Dear Ms. Flores:
Subject: Water Supply Assessment/Water Supply Verification Coral Mountain Specific Plan
The subject Water Supply Assessment and Water Supply Verification (WSA/WSV) for the Coral
Mountain Specific Plan (Project) provides an assessment and verification of the availability of
sufficient water supplies during normal, single -dry, and multiple -dry years over a 20-year
projection to meet the projected demands of the Project, in addition to existing and planned future
water demands of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), as required by California Water
Code section 10910.
CVWD staff has reviewed this WSA/WSV and has determined that sufficient water supplies exist,
or will exist based on current water planning assumptions, to meet the projected demands of the
Project, in addition to current and future projected water demands within CVWD's service area in
normal, single -dry, and multiple -dry years over a 20-year projection. This WSA/WSV was
approved by the CVWD Board of Directors in its regular meeting of April 14, 2020. Approval of
the WSA/WSV does not constitute an approval of the Project or relieve the Project from complying
with all applicable existing and future state, county, city, and local ordinances or regulations
including, but not limited to, the City of La Quinta and CVWD landscape ordinances, and indoor
water use performance standards provided in the California Water Code.
This WSA/WSV will be reviewed every five years, or in the event that the water planning
assumptions have changed, until the Project completes construction to ensure it remains accurate
and no significant changes to either the Project or available water supply has occurred. The Project
applicant shall notify CVWD when construction begins. If neither the Project applicant nor the
lead agency contact CVWD within five years of approval of this WSA/WSV, it will be assumed
that the Project no longer exists and the WSA/WSV provided by this document will become
invalid.
Sincerely,
5-6
