site. In November 2005, Amendment No. I was approved to alter the site plan and reduce the proposed commercial retail square footage to 100,731 sq. ft. In May 2008, Amendment No. 2 was approved whereby the site plan was again altered and the proposed commercial retail square footage was once again reduced to 90,441 sq. ft. Concurrent with Amendment No. 2, the Planning Commission approved SDP 2007-898. A copy of the Amendment No. 2 site plan is provided as Figure 5: Amendment No. 2 Site Plan, for reference purposes. Construction of the Specific Plan area began in 2008. By 2009, four retail buildings were constructed in PA I totaling approximately 38,000 sq. ft. Constructed retail buildings include those buildings identified in Figure 5 as Drug, Shops 2, Shops 3, and Fresh & Easy (note: to streamline the Specific Plan naming convention, all existing PA I buildings have been renamed as depicted in Figure 11). Onsite and offsite horizontal improvements were also constructed throughout the entire Specific Plan area (PAI and PA2), including three certified pads (one on PA and two on PA2) identified in Figure 5 as Pad A, Shops I, and Major, parking lots, driveways, stormwater management system, utility infrastructure, landscape improvements, and public sidewalks and parkways. In 2013, Parcel Map No. 36241 was approved and recorded, whereby the Specific Plan area was subdivided into seven legal parcels. Street and landscape dedications were included with Parcel Map No. 36241 which reduced the Specific Plan area from 10.79 to 10.27 acres. A summary of the subdivision is presented as Table I: Jefferson Square Specific Plan Parcel Areas and Land Use. In 2020, the Planning Commission approved SDP 2020-0002, which allowed the development of a drive -through coffee use (Dutch Bros Coffee Shop) on the pad formerly identified as Pad A. The drive -through coffee use has since been constructed and is operational as of 2023. As of August 2023, the formerly identified Major and Shops I pads remain vacant and undeveloped. Figures 6, 7, and 8 provide historical aerials of the Specific Plan area that illustrate the site in 2005, 2011, and 2021. Figure 9 depicts the Specific Plan area conditions as of 2022.

PROJECT OVERVIEW Since the approval of Amendment No. 2 in 2008, the retail industry has shifted considerably. Following the Great Recession of 2008, many once powerful retailers have filed for bankruptcy, including Fresh & Easy and Osh Hardware, two retailers that were slated to occupy the Specific Plan area. With the evolution of technology over the past 10 years, consumers have transitioned to online shopping and spend less time in brick -and -mortar stores. The Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 further exacerbated this trend and has led to a substantial increase in retail vacancy throughout Southern California. Meanwhile, housing shortages continue to grow. In 2012, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted the 5th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the planning period of October 2013 to October 2021 and in 2021, the agency adopted the 6`h Cycle RHNA for the planning period of October 2021 to October 2029. La Quinta RHNA allocations for the respective planning periods are 364 dwelling units and 1,530 dwelling units, or an anticipated housing demand increase of 320%. While Amendment No. 2 limited the Specific Plan area to commercial uses, Amendment No. 3 allows the Specific Plan area to be developed as a horizontally mixed -use project. Horizontal Mixed -Use is envisioned in the Specific Plan area as retail uses located in PA I and higher density residential in PA2. The catalyst for this change is the Mixed -Use Overlay District Regulations, which apply to all commercially zoned properties in the City. H. PROJECT ENTITLEMENTS Approval/certification of the following actions will be required to implement the Project: Specific Plan Amendment No. 3: This document includes the land use and development standards, design guidelines, infrastructure needs and implementation strategies to fully implement the allowed uses of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan requires separate public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. The Specific Plan shall be approved by City Council and adopted by resolution. Mitigated Negative Declaration: Pursuant to State and local CEQA guidelines, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared for Amendment No. 3 and determined that development pursuant to Amendment No. 3 could result in environmental impacts. The initial study identified specific mitigation measures that would mitigate any potential impacts resulting from implementation of development to a less than significant level. Consequently, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for Amendment No. 3. Site Development Permit: An SDP is required by the City for final approval of a site plan, architectural design, and landscape design. The SDP requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The Community Development Director shall have the authority to approve minor adjustments to the SDP plan, so long as they determine such adjustments are consistent with the Specific Plan. Tentative Tract Map: If required, a Tentative Tract Map shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission, with their recommendation, and ultimately reviewed by the City Council for a final determination. May 2024 16 348 Specific Plan Jefferson Square Final Tract Maps, Grading Plans, Landscape Plans and Building Permits: Recordation of the final tract map(s) and approval of final landscape plans, issuance of grading and building permits, as needed, shall be obtained, for each building, as required by the City. May 2024 17 349 Specific Plan Jefferson Square II. PROJECT SETTING A. LAND USE AND ZONING The Specific Plan area's land use and zoning designations are CG General Commercial and CN Neighborhood Commercial, respectively. The Specific Plan area is also subject to the MU Mixed Use Overlay District. The 2035 General Plan Land Use Element describes CG General Commercial uses as: "The full range of commercial uses can occur within this designation, ranging from supermarkets and drugstores in a neighborhood shopping center, to major national retailers in large buildings. General Commercial uses also include professional offices, service businesses, restaurants, hotels or motels, research and development and warehousing or similar low impact quasi -industrial projects. As established in Policy LU- 7. I, mixed use development is also appropriate in this designation. Mixed use project can include vertical mixed use — where retail/office occurs on the ground floor, with residential units above; horizontal mixed use — where retail/office and higher density residential occur next to each other and are integrated through pedestrian connections and common areas; or mixed use added to existing commercial development — where the residential project abuts or wraps around an existing commercial development." The City Zoning Code states that the purpose and intent of the CN Neighborhood Commercial Zone is: "To provide for the development and regulation of small-scale commercial areas located at the intersections of arterial highways as shown on the General Plan. The CN district is intended to provide for the sale of food, drugs, sundries, and personal services to meet the daily needs of a neighborhood area." Finally, the City Zoning Code states that the purpose and intent of the MU Mixed Use Overlay is: "to facilitate the development of mixed -use projects that include both multifamily residential and commercial components in a cohesively designed and constructed manner. The mixed -use overlay district will contribute to vehicle trip and associated air pollutant reductions by locating residents near services, employment, and transportation hubs, and by providing interconnected multi -purpose paths for alternative modes of transportation." The proposed site plan, design standards, and allowable uses of the Specific Plan are consistent with the City's Land Use, Zoning, and Mixed -Use Overlay District Regulations. A detailed General Plan consistency analysis is provided as Appendix A. B. EXISTING SITE CHARACTERISTICS Existing site characteristics are shown in Figure 9: 2022 Site Conditions. The subject property has been subdivided into seven legal parcels (Parcels I through 7) varying in size from 0.45 acres to 4.09 acres as listed in Table I. Vertical improvements have been developed in PA (Parcels I through 5) and horizontal improvements have been constructed throughout the entire Specific Plan area (PAI and PA2). Constructed site improvements include parking lots, driveways, stormwater retention systems, utility infrastructure, and landscape improvements. PA2 (Parcel 6 and 7) remain vacant with pads ready for vertical improvements. Offsite improvements include a traffic signal at the northeast corner of the Specific Plan area at the intersection of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street, curb, gutter, public sidewalk and landscape improvements along the full lengths of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street, and a deceleration lane on Jefferson Street. The Specific Plan area is also bordered by 6-foot-high masonry walls on the southern and western boundaries. May 2024 18 350 Specific Plan Jefferson Square C. SURROUNDING LAND USE Table 2: Specific Plan and Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Designations lists the Specific Plan area's surrounding land uses and zoning designations. Figure 10: Surrounding Developments illustrates existing uses surrounding the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan area is bordered on the north by Fred Waring Drive, which is a six -lane primary arterial roadway with a 120-foot- wide right-of-way. The Esplanade single-family residential subdivision is located directly across Fred Waring Drive, north of the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan area is bordered on the east by Jefferson Street, a major arterial with a 120-foot-wide right-of-way. Property to the east of Jefferson Street is within the City of Indio's jurisdictional boundaries and has been developed as a retail center. The Heritage Palms Golf Resort is located across Jefferson Street to the southeast. Land use immediately west of the Specific Plan area includes a well site, City park, and a retention basin associated with the developed residential subdivision (Monticello) further to the west. The rear yards of approximately seven single-family residences of the Monticello neighborhood exist along the southern boundary of the site. These homes are separated from the Specific Plan area by an elevated berm and a six -foot -high masonry block wall.

PROJECT MASTER PLANS A. CONCEPTUAL SITE PLANS Amendment No. 3 allows for either (i) a mixed -use development plan or (ii) a commercial retail development plan. Both development scenarios are further described below. It should be noted, the plans described in this Specific Plan are intended as examples of acceptable projects, however a final development plan and any subsequent plan alterations shall be subject to the approval of an SDP. Mixed -Use Development Plan Figure 1 I: Conceptual Site Plan — Mixed Use Development illustrates a mixed -use development plan that could result from the approval of Amendment No. 3. In this plan, PA I would continue to serve as a commercial retail center and PA2 could be developed with up to 95 multifamily units. Multifamily unit types could include apartments, townhomes, condominiums or a combination thereof. Planning Area I — Mixed -Use Development Plan PA I is built out with approximately 39,000 sq. ft. of building area. PA I consists of five commercial buildings referenced as RETAIL I, 2, 3, 4, and 5 throughout the remainder of this document. PA shall continue to serve as a neighborhood commercial center which is currently occupied by CVS Pharmacy, Dutch Bros Coffee and an assortment of other retail and service -oriented shops. The currently developed areas of PA I include 176 parking spaces, which exceeds the required parking for existing uses by 46 spaces. Should additional commercial space be proposed for PAI, it will be required to demonstrate conformance with the parking requirements of this Specific Plan (see Table 5). A summary of the existing PA I building areas and retail uses is provided in Table 3: Retail Land Use Summary — Planning Area 1. May 2024 21 353 Specific Plan 1 PLANNING AREA 2 L, t� r RES 7 i.

However, the maximum FAR of 0.25 will not be exceeded within the Planning Area, or at any individual lot. The maximum commercial square footage allowed in PA I is 56,300 square feet. Planning Area 2 - Mixed -Use Development Plan The City of La Quinta Municipal Code Section 9.140.090 MU Overlay allows a residential unit density of 12 to 24 units per acre. Amendment No. 3 contemplates up to 95 residential units in PA2, which equates to 18.6 units per acre. Figure I I - Conceptual Site Plan — Mixed Use Development illustrates how 95 residential units could be developed within PA2. In this plan, RES I is shown as a three-story slab -on -grade apartment building with 77 one-, two -and three -bedroom flats. RES 2, RES 3, RES 5, and RES 6 buildings are attached townhome buildings offering three-story, three -bedroom units. The RES 4 building is an attached townhome building consisting of two-story and three-story, three - bedroom units. A summary of the mixed -use plan illustrated by Figure I I is provided in Table 4: Multifamily Land Use Summary — Planning Area 2. Primary access to PA2 would be taken from the existing southernmost Jefferson Street driveway. Pedestrian walkways would connect PAI and PA2 to encourage walkability and reduce vehicle miles travelled. PA2 residents would have access to common area recreational facilities such as a pool, spa, gym, recreational room, co -office space, outdoor plaza, tot -lot, community garden and walking trail. A resident park access point is proposed north of RES I to provide pedestrian access to Monticello Park (see Figure 13: Circulation Plan).

PHASING PLAN May 2024 27 359 Specific Plan Jefferson Square PA I was developed in 2008 apart from Parcel 4, which was developed in 2021. PA2 is anticipated to be developed in one phase. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 12 to 18 months. D. CIRCULATION PLAN Circulation within a mixed -use project comprised of multifamily and retail components is crucial for creating a vibrant and interconnected environment. Effective circulation design ensures smooth movement and accessibility for residents, shoppers, and employees, optimizing the functionality and success of the development. This section explores the significance of circulation in the Specific Plan area. Below are some key considerations and strategies implemented to enhance circulation. Considerations for Circulation Design: I. Location and Separation: The multifamily and commercial components shall be separated yet interconnected through a network of walkways and vehicular drives to ensure privacy for residents while allowing easy access to retail amenities. 2. Pedestrian -Friendly Design: An emphasis shall be placed on pedestrian -friendly design principles that incorporate enhanced sidewalks and landscape, well -lit pedestrian paths, and crosswalks to enhance pedestrian safety and encourage walking within the development. 3. Traffic Flow and Parking: Any approved development plan shall account for efficient traffic flow within the project by incorporating well -designed drives and intersections with direct access to parking areas. Adequate parking facilities for both residents and retail customers shall be provided to ensure convenience and minimize congestion. 4. Entry and Exit Points: The Specific Plan area offers four vehicular entry and exit points to facilitate efficient circulation. Additionally, the Specific Plan area offers multiple pedestrian access points along Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive. 5. Designated Loading and Unloading Areas: The Specific Plan area strategically locates designated commercial loading and unloading areas to minimize disruption of traffic flow. Figure 13 illustrates an acceptable circulation plan which is discussed in further detail below. Vehicular Access and Circulation Vehicular access to the Specific Plan area is taken from four primary entry drives (Primary Entry Drives I through 4, Figure 13), (i) two locations along Fred Waring Drive, and (ii) two locations along Jefferson Street. Deceleration lanes are provided at the two drives on Jefferson Street, and Primary Entry Drive 3. Primary Entry Drives I and 4 provide left -in turning lanes into the site. Primary Entry Drives 2 and 3 provide restricted, right in -right out access only. There is a dedicated right turn lane for eastbound traffic using Fred Waring Drive turning south onto Jefferson Street. On Jefferson Street, the left turning lane into the project is approximately 650 feet south of the intersection with Fred Waring Drive. On Fred Waring Drive the left turning lane is approximately 540 feet west of the intersection with Jefferson Street. Fred Warning Drive and Jefferson Street are designated in the General Plan as major arterials and the intersection is signalized. Primary vehicular circulation drives serve as the backbone for vehicular circulation within the Specific Plan area. Primary vehicular circulation drives offer full site circulation throughout the May 2024 28 360 Specific Plan Jefferson Square project and direct access to parking facilities and loading areas. Drive throats are provided at ingress and egress points to allow vehicular stacking and minimize traffic congestion in the parking areas. PA I Vehicular Circulation RETAIL I (CVS Pharmacy) is accessed through a secondary drive that fronts the store's entrance. Convenient parking is located along the full extent of this secondary drive. Access to the RETAIL I drive -through lane is taken from Primary Entry Drive 3. Drive -through access is provided via two 12-foot-wide drive -through lanes located on the west side of RETAIL 1. Each lane provides enough stacking to accommodate up to seven automobiles (— 120 feet), without obstructing the accessway. RETAIL 2, 3 and 5 are accessed through Primary Entry Drives 3 and 4, which lead to convenient parking spaces that front each of the buildings. RETAIL 4 (Dutch Bros Coffee) is accessed from Primary Entry Drive 2 which leads to parking spaces that directly front the store's entrance and a double -stacked drive -through lane. Primary Entry Drive 4 serves as the primary truck access for RETAIL 3 and 5 and Primary Entry Drive 3 serves as the primary truck access for RETAIL I. An elevated loading dock is provided for RETIAL 3, and a service aisle is provided along the rear of the RETAIL I for loading purposes. Any future additions or expansions to PA I shall incorporate the Considerations for Circulation Design listed above. Additions or expansions shall ensure accessible path of travel, loading zones (as needed), and convenient parking. Additions or expansions shall ensure efficient traffic flow within the project by integrating into the existing circulation drives and intersections. There should be a direct vehicular and pedestrian path from at least one Primary Entry Drive. PA2 Vehicular Circulation Primary Entry Drive I shall serve as the primary entrance for multifamily residents and their guests. Residents shall proceed to their designated parking space(s) via the primary vehicle circulation drives. RES I residents shall park in designated spaces located along the outer perimeter of the building. RES 2 through RES 6 residents shall park in private direct access garages. Residential guests shall park in the designated residential guest parking area located east of RES 3 fronting Jefferson Street. Pedestrian Access and Circulation Pedestrian sidewalks and on -street bicycle lanes are provided along both the Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street frontages which serve as the pedestrian entryways for the Specific Plan area. A functional network of internal sidewalks and walkways shall be provided within the Specific Plan area. Figure 13 illustrates an example of an acceptable Pedestrian Access and Circulation Plan. The pedestrian path of travel within the Specific Plan area shall begin at each of the primary entry drives. From the primary entry drives, a network of onsite sidewalks and striped pathways shall lead pedestrians to onsite buildings. A pedestrian connection point to Monticello City Park is proposed in addition to the one currently in existence.

GRADING PLAN The Specific Plan area was constructed in accordance with the Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan referenced in Amendment No. 2. A copy of this plan is provided as Figure 14. Precise grading for the overall site resulted in the development of seven building pads, an above and underground retention system, and associated parking areas designed to convey surface drainage flows to appropriate catch basins on site. Minor grading and drainage adjustments would be necessary to develop PA2 as a multifamily project. Figure 15 PA2 Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan serves as an example of an acceptable Grading and Drainage Plan. Final grading would match finished elevations of the surrounding retail parcels and would not result in significant slopes. Precise grading plans are subject to review and approval by the City according to standard engineering protocols. F. DRAINAGE PLAN The existing Specific Plan area drainage consists of direct surface runoff into several catch basins located throughout the site (see Figure 14, Amendment No. 2 Conceptual Grading & Drainage Plan). Stormwater is conveyed from individual catch basins into an underground storm drain system, and ultimately to an underground retention system located near the center of the site and two above -ground retention basins located on the west and south sides of the site. All storm water is retained on site. A multifamily development in PA2 shall be consistent with the previously approved hydrology report prepared for the Specific Plan. Tributary areas to each watershed shall be designed in such a way that substantially matches the existing condition. The characteristics and increased pervious area of a multifamily development plan would offset the effects of the reduced time of concentration and the ultimate result is discharge values close to or below existing conditions. Any proposed multifamily development in PA2 shall conform with current City of La Quinta drainage design requirements and to the previously approved hydrology report for the Jefferson Square retail center and shall provide adequate protection for the proposed on -site improvements and structures without introducing adverse effects on the neighboring developments. The project's construction contractor, in consultation with the City, shall be responsible for filing all required notices with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), preparing the Strom Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and implementing required Best Management Practices (BMPs) for future projects. G. SEWER PLAN Sewer service to the project is provided by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) via an existing 10-inch sewer line within the right of way of Jefferson Street along the site's eastern property line. As shown in Figure 16, Existing Sewer and Water Plan, the Specific Plan area is serviced by two 8-inch private sewer mains. One 8-inch main runs from Jefferson Street to the front side of the RES I pad along Primary Entry Drive I. This line shall provide sewer service for any PA2 multifamily development as illustrated in Figure 17, PA2 Conceptual Multifamily Sewer and Water Plan. A second 8-inch sewer main is constructed on the northeast side of the Specific Plan area.

Architectural appendages, such as a tower, can extend up to 48 feet. (2) 150 ft. measurement shall be from the street right-of-way. (3) Not including up to 10% of the building mass, which may extend up to 36 feet. (4) Common open area equals percent of net project area. Common open area shall consist of passive landscaped and active recreation area, and excludes parking lot landscaping. Rights -of -way, parking areas, private patios, private yards and slopes steeper than twenty percent (20%) shall not count toward the common open area requirement. "Net project area" means all of the land area included within a development project excepting those areas which are designated as primary vehicular circulation driveways, drive aisles, parking areas, stormwater retention system (above and underground), public parks, and other uses or easements which preclude the use of the land therein as part of the development project. (5) Active Recreation Area equals the percent of common open area suitable for active recreational uses such as: swimming pool, spa and related facilities; clubhouse; tot /at with play equipment, court game facilities such as tennis, basketball or racquetball, improved softball or other playfields, or similar facilities for active recreational use. (6) Lot coverage means the cumulative ground floor area of the structures on a /at expressed as a percentage of the net lot area. For purposes of this definition, "ground floor area" means all enclosed area within the ground floor of a structure, including exterior walls and mechanical spaces. Carports, garages, accessory buildings and parking structures are included in ground floor area but swimming pools and unenclosed post -supported roofs over patios and walkways are not included and "net lot area' means the horizontal land area within a lot expressed in square feet, acres, or other area measurement. (7) Number given is minimum building setback depth from the street right-of-way. In addition to the required landscape setback, the building setback may contain parking driveways, and similar facilities. (8) The number given is the minimum landscaped depth from the street right-of-way. The remaining building setback may contain parking, driveways, and similar facilities. Section 9.90.040 of the La Quinta Municipal Code requires that buildings within 150 feet of any general plan image corridor and major or primary arterials not exceed 22 feet in height. Table 7 revises this standard to 28 feet within 150 feet of an image corridor to allow for architectural features and enhancements. RES 4 and RES 6 are the only buildings located within 150 feet ofJefferson Street and proposes 2-story townhomes. The primary building structure height is 22 feet, however, the decorative roof/cap extends an additional six feet for a total height of 28 feet. The decorative roof is an architectural feature that adds to the aesthetic value of the project. May 2024 42 374 Specific Plan Jefferson Square V. DESIGN GUIDELINES Design Guidelines have been developed as a method of achieving a high quality and cohesive design character for the development of the Specific Plan area. They provide specific design criteria for the development of the project, as well as encourage creativity, imagination, and harmony consistent with the surrounding community. Adherence to the Design Guidelines will create a desirable asset to the community and enhance the project's overall value. These guidelines will govern the design quality of the project in the following ways: • To provide the City with the necessary assurance that the Specific Plan area is developed in accordance with the quality and character proposed; • To provide guidance to developers, builders, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other professionals in order to maintain the desired design quality; • To provide guidance to City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council in the review of construction plans for the Specific Plan area. A. RETAIL ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES (PAI AND PA2) Retail architectural design shall strive to achieve a Mediterranean style architecture. In utilizing elements from this vernacular, the retail buildings should achieve a massing and scale that is comforting and pleasing. Textured plaster, deep canopies, and trellises allow for contrast and shade, while simplified cornice detailing and the use of color unifies the different building elements within the complex. Figures 18, 19, 20, and 21 illustrate the typical building elevations and use of the vernacular to unify and provide a sense of scale for the in -line tenants. The figures also illustrate the use of the vernacular for a typical outlying pad building and how the architectural style is continuous around the exterior of the pad building. The elevations used for the Specific Plan provide a basis for acceptable design and materials for the various buildings in PA and PA2 and do not deem to illustrate specific examples of building design or building occupants. Through the use of extensive canopies, trellises, landscaping, sidewalks, and patios, the Specific Plan area achieves a campus like environment, suitable for pedestrian movement between the various uses throughout the project area. Mass & Scale • Varied proportions are encouraged. Elements in facades should be spaced at regular intervals to create a visual rhythm. Plaster pop -outs on the building sides, where not beneath an arcade, shall be T-5' in depth, or to the satisfaction of the Planning Director. • Each building will incorporate a continuity of mass, scale, architectural features, and similar detailing. • The facade of in -line retail stores shall be off -set to help break up building mass and give the appearance of multiple buildings. • Accent features such as medallions, awnings, and color banding should be utilized/encouraged for continuity of scale between the elements/buildings. Roof Treatments • Appropriate use of flat, hip, shed, and pitched gable roof forms are encouraged. • Flat roofs may be used with a parapet alone, or in combination with other roof forms. May 2024 43 375 Specific Plan Jefferson Square • The use of variable ridge lines on a single structure is encouraged. • Roof pitch may vary between buildings in the complex. • Mechanical equipment may be placed only on flat portions of roofs provided that they are screened from public view and that the screening is incorporated into building design. • Roof pitch on any one structure should be consistent within the limitations of the material being used. Architectural Features and Details • All mechanical equipment including fuse boxes, heating and cooling devices, and satellite dishes shall be screened from public view. The building parapet heights shall be adjusted so that roof elements are screened from view. • The use of curtain walls is not allowed. • Separate screening walls shall only be used as an exception and shall be designed to utilize building materials and colors. • Exterior walls should emphasize shadow relief using recesses, medallions, covered walkways, trellises, and landscaping where appropriate. • Building entryways should be visually emphasized and try to keep sense of pedestrian scale. • Shaded walkways are encouraged in areas with high levels of pedestrian traffic. • Conversion of first floor windows to exterior tenant entries is allowed subject to Staff approval of architectural details. • Accent at corners of pad buildings by using small tower features is encouraged. Walls and Fences • Walls are encouraged to use materials and colors which match or compliment associated/adjacent buildings and context. • Walls that create long, unbroken straight lines should be avoided, when possible, by varying the parapets or with use of color and accents. Materials & Colors • The facade plays an integral role in building appearance and should use a continuous palette of similar materials and colors. • Restraint should be exercised in the number of materials and colors selected for a given structure. • Acceptable construction materials are steel, wood, stucco, concrete, plaster, ceramic tile, natural stone, aluminum, and glass. • Architectural details should be painted to match the facade. • The following identifies the general colors and materials which will serve as a working palette to provide a basis of establishing architectural cohesiveness for the project (changes may occur at time of Architectural review). • It should be noted that the below mentioned colors are suggestions, and deviations are permitted with City approval. • Trellis structures shall be color finished metal tube structures or canvas awnings. • Paint Colors: (Manufacturer: Dunn Edwards Paint Company, Sherwin Williams, or equal) May 2024 44 376 Specific Plan Jefferson Square Main Building Colors: These colors would be used on large wall surfaces but could also be used as accents.

RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES (PA2) The residential architectural guidelines provided in this section focus on multifamily design. Retail construction in PA2 would adhere to the architectural guidelines described in Section V. A. Retail Architecture Guidelines. Multifamily design shall strive to achieve a contemporary Mediterranean architecture, as opposed to the more traditional architecture sought in PA I. PA2 architecture shall utilize elements from the existing retail vernacular, but at a more residential scale. Multifamily developments shall achieve a massing and scale that is both comforting and pleasing. Textured plaster, deep balconies, and trellises allow for contrast and shade, while simplified cornice detailing and the use of color unify the different building elements within the complex. Figures 22, 23, 24 and 25 illustrate examples of acceptable building elevations and use of the vernacular to unify and provide a sense of scale. The figures also illustrate the use of the vernacular for a typical outlying townhome building and how the architectural style is continuous with the other multifamily buildings. The elevations shown in this section provide a basis for acceptable design and materials for the various buildings in PA2 and do not illustrate specific examples of building design. Mass & Scale • Mediterranean architecture emphasizes harmony and balance in its design. Each building shall maintain proportional relationships between various elements, such as windows, doors, arches, and columns, to achieve a pleasing visual balance. • Utilize courtyards, arcades, and patios to break up the overall mass and create a sense of openness and connection with the outdoors. • Varied proportions are encouraged. Elements in facades should be spaced at regular intervals to create a visual rhythm. • Each building will incorporate a continuity of mass, scale, and architectural features and similar detailing. • Accent features such as awnings and color banding should be encouraged for continuity of scale between the elements/buildings. Roof Treatments • Roofs play a crucial role in Mediterranean architecture. Use of flat, hip, shed, and pitched roofs are encouraged. • Exposed roof materials shall consist of clay tiles or shingles that blend harmoniously with architectural elements, materials, and colors. • Flat roofs may be used with a parapet alone, or in combination with other roof forms. • The use of variable ridge lines on a single structure is encouraged. • Roof pitch may vary between buildings. • Mechanical equipment may be placed only on flat portions of roofs provided that it is screened from public view and that the screening is incorporated into building design. • Roof pitch on any one structure should be consistent within the limitations of the material being used. Architectural Features and Details May 2024 51 383 Specific Plan Jefferson Square • Mediterranean architecture often features an abundance of windows and openings to facilitate natural ventilation and light. • All mechanical equipment including fuse boxes, heating and cooling equipment, and satellite dishes shall be screened from public view. The building parapet heights shall be adjusted so that roof elements are screened from view. • The use of curtain walls is not allowed. • Separate screening walls shall only be used as an exception and shall be designed to utilize building materials and colors. • Exterior walls should emphasize shadow relief using recesses, covered walkways, trellises, and landscaping where appropriate. • Building entryways should be visually emphasized and keep a sense of pedestrian scale. • Corner accents using tower features are encouraged. Walls and Fences • Walls shall use materials and colors which match or complement associated/adjacent buildings and context. • Walls that create long, unbroken straight lines should be avoided, by varying the parapets or with use of color and accents. Spatial Organization • Organize interior spaces to flow naturally and create a sense of openness and airiness. • Emphasize connections to outdoor areas, like patios and gardens, which are essential features of Mediterranean living. • Through the use of extensive balconies, trellises, landscaping, sidewalks, and patios, PA2 should achieve a campus like environment, suitable for pedestrian movement between the various uses throughout the project area. Materials & Colors • The facade plays an integral role in building appearance and should use a continuous palette of similar materials and colors. • Choose local materials that complement the surrounding environment. Common materials include steel, wood, concrete, plaster, ceramic tile, aluminum, glass, stone, and stucco. • Use textured finishes on walls to add depth and interest to the facade without overwhelming the building's scale. • Restraint should be exercised in the number of materials and colors selected for a given structure. • Architectural details should be painted to match the facade. • Trellis structures shall be color finished metal tube structures or canvas awnings. • The following identifies the general colors and materials which will serve as a working palette to provide a basis of establishing architectural cohesiveness for the project. It should be noted that the below mentioned colors are suggestions, and deviations are permitted with City approval. • Paint Colors: (Manufacturer: Dunn Edwards Paint Company, Sherwin Williams, or equal) May 2024 52 384 Specific Plan Jefferson Square Main Building Colors These colors would be used on large wall surfaces but could also be used as accents.

PPEMi7R+4�C■uL[�I�MI May 2024 60 392 Specific Plan Jefferson Square C. SITE SIGN GUIDELINES A master sign program for the Specific Plan area has been approved under a separate sign permit. The approved sign program provides guidelines necessary to achieve a visually coordinated, balanced, and appealing sign environment, harmonious with the architecture of the Specific Plan area, while maintaining provisions for individual graphic expression. The developer shall secure sign permits for any new buildings from the City's Building and Safety Department by submitting three (3) copies of fully dimensioned scaled drawings as follows: a) A site plan showing the location of the proposed signage on the site. b) An elevation of the building drawn to scale showing sign placement. c) A detailed elevation of the sign drawn to scale and showing all colors, materials, dimensions, and copy. d) Fabrication and installation details, including structural and engineering data, UL electrical specification, and type and intensity of illumination (for electrical signs). e) Any other drawing, details, and information as required by the City. D. SITE LIGHTING GUIDELINES Commercial Lighting Guidelines • Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. • Lighting standards and building fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent areas. • Lighting shall be restrained in design and excessive brightness (night glow) avoided. • Standard design techniques will be employed to shield parking light fixtures from adjacent land uses and control direct glare and spill light emanating from these fixtures. • Parking lot light poles will be equipped with a recessed lamp and a flush lens and shall not exceed a maximum height of 18 feet throughout the site. • The average foot candles (FC) for the project site would be 1.8 FC, with a maximum of 4.9 FC and a minimum of 0.7 FC. Multifamily Lighting Guidelines • Residential Parking Lots: I FC minimum • Pedestrian Egress Walkways: I FC minimum • Pedestrian Walkways: 0.25 FC minimum • Main Entry Roadway: I FC minimum • Internal Roadway Drive Aisles: 0.25 FC minimum E. SITE LANDSCAPE The purpose of this section is to establish standards that would contribute to the thematic project image and identity of the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan landscape design standards establish levels of hierarchy that would provide a varied and high -quality experience at the pedestrian and vehicular level within the project. Existing Specific Plan area landscape improvements include groundcover, shrubs, and trees along the full site perimeter, street frontages, parking lots, and drive aisles. These improvements reflect May 2024 61 393 Specific Plan Jefferson Square those specified in Amendment No. 2, Section III C. Landscape Plan. A copy of the Amendment No. 2 Preliminary Landscape Plan is provided as Figure 26. Existing landscape design utilizes ornamental material to provide a temperate environment. Parking lot areas are shaded with a combination of Palo Verde and Desert Museum Palo Verde trees. Palm trees are used to provide vertical scale and aesthetic contrasts. Tipu Trees, Acacia, and Chitalpa trees are used to help screen views from adjacent residential areas. Figure 27 illustrates an example of an acceptable PA2 landscape plan that would build upon the existing Specific Plan area landscape. A multifamily project in PA2 shall include an entry statement at Primary Entry Drive I. In this conceptual plan, an enhanced paving band and project identity sign act as an entry statement at Primary Entry Drive 1. Furthermore, the drive is shown to be lined with a combination of tree species including palms, Desert Willows, and Palo Verdes. Like those at the Project intersection, Palm trees are shown along the primary vehicular drives to provide vertical scale and aesthetic contrasts. Palo Verde, Acacia, and Sumac are proposed as canopy trees to screen views from the adjacent single-family residential properties. Shrubs could include Agave, Aloe, Bougainvillea, Bottlebrush, Desert Cassia, Barrel Cactus, Brittlebush, Ocotillo, Red Yucca, Angelita Daisy and Sunset Lantana. Ground covers or gravel mulch may fill in between the shrubs to protect the soil from the sun, evapotranspiration, and run-off. Figure 27: Conceptual Landscape Plan — Multifamily illustrates a 165-foot-long landscaped hedge, measuring 12 feet in height placed south of buildings 5 and 6 along the southern property line to provide additional privacy screening from the adjacent single-family residential homes. Such a hedge would be necessary for any residential building 2 stories or higher located within 75 feet of the southern property line. The plant materials listed below are approved for use within the specific plan area. Any plant material proposed onsite that is not listed below would require approval by the City of La Quinta Director of Design and Development or designee. The approved plant materials have been chosen for their adaptability to the desert climate, their relationship to the existing surrounding developments, and their intended use and function with the project. A list of the approved species is provided below. Those in bold print represent plant species added with Amendment No. 3. Trees (Common Name) • Chitalpa • Mexican Blue Palm • Palo Verde — Cercidium Flordium • Palo Verde — Parkinsonia Aculeata • Tipu Tree • Willow Acacia • African Sumac • Desert Museum • Pindo Palm • Medjool Date Palm • Olive Tree • Mexican Fan Palm • Texas Mountain Laurel • Southern Magnolia May 2024 62 394 Specific Plan Jefferson Square • Silk Tree Shrubs (Common Name) • Red Hot Poker • Bougainvillea • Red Bird of Paradise • Desert Cassia • Brittlebush • Ocotillo • Red Yucca • Creosote Bush • Texas Ranger • Regal Mist • Autumn Glow • Deer Grass • Baja Ruellia • Mojo Pittosporum • Icee Blue Yellow -Wood • Little 011ie Dwarf Olive • Foxtail Agave • Aloe • Little John Bottlebrush • Golden Barrel Cactus • Red Yucca • Spanish Dagger • Mexican Fence Post Cactus Groundcovers • Spreading Sunset • Confetti • Purple Lantana • New Gold Lantana • Angelita Daisy • Verbena • Spreading Sunset Lantana • Creosote Bush • Lockwood De Forest Rosemary Design Guidelines The guidelines presented herein are not intended to discourage creative design or individuality. Rather, they are intended to assist in providing the continuity and desired image which will make the Specific Plan area a unique and special mixed -use project. May 2024 63 395 Specific Plan Jefferson Square • Ground covers or gravel mulch should be used to enhance the appearance of the Specific Plan area and protect soil from erosion. Acceptable ground cover includes gravel, rocks or living plant materials. Tree bark and shredded wood products, which are lightweight and subject to wind and water erosion, are prohibited in unprotected areas. • Water efficient landscape materials, including native plants, with drip irrigation should be used wherever possible as a means of conserving water resources and minimizing maintenance costs. • Landscaping should be designed to screen above ground utility equipment, service areas and trash containers. Homogenous, visually subtle plant materials should be selected for use in these areas in order not to focus attention on the objectionable items. Entryways • Areas which serve as a focus of vehicular traffic, such as project entries, should be accented using colorful shrubs and groundcovers for enhanced visual interest. These shrubs and ground covers may include Aloe, Angelita Daisy, Bougainvillea, Golden Barrel Cactus, Purple and gold Lantana, Verbena, and Yucca. • Project entries should utilize vertical accents such as palm trees to provide a sense of arrival to the facility with matched or varying heights. • Plant materials at project entries should be located to avoid interfering with motorist sight lines. Plant combinations shall leave an area 30 inches above grade open to allow for unobstructed views of approaching vehicles and pedestrians. Buildings • Plant materials should be used to soften long stretches of blank wall surface. • Landscape materials shall be selected with colors and textures which enhance architectural elements. Streetscapes • Streetscapes should incorporate informal masses of trees and shrubs. • Streetscapes fronting the project should maintain a plant palette and design concept which is compatible with surrounding finished street frontages. Parking Lots • Plant material should consist of Lantana groundcover, Palo Verde and Desert Museum trees, and Desert Cassia, Texas Ranger, Muhlenbergia, and Red Yucca shrubs which would allow sight line over shrubs yet provide islands that are green. • The design of parking lots should include provisions for canopy trees to provide shade for parked vehicles. • Parking areas should be screened from adjacent roadways using low walls, landscaping, or berms.

LOCATION: CITY-WIDE RECOMMENDATION A. Make a finding, included in Ordinance No. , that adopting this ordinance is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) Review of Exemptions — Common Sense Rule and is consistent with the previously approved General Plan 2035 Environmental Impact Report. B. Move to take up Ordinance No. by title and number only and waive further reading. C. Move to introduce at first reading, Ordinance No. to amend various sections of Titles 9 and 13 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Planning Staff periodically reviews the municipal zoning code and proposes amendments to update or clarify these items. • The proposed text amendments include updating language to meet State housing law regulations for ADUs. They also include changes regarding residential garage setbacks, temporary use permit timing and expirations, village parking allowances, vinyl fencing, bed and breakfast inns, tentative map public hearing notices, and residential special events. • On October 8, 2024, the Planning Commission (Commission) considered the proposed amendments and recommended Council approval. 477 FISCAL IMPACT — None. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Council has periodically adopted zoning text amendments to clean up, update, and clarify standards. The Code amendments are included as text amendment redlines as Exhibit A of the Ordinance. A matrix of proposed amendments (Attachment 1) summarizes each amendment and lists the code section where the amendments are found. The proposed amendments are explained below: 1. Accessory Dwelling Units. Update regulations to be consistent with State housing law: a. The proposed modification will allow the separate conveyance of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) from a Primary Dwelling, under certain circumstances, to a qualified buyer, as defined, in an effort to expand affordable housing options. With this modification, properties built or developed by an affordable housing nonprofit organization will be able to sell an ADU separate from the main residence to a qualified low or moderate income household. b. References to the current State code sections have been updated. 2. Garage setback from front yard. A 25-foot setback requirement for garages was modified to 20 feet during the 2023 Zoning Code Update. This revision will make the residential garage and carport Section 9.60.060 consistent with the Development Standards Table in Section 9.50.030. 3. Temporary Use Permit. Maximum duration of a temporary use for 18 months from the approval date, and the applicant can request additional extensions; however, the total of all granted extensions shall not exceed 12 months. 4. Village Parking. The proposed update to the Village Build Out Area parking section will better clarify the 50% parking reduction currently allowed and continue to provide flexibility for future development applications in the Village area. 5. Vinyl Fencing. In response to both the improvement in the quality of vinyl fencing products and the number of residents inquiring about installing vinyl fencing, this Code update will allow vinyl fencing in the front yard setback area on a case -by - case basis, approved by the Design and Development Director. 6. Bed and Breakfast Inns. With the creation of Homeshare Short Term Vacation Rentals (STVR) in Chapter 3.25, Short Term Vacation Rentals, there are similar redundant processes with minor differences within the LQMC. As Homeshare STVRs are now allowed with a permit, there has been no interest in applying for Bed and Breakfast Inns. The Code amendment stops processing future Bed and 478 Breakfast Inns because Homeshare STVRs are essentially the same and will be regulated under the STVR enforcement standards. Any existing permitted Bed and Breakfast Inns will be permitted to continue operation. 7. Hearing Notices for Tentative Maps. Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the LQMC, requires publication of a 20-day Hearing Notice when a tentative map is processed that requires a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) public notice. This requirement is no longer needed as staff processes CEQA documents for public review during the application review process in advance of scheduled public hearings. A 10-day Hearing Notice requirement will be consistent with other notices currently prescribed in the Zoning Code and State Government Code. 8. Special Event Permits within Residential Districts. a. Eliminate special event tiers under La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) Section 9.60.170 (Tier 1: 1-3 events, Tier 2: 4-11 events, and Tier 3: 12+ events) and process applications individually so that each event is considered on its own merits to be approved by the Design and Development Director. b. Findings must be made that a parking plan demonstrates sufficient parking is available for the anticipated attendance and that the potential impacts on the surrounding residential streets will be minimized to the satisfaction of the Design and Development Director. This would allow staff to evaluate the parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and impose conditions if necessary, such as a combination of off-street/on-street parking and/or shuttle service or any other off -site parking accommodations. c. Eliminate subsection A(3) of LQMC section 9.60.170 requiring a special event approval for STVR properties exceeding the total daytime number of occupants allowed pursuant to LQMC section 3.25.070. Instead, the criteria as provided in subsection A(2) shall determine if a special event at a STVR property is triggered: Events at privately owned dwellings involving two or more of the following characteristics: • Outdoor amplified music A stage or staging • Event lighting Tents • Additional parking accommodations • Traffic restrictions • Other characteristics consistent with larger gatherings that are not consistent with occasional residential parties or small events. At the Planning Commission study session discussion, there was consideration to amend the Code to prohibit special events at STVR 479 properties, with exceptions. There was discussion but no consensus of the Planning Commission to prohibit special events at STVR properties, with exceptions. d. Establish administrative citations for violations of special event regulations, including violations of conditions of approval or any other provisions of the LQMC, would be a similar citation structure as provided in the STVR regulations under LQMC Chapter 3.25, as follows: First violation: $1,000.00 Second violation: $2,000.00 Third or more violations: $3,000.00 Operating a special event without a valid special event permit: First violation: $1,500.00 Second violation: $3,000.00 Third or more violations: $5,000.00 In addition to the fines set forth above, the first, second, third, or subsequent violation of operating a special event without a valid special event permit shall be cause for an owner to be prohibited for all time from being eligible to be issued a special event permit for use of the property for a special event. Hosting a special event at an STVR unit without a special event permit as required by Section 9.60.170 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time) of this code: First violation: $3,000.00 Second violation: $5,000.00 e. Establish a two -strikes policy. Subject to a violation reprieve request, two (2) violations of the special event regulations, violations of any conditions of approval or other provisions of the LQMC within one (1) year by any applicant, occupant, responsible party, owner(s) or owner's authorized agent or representative, shall result in an immediate suspension of allowing any further special events at the subject property with subsequent ability to have a hearing before the City, to request a lifting of the suspension. PUBLIC REVIEW Public Notice This zoning ordinance amendment was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on November 8, 2024. Planning Commission Review At its regular meeting of October 8, 2024, the Commission recommended approval of all proposed amendments. 480 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Design and Development Department has determined that the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA, Common Sense Exemption, in that it can be seen that the project would not cause any adverse impacts on the environment. ALTERNATIVES Council may elect to: • Approve the zoning ordinance amendments as proposed. • Approve the zoning ordinance amendments with modifications. • Deny the zoning ordinance amendments. • Direct staff to conduct further study on one or more of the zoning ordinance amendment items and return to Council for consideration.
