SILVERROCK (FORMERLY TALUS) DEVELOPMENT PROJECT – STATUS UPDATE City Attorney Ihrke said on August 5, 2024, SilverRock Development Company LLC and its affiliates (debtors), collectively referred to as “SDC,” voluntarily petitioned for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware; and per Council’s direction and approval, the City retained Special Counsel who has continuously been working with the City Manager and City Attorney throughout these proceedings. A milestone for the case was accomplished with the December 9, 2025, sale of the debtors’ 130+/- acre property, formerly known as the Talus project, to Turnbridge Equities (TBE) pursuant to the bankruptcy court’s order authorizing the sale (“Sale Order”). Prior Announcements regarding the bankruptcy case are available on the City’s website at www.laquintaca.gov/talus. City Attorney Ihrke said the bankruptcy case for the debtors is ongoing. As previously announced, the bankruptcy court granted the debtors motion for an Order Authorizing a Mediation to try and reach an agreement among the key secured creditors as to the allocation and distribution of the net proceeds available from the sale of the debtors’ property. The mediation had been ongoing for several weeks, but late last week, the mediators officially notified the debtors and all parties that there was an impasse, and as such, the mediation was over without a resolution as to the allocation and distribution of the sale proceeds to the key secured creditors. This means that the bankruptcy case will resume, and the bankruptcy judge will now address the matter of resolving the allocation and distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the debtors’ property to the key secured creditors. This also means that the appeal in the U.S. District Court in Delaware will resume; and as previously announced, one creditor, Construction Loan Services II, LLC. d/b/a Builders Capital (Builders), filed an appeal of the bankruptcy court’s Sale Order, in accordance with federal bankruptcy procedure, which was pending in the Delaware District Court. Mr. Ihrke explained that in response to Builders’ appeal, the City, TBE, and debtors filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss Builders’ appeal based on relevant federal bankruptcy statutes and case law. Per stipulated agreement of the parties, the briefing for Builders’ appeal and the Joint Motion to Dismiss were stayed, or temporary “postponed,” sot that the parties could focus on the mediation. Now that the impasse of the mediation has been declared, the briefing on the appeal and Motion to Dismiss will resume. Mr. Ihrke said it was important to note that because both, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Delaware District Court, denied a prior motion brought by Builders to stay the Sale Order of the debtors’ property, the new TBE project, as approved by Council will still move forward in the ordinary course, with applications and review of land use entitlements to be processed according to the operative Development Agreement, also approved by Council in 2025, and other applicable state and city laws. 17 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 of 10 MARCH 17, 2026 The City Manager, Special Counsel, and our office will keep the Council informed as to progress and the status of the case. 2. >>> Taken out of agenda order, considered after Business Session Item No. 2 below IRONMAN 70.3 LA QUINTA TRIATHLON – DECEMBER 7, 2025, EVENT SUMMARY AND ECONOMIC REPORT BY EVENT OPERATIONS MANAGER MAX LITTLE 3.

ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 57600 CORAL MOUNTAIN COURT AS A QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED LARGE LOT PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.25.057 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE [RESOLUTION NO. 2026-005] Deputy City Clerk Rodriguez presented the staff report, which is on file in the Clerk’s Office. MAYOR EVANS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 5:59 P.M. APPLICANT: Kevin Murray, property owner – said the property was built for family use; the anticipated STVR use is for private individuals or families, not groups; there is no intent to rent it for special events, such as large weddings, etc., and noted he landscaped the vacant lot he owns, immediately next to the subject property, to mitigate the dust blowing from it during wind storms onto the adjacent Palo Verde residential community. Mayor Pro Tem Fitzpatrick and Councilmember McGarrey discussed concerns about (1) the closeness of the subject property to the adjacent Palo Verde residential development to the east, and (2) allowing STVR use for a property surrounded by communities that do not permit such use. Council discussed the success of the STVR program in La Quinta the last few years, including minimal complaints and proactive enforcement; effective communications with the community regarding the resources available to report complaints and view information on permitted STVRs via the public portal website; the “quiet enjoyment” of any property is not automatically adversely affected due to a nearby property being permitted for STVR use because of the requirements and processes put in place to ensure compliance with the STVR program; generally, weddings and other similar type events would require a Special Event Permit from the City; and the permanent ban on the issuance of new STVR permits citywide is still in effect, thus, even though any residential development may adopt Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to allow STVR use within its boundaries, no new STVR permits can be issued as long as the ban remains in effect. MAYOR EVANS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 6:12 P.M. City Clerk Radeva said WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS were received from the residents listed below, in alphabetical order, residing in the Palo Verde residential development bordering the subject property to the east, which were distributed to Council, made public, published on the City’s website, and included in the public record of this meeting:  John Jankovich – opposed  Peggy Pape – opposed 22 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9 of 10 MARCH 17, 2026 Council discussed property rights; applying Council-adopted criteria consistently; and public hearing notice requirements and clarity to the public of consequences of this type of approvals.

Respectfully submitted, MONIKA RADEVA, City Clerk City of La Quinta, California 24 City of La Quinta CITY COUNCIL MEETING: April 7, 2026 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 631 ON SECOND READING AMENDING SECTIONS 3.25.020, 3.25.030, AND 3.25.070 OF CHAPTER 3.25 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS RECOMMENDATION Adopt Ordinance No. 631 on second reading amending Sections 3.25.020, 3.25.030, and 3.25.070 of Chapter 3.25 of the La Quinta Municipal Code related to Short-Term Vacation Rentals. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff periodically reviews Chapter 3.25 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) related to the City’s Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) program, and proposes amendments to update or clarify requirements and regulations as needed. A recent trial court decision, reversing an administrative hearing officer’s decision, decided that the definition of “short-term vacation rental unit” could be interpreted to mean an owner without an STVR permit could nonetheless allow persons to rent and occupy a residence for 30 days or less if there was evidence of a lease agreement for longer than 30 days. While the City has prevailed numerous times in the past in administrative hearings and trial court appeals that have raised this argument, staff and the City Attorney’s Office recommend clarifying amendments to a few definitions, as well as the legislative intent, to address the recent trial court decision. On March 17, 2026, Council introduced Ordinance No. 631 for first reading to amend Sections 3.25.020, 3.25.030, and 3.25.070 of the LQMC related to STVRs. If adopted on second reading, Ordinance No. 631 will go into effect 30 days after adoption, or on May 7, 2026. FISCAL IMPACT – None. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Staff periodically reviews Chapter 3.25 of the LQMC related to the STVR program, and proposes amendments to update or clarify requirements and regulations as needed. As part of the last revisions in December 2024 (Ordinance No. 619), the Council amended Chapter 3.25 to add the definition of “subtenant” to explicitly state that any rental activity of a privately owned dwelling, regardless of whether it was directly rented or sub-rented by the occupant(s), CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3 25 for 30-days or less constitutes an STVR rental and is subject to the STVR program requirements and regulations. The City’s Code Enforcement Office, in conjunction with the City’s Lead Code Enforcement Attorney, are periodically called to investigate alleged code violations and, after conducting investigations and obtaining evidence, periodically issue citations for violations of the City’s STVR Regulations in Chapter 3.25. Over the years, a few residential owners have argued that a written lease for more than 30 days should be conclusive evidence that the residence is not an STVR and thus not subject to Chapter 3.25. Repeatedly in response to such arguments, the City has countered that the actual use of a residence is determinative of whether it is an STVR subject to regulations and compliance under Chapter 3.25. The City routinely prevailed on this argument because, among other reasons, proper statutory interpretation of Chapter 3.25 required viewing the ordinance as a whole in light of the overall legislative intent, not just one definition in LQMC Section 3.25.030. However, a recent trial court decision, which was brought as an appeal of an administrative hearing officer’s decision favorable to the City, focused solely on the definition of “short-term vacation rental unit” as possibly being interpreted to allow a person to rent a residence without an STVR permit, even if there is evidence of multiple persons occupying the residence sporadically for less than 30 days, as long as there is a written lease with an occupant for more than 30 days. Staff and the City Attorney’s Office recommend amending the definition of “short-term vacation rental unit” to address the cited ambiguity that led to the trial court’s decision. The proposed amendment “parses out” the elements of the current definition to clarify that an STVR unit is any privately owned residential dwelling rented for transient use and occupied by any person(s) for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less. A proposed conforming amendment to the definition of “subtenant” is included, as well as proposed amendments that list common “secondary effects” to which the regulations in Chapter 3.25 are intended to limit or prevent (LQMC Section 3.25.020). Some minor amendments are also proposed to Section 3.25.070 – Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions and are intended to consolidate provisions, remove unnecessary detail, and clarify terms. On March 17, 2026, Council introduced Ordinance No. 631 for first reading to amend Sections 3.25.020, 3.25.030, and 3.25.070 of the LQMC related to STVRs as listed above. If adopted on second reading, Ordinance No. 631 will go into effect 30 days after adoption, or on May 7, 2026. ALTERNATIVES Council may elect not to introduce the proposed ordinance; approve only some of the amendments and/or additions; or instruct staff to make additional/different amendments.

A. The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations for the use of privately owned residential dwellings as short-term vacation rentals that ensure the collection and payment of transient occupancy taxes (TOT) as provided in Chapter 3.24 of this code, and minimize the negative secondary effects of such use on surrounding residential neighborhoods. Among other secondary effects to be limited, this chapter is intended to: 1. Prevent the circumvention by any owner of a dwelling (or any real property) in the city from operating a short-term vacation rental (STVR), without properly obtaining a permit and license required by this chapter, by claiming to have a rental arrangement longer than thirty (30) days but nonetheless collecting rent from a tenant or subtenant who occupies a residence for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less; 2. Require sufficient parking so that neighboring dwellings and other property uses are not unduly adversely impacted by the use of a residential dwelling on a short-term basis as a short-term vacation rental; 3. Impose strict obligations on occupants of short-term vacation rental units to limit excessive outside or ambient noise that would unduly interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring dwellings or other property owners; 4. Prevent conversion of rooms, without required permitting or licensing as set forth in this chapter and this code, from a non-bedroom use to bedroom use for the purpose of increasing the maximum allowed number of occupants using a short-term vacation rental unit; 5. Maintain the residential character of the city’s residential zones and neighborhoods by avoiding transitory uses which are not properly permitted pursuant to this chapter; and 6. Prohibit any property from being used as a short-term vacation rental unless such use is allowed within an area of the city and properly permitted pursuant to this chapter. B. This chapter is not intended to provide any owner of residential property with the right or privilege to violate any private conditions, covenants and restrictions applicable to the owner's property that may prohibit the use of such owner's residential property for short-term vacation rental purposes as defined in this chapter. C. The requirements of this chapter shall be presumed to apply to any residential dwelling that has received a short-term vacation rental permit. A rebuttable presumption arises that, whenever there is an occupant(s), paying rent or not, of a residential dwelling that has received a short-term vacation rental permit, the requirements of this chapter shall apply, including but not limited to any suspension or other modifications imposed on a short-term vacation rental permit as set forth in this chapter. The city manager or authorized designee shall have the authority to implement any necessary or appropriate policies and procedures to apply the rebuttable presumption set forth in this section.

The Arts and Music Line is a community connector to the CV Link that’s located primarily along Avenue 48 between Highway 86 and Washington Street as depicted in the project map included as Attachment 1. The eastern end will extend along Dillon Road to the Spotlight 29 Casino. The western end will extend southward along Washington Street and then further west and south along Eisenhower Drive, connecting to the Bear Creek Trailhead at the western terminus of Calle Tampico.

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.

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.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 8.6 Legal Action.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that the attorneys’ fees awarded pursuant to this Section shall not exceed the hourly rate paid by City for legal services multiplied by the reasonable number of hours spent by the prevailing party in the conduct of the litigation. Attorneys’ fees shall include attorneys’ fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

Prevailing Wage Compliance. If Contracting Party is a contractor performing public works and maintenance projects, as described in this Section 1.3, Contracting Party shall comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws. Contracting Party is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Sections 16000, et seq., (collectively, the “Prevailing Wage Laws”), and La Quinta Municipal Code Section 3.12.040, which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “Public works” and “Maintenance” projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “Public works” or “Maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if construction work over twenty- five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) and/or alterations, demolition, repair or maintenance work over fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) is entered into or extended on or after January 1, 2015 by this Agreement, Contracting Party agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws including, but not limited to, requirements related to the maintenance of payroll records and the employment of apprentices. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.5, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a “Public works” project unless registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) at the time the contract is awarded. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “Public works” or “Maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, this project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contracting Party will maintain and will require all subcontractors to maintain valid and current DIR Public Works contractor registration during the term of this Agreement. Contracting Party shall notify City in writing immediately, and in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours, after receiving any information that Contracting Party’s or any of its subcontractor’s DIR registration status has been suspended, revoked, expired, or otherwise changed. It is understood that it is the responsibility of Contracting Party to determine the correct salary scale. Contracting Party shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contracting Party’s principal place of business and at the project site, if any. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wage or to comply with State wage and hour laws will be enforced. Contracting Party must forfeit to City TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) per day for each worker who works in excess of the minimum working hours when Contracting Party does not pay overtime. In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1810 et seq., eight (8) hours is the legal working day. Contracting Party also shall comply with State law requirements to maintain payroll records and shall provide for certified records and inspection of records as required by California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., including Section 1776. In addition to the other indemnities provided under this Agreement, Contracting Party shall defend (with counsel selected by City), indemnify, and hold City, Exhibit A Page 7 of 9 79 its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with performance of the Services, including, without limitation, any and all “Public works” (as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws), Contracting Party shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be independently responsible for reviewing the applicable laws and regulations and effectuating compliance with such laws. Contracting Party shall require the same of all subcontractors. 2. Retention. Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.0 of the Agreement. In accordance with said Sections, City shall pay Contracting Party a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum apportionment of the labor and materials incorporated into the Services under this Agreement during the month covered by said invoice. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained as performance security to be paid to Contracting Party within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the Services by the City Council of City, after Contracting Party has furnished City with a full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement, if required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contracting Party from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract Code § 7107) of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. City’s failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contracting Party’s obligations under the Agreement. 3. Utility Relocation. City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk-line utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the invitation for bids or specifications. City shall reimburse Contracting Party for any costs incurred in locating, repairing damage not caused by Contracting Party, and removing or relocating such unidentified utility facilities. Contracting Party shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified utility facilities. 4. Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply: (a) Contracting Party shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contracting Party believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement. Exhibit A Page 8 of 9 80 Exhibit A Page 9 of 9 (b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work shall issue a change order per Section 1.8 of the Agreement. (c) in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contracting Party whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contracting Party shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contracting Party shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting Parties. 5. Safety. Contracting Party shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out the Services, Contracting Party shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and procedures; (B) instructions in accident prevention for all employees and subcontractors, such as safe walkways, scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks, confined space procedures, trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices, equipment and wearing apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to prevent accidents or injuries; and (C) adequate facilities for the proper inspection and maintenance of all safety measures. 6. Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of the Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contracting Party shall be liable for and shall pay to City the sum of One Thousand dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance. In addition, liquidated damages may be assessed for failure to comply with the emergency call out requirements, if any, described in the Scope of Services. City may withhold from any moneys payable on account of the Services performed by Contracting Party any accrued liquidated damages. 81 Exhibit B Page 1 of 2 Exhibit B Schedule of Compensation For the avoidance of doubt, the compensation thresholds on this Exhibit B do not include compensation for Additional Services (if any) authorized pursuant to Section 1.7 and compensated pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

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 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 89 Exhibit E Page 5 of 6 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 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 90 Exhibit E Page 6 of 6 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 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. 91 Exhibit F Page 1 of 2 Exhibit F Indemnification F.1 Indemnity for the Benefit of City. a.

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.

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.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 8.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, at law or at equity, to cure, correct, or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 8.7 Termination Prior To Expiration of Term.

Attorneys’ fees shall include attorneys’ fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

Prevailing Wage Compliance. If Contracting Party is a contractor performing public works and maintenance projects, as described in this Section 1.3, Contracting Party shall comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws. Contracting Party is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Sections 16000, et seq., (collectively, the “Prevailing Wage Laws”), and La Quinta Municipal Code Section 3.12.040, which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “Public works” and “Maintenance” projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “Public works” or “Maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if construction work over twenty- five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) and/or alterations, demolition, repair or maintenance work over fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) is entered into or extended on or after January 1, 2015 by this Agreement, Contracting Party agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws including, but not limited to, requirements related to the maintenance of payroll records and the employment of apprentices. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.5, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a “Public works” project unless registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) at the time the contract is awarded. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “Public works” or “Maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, this project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contracting Party will maintain and will require all subcontractors to maintain valid and current DIR Public Works contractor registration during the term of this Agreement. Contracting Party shall notify City in writing immediately, and in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours, after receiving any information that Contracting Party’s or any of its subcontractor’s DIR registration status has been suspended, revoked, expired, or otherwise changed. It is understood that it is the responsibility of Contracting Party to determine the correct salary scale. Contracting Party shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contracting Party’s principal place of business and at the project site, if any. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wage or to comply with State wage and hour laws will be enforced. Contracting Party must forfeit to City TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) per day for each worker who works in excess of the minimum working hours when Contracting Party does not pay overtime. In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1810 et seq., eight (8) hours is the legal working day. Contracting Party also shall comply with State law requirements to maintain payroll records and shall provide for certified records and inspection of records as required by California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., including Section 1776. In addition to the other indemnities provided under this Agreement, Contracting Party shall defend (with counsel selected by City), indemnify, and hold City, Exhibit A Page 5 of 7 112 its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with performance of the Services, including, without limitation, any and all “Public works” (as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws), Contracting Party shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be independently responsible for reviewing the applicable laws and regulations and effectuating compliance with such laws. Contracting Party shall require the same of all subcontractors. 2. Retention. Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.0 of the Agreement. In accordance with said Sections, City shall pay Contracting Party a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum apportionment of the labor and materials incorporated into the Services under this Agreement during the month covered by said invoice. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained as performance security to be paid to Contracting Party within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the Services by the City Council of City, after Contracting Party has furnished City with a full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement, if required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contracting Party from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract Code § 7107) of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. City’s failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contracting Party’s obligations under the Agreement. 3. Utility Relocation. City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunk-line utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the invitation for bids or specifications. City shall reimburse Contracting Party for any costs incurred in locating, repairing damage not caused by Contracting Party, and removing or relocating such unidentified utility facilities. Contracting Party shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified utility facilities. 4. Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply: (a) Contracting Party shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contracting Party believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement. Exhibit A Page 6 of 7 113 Exhibit A (b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work shall issue a change order per Section 1.8 of the Agreement. (c) in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contracting Party whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contracting Party shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contracting Party shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting Parties. 5. Safety.

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 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 122 Exhibit E Page 5 of 6 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 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 123 Exhibit E Page 6 of 6 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 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. 124 Exhibit F Page 1 of 2 Exhibit F Indemnification F.1 Indemnity for the Benefit of City. a.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On December 17, 2024, Council declared an approximately 6-acres vacant parcel (APN 600-020-057), located south of Highway 111 and west of Costco Drive as surplus land, in accordance with the Surplus Land Act (SLA). On August 14, 2025, following a successful Notice of Availability (NOA) process, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued written findings confirming the City’s compliance with disposition requirements (Attachment 1). The City has identified two development partners: Indian Wells Hospitality Group (IWHG/Sunridge) for a boutique hotel and restaurant on the northerly 3 acres (Parcel A), and Pacific West Communities (Pacific) for a 96-unit affordable housing community on the southerly 3 acres (Parcel B). The proposed agreement (Attachment 2) establishes the legal framework for the subdivision of the property, the concentration of affordability covenants on Parcel B, and the recovery of administrative costs from the developers. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7 127 FISCAL IMPACT – None. Under Section 1.3 of the agreement, the City initially agrees to defer application and processing fees for the subdivision map applications. However, the City Manager maintains the discretion to require a "Parcel A Processing Fee Reimbursement" from IWHG/Sunridge and a "Parcel B Processing Fee Reimbursement" from Pacific at the close of escrow. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS On December 17, 2024, Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-047 (Attachment 3) formally declaring the property as "surplus land" as defined by Government Code Section 54221(b)(1). The declaration was a mandatory prerequisite under the SLA for any sale or long-term lease of public property. Following Council’s declaration, the City Manager’s office issued an NOA on January 3, 2025, to all required specified entities. During the mandatory 60-day response period, the City received interest from 4 affordable housing entities and one commercial developer. This led to a 90-day good faith negotiation period as mandated by state law. The City’s negotiations resulted in a unique mixed-use development concept that pairs a high-end hospitality product with a high-density affordable residential community. On August 14, 2025, HCD issued its "Written Findings" regarding the City’s disposition documentation. HCD concluded that the City had met all statutory requirements of the SLA, provided that the 100% affordable housing mandate was successfully implemented on the entirety of the property. The subject property, APN 600-020-057, is a prime 6.4-acre vacant site, located south of Highway 111 and west of Costco Drive. The land is bordered to the south by Vista Coralina Lane and is located within the City's Regional Commercial (CR) zoning district. This parcel represents a significant infill development opportunity in the City's primary commercial corridor. The selected development partners for this site are as follows: 1. IWHG/Sunridge – tasked with developing the northerly approximately 3 acres (Parcel A) into an AC Hotel by Marriott and a standalone restaurant pad. 2. Pacific – tasked with developing the southerly approximately 3 acres (Parcel B) into a 3-story, 96-unit affordable housing project The proposed agreement serves as the coordinating document subdividing the single parcel into 2 distinct legal lots. The City will submit all necessary applications to perfect the recording of final maps that correspond to the proposed Parcels A and B, specifically described in Certificate of Compliance (COC) 2024-0001 included in the agreement, recorded by the County of Riverside on October 29, 2025 (DOC # 2025-0333914). The City's obligation to record the final maps is contingent upon the successful finalization of Purchase and Sale Agreements (PSA) and Development Agreements (DA) with both projects, which will be brought for Council’s review and consideration in the future. 128 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City has reviewed the proposed action and determined that it is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), commonly referred to as the Common Sense Exemption. Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed action, approving an agreement governing the legal subdivision of a City owned parcel and establishing the framework for recovery of administrative costs, does not authorize any ground disturbance, construction, or physical alteration of the environment. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the approval of this agreement may have a significant direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical effect on the environment.

The City has provided a summary of the negotiations, which resulted in the City accepting two development partners, Sunridge Properties and The Pacific Companies. The City’s documentation included a draft affordability covenant, requiring 100 percent affordable housing, to be recorded against the Property for a period of 55 years for rental housing and 45 years for ownership housing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ·The Surplus Land Act (SLA) governs the disposition of Council-owned property that is no longer needed for the City’s use and requires cities to declare property as “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” prior to disposing of it, including sales and certain leases. ·Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 600-020-057 meets the definition of “surplus land” pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(b)(1) as the property is land owned in fee simple by the City, which is no longer necessary for the City’s use. ·Staff is recommending that Council adopt a resolution to declare APN 600-020- 057 as “surplus land” and authorize the City Manager or Designee to execute and administer the necessary notices and negotiations required by the SLA. ·The proposed declarations that the parcel is surplus land does not authorize the lease or sale of the parcel. Once the process is complete, any proposed lease, sale, or disposition would be subject to separate review and approval. FISCAL IMPACT – None. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2 164 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The SLA governs the disposition of City-owned property that is no longer needed for the City’s use and requires cities to declare property as “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” prior to disposing of it, including sales and certain leases. If surplus land does not fall into a category of “exempt surplus land,” then it qualifies as “surplus land.” The City owns one vacant parcel located in the City of La Quinta (APN 600-020-057) (Exhibit A to the first resolution). Staff has identified this parcel as undeveloped land not to be utilized for development projects, implemented, owned, and/or operated by the City. These parcels meet the definition of “surplus land” pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(b)(1) as the property is land owned in fee simple by the City, which is no longer necessary for the City’s use, and does not fall into any category of “exempt surplus land.” The resolution proposed, if adopted, would declare this parcel surplus land as required by the SLA, which would allow the City to sell the parcel. A Notice of Availability will be sent to required entities, who have 60 days to notify the City of their interest in the parcel. If any interest is provided, the City is required to engage in good faith negotiations for a period of 90 days. Following these steps, the City must provide the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) with a notification detailing the Notice of Availability process. ALTERNATIVES The Council may elect not to declare this parcel surplus land. As this process is required by HCD to ensure compliance with SLA, staff does not recommend this alternative.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY State law requires incorporated communities to adopt a General Plan that regulates the land development within the city’s boundaries and sphere of influence. The 2035 La Quinta General Plan (General Plan) was adopted by Council on February 19, 2013. The Housing Element was updated in 2022 for the 6 th Housing Cycle (2022-2029) and amended in 2023 to add additional sites to the housing inventory. A General Plan Annual Progress Report (General Plan APR) and Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Housing Element APR) have been prepared in compliance with State regulations. On March 10, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the General Plan APR and Housing Element APR and had no changes. FISCAL IMPACT – There are no fiscal impacts associated with this informational report. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS At the conclusion of each calendar year, the General Plan APR and Housing Element APR are prepared for submittal to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), formerly the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). These reports document progress on the General Plan for the reporting calendar year and must be submitted by April 1st of the year following that reporting period. General Plan APR California Government Code Section 65300 requires the City to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan. The General Plan addresses lands within the 167 city’s boundaries and sphere of influence (Attachment 1). Staff has presented General Plan APRs to the Planning Commission (PC) and Council since 2017. The General Plan APR was prepared according to the guidelines established by LCI and provides General Plan implementation status since its adoption on February 19, 2013. The General Plan APR reviews all goals, policies, and programs for the mandated elements: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Safety, and Noise. Additionally, the General Plan APR reviews all optional elements such as the Livable Community, Economic Development, Parks, Recreation, and Trails, Air Quality, Biological Resources, and Cultural Resource elements. All goals/policies are listed with their current status. Updates to implementation efforts are highlighted in yellow in the General Plan APR (Attachment 2). General Plan implementation is carried out regularly by all City Departments through the development and implementation of City programs, and through PC and Council review of development projects for consistency with the General Plan. Future projects this year will include the preparation of a master plan for the City’s sphere of influence area (Policy LU-1.4), the presentation of the Highway 111 Specific Plan to Council in April 2026 (Policy LU-7.3, ED-1.4, Programs AQ-1.3.f, AQ-1.3.g), and continuing the parking study for the Village Build-out Plan area (Policy LU-7.7). The Fritz Burns park renovations are under construction, and the Cultural Campus project is nearing the end of the design phase (Policy PR-1.1). Housing Element APR Preparing and submitting the Housing Element APR to HCD and LCI is required by all cities pursuant to SB 35 and AB 879, enacted in 2017. Codified as Government Code 65400, this legislation requires cities to prepare a Housing Element APR that outlines annual building activity, housing development applications received, and progress towards achieving a city’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) (Attachment 3). The allocations for the 2022-2029 cycle are as follows: Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total 420* 269 297 544 1,530 27% 18% 19% 36% 100% *Extremely Low = 210. Half of the very low-income units are required to be for extremely low- income households. In 2025, the City permitted 107 new residential units. Of these, there were 96 above moderate, five moderate, four low, and two very-low income units (including one extremely low and one acutely low). All above moderate income units were single-family homes, and the 11 moderate/lower units were accessory dwelling units. The City has exceeded its above moderate income goal of 544 units for the 2022-2029 housing cycle and has a remaining 973 units of moderate/lower income categories to still be built. The Highway 111 Specific Plan will serve to implement the Housing Element in addition to serving economic development in that it plans for affordable housing within the Specific 168 Plan area, including the three city-owned sites within the Highway 111 area. These include the 15-acre site at La Quinta Drive and Highway 111, the five-acre site at Dune Palms Road and Highway 111, and approximately three acres of the site near the Residence Inn hotel. These sites are included in the Housing Element's sites inventory as Sites 9, 5, and 13, respectively (Attachment 4). HCD requires that additional information be provided this year, including designated historical landmarks in the City and expanded reporting on the policies and programs in the Housing Element, including measurable outcomes and supporting evidence. Measurable outcomes include the number of units a program has yielded, the number of meetings with housing organizations, and the number of code revisions made during the reporting period. The Housing Element APR also requires supporting links to document this progress. With the additional reporting requirements in the 2025 Housing Element APR, the City provided more detailed information on the progress toward implementing the 28 programs identified in the Housing Element. Updates included identifying land purchased by the City and identified as surplus during the past three years; ordinances adopted to comply with state law; website updates to provide resources to residents; and various other items to address programs and provide supporting documentation (Attachment 5). Staff filed the General Plan APR and Housing Element APR by the statutory deadline of April 1st. ALTERNATIVES Council may request changes to the General Plan APR and Housing Element APR and direct staff to resubmit the APRs to LCI and HCD.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Commentary and Summary of Significant Activity The total book value of the portfolio increased approximately $8.47 million from $280.7 million at the end of September to $289.2 million at the end of December. In addition to normal operations, the increase can be partially attributed to the repayment of the SilverRock Debtor in Possession financing. The portfolio is within policy limits for total allocation by type and is also within policy guidelines for investment ratings. The chart below shows the portfolio policy compliance as measured in market value. The total market value of the portfolio increased $8.72 million from $281.5 million in September to $290.2 million in December. This variance differs from the book value increase due to market valuation fluctuations in response to interest rates. Utilizing short- term funds for liquidity needs eliminates circumstances which might require the sale of longer-term investments at unfavorable prices, and therefore the City remains unaffected by these market fluctuations. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 9 237 Treasury Rates The annualized total rate of return averaged 3.75% for the quarter and the portfolio yield to maturity was 3.64%. Total interest received for the quarter was $2.05 million. City staff routinely evaluates liquidity needs while also monitoring market trends. We are closely watching the treasury market, which continues to experience yield fluctuations as the market tries to predict the Fed movement. We are continuing to utilize the CAMP pool, but may transfer more assets to the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) if yields continue to drop. The City also continues to use a sweep function on both our operating account and our custody bank cash account, whereby funds are placed into highly-rated government funds (Invesco Treasury Portfolio – ticker TYCXX and First American Treasury Fund – ticker FUZXX) that earn interest until such time that money is reinvested or used for operations. Throughout the quarter, eight federal agency bonds, three treasuries, and two CDs matured, and one CD was sold. One federal agency bond, four treasuries, six CDs, and two corporate bonds were purchased. Maturities and purchases are listed in detail in the attached reports. Other Notes Money market funds with the fiscal agent are bond proceeds subject to bond indentures, not the City’s investment policy. Successor Agency (SA) funds cannot be invested long- term; therefore, SA funds are only invested in LAIF.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: April 7, 2026 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT DATED JANUARY 31, 2026 RECOMMENDATION Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated January 31, 2026. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •The report summarizes the City’s year-to-date (YTD) and month-to-date (MTD) revenues and expenditures for January 2026 (Attachment 1). •These reports are also reviewed by the Financial Advisory Commission. FISCAL IMPACT – None. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and Expenditure Summary Reports: Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the Council adopted in June 2025 for fiscal year 2025/26. Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any Council approved budget amendments from throughout the year, including any carryovers from fiscal year 2024/25. Period Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid in the reporting month. Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid YTD. Variance Favorable/(Unfavorable) - represents the dollar difference between YTD collections/expenditures and the current budgeted amount. Percent Used – represents the percentage activity as compared to budget YTD. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO.10 311 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.

An owner(s) or custodian(s) of an animal(s) receiving a potentially dangerous animal restraint order may request a hearing on the order by a hearing officer selected by the city manager or authorized designee. The request for a hearing must be submitted in writing to the City Clerk’s Office of the city, no later than ten (10) calendar days following the service of the order. Pending such hearing, the animal must be kept in a secure enclosure or adequately restrained as specified in the restraint order. 3. Failure of the owner(s) or custodian(s) to request a hearing on the restraint order within the ten (10) day period, or failure to attend or be represented at a scheduled hearing, shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing and shall satisfy the hearing requirements provided in this subsection. 4.

Costs for successful enforcement of this Subsection (D) shall be recouped from the animal's owner(s) or custodian(s) pursuant to Subsection (C) of this section. 6. An animal which as been determined to be a potentially dangerous animal following the conclusion of the process described in this Subsection D shall be added to a list of potentially dangerous animals maintained by the city and may be referred to the division of animal control for Riverside County. Once an animal has been determined to be a potentially dangerous animal, if there are no additional instances of the behavior described for “dangerous animal” or “potentially dangerous animal,” as defined in Section 6.16.020 (or successor provision) of Title 6 of the Riverside County Code, within a forty-eight (48) month period from the date of the restraint order, the animal may be removed from the list of potentially dangerous animals maintained by the city, and the city may send a notice of the City’s removal from the list to the division of animal control for Riverside County. a.

No person owning or harboring or having the care or custody of a dangerous and/or vicious animal shall suffer or permit such animal to go beyond the premises of such person unless the animal is securely muzzled and restrained with a chain having a minimum tensile strength of three hundred (300) pounds and not exceeding three (3) feet in length or, for animals under twenty (20) pounds, on a chain as determined by the animal control department to be adequate based on the animal's size and strength. Such animal shall be under the control of someone able to control and restrain the animal and of eighteen (18) years of age or more. C. No person shall own or harbor any animal for the purpose of fighting any other animal nor train, torment, badger, bait or use any animal for the purpose of causing or encouraging said animal to unprovoked attacks on human beings or domestic animals. Nor shall any person outfit any animal with a training device for fighting or attack, such as a weighted collar around the neck of the animal. Nor shall any person allow an animal to hang suspended from an object by biting into and hanging onto the object with its jaws. D. No person shall possess, with intent to sell, or offer to sell, breed, or buy or attempt to buy within the city any vicious or dangerous animal. E. Any person owning or harboring or having the care of any dangerous and/or vicious animal shall maintain a policy of insurance in an amount not less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) insuring said person against any claim, loss, damage, or injury to persons, domestic animals, or property resulting from acts, whether intentional or unintentional, of the dangerous and vicious animal. Such person shall produce evidence of such insurance upon the request of an animal control officer. F. Whenever an animal suspected of being dangerous and/or vicious is reported, an animal control officer may investigate the circumstances, and if he or she finds that by reason of the animal's acts, propensities, or disposition, there is cause to believe it is a dangerous and/or vicious animal, as defined in this title, he or she shall commence the process of having the animal declared dangerous and/or vicious by providing written 376 Created: 2026-03-25 09:57:51 [EST] (Supp. No. 7) Page 15 of 26 notice, in accordance with Sections 1.01.300 and 1.09.110 of this code, to the owner and the person and/or the owner of the animal that was attacked or bitten by the dangerous and/or vicious animal. The notice shall: (1) inform the owner and the person and/or the owner of the animal that was attacked or bitten by the dangerous and/or vicious animal of the general facts and circumstances of the incident(s) that provide a basis for the city's action; (2) shall state that a mandatory administrative hearing will be held; and (3) shall indicate that at the hearing, if the animal is declared dangerous and vicious, it would result in the animal: (a) being humanely euthanized in the interest of public safety, (b) being required to be maintained as set forth in this section, or (c) a determination that the animal is not dangerous and/or vicious. The notice shall also notify the owner of the right to appeal and the time period for filing an appeal of the determination. The mandatory hearing may be set aside if both the owner of the dangerous and/or vicious animal, and the person(s) attacked or bitten and/or the owner of the animal(s) attacked or bitten all waive their rights to an administrative hearing and accept the animal control officer's determination in writing and delivered such written acceptance to the animal control department. G. Ownership of an animal under investigation pursuant to this section shall not be transferred to a new owner or caretaker during the process. Once an animal has been found to be vicious and/or dangerous, this finding shall remain in effect for the remainder of the life of the animal, and the ownership of the animal may not be transferred. Animals without an owner found to constitute a threat to the public welfare will be humanely euthanized in the interest of public safety. No ownership rights can or shall be granted to a person other than the owner of such animals at the time of the determination. The owner of a dangerous and/or vicious animal must be eighteen (18) years old or older. H. If, after the administrative hearing, it is determined that the animal is vicious and/or dangerous, and the hearing officer determines that the animal does not need to be humanely euthanized in the interest of public safety, the hearing officer shall order the owner, and any person harboring or having care of the animal, to do all of the following: 1. Keep the animal confined as provided in this section. If suitable restraints or enclosures ordered by the hearing officer are not immediately available, or if the owner or keeper of such animal fails or refuses to demonstrate that such restraints or enclosures are available or suitable, or if restraint or confinement is impracticable, the animal shall be impounded until the owner is able to comply with the hearing officer's order. For any such impoundment, the owner shall be liable to the city for payment of fees as prescribed in Section 10.20.080, and any animal not reclaimed within thirty (30) calendar days after such impoundment shall be deemed abandoned and unclaimed and shall be subject to humane euthanization. 2. Have the animal microchipped and photographed for positive future identification. The microchipping procedure shall be performed by a California licensed veterinarian or authorized representative. This procedure shall be performed at the owner's expense. The animal will be made available to the animal control department at a reasonable time for scanning to verify the procedure and document the identification number of the microchip. 3. Ensure the animal and its owner completes a behavior modification and rehabilitation course for the animal at the owner's sole expense. The course must be approved in advance by the city and written proof of completion must be submitted to the city within ninety (90) days of the owner being notified of the dangerous and/or vicious animal declaration, or within ninety (90) days of the animal being released to its owner, whichever is later. 4. Obtain and maintain the insurance required by this section, and pay a supplemental license fee in an amount established by resolution of the city council for the increased costs to the city of maintaining the records of the animal and performing inspections to ensure compliance with all requirements imposed. 377 Created: 2026-03-25 09:57:51 [EST] (Supp. No. 7) Page 16 of 26 5. Comply with any additional orders that the hearing officer determines are necessary to assure that the public health, safety and welfare are maintained. I. In cases where the animal is not impounded, and written notification of the dangerous and/or vicious animal declaration has been given as herein provided, if an owner fails to provide adequate restraint or control of the animal as ordered by the hearing officer within thirty (30) days, or if the owner thereafter at any time fails to maintain the adequate restraint or control or comply with the orders of the hearing officer, the owner shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and the animal shall be impounded and subject to humane euthanization. No animal found to be dangerous and/or vicious or a threat to the public health and/or safety shall be placed up for adoption to the public.

Such permit shall be valid only so long as the owner possesses all other required governmental permits and does not violate this title. F. The initial fee for the issuance of each permit shall be valid for one (1) year. The fee for renewal of an unexpired permit shall be the same as for an original permit, unless modified by a resolution of the city council.

A notice of revocation shall be provided to the permit holder. The notice shall state that it will not be effective for a period of ten (10) calendar days, during which the permit holder may appeal the determination. The procedures for appeal shall be those set forth in Chapter 2.08 of this code.

Whenever any peace officer or animal control officer has reasonable grounds to believe that very prompt action is required to protect the health or safety of the animal or the health or safety of others, the officer shall immediately seize the animal and comply with the procedure established in Section 6.12.030. In all other cases, the officer shall comply with the provisions of Section 6.12.040. The cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this chapter shall constitute a lien on the animal and the animal shall not be returned to its owner until the charges are paid, unless the hearing officer determines that the seizure was unjustified. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 2, 1991) 6.12.030 Post seizure hearing. Whenever an animal control officer or peace officer seizes or impounds an animal based on a reasonable belief that prompt action is required to protect the health or safety of the animal or the health or safety of others, the officer shall, prior to the commencement of any criminal proceedings provide the owner or keeper of the 428 Created: 2026-04-02 12:31:03 [EST] (Supp. No. 84, Update 1) Page 41 of 61 animal, if known or ascertained after reasonable investigation, with the opportunity for a post seizure hearing as hereinafter provided to determine the validity of the seizure or impoundment, or both. A. The health department shall cause a notice to be affixed to a conspicuous place where the animal was situated or personally deliver a notice of the seizure or impoundment, or both, to the owner or keeper within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. The notice shall include all of the following: 1. The name, business address, and telephone number of the officer providing the notice; 2. A description of the animal seized, including any identification upon the animal; 3. The authority and purpose for the seizure, or impoundment, including the time, place and circumstances under which the animal was seized; 4.

The declaration may be returned by personal delivery or mail; 5. A statement that the cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this section is a lien on the animal and that the animal shall not be returned to the owner until the charges are paid, and that failure to request or to attend a scheduled hearing shall result in liability for this cost.

If any animal is properly seized under this chapter, the owner or keeper shall be personally liable to the seizing agency for the cost of the seizure and care of the animal. Furthermore, if the charges for the seizure or impoundment and any other charges permitted under this chapter are not paid within fourteen (14) days of the seizure, or, if the owner, within fourteen (14) days of notice of availability of the animal to be returned, fails to pay charges permitted under this chapter and take possession of the animal, the animal shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may be disposed of by the impounding officer.

A veterinarian may humanely destroy an impounded animal without regard to the prescribed holding period when it has been determined that the animal has incurred severe injuries or is incurably ill or crippled. A veterinarian also may immediately humanely destroy an impounded animal afflicted with a serious contagious disease unless the owner or his or her agent immediately authorizes treatment of the animal by a veterinarian at the expense of the owner or agent.

No animal properly seized under this chapter shall be returned to its owner until, in the determination of the seizing agency or hearing officer, the animal is physically fit or the owner can demonstrate to the seizing agency's or hearing officer's satisfaction that the owner can and will provide the necessary care. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 7, 1991) 6.12.080 Hearings. All hearings conducted pursuant to this chapter shall be conducted by the health officer or his or her designee (hearing officer), who shall not have been directly involved in the subject action and shall not be subordinate in rank to the person seizing or impounding the animal. Hearings shall be conducted in the following manner: A. The hearing officer may continue the hearing for a reasonable period of time, if the hearing officer deems such continuance to be necessary and proper or if the owner or custodian shows good cause for such continuance. B. The health department shall have the burden of proof to establish, by a preponderance of evidence, the existence of the condition or conditions which give rise to the need for the seizure or impoundment. C. In a case where the department is also seeking to terminate the owner's rights in the animal, the department shall have put the owner or keeper of the animal on due written notice thereof and shall establish the existence of the owner's or keeper's acts or omissions resulting in cruelty or neglect to the animal by clear and convincing evidence to a reasonable certainty. D. The department shall present its case first, followed by the party against whom the seizure or impoundment is being proposed. The department may present rebuttal in the discretion of the hearing officer. E. Oral evidence shall be taken only on oath or affirmation. F. Each party shall have the right to call and examine witnesses, to introduce exhibits, to cross-examine opposing witnesses on any other matter relevant to the issues even though that matter was not covered in the direct examination, to impeach any witness regardless of which party first called the witness, and to rebut evidence. G. The hearing need not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses. Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule which might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil actions. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence, but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions. The rules of privilege shall be effective to the extent that they are otherwise required by statute to be recognized in the hearing. Irrelevant and unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. H. At the conclusion of the hearing, each side shall be given an opportunity to summarize its position. I. Within three working days after the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall render, in writing, his or her findings, decision and order thereon, and shall give notice, in writing, of the findings, decision and order to the owner or custodian of the animal. 431 Created: 2026-04-02 12:31:03 [EST] (Supp. No. 84, Update 1) Page 44 of 61 J. In the event a sufficient quantum of evidence presented at the hearing supports a determination for seizure, impoundment and/or termination of the owner's rights in the animal, the hearing officer as a part of his decision may order, but is not limited to ordering, that one or more of the following actions be undertaken: 1. That the owner's and/or custodian's rights in the dog, cat or other animal are terminated; 2. That the owner or custodian of the dog, cat or other animal shall remove the animal(s) from the premises by a specified date; 3. That the health department personnel after a specified date, shall impound the animal or animals; 4. That the health department shall sell, give away, or otherwise dispose of, the animal(s) with the owner or custodian of the animal(s) being responsible to reimburse the county or agency as designated by the county for all costs and expenses including, but not limited to, board, care, veterinary services, and costs of disposal. If the animal(s) are sold, the proceeds from the sale shall go to the county or agency as designated by the county. K. A decision upholding seizure or impoundment shall become effective upon issuance. L. A decision terminating an owner's rights in the animal shall become effective thirty (30) days from the date the decision is mailed unless a stay of execution is granted.

Every such, disabled, infirm or crippled animal, except a dog or cat, abandoned in any part of the unincorporated area the county may be immediately killed by the health department or law enforcement agency or their designees if, after a reasonable search, no owner of the animal can be located. It shall be the duty of all peace officers and animal control officers to cause the animal to be killed or rehabilitated and placed in a suitable home on information that the animal is stray or abandoned. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 9, 1991) 6.12.100 Transfer to veterinarian. Any peace officer, humane society officer, or animal control officer shall convey all injured cats and dogs found without their owners in a public place directly to a veterinarian known by the officer to be a veterinarian who ordinarily treats dogs and cats for a determination of whether the animal shall be immediately and humanely destroyed or shall be hospitalized under proper care and given emergency treatment. If the owner does not redeem the animal within the locally prescribed waiting period, the veterinarian may personally perform euthanasia on the animal. If the animal is treated and recovers from its injuries, the veterinarian may keep the animal for purposes of adoption, provided the responsible animal control agency has first been contacted and has refused to take possession of the animal. Whenever any animal is transferred to a veterinarian in a clinic, such as an emergency clinic which is not in continuous operation, the veterinarian may, in turn, transfer the animal to an appropriate facility. If the veterinarian determines that the animal shall be hospitalized under proper care and given emergency treatment, the costs of any services which are provided pending the owner's inquiry to the responsible agency or department shall be paid from the dog license fees, fines, and fees from impounding dogs in the city, county or city and county in which the animal was licensed or, if the animal is unlicensed, shall be paid by the jurisdiction in 432 Created: 2026-04-02 12:31:03 [EST] (Supp. No. 84, Update 1) Page 45 of 61 which the animal was found, subject to the provision that this cost be repaid by the animal's owner. The cost of caring for and treating any animal seized under this section shall constitute a lien on the animal and the animal shall not be returned to the owner until the charges are paid. No veterinarian shall be criminally or civilly liable for any decision which he or she makes or for services which he or she provides pursuant to this section. An animal control agency which takes possession of an animal pursuant to this section shall keep records of the whereabouts of the animal for a seventy-two (72) hour period from the time of possession, and those records shall be available for inspection by the public upon request.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any peace officer or any animal control officer may, with the approval of his or her immediate superior, humanely destroy any stray or abandoned animal in the field in any case where the animal is too severely injured to move or where a veterinarian is not available and it would be more humane to dispose of the animal. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 11, 1991) 6.12.120 Violation—Penalty. Every owner, driver or keeper of any animal who permits the animal to be in any building, enclosure, lane, street, square or lot within the unincorporated area of Riverside County, without proper care or attention shall be guilty of an infraction or misdemeanor as hereinafter specified. Such individual shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense of each and every day or portion thereof during which any violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is committed, continued or permitted. Any individual convicted of a violation of this chapter shall be: (1) guilty of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first violation; (2) guilty of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200.00) for a second violation. The third and any additional violations shall constitute a misdemeanor offense and shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or six months in jail, or both. Notwithstanding the above, a first offense may be charged and prosecuted as a misdemeanor. Payment of any penalty herein shall not relieve an individual from the responsibility for correcting the violation. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 12, 1991) 6.12.130 Violation—Animal(s) to be forfeited. Upon the conviction of a person charged with a violation of this chapter, all animals lawfully seized and impounded with respect to the violation shall be adjudged by the court to be forfeited and shall thereupon be transferred to the impounding officer for proper disposition. A person convicted of a violation of this chapter shall be personally liable to the seizing agency for all costs of impoundment from the time of seizure to the time of proper disposition. This chapter shall not prohibit the seizure or impoundment of animals as evidence as provided for under any other provision of law. (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 13, 1991) 6.12.140 Chapter provisions not exclusive. This chapter is not intended, nor shall it be construed in any way, to affect Sections 31101 or 31752 of the Food and Agriculture Code. 433 Created: 2026-04-02 12:31:04 [EST] (Supp. No. 84, Update 1) Page 46 of 61 (Ord. 716.1 § 2 (part), 2000; Ord. 716 § 14, 1991) Chapter 6.16 POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND DANGEROUS ANIMALS Sections: 6.16.010 Findings. A. Because of the increased urbanization of Riverside County the county has experienced increasing numbers of dogs and other animals being kept in close proximity to humans including children. B. The keeping of dogs and other animals in close proximity to adults and children has resulted in increasing incidents of attacks, biting and menacing behavior by such dogs and other animals. C. These incidents now present a public health and safety problem to the residents of this county and increasing numbers of cases have resulted in painful and/or serious injuries to adults and children, death and injuries to other animals, attendant economic losses to county residents, and anxiety to those bitten by unlicensed animals whose vaccination status is therefore not established. D. In an attempt to bring this problem under control, it is necessary to: (1) increase the total number of animals which are licensed and thus properly established to have been vaccinated against rabies; (2) encourage the spaying and neutering of animals, which (a) reduces the number of strays at large and not safely confined, (b) reduce aggressiveness and animals at large, and (c) reduces the financial cost to taxpayers of animal control services; and (3) establish a warning and hearing procedure to put the owners of potentially dangerous, dangerous dogs and other animals on adequate notice to control such animals and to bring about the confinement of such animals and the destruction of those animals where other lesser measures have failed or are inappropriate.

The board of supervisors finds that the population growth of undomesticated burro herds, and the increased urbanization of the county, has resulted in an increase in injured wild burros from traffic accidents within the county. A. The herds have migrated into populated areas using rail lines and roadways seeking food that is provided by well-meaning people. Food that is made available in more populated areas reduces or eliminates the burros' fear of humans and cars and encourages the burros to abandon their natural instinct to graze. B. The change in the food seeking behaviors of the burros because of these well-meaning people presents a safety issue for the residents, and burros of the county. C. The burros continue to move further into populated areas in search of food resulting in an increase in traffic accidents with serious injuries to citizens, burros, and the infrastructure of roadways and regional rail lines. D. In an attempt to bring this problem under control, it is necessary to (1) prohibit feeding, or providing food in any manner, to burros that are not within the legal possession of that person, (2) prohibit the harassment of the animals to reduce the human interaction that has resulted in the burros abandoning their grazing grounds. (Ord. No. 934, § 1, 6-20-2017) 6.24.020 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to protect the undomesticated burro population by encouraging the instinctual behavior of the undomesticated burros by reducing human interactions with them. This purpose will be fulfilled by enforcing restrictions on human and undomesticated burro interactions and will be enforced with infractions and administrative penalties and the resulting fines. (Ord. No. 934, § 2, 6-20-2017) 6.24.030 Authority. This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority granted by Article 11, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of California, Section 2156 And Section 4600 of the California Fish and Game Code, Section 53074.5 of the Government Code, and the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 1, Section 251.1 regarding the harassment of animals. Generally the area of fish and game has been preempted by the state, however, Fish and Game Code Section 2156 authorizes regulation of fish and game by local government in situations where the enacted ordinances relating to the possession or care of wild animals are more restrictive than the regulations. This chapter is based on a regulation of the Department of Fish and Game, 14 CA ADC § 251.1, which was sought by San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and prohibits the harassment, including feeding of, undomesticated mammals, or birds. This 446 Created: 2026-04-02 12:31:04 [EST] (Supp. No. 84, Update 1) Page 59 of 61 chapter is more restrictive than the regulation because it is specific to the county burros and focuses on prohibiting feeding as its primary objective, with a secondary goal of prohibiting the harassment as set forth in the regulation. The chapter is not duplicative of state law, or preempted by state legislation. (Ord. No. 934, § 3, 6-20-2017) 6.24.040 Exemptions. This chapter shall not apply to: A.

Preliminary design concepts will be presented to Council for review and consideration at a future date. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Adams Street Corridor Feasibility Study evaluates opportunities to improve safety, traffic operations, and multimodal accessibility between Miles Avenue and Avenue 48 (Attachment 1). Existing conditions reflect congestion, queuing, and limited low-stress bicycle and pedestrian facilities, particularly during peak and school-related periods. A preferred alternative has been identified that balances traffic operations with enhanced multimodal connectivity, and staff seeks Council direction to advance toward preliminary design (Attachment 2). FISCAL IMPACT There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this study session. Future costs may be associated with preliminary design, environmental clearance, and construction. Funding is currently included in project no. 2019-05, Highway 111 Corridor Plan Improvements, and may include the future pursuit of grant funding opportunities. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The City retained GHD, Inc. to prepare the Adams Street Corridor Feasibility Study as part of the ongoing Highway 111 Corridor Plan planning efforts, which evaluates the segment of Adams Street between Miles Avenue and Avenue 48 to identify improvements that enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility for all users. Adams Street serves as a key north-south corridor providing access to residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and regional connections. The corridor also represents an opportunity to expand multimodal infrastructure and improve connectivity within the City’s transportation network. STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 2 467 The study was initiated to address several identified challenges along the corridor: Traffic Operations: Existing and future conditions indicate increasing congestion and queuing at key intersections, including Highway 111, Miles Avenue, and Corporate Centre Drive. Safety Concerns: Collision patterns and operational conflicts exist at major intersections and along the corridor. Multimodal Deficiencies: The corridor currently lacks low-stress bicycle and pedestrian facilities, resulting in limited use by non-motorized users and diversion to adjacent neighborhood streets. Future Conditions: Modeling indicates that without improvements, portions of the corridor are projected to operate below acceptable levels of service. The feasibility study included a comprehensive evaluation of existing and future conditions: Field observations during peak commute and school periods Traffic forecasting and demand modeling using the Citywide model Bicycle Level of Stress (LTS) analysis Traffic operations analysis (LOS and queuing) Microsimulation modeling of corridor performance Development and evaluation of conceptual geometric alternatives Modeling results indicate that traffic redistribution to parallel facilities such as Dune Palms Road and Jefferson Street can support a reconfiguration of Adams Street while maintaining acceptable network performance. Alternatives were evaluated using the following criteria: Traffic calming benefits (speed reduction) Buffered bicycle and NEV facilities Reduction in conflicts between vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians Improvement to overall network Bicycle Level of Stress (LTS) Traffic operations under build-out conditions (LOS and queuing) Preferred Alternative Based on the analysis, a preferred alternative has been identified that reconfigures the corridor to better balance vehicular operations with multimodal access. 468 Key elements of the preferred alternative include: Reallocation of roadway space to support multimodal facilities Introduction of buffered or separated bicycle facilities to reduce user stress Traffic calming measures to improve safety and corridor comfort Improved intersection operations to address queuing and congestion Enhanced connectivity to local and regional bicycle and pedestrian networks The preferred alternative is intended to create a more complete street that safely accommodates vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians while maintaining overall system performance. Key Findings A multimodal-focused corridor configuration can be implemented while maintaining acceptable traffic operations due to network redistribution. Existing conditions discourage active transportation due to high traffic stress. Corridor improvements provide an opportunity to improve safety and accessibility without significantly impacting regional traffic flow. ALTERNATIVES Provide direction to proceed with the preferred alternative and return with preliminary design concepts; or Request evaluation of additional alternatives or modifications to the preferred concept; or Provide direction to maintain existing corridor conditions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  The Highway 111 Corridor area (Corridor) has been a priority area for long-term planning within the City since 2018, with a Corridor study having been prepared by the Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) in 2018 and the Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019 Corridor Plan) prepared in 2019 by Rangwala and Associates.  Council authorized the preparation of a Specific Plan (SP) and Development Code (Code) for the Corridor in 2020 to further the goals of the 2019 Corridor Plan and approved a contract with GHD and Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC) to prepare the documents.  The proposed applications include a Specific Plan (SP), Zone Change (ZC), and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA). The SP proposes to repeal and replace the 11 existing specific plans with a single, unified specific plan for the entire Corridor, implementing the 2019 Corridor Plan vision. The ZC proposes to change the commercial zoning of the Corridor from Regional Commercial, Commercial Park, and 673 Community Commercial to Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) and remove the Mixed Use Overlay and Affordable Housing Overlays, and include an Auto Oriented Development (AOD) Overlay and Active Frontage (AF) Overlay. The ZOA proposes adding a new section to Title 9 to incorporate development regulations that implement the new SP.  On October 14, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing and recommended that the Council approve the applications.  On November 18, 2025, Council reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing, which was continued until January 20, 2026, to give staff time to further review the proposed Code with stakeholders and provide suggested revisions to the SP and Code if needed. Staff met with and reviewed the proposed Code with stakeholders and proposed suggested revisions to provide greater clarity and flexibility, and to attempt to address concerns of stakeholders.  On January 20, 2026, Council reviewed the proposed suggested revisions and continued the public hearing until April 7, 2026, and requested staff present the redlined Code to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation.  On February 24, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the Code and suggested further revisions. FISCAL IMPACT The Corridor area is comprised of an approximate 410-acre commercial area within the City, which generates approximately 75% of the City’s sales tax revenue. The proposed SP and Code would continue to allow for commercial development in the Corridor to preserve the sales tax base. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Corridor is located in the central portion of the City and includes properties to the north and south of Highway 111, generally between Avenue 48 on the south and the Whitewater Stormwater Channel on the north, and generally between Washington and Jefferson Streets on the west and east (Attachment 1). The Corridor has been a priority for long-term planning within the City since 2018. Planning efforts included a study prepared by the Urban Land Institute and a Corridor plan accepted by Council and Planning Commission in 2019, known as the Highway 111 Corridor Plan or 2019 Corridor Plan. This led to further planning work on the Corridor, including an overall SP and Code for the entire Corridor, as well as environmental analysis to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Work on the SP and Code project continued between 2020 and 2025, with the preparation of a market study, development strategy study, analysis of the existing code and specific plans, a draft SP, a draft Code, stakeholder outreach, and preparation and public review circulation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). To facilitate this project, an SP, ZC, and ZOA have been prepared. The SP proposes to repeal and replace the 11 existing specific plans with a single, unified SP for the entire Corridor, implementing the 2019 Corridor Plan vision. The ZC proposes to change the commercial 674 zoning of the Corridor from Regional Commercial (RC), Commercial Park (CP), and Community Commercial (CC) to Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU), remove the Mixed Use Overlay and Affordable Housing Overlays, and include AOD and AF Overlays. The ZOA proposes adding a new section to Title 9 to incorporate development regulations that implement the new SP. On October 14, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing and after hearing public testimony, unanimously recommended that the Council adopt the MND and approve the SP, ZC, and ZOA. On November 18, 2025, Council reviewed the proposed applications at a public hearing and continued the hearing until January 20, 2026, to give staff time to further review the proposed Code with stakeholders and provide suggested changes if needed. The staff report for the November 18, 2025, meeting is available at the following link (starting on page 109): https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/51988/638996046531000000 Staff and GHD met with the team from Washington Park to discuss their concerns regarding the proposed Code and how their site integrates with it. These concerns primarily pertained to the restriction of auto-oriented uses to the AOD Overlay within 300 feet of the Highway 111 Corridor and the provision for open space on vacant pads that are developed with infrastructure, such as retention basins or parking lots. At the January 20, 2026, Council hearing, staff reported on the stakeholder communications and presented conceptual revisions to the proposed Code. Council continued the hearing until April 7, 2026, to give staff time to prepare a redlined version of the proposed Code incorporating the conceptual revisions presented, and allow the Planning Commission to review the proposed redlines pursuant to Gov. Code Section 65857. The staff report for the January 20, 2026, Council hearing summarizes the stakeholder communications further and is available at the following link (starting on page 263): https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/52190/639045194495970000 On February 24, 2026, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed redlines; the staff report is available at the following link (starting on page 22): https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/52318/639072006891770000 Prior to the meeting, Commissioners had the opportunity to meet with the representative from the Washington Park shopping center to hear the concerns regarding auto-oriented uses and provisions for existing vacant pads within the center. At the February 24, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, several Commissioners expressed concern about restrictions on auto- oriented uses outside the proposed AOD Overlay and suggested extending the AOD Overlay along Washington and Jefferson Streets within the Plan area. There was also a concern with exempting uses in the AOD Overlay from building frontage requirements. Staff has prepared exhibits and revised Code text to address these, and has included them in green text with the redlined Code document (Exhibit C to the attached Ordinance). These suggested Code revisions also require revisions to the SP document, which are shown in underlined green text in Exhibit B to attached SP Resolution. 675 Legal Framework All cities, including La Quinta, derive their land-use authority from the California Constitution under what is commonly known as the “police power.” This power is broad and flexible, allowing cities to enact and enforce laws for the promotion and protection of health, safety, and general welfare related to legitimate governmental purposes, which include the city’s land use, zoning, and related licensing powers. Requirements for exercising this police power are primarily codified in the Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Section 65000 et seq.). This state law, among many other provisions, establishes a “hierarchy” for local government land use planning, structured from top to bottom to include (1) the general plan; (2) any specific plan(s); (3) a zoning code; (4) specific relief from the zoning code – e.g., conditional use permits or variances; (5) subdivision maps; and (6) building and similar permits. Pursuant to Planning and Zoning Law, general plans, specific plans, and zoning codes are adopted as “legislative acts”. City councils, as the legislative bodies that adopt these “legislative acts,” have great deference and broad discretion when developing, considering, and approving them. The law recognizes that local planning and zoning involve weighing and balancing competing interests in the formulation of development policies. While specific plans and zoning codes must be consistent with the General Plan, consistency does not require compliance with all General Plan goals and policies if a specific plan and zoning code furthers some of them and does not hinder their attainment. Courts have interpreted the consistency provision as requiring a project to be “in agreement or harmony with” the terms of the applicable plan. The staff report is structured in the hierarchy described above. Additionally, through its “police power,” a city may enact land-use regulations that could affect economic values. Absent some state authorization that would vest a right to develop a property, such as a development agreement, there is no vested right to develop or use property based on existing uses authorized under a general plan, specific plan, or zoning code. CONCEPTUAL REVISIONS TO PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN AND CODE The following is a list of revisions to the proposed Code based on staff review of various projects and discussions with developers/stakeholders. These were presented to Council in January and Planning Commission in February. Revisions are shown in red text in Exhibit C of the attached Ordinance.  Clarify allowed encroachment standard for roof overhang, architectural features, and stairs/ramps.  Clarify that Image Corridor height limitations/setbacks are superseded by the HMU Zone Standards.  Allow uncovered patios (no roof) to encroach up to the sidewalk in the Active Frontage Overlay, so that the patio/dining area is an extension of the sidewalk & public realm.  Update list of allowed Minor Adjustments to authorize additional flexibility for: open space, frontages, landscaping, and transparency standards. 676  Update terms used for consistency.  Delete all bike parking requirements since these are regulated in the Building Code, and update section cross-references, as needed.  Clarify text regarding safety fencing (e.g., fences for pools, etc.) from fence height and design restrictions; safety requirements would prevail over zoning standards.  Revise frontage type(s) to account for hotel lobby and common retail entry types and adjust percentage of frontage required.  Refine "Shopfront" frontage standards to clarify measurements.  Modify Open Space requirements to apply only to residential and residential mixed-use projects. o Non-residential projects less than 3.5 acres will not trigger the open space requirement. Non-residential projects 3.5 acres and larger will trigger civic space standards.  Review and update, as needed, the applicability of large site standards to ensure subdivision of sites currently 3.5 acres or larger (as well as development of multiple individual parcels with combined acreage of 3.5 acres or larger) will comply with large site standards and the site planning process. Planning Commission’s suggested revisions include the following, and are reflected in green text in the Code and SP.  Revise the AOD Overlay maps in the Code and SP to reflect the Planning Commission’s request to extend the AOD Overlay along Washington and Jefferson Streets. The new overlay area is outlined in green dashed boxes on Land Use Framework Concept map in the SP.  Exempt certain auto-oriented uses from building frontage requirements, including auto repair shops, private parking lots and garages as a principal use, and new and used vehicle sales and leasing shops. ALTERNATIVES Council may approve the Specific Plan and Development Code with all presented redlines (incorporating green and red text), approve without the Planning Commission’s suggested revisions (incorporating only red text), or continue the public hearing to a later date for further discussion if more information is requested.

Development Director City of La Quinta (760) 777-7000 Project Location Located along the Highway 111 Corridor within the City of La Quinta, Riverside County General Plan Land Use Designation General Commercial Zoning CR (Regional Commercial), CC (Community Commercial), CP (Commercial Park), RM (Medium Density Residential) 1.1 CEQA Requirements This project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The lead agency is City of La Quinta (City). The purpose of this Initial Study (IS) is to provide a basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or a Negative Declaration (ND). This IS is intended to satisfy the requirements of the CEQA (Public Resources Code, Div 13, Sec 21000-21177) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sec 15000-15387). CEQA encourages lead agencies and applicants to modify their projects to avoid significant adverse impacts. Section 15063(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines states the content requirements of an IS as follows: 1. A description of the project including the location of the project; 2. An identification of the environmental setting; 3. An identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix, or other method, provided that entries on a checklist or other form are briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence to support the entries; 4. A discussion of the ways to mitigate the significant effects identified, if any; 5. An examination of whether the project would be consistent with existing zoning, plans, and other applicable land use controls; and 6. The name of the person or persons who prepared or participated in the IS. Environmental Analysis Methodology The State CEQA Guidelines present several “Special Situations” that include unique requirements for environmental evaluation. Section 15183 discusses “Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning.” Subsection (a) states, “CEQA mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. 690 Project Information City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-2 This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies.” This project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan, which is included in Section 4, References. The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would enable proposed future projects to consider this impact analysis when evaluating their potential environmental impacts. Where sufficiently addressed herein, future development may be considered “within the scope” of this environmental analysis. As a programmatic-level document, however, this CEQA analysis is not anticipated to provide sufficient detail to fully address the project-specific impacts of all future development. Indeed, it is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects once sufficient details are known. In such cases, the necessary environmental studies and documentation may be conducted at the time of proposal. It is anticipated that CEQA compliance for future projects would be tiered from this document. 1.2 Project Background The City is preparing a Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan (hereinafter “Specific Plan” or “Project”) and Highway 111 Development Code to facilitate the establishment of Highway 111 as a vibrant mixed-use corridor. The Highway 111 Corridor (Corridor) consists of a roughly two-mile stretch of businesses, mostly retail, located along the La Quinta portion of Highway 111, between Washington and Jefferson Streets. Approximately 75% of the City’s sales tax is generated in the Corridor. The Specific Plan is intended to guide the orderly development and redevelopment of local infrastructure, businesses, and housing within the Corridor. The City intends that these improvements would provide a unifying blueprint for one interconnected space to shop, live, work, and play, accessible via Highway 111, the Coachella Valley (CV) Link, and other multi-use paths. The Highway 111 Development Code is a land use policy that establishes development standards for the Corridor's expansion, incorporating location-specific guidelines like active frontage, and offering detailed information on qualifying uses, as well as additional requirements and permissions for future growth. The CV Link is a 40-mile pathway providing access to pedestrians, bicyclists, and low-speed electric vehicles on a dual pathway that runs mostly parallel to Highway 111 along the Whitewater Wash just north of the Project area. This regional pathway connects Palm Springs to Thermal and is expected to draw 13,500-16,000 users annually (City of La Quinta, 2019). Population growth anticipated by the Specific Plan is assumed to be captured within the City’s current General Plan; however, the new Specific Plan would supersede and effectively replace existing Specific Plans that were previously adopted within the Project vicinity. Previously adopted Specific Plans are as follows: • SP 1987-011 Washington Park • SP 1989-014 111 La Quinta Center • SP 1996-027 Jefferson Plaza • SP 1996-028 Dune Palms Center • SP 1997-029 Centre at La Quinta • SP 1999-036 La Quinta Corporate Center • SP 2000-043 Point Happy • SP 2000-047 La Quinta Court • SP 2003-066 The Pavilion • SP 2005-075 Komar Desert Center • SP 2008-085 Coral Mountain Apartments 691 Project Information City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-3 Additional details regarding population growth are provided in Section 1.4 below. This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been prepared in accordance with CEQA to provide a programmatic-level review of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan. 1.3 Project Location and Existing Setting The Specific Plan project area is located along Highway 111 within the City of La Quinta, which is in the County of Riverside. The City is located in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains in the Coachella Valley. The Valley extends about 45 miles southeast from the San Gorgonio Pass to the northern shore of the Salton Sea and the neighboring Imperial Valley. Cities in the vicinity of La Quinta include the cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and Indio, among others. The Project area encompasses just over approximately 410 acres (~0.64 square miles) of the Highway 111 Corridor spanning from approximately Washington Street on the west end to Jefferson Street on the east; and from the Whitewater flood control channel on the north to Avenue 47, and Vista Coralina Lane on the south. Development along Highway 111 in the Project area comprises a mix of uses, principally commercial (e.g., big box retail, strip center, grocery, restaurants, auto dealers) and large surface parking lots. Some residential uses are located to the south. There are a few vacant parcels scattered throughout the Project area. Landscaping consists of street trees and other ornamental xeriscape. Transportation facilities are largely improved with a full street network, curbs and sidewalks, and crosswalks at major intersections. Figure 1-1, Project Vicinity, presents the Project area within the context of the City. Figure 1-2, Current and Potential Development Areas, presents the Highway 111 Corridor within the City and outlines the seven development areas along the corridor. 1.4 Project Description Purpose The proposed Specific Plan provides guidance for implementing development within the Project area. The draft Specific Plan is available for public review by contacting the City of La Quinta Design and Development Department. As noted above, the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan (hereinafter “General Plan”) and furthers the objectives of the General Plan by providing a more detailed planning document for development of specific sites and streetscape improvements. This Specific Plan is intended to provide a comprehensive development approach for Highway 111 focused on public connectivity, mixed- use development, and enhanced transportation options. Introduction of mixed-use development is essential for the future of the Highway 111 Corridor. By combining commercial, residential, and recreational spaces , the Highway 111 Corridor is intended to become a vibrant urban environment that encourages economic growth and enhances the quality of life. Integration of pedestrian-friendly pathways and dedicated bike lanes, for example, would ensure seamless connectivity between residential areas, commerce, and cultural hubs, fostering a more engaged and active community. The Highway 111 Corridor is currently heavily vehicle-centric, and this Specific Plan aims to promote public accessibility through residential and retail densification and introduction of more compatible land uses to improve the Corridor’s urban landscape. This holistic development approach is anticipated to revitalize the region and serve as a catalyst for urban renewal and community well-being. 692 Project Information City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-4 The City of La Quinta Municipal Code sets forth site-specific standards and regulations that govern the size, shape, and type of use that would occur in accordance with the proposed Project. The proposed Specific Plan is intended to be built out over the course of 20 to 25 years. Economically feasible buildout under the Specific Plan could result in the following additional square footages (sf): • Residential: 1,464,000 to 1,837,000 sf • Retail: 107,000 to 194,000 sf • Office: 82,000 sf • Hotel: 150,000 to 250,000 sf Population In 2020, La Quinta's permanent population was estimated to be 40,660 individuals. However, during the winter months, the seasonal population swells with an estimated additional 10,000 individuals, marking a 25% increase in the City's total population during that period (City of La Quinta, 2022). Population growth is expected to rise along the Highway 111 Corridor over the next two decades and beyond. This Specific Plan aligns with the objectives of the City’s General Plan, which prioritizes mixed-use development while promoting seamless public connectivity and optimal land use to accommodate future generations. Embracing this growth is advantageous as it enables a more efficient and sustainable utilization of space, enhancing the accessibility of amenities and services for residents while promoting economic vitality and community engagement. Furthermore, this Specific Plan aligns with the City’s General Plan Housing Element Goal H1: Provide opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the City’s existing and projected population (City of La Quinta, 2022). The proposed densification along the Highway 111 Corridor aims to offer enhanced and abundant housing options, including urban housing options, to accommodate an expanding population. This Specific Plan would repurpose areas that were formerly underutilized, such as parking lots and large-scale retail establishments, transforming them into vibrant residential spaces with pedestrian-friendly uses. By maximizing the potential of these previously inefficiently utilized areas, the Project not only addresses the pressing need for housing but also revitalizes the urban landscape, fostering a more dynamic and sustainable community environment. Development Strategy Areas The proposed Specific Plan establishes seven Development Strategy Areas (DSAs), which provide a vision for future land uses, development standards, and design guidelines as envisioned by the City. The seven DSAs, and their development focus, are provided in Table 1.1. Table 1.1.

Unlike traditional zoning codes, which focus mainly on dictating permitted land uses and activity levels, the Highway 111 Development Code concentrates on ensuring that buildings harmonize with their surroundings, allowing for a more diverse mix of activities within them. The Highway 111 Development Code seeks to integrate key land use and urban form objectives into adaptive development policies under the Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) Zone. These policies promote active frontages, where building facades engage with the street to create a vibrant pedestrian environment with visible goods, services, and activities. At the same time, the code emphasizes designing future development – whether new, infill, or replacement – to coexist harmoniously with existing auto-oriented uses along the Corridor, ensuring the continued presence of commercial activities like drive - thru establishments. Additionally, the code proposes a pedestrian-friendly block street network that supports mixed-use, townhomes, and retail developments, encouraging off-street paths and using roadways from signalized or roundabout intersections as access points and anchors for the block network. This approach ensures that new developments align with the desired character and vision of a neighborhood or community. Implementing the Highway 111 Development Code in the Highway 111 HMU Zone would enhance the community by offering clear guidelines that govern the visual aspects of development, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic and harmonious atmosphere while simplifying and expediting the development process. By focusing on the physical form and design of development, rather than simply regulating land use, the Highway 111 Development Code will support the creation of walkable, diverse neighborhoods that reflect the unique character and identity of each community. 1.5 Required Agency Approvals The City’s approval of the proposed Specific Plan would not require any permits or approvals by other public agencies. Actions subsequent to the Specific Plan that support implementation of the General Plan may require permits or approvals by other public agencies. The following permits and/or approvals will be conducted concurrently with the proposed Specific Plan: • City of La Quinta –Zone Change and Development Code Update (Zoning Ordinance Amendment). Future implementation of development proposed by the Specific Plan may require the following approvals: • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (applicable to fill within jurisdictional waterways and wetlands). • State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) – Construction General Permit and Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP, applicable to certain construction activities greater than one acre in disturbance). • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) – Biological Opinion or Letter of Concurrence, for Endangered Species Act consultation (applicable to activities that adversely affect federally listed species). • California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Encroachment Permit (applicable to activities that encroach within state highway facilities). • Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) – Development Services permits and approvals for domestic water connections and Encroachment Permits for work within CVWD Right-of-Way. 696 Project Information City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-8 1.6 Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program The Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program (MMRP) for this IS/MND is included in Appendix A. The MMRP includes a summary of all mitigation measures and description(s) of how each mitigation measure would be implemented to ensure all potential impacts associated with the Project or future development projects would result in a less than significant environmental impact. 1.7 Tribal Consultation CEQA requires that lead agencies determine whether a proposed Project would have a significant effect on tribal cultural resources. The CEQA Guidelines define tribal cultural resources as: (1) a site, feature, place, cultural landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native Ame rican Tribe that is listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or on a local register of historical resources as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k); or (2) a resource determined by the Lead Agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant according to the historical register criteria in PRC Section 5024.1(c), and considering the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe. Pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB 18), prior to the adoption or any amendment of a city or county’s general plan, proposed on or after March 1, 2005, the city or county shall conduct consultations with California Native American Tribes that are on the contact list maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of preserving or mitigating impacts to places, features, and objects described in Sections 5097.9 and 5097.995 of the Public Resources Code (PRC) that are located within the city or county’s jurisdiction. Similarly, pursuant to Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), the CEQA Lead Agency for any project for which a Notice of Preparation, Notice of Mitigated Negative Declaration, or Notice of Negative Declaration is filed on or after July 1, 2015, must provide notification to tribes that may be traditionally and culturally affiliated to the geographic area where the project is located. The City conducted concurrent SB 18 and AB 52 consultation. Seventeen Native American Tribes were contacted, pursuant to the list acquired from the NAHC, and PRC § 21080.3.1 and Chapter 532 Statutes of 2014 (i.e., AB 52), as part of preparing this environmental review document. Refer to Section 3.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for additional information. 697 Project Information City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 1-9 1.8 Project Figures Figure 1-1.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there would not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION would be prepared. I find that the proposed MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect: (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect: (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. _______________________________ ____________________ Cheri Flores, City of La Quinta Date 702 Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-1 3 Environmental Analysis 3.1 Aesthetics Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ✓ b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? ✓ c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public view of the site and its surroundings? (Public Views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? ✓ d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? ✓ Existing Aesthetic There are no adopted scenic vistas within the Project area. La Quinta is a desert resort city situated in Riverside County, California. Positioned between Indian Wells and Indio, California, it is one of the nine cities comprising the scenic Coachella Valley (CV), with vistas of the Little San Bernardino, Santa Rosa, and San Jacinto Mountains. Views of the Indio Hills and other scenic hilly regions are present from various locations within the City. The La Quinta General Plan land use designation for the Highway 111 Corridor is General Commercial (GC), and consists of a mix of retail stores, office spaces, restaurants, and service- oriented establishments (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Highway 111 Corridor contains a mix of zoning including Regional Commercial (CR), Community Commercial (CC), Commercial Park (CP) and Medium Density Residential (RM). While the construction of new buildings and structures within the City may potentially obstruct views of the surrounding natural landscape, the policies outlined in the Community Development, Land Use, Circulation, and Natural Resources sections of the City of La Quinta 2035 General Plan are designed to mitigate such impacts (City of La Quinta, 2022). These policies mandate that any future development carefully consider the preservation of scenic vistas and resources. By integrating these considerations, the City ensures that both growth and environmental stewardship are balanced, maintaining the aesthetic appeal and natural beauty of the area for future generations. This approach not only supports sustainable urban planning but also enhances the quality of life for all residents by preserving the visual access to nature amidst urban expansion. 703 Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-2 Furthermore, the implementation of the Highway 111 Development Code along the Highway 111 Corridor would prioritize the physical form of buildings and public spaces over strict land use categories. As previously described in Section 1.4, the Highway 111 Development Code is an aesthetic-focused approach to development and land use planning. By emphasizing the design, scale, and appearance of buildings within a specific area, the Highway 111 Development Code seeks to create cohesive and visually appealing communities that reflect the character and identity of the region. This approach will ensure that new construction along the Highway 111 Corridor aligns with the area's vision for growth and preserves its unique character. a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than Significant Impact: A scenic vista can be described as a picturesque scene of open space with little or no intrusions. The Project encompasses various enhancements to the public infrastructure in order to provide a more suitable environment for commercial enterprises to operate and serve the community, residential, and hotel space, as well as streetscape beautification and other improvements to public rights- of-way, sidewalks, and public open spaces. The Specific Plan outlines proposed urban design concepts that showcase the planned streetscape and community improvements within the Project area. The Project aims to improve the accessibility, function, and aesthetic of the Highway 111 Corridor, providing a lasting community benefit. A guiding principle of the City of La Quinta’s General Plan is that it remains a resort-oriented community, which ensures maintenance and improvements of opportunities for La Quinta to be recognized as a top resort and recreation destination (City of La Quinta, 2022). As a resort destination, aesthetics are key and would be ideally improved upon with this proposed Project. Should the Project utilize the Moderate scenario, impacts on public scenic views would be less than significant as the existing aesthetic and scenery along the Highway 111 Corridor contains solely mixed commercial use parcels. The corridor has limited land uses other than commercial (i.e., residential, office, and hotel) as well as improved pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. The Moderate Scenario would also utilize lower density development, thus reducing potential impacts on scenic resources. Should the Project utilize the Max Scenario, impacts on scenic vistas may be slightly more than the Moderate Scenario as it would consist of greater density development and increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Nonetheless, impacts to public views and the surrounding environment would be less than significant. Depending on the parcel/region of the Project area, the views of the Little San Bernardino, Santa Rosa, and San Jacinto mountains may differ. Views of these mountain ranges may be partially blocked/impeded by the new development along the corridor. The Municipal Code of the City includes standards for development to protect the aesthetic quality of the City, while providing reasonable opportunities for businesses and commercial development (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Project would comply with the City of La Quinta General Plan and Municipal Code as it relates to the surrounding aesthetic and sense of community. The Specific Plan aims to improve the look and feel of the Highway 111 Corridor by redeveloping big-box retail stores with a more livable and walkable multi-use community, as appropriate. In doing so, future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would better align with the principles of the City’s General Plan Open Space (OS) Goal OS-3: Preservation of scenic resources as vital contributors to the City’s economic health and overall quality of life (City of La Quinta, 2022). Although the redevelopment of the Highway 111 Corridor may result in changes to the current aesthetic of the region (e.g., big-box retail, large asphalt parking lots), impacts are anticipated to improve the function of the corridor and overall community quality of life. Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 704 Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-3 b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact: The proposed Project area is the Highway 111 Corridor, which spans from approximately the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street on the west end to Jefferson Street on the east. This section of Highway 111 is not designated or eligible as a scenic resource by the California State Scenic Highway System. According to Caltrans, the nearest eligible State Scenic Highway is 7.4 miles west of the Project area, along Highway 111 at the intersection of Monterey Avenue, Route 74, and Highway 111. From this point up until Interstate 10, Highway 111 is designated “Eligible” as a State Scenic Highway. Route 74 is an Officially Designated Scenic Highway in California. However, the proposed Project would not affect these Highways, or enter a State Scenic Highway, nor would it interfere with or substantially damage scenic resources or historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway. As such, no impacts to scenic resources are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public view of the site and its surroundings? (Public Views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? No Impact: The area surrounding Highway 111 relevant to the Specific Plan is already an urbanized environment. Proposed development scenarios do not conflict with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. In the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the Highway 111 Corridor is encouraged to become a mixed-use overlay district as defined in the City’s Municipal Code (City of La Quinta, 2024a). The purpose of a mixed-use (MU) area is to provide opportunities for multifamily residential development in combination with commercial and/or office development in a cohesive and integrated manner (City of La Quinta, 2024a). The Specific Plan would encourage and implement this and there is no conflict with applicable zoning and regulations governing scenic quality, therefore no impact. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Specific Plan area development is intended to transform the current landscape, dominated by big-box retail and expansive asphalt parking lots, into a vibrant, well- connected urban space. This is designed to optimize land use by incorporating a diverse mix of upgraded retail options and dining, moving away from the one-dimensional shopping experience currently offered. The proposed Specific Plan area development, while introducing new sources of daytime glare and nighttime illumination, is carefully designed to enhance views, rather than expand the amount of light pollution. This development strategy focuses on utilizing lighting technologies that are energy-efficient and/or designed to minimize unnecessary glare. Future development facilitated by the Specific Plan may include low-impact lighting fixtures and reflective surfaces that are designed to reduce brightness, which would enhance visual comfort and safety without contributing to light pollution. This approach ensures that lighting serves both functional and decorative purposes, enriching the City’s character at night and improving navigability and security for the community. 705 Environmental Analysis – Aesthetics City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-4 Furthermore, future development would adhere to the policies and regulations outlined in the General Plan as well as the City Municipal Code. Policy LU-2.3 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan states that the City’s outdoor lighting ordinance would be maintained. Section 9.100.150, Outdoor Lighting of the City’s Municipal Code, states that its purpose is to set the standards for allowing adequate energy efficient lighting for public safety while minimizing adverse effects (City of La Quinta, 2022). Complying with the designated policies would require that new light sources introduced along the Highway 111 Corridor be appropriately shielded and directed away from open viewing spaces. This ensures that day and nighttime views are not negatively impacted by the presence of these lights. By complying with these guidelines, the potential impacts associated with light and glare can be minimized to a level that is deemed insignificant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 706 Environmental Analysis – Agriculture and Forest Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-5 3.2 Agriculture and Forest Resources Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? ✓ b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? ✓ c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? ✓ d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? ✓ e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? ✓ The project area is situated within a highly urbanized section of the City, devoid of agricultural or forest activities. Given its urban character, the area was not included in the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program's surveys (California DOC, 2022). This section of the City comprises several zoning districts, all of which exclude agricultural or forestry operations. The area is largely categorized as Urban and Built-Up Land. Agricultural activities are not proposed as part of the Specific Plan development. a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact: The area covered by the proposed Specific Plan is considered Urban and Built-up Land according to the California Department of Conservation (DOC), Important Farmland Finder (California DOC, 2024b). Urban and Built-Up land refers to areas that are covered by structures and buildings with a relatively high concentration. This is typically defined as having a building density of at least one (1) unit per one and a half (1.5) acres of land, or approximately six (6) structures for every ten (10) acre parcel (California DOC, 2024b). Prime Farmland is located adjacent to the Project area in two locations: northwest of the West Gateway area; and southeast of the Dune Palms and Jefferson South area (California DOC, 2022). Proposed development under this Specific Plan would not enter these Prime Farmland areas and both the West Gateway and the Dune Palms and Jefferson South areas are separated from Prime Farmland by Washington Street at the northwest portion of the Project area and by Jefferson Street at the 707 Environmental Analysis – Agriculture and Forest Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-6 southeast, respectfully. Furthermore, designated land uses within the Project area do not include agricultural uses and the Project implementation would not result in conversion of existing farmland to non- agricultural uses. Therefore, the Project does not affect an agricultural resource area and thus does not impact designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact: As per the City of La Quinta Municipal Zoning Code, the Project area outlined in this Specific Plan is not zoned for agricultural uses (City of La Quinta, 2024a). Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with any lands zoned for agriculture uses. Additionally, the Project area is not under a Williamson Act Contract; therefore, no impacts to Williamson Act contract lands are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? No Impact: There are no anticipated changes to zoning of forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production under the proposed Specific Plan. No Impact would occur. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact: The area covered under the Specific Plan does not contain forest land resources. Therefore, development under the proposed Specific Plan would not result in the loss of forest land. No impact would occur. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact: The proposed developments outlined in the Specific Plan are designated to occur within the specified area along Highway 111, stretching from approximately Jefferson Street to Washington Street in La Quinta. These developments would not result in the conversion of any onsite or offsite farmland or forest land to non-agricultural or non-forest uses. As such, there would be no impact. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 708 Environmental Analysis – Air Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-7 3.3 Air Quality Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? ✓ b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? ✓ c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? ✓ d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? ✓ The Project area is located within the Coachella Valley planning area of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) and under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SSAB portion of Riverside County is currently designated as nonattainment for the federal and state ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM10. The Project area is designated as attainment or unclassified for all other federal and state ambient air quality standards. As described in Section 1, Project Information, the Project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. Therefore, growth parameters, such as population and vehicle activity, are consistent with the General Plan and have been previously analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR. The following General Plan Air Quality policies and programs are applicable to and would be implemented by project: • Policy AQ-1.3: Work to reduce emissions from mobile sources by encouraging a decrease in the number of vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled. − Program AQ-1.3.b: Encourage public and private schools to establish alternative transportation programs for students. − Program AQ-1.3.c: Adopt and implement a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance for businesses with 50 or more employees. − Program AQ-1.3.d: Expand routes for golf carts and other neighborhood electric vehicles and plan for access and recharging facilities at retail, recreational, and community centers. − Program AQ-1.3.e: Expand pedestrian and bicycle routes and provide safe and convenient access to retail, recreational, and community centers. − Program AQ-1.3.f: Facilitate mixed use development concepts in specific identified areas of the community to allow the combination of residential and non--‐residential uses, such as live--‐ work--‐shop designs, as described in the Land Use Element. − Program AQ-1.3.g: Where permitted by the Land Use plan, and where appropriate, encourage high density residential development within walking distance to commercial, educational and recreational opportunities. 709 Environmental Analysis – Air Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-8 • Policy AQ-1.4: Protect people and sites that are especially sensitive to airborne pollutants (sensitive receptors) from polluting point sources. − Program AQ-1.4.a: Uses such as manufacturing, auto body shops, and other point source polluters should be reasonably separated from sensitive receptors. • Policy AQ-1.5: Ensure all construction activities minimize emissions of all air quality pollutants. − Program AQ-1.5.a: All grading and ground disturbance activities shall adhere to established fugitive dust criteria. − Program AQ-1.5.b: Fugitive Dust Control Plans shall be reviewed and approved for development projects. • Policy AQ-1.6: Proposed development air quality emissions of criteria pollutants shall be analyzed under CEQA. The impact analysis in this section is based on understanding that the population and jobs growth anticipated under the Project is consistent with, and would not be in excess of, that anticipated by the City’s General Plan and as analyzed within the General Plan’s certified EIR. a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact: The SCAQMD has adopted multiple Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) to address state and federal ambient air quality standards. Current AQMPs include: • 2016 AQMP. The 2016 AQMP addresses the multiple ozone and PM2.5 standards. • 2022 AQMP. The 2022 AQMP is focused on attaining the 2015 8-hour ozone standard. • 2023 Coachella Valley PM10 State Implementation Plan. According to the SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the purpose of the consistency finding is to determine if a project is inconsistent with the assumptions and objectives of the regional air quality plans, and if it would interfere with the region’s ability to comply with federal and state Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). Growth assumptions within the AQMP are based on growth assumptions and land use designations included within local general plans. The SCAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Handbook contains the following two key indicators of consistency with the AQMP: 1. Whether the project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations or delay timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP. 2. If a project is consistent with the growth assumptions in the AQMP. The first criterion is assessed in Impact c) below. As demonstrated in the analysis for Impact c), the Project’s potential to expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant concentrations (i.e., generate pollutant concentrations that would exceed an air quality standard) would be reduced to less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1. Therefore, the project is consistent with the first criterion. Under the second criterion, the SCAQMD recommends that lead agencies demonstrate that a project would not directly obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan and that a project be consistent with the assumptions (typically land-use related, such as resultant employment or residential units) upon which the air quality plan is based. The project is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan, which was adopted in 2013, prior to the development of all the applicable AQMPs. The growth supported by development of the Project would be consistent with the applicable General Plan, and the current General Plan was adopted 710 Environmental Analysis – Air Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-9 prior to the current AQMP. Therefore, growth supported by the Project is accounted for in the AQMP. The project is less than significant under this criterion. As demonstrated above, the project would be consistent with both analysis criteria and, therefore, would not conflict with the applicable AQMPs. The project would result in no impact. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? No Impact: As described above, the SSAB portion of Riverside County is currently designated as nonattainment for the federal and state ambient air quality standards for ozone and PM10. The SCAQMD had adopted recommended air quality significance thresholds for project construction and operation; however, these thresholds are applicable to the project level. Plan-level documents, such as the proposed La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, where no specific development is identified or proposed and for which a construction schedule is not proposed, are not directly applicable to a plan-level action. The Project is consistent with the General Plan and the General Plan’s certified EIR. As described in Impact a) above, the growth assumptions in the General Plan are accounted for in the applicable AQMPs. The AQMPs demonstrate the path to attainment of the relevant air quality attainment standards. As the Project is consistent with the General Plan, and the General Plan growth assumptions are incorporated in and accounted for in the AQMPs, the growth that would occur within the Specific Plan area would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is nonattainment. This Specific Plan would provide a comprehensive development approach for Highway 111 focused on public connectivity, mixed-use development, and enhanced transportation options. This Specific Plan includes introduction of mixed-use development, integration of pedestrian-friendly pathways and dedicated bike lanes, and other improvements to connectivity and accessibility. The project impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Sensitive receptors are defined as facilities or land uses that include members of the population that are particularly sensitive to the effects of air pollutants, such as children, the elderly, and people with illnesses. Examples of these sensitive recept ors are residences, schools, hospitals, and daycare centers. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has identified the following groups of individuals as the most likely to be affected by air pollution : the elderly over 65, children under 14, athletes, and persons with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis. Sensitive receptors near the area include the residences north, east, south, and west of the Project. Amelia Earhart Elementary and John Glenn Middle School are adjacent to each other, about 1.5 miles north of the proposed Project area, while La Quinta High School is located north of the Project area along the Whitewater River. Additionally, James Madison Elementary School is located about 1.6 miles northeast of the Specific Plan area. 711 Environmental Analysis – Air Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-10 Localized Significance Thresholds Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards’ Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (I-4). The SCAQMD provided the Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology (dated June 2003 [revised 2008]) for guidance (SCAQMD, 2008). The LST methodology assists lead agencies in analyzing localized air quality impacts. The SCAQMD provides the LST screening lookup tables for one, two, and 5-acre sites for the following pollutants: CO, NOX, PM2.5, and PM10. The LST methodology and associated mass rates are not designed to evaluate localized impacts from mobile sources traveling over the roadways. The SCAQMD recommends that any project over 5 acres should perform air quality dispersion modeling to assess impacts to nearby sensitive receptors. The Project is located within Sensitive Receptor Area (SRA) 30, CV. The SCAQMD LST methodology provides two approaches for performing the LST analysis. For projects of 5 acres or less where emissions would occur, the SCAQMD has developed a series of look up tables that provide estimates of daily construction or operational emissions above which a project’s emissions are determined to have a significant air quality impact. These emission LSTs are provided for each combination of pollutants (CO, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5), SRA, size of the project emission area, and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. For projects where emissions occur over an area larger than 5 acres, the localized significance impacts for construction and operation emissions can be derived by either applying the LSTs for a 5-acre area, or by performing air dispersion modeling. Thus, the primary determinants for the LST assessment, therefore, are the SRA where the project is located, the size of the emission area, and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. The Specific Plan is a guidance-level document and does not include site-specific development plans. Mitigation Measure AIR-1 is proposed to reduce the potential impact of future development to less than significant. With implementation of Mitigation Measure AIR-1, future development supported by the Specific Plan would not generate a significant localized impact. Mitigation Measures: AIR-1. d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? No Impact: The SCAQMD recommends that odor impacts be addressed in a qualitative manner. Such an analysis shall determine whether the project would result in excessive nuisance odors, as defined under the California Code of Regulations and Section 41700 of the California Health and Safety Code and thus would constitute a public nuisance related to air quality. Land uses typically considered associated with odors include wastewater treatment facilities, waste - disposal facilities, or agricultural operations. The Specific Plan area would not contain land uses typically associated with emitting objectionable odors. Future development supported by the Project would involve the use of diesel construction equipment and diesel trucks during construction. However, the Project area has a predominance of commercial land uses and emissions from trucks are common throughout t he project vicinity. In addition, project-generated emissions would rapidly disperse in the atmosphere and would not be noticeable to the nearby public. Therefore, the project would not generate a significant odor impact during construction or operation. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 712 Environmental Analysis – Air Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-11 Air Quality Mitigation Measures • Mitigation Measure AIR-1: Localized Significance Assessment Prior to the issuance required discretionary permits, new development projects in the Specific Plan area, if subject to CEQA compliance, must demonstrate that the proposed development would either not exceed applicable the SCAQMD’s LST lookup tables or not exceed the respective ambient air quality thresholds for CO, NOX, and PM10 and PM2.5. 713 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-12 3.4 Biological Resources Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? ✓ b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? ✓ c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? ✓ d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? ✓ e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? ✓ f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? ✓ The potential for sensitive biological resources to occur (federally or state listed or state special status plants and wildlife, Sensitive Natural Communities (SNCs), and wetlands) were evaluated within the areas planned for development within the Project area, as well as a 100-foot buffer around the Project area for potential wildlife impacts. The Project area comprises seven DSAs, as outlined in Table 1.1 and Figure 1-2, which are planned to be developed with various focuses in mind and differ among each distinct area. The following information is based on the Biological Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum (Appendix B) that was prepared in support of the proposed La Quinta Highway 111 Specific Plan. The technical memorandum documents the results of a site visit conducted on February 4, 2023 that covered the Project area and the 100-foot buffer. The following information is also based on the results of two protocol-level floristic surveys that were conducted separately on April 26 through April 27, 2023, and October 24, 2023 in one area of the Project, encompassing a 15-acre parcel embedded within the ADN DSA (Figure 1-2), and documented in a separate Botanical Technical Memorandum (Appendix B). 714 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-13 The Project area with 100-foot wildlife buffer is located entirely within the City of La Quinta. Land cover is primarily classified as developed, interspersed with shrub/scrub (USGS, 2016). The 100-foot wildlife buffer extends into the Whitewater River Watershed. The Project area is bordered by the Whitewater River to the north and is bisected by Highway 111. The landscape surrounding the Project area is highly urbanized and developed, with high amounts of vehicular traffic. There are seven areas planned for development with various focuses ( Table 1.1; Figure 1-2). Depending on the parcel/region proposed for development within the Project area, there are two scenarios that are being assessed: a Moderate Scenario, which would utilize lower density development, and a Max Scenario, which would utilize higher density development. In all cases of potential impact, the “high” scenario would consist of increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic, which may result in slightly higher impacts to potential sensitive resources in those areas. The areas planned for development are surrounded by commercial businesses, residential areas, and roadways. A few areas planned for development within ADN, DJN, and DJS contain variable extents of natural habitat (Figure 1-2 through Figure 1-4). The DJS area contains only marginally suitable habitat features due to the limited extent of land and closer proximity to commercial buildings and roads. The other areas planned for development within WAN, ADS, and WAS have been graded or altered from their natural state and generally have less potential to support sensitive biological resources. Although the Project area is within a developed landscape, there are shrubs and dune habitat within select areas (WG, ADN, DJN, and DJS) that may support special status species and do support common species. Within the more natural areas, small mammal burrows were observed within the Project area, which can be used by other taxa such as birds and reptiles. The Project area and 100-foot wildlife buffer also supports common avian species protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (FGC). A brief summary of each area planned for development is included below, oriented from west to east, and north to south. 3.4.1 West Gateway The WG Development Area has minimal trees and shrubs, with limited vegetation overall. It includes Point Happy, an undeveloped elevated area (183 feet) bordered by Highway 111 to the south, Whitewater River to the north, and businesses and restaurants to the east and west. While special status species are not expected, nesting birds may be present. 3.4.2 Washington and Adams North The areas proposed for development within the WAN Development Area have no trees or shrubs present. They have limited vegetation within them and are surrounded by commercial businesses and concrete parking lots. Special status species are not expected to occur here. 3.4.3 Washington and Adams South The areas proposed for development within the WAS Development Area are clustered at the southern edge bordering Avenue 47. These areas consist of a movie theatre and paved parking lot bordered by a small margin of open space that has already been graded and has fences around it. There are trees along the edges of the areas proposed for development, and roads. Special status species are not expected to occur here, but nesting birds may occur. 3.4.4 Adams and Dune Palms North The area proposed for development within the ADN Development Area is a 15-acre parcel that contains natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as 715 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-14 nesting birds. Trees and shrubs are present. A separate report for this area has been prepared by GHD (Appendix B). The parcel is bordered by commercial development and concrete parking lots. 3.4.5 Adams and Dune Palms South The areas proposed for development within the ADS Development Area are clustered at the southwest corner and bordered by two major roads, with a discrete and disjointed area at the east edge within an already paved parking lot and also bordered by a major road. The areas proposed for development are already graded, and there are trees and shrubs present along the edges and roads, some or all planted. Special status species are not expected to occur here, but nesting birds may occur. 3.4.6 Dune Palms and Jefferson North The area proposed for development within the DJN Development Area is at the westernmost edge, and contains natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as nesting birds. 3.4.7 Dune Palms and Jefferson South The area proposed for development within the DJS Development Area is at the northern edge and bordered by Highway 111. This area is already paved on the east side. It contains marginal amounts of natural habitat features that may support sensitive species and does support common species as well as nesting birds. Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the protocol-level site visit of the ADN Development Area (Figure 1-2), and the reconnaissance-level site visit of the entire Project area, special status plants do not have potential to occur in areas of the Project that are proposed for development. No special status plants or SNCs were observed during surveys of the ADN Development Area or within the greater Project area. Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the reconnaissance-level site visit of the entire Project area, special status wildlife species have a potential to occur. The Project area is bordered to the north by the channelized Whitewater River. No flowing water and minimal moisture within the riverbed was observed. In addition, there is the Deep Canyon Stormwater Channel that bisects a small portion of the northwest corner of the Project area. No impacts to jurisdictional wetlands or waters, or SNCs, are expected. a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Special-status Plant Species Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The database scoping detailed in the botanical technical memorandum (Appendix B) produced a total of 66 plant species known to occur in the nine USGS quads within and surrounding the Project area. Based on species-specific habitat requirements and habitat availability within the Project area, three species were determined to have a low potential to occur, and seven to have a moderate potential to occur (Table 3.1) based on the results of database scoping. The majority of areas planned for development in the Project area are already developed and do not have potential for any special status plant species to occur. Three parcels in the Project area are undeveloped, retain natural habitat, and have potential for special status plants to occur: ADN, DJN, and DJS; however, 716 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-15 no special status plant species were observed during protocol -level surveys of the ADN Development Area in May and October of 2023, or in the reconnaissance survey of the entire Project area. Desert plant communities can be ephemeral in nature given the variable precipitation of any given year and species adaptations to this variability is resource availability. While the potential for sensitive plant species to be present in the undeveloped spaces of the Project area is generally low, the suitability of these sites to host sensitive species in subsequent years may change. With incorporation of Measure BIO-1 and BIO-2, the Project would have a less than significant impact on special status plant species. Special-status Wildlife Species Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The database scoping detailed in the biological resources technical memorandum (Appendix B) returned a total of 87 species (Table 3.2). The potential for sensitive wildlife species to occur was determined based on existing data and the reconnaissance level site visit (Appendix B). Special status species are federally and/or state listed, a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Species of Special Concern, CDFW Fully Protected, on the CDFW Special Animals List, or any combination of these. The majority of areas planned for development within the Project area (within WAN, WAS, and ADS Development Areas) are developed and do not have potential for any special status wildlife species to occur. However, common and urban adapted bird species protected by the FGC and MBTA may occur if structures are present, or nesting features (such as shrubs and trees) are present within or adjacent to the areas. Based on the reconnaissance-level site visit on February 4, 2023 and review of existing data, the ADN, DJN, and DJS areas within the Project area may provide suitable habitat for special status wildlife species and do support common species protected by the MBTA and FGC. However, habitat within DJS is less suitable than the other two areas. The areas within the WAN, WAS, and ADS may also support common and urban adapted bird species protected by the MBTA and FGC. Three areas planned for development within the Project area contain discrete areas that are undeveloped, retain natural habitat, and have potential for special status wildlife to occur, in addition to common bird species protected by the FGC and MBTA: ADN, DJN, and DJS, for which the following species may occur: • The Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel (Xerospermophilus tereticaudus chlorusa; CDFW Species of Special Concern) has a moderate potential to occur at all three Development Areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS). • The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia; CDFW Species of Special Concern) has a moderate potential to occur within ADN. • The Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma inornata; federally threatened and state endangered) is a reptile species with a moderate potential to occur within ADN Development Area. • Flat-tailed Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii; CDFW Species of Special Concern) is a reptile species with a moderate potential to occur within ADN and DJN. • Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket (Macrobaenetes valgum; CDFW Special Animals List) is an insect with a moderate potential to occur at ADN and DJN. • The Costa’s Hummingbird (Calypte costae; CDFW Special Animals List), Abert’s Towee (Pipilo aberti; CDFW Special Animals List), Cooper’s Hawk (Accipiter cooperii; CDWF Watch List), and Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus obscurus; CDFW Species of Special Concern) have a moderate potential to occur at all three Development Areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS). • The Black-tailed Gnatcatcher (Polioptila melanura; CDFW Watch List) has a moderate potential to occur at ADN and DJN. 717 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-16 • The Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel, Burrowing Owl, Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, and Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket are species covered by the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP). The Burrowing Owl is a covered species under the CVMSHCP but is afforded additional protections under FGC and the MBTA and would require additional minimization measures. According to the CVMSHCP, authorization of take for all species with a moderate potential to occur, except the six bird species, can be obtained through compliance with the CVMSHCP and the Local Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF) paid to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC, 2023). All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the Habitat Conservation Plan’s (HCP’s) jurisdiction (CVMSHCP, 2016). Assuming there would be compliance with the CVMSHCP and with incorporation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 through BIO-5, potential impact to the five species covered by the CVMSHCP would be less than significant. Based on existing habitat and available data, certain areas (ADN, DJN, and DJS) may support special status species and do support common species. Though, the area in DJS contains less suitable habitat and extent than the other two areas. The entire Project area may support migratory and nesting birds. With inclusion of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5 impacts to special status wildlife species, including native, migratory, and nesting birds not covered by the CVMSHCP, would be less than significant. The Project area does not overlap any federally designated critical habitat (USFWS , 2023a). No impact would result. With implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5 impacts to protected wildlife species would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5. b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: A query of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (CDFW, 2023a) returned multiple locations of Desert Fan Palm Oasis Woodland (Washingtonia filifera) SNC (G3, S3.2) in the nine quads surrounding the Project area; however, the nearest Desert Fan Palm Oasis to the Project area is over five miles to the northeast. No native fan palms are present in the Project area. The undeveloped portions of the Projec t area are vegetated by Creosote Bush Scrub (Larrea tridentata), a natural community that is not considered sensitive by CDFW (G5, S5). The Project would not impact any SNCs, as none are present. A small portion of DPJ Development Area is mapped as “stabilized shielded desert sand fields” per the CVMSHCP’s natural community characterization and mapping (CVCC, 2024); however, this area is not within a designated conservation area and, therefore, is not an identified priority area for conservation per Section 10.2.6 of the CVMSHCP (CVMSHCP, 2016). The Project would not impact natural communities identified for conservation as described in the CVMSHCP. The Whitewater River borders the northern edge of the Project area; however, the river has been channelized, and the banks are cemented at the upslope edge. There was no riparian vegetation observed along the length of the corridor within the Project area. This Specific Plan is not expected to affect riparian 718 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-17 habitat or other sensitive natural communities, as it is a planning-level document. However, future development in the Highway 111 corridor could potentially impact the flow or banks of the nearby Whitewater River. Consequently, future projects should incorporate Mitigation Measure BIO-6 to minimize potential impacts on the natural flow of streams or rivers. Mitigation Measures: BIO-6. c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact: No wetlands are documented in the Project area based on database searches (National Wetlands Inventory [NWI]) (USFWS, 2023b), and none were observed in the Project area at the time of surveys. The Whitewater River is along northern border of the Project area. The section of river adjacent to a majority of the Project area is classified as either a riverine intermittent streambed that is intermittently flooded or a riverine unknown perennial with unconsolidated bottom that is semi-permanently flooded (USFWS, 2023b). There is a small section of the Whitewater River that is within the Project area within the DJN Development Area, but the river is also channelized in this section, with steep, bare sl opes and intermittently ponded water (not flowing). The Project is not expected to have an impact on state or federally protected wetlands. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact: Wildlife corridors refer to established migration routes commonly used by resident and migratory species for passage from one geographic location to another. Maintaining the continuity of established wildlife corridors is important to: a) sustain species with specific foraging requirements, b) preserve a species’ distribution potential, and c) retain diversity among many wildlife populations. The Project is approximately seven miles from the nearest “essential connectivity area” and one mile from a “natural landscape block” and “small natural landscape area” identified by the California Habitat Connectivity Project (CDFW, 2023c). The Project area is surrounded by existing development, Highway 111, and the highly modified Whitewater River. Habitat in the Project area is highly fragmented. No new barriers to terrestrial wildlife movement would result from the Project, and the Project would not substantially interfere with migratory birds, bats, or other species. Due to the level of development existing surrounding the Project area, there would be no impact to the habitat access, connectivity, or migratory corridors of wildlife species. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Highway 111 Specific Plan does not include any site-specific designs or proposals, nor does it grant any entitlements for development that would have the potential to conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. The City of La Quinta 2035 General 719 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-18 Plan (City of La Quinta, 2022) addresses natural resources within the City limits through its Biological Resources Element. The goals, policies, and programs within this Element address the preservation of valuable habitat and species which occur in the City and align with federal, st ate, and regional efforts toward preservation. The City does not have an adopted tree ordinance. Future development proposed to implement the Specific Plan would be required to comply with all applicable policies included in the General Plan. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs) are site-specific plans to address effects on sensitive species of plants and animals. The Project area is within the CVMSHCP (CVMSHCP, 2016), which is an HCP and NCCP implemented by the CVCC (CDFW, 2023b; CVCC, 2023). The City of La Quinta has been a participant in the CVMSHCP since 1996. If the project qualifies, the signatories to the CVMSHCP are able to obtain coverage for incidental take for the 21 wildlife and plant species that the CVMSHCP covers (CVCC, 2023). The proposed Project area is urbanized and highly developed and is not located within any CVMSHCP identified Conservation Areas; however, the westernmost extent of the Project area is less than one mile east of a portion of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area boundary (CVCC, 2024). The plant species covered by the CVMSHP include the Coachella Valley milkvetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae), triple-ribbed milkvetch (Astragalus tricarinatus), Little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus maculatus), Mecca aster (Xylorhiza cognata), and Orocopia sage (Salvia greatae). None of these species have potential to occur in the Project area due to a lack of suitable habitat or a suitable elevational range. Wildlife species covered by the CVMSHCP that have a moderate potential to occur include Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel, Burrowing Owl, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, Coachella Valley Fringe-tailed Lizard, and the Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket (CDFW, 2023b). With implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-7, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP/NCCP and, therefore, would have a less than significant impact. Mitigation Measures: BIO-7. Biological Resources Mitigation Measures • BIO-1: Assessment of Biological Resources and Worker Environmental Awareness Training Prior to Project construction activities for all projects covered in this IS/MND, a complete and recent inventory of rare, threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species located within the Project footprint and within offsite areas with the potential to be affected, including California Species of Special Concern and California Fully Protected Species (Fish and Game Code § 3511), will be completed. Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the 720 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-19 sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species -specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during periods of drought. An environmental training program should be developed and presented by a qualified biologist to all crew members prior to the beginning of all Project construction in natural areas planned for development. The training should describe special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive habitats that could occur within the Project area, protection afforded to these species and habitats, and avoidance and minimization measures required to avoid and/or minimize impacts from the project. All new construction personnel should receive this training before beginning work on this Project. A copy of the training and training materials should be provided to construction crews for review and approval at least 30 days prior to the start of construction. As needed, in-field training should be provided to new on-site construction personnel by the qualified biologist or a qualified individual who should be identified by the qualified biologist, or initial training should be recorded and replayed for new personnel. • BIO-2: General Measures for Plants and Wildlife When working in the natural habitat areas, the number of access routes, number and size of staging areas, and the total area of the activity should be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the project goal. Routes and boundaries outside of normal acc ess roads should be clearly delineated through fencing or flagging. Food, trash, and other solid wastes should be disposed of in Common Raven proof/wildlife proof, covered refuse containers and regularly removed from the various structures and facilities on a daily basis to avoid offsite dispersal of waste and to avoid attracting wildlife onto the Project site. Following covered activity work, all trash and debris should be removed from the work area. Construction work should avoid direct destruction of burrows through chaining (dragging a heavy chain over an area to remove shrubs), disking, cultivation, and urban, industrial, or agricultural development. Project-related excavations greater than 6 inches deep should be secured to prevent wildlife entry and entrapment. Holes and trenches should be back-filled, securely covered, or fenced. Excavations that cannot be fully secured should incorporate appropriate wildlife ramp(s) at a slope of no more than a 3:1 ratio (horizontal: vertical, equivalent to a 33.3 percent or 18.4-degree slope), or other means to allow trapped animals to escape. Personnel on site should be required to check under their vehicles for sensitive species prior to moving them and should exercise caution while driving on the Project site. Before moving, burying, or capping, inspect for wildlife in any construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures that are stored on the site for one or more nights. Alternatively, cap structures before storing on the work site. 721 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-20 • BIO-3: Special Status and Migratory Birds Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct and or indirect effects to protected nesting birds. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 100 feet for passerines and 300 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored at least once a week or as needed by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. • BIO-4: Burrowing Owl Habitat Assessment and Focused and Pre-Construction Surveys No less than 60 days prior to the start of Project-related activities for all projects covered in the MND, a burrowing owl habitat assessment shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the specifications of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Department of Fish and Game, March 2012 or most recent version) for all projects covered under the MND. If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate California Endangered Species Act (CESA) authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist 722 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-21 shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. • BIO-5: Artificial Light Impacts Throughout construction and the lifetime operation of all projects covered in the IS/MND the City and Project proponents shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/). The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler. • BIO-6: CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Program Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the Project Sponsor shall obtain written correspondence from CDFW stating that notification under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code is not required for the Project, or the Project Sponsor should obtain a CDFW-executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, authorizing impacts to Fish and Game Code Section 1602 resources associated with the Project. • BIO-7: Project Adherence to the CVMSHCP All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the HCP’s jurisdiction (CVMSHCP, 2016). The Project is outside of a designated Conservation Area, and a Joint Review Project is not required. However, the LDMF to the CVCC is required for development projects. Submission of the LDMF to the CVCC is recommended before building or grading permits are submitted. Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit for all projects covered in the IS/MND, the City shall ensure compliance with the CVMSHCP and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities, for all project areas covered in the IS/MND that contain suitable habitat for sand-dependent Covered Species, the City will collaborate with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission to plan and implement a salvage of sand - dependent Covered Species within the Project site. 723 Environmental Analysis – Biological Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-22 Table 3.1.

Status Abbreviations: Other Statuses (other federal or state listings may include): CDFW FP (CDFW Fully Protected Animal): “This classification was the State of California's initial effort to identify and provide additional protection to those animals that were rare or faced possible extinction. Lists were created for fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Most of the species on these lists have subsequently been listed under the state and/or federal endangered species acts.” (CDFW, 2023a); CDFW SSC (CDFW Species of Special Concern): “It is the goal and responsibility of the Department of Fish and Wildlife to maintain viable populations of all native species. To this end, the Department has designated certain vertebrate species as ‘Species of Special Concern’ because declining population levels, limited ranges, and/or continuing threats have made them vulnerable to extinction. The goal of designating species as ‘Species of Special Concern’ is to halt or reverse their decline by calling attention to their plight and addressing the issues of concern early enough to secure their long-term viability” (CDFW, 2023a); CDFW WL (CDFW Watch List): “The CDFW maintains a list consisting of taxa that were previously designated as "Species of Special Concern" but no longer merit that status, or which do not yet meet SSC criteria, but for which there is concern and a need for additional information to clarify status” (CDFW, 2023a).

Achieving City status on May 1, 1982, La Quinta has witnessed continuous development, particularly along the Highway 111 Corridor, fueled by a steadily increasing population that peaks during the winter season (City of La Quinta, 2024b). La Quinta is within the ancestral lands of the Desert Cahuilla Indians, who have resided in the Coachella Valley since immemorial, including areas such as the Martinez Canyon area of the CV and what is known today as Point Happy. The Desert Cahuilla Indians were hunter and gatherers and one of the few Native American Tribes to dig wells. The area held significant importance for the Cahuilla people due to its role as a vital access point to water sources, including the Whitewater River. Notably, within a distance of less than 300 yards from Point Happy, a well was excavated. This well later lent its name to the present-day City of Indian Wells (City of La Quinta, 2024b; SCTCA, 2024). For centuries, the Cahuilla people were the sole inhabitants of the CV, maintaining a permanent presence. It wasn't until the early 19th century that Europeans started journeying through the valley. Spanish, and later Mexican explorers, soldiers, and missionaries arrived with the sole aim of swiftly crossing the challenging desert terrain (La Quinta Historical Society, 2017). Record Search This analysis is based on a cultural records investigation conducted at the California Historical Resources Inventory System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) located at the University of California, Riverside. The examination of records took place on January 22, 2024, e ncompassing a review of maps, records, and reports from the EIC pertaining to the Project area. The assessment involved a review of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1959 La Quinta 7.5 minute series quadrangle map, 1941 Toro Peak 15 minutes series, and 1959 Palm Desert 15 minute series topographic map to assess the Project site. In addition, the California Points of Historical Interest, California Historical Landmarks, California Register of Historic Places, National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California State Historic Resources Inventory, and historic topographic maps were reviewed. The findings revealed that there have been 92 studies on cultural resources conducted within the approximately 410 acres of the proposed Project area. A total of 56 cultural resource properties are documented within the Project area boundaries. According to the NRHP, there are no listed properties located within the bounds of the Project area. Per results from the California Office of Historic 753 Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-52 Preservation’s (OHP’s) Archaeological Resources Directory (ARD), there is one property that is listed as considered eligible for listing on the NRHP (P-33-001178 [CA-RIV-001178] La Quinta Evac. CH. AD). According to the CHRIS records search, California OHP Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) indicates that two properties are listed as historically significant by local government (P-33-007263, PT. Happy Ranch and P-33-023955, PT. Happy Ranch) located at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. The term “Happy Ranch” is in reference to Point Happy, which is described above. The West Gateway area includes Point Happy, which is an undeveloped elevated area (183 feet in elevation) bordered by Highway 111 to the south, Whitewater River to the north, and restaurants and businesses to the east and west. Point Happy is linked to nearby culturally and historically significant resources. Any forthcoming development within the West Gateway area should consider Point Happy. It is advisable to consult a cultural resources expert before engaging in any ground-disturbing activities near this site. A previous study identified two prehistoric resources (P-33-008692/CA-RIV-006190, P-33-002936/CA-RIV- 002936) within the Project area, near the intersection of Dune Palms Road and Highway 111. P-33- 008692/CA-RIV-006190 consists of a 230 meter (east/west) by 170 meter (north/south) prehistoric-era resource with the three large and three small loci comprised of ceramics, burned bone, lithic debitage, burned clay, and fire-affected rock. P-33-002936/CA-RIV-002936 consists of a 150 meter (north/south) by 60 meter (east/west) prehistoric-era resource comprised of ceramics, fire-affected rock, semi-fired clay, animal bone, and shell fragments (Hallock et al., 2023). Given the extensive amount of documented cultural resources within the Project area, it is conceivable that yet-to-be-discovered cultural resources exist. However, it is important to note that the densely developed environment and established infrastructure of the Project area may mitigate the probability of encountering such unrecorded cultural resources. Since this Specific Plan serves as a guide for future development along the corridor, forthcoming development endeavors within the Project area should undergo thorough assessment by a cultural resource expert to evaluate any historical, archaeological, or cultural heritage resources that have not been recorded and to offer suggestions regarding their importance and appropriate management before any ground-disturbing activities commence. Individuals engaged in future development along the Highway 111 Corridor are urged to recognize and respect the significance and irreplaceable value of cultural resources. For assistance, a comprehensive list of cultural resource consultants statewide can be accessed online at http://chrisinfo.org. Refer to Appendix C: Cultural Resources for the non-confidential cultural records search report. Sacred Lands File Search The following analysis is based on a Sacred Lands File (SLF) record search by the NAHC received on March 8, 2024. The results of the search were negative, meaning that no specific site information was found in the SLF search. However, it is important to note that the absence of such information in the SLF does not necessarily indicate the absence of cultural resources within the Project area. The letter from NAHC along with a list of Native American Tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources in the Project area is provided in Appendix C: Cultural Resources. a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: A non-confidential CHRIS records request was conducted by EIC to determine the presence of culturally and historically significant resources within and near the Project area. According to the report (Appendix C: Cultural Resources), there have been 92 studies on cultural resources and there are 56 cultural resource properties documented in the Highway 111 754 Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-53 Corridor. Two historically significant properties were identified in the CHRIS records search, both being Point Happy Ranch, which is located at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. Although this is within the Project limits, potential impacts to historic resources would be mitigated through the implementation of Cultural Resource mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9. The designated Project site was not identified as Sacred Land based on the examination conducted by NAHC. However, as acknowledged previously, the absence of specific information about cultural resources in the SLF does not necessarily imply the absence of such resources in the Project area. Before development activities commence, it is necessary for a cultural resource expert to conduct a survey to ascertain the existence or non-existence of culturally significant resources. Additionally, it is important to coordinate with local Native American Tribes in the vicinity. Employing cultural resource mitigation measures (CR-1 through CR-9) would aid in minimizing potential impacts on significant cultural and historical resources that might be found within or close to the Project boundaries. Furthermore, the Highway 111 Corridor is not designated on the NRHP, and it is advisable to conduct a cultural resource study before initiating any development activities within the Project area . In the event that archaeological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, the construction contractor would implement mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9. The use of appropriate mitigation efforts would help reduce potential impacts on historic and cultural resources to a less then significant level. Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9. b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Results from the non-confidential CHRIS records request demonstrate that there are no recorded archaeological resources within the Project area. This Specific Plan is a regulatory and policy document with the intention to guide development along the Highway 111 Corridor. No development is proposed as part of this Specific Plan and, therefore, the Project would not impact any unknown archaeological resources. This Specific Plan enables future projects to use this impact analysis for environmental assessments. Although this programmatic CEQA analysis offers a general overview, it may not cover all specific project impacts. Future developments may require site - specific archaeological surveys and reports to assess and mitigate impacts on significant archaeological resources, as outlined in mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9. Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9. c) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The Project area consists of previously developed land; thus it is unlikely for human remains to be exposed during any future construction activities. Nonetheless, future development and ground excavations would be closely monitored to ensure the identification of any previously undiscovered remains. Given that the proposed Specific Plan serves as a regulatory and policy document with no current development plans, there is no immediate impact on any unidentified human remains within the Project area. However, if such remains are encountered during future development, implementation of mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9 would provide appropriate instruction on the treatment of any human remains discovered during construction to reduce potential impacts to cultural and historic resources. Mitigation Measures: CR-1 through CR-9. 755 Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-54 Cultural Resources Mitigation Measures Implementation of mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9 would reduce potential impacts to a less-than- significant level during future construction activities. Appropriate pre-construction training and a data recovery plan (if needed) would be implemented to address potential discovery of unanticipated archaeological resources and to preserve and/or record those resources consistent with appropriate laws and requirements. Proposed mitigation measures for future development are outlined below. • CR-1: Workers Environmental Awareness Program A Qualified Archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS, 1983) shall conduct Workers Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training on archaeological sensitivity for all construction personnel prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find. The WEAP training document shall include materials that convey the information noted above, which shall be maintained in an area accessible to all construction personnel so that it may be reviewed regularly by construction staff. • CR-2: Pre-Excavation Agreement Prior to the issuance of Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner shall enter into a pre -excavation agreement, otherwise known as a Tribal Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement with consulting Tribal Monitor associated within the area. A copy of the agreement shall be included in building and development plans and permit applications with the City. The purpose of this agreement shall be to formalize protocols and procedures between the Applicant/Owner and the consulting Tribal Monitor associated with the area for the protection and treatment of, including but not limited to, Native American human remains, funerary objects, cultural and religious landscapes, ceremonial items, and traditional gathering areas and tribal cultural resources located and/or discovered through a monitoring program in conjunction with the construction of the proposed project, including additional archaeological surveys and/or studies, excavations, geotechnical investigations, grading, and all other ground disturbing activities. At the discretion of the consulting Tribal Monitor, artifacts may be made available for 3D scanning/printing, with scanned/printed materials to be curated at a local repository meeting the federal standards of 36CFR79. • CR-3: Retention of Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor shall provide executed contracts or agreements with a Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor, at the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor’s expense, to implement the monitoring program, as described in the pre-excavation agreement. • CR-4: Tribal Cultural Monitor Coordination During Ground Disturbing Activities The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall attend all applicable pre-construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. 756 Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-55 • CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure To detect important archaeological artifacts and cultural resources during monitoring, a "Controlled Grade Procedure" must be created by a Qualified Archaeologist. This will be done in consultation with the consulting Tribal Monitor, relevant consulting Tribes, and the Applicant/Owner, and needs approval from City representatives. The procedure will set guidelines for machinery work in sensitive areas identified during cultural resource monitoring. It will cover aspects like operating speed, removal increments, weight, and equipment features. A copy of this procedure must be included in the Grading Plan submissions for Grading Permits. • CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor can stop ground-disturbing activities if undiscovered tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor can assess the context of the find, including its significance, potential eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and whether the project would have a direct impact on the resource. If buried cultural deposits are encountered, the Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a Qualified Archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation. Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site. Minor finds include archaeological materials that are isolated, lack context, and are unlikely to indicate a larger or significant site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially significant, the involved Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well. For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal values. The Tribal Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not collect the resources, the Tribal Monitor may do so. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. • CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources unearthed during all ground disturbing activities, and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on-site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial and/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation. • CR-8: Tribal Cultural Monitoring Report A monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the archaeological monitoring program (e.g., data recovery plan) shall be submitted by the Qualified Archaeologist, along with the consulting Tribal Monitor’s notes and comments, to the City of La Quinta Planning Division for approval. 757 Environmental Analysis – Cultural Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-56 • CR-9: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains As specified by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found on the Project site during construction or during archaeological work, the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately notify the Riverside County Coroner’s Office by telephone. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the Coroner Medical Examiner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code 5097.98. If such a discovery occurs, a temporary construction exclusion zone shall be established surrounding the area of the discovery so that the area would be protected, and consultation and treatment could occur as prescribed by law. If suspected Native American remains are discovered, the remains shall be kept in-situ, or in a secure location in close proximity to where they were found, and the analysis of the remains shall only occur on-site in the presence of a Tribal Monitor. By law, the Coroner Medical Examiner shall determine within two working days of being notified if the remains are subject to his or her authority. If the Coroner Medical Examiner identifies the remains to be of Native American ancestry, he or she shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The NAHC sha ll make a determination as to the Most Likely Descendent. If human remains are discovered, notify the consulting Tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. 758 Environmental Analysis – Energy Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-57 3.6 Energy Resources Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Result in potentially significant environmental impacts 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? ✓ Electricity in the City is provided by the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), which provides power to eastern CV and Imperial County. IID derives over 60% of its power from various facilities, notably the Coachella Gas Turbine facility in Coachella. Its transmission network encompasses the innovative Green Path system, transmitting geothermal energy harnessed in Imperial County. Diversifying its portfolio, IID is committed to achieving a minimum of 45% of its electricity from alternative sources like geothermal, solar, and wind energy by 2027 (City of La Quinta, 2022; IID, 2024). a) Result in potentially significant environmental impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant: Future enhancements along the Highway 111 Corridor would prioritize efficient energy use and resource consumption. The proposed improvements under the Specific Plan would necessitate collaboration with IID to assess their capacity to support and sustain future developments in the corridor. Potential future developments along Highway 111 have the potential to increase the electrical demands on IID's systems. Developers planning future projects would need to apply for electrical service with IID, which would conduct evaluations of project design engineering and estimate costs associated with potential increases in energy demand. Information required by IID includes detailed loading and panel size specifications to assist in determining the requirements for supplying permanent power to improvements within the Specific Plan area. Additionally, all development activities within the Specific Plan area must undergo review and approval by the City, adhering to applicable local, state, and feder al laws as well as aligning with the City’s General Plan and this Specific Plan. Given that this Specific Plan serves as a high- level guide for the redevelopment of the Highway 111 Corridor, no site-specific electrical development plans or proposals are included or granted within it. Consequently, impacts on critical energy resources are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? No Impact: Senate Bill 100 (SB 100), passed in September 2018, aims to speed up the State's Renewable Portfolio Standards Program. This involves directing electricity providers to increase their sourcing from eligible renewable energy sources to 100 percent of their total retail sales by 2045. The proposed project intends to use the current IID electricity grid. All construction facilitated by the proposed Project must adhere to Title 24 standards and current building codes. Importantly, the Project aligns with the state plan for renewable energy and does not pose any new impacts beyond what was anticipated and evaluated 759 Environmental Analysis – Energy Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-58 under the Specific Plan. The Energy Element and Mineral Resource Element of the General Plan highlight two policies along with their corresponding programs related to sustainable energy use, as detailed below (City of La Quinta, 2022): • Policy EM 1.1: Strongly encourages conservation of energy resources. − Program EM 1.1a: Review and amend, as appropriate, Zoning Ordinance procedures and standards to include site orientation, solar control and use of passive heating and cooling techniques. • Policy EM 1.2: Supports the use of alternative energy and the conversion of traditional energy sources to alternative energy. − Program EM1.2a: Encourage installation of alternative energy devices on new and existing development. Programs may include City-funded incentive programs; matching fund programs with IID, The Gas Company and alternative energy providers, as well as other programs as they become available. − Program EM1.2b: As funding and applicability allows, incorporate Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), hybrid or electric vehicles into the City fleet as vehicles are replaced, with a target to complete the conversion by 2035. − Program EM1.2c: Continue participation in the Sunline Transit Agency, and promote the use of alternative fuel technologies for its buses. − Program EM1.2d: As appropriate, incorporate LED or other energy-efficient lighting in signals and lights throughout the City. − Program EM1.2e: Explore opportunities to provide a CNG and other alternate fueling station in the City. − Program EM1.2f: Implement, as appropriate, energy efficient improvements in City buildings and facilities using Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant or similar funds. The proposed Specific Plan would align with the energy policies outlined in the City’s General Plan by promoting sustainable and energy-efficient development along the Highway 111 Corridor. This approach would facilitate better planning and adaptability for the corridor as development advances and the population expands. As such, no impacts are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 760 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-59 3.7 Geology and Soils Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42? ✓ ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? ✓ iii. Seismic related ground failure, including liquefaction? ✓ iv. Landslides? ✓ b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? ✓ c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on, or off, site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? ✓ d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? ✓ e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? ✓ f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? ✓ Geologic Setting The natural landscape of the City exhibits significant variation, with elevations ranging from 130 feet below sea level to over 1,700 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Predominantly situated in a valley, the City experiences hot, arid summers and relatively mild winters. This climate influences the composition of soils. La Quinta contains predominantly sandy, well-drained soils, with rocky terrain prevalent in the Santa Rosa foothills. Soil composition in the Project area is mainly characterized by fine sandy loam with alluvial sand and gravel of the Whitewater River at the northeastern portions of the project area and a mix of alluvial sand and clay and wind-laid dune sand throughout the rest of the Project area (City of La Quinta, 2022; USDA, 2024). 761 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-60 The Project site is not within any of the State of California designated Alquist -Priolo Earthquake Fault Rupture Zones (California DOC, 2024a). Nevertheless, the region is susceptible to seismic activity due to the presence of active faults nearby. Notably, the historically active San Andreas Fault lies approximately 5 miles northwest of the City, while the San Jacinto Fault is situated about 17 miles southwest (City of La Quinta, 2002). In 1972, California implemented the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act to reduce the risk of fault rupture. This law prohibits building structures intended for human use over the trace of an active fault. The Project area is subject to strong seismic activities and is situated within Zone 4, the most intense seismic shaking zone (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations). Strong ground shaking has the potential to cause hazards including landslides, liquefaction, and structural damage, although liquefaction is not considered a hazard to development at the Project site, mainly due to the significant depth of groundwater. Zone 4 jurisdictions are responsible for diligently identifying any structures that could potentially pose hazards or fall below standard safety requirements. Subsequently, they are obligated to develop and execute thorough mitigation programs aimed at reducing the risks associated with such structures, and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents and infrastructure within their jurisdiction (City of La Quinta, 2002; 2022). The following policies outlined in the City's General Plan would ensure that the impacts of seismic hazards are carefully considered and mitigated alongside future development efforts: • Policy GEO-1.1: The City shall maintain and periodically update an information database and maps that identify local and regional geologic and seismic conditions. − Program GEO-1.1a: The City shall periodically confer with the California Division of Mines and Geology, Riverside County, neighboring communities, and other appropriate agencies to improve and routinely update the database. • Policy GEO-1.2: The City shall continue to require that development in areas subject to rockfall, landslide, liquefaction and/or other geotechnical hazards described in this Element, prepare detailed geotechnical analyses that include mitigation measures intended to reduce potential hazards to less than significant levels. • Policy GEO-1.3: The City shall require that development in areas subject to collapsible or expansive soils conduct soil sampling and laboratory testing and implement mitigation measures that minimize such hazards. − Program GEO-1.3a: The Building and Safety Department shall review and determine the adequacy of soils and/or other geotechnical studies conducted for proposed projects and enforce the implementation of mitigation measures. • Policy GEO-1.4: The City shall require that all new structures be built in accordance with the latest adopted version of the Building Code. • Policy GEO-1.5: The City shall continue to require that structures that pose a safety threat due to inadequate seismic design are retrofitted or removed from use, according to law. • Policy GEO-1.6: The City shall coordinate and cooperate with public and quasi-public agencies to ensure that major utilities continue to be functional in the event of a major earthquake. − Program GEO-1.6.a: The City shall maintain working relationships and strategies between the Public Works Department, utility providers, and other appropriate agencies to strengthen or relocate utility facilities and take other appropriate measures to safeguard major utility distribution systems. 762 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-61 a.i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. No Impact: There are no Alquist-Priolo zoned faults in the City (City of La Quinta, 2022). The prospect of future development in the proposed Project area carries a seismic risk given its proximity to the San Andreas Fault, a well-known and active fault line, as outlined in the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map (State of California, 2022). The San Andreas Fault, positioned approximately 5 miles north of the City, represents a significant geological feature considered the “master fault” in southern California. Additionally, the region is influenced by the San Jacinto Fault Zone approximately 17 miles to the southwest of the Project area, the Burnt Mountain Fault roughly 15 miles north of the City, and the Indio Hills Fault situated approximately 2 miles east of the San Andreas Fault. These faults collectively shape the seismic characteristics of the area. As seismic events can lead to ground shaking, displacement, and other hazards, thorough consideration of these geological factors is crucial for informed decision-making in land- use planning and construction practices. Adherence to the City’s General Plan and seismic building codes are imperative to enhance the resilience and safety of any future infrastructure projects . As such, rupture of known earthquake faults in the area are not expected to generate substantial adverse effects to future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. No impacts are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. a.ii) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact: The Project is situated within a seismically active area close to several seismic sources capable of generating moderate to strong ground shaking. Given the proximity of the San Andreas Fault and other significant active faults (San Jacinto Fault Zone, Burnt Mountain Fault, and Indio Hills fault), as well as other active faults within California, the Project area could experience strong ground shaking during future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. Shaking intensity could range from moderate to strong and would be expected to result in moderate to extensive damage, especially to buildings that are older or poorly constructed. The Project area is anticipated to encounter moderate to intense earthquakes throughout its design lifespan. Nevertheless, the Project would be engineered to meet the highest mandated standards, ensuring resilience against potential seismic activity as per the most recent specifications from the State of California Building Code and Department of Transportation. Furthermore, the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) outlines the specific risks linked to earthquakes and outlines measures for mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery in case of seismic activity within the City. By addressing both natural and man-made hazards, the LHMP aims to reduce La Quinta's susceptibility and underscores the City's dedication to safeguarding residents, property, and critical infrastructure (City of La Quinta, 2023). Moreover, the City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) details the coordinated responses to various emergencies, encompassing natural disasters, technological incidents, and national security threats that could impact the City. The EOP establishes protocols aligned with the California Standardized Emergency Management System and designates evacuation routes for different scenarios (City of La Quinta, 2010). Following and executing these plans would safeguard and direct development along the Highway 111 Corridor, averting negative consequences for the community and City infrastructure in future development initiatives. Project-related impacts associated with seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 763 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-62 a.iii) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact: Liquefaction occurs when ground shaking of relatively long duration and intensity over 0.2 g occurs in areas of loose, unconsolidated soils with relatively shallow groundwater depths (50 feet or less). The sudden increase in water pressure in pores between soil grains may substantially decrease soil shear strength. This creates a condition where soil takes on the qualities of a liquid or a semi-viscous substance. Liquefaction can result in ground settlement, ground undulation, lateral spreading or displacement, and flow failures. Structures may sink or tilt as bearing capacity decreases, causing substantial damage (City of La Quinta, 2022). The City’s General Seismic Hazard Map shows that the Project area is not considered to be in a moderate or high Liquefaction Susceptibility area. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. a.iv) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides? Less Than Significant Impact: Landslides and rockfall can occur when unstable slope conditions are worsened by strong ground motion caused by seismic events. Conditions that lead to landslide vulnerability include high seismic potential; rapid uplift and erosion that creates steep slopes and deeply incised canyons; folded and highly fractured rock; and rock with silt or clay layers that are inherently weak. Rockfall and rockslides are also common on very steep slopes. Landslides have been recorded after periods of heavy rainfall, and rockfall has been associated with slope failure during drier periods (City of La Quinta, 2022). The City’s General Seismic Hazard Map shows that the Project Area is not an Earthquake Induced Instability Area of Concern. Although the Project area is primarily flat, northwest of the Project area is susceptible to rock falls. Nonetheless, by adhering to the City’s General Plan and standards of the LHMP, impacts involving the risk of landslides are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact: The Specific Plan does not encompass existing development proposals, nor does it provide entitlements for development. While the Specific Plan itself would not cause soil erosion, activities such as land clearing, grading or excavations, and future development could potentially lead to soil erosion. Future construction activities, including cut, fill, removal of vegetation, and operation of heavy machinery would disturb soil and, therefore, have the potential to cause erosion. State law mandates that new development projects must comply with the statewide General Construction Permit (CGP) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). This program oversees discharges from construction activities and monitors stormwater quality in municipal systems. Projects must submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as part of their permit application. Additionally, according to the City’s General Plan, the Project area has a very high wind erodibility rating caused by strong winds in the CV. As such, any future development activities within the Highway 111 Corridor should be performed in compliance with the BMPs prescribed in the City’s Municipal Code and General Plan, including Policies GEO-1.1 through GEO-1.6a, as referenced above (City of La Quinta, 2021; 2022). Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 764 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-63 c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on, or off, site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? Less Than Significant Impact: According to the City’s General Plan, the proposed Project Area consists of three different geological units. Directly to the north of Highway 111 in the Project area, the soil consists of alluvial sand and clay and just north that is alluvial sand and gravel of Whitewater River. The southern section of the Project area south of Highway 111 consists of a combination of alluvial sand and gravel as well as wind-laid dune sand (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor should be consistent with the City’s General Plan and must adhere to established state and local regulations to mitigate risks related to unstable and expansive soils. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less Than Significant Impact: Expansive soils are soils containing fine-grained materials such as silts and clays in varying amounts. With changes in moisture content, clay minerals can shrink or swell, creating pressure that may affect structures or other surface improvements. Prior to any future ground-disturbing activities within the Highway 111 Corridor, it is recommended that soil properties and type be identified to ensure compliance with the Uniform Building Code. Furthermore, by adhering to the City’s General Plan Policy GEO-1.3, potential impacts to property development due to expansive soils would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater ? Less Than Significant: Development under the proposed Specific Plan would continue to be connected to the CVWD’s wastewater treatment system. Future wastewater treatment proposed for development must comply with Regional Water Control Board regulations to prevent any potential discharge into local water sources. The installation, use, sizing, and location of wastewater treatment systems to suppo rt future development would undergo review and approval by both the Riverside County Environmental Health Department and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Additionally, it is likely that geotechnical engineering analysis may be required to secure future building permits to ensure the safe and proper installation of wastewater treatment systems. Subsequent development may necessitate additional CEQA assessment of project-specific impacts before proceeding, alongside adherence to local laws and regulations. The potential wastewater impacts stemming from the adoption of the Specific Plan are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 765 Environmental Analysis – Geology and Soils City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-64 f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated: Paleontological resources encompass not only fossil remains but also fossil sites and geological formations that have yielded fossil material. The proposed Specific Plan does not entail specific development projects or confer entitlements for development. Moreover, the proposed land use blueprint would align with the current land use designations outlined in the City’s General Plan. As the Specific Plan functions as a policy and regulatory framework, it would not directly cause the disturbance of paleontological resources. However, potential future enhancements to execute the Specific Plan could potentially impact these resources. Though there are no known unique paleontological resources, site, or unique geologic feature present within the Project area, that does not mean undiscovered paleontological resources do not exist. To address this, mitigation measure GEO-1 has been proposed to mitigate potential impacts on undiscovered paleontological resources. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: GEO-1. Geology and Soils Mitigation Measures • GEO-1: Protect Paleontological Resources during Construction Activities Prior to ground disturbing activities, all field personnel will receive training on paleontological resources, including potential fossils that may be discovered and response steps, while a qualified paleontologist will prepare a Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (PRMMP). If fossils (like bones, teeth, or well-preserved plants) are found during construction, the City will stop work within 50 feet and notify a paleontologist to document and assess the find. The paleontologist may allow work to continue or recommend salvaging the fossils if necessary and will suggest appropriate treatment methods. Collected fossils will be sent to an accredited institution for curation and preservation. All earth-moving operations deeper than two feet must have a qualified paleontological monitor. Continuous monitoring is needed if fossil-rich lakebed sediments are found. The monitor can stop work to identify and salvage fossils and may halt equipment for large specimens. A monitoring plan must be submitted to the City before any permits are issued or soil is disturbed. Grading and excavation must comply with La Quinta Code and regulations. After ground disturbing activities and any necessary fossil curation, the project paleontologist will prepare a final report detailing the results of the PRMMP. 766 Environmental Analysis – Greenhouse Gas Emissions City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-65 3.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: 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? ✓ As described in Section 1, Project Information, the Project is consistent with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. Therefore, growth parameters such as population and vehicle activity are consistent with the General Plan and have been previously analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR. The following General Plan policies and programs are applicable to and would be implemented by project: • Policy AQ-1.7: Greenhouse gas emissions associated with a development project shall demonstrate adherence to the City’s GHG Reduction Plan. The City adopted the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (GHG Plan) in 2013. The City’s GHG Plan includes emission reduction targets for year 2020 and year 2035 that are consistent with the State’s Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) reduction targets. Specifically, the City’s reduction targets are: • 10 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, and • 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2035 a,b) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Less Than Significant Impact: The applicable greenhouse gas reduction plan is the City’s GHG Plan, which demonstrates a community-wide emissions reduction strategy consistent with the AB 32 reduction goals. Therefore, if a project is consistent with the City’s GHG Plan, the project would not generate greenhouse gas emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment. The Specific Plan’s consistency with the City’s GHG Plan is assessed in Table 3.3, below. As demonstrated in the table, the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s GHG Plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with an applicable GHG plan; the Specific Plan’s greenhouse gas emissions generation impact would be less than significant. 767 Environmental Analysis – Greenhouse Gas Emissions City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-66 Table 3.3.

Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 769 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-68 3.9 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? ✓ b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? ✓ c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? ✓ d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? ✓ e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? ✓ f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ✓ g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? ✓ * A material is considered hazardous by the state of California Health and Safety Code as any material that, because of quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, poses a significant present or potential hazard to human health and safety or to the environment (CA HSC, 2022.). California categorizes hazardous materials into four categories. These include if the material or waste is poisonous (toxicity), can be ignited by open flame (ignitability), can corrode other materials (corrosivity), or can react violently, explode, or generate vapors when mixed with water (reactivity) (CCR, 2023b). Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would facilitate expansion of commercial activities that may manufacture, transport, store, use, or dispose of hazardous materials and waste. Prior to any related ground disturbing activities, developers may need to conduct site -specific research and technical studies to assess the presence of hazardous materials and potential hazards within the Specific Plan area. This information would ensure that future developers are well-informed about the necessary protocols for safely handling, storing, and disposing of hazardous substances, as well as understanding any environmental risks that could impact development projects in the area. The following policies within the City’s General Plan aim to address and mitigate health hazards associated with hazardous materials in future development: 770 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-69 • Policy HAZ-1.1: The storage, transport, use and disposal of hazardous materials shall comply with all City, County, State, and federal standards. − Program HAZ-1.1.a: Continue to coordinate with all appropriate agencies to assure that local, State and federal regulations are enforced. − Program HAZ-1.1.b: Development plans for projects which may store, use or transport hazardous materials shall continue to be routed to the Fire Department and the Department of Environmental Health for review. − Program HAZ-1.1.c: The City’s Emergency Services Division shall maintain a comprehensive inventory of all hazardous waste sites within the City, including underground fuel storage tanks. • Policy HAZ-1.2: To the extent empowered, the City shall regulate the generation, delivery, use and storage of hazardous materials. − Program HAZ-1.2.a: All facilities which produce, utilize, store or transport hazardous materials shall be constructed in strict conformance with all applicable Building and Fire Codes. • Policy HAZ-1.3: Support Household Hazardous Waste − Program HAZ-1.3.a: Continue to work with the County to assure regular household hazardous waste disposal events are held in and around the City. − Program HAZ-1.3.b: Educate the City’s residents on the proper disposal of household hazardous waste through the City’s newsletter and by providing educational materials at City Hall. The analysis described in this section includes data on hazardous sites sourced from the San Diego RWQCB GeoTracker Database and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor Database, accessed as of June 2024. a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Construction activities associated with the Specific Plan may involve the handling of incidental amounts of hazardous materials such as fuels, hydraulic liquids, oils, and solvents. Handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials would be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and any hazardous waste materials would be disposed of offsite. Given the proposed densification of the corridor and new commercial activities, there would be greater potential for the transport of hazardous materials in Specific Plan area streets, increasing the likelihood of potential spills or leaks from mobile sources. Changes in land use, such as modification, increased activity, and reorganization, can potentially expose the public to environmental hazards associated with the transportation, disposal, or use of hazardous materials. Furthermore, future development or construction activities may also present risks to public health and the environment by disturbing contaminated groundwater, soils, or hazardous building materials already present. Future development within the Highway 111 Corridor would be required to adhere to the Specific Plan’s policies, the City’s General Plan, and applicable federal and state laws and local regulations. As such, environmental impacts associated with the handling and disposal of hazardous material would be mitigated through the implementation of HAZ-1 and impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1. 771 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-70 b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The Specific Plan would adhere to the County’s Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP), which addresses the proper disposal, processing, handling, storage, and treatment of hazardous materials. The City also has adopted this HWMP and implements it at a local level. In future redevelopment projects involving demolition of structures built more than 30 years ago, there is a possibility of encountering asbestos materials. Therefore, an Asbestos Survey shall be conducted prior to the commencement of any demolition activities, in compliance with Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, overseen by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), encompasses safety standards in the workplace, includin g regulations related to hazardous materials such as asbestos. Title 8 addresses the handling, removal, and disposal of asbestos during demolition activities. (CCR, 2023a). Furthermore, future development within the Highway 111 Corridor shall comply with the City’s General Plan policies HAZ-1.1 through HAZ-1.3 to ensure impacts related to health hazards from hazardous materials are taken into consideration and reduced or minimized in conjunction with future development. All future development under the proposed Specific Plan would be required to comply with applicable federal and state laws and local regulations pertaining to the transport, use, disposal, and accidental release of hazardous materials, including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), California Hazardous Waste Control Law, California Health and Safety Code, California Fire Code, California Department of Public Health, South Coast AQMD, RCRA regulations, the City’s Municipal Code along with the General Plan policies listed above. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and policies aims to mitigate potential environmental impacts associated with hazardous materials and hazards. Through the inclusion of mitigation measure HAZ-1, future improvements within the Highway 111 Corridor would be minimized to levels deemed insignificant. Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1. c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: La Quinta High School is about 0.18 miles north of the Specific Plan area, while James Madison Elementary School is roughly 1.6 miles northeast. Additionally, Amelia Earhart Elementary School and John Glenn Middle School are situated adjacent to each other, approximately 1.5 miles north of the proposed Project development area. The Specific Plan is a guidance-level document and does not include site-specific development plans, however, future developments within the Specific Plan area may involve the release or handling of hazardous materials, substances, or waste within a quarter-mile radius of any existing or proposed school. Therefore, future development in the Highway 111 Corridor should adopt mitigation measure HAZ-1 to reduce potential impacts from hazardous materials, substances, or waste on nearby schools. Mitigation Measures: HAZ-1. 772 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-71 d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: The provisions in Government Code Section 65962.5 are commonly referred to as the "Cortese List." A search of the Cortese List was completed for the Project to determine if any known hazardous waste sites have been recorded on or adjacent to the Specific Plan area. These include: • Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database; • List of Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites from the Water Board GeoTracker database; • List of solid waste disposal sites identified by the Water Board with waste constituents above hazardous waste levels; • List of "active" Cease and Desist Orders and Cleanup and Abatement Orders from the Water Board; and • List of hazardous waste facilities subject to corrective action pursuant to Section 25187.5 of the Health and Safety Code. Database searches conducted within a one-mile radius of the Specific Plan area returned two LUST (Leaking Underground Storage Tank) Cleanup Sites within the Specific Plan area (Regional Water Board Cases # 7T2253006; and 7T2253014 [DTSC, 2024; SWRCB, 2024]). LUST site 7T2253006 is located at 78611 Highway 111, La Quinta, CA 92253 and LUST site 7T2253014 is located at 46150 Washington Street, La Quinta, CA 92253. The LUST sites, 7T2253006 and 7T2253014, are located where future development may occur within the Highway 111 Corridor; however, the cases were closed in 2001 and 2003, respectively. The known contaminant for both LUST sites was gasoline, which was found in soil at both LUST sites. Excavation cleanup activities were conducted shortly after the leaks were detected and the cases were closed with no further regulatory action required. As such, it is likely that the closed sites have little to no potential to present a lasting impact or adverse consequences that would impede the feasibility of the proposed Specific Plan development. As there are no other known hazardous sites or ongoing clean-up activities within the Project area that would pose a hazardous risk, the implementation of the Specific Plan would not create significant hazards to the public or environment. To prevent potential hazards to the public or environment from future development under the Specific Plan, any construction or site disturbance in areas with recorded Cortese List sites would require additional environmental assessment, such as Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, before excavation or major construction begins, as outlined in Mitigation Measure HAZ-2. Mitigation Measures: HAZ-2. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact: The development area outlined in the Specific Plan is situated outside of an airport land use plan and beyond a two-mile radius from any public use airport. The closest airport, Bermuda Dunes Airport, is approximately four miles north of the Specific Plan area and is a public airport that is privately owned. Additionally, the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is a public county-owned airport located approximately eight miles southeast of the Specific Plan area. Despite this proximity, it is expected that the proposed development would not negatively affect airport operations or safety. Since the Highway 111 773 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-72 Corridor is located outside any Airport Influence Area, it is not subject to an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan requirements (Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission, 2004). Therefore, no impacts related to airport land use plans or safety hazards are expected to occur. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less Than Significant: Highway 111 serves as an arterial route through the City and can be utilized as an evacuation path. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would not hinder access along Highway 111 and to nearby neighborhoods. The City's Emergency Management Division has established an EOP detailing mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in emergencies (City of La Quinta, 2010). Additionally, the City operates a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program, educating residents on disaster preparedness and basic response skills such as fire safety and rescue operations. The City's LHMP further reduces risks from natural and man-made hazards, emphasizing protection for residents, property, and critical infrastructure (City of La Quinta, 2023). The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan includes transportation and street enhancements aimed at improving multi-modal connectivity and pedestrian-friendliness without disrupting traffic flow or emergency access. All future development would undergo review and approval by the City of La Quinta Fire Department to ensure compliance with fire safety standards and non -interference with emergency access. Adherence to the General Plan policies ensures that local emergency plans are regularly updated with the latest disaster preparedness information and evacuation procedures. By aligning with the goals of the EOP, CERT Program, LHMP, and General Plan, development along Highway 111 would proceed responsibly, minimizing impacts on emergency response and evacuation protocols and promoting community safety. Therefore, the Project is expected to have a less than significant impact on established emergency plans and evacuation procedures. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? No Impact: The Project area is situated outside of wildland fire hazard zones and is not prone to wildfires (CAL FIRE, 2023). Development along the Highway 111 Corridor would adhere to the City's LHMP and comply with Building and Fire codes established to ensure adequate fire safety standards. These standards consider factors such as building type, design, intended occupancy, and usage. Additionally, the City has partnered with the Riverside County Fire Department to enhance fire safety measures under a comprehensive fire services agreement. By following the guidelines set forth in the City of La Quinta's LHMP, the Project is expected to have no impact on fire safety, ensuring compliance and safety standards are met. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Mitigation Measures • HAZ-1: Hazardous Materials Handling and Planning New development projects in the Specific Plan area must comply with local, state, and federal regulations by submitting development plans and permits to the City for review. Projects intending to 774 Environmental Analysis – Hazards and Hazardous Materials City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-73 use or store hazardous materials must prepare a Spill Prevention Countermeasure Contingency (SPCC) Plan outlining spill containment protocols, along with maintaining an onsite SPCC spill kit. Additionally, developments proposing storage and use of hazardous materials above reporting thresholds must create a Hazardous Materials Business Emergency Plan (HMBEP) as per Chapter 6.95 of the California Health & Safety Code and Title 19, Division 2 of the California Code of Regulations. The HMBEP requires approval from the County of Riverside Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) and the Department of Environmental Health prior to business operation commencement. • HAZ-2: Phase I and/or Phase II Site Assessment Projects within the Specific Plan area that involve excavation at locations with recorded Cortese List sites must undergo a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and where necessary, Phase II sampling. If the Phase I assessment identifies the need for remediation, the project sponsor must adhere to all remediation and abatement directives specified by the DTSC, RWQCB, or relevant regulatory agencies. 775 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-74 3.10 Hydrology and Water Quality Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? ✓ b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? ✓ c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would: i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? ✓ ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? ✓ iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? ✓ iv. Impede or redirect flood flows? ✓ d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? ✓ e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? ✓ Hydrology of the Region The City is situated in the CV and exhibits a distinct hydrological profile shaped by its desert environment and unique geological characteristics. The City experiences a hot desert climate, characterized by low annual precipitation and high temperatures, which significantly influence its hydrology. La Quinta receives minimal precipitation, averaging 3-5 inches annually, mostly during winter months (City of La Quinta, 2022). High evaporation rates from intense solar radiation limit surface water resources and, as such, the City heavily depends on groundwater from CV aquifers. The City’s hydrology is shaped by the San Andreas Fault system and nearby mountain ranges, influencing groundwater recharge and aquifer sustainability. Given its arid climate and groundwater reliance, the City prioritizes sustainable water management through conservation, monitoring groundwater levels, and exploring alternative water sources to address potential challenges from droughts and growing water demands (City of La Quinta, 2022). Sustainable water management practices are essential to support the City's growth and development while safeguarding its water resources. 776 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-75 Water Management and Flood Controls The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC) oversees the design of flood control structures across the region. These structures manage runoff from areas beyond the City, such as the surrounding mountains. The CVWD holds extensive responsibilities for flood control management, encompassing planning, maintenance, and construction of enhancements for regional facilities. This includes managing facilities such as the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel (CVSC, Whitewater River), the La Quinta Evacuation Channel, the Bear Creek System, the East La Quinta Channel, and Lake Cahuilla. CVWD is an independent special district that is responsible for protecting and conserving local water resources in the CV. CVWD provides water to its customers via groundwater, recycled water, and imported water from either the Colorado River (via Coachella Canal) or through the State Water Project (CVWD, 2024). As groundwater is an important resource in the region, the CVWD has adopted several strategies, including groundwater recharge, imported water utilization, and water conservation initiatives, aimed at reducing groundwater extraction. The Whitewater River/CVSC, which is managed by CVWD, serves as the primary drainage route within the City and while usually dry, it can flood during storms. Spanning approximately 50 miles, the CVSC averages 260 feet in width and is channelized in some portions and contains levees (City of La Quinta, 2022). The channel mostly aligns with its historical natural course, except for a deviation within the City's boundaries. The City maintains and manages stormwater-related facilities that gather and transport runoff from streets and properties to regional channels and basins. The City’s Master Drainage Plan serves as a tool for managing and documenting the status and locations of existing stormwater management facilities (City of La Quinta, 2009). The Project area includes regions identified by the Federal Emergency Management Act’s (FEMA's) National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) as Zone X and Zone A. Zone X denotes areas with a reduced flood risk due to the presence of levees, while Zone A represents areas situated within the 100- year floodplain (FEMA, 2024). Compliance with the following policies outlined in the City's General Plan would promote efficient use and conservation of the City’s valuable water resources: • Policy WR-1.1: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to supply adequate domestic water to residents and businesses. − Program WR-1.1.a: The City shall continue to implement its Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance and Building Codes, and update them as needed to meet or exceed State standards for water efficiency and conservation. − Program WR-1.1.b: Continue to work with CVWD to implement independent and joint programs, rebates, and discounts that promote water conservation, subject to available funding. • Policy WR-1.2: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to recharge the aquifer. − Program WR-1.2.a: Support CVWD’s efforts to increase recharge at its La Quinta facility and elsewhere in its district. − Program WR-1.2.b: Work with CVWD to implement new or improved recharging techniques in golf course and lake design, turf and agricultural irrigation methods, and the use of tertiary treated water for irrigation and other uses. • Policy WR-1.3: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to expand tertiary treated (i.e. reclaimed) water distribution. 777 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-76 − Program WR-1.3.a: Work with CVWD to provide tertiary treated water for future recreational facilities and landscaping irrigation to the greatest extent possible. • Policy WR-1.4: Protect stormwater from pollution and encourage its use to recharge the aquifer. − Program WR-1.4.a: Implement federal, regional and local standards pertaining to the discharge and treatment of pollutants in surface water for all development projects. − Program WR-1.4.b: Coordinate with CVWD in its review of projects which impact drainage channels. − Program WR-1.4.c: Require on-site retention for new development projects to the greatest extent possible, to provide added recharge of the aquifer. • Policy WR-1.5: Development within drainage areas and stormwater facilities shall be limited to recreational uses such as golf courses, lakes, sports or play fields and similar uses. • Policy WR-1.6: Encourage the use of permeable pavements in residential and commercial development projects. a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: Future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would lead to the construction of new structures. This expansion of mixed-use development and densification of the Highway 111 Corridor would introduce more impermeable surfaces, as well as an increase in population and vehicles. Consequently, there would be a rise in urban pollutants like oils, heavy metals, pesticides, and fertilizers entering the storm drain systems. The SWRCB regulates water quality through the NPDES program, established under the Clean Water Act. This program aims to control and reduce pollutants entering water bodies from both point and non-point sources, covering long-term and construction-related activities. NPDES permits for discharges to water bodies are issued and enforced by the Colorado River RWQCB. Projects that disturb more than one acre of land during construction must submit a notice of intent to be covered under the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. Project applicants must propose control measures consistent with this permit, as well as with local agency recommendations and RWQCB standards. Development that exceeds one acre in disturbance requires a notice of intent submission to the RWQCB. The State NPDES General Construction Permit mandates the development and execution of a SWPPP. This plan utilizes BMPs for controlling runoff, erosion, and sedimentation from project sites, both during and after construction. Adhering to the NPDES General Permit requirements would significantly mitigate potential impacts on water quality to below a significant level. Additionally, any future development of wastewater treatment systems could affect groundwater quality, however, treatment of wastewater must be in accordance with RWQCB as well as state regulations. As such, impacts to surface waters or ground water quality can be reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of mitigation measure HWQ-1. Mitigation Measures: HWQ-1. 778 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-77 b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? Less Than Significant: CVWD manages and protects groundwater resources in the CV and implements groundwater recharge to conserve water for the region. However, despite CVWD's consistent increase in groundwater basin recharge (from 1,813 acre-feet in 2000 to 21,735 acre-feet in 2009), persistent drought conditions and rising demand have prevented CVWD from sustaining positive recharge levels. CVWD intends to intensify recharge endeavors as the City expands (City of La Quinta, 2022; CVWD, 2024). Future development across the CV and the Highway 111 Corridor would necessitate domestic water for indoor use and landscaping irrigation, which would likely result in an increased demand on constrained water resources. The City has initiated water conservation measures and must sustain and broaden those efforts to safeguard its water reserves in the future. The City is also working with property owners along the corridor to remove non-functional turf and replace with desertscape to conserve water resources. The proposed Specific Plan will enable future projects to use this impact analysis for environmental assessments, providing a programmatic overview that will likely be tiered from this document. Future growth and development along Highway 111 should align with the goals, policies, and programs outlined in the City’s General Plan, particularly water resource policies WR-1.1 through WR-1.6. Projects in the area will need to adhere to water efficiency standards, including Building Code mandates, and should incorporate drought-tolerant landscaping with minimal irrigation. These measures, along with other applicable requirements, are expected to effectively mitigate water-related impacts to less than significant levels. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c.i) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? Less Than Significant: Development facilitated by this Specific Plan would likely involve grading and construction in areas already developed, and undeveloped areas, potentially altering drainage patterns and increasing impervious surfaces. This could lead to increased stormwater runoff, potentially causing erosion, siltation, or exceeding the capacity of storm drain systems, thereby posing flood hazards to surrounding lands. However, these impacts related to altered drainage patterns and stormwater runoff would remain insignificant if future development adheres to the policies of the City’s General Plan and complies with existing federal, state, and local regulations. As such, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c.ii, c.iii) Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substan tial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: The Specific Plan does not include specific site designs, nor does it include development plans that may increase surface runoff rates and flooding. The document is intended to guide future land use and propose development scenarios and aesthetic improvements (Highway 111 Development Code) to the Highway 111 Corridor. However, potential future improvements in the area covered by the Specific Plan may alter runoff rates, possibly causing flooding or 779 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-78 exceeding the capacity of the drainage system. The Highway 111 Corridor is largely developed, and any new buildings or facilities must be designed to manage stormwater by directing it into the City's drainage system or retaining it onsite. Adhering to City’s development standards would help mitigate impacts related to surface runoff and drainage system overload. Furthermore, future improvements that disturb over one acre of land would be required to develop and implement a SWPPP under NPDES (as mentioned above), which would mitigate impacts associated with stormwater runoff on the environment. Moreover, developments that generate more than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surface are generally required to adhere to Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) regulations, which call for post-construction controls to manage stormwater runoff and safeguard water quality (RCFCWCD, 2015b). Finally, integrating General Plan policy WR-1.6 into future construction and design along the Highway 111 Corridor would promote the adoption of permeable pavements, thereby reducing stormwater impacts caused by runoff. Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant with incorporation of Mitigation Measure HWQ-1. Mitigation Measures: HWQ-1. c.iv) Impede or redirect flood flows? Less Than Significant: The Project area includes regions identified by FEMA's NFHL as Zone X and Zone A. Zone X denotes areas with a reduced flood risk due to the presence of levees, while Zone A represents areas situated within the 100-year floodplain. There are no FEMA-regulated floodways in the Project area (FEMA, 2024). Future improvements in flood hazard areas would undergo City Engineer review to ensure compliance with all development requirements. Future improvements would be required to prepare project- specific hydrology studies and water quality management plans. Thus, adherence to City development standards would mitigate impacts related to impeding or redirecting flood flows, and as such, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? Less Than Significant: According to FEMA, the Whitewater River, located along the northern boundary of the Project area, is classified as Zone A. Only a relatively small and select portion of the Project area (approximately one acre area) is located within a flood hazard area (Zone A). This Zone A area is situated along the Whitewater River channelized wash, which lies in the northwest portion of the Project area, where Highway 111 crosses over the wash. However, the Project area outlined in this Specific Plan is an inland area that is not near a large body of water that could release or carry pollutants from a tsunami or seiche. As described above, any future development improvements along the Highway 111 Corridor would be reviewed by City staff for compliance with flood hazard development standards. Additionally, future development may be required to prepare project-specific hydrology and water quality management plans, as needed, to align with City development standards. As such, impacts related to the potential release of pollutants due to project inundation would be reduced and impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: As mentioned above, the City’s Master Drainage Plan documents the status and locations of all stormwater management facilities (City of La Quinta, 2009). The Whitewater River Region Stormwater Management Plan outlines the activities and programs 780 Environmental Analysis – Hydrology and Water Quality City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-79 undertaken by permittees to effectively manage urban runoff in accordance with the NPDES municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit, specifically tailored for the Whitewater River Region (RCFCWCD, 2015a). Additionally, the Whitewater River Region Water Quality Management Plan Guidance Document was created to aid projects in meeting the obligations for addressing post -construction urban runoff from new development and redevelopment projects within the region (RCFCWCD, 2015b). Development planned within the Specific Plan area shall adhere to mitigation measure HWQ-2, which includes water efficiency standards, compliance with development codes, and the use of drought-tolerant landscaping and restricted irrigation methods. Compliance with these requirements would ensure that future enhancements along the Highway 111 Corridor do not hinder the implementation of water quality control or sustainable groundwater management plans. Therefore, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Mitigation Measures: HWQ-2. Hydrology and Water Quality Mitigation Measures • HWQ-1: Stormwater Management Practices Prior to the issuance of City building permits, all projects within the Specific Plan area that disturb one acre or more of land must prepare a SWPPP. This plan shall outline suitable BMPs for managing and treating runoff from future development site(s). The applicant is accountable for both preparing and executing the SWPPP in accordance with NPDES requirements. Additionally, the applicant must submit a Notice of Intent to the SWRCB, obtain a Waste Discharge ID Number (WDID), and ensure a copy of the SWPPP is present at the development site throughout the construction phase. • HWQ-2: Water Conservation Measures Future development in the Highway 111 Corridor must integrate water-saving appliances and fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucets, in compliance with Section 17921.3 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 20 of the California Administrative Code Section 1601(b), and relevant sections of Title 24 of the California State Code. Additionally, the City would enforce its Water Efficient Landscape ordinance, requiring development projects within the Specific Plan area to adopt water-efficient landscaping plans that meet or exceed current criteria. These measures are aimed at conserving water resources while addressing the needs of residents and businesses. 781 Environmental Analysis – Land Use and Planning City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-80 3.11 Land Use and Planning Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? ✓ b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? ✓ Highway 111, traversing the Project area, is recognized as a primary arterial route, featuring a width of six lanes. The City’s General Plan Land Use Designation for the Project area is GC. The Specific Plan would continue to implement the mixed-use overlay district, as outlined in the General Plan. The overlay strategically considers the area's ideal location, in close proximity to public facilities, commerce, and major roads. By integrating mixed use development, the Specific Plan aims to create a dynamic blend of commercial, residential, and recreational spaces that can serve the diverse needs of the community. The Project encompasses enhancements to transportation infrastructure, featuring the integration of dedicated bike lanes, enhancements to pedestrian pathways and potentially roundabouts at strategic points of the corridor area. These upgrades aim to facilitate seamless connectivity along the corridor, fostering smoother traffic flow and ensuring safer and more accessible travel options for all users. The proximity to key transportation routes and essential services makes the Project area an ideal location for such development, enhancing accessibility and convenience for residents and visitors alike. The implementation of the Specific Plan is designed to create a more dynamic, interconnected, and sustainable urban setting, aligning with the vision of a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly downtown center. a) Physically divide an established community? No Impact: The Specific Plan outlines seven DSAs that serve as a blueprint for future land use, development standards, and design guidelines in accordance with the City's vision. Development would occur within the existing boundaries of the City without physically dividing any existing neighborhoods in La Quinta. The Specific Plan aims to transform the downtown area into a vibrant and pedestrian-friendly center that serves as the focal point for the community. It envisions a walkable environment that encourages foot traffic and creates a lively atmosphere. The proposed mix of land uses within the Specific Plan is designed to be compatible with the existing uses in the surrounding downtown area and its main thoroughfares. This compatibility ensures a harmonious integration of new developments with the established character and activities of the immediate vicinity. The proposed Project would not physically divide any established community and would result in a negligible impact on the surrounding area. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? No Impact: The proposed Project would be consistent with the land use plans, policy and regulations set forth by the City including the Land Use Element of the General Plan as well as the City’s Municipal Code. Consistency with the General Plan Goals and Policies: 782 Environmental Analysis – Land Use and Planning City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-81 The City’s General Plan largely consists of a set of guidelines and policies that are in support of improved land use. As per the General Plan, Highway 111 presents the City with a prime opportunity for targeted diverse-purpose development, emphasizing increased housing choices and the creation of pedestrian- friendly spaces that prioritize public accessibility. Highway 111’s convenient access to transit options and its proximity to employment centers, schools, and various services make it an ideal location for mixed-use projects. This combination of factors creates a favorable environment for the integration of residential, commercial, and possibly other uses, fostering a vibrant and interconnected community along Highway 111. Within this framework, the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan aligns with the policies established for La Quinta, particularly those related to land use. Therefore, any future project would need to adhere to the goals, policies, and actions outlined in the General Plan to ensure consistency and compliance with the established framework. The Specific Plan would be consistent with the following relevant goals and implementation policies from the General Plan Land Use Element: • Goal Land Use (LU)-5: A broad range of housing types and choices for all residents of the City. − Implementation Policy LU-5.2 Consider changes in market demand in residential product type to meet the needs of current and future residents. ▪ Program LU-5.2a: Periodically review and update, as needed, the standards of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for changes in residential product types without the need for a Specific Plan. ▪ Program LU-5.2b: Include detailed residential development standards in the Mixed Use Overlay zoning district. • Goal LU-7: Innovative land uses in the Village and on Highway 111. − Implementation Policy LU-7.1: Encourage the use of mixed use development in appropriate locations. ▪ Program LU-7.1a: Establish a Mixed Use Overlay for all the commercial zoning designations. − Implementation Policy LU‐7.2: Mixed Use developments within 300 feet of Highway 111 must include retail commercial development for at least 75% of the ground floor leasable area. − Implementation Policy LU-7.3: Encourage the use of vacant pads in existing commercial development on Highway 111 for residential use. ▪ Program LU-7.3a: Amend the Zoning Ordinance to include standards for high density residential development within commercial zones. − Implementation Policy LU-7.4: Develop incentives for Mixed Use projects. ▪ Program LU-7.4a: Consider density bonuses, modified parking requirements, expedited entitlement and building permit processing and fee waivers for Mixed Use projects. − Implementation Policy LU-7.8: Encourage the expansion of transit service to meet commuter needs. ▪ Program LU-7.8a: Expand transit opportunities on Highway 111 and to the Village to allow a broad range of services (including special event shuttle services). Consistency with the Municipal Code: Title 9 of the City’s Municipal Code addresses the zoning regulations. These regulations are established with the aim of advancing public health, safety, and overall well-being in accordance with Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution, the State Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Section 783 Environmental Analysis – Land Use and Planning City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-82 65000 et seq.), the CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), and relevant state statutes. The Highway 111 Specific Plan would adhere to its policies including: Mixed Use Overlay District (9.110.120) • Purpose and intent: − To provide opportunities for multifamily residential development in combination with commercial and/or office development in a cohesive and integrated manner. − To facilitate mixed use nodes that minimize vehicle trips and enhance proximity to services and mass transit, consistent with implementation measures CI-13 and ND-4 of the City's GHG Plan, as well as Transportation Demand Management principles. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 784 Environmental Analysis – Mineral Resources City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-83 3.12 Mineral Resources Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? ✓ b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? ✓ a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? No Impact: According to the City’s General Plan, the only mineral resources in the region are composed of primarily sand and gravel for construction. However, these resources have not been mined in the City for many years. The California DOC, Division of Mines and Geology, has conducted mapping of the City's resources and recognized the presence of three mineral resource zones within the region : • MRZ-1 consists of land where no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that little likelihood for their presence exists. • MRZ-2 consists of land where significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood for their presence exists. • MRZ-3 consists of land containing mineral deposits, but the significance cannot be evaluated from available data. The designated region outlined in the Specific Plan is labeled as MRZ-1, suggesting a low probability of substantial mineral resources being present (City of La Quinta, 2022). Therefore, the loss of known mineral resources is not expected and as such, impacts to mineral resources are not anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact: No locally important mineral resource recovery site is located in the designated Project area covered by the Specific Plan (City of La Quinta, 2022). Therefore, no impacts related to mineral resources are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 785 Environmental Analysis – Noise City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-84 3.13 Noise Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? ✓ b) Result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or noise levels? ✓ c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? ✓ Noise, considered an unwanted sound, can have severe physiological and psychological effects, including sleep disturbances and hearing loss. Sound is typically measured in decibels (dB), which quantify changes in air pressure. Traffic noise, however, is usually measured in A-weighted decibels (dBA) since this scale aligns closely with human hearing. It emphasizes mid-range frequencies while giving less importance to very low and very high frequencies, reflecting our natural experience of sounds like traffic. As most noise is measured in dB, people notice a 3 dB increase in noisy areas, a 5 dB rise is clearly noticeable, and a 10 dB increase feels like doubling the loudness. Traffic noise impacts are deemed significant if predicted levels exceed existing noise by 12 dBA or approach within 1 dBA of the noise abatement criterion (NAC) for sensitive areas, with evaluations considering the setting, receptor sensitivity, noise increase magnitude, number of affected residences, and absolute noise level. In California, under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) protocol, the NAC is 67 dBA for residences, places of worship, and schools. Construction activities and associated equipment can register up to 110 dBA (FHWA, 2024; City of La Quinta, 2022). Table 3.4 below illustrates the impact of loudness on people's subjective perception. 786 Environmental Analysis – Noise City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-85 Table 3.4. Loudness Impact on Subjective Perception Common Outdoor Activities Common Indoor Activities A-Weighted Sound Level dBA Subjective Loudness Effects of Noise Threshold of pain 140 Intolerable or Deafening Hearing Loss Near jet engine 130 120 Jet fly-over at 300m (1,000 feet) Rock band 110 Loud auto horn 100 Very Noisy Gas lawn mower at 1m (3 feet) 90 Diesel truck at 15m (50 feet), at 80 km/hr (50 mph) Food blender at 1m (3 feet) 80 Speech Interference Noisy urban area, daytime Vacuum cleaner at 3m (10 feet) 70 Loud Heavy traffic at 90m (300 feet) Normal speech at 1 m (3 feet) 60 Quiet urban daytime Large business office 50 Moderate Sleep Disturbance Quiet urban nighttime Theater, large conference room (background) 40 Quiet suburban nighttime Library 30 Faint No Effect Quiet rural nighttime Bedroom at night, concert hall (background) 20 Broadcast/recording studio 10 Very Faint Lowest threshold of human hearing Lowest threshold of human hearing 0 The ambient noise level in a community is the total background sound at any given time, including noise from sources such as traffic, birdsong, conversations, and other environmental sounds. A linear source of noise, such as a roadway, affects a broader area along its length, while a point source, like a factory exhaust, impacts a more localized area around its specific location (USEPA, 1978). In the City, traffic noise is the primary noise source, with levels rising when heavy trucks are more prevalent com pared to passenger cars. Other contributors include commercial activities such as air compressors, compactors, landscaping equipment, and daily business operations. Additionally, aircraft noise from Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport, though infrequent, can impact nearby residential areas. The City's General Plan includes the following policies to manage and reduce noise impacts from future development: • 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 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 787 Environmental Analysis – Noise City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-86 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. • Policy N-1.6: The City may require remedial noise control plans and/or improvements for areas experiencing noise in excess of adopted City standards. • Policy N-1.7: Noise impact analysis shall be included in all City Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and developer-required roadway widening projects to demonstrate compliance with City noise standards. • Policy N-1.8: Maintain a truck route plan restricting truck travel to arterial roadways. a) Result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: In the City, traffic noise - especially from heavy trucks - is the most prevalent source of noise, with additional noise coming from commercial activities and daily operations. Section 9.100.210 of the La Quinta Municipal Code sets noise standards, allowing 60 dBA from 7 AM to 10 PM and 50 dBA from 10 PM to 7 AM for sensitive uses, and 75 dBA and 65 dBA, respectively, for nonresidential areas. Construction projects often use heavy equipment that generates noise between 68 dBA and over 100 dBA at 50 feet, with levels decreasing by about 6 dBA for each doubling of distance. However, heavy equipment near sensitive areas can still cause brief periods of excessive noise. To address this, the City’s noise ordinance limits construction activities during evenings, weekends, and holidays. To mitigate construction-related noise impacts associated with the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, projects within the Specific Plan area shall implement NOI-1. Additionally, developments near sensitive receptors would include a construction noise analysis. The addition of mixed use and residential areas along Highway 111 is intended to create a vibrant, interconnected, and pedestrian-friendly downtown. Future development, as outlined by the Specific Plan may temporarily generate construction noise as well as increase longer-term operational noise along the corridor Noise levels are anticipated to be compatible with the urban environment. For future developments along the Highway 111 Corridor, the City may require a noise impact study. Based on this study, projects may need to include noise mitigation measures as per General Plan policies NS-1.1 through NS-1.8, ensuring that noise levels remain acceptable and impacts are minimal. Future development would follow the City’s Municipal Code and General Plan policies to ensure traffic noise remains within acceptable levels, preventing exposure beyond these standards. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: NOI-1. b) Result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact: None of the permitted uses in the proposed Specific Plan area involve excessive vibration or groundborne noise. However, construction of future developments in the area may temporarily cause short-term noise or vibration impacts. The City's General Plan notes that groundborne vibration primarily comes from construction equipment, train activity, and heavy truck traffic. However, 788 Environmental Analysis – Noise City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-87 unlike noise, there is no standardized method for measuring vibration. In the City, most vibration is caused by construction and heavy trucks, as there are no train tracks within the City or its surrounding areas. Over time, the introduction of new vibration sources is not anticipated. While construction equipment and heavy trucks may cause brief, localized vibrations, these are not expected to have a significant impact on the City. The implementation of the Specific Plan would not directly increase groundborne vibration or noise levels. Future development under the Plan would require additional CEQA review and noise/vibration analysis. As such, impacts related to excessive groundborne vibration or noise levels are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact: The Bermuda Dunes Airport is approximately 2.7 miles north of the study area and the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is situated in the community of Thermal approximately 8 miles southeast of the Project area. The Bermuda Dunes Airport is a public use airport that is privately owned. The Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is also a public use airport and primarily handle business and private air traffic. As airport activity is expected to grow in the future, noise impacts would vary depending on the runway used. One runway, aligned north-south, primarily generates noise to the north and south. The other runway, oriented northwest-southeast, produces noise mainly around the immediate area. Consequently, noise from the airport is not expected to impact areas west of Harrison Street, about 7 miles southeast of the Specific Plan limits. Any future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would not be affected by this airport as the Specific Plan area is northwest of this airport. Due to the distance from the airport, the Specific Plan area is unlikely to experience excessive noise from airport operations. No impacts would occur. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. Noise Mitigation Measures • NOI-1: Noise Reduction All construction activities shall adhere to the City Construction Hours/Quality Assurance Program for designated construction hours, and equipment with internal combustion engines must be equipped with manufacturer-recommended mufflers. Future development projects shall use noise-reducing paving materials during temporary construction activities, such as open-grade asphalt, for all road surfacing, as feasible. 789 Environmental Analysis – Population and Housing City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-88 3.14 Population and Housing Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: 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? ✓ Currently, the City of La Quinta has a vibrant population (estimated at 40,000 residents), with expectations of growth in the years ahead. As the City continues to attract new residents and businesses, there is a pressing need to develop its areas thoughtfully, particularly focusing on sustainable practices. The Highway 111 Corridor, a central hub for commercial activities, is slated for development that integrates mixed -use spaces and fosters walkability and connectivity. This approach aims to streamline City functions, ensuring that as the City expands, it does so in a sustainable and community-oriented manner that enhances the overall quality of life for its residents. Through the implementation of the Specific Plan, the Highway 111 Corridor would integrate residential development and mixed-uses alongside its current commercial development, promoting a community design that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists to enhance overall quality of life and mobility throughout the City. The City must participate in regional efforts mandated by Senate Bill 375 (SB 375), a California state law focused on curbing urban sprawl, promoting sustainable community planning, and cutting down on vehicle trips and air emissions to reduce greenhouse gases. This law mandates "Sustainable Community Strategies" crafted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), aiming to promote concentrated development, mixed-use areas near job centers, bus routes, and commercial services (City of La Quinta, 2022). The proposed Project's Development Moderate Scenario is projected to introduce around 1,000 residential units (equivalent to 1,464,000 GSF) and approximately 339,000 GSF of additional retail, commercial, hotel, restaurant, and civic spaces within the Specific Plan area. In contrast, the Specific Plan's Development Max Scenario aims to incorporate roughly 1,600 residential units (totaling 1,837,000 GSF) and about 526,000 GSF of new retail, commercial, hotel, restaurant, and civic spaces into the area. The Development Moderate Scenario estimates a total development of approximately 1,803,000 GSF, while the Development Max Scenario estimates approximately 2,363,000 GSF – a 31.08% increase in developed area along the Highway 111 Corridor. See Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 for more information on development area scenarios and land use build out. 790 Environmental Analysis – Population and Housing City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-89 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)? Less than Significant Impact: The Specific Plan is intended to provide guidance for the organized development and redevelopment of local infrastructure, businesses, and housing along the Highway 111 Corridor. The City aims to create a cohesive blueprint that integrates shopping, living, working, and recreational spaces in one interconnected area. This space would be accessible through Highway 111, the CV Link, and other multi-use paths. The implementation of the Specific Plan is expected to take place gradually over a period of 20 to 25 years. If economically feasible, the completion of Specific Plan build out could result in an additional residential area from 1,464,000 GSF (Development Moderate Scenario) to 1,837,000 GSF (Development Max Scenario) for the Highway 111 Corridor. Moreover, including residential units along the Highway 111 Corridor would create housing opportunities in an area traditionally focused on commercial activities, thereby introducing a more diverse and beneficial mix of uses in the region in a sustainable manner. As a guidance document, the proposed Specific Plan does not contain detailed designs or specific proposals for particular sites, nor does it provide authorization for any development activities. Nevertheless, potential enhancements within the Specific Plan area could involve the construction of new residential or commercial properties, which may result in a direct or indirect population increase within the designated area. Even if all the residential, commercial, and hotel developments envisioned by the Specific Plan were built, the population growth associated with these developments would occur gradually over an extended period. Furthermore, any future improvements would likely reference and tier off of this CEQA document to evaluate potential impacts related to population growth and development. Therefore, the overall impact on population growth would be deemed less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Project area along the Highway 111 Corridor is currently zoned primarily for commercial purposes, featuring shopping centers, restaurants, and office spaces. This area has traditionally focused on big box retail with limited residential options. However, the proposed Project aims to increase residential opportunities in alignment with the La Quinta General Plan and Municipal Code. This approach ensures that the Specific Plan would not displace individuals or housing but rather diversify land use to accommodate additional residential development. Given its inefficient use of space and sprawling commercial developments, the Highway 111 Corridor presents an opportunity to improve its walkability and accessibility. The proposed development outlined in the Specific Plan seeks to revitalize the area by drawing more people and optimizing land use in the region, thereby encouraging a more dynamic and accessible environment. By promoting land use types that support residential growth, the Specific Plan mitigates potential significant impacts on populati on resulting from the proposed development scenarios and improvements along the Highway 111 Corridor. As such, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 791 Environmental Analysis – Public Services City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-90 3.15 Public Services Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) 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? ✓ Highway 111 serves as a crucial arterial corridor in the City of La Quinta, facilitating essential routes for emergency services and access to public facilities. It not only connects the northern residential neighborhoods with the bustling southern commercial core but also links other residences, schools, and public facilities along its path. Highway 111 intersects with Washington Street, a prominent north-south thoroughfare within the City that links Highway 111 to the Civic Center Campus located to the south. Public facilities encompass City-owned buildings such as City Hall, the Library, and the Senior Center, which collectively form the Civic Center Campus. Additionally, facilities include schools operated by either the Desert Sands Unified School District or the Coachella Valley Unified School District. The City is supported by the Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD), offering fire protection and emergency medical services not only to the City itself but also to neighboring areas within Riverside County. Law enforcement services and the protection of public safety are overseen by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department (RCSD). The City features 12 parks that offer a variety of recreational activities and amenities, ensuring both residents and visitors have numerous opportunities for outdoor enjoyment and community gatherings (City of La Quinta, 2022). However, there are no parks located within the Specific Plan area. Most of the City's parks and greenspaces are located outside the Highway 111 Corridor; this route acts as a vital connection, allowing residents to seamlessly access these recreational areas beyond the urban commercial core. Residents of the City currently enjoy access to 72 acres of parks, 146.75 acres of nature preserves with recreational parkland, and 845 acres of regional parks. The City also has joint use agreements with Desert Sands, neighboring cities, and the Desert Recreation District for the use of additional recreation facilities (City of La Quinta, 2022). The proposed development under this Specific Plan seeks to enhance connectivity throughout the City, transforming Highway 111 from a principally vehicular thoroughfare into a unified, integrated corridor for active transportation. The emphasis would be on fostering mixed-use developments that cater to pedestrian and multimodal transportation needs, thereby creating a cohesive urban environment. This approach aims 792 Environmental Analysis – Public Services City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-91 to blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces seamlessly, promoting a more vibrant and accessible cityscape. As development progresses along the Highway 111 Corridor, there may be heightened demand for fire protection, emergency services, and public facilities, including parks. This growth could necessitate the hiring of additional staff and the construction of new facilities to adequately support the expanding corridor. The General Plan's Emergency Services Element, Public Facilities Element, and Parks and Recreation Element specifically address future requirements for fire, emergency response, and public amenities. 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 public services? Less Than Significant Impact: Possible improvements within the designated Specific Plan area might entail the development of new or expanded residential or commercial properties, potentially leading to a population increase, either directly or indirectly. This may increase the demand for the following public services: 1. Fire Protection and Emergency Services: The proposed Project is aimed at promoting development, which could lead to a rise in demand for fire protection services. As a result, there would likely be a need for both additional personnel and new facilities to accommodate the anticipated growth in the Specific Plan area. The City’s General Plan acknowledges the need for expanded fire protection services to meet demands associated with future population growth. Although strategic placement of fire stations is present, additional fire stations would likely be needed in areas where growth occurs (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future development under the Specific Plan could increase the need for additional fire protection and emergency services. Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant as future development would be required to pay Development Impact Fees (DIF) to help offset impacts to fire and emergency services and would be required to be consistent with the following policies from the City’s General Plan: • Policy ES-1.1: The City shall continue to work with the Riverside County Fire Department to accurately forecast future needs and provide adequate and timely expansion of services and facilities based on service capabilities and response times. − Program ES-1.1a: Maintain the Fire Facilities component of the City’s Development Impact Fee to assure that new development pays its fair share of future fire stations. • Policy ES-1.2: New Development proposals shall continue to be routed to the Fire Department to assure that project access and design provide for maximum fire and life safety. • Program ES-1.8a: Periodically review and update the Emergency Operations Plan to address the City’s growth in population and built environment, as well as new emergency response techniques. 2. Police Protection: The development proposed in the Specific Plan could act as a catalyst for growth, potentially increasing the demand for police protection services. Therefore, there may be a necessity for additional personnel and the construction of new police facilities to adequately accommodate the growth along the Highway 111 Corridor. The City’s General Plan acknowledges the potential need for increased police protection services to accommodate population growth. The City follows the standard of one police officer per 1,000 residents (City of La Quinta, 2022). Should 793 Environmental Analysis – Public Services City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-92 future development prompted by this Specific Plan result in a rise in residential units and population, additional officers may be necessary. Impacts on police protection services are expected to be less than significant as future development would be required to pay DIF fees to help offset impacts to police services and development would be required to be consistent with the following policies from the City’s General Plan: • Policy ES-1.5: The City shall continue to work with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to accurately forecast future needs and provide adequate and timely expansion of services and facilities. • Policy ES-1.6: New development proposals shall continue to be routed to the Police Department to assure that project access and design provide for defensible space and maximum crime prevention while maintaining City design standards and codes. 3. Schools: Local schools are managed by two public school districts that offer education from kindergarten through Grade 12: the Desert Sands Unified School District and the Coachella Valley Unified School District (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Desert Sands Unified School District currently serves the corridor area. Although there are no public schools from these districts in the Specific Plan area, population growth, including an increase in school age children, is possible with development facilitated by the Specific Plan. The anticipated population growth could increase the demand for school services and potentially create the need for new or physically altered school facilities. Schools could be built on properties near the Highway 111 Corridor or on sites within the corridor that are served by existing infrastructure. Future development within the corridor area would be required to pay school fees, in the amount set at the time of building permit issuance, to offset any impacts created by additional residential units. As such, impacts on schools are anticipated to be less than significant. The Specific Plan would be consistent with the following policies from the City’s General Plan: • Policy PF-1.6: The City shall coordinate with the Desert Sands and Coachella Valley Unified School Districts and encourage the Districts to plan for and construct new schools to meet demand. 4. Parks: No parks are located within the Specific Plan area; however, the CV Link is a multi-modal trail system that runs along the Whitewater River at the north boundary of the corridor area and would be available for new residents and patrons in the corridor. It is assumed that population growth would result in an increase in demand for neighborhood and regional parks and other recreational facilities. This Specific Plan supports the creation of additional recreational spaces and pocket parks along the Highway 111 Corridor and a trail connector along the northern side of Highway 111 to connect with the CV Link. The proposed development outlined by this Specific Plan would enhance and potentially expand recreational facilities within the City without causing impacts beyond those anticipated by the City’s General Plan. The City’s General Plan includes goals and policies to maintain current parks and facilities and to acquire additional parkland for future population growth, as listed below. Section 3.16, Recreation, provides a more detailed overview of the City's recreational assets. The Specific Plan would be consistent with the following policies from the City’s General Plan: • Goal PR-1: A comprehensive system of parks and recreation facilities and services that meet the active and passive needs of all residents and visitors. • Policy PR-1.1 Expand or modify community services to meet the health, well-being, and recreational needs of the community. 794 Environmental Analysis – Public Services City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-93 • Policy PR-1.2: Continue to provide a minimum standard of 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. • Policy PR-1.3: Identify all viable financing mechanisms for the funding of construction, maintenance, and operation of parks and recreational facilities. • Policy PR-1.4: The design and construction of parks and recreational facilities shall comply with all the development standards that apply to privately constructed facilities. • Policy PR-1.5: Coordinate with partner agencies and neighboring communities to expand recreational opportunities and access to recreational facilities. • Policy PR-1.6: Encourage patterns of development that promote safe pedestrian and bicycle access to schools, public parks, and recreational areas. • Policy PR-1.7: Identify opportunities to integrate public health concerns into parks and trails planning. • Policy PR-1.8: Promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all residents. 5. Other Public Facilities: Public facilities include City-owned buildings, such as City Hall, the Wellness Center, and the Library, also known as the Civic Center Campus. The General Plan acknowledges that an increase in population would likely require the expansion of public facilities to serve the City’s anticipated future growth. The City’s CIP is updated annually and would play a key role in the planning and construction of future facilities (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future development would be subject to DIF fees which would offset impacts to public facilities Additionally the Specific Plan would be consistent with the following policies from the City’s General Plan: • Policy PF-1.1: The City shall expand or modify municipal services to meet the needs of the community. • Policy PF-1.2: Periodically evaluate the demand for municipal services and facilities, and include construction and expansion of these facilities to assure timely completion. • Policy PF-1.3: The City shall identify all viable financing mechanisms for the funding of construction, maintenance and operation of municipal facilities. • Policy PF-1.4: The design and construction of municipal facilities shall comply with all the processes and development standards that apply to privately constructed facilities. • Policy PF-1.5: The City shall coordinate with the County of Riverside to assure that library facilities and services are expanded as demand warrants. • Policy PF-1.6: The City shall coordinate with the Desert Sands and Coachella Valley Unified School Districts and encourage the Districts to plan for and construct new schools to meet demand. • Policy PF-1.7: The City shall continue to explore the potential for the joint purchase or use of recreational facilities with the Desert Sands and Coachella Valley Unified School Districts, as well as the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 795 Environmental Analysis – Recreation City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-94 3.16 Recreation Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) 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) Include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? ✓ The City currently operates 12 City parks, the Civic Center Campus, and three nature preserve areas. La Quinta Park is the closest park to the Project area outlined in this Specific Plan. Most City parks have children's playground facilities, and the nature preserves offer hiking and bicycling trails for public recreation. The CV Link is currently under construction which would provide a multi-modal trail for La Quinta and CV residents. In addition, many existing subdivisions include public pocket parks. Two regional parks – La Quinta Community Park (6.5 acres) and Lake Cahuilla Regional Park (845 acres) – are managed by the Desert Recreation District and Riverside County Parks Department, respectively. Lake Cahuilla Regional Park charges user fees for day visitors, fishing, and camping. The City collaborates with the Desert Sands Unified School District to share recreational facilities on school grounds, such as the Sports Complex at La Quinta Middle School and soccer fields at Colonel Mitchell Paige Middle School. The City is also home to one public and 22 privately owned and operated golf courses, with seven courses available for public use. In total, La Quinta has approximately 5,259 acres designated as recreational open space (City of La Quinta, 2022). a) 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? Less Than Significant Impact: The objective of the proposed Specific Plan is to offer a clear direction for the systematic development and redevelopment of local infrastructure, businesses, and housing. This may lead to a population increase, which may increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks and other recreational facilities. However, by adhering to the City’s General Plan, which recognizes that a population increase would necessitate the expansion of public facilities to accommodate growth, no substantial physical deterioration of such facilities would occur (City of La Quinta, 2022). The Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan identifies current and projected demand for park s as the City grows. Adherence to the City’s General Plan would ensure that existing park and recreational facilities are expanded in parallel with population increases. Therefore, impacts on neighborhood and recreational facilities are anticipated to be less than significant. Relevant Policies from the General Plan: • Policy PR-1.1 through PR-1.8 Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 796 Environmental Analysis – Recreation City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-95 b) Include or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Less Than Significant Impact: Population growth resulting directly or indirectly from the implementation of development scenarios in the Specific Plan may necessitate the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. The Quimby Act, also known as the Quimby Act of 1975 (California Government Code Sections 66477-66484), mandates that local governments require developers to either dedicate land or pay fees for park and recreational purposes when subdividing land or securing a residential development p ermit. The Act’s aim is to guarantee sufficient park and recreational facilities and accompany new residential developments, thereby balancing urban expansion with the demand for public open spaces. The Quimby Act empowers local governments to manage the impact of new residential projects on community parks and recreational amenities. The Quimby Act sets a minimum threshold of 3.0 acres of parklands per 1,000 residents ; however, the City has a policy of providing a minimum of 5.0 acres of open space per 1,000 residents. The General Plan acknowledges that expansion of recreational facilities would be needed as the City grows and would be regularly updating the City’s Community Service Master Plan to consider a growing demand for services well in advance of need. By adhering to the Land Use, Natural Resources and Parks and Recreational Elements of the City’s General Plan, as well as the Community Service Master Plan, impacts to recreational facilities are expected to be less than significant. Relevant Policies from the General Plan: • Policy PR-1.1 through PR-1.8 Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 797 Environmental Analysis – Transportation City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-96 3.17 Transportation Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? ✓ b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? ✓ c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? ✓ d) Result in inadequate emergency access? ✓ Roadways Highway 111 The Highway 111 Corridor is a six-lane roadway that accommodates upwards of 28,700 vehicles daily (Replica: Hwy 111 WB W/O Washington St, 2023). Within the study area, Highway 111 has a six-lane divided cross-section with 50-mph posted speed limits. There are eight signalized intersections, located at Highway 111 and Washington Street, Simon Drive, La Quinta Center Drive, Adams Street, La Quinta Drive, Dune Palms Road, Costco Drive, and Jefferson Street. Dedicated left turn lanes are provided at all signalized intersections, with nearly all providing dedicated right turn lanes as well. Highway 111 serves as a primary east-west connection through the CV between the City of La Quinta and communities to the northwest, including Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and Indian Wells, and communities to the southeast, including Indio, Coachella, and communities surrounding the Salton Sea and the Imperial Valley. Washington Street Within the study area, Washington Street is a divided six-lane major arterial with a landscaped median, with three left turn lanes and right turn pockets in both directions respectively at the intersection with Highway 111. This portion of Washington Street has a 50-mph posted speed limit and accommodates upwards of 17,900 vehicles daily (Replica: Washington St NB S/O Hwy 111, 2023). Washington Street does not accommodate on-street parking, as the surrounding land use is inward-facing residential and surface lot- facing retail. Signage instructs bicyclists to share the sidewalk on the east side of Washington Street with pedestrians. Adams Street Within the study area, Adams Street is a divided four-lane secondary arterial with a landscaped median between Highway 111 and Avenue 48, with two left turn lanes and right turn pockets in both directions respectively at the intersection with Highway 111. This portion of Adams Street has a 45-mph posted speed limit and accommodates upwards of 3,540 vehicles daily (Replica: Adams St NB N/O Hwy 111, 2023). Adams Street does not accommodate on-street parking due to lane configuration and widths north of 798 Environmental Analysis – Transportation City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-97 Highway 111 and the presence of Class II bike lanes, both buffered and non-buffered, south of Highway 111. Dune Palms Road Within the study area north of Highway 111, Dune Palms Road is an undivided four-lane secondary arterial with two left turn lanes and a right turn pocket at the intersection with Highway 111. South of Highway 111, Dune Palms Road is a divided four-lane arterial with two left turn lanes and a right turn pocket at the intersection with Highway 111. This portion of Dune Palms Road has a 45-mph posted speed limit and accommodates upwards of 2,890 vehicles daily (Replica: Dune Palms Rd NB N/O Hwy 111, 2023). Dun e Palms Road does not accommodate on-street parking between Highway 111 and Avenue 48 as there are Class II bike lanes on either side. Partial Class II bike lanes and adjacent land use preclude on-street parking north of Highway 111. Jefferson Street Within the study area, Jefferson Street is a divided six-lane major arterial with a landscaped median, with three left turn lanes and right turn pockets in both directions respectively at the intersection with Highway 111. This portion of Jefferson Street has a 55-mph posted speed limit and accommodates upwards of 18,300 vehicles daily (Replica: Jefferson St SB N/O Hwy 111, 2023). Jefferson Street does not accommodate on-street parking due to the presence of Class II bike lanes. Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities With the suburban nature of the City of La Quinta, multimodal infrastructure is available, including sidewalk and bicycle lanes along and adjoining Highway 111, however, it is often disconnected and distances between destinations are spread out due to the auto-oriented land use patterns along the corridor. Within the study area, pedestrian infrastructure is located along both sides of Highway 111, apart from segments with sidewalk gaps along undeveloped parcels, including east of La Quinta Drive (north side ) and east of Dune Palms Road (north side). Sidewalks are most often 8 feet wide, exhibit serpentine alignment, and are separated from motor vehicle traffic by landscape buffers. Crosswalks are provided at signalized intersections of Highway 111/Washington Street (east side only), Highway 111/Simon Drive, Highway 111/La Quinta Center Drive, Highway 111/Adams Street, Highway 111/La Quinta Drive, Highway 111/Dune Palms Road, Highway 111/Costco Drive (east side crossing only), and Highway 111/Jefferson Street. Existing bicycle facilities are sporadic and disconnected, with most portions of Highway 111 containing some form of bicycle facilities in at least one direction, but few, if any, connected to form a complete segment. Class II bicycle lanes are provided along portions of Highway 111 west and east of Washington Street (eastbound only), east of Simon Drive (eastbound only), east of La Quinta Center Drive (eastbound only), west of Adams Street (westbound only), between Adams Street and Dune Palms Road (both directions), and between Dune Palms Road and Jefferson Street (westbound only). Due to the number of vehicle lanes, high speeds, and bike infrastructure lacking physical separation between active modes and motor vehicles, the segment level of traffic stress on nearly all study area roadways is LTS 4 or LTS 3. Segment LTS 1 is found on Simon Drive and La Quinta Center Drive due to fewer lanes and slower speeds. Construction is ongoing for the planned CV Link project, an alternative transportation project connecting eight cities and two tribes in the CV, providing a regional multi-use path for bicycles and pedestrians that parallels the Highway 111 Corridor to the north throughout the Specific Plan area. The CV Link would provide an alternative to automobile travel for residents and visitors, reducing vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and providing alternative mobility options for people of all ages an d abilities. 799 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-98 Public Transit Existing regional transit routes in the study area include Route 1EV, Route 7, Route 700, and Route 701, all operated by SunLine Transit Agency. Route 1EV runs on Highway 111, connecting Town Center Way in Palm Desert (and connecting transit routes, like Route 1WV) with the City of Coachella. Route 7 provides transit service between the communities of Bermuda Dunes and La Quinta, connecting with the Highway 111 Corridor along Adams Street. Routes 700 and 701 are school “tripper buses” providing supplemental transit service to and from La Quinta High School on school days. Airports The Bermuda Dunes Airport is a public use airport located along Avenue 42 adjacent to the Jefferson Street/I-10 interchange approximately 2.7 miles north of the study area. Additionally, the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport is approximately 8 miles southeast of the study area in Thermal, California. a) Conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? No Impact: The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan includes urban design concepts that outline the proposed streetscape enhancements envisioned for the Highway 111 Corridor area. The Specific Plan would potentially increase traffic in the area along Highway 111. The CV Link's proximity to Highway 111 brings several advantages. First and foremost, it allows for enhanced accessibility, with multiple access points and entryways along the route, making it convenient for users to connect to various neighborhoods, businesses, parks, and other points of interest throughout the region. Additionally, being closely aligned with the highway can increase visibility and awareness, promoting the usage of the pathway among the public. The Project proposes several complete street improvements in the study area to create a multimodal corridor that is safe and comfortable for all users. Transportation improvements include reduced vehicular travel lane widths, signs, and pavement markings, enhanced bicycle and pedestrian facilities like Class II bike lanes, green conflict striping, widened sidewalks, curb extensions (bulb-outs), high visibility crossing treatments, and reduced vehicular conflict zones. Additionally, the Specific Plan would be consistent with the City’s General Plan Circulation Goal, CIR-1, as outlined below: • 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. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? No Impact: The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is not anticipated to conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 criteria for analyzing transportation impacts effective July 1, 2020 concerning VMT. The VMT screening described below meets the requirements stipulated by CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 (b) and incorporates relevant advice contained in the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA published by the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research (OPR) in December 2018. Section 15064.3 of the State CEQA Guidelines describes the requirements for assessing transportation impacts based on VMT that applied statewide beginning July 1, 2020. As described in Section 15064.3: 800 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-99 • “Vehicle miles traveled” refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel “attributable to a project.” Other relevant considerations may include the effects of the project on transit or nonmotorized travel. As described separately in the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (OPR, December 2018), VMT re-routed from other origins or destinations as the result of a project would not be attributable to a project except to the extent that the re-routing results in a net increase in VMT. For example, OPR guidelines note that retail projects typically re-route travel from other retail destinations, and therefore a retail project may lead to increases or decreases in VMT, depending on previously existing travel patterns. Similarly, a large share of retail trips are “pass-by trips” that would not be considered attributable to a retail project. • Lead agencies have discretion to choose the most appropriate methodology to evaluate a project’s vehicle miles traveled, including whether to express the change in absolute terms, per capita, per household, or any other measure. • If existing models or methods are not available to estimate the vehicle miles traveled for the particular project being considered, a lead agency may evaluate the project’s vehicle miles traveled qualitatively. • A lead agency may use models to estimate a project’s vehicle miles traveled and may revise those estimates to reflect professional judgment based on substantial evidence. VMT Screening The City’s Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis Policy indicates that 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. The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan covers multiple Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) of the Riverside County Transportation Model (RIVTAM/RIVCOM), including TAZ 913, 920, 926, 929, 930, and 937. Based on the model, the citywide VMT per Capita is 14.98 while the VMT for the Specific Plan area TAZs are as follows: • TAZ 913: 12.92 • TAZ 920: 12.50 • TAZ 926: 12.74 • TAZ 929: 0.00 • TAZ 930: 11.45 • TAZ 937: 0.00 The VMT for each TAZ is lower than the City threshold for the base year (2018). Based on these findings, the Specific Plan does not require a VMT analysis as there is no impact . Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 801 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-100 c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? No Impact: The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is not anticipated to substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan recommends the implementation of protected intersections, curb extensions, lane width reductions, turn lane reductions, Class II bike lanes with green conflict markings, high-visibility crosswalks, and Class I shared-use paths along the Highway 111 Corridor. Transportation improvements along other key corridors in the study area include roundabouts, curb extensions, reduced lane widths, Class II bike lanes with green conflict markings, and high-visibility crosswalks. With these recommended infrastructure improvements, the Specific Plan aims to reduce hazards by reducing pedestrian crossing distances, providing high visibility crossing treatments, and reducing vehicular conflict zones. The General Plan includes policies that would ensure efficient circulation and adequate access are provided in the City. Future development under the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, as part of the City’s project approval process, would be required to comply with existing regulations, including General Plan policies and zoning regulations that have been prepared to minimize impacts related to design features. Adherence to state and City requirements, combined with compliance with the City’s General Plan and zoning regulations, would ensure that the adoption of the proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would result in no impact with respect to an increase in hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact: The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is not anticipated to result in inadequate emergency access. The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan proposes mixed-use development along the corridor, enhancing pedestrian and bicycle access, implementing parking solutions, and increasing the density of residential and commercial spaces. This aims to foster a more connected and community-centered downtown area. Roadway improvements proposed under the Specific Plan would enhance the connectivity and mobility of the downtown area and would not impede emergency vehicle access. As previously stated, transportation improvements along the Highway 111 Corridor focus on enhancing safety for pedestrians and vehicles through improved visibility at crosswalks and minimizing areas of vehicular conflict. Furthermore, the City’s General Plan includes policies that would ensure adequate emergency access. Future development within the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, as part of the City's project approval process, must adhere to current regulations. These include General Plan policies and zoning regulations specifically designed to mitigate impacts concerning emergency access. The City, throughout the multi-year buildout period of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, would ensure relevant coordination with local emergency response providers. Adherence to state and City requirements, combined with compliance with the City’s General Plan and zoning regulations, would ensure that the adoption of the proposed Specific Plan would result in no impact with respect to inadequate emergency access. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 802 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-101 3.18 Tribal Cultural Resources Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources, or in a local register of historic resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)? ✓ b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of the Public Resources Code section 5024.1? In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of the Public Resources Code section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe. ✓ The La Quinta area is home to the Desert Cahuilla Indians, who were the first ancestors of the La Quinta area, settling into the Martinez Canyon in the early 1800s (SCTCA, 2024). The CEQA Guidelines define a tribal cultural resource as: (1) a site, feature, place, cultural landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe that is listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources, or on a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k); or (2) a resource determined by the Lead Agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant according to the historical register criteria in Public Resources Code Section 5024.1(c), and considering the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe. AB 52 established a formal consultation process for California tribes within the CEQA process. AB 52 must be completed before a CEQA document can be certified. AB 52 specifies that any project may affect or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that would require a lead agency to “begin consultation with a California Native American Tribe that is traditional and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed Project.” Section 21074 of AB 52 also defines a new category of resources under CEQA called “tribal cultural resources.” Tribal cultural resources are defined as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe” and is either listed on or eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) or a local historic register, or if the lead agency chooses to treat the resource as a tribal cultural resource. California Native American Tribes to be included in the process are those that have requested notice of projects proposed within the jurisdiction of the Lead Agency. Native American Consultation On March 14, 2024, the City initiated the tribal consultation process for the purposes of AB 52, in conjunction with SB 18 consultation for the Specific Plan, for the proposed Project. Initial consultation letters were sent to all of the Native American tribal governments listed on the NAHC contact list, per the City’s AB 803 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-102 52 protocol (Appendix C: Cultural Resources). The letters provided a summary of the Project and requested information regarding comments or concerns the tribal governments might have regarding the proposed Project. Letters were sent to the following tribal governments: • Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians • Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians • Cabazon Band of Mission Indians • Cahuilla Band of Indians • Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians • Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians • La Posta Band of Diegueno Mission Indians • Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians • Manzanita Band of Kumeyaay Nation • Mesa Grande Band of Diegueno Mission Indians • Morongo Band of Mission Indians • Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation • Ramona Band of Cahuilla • Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians • Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians • Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians • Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians The City received responses from two tribes: the Morongo Band of Mission Indians and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (Appendix C: Cultural Resources). The Morongo Band stated that the project site is not within their ancestral territory or traditional use area. The Agua Caliente Band indicated that, although the project area is outside their reservation boundaries, it lies within their Traditional Use Area, and a records search identified nearby surveys that confirmed the presence of cultural resources. For a summary of the investigation and mitigation measures related to cultural and tribal resources, see Section 3.5 Cultural Resources and Appendix C: Cultural Resources. a,b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources, or in a local register of historic resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)? Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of the Public Resources Code section 5024.1? In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of the Public Resources Code section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated: As discussed in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, the analysis relies on a search of the SLF conducted by the NAHC on March 8, 2024. The search included a review of the CRHR as well as local registers yielding no specific site information, indicating a negative result. However, it is essential to understand that the absence of such information in the SLF search does not necessarily imply the absence of cultural resources within the Project area. Due to the negative result, the tribes (referenced above) were contacted to satisfy the AB 52 consultation requirement under CEQA. This analysis is also based on a review of cultural records accessed through the CHRIS EIC at the University of California, Riverside. The examination of records occurred on January 22, 2024 involving a comprehensive review of maps, documents, and reports relevant to the Project area. The findings revealed that there have been 92 studies on cultural resources conducted within the approximately 410 acres of the proposed Project area, with 56 documented cultural resource properties identified within its boundaries. 804 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-103 Refer to Appendix C: Cultural Resources for the SLF search results and the Non-Confidential Cultural Records Search report. Potential future development may be required to prepare cultural resources reports to assess site-specific impacts. As mentioned previously, a prior study identified two prehistoric resources (P-33-008692/CA-RIV- 006190, P-33-002936/CA-RIV-002936) in the Project area near Dune Palms Road and Highway 111 (Hallock et al., 2023). As such, if tribal cultural resources are disturbed or discovered during future development, it could result in a significant impact. Therefore, implementing Mitigation Measures CR-1 through CR-9 during subsequent development phases would mandate further documentation of any tribal cultural resources within the Project area, thereby minimizing impacts to a level deemed less than significant. Mitigation Measures • CR-1: Workers Environmental Awareness Program A Qualified Archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS, 1983) shall conduct Workers Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training on archaeological sensitivity for all construction personne l prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find. The WEAP training document shall include materials that convey the information noted above, which shall be maintained in an area accessible to all construction personnel so that it may be reviewed regularly by construction staff. • CR-2: Pre-Excavation Agreement Prior to the issuance of Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner shall enter into a pre -excavation agreement, otherwise known as a Tribal Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement with consulting Tribal Monitor associated within the area. A copy of the agreement shall be included in building and development plans and permit applications with the City. The purpose of this agreement shall be to formalize protocols and procedures between the Applicant/Owner and the consulting Tribal Monitor associated with the area for the protection and treatment of, including but not limited to, Native American human remains, funerary objects, cultural and religious landscapes, ceremonial items, and traditional gathering areas and tribal cultural resources located and/or discovered through a monitoring program in conjunction with the construction of the proposed project, including additional archaeological surveys and/or studies, excavations, geotechnical investigations, grading, and all other ground disturbing activities. At the discretion of the consulting Tribal Monitor, artifacts may be made available for 3D scanning/printing, with scanned/printed materials to be curated at a local repository meeting the federal standards of 36CFR79 . • CR-3: Retention of Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor shall provide executed contracts or agreements with a Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor, at the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor’s expense, to implement the monitoring program, as described in the pre-excavation agreement. 805 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-104 • CR-4: Tribal Cultural Monitor Coordination During Ground Disturbing Activities The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall attend all applicable pre-construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. • CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Native American Monitor shall attend all applicable pre- construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. • CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor can stop ground-disturbing activities if undiscovered tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor can assess the context of the find, including its significance, potential eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and whether the project would have a direct impact on the resource. If buried cultural deposits are encountered, the Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a Qualified Archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation. Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site. Minor finds include archaeological materials that are isolated, lack context, and are unlikely to indicate a larger or significant site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially significant, the involved Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well. For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal values. The Tribal Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not collect the resources, the Tribal Monitor may do so. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. • CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources unearthed during all ground disturbing activities, and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on-site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial 806 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-105 and/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation. • CR-8: Tribal Cultural Monitoring Report A monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the archaeological monitoring program (e.g., data recovery plan) shall be submitted by the Qualified Archaeologist, along with the consulting Tribal Monitor’s notes and comments, to the City of La Quinta Planning Division for approval. • CR-9: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains As specified by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found on the Project site during construction or during archaeological work, the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately notify the Riverside County Coroner’s Office by telephone. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the Coroner Medical Examiner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code 5097.98. If such a discovery occurs, a temporary construction exclusion zone shall be established surrounding the area of the discovery so that the area would be protected, and consultation and treatment could occur as prescribed by law. If suspected Native American remains are discovered, the remains shall be kept in-situ, or in a secure location in close proximity to where they were found, and the analysis of the remains shall only occur on-site in the presence of a Tribal Monitor. By law, the Coroner Medical Examiner shall determine within two working days of being notified if the remains are subject to his or her authority. If the Coroner Medical Examiner identifies the remains to be of Native American ancestry, he or she shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The NAHC shall make a determination as to the Most Likely Descendent. If human remains are discovered, notify the consulting Tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. 807 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-106 3.19 Utilities and Service Systems Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electrical power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? ✓ b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? ✓ c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? ✓ d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? ✓ e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? ✓ As the City continues to grow, the provision of essential public and quasi-public services becomes increasingly critical. This is especially true for areas like the Highway 111 Corridor, where utilities play a pivotal role in supporting future development. Adequate utilities – such as water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications – are fundamental for implementing the Specific Plan. Without these services, the planned development and expansion could be significantly hindered or even unachie vable. Ensuring robust and reliable utility infrastructure is, therefore, essential for accommodating growth and achieving the City's long-term vision for development. The Specific Plan would create a mix of land uses guided by site-specific development standards (i.e., Highway 111 Development Code) to ensure alignment with the City's General Plan. It would also encourage water conservation features, such as low-flow plumbing fixtures, drought-tolerant native landscaping, and efficient irrigation systems. The City’s General Plan recognizes the need for sufficient water, sewer, and other utilities to support planned growth and anticipated population increases in the coming years. The Water, Sewer and other Utilities Element as well as the Natural Resources : Water Resources Element of the General Plan establishes goals, policies, and programs to ensure these services are provided as the City grows (City of La Quinta, 2022). Relevant General Plan policies are outlined in detail below in response to question b). 808 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-107 Domestic Water The City of La Quinta relies primarily on groundwater from the CV Groundwater Basin for its domestic water supply. This groundwater is extracted through a network of wells managed by the CVWD, which also oversees the City's irrigation and water distribution services. In addition to groundwater, CVWD supplements the City's water needs with imported water, delivered via regional canals. This imported water is stored or recharged into the aquifer through basins located in the west end of the Valley, such as the Whitewater River northwest of Palm Springs, as well as through facilities in Martinez Canyon and a dike in the southeastern section of the City. CVWD operates and maintains an extensive water distribution system, primarily located beneath existing streets in the public right-of-way. CVWD also manages water storage tanks throughout the area with capacities ranging from 250,000 to 10 million gallons (City of La Quinta, 2022). Under the California Water Code, CVWD is responsible for assessing both current and future water supplies to ensure that adequate resources are available for the City's land uses. This includes the preparation of an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to address and plan for the City's ongoing and future water needs. Sanitary Sewer CVWD also manages sanitary sewer collection and treatment for the City, with most areas served by sewer systems, though some parts of the City still use septic systems. The City is served by two wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater from the northern part of the City, north of Miles Avenue, is directed to Water Reclamation Plant 7 on Madison Street and Avenue 38, which has a capacity of 5 million gallons per day (mgd). Wastewater from areas south of Miles Avenue is treated at the Mid-Valley Water Reclamation Plant, located southeast of the City, with a capacity of 9.5 mgd. Water Reclamation Plant 7 currently produces 2.5 mgd of tertiary treated water for irrigation, with the potential to expand to 7.5 mgd. The Mid-Valley plant does not yet provide tertiary treated water, but there are plans to extend this system to other areas (City of La Quinta, 2022). Electricity Power in the City is supplied by the IID, a public utility serving various parts of Southern California. IID delivers power through its own generation and contractual agreements, with electricity transmitted at 92 or 161 kilovolts to its substations and then reduced to 12 kilovolts for distribution (City of La Quinta, 2022). Natural Gas Natural gas is the main energy source in the City of La Quinta, supplied by Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), the largest natural gas utility in the U.S. with extensive coverage across southern California. Major gas supply lines run along Washington Street and Highway 111. However, natural gas service is less extensive in the southern part of the City, especially south of Airport Boulevard and east of Monroe Street (City of La Quinta, 2022; City of La Quinta, 2024c). Solid Waste Management Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services, LLC (Burrtec) manages solid waste disposal in La Quinta. Burrtec collects waste and transport it to the Edom Hill Transfer Station in Cathedral City, where it is then sent to regional landfills with sufficient long-term capacity: Lamb Canyon, Badlands, or El Sobrante. Burrtec also oversees recycling for residential and commercial sectors, covering paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, and 809 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-108 green waste. The City meets its requirement to recycle at least 50% of its waste. Additionally, Burrtec handles special programs for household hazardous waste, construction and demolition materials, medical sharps, and commercial recycling (City of La Quinta, 2022; City of La Quinta, 2024c). Telecommunications In the City, Verizon serves as the primary landline telephone provider, while Time Warner is the main cable TV provider. The City has seen a range of communication options evolve due to advancements in technology and changes in regulations. Residents and businesses now have access to various services, including cellular, internet-based communication, fiber optic networks, and cable-based solutions. Several telecommunications companies such as Spectrum, which offers cable TV, internet, and phone services , AT&T, which provides internet, phone, and TV services, and Frontier Communications, which delivers internet and phone services with varying availability, cater to these needs (City of La Quinta, 2022). As the City continues to grow, it is anticipated that new technologies would further enhance communication and data transfer capabilities for both its residents and businesses. a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electrical power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact: Under the Specific Plan, if the proposed buildout is economically feasible, it is expected to lead to a substantial increase in the construction of new buildings and utilities as well as the expansion of existing ones. This growth would entail the addition of significant square footage dedicated to various purposes, including residential, retail, office spaces, and hotels. Consequently, there would be a heightened demand for essential utilities and infrastructure to support these developments effectively. To accommodate the increased requirements of such development, various utility facilities would need to be constructed or expanded. These utilities may encompass water supply and distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, stormwater drainage systems, electrical power infrastructure, natural gas distribution networks, and telecommunications facilities. Each of these systems plays a crucial role in providing the necessary resources for the functioning of residential and commercial properties, ensuring that businesses can thrive and residents have access to essential services. To address the potential environmental impacts associated with this buildout, the Specific Plan emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Water, Sewer, and Other Utilities Element within the City’s General Plan. This element outlines comprehensive guidelines and regulations regarding the development and management of utility facilities based on current and future projected population growth within the City. Additionally, the Natural Resources: Water Resources Element of the City’s General Plan is another crucial aspect considered in this context, which focuses on water resource management and conservation to meet the needs of current and future development within the City. By adhering to these General Plan guidelines and the goals outlined by this Specific Plan, developers and authorities can ensure that future construction and expansion of utility facilities are conducted in sustainable manner. Additionally, future development in the Specific Plan area will utilize this impact analysis for environmental assessments, offering a programmatic overview that will likely be tiered from this document to evaluate impacts on new or expanded utilities within the area. As such, impacts on utility systems as a result of this Specific Plan implementation are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 810 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-109 b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: As the new developments under the Specific Plan commence, they would require a reliable and adequate water supply to meet the needs of their occupants and operations. This includes not only the water required for residential purposes but also for commercial activities, hotel services, landscaping, and other essential functions within these structures. To accommodate the heightened demand, proper planning and management of water resources become crucial. This may involve assessing the existing water infrastructure and identifying potential upgrades or expansions to ensure sufficient supply to meet the new demand. It might also require exploring sustainable water management practices, such as rainwater harvesting, water recycling, or implementing water -efficient technologies and fixtures, to minimize excessive water consumption. CVWD is responsible under the California Water Code for evaluating current and future water supplies to meet district needs. The UWMP is regularly updated to ensure it remains current. Due to ongoing growth and increased demand, CVWD has overdrafted from the Lower Thermal subarea since the 1980s. To address this, CVWD is expanding recharge facilities and emphasizing water conservation, crucial for managing overdraft as the city continues to grow. Additionally, all new residential and nonresidential buildings in California must follow the CalGreen Codes. These codes mandate a 20% reduction in indoor water use through efficient fixtures and require irrigation systems that prevent waste by monitoring soil and weather conditions. Please refer to California Department of General Services for the most recent CalGreen Codes (DGS, 2024). Over the next 25 years, the codes would become progressively stricter to further conserve water (City of La Quinta, 2022). All new development projects would necessitate domestic water for indoor use and landscaping irrigation, which would put additional strain on the already limited water resources. To address this, the City has already taken steps to implement water conservation initiatives and would need to persistently and further expand these efforts to safeguard its water resources (City of La Quinta, 2022). By adhering to the goals and objectives outlined in the City’s General Plan as well as this Specific Plan, future development can reduce potential impacts on water resources to a less than significant level with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measure HWQ-2. Relevant Policies from the General Plan: • Policy WR-1.1: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to supply adequate domestic water to residents and businesses. • Policy WR-1.2: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to recharge the aquifer. • Policy UTL-1.1: The City should coordinate with the Coachella Valley Water District to assure that sufficient water supplies are available to sustain current and future development. • Policy UTL-1.2: The City should encourage the conservation of water. − Program UTL-1.2a: Develop programs, both in conjunction with the Coachella Valley Water District and independently, to allow and encourage the retrofitting of existing water-intensive appliances and irrigation systems in existing development − Program UTL-1.2b: City and private sector development projects shall implement water efficient landscaping plans which meet or exceed current water efficiency standards. 811 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-110 • Policy UTL-1.3: New development shall reduce its projected water consumption rates over “business-as-usual” consumption rates. • Policy UTL-1.4: Review and amend Development Standards to require that all new development demonstrate a reduction of domestic water consumption equivalent to, or exceeding, the CalGreen Tier One standards in effect at the time of development. Mitigation Measures: HWQ-2. c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? Less Than Significant Impact: Future development scenarios outlined in the Specific Plan would likely increase the need and demand for wastewater treatment. Future development would need to adhere to Building Code requirements that mandate the incorporation of water-efficient fixtures in new homes or businesses and in those undergoing major remodeling. These regulations also apply to water features, and fountains, as they can be a significant source of water loss, especially considering the evaporation that occurs in the City's desert environment. The City also mandates that all development projects must manage and regulate rainwater runoff that flows through a developed site, typically achieved by constructing retention basins. These basins are often landscaped and designed to enable stormwater to soak into the ground, promoting natural percolation (City of La Quinta, 2022). Therefore, future development under the Specific Plan would be required to adhere to these requirements. The Specific Plan offers conceptual guidance for future development. Developers can reference this Specific Plan and if needed, create a tiered CEQA document to further assess the need for expanding existing wastewater treatment facilities or adding individual septic systems to accommodate growth in the area. As such, impacts are expected to be less than significant. Relevant Policies from the General Plan: • Policy WR-1.3: Support the Coachella Valley Water District in its efforts to expand tertiary treated (i.e. reclaimed) water distribution. • Policy WR-1.4: Protect stormwater from pollution and encourage its use to recharge the aquifer. • Policy WR-1.6: Encourage the use of permeable pavements in residential and commercial development projects. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. d, e) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Less than Significant Impact: As development continues to grow under the Specific Plan, there would be a corresponding rise in the volume of solid waste generated. Burrtec provides waste disposal services under a franchise agreement with the City, collecting solid waste and transporting it to the Edom Hill Transfer Station in Cathedral City. From there, waste is taken to one of three regional landfills – Lamb 812 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-111 Canyon, Badlands, or El Sobrante – which have sufficient capacity for long-term needs (City of La Quinta, 2022). Thus, impacts are expected to be less than significant. All future developments would be required to comply with the diversion requirements, Municipal Code requirements and the City’s General Plan policies. These requirements would maximize waste stream diversions and help reduce solid waste disposal impacts related to compliance with federal, state , and local regulations related to the solid waste generated from future development in accordance with the Specific Plan. The City is committed to recycling at least 50% of its solid waste, a target it currently meets. Burrtec manages specialized programs for household hazardous waste, construction materials, medical "sharps," and commercial recycling (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future site-specific development would be required to abide by relevant laws and regulations governing solid waste disposal treatment. As such, impacts associated with solid waste are expected to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. Utilities and Service Systems Mitigation Measures • HWQ-2: Water Conservation Measures Future development in the Highway 111 Corridor must integrate water-saving appliances and fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucets, in compliance with Section 17921.3 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 20 of the California Administrative Code Section 1601(b), and relevant sections of Title 24 of the California State Code. Additionally, the City would enforce its Water Efficient Landscape ordinance, requiring development projects within the Specific Plan area to adopt water-efficient landscaping plans that meet or exceed current criteria. These measures are aimed at conserving water resources while addressing the needs of residents and businesses. 813 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-112 3.20 Wildfire Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? ✓ 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 sources, 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 slop instability, or drainage changes? ✓ The Project area is located in the City’s urban core and is not in proximity to a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (CAL FIRE, 2023). The nearest moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zone is approximately 5 miles southwest of the Project area. a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less Than Significant Impact: The LHMP for the City underscores a commitment to construction regulations that prioritize safety. This involves adopting and rigorously enforcing existing building codes, with provisions for promptly amending them when local deficiencies are identified, all aimed at ensuring the community's safety. All new construction projects are required to adhere to the City's Building or Fire Codes to ensure all future development meets the prescribed minimum standards for fire safety. These standards are determined by factors such as the building type, design, intended occupancy, and usage. To further enhance fire safety measures, the City has entered into an agreement with the RCFD for comprehensive fire services. These services encompass not only firefighting capabilities but also extend to community outreach initiatives aimed at promoting fire safety awareness and prevention strategies (City of La Quinta, 2022). Future developments would be required to implement the LHMP and General Plan policies regarding emergency response and evacuation; therefore, impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 814 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-113 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? Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed area under the Specific Plan is not considered a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (CAL FIRE, 2023). While the City itself may not be situated within a wilderness expanse, the potential for wildland fires within its vicinity remains substantial due to the juxtaposition of wildland and urban zones. The extensive development in the City and surrounding environment has resulted in what is known as the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), a terrain that presents a heightened susceptibility to wildland fires. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the prevalence of extended drought periods and the prevalent aridity in these locales, rendering them particularly prone to wildfires (City of La Quinta, 2022). Furthermore, the influence of Santa Ana winds provides an additional fire safety concern. These winds possess the capability to swiftly propagate wildfires across the community. The threat of wildland fire occurrences extends far beyond isolated areas; it blankets approximately 90% of Riverside County, reaching into the City. This includes open spaces, parklands, and agricultural regions. Therefore, the issue of wildland fire hazards is a complex concern with wide-reaching implications for the entire region. This underscores the need for comprehensive attention and strategic actions to effectively manage and mitigate the associated risks. (City of La Quinta, 2022). Development under the Specific Plan would include the development of Medium-Hazard Occupancies as defined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), however, by adhering to and enforcing established mandates, such as the California Building Code, California Fire Code, La Quinta Municipal Codes, CEQA Statutes and Guidelines, and other pertinent fire safety regulations, the mitigation of fire- related risks can be effectively managed (La Quinta, 2022). Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Less Than Significant Impact: The Specific Plan serves as a policy-level document designed to guide future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. Consequently, any future projects within the Specific Plan area will likely reference and tier off of this CEQA document to further assess infrastructure constraints related to fire risks. Additional discussion of water sources and utilities can be found in Section 3.19 of this IS/MND. Future projects may necessitate additional infrastructure to adequately support new development. Any future development would require further CEQA review to ensure that proposed improvements do not entail infrastructure that could worsen wildfire risks. The adoption and implementation of developments under the Specific Plan would not significantly exacerbate wildfire risks above existing conditions. As such, impacts are considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 815 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-114 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? Less than Significant Impact: As described previously, the Specific Plan does not include any site- specific designs for development and is only intended to serve as a guidance document for the City in implementing future development along the Highway 111 Corridor. The Specific Plan area occupies a predominantly flat terrain and is generally not susceptible to downslope flooding or landslides due to its topographic features. As such, future development along the Project area is not anticipated to 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. Portions of the Project area that are adjacent to the Whitewater River Wash are located within Special Flood Hazard Areas; however, these areas have between 0.2% and 1% annual chance of flooding with average depths of less than one foot or with drainage areas of less than one square mile. There are no FEMA-regulated floodways identified within the Project area (FEMA, 2024). Impacts are deemed less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures required. 816 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-115 3.21 Mandatory Findings of Significance Potentially Significant Impact Less-than- Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated Less-than- Significant Impact No Impact Does the project: a) 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) 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) Have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ✓ 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? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: As outlined in Section 3.4, Biological Resources, the proposed Specific Plan is expected to have no direct impact on biological resources. Future improvements under the Specific Plan would comply with relevant federal, state, and local regulations. The implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 would ensure construction personnel receive environmental awareness training to mitigate potential impacts on special -status species and their habitats. Similarly, BIO- 2 would establish best practices to minimize impacts on natural habitats and wildlife. Furthermo re, implementation of BIO-3 would guide the protection of special-status and migratory birds during construction, and BIO-4 would provide specific guidance on focused burrowing owl surveys. Mitigation Measures BIO-5 and BIO-6 offer strategies for reducing nonessential lighting to safeguard wildlife at the Project site, as well as guidance on securing approval from CDFW under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code for any impacts to a stream or riverbed. Lastly, BIO-7 would emphasize adherence to conservation measures specified in the CVMSHCP. Together, these measures would effectively reduce impacts to species and their habitats to less than significant levels. Similarly, as detailed in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, the proposed Specific Plan is not expected to impact significant periods of California history or cultural and historic resources. Future developments 817 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-116 outlined in the Specific Plan would be subject to mitigation measures CR-1 through CR-9, ensuring that any unearthed resources are properly managed. With the implementation of these cultural mitigation measures, impacts to cultural and historic resources are anticipated to be reduced to less than significant levels. Mitigation Measures: BIO-1 through BIO-7, and CR-1 through CR-9. 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)? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Cumulative impacts are defined as “two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15355). Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor, but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time. This Specific Plan aligns with the City’s General Plan policies and goals as well as City Codes. Evidence in this Finding of Consistency shows no new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the City’s General Plan. The General Plan envisions the Highway 111 Corridor evolving into a prime mixed-use area, reflecting its goals for innovative development. This Specific Plan would guide the transformation of Highway 111 to improve quality of life for residents, employees, and visitors, envisioning it as a standout destination offering a variety of memorable experiences. Future development guided by this Specific Plan may have cumulative impacts on air quality, natural resources, hazards, cultural/tribal resources, public services, and population and housing. While future development along the Highway 111 Corridor would lead to some environmental changes, potential impacts associated with these environmental disciplines are expected to be minor or mitigated to a less significant level through recommended measures in the Specific Plan. This approach would also ensure that any contribution to cumulative impacts remains minimal. Table 3.5 below provides a brief list of present and reasonably foreseeable future projects near or within the Project area, including a description of the projects and their anticipated construction schedules (if known). Identified projects are summarized below. Table 3.5.

The impacts associated with the proposed Specific Plan would not add appreciably to any existing or foreseeable future significant cumulative environmental impact. Incremental impacts, if any, would be negligible. All potential direct and indirect impacts of the Project can be avoided or minimized to a level that is considered insignificant, as summarized in Appendix A: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). Consequently, the proposed Project's cumulative impacts are not considered significant, as any applicable impacts it may contribute to would be mitigated to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measures: BIO-1 through BIO-7, CR-1 through CR-9, AIR-1, GEO-1, HAZ-1, HAZ-2, HWQ-1, HWQ-2, and NOI-1. c) Does the project have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated: Future development contemplated by the proposed Specific Plan could potentially lead to environmental impacts related to air quality, geology and soils, hazardous materials, water quality, noise, and utilities. While the Specific Plan itself does not involve construction, it serves as a guide for future development. The IS/MND for the Specific Plan ensures compliance with regulations to mitigate these potential impacts. Mitigation Measures AIR-1, GEO-1, HAZ-1, HAZ-2, HWQ-1, HWQ-2, and NOI-1 would help lessen environmental impacts by minimizing pollutants and conserving natural resources, thereby reducing direct health risks and indirect effects on important ecosystems that support human well-being. With these measures in place, the Specific Plan is expected to avoid significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. Mitigation Measures: AIR-1, GEO-1, HAZ-1, HAZ-2, HWQ-1, HWQ-2, and NOI-1. 819 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-118 Mandatory Findings of Significance Mitigation Measures: • BIO-1: Assessment of Biological Resources and Worker Environmental Awareness Training Prior to Project construction activities for all projects covered in this IS/MND, a complete and recent inventory of rare, threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species located within the Project footprint and within offsite areas with the potential to be affected, including California Species of Special Concern and California Fully Protected Species (Fish and Game Code § 3511), will be completed. Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species -specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during periods of drought. An environmental training program should be developed and presented by a qualified biologist to all crew members prior to the beginning of all Project construction in natural areas planned for development. The training should describe special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive habitats that could occur within the Project area, protection afforded to these species and habitats, and avoidance and minimization measures required to avoid and/or minimize impacts from the project. All new construction personnel should receive this training before beginning work on this Project. A copy of the training and training materials should be provided to construction crews for review and approval at least 30 days prior to the start of construction. As needed, in-field training should be provided to new on-site construction personnel by the qualified biologist or a qualified individual who should be identified by the qualified biologist, or initial training should be recorded and replayed for new personnel. • BIO-2: General Measures for Plants and Wildlife When working in the natural habitat areas, the number of access routes, number and size of staging areas, and the total area of the activity should be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the project goal. Routes and boundaries outside of normal acc ess roads should be clearly delineated through fencing or flagging. Food, trash, and other solid wastes should be disposed of in Common Raven proof/wildlife proof, covered refuse containers and regularly removed from the various structures and facilities on a daily basis to avoid offsite dispersal of waste and to avoid attracting wildlife onto the Project site. Following covered activity work, all trash and debris should be removed from the work area. Construction work should avoid direct destruction of burrows through chaining (dragging a heavy chain over an area to remove shrubs), disking, cultivation, and urban, industrial, or agricultural development. 820 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-119 Project-related excavations greater than 6 inches deep should be secured to prevent wildlife entry and entrapment. Holes and trenches should be back-filled, securely covered, or fenced. Excavations that cannot be fully secured should incorporate appropriate wildlife ramp(s) at a slope of no more than a 3:1 ratio (horizontal: vertical, equivalent to a 33.3 percent or 18.4-degree slope), or other means to allow trapped animals to escape. Personnel on site should be required to check under their vehicles for sensitive species prior to moving them and should exercise caution while driving on the Project site. Before moving, burying, or capping, inspect for wildlife in any construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures that are stored on the site for one or more nights. Alternatively, cap structures before storing on the work site. • BIO-3: Special Status and Migratory Birds Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct and or indirect effects to protected nesting birds. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 100 feet for passerines and 300 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored at least once a week or as needed by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. • BIO-4: Burrowing Owl Habitat Assessment and Focused Pre-Construction Surveys No less than 60 days prior to the start of Project-related activities for all projects covered in the MND, a burrowing owl habitat assessment shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the specifications of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Department of Fish and Game, March 2012 or most recent version) for all projects covered under the MND. If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed 821 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-120 buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate California Endangered Species Act (CESA) authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. • BIO-5: Artificial Light Impacts Throughout construction and the lifetime operation of all projects covered in the IS/MND the City and Project proponents shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/). The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler. • BIO-6: CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration (LSA) Program Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the Project Sponsor shall obtain written correspondence from CDFW stating that notification under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code is not required for the Project, or the Project Sponsor should obtain a CDFW-executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, authorizing impacts to Fish and Game Code Section 1602 resources associated with the Project. • BIO-7: Project Adherence to the CVMSHCP All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the HCP’s jurisdiction (CVMSHCP, 2016). The Project is outside of a designated Conservation Area, and a Joint Review Project is not required. However, the LDMF to the CVCC is required for development projects. Submission of the LDMF to the CVCC is recommended before building or grading permits are submitted. Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit for all projects covered in the IS/MND, the City shall ensure compliance with the CVMSHCP and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. 822 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-121 Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities, for all project areas covered in the IS/MND that contain suitable habitat for sand-dependent Covered Species, the City will collaborate with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission to plan and implement a salvage of sand- dependent Covered Species within the Project site. • CR-1: Workers Environmental Awareness Program A Qualified Archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS, 1983) shall conduct Workers Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training on archaeological sensitivity for all construction personne l prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find. The WEAP training document shall include materials that convey the information noted above, which shall be maintained in an area accessible to all construction personnel so that it may be reviewed regularly by construction staff. • CR-2: Pre-Excavation Agreement Prior to the issuance of Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner shall enter into a pre -excavation agreement, otherwise known as a Tribal Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement with the consulting Tribal Monitor associated within the area. A copy of the agreement shall be included in building and development plans and permit applications with the City. The purpose of this agreement shall be to formalize protocols and procedures between the Applicant/Owner and the consulting Tribal Monitor associated with the area for the protection and treatment of, including but not limited to, Native American human remains, funerary objects, cultural and religious landscapes, ceremonial items, and traditional gathering areas and tribal cultural resources located and/or discovered through a monitoring program in conjunction with the construction of the proposed project, including additional archaeological surveys and/or studies, excavations, geotechnical investigations, grading, and all other ground disturbing activities. At the discretion of the consulting Tribal Monitor, artifacts may be made available for 3D scanning/printing, with scanned/printed materials to be curated at a local repository meeting the federal standards of 36CFR79. • CR-3: Retention of Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor shall provide a written and signed letter to the City of La Quinta Planning Division stating that a Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor have been retained at the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor’s expense to implement the monitoring program, as described in the pre -excavation agreement. • CR-4: Tribal Cultural Monitor Coordination During Ground Disturbing Activities The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall attend all applicable pre-construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to 823 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-122 identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. • CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure To detect important archaeological artifacts and cultural resources during monitoring, a "Controlled Grade Procedure" must be created by a Qualified Archaeologist. This will be done in consultation with the consulting Tribal Monitor, relevant consulting Tribes, and the Applicant/Owner, and needs approval from City representatives. The procedure will set guidelines for machinery work in sensitive areas identified during cultural resource monitoring. It will cover aspects like operating speed, removal increments, weight, and equipment features. A copy of this procedure must be included in the Grading Plan submissions for Grading Permits. • CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor can stop ground-disturbing activities undiscovered tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the Qualified Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor can assess the context of the find, including its significance, potential eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and whether the project would have a direct impact on the resource. If buried cultural deposits are encountered, the Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a Qualified Archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation. Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site. Minor finds include archaeological materials that are isolated, lack context, and are unlikely to indicate a larger or significant site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially significant, the involved consulting Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well. For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal values. The Tribal Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not collect the resources, the Tribal Monitor may do so. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. • CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources unearthed during all ground disturbing activities, and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on-site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial and/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation. • CR-8: Tribal Cultural Monitoring Report A monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the archaeological monitoring program (e.g., data recovery plan) shall be 824 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-123 submitted by the Qualified Archaeologist, along with the consulting Tribal Monitor’s notes and comments, to the City of La Quinta Planning Division for approval. • CR-9: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains As specified by California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found on the Project site during construction or during archaeological work, the person responsible for the excavation, or his or her authorized representative, shall immediately notify the Riverside County Coroner’s Office by telephone. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the Coroner Medical Examiner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code 5097.98. If such a discovery occurs, a temporary construction exclusion zone shall be established surrounding the area of the discovery so that the area would be protected, and consultation and treatment could occur as prescribed by law. If suspected Native American remains are discovered, the remains shall be kept in-situ, or in a secure location in close proximity to where they were found, and the analysis of the remains shall only occur on-site in the presence of a consulting Tribal Monitor. By law, the Coroner Medical Examiner shall determine within two working days of being notified if the remains are subject to his or her authority. If the Coroner Medical Examiner identifies the remains to be of Native American ancestry, he or she shall contact the NAHC within 24 hours. The NAHC shall make a determination as to the Most Likely Descendent. If human remains are discovered, notify the consulting Tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. • AIR-1: Localized Significance Assessment Prior to the issuance required discretionary permits, new development projects in the Specific Plan area, if subject to CEQA compliance, must demonstrate that the proposed development would either not exceed applicable the SCAQMD’s LST lookup tables or not exceed the respective ambient air quality thresholds for CO, NOX, and PM10 and PM2.5. • GEO-1: Protect Paleontological Resources during Construction Activities Prior to ground disturbing activities, all field personnel will receive training on paleontological resources, including potential fossils that may be discovered and response steps, while a qualified paleontologist will prepare a Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (PRMMP). If fossils (like bones, teeth, or well-preserved plants) are found during construction, the City will stop work within 50 feet and notify a paleontologist to document and assess the find. The paleontologist may allow work to continue or recommend salvaging the fossils if necessary and will suggest appropriate treatment methods. Collected fossils will be sent to an accredited institution for curation and preservation. All earth-moving operations deeper than two feet must have a qualified paleontological monitor. Continuous monitoring is needed if fossil-rich lakebed sediments are found. The monitor can stop work to identify and salvage fossils and may halt equipment for large specimens. A monitoring plan must be submitted to the City before any permits are issued or soil is disturbed. Grading and excavation must comply with La Quinta Code and regulations. After ground disturbing activities and any necessary fossil curation, the project paleontologist will prepare a final report detailing the results of the PRMMP. 825 Environmental Analysis City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 3-124 • HAZ-1: Hazardous Materials Handling and Planning New development projects in the Specific Plan area must comply with local, state, and federal regulations by submitting development plans and permits to the City for review. Projects intending to use or store hazardous materials must prepare a Spill Prevention Countermeasure Contingency Plan (SPCC) outlining spill containment protocols, along with maintaining an onsite SPCC spill kit. Additionally, developments proposing storage and use of hazardous materials above reporting thresholds must create a Hazardous Materials Business Emergency Plan (HMBEP) as per Chapter 6.95 of the California Health & Safety Code and Title 19, Division 2 of the California Code of Regulations. The HMBEP requires approval from the County of Riverside CUPA and the Department of Environmental Health prior to business operation commencement. • HAZ-2: Phase I and/or Phase II Site Assessment Projects within the Specific Plan area that involve excavation at locations with recorded Cortese List sites must undergo a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and where necessary, Phase II sampling. If the Phase I assessment identifies the need for remediation, the project sponsor must adhere to all remediation and abatement directives specified by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), or relevant regulatory agencies. • HWQ-1: Stormwater Management Practices Prior to the issuance of City building permits, all projects within the Specific Plan area that disturb one acre or more of land must prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This plan shall outline suitable Best Management Practices (BMPs) for managing and treating runoff from future development site(s). The applicant is accountable for both preparing and executing the SWPPP in accordance with NPDES requirements. Additionally, the applicant must submit a Notice of Intent to the State Water Resource Control Board, obtain a Waste Discharge ID Number (WDID), and ensure a copy of the SWPPP is present at the development site throughout the construction phase. • HWQ-2: Water Conservation Measures Future development in the Highway 111 corridor must integrate water-saving appliances and fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucets, in compliance with Section 17921.3 of the Health and Safety Code, Title 20 of the California Administrative Code Section 1601(b), and relevant sections of Title 24 of the California State Code. Additionally, the City will enforce its Water Efficient Landscape ordinance, requiring development projects within the Specific Plan area to adopt water-efficient landscaping plans that meet or exceed current criteria. These measures are aimed at conserving water resources while addressing the needs of residents and businesses. • NOI-1: Noise Reduction All construction activities shall adhere to the City Construction Hours/Quality Assurance Program for designated construction hours, and equipment with internal combustion engines must be equipped with manufacturer-recommended mufflers. Future development projects shall use noise-reducing paving materials, such as open-grade asphalt, for all road surfacing. 826 References City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan 4-1 4 References CAL FIRE.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(d) states: When making the findings required in subdivision (a)(1), the CEQA Lead Agency shall also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. These measures must be enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(a) states: This section applies when a public agency has made the findings required under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of section 15 091 to adopt a mitigated negative declaration in conjunction with approving a project. In order to assure that the mitigation measures and project revisions identified in the negative declaration are implemented, the public agency shall adopt a program for monitoring or reporting on the revisions which it has required in the project and the measures it has imposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects. Mitigation Measures Mitigation Measures Monitoring or Reporting Action Timing of Monitoring or Reporting Action Responsible Party Compliance Verification Date Air Quality AIR-1: Localized Significance Assessment Prior to the issuance required discretionary permits, new development projects in the Specific Plan area, if subject to CEQA compliance, must demonstrate that the proposed development would either not exceed applicable the SCAQMD’s Localized Significance Thresholds (LST) lookup tables or not exceed the respective ambient air quality thresholds for CO, NOX, and PM10 and PM2.5. Future development in the Highway 111 Corridor must demonstrate compliance with SCAQMD’s LSTs look up tables and or ambient air quality thresholds. Prior to Construction Qualified Construction Contractor Biological Resources BIO-1: Assessment of Biological Resources and Worker Environmental Awareness Training Prior to Project construction activities for all projects covered in this IS/MND, a complete and recent inventory of rare, th reatened, endangered, and other sensitive species located within the Project footprint and within offsite areas with the potential to be affected, including California Species of Special Concern and California Fully Protected Species (Fish and Game Code § 3511), will be completed. Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species -specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during periods of drought. An environmental training program should be developed and presented by a qualified biologist to all crew members prior to the beginning of all Project construction in natural areas planned for development. The training should describe special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive habitats that could occur within the Project area, protection afforded to these species an d habitats, and avoidance and minimization measures required to avoid and/or minimize impacts from the project. All new construction personnel should receive this training before beginning work on this Project. A copy of the training and training materials should be provided to construction crews for review and approval at least 30 days prior to the start of construction. As needed, in-field training should be provided to new on-site construction personnel by the qualified biologist or a qualified individual who should be identified by the qualified biologist, or initial training should be recorded and replayed for new personnel.. Brief construction workers on the biology and life history of federally listed, state listed, and state special status species in the area. Prior to Construction Qualified Biologist / Qualified Construction Contractor 834 Mitigation Measures Monitoring or Reporting Action Timing of Monitoring or Reporting Action Responsible Party Compliance Verification Date BIO-2: General Measures for Plants and Wildlife When working in the natural habitat areas, the number of access routes, number and size of staging areas, and the total area of the activity should be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the project goal. Routes and boundaries outside of normal access roads should be clearly delineated through fencing or flagging. Food, trash, and other solid wastes should be disposed of in Common Raven proof/wildlife proof, covered refuse containers and regularly removed from the various structures and facilities on a daily basis to avoid offsite dispersal of waste and to avoi d attracting wildlife onto the Project site. Following covered activity work, all trash and debris should be removed from the work area. Construction work should avoid direct destruction of burrows through chaining (dragging a heavy chain over an area to remove shrubs), disking, cultivation, and urban, industrial, or agricultural development. Project-related excavations greater than 6 inches deep should be secured to prevent wildlife entry and entrapment. Holes and trenches should be back-filled, securely covered, or fenced. Excavations that cannot be fully secured should incorporate appropriate wildlife ramp(s) at a slope of no more than a 3:1 ratio (horizontal: vertical, equivalent to a 33.3 percent or 18.4-degree slope), or other means to allow trapped animals to escape. Personnel on site should be required to check under their vehicles for sensitive species prior to moving them and should exer cise caution while driving on the Project site. Before moving, burying, or capping, inspect for wildlife in any construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures that are stored on the site for one or more nights. Alternatively, cap structures before storing on the work site.. Conduct pre-construction surveys to check for nesting activity no later than 14 days before Project activities begin. Construction activities and equipment to be kept within designated areas. Proper storage and handling of materials. Prior to and during Construction Qualified Biologist/ Qualified Construction Contractor BIO-3: Special Status and Migratory Birds Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct and or indirect effects to protected nesting birds. Pre -construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avi an biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 100 feet for passerines and 300 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and bas ed on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, wh ich shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored at least once a week or as needed by the qualified biolo gist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. Pre-construction surveys, If active nests or burrows are found within 500 feet of construction, an ornithologist should mark a buffer around them, and construction should avoid these areas until the young have fledged or nesting activity has ended. Activities that may disturb nesting shall be prohibited from the buffer zone. Prior to and during Construction Qualified Biologist/ Ornithologist 835 Mitigation Measures Monitoring or Reporting Action Timing of Monitoring or Reporting Action Responsible Party Compliance Verification Date BIO-4: Burrowing Owl Surveys No less than 60 days prior to the start of Project-related activities for all projects covered in the MND, a burrowing owl habitat assessment shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the specifications of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Department of Fish and Game, March 2012 or most recent version) for all projects covered under the MND. If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indic ated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate California Endangered Species Act (CESA) authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fis h and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project -related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most re cent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoida nce and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities..

The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project site, to identify any evidence of potential archaeological or tribal cultural resources. All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. Collaboration with consulting Native American Monitor. During Construction Qualified Archaeologist and Native American Monitor CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure To detect important archaeological artifacts and cultural resources during monitoring, a "Controlled Grade Procedure" must be created by a Qualified Archaeologist. This will be done in consultation with the consulting Tribal Monitor, relevant consulti ng Tribes, and the Applicant/Owner, and needs approval from City representatives. The procedure will set guidelines for machinery work in sensitive areas identified during cultural resource monitoring. It will cover aspects like operating speed, removal increments, weight, and equipment features. A copy of this procedure must be included in the Grading Plan submissions for Grading Permits. Qualified Archaeologist and Native American Monitor to be present at pre- construction meetings and during ground disturbing activities. A written “Controlled Grade Procedure” shall be prepared. Prior to Construction Qualified Archaeologist and Native American Monitor CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Tribal Monitor can stop ground -disturbing activities if undiscovered tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the Qualified Arc haeologist and Tribal Monitor can assess the context of the find, including its significance, potential eligibility for the California R egister of Historical Resources (CRHR), and whether the project would have a direct impact on the resource. If buried cultu ral deposits are encountered, the Archaeologist and Tribal Monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a Qualified Archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation. Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site. Minor finds include archaeological materials that are isolated, lack context, and are unlikely to indicate a larger or significant site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially s ignificant, the involved Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well. For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal val ues. The Tribal Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not coll ect the resources, the Tribal Monitor may do so. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. If archaeological resources are discovered, they shall be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist. Determine eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures. During Construction Qualified Archaeologist / Native American Monitor CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources unearthed during all ground disturbing activities, and fro m any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on -site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial an d/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation. Any unearthed tribal cultural resources shall be returned to the affiliated consulting Tribe.

During Construction Qualified Archaeologist and Native American Monitor Geology GEO-1: Protect Paleontological Resources during Construction Activities Prior to ground disturbing activities, all field personnel will receive training on paleontological resources, including potential fossils that may be discovered and response steps, while a qualified paleontologist will prepare a Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (PRMMP). If fossils (like bones, teeth, or well-preserved plants) are found during construction, the City will stop work within 50 feet and notify a paleontologist to document and assess the find. The paleontologist may allow work to continue or recommend salvaging the fossils if necessary and will suggest appropriate treatment methods. Collected fossils will be sent to an accredited institut ion for curation and preservation. All earth-moving operations deeper than two feet must have a qualified paleontological monitor. Continuous monitoring is needed if fossil-rich lakebed sediments are found. The monitor can stop work to identify and salvage fossils and may halt equipment for large specimens. A monitoring plan must be submitted to the City before any permits are issued or soil is disturbed. Grading and excavation must comply with La Quinta Code and regulations. After ground disturbing activities and any necessary fossil curation, the project paleontologist will prepare a final report detailing the results of the PRMMP. Prepare a PRMMP. If fossils are encountered, divert construction activities within 50 feet and follow procedures as appropriate. All earth-moving operations deeper than two feet must have a qualified paleontological monitor. During Construction Professional Paleontologist Hazards HAZ-1: Hazardous Materials Handling and Planning New development projects in the Specific Plan area must comply with local, state, and federal regulations by submitting development plans and permits to the City for review. Projects intending to use or store hazardous materials must prepare a S pill Prevention Countermeasure Contingency Plan (SPCC) outlining spill containment protocols, along with maintaining an onsite SPCC spill kit. Additionally, developments proposing storage and use of hazardous materials above reporting thresholds must create a Hazardous Materials Business Emergency Plan (HMBEP) as per Chapter 6.95 of the California Health & Safety Code and Title 19, Division 2 of the California Code of Regulations. The HMBEP requires approval from the County of Riverside CUPA and the Department of Environmental Health prior to business operation commencement. Prepare a SPCCP.

To assist with preparation of the Project’s Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), GHD evaluated the potential for sensitive biological resources (federal or state listed or state special status plants and wildlife, Sensitive Natural Communities, and wetlands) to occur within the Project area and potential impacts to these resources. Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the reconnaissance -level site visit, special status wildlife species have a potential to occur in the Project area. Special status plants may have the potential to occur but would require protocol-level surveys in appropriate blooming seasons to determine presence/absence. No impacts to jurisdictional wetlands or waters, or Sensitive Natural Communities are expected. Regards, Sara Moriarty-Graves Wildlife Biologist 842 11219378 2 1. Introduction The City of La Quinta (City) is proposing a mixed-use development in La Quinta, California (hereafter Project; Appendix A, Figure 1). The proposed Project plan includes development of up to 280 low-income apartment units along the north side of the parcel, and a commercial development on the south side of the parcel, along Highway 111. As part of the development, Corporate Center Drive would be extended to be continuous and separate the residential and commercial portions of the Project area. The 280 residential units are proposed to be a mix of one, two and three bedrooms and would require approximately 350-375 parking spaces. The average unit would be about 850 square feet in area. The residential buildings would be four stories with the units accessed off of a central interior hallway. Each story would have approximately 62 or 63 units. The parking spaces would be provided in three l evels of parking (two story structure with parking on the roof). Bridges would be provided to link the 2nd and 3rd levels of parking to the corresponding residential level. The complex would include common amenities such as a swimming pool, play structures, common areas, operational and maintenance offices, and trash rooms. The commercial development would provide an approximate 85,000 square foot large retail building and 15,000 square foot separate drive through building. The sizes and configuration may v ary based on the final commercial establishments. GHD evaluated the potential for sensitive biological resources (federally or state listed or state special status plants and wildlife, Sensitive Natural Communities [SNCs], and wetlands) to occur within the Project Study Boundary (PSB) and Biological Study Area (BSA; defined as the PSB and a 100-foot buffer to account for associated impacts from the Project; Appendix A, Figure 2). In addition, potential Project impacts to these resources were evaluated. Special status species and resources are the primary focus of this evaluation. Common species or resources without special protections are not considered. The purpose of this biological reconnaissance technical memorandum is to document the results of the February 4, 2023, site visit and provide information to support the Project’s Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to provide a programmatic-level review of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Project. 1.1 Project Location and Existing Setting The BSA is located in the City of La Quinta, which is in the County of Riverside, in between Highway 111 and the Whitewater River (Appendix A, Figure 2). Land cover is classified as shrub/scrub and is surrounded by open developed space to high level of intensity (USGS 2016). The City is located in the Coachella Valley, which is in between the Santa Rosa Mountains and Jacinto Mountains (to the west), Joshua Tree National Park (to the east), and approximately 40 miles from the Salton Sea (to the southeast). The BSA is located within the Whitewater River Watershed. The PSB is 15 acres, and is surrounded by retail stores, businesses, Highway 111, and other roads. The northern section of the BSA borders the Whitewater River. The landscape surrounding the BSA is highly urbanized and developed, with high amounts of vehicular traffic. 2. Survey Methods The following subsections summarize the desktop and field methods utilized to produce this technical memorandum. 2.1 Database Searches (CNDDB, CNPS, EFH, IPaC, NOAA Critical Habitat, and NWI) A database search for sensitive biological resource records in the Project vicinity was conducted by GHD on January 24, 2023. Database searches (Appendix B) included the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFW 2023a), California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered 843 11219378 3 Vascular Plants (CNPS 2023), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC; USFWS 2023), National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) Fisheries Essential Fish Habitat (EFH; NOAA 2023a), and NOAA Critical Habitat (NOAA 2023b). The search encompassed the La Quinta U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle and surrounding eight quads (Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Myoma, West Berdoo Canyon, Indio, Valerie, Martinez Mountain, and Toro Peak). Appendix A, Figure 3 shows all special status species records tracked by the CNDDB that are known to occur within a three-mile radius of the Project. A search of the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) for the Project vicinity was completed on January 24, 2023 (Appendix A, Figure 4; USFWS 2023b). 2.2 Field Survey A reconnaissance field survey was conducted by Sara Moriarty-Graves, GHD Wildlife Biologist, on February 4, 2023, from 09:30 to 11:00. Weather conditions were clear and with light air (Beaufort scale 1), about 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The survey included walking the entire PSB (Appendix A, Figure 2). The BSA was assessed visually from the public street right-of-way. The survey methods were intended to assess the potential for special status resources and habitats that occur within the BSA. The survey involved a physical search of the area, including visual inspections of the ground, holes, and vegetation for the presence of any wildlife species, special status plant species, or SNCs. Additionally, the bark of vegetation and the ground layer under vegetation were visually inspected for evidence of wildlife species, such as feathers, pellets, whitewash, scat, tracks, etc. No protocol-level surveys for wetlands, SNCs, special status plants, or wildlife were conducted. 3. Results The following sub-sections summarize the results of the desktop research and field survey performed for this technical memorandum. 3.1 Summary of General Biological Resources The PSB is a vacant lot located within the city of La Quinta and is surrounded by commercial businesses. There was litter, and signs of foot traffic and vehicle use observed within the BSA. The dominant vegetation within the PSB consisted of creosote (Larrea tridentata). The BSA is bordered to the north by the channelized Whitewater River. No flowing water and minimal moisture within the riverbed was observed. Commercial businesses surround the BSA to the east, south, and west. The other side of the Whitewater River is also developed. Although the BSA is within a developed landscape, there are shrubs and dune habitat that may support special status species. Many small mammal burrows were observed within the BSA, which can be used by other taxa such as birds and reptiles. The BSA also supports common avian species protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (FGC). Photos from the site visit are included in Appendix C (Site Visit Photos). Lists of all species observed within the BSA are provided in Appendix D, Tables D1 to D4. 3.2 Wetlands and Waters The Whitewater River is adjacent to the northern portion of the BSA. The section of river adjacent to the BSA is classified as a riverine intermittent streambed that is intermittently flooded (USFWS 2023b). However, the Whitewater River in the Project vicinity is channelized and is highly modified from its original form. To reduce sedimentation and maintain flows, it is frequently maintained by the Coachella Valley Water District (City of La Quinta 2017). It is characterized as having a mixture of earthen and concrete bottom and slopes and supports some vegetation growth. The channel conveys surface storm water runoff during rain events (City of La Quinta 2017). During the site visit, there was limited puddled water observed within the river (Appendix C, Site Visit Photos). No flowing water was observed, and there were signs of vehicular use within the riverbed. 844 11219378 4 The Project does not involve alteration of the Whitewater River, including the channel and floodplain. There will be no impact to the Whitewater River or jurisdictional wetlands. 3.3 Sensitive Natural Communities (SNCs) A query of CNDDB returned multiple locations of Desert Fan Palm Oasis Woodland (Washingtonia filifera) SNC (G3, S3.2) in the nine quads surrounding the PSB; however, the nearest Desert Fan Palm Oasis to the PSB is over five miles to the northeast. No native fan palms are present in the PSB. The PSB is mainly vegetated by Creosote Bush Scrub (Larrea tridentata), a natural community which is not considered sensitive by CDFW (G5, S5). The Project would not impact any SNCs, as none are present. 3.4 Habitat Conservation Plans and Natural Community Conservation Plans Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs) are site-specific plans to address effects on sensitive species of plants and animals. The BSA is within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), which is an HCP and NCCP implemented by the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC; CDFW 2023b, CVCC 2023). The City of La Quinta has been a participant in the CVMSHCP since 1996. If the project qualifies, the signatories to the CVMSHCP are able to obtain coverage for incidental take for the 21 wildlife and plant species that the CVMSHCP covers (CVCC 2023). The Project is outside of a designated Conservation Area, and a Joint Review Project is not required. However, the Local Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF) to the CVCC is required for development projects. Submission of the LDMF to the CVCC is recommended before building or grading permits are submitted. 3.5 Critical Habitat The BSA does not overlap any federally designated critical habitat (Appendix B, IPaC Report). No impact would result. 3.6 Habitat Connectivity and Access Wildlife corridors refer to established migration routes commonly used by resident and migratory species for passage from one geographic location to another. Maintaining the continuity of established wildlife corridors is important to: a) sustain species with specific foraging requirements, b) preserve a species’ distribution potential, and c) retain diversity among many wildlife populations. Therefore, resource agencies consider wildlife corridors to be a sensitive resource. The Project is approximately seven miles from the nearest “essential connectivity area” and one mile from a “natural landscape block” and “small natural landscape area” identified by the California Habitat Connectivity Project (CDFW 2022c). The BSA is surrounded by existing development, Highway 111, and the highly modified Whitewater River. Due to the level of development existing surrounding the BSA, there would be no impact to the habitat access, connectivity, or migratory corridors of wildlife species. Habitat in the Project vicinity is highly fragmented. No new barriers to terrestrial wildlife movement would result from the Project, and the Project would not substantially interfere with migratory birds, bats, or other species. 3.7 Special Status Plants The database scoping detailed in Section 2.1 produced a total of 66 plant species known to occur in the nine USGS quads surrounding the PSB. Based on species specific habitat requirements and habitat availability within the PSB, three species have a low potential to occur, and seven have a moderate potential to occur (Table 1). Due to the disturbed and isolated nature of the habitat in the PSB, no special status plant species have a high potential to occur. No special status plant species were observed during the site visit on February 4, 2023; however, no protocol level surveys have been conducted and the site visit was outside of the blooming season for some 845 11219378 5 plant species with potential to occur in the PSB. Protocol level surveys will be required to determine if special status plants are present. A list of all plant species detected during the reconnaissance-level site visit are presented in Appendix D, Table D1. 846 The Power of Commitment 11219378 6 Table 1 Potential for Special Status Plants to Occur in the PSB Scientific Name Common Name Status/ CRPR1 Habitat Requirements2 Potential to Occur in the PSB Abronia villosa var. aurita chaparral sand-verbena 1B.1 Chaparral, Coastal scrub, Desert dunes, Sandy No potential.

Low potential: Few of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or the majority of h abitat on and adjacent to the site is unsuitable or of very poor quality. The species is not likely to be found in the PSB. Moderate potential: Some of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or only some of the habi tat on or adjacent to the site is unsuitable. The species has a moderate probability of being found in the PSB.

The species has a high probability of being found on in the PSB. 854 The Power of Commitment 11219378 14 3.8 Special Status Wildlife The database scoping detailed in Section 2.1 returned a total of 86 species (Table 2). The potential for sensitive wildlife species to occur was determined based on existing data and the reconnaissance level site visit. Special status species are federally and/or state listed, a CDFW Species of Special Concern, CDFW Fully Protected, on the CDFW Special Animals List, or any combination of these. The Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard (federally threatened and state endangered) is a listed reptile species with a moderate potential to occur within the BSA based on recent nearby observations (iNaturalist 2023). In addition, there is one special status rodent species (Coachella Valley Round-tailed Ground Squirrel), six bird species, one other reptile species (Flat-tailed Horned Lizard), and one insect (Coachella Valley Giant Sand Treader Cricket) with a moderate potential to occur (Table 2). The Burrowing Owl is a covered species under the CVMSHCP, but is afforded additional protections under FGC and the MBTA and would require additional minimization measures. According to the CVMSHCP, authorization of take for all species with a moderate potential to occur, except the six bird species , can be obtained through compliance with the CVMSHCP and the LDMF paid to the CVCC (CVCC 2023). Minimization measures to reduce impacts to bird species are included in Section 5. Although compliance with the CVMSHCP authorizes take for the covered species, state and federal regulations could require additional minimization measures in subsequent review of CEQA documents. Terrestrial wildlife observed on site are included in Appendix D, Table D2. A lizard and ground squirrel were briefly observed during the site visit and were not able to be identified to species. A list of all bird species detected during the site visit and their associated breeding codes are presented in Appendix D, Tables D3 and D4. As many neotropical avian species have migrated south by fall, Table D4 is not a comprehensive list of all species that could occur throughout the breeding season . In addition, no protocol- level surveys have been conducted. Based on existing habitat and available data, the BSA may support special status species and does support common species. With implementation of the proposed avoidance and minimization measures (Section 5), in addition to compliance with the CVMSHCP, impacts to special status wildlife species would be less than significant. 855 The Power of Commitment 11219378 15 Table 2 Special Status Wildlife Species Potential to Occur within the Project Study Boundary (PSB) and Biological Study Area (BSA) Scientific name Common Name FESA CESA Other CDFW Status1 Habitat2 Potential to Occur Mammals Antrozous pallidus Pallid Bat None None SSC Deserts, grasslands, shrublands, woodlands and forests.

Footnotes: 1 Rankings from CNDDB (January 2023). 2 General habitat, and microhabitat column information, reprinted from CNDDB (January 2023). 872 11219378 32 Other Statuses (other federal or state listings may include): CDFW FP (CDFW Fully Protected Animal): “This classification was the State of California's initial eff ort to identify and provide additional protection to those animals that were rare or faced possible extinction. Lists were created for fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals. Most of the species on these lists have subsequently been listed under the state and/or federal endangered species acts.” (CDFW 2023c); CDFW SSC (CDFW Species of Special Concern): “It is the goal and responsibility of the Department of Fish and Wildlife to maintain viable populations of all native species. To this end, the Department has designated certain vertebrate species as ‘Species of Special Concern’ because declining population levels, limited ranges, and/or continuing threats have made them vulnerable to extinction. The goal of designating species as ‘Species of Special Concern’ is to halt or reverse their decline by calling attention to their plight and addressing the issues of concern early enough to secure their long -term viability” (CDFW 2023c); CDFW WL (California Department of Fish and Wildlife Watch List): “The CDFW maintains a list consisting of taxa that were previously designated as "Species of Special Concern" but no longer merit that status, or which do not yet meet SSC criteria, but for which there is concern and a need for additio nal information to clarify status” (CDFW 2023c). Potential to Occur: No potential: Habitat in and adjacent to the PSB is clearly unsuitable for the species requirements (cover, substrate, elevat ion, hydrology, plant community, site history, disturbance regime). Low potential: Few of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or the majority of habitat on and adjacent to the site is unsuitable or of very poor quality. The species is not likely to be found in the PSB. Moderate potential: Some of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or only some of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is unsuitable. The species has a moderate probability of being found in the PSB. High potential: All of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present and/or most of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is highly suitable. The species has a high probability of being found on in the PSB. Present: Detected or documented on-site. 873 The Power of Commitment 11219378 33 4. Discussion Based on the reconnaissance-level site visit on February 4, 2023, and review of existing data, the BSA may provide suitable habitat for special status wildlife species. In addition, several common avian species were observed on-site that are protected by the MBTA and FGC (Appendix D, Table D2 and D4). Vegetation within and directly adjacent to the BSA could provide suitable nesting habitat for migratory bird species, and other common terrestrial species. No special status plant species were observed during the site visit on February 4, 2023 (Appendix D, Table D1); however, no protocol level surveys have been conducted and the site visit was outside of the blooming season for some plant species with potential to occur in the PSB. Protocol level surveys will be required to determine if special status plants are present. No SNCs were observed during the site visit. Since the Project is within the CVMSHCP’s boundaries, and within an authorized take area, mitigation for four special status species would be accounted for with compliance with the CVMSHCP and through purchase of LDMF’s from the CVCC (CVCC 2023). However, the CVMSHCP does not cover the six special status bird species with a moderate potential to occur , nor birds protected by the MBTA and FGC. Additional measures are recommended in Section 5 for these bird species. 5. Proposed Avoidance and Minimization Measures All Conservation Measures that are applicable within Section 4.4 (Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) and Section 9 (Species Accounts and Conservation Measures) of the CVMSHCP should be implemented by the Project to minimize impacts to plant and wildlife species within the HCP’s jurisdiction (CVMSHCP 2016). Specifically, species with a moderate potential to occur that are encompassed within the CVMSHCP include: Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel, Burrowing Owl, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard, Coachella Valley Fringe-tailed Lizard, and the Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket (CDFW 2023b). In addition, the following measures are recommended for implementation to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. 5.1 Measure BIO-1: Worker Environmental Awareness Training An environmental training program should be developed and presented by a qualified biologist to all crew members prior to the beginning of all Project construction. The training should describe special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive habitats that could occur within the BSA, protection afforded to these species and habitats, and avoidance and minimization measures required to avoid and/or minimize impacts from the project. All new construction personnel should receive this training before beginning work on this project. A copy of the training and training materials should be provided to construction crew for review and approval at least 30 days prior to the start of construction. As needed, in-field training should be provided to new on-site construction personnel by the qualified biologist or a qualified individual who sh ould be identified by the qualified biologist, or initial training sh ould be recorded and replayed for new personnel. 5.2 Measure BIO-2: Protect Special Status Plants Avoidance measures for special status plant species are addressed collectively for all species. Impacts to special-status plant species present or likely to be present onsite shall be minimized, avoided, and (if necessary) compensated by complying with the following: - Seasonally appropriate pre-construction surveys for special status plant species should occur prior to construction within the planned area of disturbance for the project, during the appropriate blooming time (spring and summer) for the target species. Survey methods should comply with CDFW rare plant survey protocols and should be performed by a qualified field botanist. Surveys 874 11219378 34 should be modified to include detection of juvenile (pre-flowering) colonies of perennial species when necessary. Any populations of special status plant species that are detected should be mapped. Populations should be flagged if avoidance is feasible and if populations are located adjacent to construction areas. - The locations of any special status plant populations to be avoided should be clearly identified in the contract documents (plans and specifications). - If special status plant populations are detected where construction would have unavoidable impacts, a compensatory conservation plan should be prepared and implemented in coordination with CDFW. Such plans may include salvage, propagation, on-site reintroduction in restored habitats, and monitoring. 5.3 Measure Bio-3: General Measures for Plants and Wildlife - When working in the dune habitat areas, the number of access routes, number and size of staging areas, and the total area of the activity should be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the project goal. Routes and boundaries outside of normal access roads sh ould be clearly delineated through fencing or flagging. - Food, trash, and other solid wastes should be disposed of in Common Raven proof/wildlife proof, covered refuse containers and regularly removed from the various structures and facilities on a daily basis to avoid offsite dispersal of waste and to avoid attracting wildlife onto the project site. Following covered activity work, all trash and debris should be removed from the work area. - Construction work should avoid direct destruction of burrows through chaining (dragging a heavy chain over an area to remove shrubs), disking, cultivation, and urban, industrial, or agricultural development. - Project-related excavations greater than 6 inches deep should be secured to prevent wildlife entry and entrapment. Holes and trenches should be back-filled, securely covered, or fenced. Excavations that cannot be fully secured should incorporate appropriate wildlife ramp(s) at a slope of no more than a 3:1 ratio (horizontal: vertical, equivalent to a 33.3 percent or 18.4 -degree slope), or other means to allow trapped animals to escape. - Personnel on site should be required to check under their vehicles for sensitive species prior to moving them and should exercise caution while driving on the Project site. - Before moving, burying, or capping, inspect for wildlife in any construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures that are stored on the site for 1 or more nights. Alternatively, cap structures before storing on the work site. 5.4 Measure Bio-4: Special Status and Migratory Birds Potential Project impacts to six special status birds and common birds protected by the MBTA and FGC during construction may include visual disturbance, habitat destruction, and noise disturbance. The following measures are proposed to avoid potential impacts. - Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct effects to protected birds. - A qualified ornithologist should conduct pre-construction surveys within the vicinity of the BSA, to check for nesting or burrowing activity of native birds and to evaluate the site for presence of raptors and special status bird species. The ornithologist should conduct at minimum a one-day pre-construction survey within the seven-day period prior to construction activities beginning. If construction work lapses for seven days or longer during the breeding season, a qualified ornithologist should conduct a supplemental avian pre-construction survey before Project work is reinitiated. - If active nests or burrows are detected within the construction footprint or up to 500 feet from construction activities, the ornithologist should flag a buffer around each nest (assuming property access). Construction activities should avoid nest or burrows sites until the ornithologist determines 875 11219378 35 that the young have fledged or nesting activity has ceased. If nests or burrows are documented outside of the construction (disturbance) footprint, but within 500 feet of the construction area, buffers would be implemented as needed (buffer size dependent on species). Buffer sizes for common species would be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the CDFW and, if applicable, with USFWS. Buffer sizes would cons ider factors such as: • (1) noise and human disturbance levels at the construction site at the time of the survey and the noise and disturbance expected during the construction activity; • (2) distance and amount of vegetation or other screening between the construction site and the nest; and • (3) sensitivity of individual nesting species and behaviours of the nesting birds. - If active nests or burrows are detected during the survey, the qualified ornithologist should monitor all nests or burrows at least once per week to determine whether birds are being disturbed. Activities that might, in the opinion of the qualified ornithologist, disturb nesting ac tivities (e.g., excessive noise), should be prohibited within the buffer zone until such a determination is made. If signs of disturbance or distress are observed, the qualified ornithologist should immediately implement adaptive measures to reduce disturbance. These measures may include, but are not limited to, increasing buffer size, halting disruptive construction activities in the vicinity of the nest until fledging is confirmed or nesting activity has ceased, placement of visual screens or sound dampening structures between the nest and construction activity, reducing speed limits, replacing and updating noisy equipment, queuing trucks to distribute idling noise, locating vehicle access points and loading and shipping facilities away from noise-sensitive receptors, reducing the number of noisy construction activities occurring simultaneously, and/or reorienting and/or relocating construction equipment to minimize noise at noise-sensitive receptors. - If Burrowing Owls are detected, buffers following guidance from Section 4 of the CHMSHCP would be adopted. The buffer distance during the non-breeding season is 160 feet, and 250 feet during the breeding season. Buffers would be staked and flagged. No Project work would be permitted within the established buffered distances. No development or operation and maintenance activities would be permitted within the buffer until the young are no longer dependent on the burrow. If the burrow is unoccupied, the burrow could be made inaccessible to owls, and the Covered Ac tivity may proceed. 6. Conclusion Based on occurrence records, habitat availability, and the reconnaissance-level site visit, special status wildlife and plant species may occur within the BSA. With compliance with the CVMSHCP (see Section 3.4), and the recommended minimization measures in Section 5, impacts are expected to be less than significant. The minimization measures are recommended to be implemented within the Project’s IS/MND document and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 7.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A biological assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological 913 01/24/2023   2    evaluation similar to a biological assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a biological assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found at the Fish and Wildlife Service's Endangered Species Consultation website at: https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/faq.html Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186.php. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office. 914 01/24/2023   3    ▪ Attachment(s): Official Species List 915 01/24/2023   1    Official Species List This list is provided pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and fulfills the requirement for Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary of the Interior information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of a proposed action".

Endangered Species Act Species There is a total of 8 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce. See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction.

We have reviewed our maps, records, and reports against the project area defined on the map you provided. Our records indicate that 92 cultural resource studies have been conducted within your project area. Fifty-six cultural resource properties are recorded within the boundaries of the project area. Additional sources of information consulted are identified below. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP): no listed properties are located within the boundaries of the project area. California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), Archaeological Resources Directory (ARD): One property is listed as determined eligible for listing in the NRHP (P-33-001178 [CA-RIV-001178] La Quinta Evac. CH. AD.) California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD): Two properties are listed as recognized as a historically significant by local government (P-33-007263, PT. Happy Ranch and P-33-023955, PT. Happy Ranch). One property is listed as not eligible for listing or designation as specified (P-33-017259, Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel). One property is listed as not evaluated for NRHP or CRHR or needs revaluation (P-33-007264, 46370 Cameo Palms Dr). Note: not all properties in the California Historical Resources Information System are listed in the OHP ARD and BERD; the ARD and BERD comprise lists of properties submitted to the OHP for review. 936 The 1941 USGS Toro Peak 15' minute series, 1959 USGS La Quinta 7.5' minute series, and 1959 USGS Palm Desert 15' minute series topographic maps show about 30 historical structures or features present within the boundaries of the project area. Based on the information reviewed, 56 cultural resources properties have been recorded within the boundaries of the project area, thus additional cultural resources may be present within the boundaries of the project area. It is recommended that these resources undergo an evaluation of their significance to determine appropriate mitigation measures. However, this assessment does not rule out the possible presence of previously unidentified cultural resources, thus, it is recommended that the project area be examined systematically by a cultural resource professional to identify all historical, archaeological, and cultural heritage resources that have not been recorded, and to provide recommendations regarding their significance and management prior to any development of the project area. Persons involved in development of the project area should be sensitive to the significant and irreplaceable nature of cultural resources. A statewide list of cultural resources consultants can be found online at http://chrisinfo.org. State and federal law requires that if any cultural resources are found during construction, work is to stop and the lead agency and a cultural resources professional be consulted to determine the importance of the find and its appropriate management. Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource records that have been submitted to the Office of Historic Preservation are available via this records search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area. Additionally, Native American tribes have historical resource information not in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Inventory, and you should contact the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on local/regional tribal contacts. The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) contracts with the California Historical Resources Information System's (CHRIS) regional Information Centers (ICs) to maintain information in the CHRIS inventory and make it available to local, state, and federal agencies, cultural resource professionals, Native American tribes, researchers, and the public. Recommendations made by the IC coordinators or their staff regarding the interpretation and application of this information are advisory only. Such recommendations do not necessarily represent the evaluation or opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer in carrying out the OHP' s regulatory authority under federal and state law.

Via Email to: Ryder.Burliss@ghd.com Re: La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Project, Riverside County To Whom It May Concern: A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites. Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received. If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address: Andrew.Green@nahc.ca.gov.

Development along Highway 111 in the project area comprises a mix of uses, principally commercial (e.g., big box retail, strip center, grocery, restaurants, auto dealers) and large surface parking lots. Some residential uses are located to the south. There are a few vacant parcels scattered throughout the project area. Landscaping consists of street trees and other ornamental xeriscape. Transportation facilities are largely improved with a full street network, curbs and sidewalks, and crosswalks at major intersections. The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan provides guidance for implementing development within the planning area. The Specific Plan furthers the objectives of the City of La Quinta General Plan (hereinafter “General Plan”) by providing a more detailed planning document for development of specific sites and streetscape improvements. 942 Hi g h w a y 1 1 1 S p e c i f i c Pl a n A r e a B o u n d a r y 943 Appendix C City of La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Native American Heritage Commission Contact List 944 Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Column6 Column7 Column8 Column9 Column11 Tribe Name Fed (F) Non-Fed (N) Contact Person Contact Address Phone # Fax #Email Address Cultural Affiliation Counties Last Updated Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians F Lacy Padilla, THPO Operations Manager 5401 Dinah Shore Drive Palm Springs, CA, 92264 (760) 333-5222 (760) 699-6919 ACBCI-THPO@aguacaliente.net Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 1/11/2024 Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians F Tribal Operations, 84-001 Avenue 54 Coachella, CA, 92236 (760) 398-4722 Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 11/30/2023 Cabazon Band of Mission Indians F Doug Welmas, Chairperson 84-245 Indio Springs Parkway Indio, CA, 92203 (760) 342-2593 (760) 347-7880 jstapp@cabazonindians-nsn.gov Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego Cahuilla Band of Indians F Erica Schenk, Chairperson 52701 CA Highway 371 Anza, CA, 92539 (951) 590-0942 (951) 763-2808 chair@cahuilla-nsn.gov Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 2/1/2024 Cahuilla Band of Indians F Anthony Madrigal, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer 52701 CA Highway 371 Anza, CA, 92539 (951) 763-5549 anthonymad2002@gmail.com Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 6/28/2023 Cahuilla Band of Indians F BobbyRay Esaprza, Cultural Director 52701 CA Highway 371 Anza, CA, 92539 (951) 763-5549 besparza@cahuilla-nsn.gov Cahuilla Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 6/28/2023 Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians F Ray Chapparosa, Chairperson P.O.

The project area is not located within the boundaries of the ACBCI Reservation. However, it is within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area. A records check of the ACBCI registry identified previous surveys in the area that were positive for the presence of cultural resources. In consultation, the ACBCI THPO requests the following: [VIA EMAIL TO:clflores@laquintaca.gov] City of La Quinta Ms. Cheri Flores 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, CA 92253 March 19, 2025 Re: Highway 111 Specific Plan - SP2022-0002 Again, the Agua Caliente appreciates your interest in our cultural heritage.

Cordially, Luz Salazar Cultural Resources Analyst Tribal Historic Preservation Office AGUA CALIENTE BAND OF CAHUILLA INDIANS 03-003-2025-002 #* Please send all consultation letters to ACBCI-THPO@aguacaliente.net. #* Instead of "Traditionally and Culturally Affiliated" Native American monitor, consulting Native American monitor would make sense for tribes in consultation requesting their own monitors. #* There are several TCR's within the project boundary: CA-RIV-8835 is within DJN-1, CA-RIV-5832 is adjacent to DJS-1, CA-RIV-6190 and CA-RIV-2936 is partially within AND-01, CA-RIV-4752 is within ADS-2. Those are counting for the undeveloped areas within the project. #* Please send us a copy of the Archaeological report from recent surveys if there were any and include consulting tribes into surveys for projects.

CEQA requires a 30-day public review period for the Draft IS/MND document. The public comment period allows public agencies and interested parties the opportunity to review and comment on the document. The Draft IS/MND was released for public comment on May 19, 2025, and the review period closed on June 19, 2025. In accordance with the requirements of CEQA, the City of La Quinta provided a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration to the public, responsible agencies, and the San Diego County Clerk. The City of La Quinta published a notice in The Desert Sun (a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the proposed Project). The Draft IS/MND was submitted to the State Clearinghouse for review by state agencies, and to responsible and trustee agencies with jurisdiction by law over resources affected by the Project. The Draft IS/MND was made available for public review at www.laquintaca.gov/111corridor. CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(b) states that prior to approving a Project, the Lead Agency must consider the proposed IS/MND together with any comments received during the public review process. Written responses to comments are not required; however, the City of La Quinta, as Lead Agency, has prepared a written response to the comments received for consideration by the Planning Commission and/or City Council. At the end of the 30-day public review period, a total of four comments were received. The table below identifies a number for each comment letter received, the author of the comment letter, and the date received. Public and Agency Comments Received Comment Letter Number Commenter Date Received 1 Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District May 23, 2025 2 Justin Marlles June 6, 2025 3 Gregory Gurszecki June 9, 2025 4 Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians June 16, 2025 5 California Department of Fish and Wildlife June 23, 2025 6 Caltrans June 23, 2025 The comment letters and responses follow. The comment letters have been numbered sequentially and each separate issue raised by the commenter, if more than one, has been assigned a number. The responses to each comment identify first the number of the comment letter, and then the number assigned to each issue (Response 1-1, for example, indicates that the response is for the first issue raised in Comment Letter 1). Responses are provided in this IS/MND as a matter of public disclosure and transparency. Based on the evaluation in the IS/MND, the City of La Quinta, as Lead Agency, has determined that all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project are less than significant with incorporation of identified mitigation measures. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared and will be implemented for the Project. Therefore, the City of La Quinta has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with CEQA is the appropriate environmental document for the Project. 952 JASON E.

The District also does not plan check City land use cases or provide State Division of Real Estate letters or other flood hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such cases are normally limited to items of specific interest to the District including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or extension of a master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In addition, information of a general nature is provided. The District's review is based on the above-referenced project transmittal, received May 19, 2025. The District has not reviewed the proposed project in detail, and the following comments do not in any way constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard, public health and safety, or any other such issue: ܈ This project would not be impacted by District Master Drainage Plan facilities, nor are other facilities of regional interest proposed. The project is located within Coachella Valley Water District's (CVWD) jurisdiction. CVWD is the responsible agency to review and comment on regional flood control drainage systems within their jurisdictional limits. տ This project involves District proposed Master Drainage Plan facilities, namely, . The District will accept ownership of such facilities on written request by the City. The Project Applicant shall enter into a cooperative agreement establishing the terms and conditions of inspection, operation, and maintenance with the District and any other maintenance partners. Facilities must be constructed to District standards, and District plan check and inspection will be required for District acceptance. Plan check, inspection, and administrative fees will be required. All regulatory permits (and all documents pertaining thereto, e.g., Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plans, Conservation Plans/Easements) that are to be secured by the Applicant for both facility construction and maintenance shall be submitted to the District for review. The regulatory permits' terms and conditions shall be approved by the District prior to improvement plan approval, map recordation, or finalization of the regulatory permits. There shall be no unreasonable constraint upon the District's ability to operate and maintain the flood control facility(ies) to protect public health and safety. տ This project proposes channels, storm drains larger than 36 inches in diameter, or other facilities that could be considered regional in nature and/or a logical extension a District's facility, the District would consider accepting ownership of such facilities on written request by the City. The Project Applicant Comment 1-1 Comment Letter #1 953 City of La Quinta - 2 - May 22, 2025 Re: Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and Development Code, SP 2022-0002, 262120 Approximately two miles along Highway 111 between Washington Street on the west, Jefferson Street on the east, the Whitewater Wash on the north and Avenue 48 on the south shall enter into a cooperative agreement establishing the terms and conditions of inspection, operation, and maintenance with the District and any other maintenance partners. Facilities must be constructed to District standards, and District plan check and inspection will be required for District acceptance. Plan check, inspection, and administrative fees will be required. The regulatory permits' terms and conditions shall be approved by the District prior to improvement plan approval, map recordation, or finalization of the regulatory permits. There shall be no unreasonable constraint upon the District's ability to operate and maintain the flood control facility(ies) to protect public health and safety. ܆ An encroachment permit shall be obtained for any construction related activities occurring within District right of way or facilities, namely, ____________________. If a proposed storm drain connection exceeds the hydraulic performance of the existing drainage facilities, mitigation will be required. For further information, contact the District's Encroachment Permit Section at 951.955.1266. ܆ The Districts previous comments are still valid. GENERAL INFORMATION The project proponent shall bear the responsibility for complying with all applicable mitigation measures defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document, and/or Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and with all other federal, state, and local environmental rules and regulations that may apply, such as, but not limited to, the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act, California Fish and Game Code Section 1602, and the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The District's action associated with the subject project triggers evaluation by the District with respect to the applicant's compliance with federal, state, and local environmental laws. For this project, the Lead Agency is the agency in the address above, and the District is a Responsible Agency under CEQA. The District, as a Co- permittee under the MSHCP, needs to demonstrate that all District related activities, including the actions identified above, are consistent with the MSHCP. This is typically achieved through determinations from the CEQA Lead Agency (if they are also a Co-permittee) for the project. For the MSHCP, the District's focus will be particular to Sections 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.3.2, 7.3.7, 7.5.3, and Appendix C of the MSHCP. Please include consistency determination statements from the Lead Agency/Co-permittee for the project for each of these sections in the CEQA document. The District may also require that an applicant provide supporting technical documentation for environmental clearance. 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. Very truly yours, AMY MCNEILL Engineering Project Manager EM:bs Comment 1-2 954 Response to Comment Letter #1, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, May 23, 2025 Comment 1-1: The City appreciates the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s (District) comments and the information provided regarding the proposed project. The City agrees with the District’s assessment that the proposed development outlined in the IS/MND for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would not be impacted by District Master Drainage Plan facilities and does not propose facilities of regional interest. The City acknowledges that the project is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), which is the appropriate agency to review and provide input on regional flood control and drainage systems. The City, along with any future development within the Specific Plan area, will coordinate with CVWD, as appropriate, to ensure consistency with applicable flood control and drainage requirements. Comment 1-2: The City appreciates the District’s detailed comments and guidance regarding regulatory compliance. Through this IS/MND, the City advises that future projects and development within the Specific Plan area refer to and follow the applicable mitigation measures, as well as comply with all relevant federal, state, and local environmental regulations identified in the comment. Future development within the Specific Plan area, as outlined in this IS/MND, will be required to meet the applicable requirements of the District and the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP). The City understands that future development may also be required to provide consistency determinations to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the CVMSHCP. In addition, supporting technical documentation or supplemental environmental studies may be required to satisfy environmental clearance requirements. The Biological Resources section of the IS/MND addresses the Coachella Valley MSHCP, identifies potentially occurring covered species, and outlines relevant conservation measures. Additionally, the City recognizes that any future development in the Specific Plan area may require permits such as NPDES or FEMA-related documentation and will ensure those requirements are addressed prior to project approvals. 955 From:Justin Marlles To:Kathleen Fitzpatrick Cc:Cheri Flores; Jennifer Nelson; Monika Radeva Subject:Re: Nobody Wants an "Urban" La Quinta Date:Monday, June 9, 2025 10:20:40 AM ** EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta.

Learn why this is important Councilwoman Fitzpatrick, Thank you for your reply. The plan clearly calls for not just increased density but increased vertical density, which is the very definition of urban. To throw some street trees into the mix is like putting lipstick on a pig. Indeed, the levels of density that this plan and the code changes would allow for are unlike anything presently along Highway 111 and are entirely out-of-character for La Quinta if not the desert as a whole. To replace empty parking lots with an 'El Paseo' or an 'Old Town' type low density 2-story commercial development would be one thing, but that is not what is contained in this plan. As for the affordable housing elements of the plan, La Quinta is only required to meet the requirements of the RHNA by not standing in the way of affordable housing --no less and no more. The RHNA certainly does not require the city to purchase land to build public housing on a mass scale; it seems the only way that things have gotten this far is that the city started this process in 2022 during the Covid years when residents' attention was focused elsewhere. As for mass transit, I have personally experienced the supposed benefits of such where my neighbors and I have been forced to repeatedly call the city to complain about shopping carts ditched at Sunline bus stops, and for homeless individuals making their way from the commercial corridor who decide to camp in them. There is zero question that this plan to fundamentally alter the 111 corridor would exacerbate these kinds of issues in the neighborhoods of North La Quinta. I assure you that as word gets out, you will find more and more residents contacting council about this attempt to turn La Quinta into Los Angeles.

The plan, I believe, takes into account existing conditions that could be greatly improved to be LESS urban, less paving for parking, more landscape and better circulation, tying the areas of north La Quinta to those areas south of 111. Yes, it does call for additional housing but it is incumbent on the city to help in the development of more “work force” housing. That housing needs to be where public transportation exists. Again, not arguing your point just expressing another way to look at the whole picture while we review the plans. Comment 2-1 (cont.)

Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** Some people who received this message don't often get emailfrom jmar1@protonmail.com. Learn why this is important Mayor Evans, Members of Council, and Ms. Flores: After reviewing La Quinta's Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan as well as the draft Highway 111 Development Code along with the city's Notice of Intent and draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, it's now plain that the city leadership has lost touch with its own residents. Nobody wants an "urban" La Quinta. Indeed, to the contrary, many of us left cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego to escape dense urban environments and everything that comes with it. Yet, in what is plainly the result of some city planner's fever dream, the entire purpose of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and the proposed Highway Highway 111 Development Code is to create a newly dense and "urban" La Quinta complete with hundreds of low income housing units which presumably will be built on city land. As a resident of North La Quinta who lives just down Adams Street from this proposed new urban La Quinta, I assure you that nobody here wants to see our small city disfigured with numerous 6 story tall buildings (CSP pgs. 27 and 34), high density city-owned public housing (CSP pgs. 33, 43), or massive mixed-use developments (CSP pgs. 27, 42, 49, and DG pgs. 5, 15-19) more suitable for LA -or perhaps Orange County where you hired your engineering team- than La Quinta. Indeed, it seems the engineering company that authored this totally unsuitable plan is happy to feather its nest by offering an expensive "on-call architect/urban designer" who can help destroy La Quinta (CSP pg. 116). Comment 2-1 957 It is likewise absurd for the city to claim, as it does in its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration, that this plan "will not have a significant effect on the environment" or that adequate mitigating measures have somehow been included. Increasing density in such a severe manner is not only like to lead to stresses on limited regional water supplies, but could also result in significant traffic issues throughout the Highway 111 corridor such that emissions will be increased rather than decreased. As a result, a full Environmental Impact Review would appear more appropriate and the city's failure to conduct one is of significant concern. This communication, on which Ms. Cheri Flores has been included, stands as a written comment from the public in opposition to the project that has been submitted within the public review period. The residents of La Quinta are not going to sit by and let city planners with delusions of grandeur accompanied by out-of-town engineering company destroy the character of our city. Highway 111 may need a facelift but turning La Quinta into LA isn't it. You must reject this ill-considered and unsuitable plan. Respectfully, Justin Marlles 7870 Bayberry Lane La Quinta, CA 92253 Comment 2-1 (cont.) 958 Response to Comment Letter #2, Justin Marlles, June 6, 2025 Comment 2-1: The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan is a long-range planning tool meant to guide future development that supports La Quinta’s evolving needs while preserving its unique character. It does not call for immediate or large-scale densification, nor does it propose city-built high-rises. Instead, it supports gradual, infill development to create more diverse and attainable housing options. Public improvements, like better streetscapes, pedestrian and bike access, and open spaces, often rely on a stronger residential and business base to be economically viable. A more balanced mix of uses helps support local businesses and community investment. The Specific Plan is a flexible guide, not a fixed blueprint. It reflects community input and sets a framework for thoughtful, context sensitive growth. The IS/MND was prepared in accordance with CEQA guidelines and supported by technical analyses. Regarding traffic and utilities, the IS/MND includes analysis based on current data and regional planning forecasts, confirming that infrastructure and resource capacity can support the proposed development in line with the City’s General Plan. 959 From: Monika Radeva <mradeva@laquintaca.gov> Sent: Monday, June 9, 2025 6:46 PM To: Planning WebMail <Planning@laquintaca.gov> Cc: City Clerk Mail <cityclerkmail@laquintaca.gov> Subject: Gurszecki, Gregory 2025-06-09 Comments Hwy 111 Corridor SpeciƱc Plan: The Urbanization Project is a Mistake!

Dear Mayor Evans and City Counsel Members, I have been a supporter of your campaign for the bulk of your tenure, and I implore you to take a very careful look at this new Urbanization Project – which will destroy the heart of La Quinta to the detriment of loyal nearby residents. After my teams’ review of the "Highway 111 Corridor SpeciƱc Plan," the draft "Highway 111 Development Code," and the associated environmental notices, it is with great concern that I am writing to express my strenuous opposition to this project. The vision of an "urban" La Quinta, as detailed in these documents, is a fundamental betrayal of the city's character and the beautiful nature surrounding it. La Quinta is a culturally rich city with a view and atmosphere that is unrivaled in many parts of the world. It is a honeymoon resort town, and many of us chose to make La Quinta our home to escape the crux of what this project intends to bring and create. The proposal seeks to erect six-story buildings in an area surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, and wishes to introduce high- density housing, and communities for the impoverished. While all this is Ʊne and well in the right place, La Quinta is not it. This is a radical departure from the suburban, resort-style community we love and cherish deeply. The notion that this will not have a signiƱcant negative impact on our property values is, frankly, also unbelievable. The unique character of our city is a primary driver of its desirability; eroding that character will inevitably lead to a decline in property values for those of us who invested in a diƯerent vision for La Quinta. Furthermore, the plan completely disregards the impact it will have on our already strained infrastructure. It is a known fact, reported in the news as recently as this past February, that La Quinta's electrical substations are at or near capacity. [Emphasis Added]. Building a large and exceptionally dense project of homes with shops will only result in further fracturing of our fragile power grid and water supply. Comment 3-2 Comment 3-1 Comment Letter #3 960 In July of 2024 alone, over 1,000 homes in the La Quinta and Indio area experienced power outages because there was not a stable power supply during the hot summer months. Our valley reached record highs for multiple days and even hit 126 degrees on some days as a regular occurrence. This power outage number also does not reƲect the planned power outages by the electrical company used to conserve resources and maintain the grid. In the summer of 2022, the valley had various “Conserve Alerts” for both electricity and water use. The Imperial Irrigation District has not been shy about admitting they are underfunded and needing more infrastructure. IID even backed away from cost-sharing solutions for necessary upgrades. To add hundreds of new residential units and signiƱcant commercial development to this already fragile system is very irresponsible and invites more frequent and prolonged power outages, while further stressing our water supply for existing residents. The assertion in the Mitigated Negative Declaration that this project will not have a signiƱcant eƯect on the environment is simply not credible, and frankly laughable. A project of this magnitude, with its focus on dramatically increasing density, will undoubtedly lead to increased traƯic congestion, a greater strain on our precious water resources, heightened crime, and a decline in our quality of life. A full Environmental Impact Report is not only warranted but essential to fully understand the detrimental consequences of this plan. I simply cannot support this measure. It will ruin our town and appears to be nothing more than a deeply concerning money grab for the contractors and those involved. While I appreciate the heart for progress, this is not the right kind of progress for La Quinta. This correspondence serves as a formal public comment in opposition to the "Highway 111 Corridor SpeciƱc Plan." We, the residents of La Quinta, will not stand idly by while our city is transformed into a pale imitation of the urban centers many of us left behind. Highway 111 may need revitalization, but this ill-conceived and unwanted urbanization is not the answer. We implore you to listen to your constituents and reject this plan.

Comment 3-2 (cont.) Comment 3-3 961 Response to Comment Letter #3, Gregory Gurszecki, June 9, 2025 Comment 3-1: The City appreciates this comment and acknowledges concerns about the potential impact of the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan on La Quinta’s character. To clarify, the Specific Plan does not significantly increase development intensity beyond what was established under the City’s 2016 zoning overlays. Rather, it provides updated guidance for future development that aligns with patterns already emerging in surrounding communities in the Coachella Valley. The Specific Plan will not increase building height limits and will maintain a 50-foot (4-story) cap in the proposed Highway Mixed Use Zone. Since 2016, the City’s Mixed Use Overlay has allowed similar or greater heights, and base zoning has long permitted 2- to 4-story buildings in parts of the Specific Plan area. This ensures future development remains consistent with La Quinta’s existing character. While the Plan allows for greater density than what currently exists – such as big-box stores and large surface parking lots – it does not significantly alter the City's development pattern. A shift in the land use mix, informed by real estate market analyses, prioritizes housing over retail, resulting in denser building types like stacked flats and rowhouses. These may have more bulk than older low-rise retail and office buildings but still conform to the established height limits. The Specific Plan also supports the public realm improvements frequently mentioned by the community – such as signage, lighting, landscaped parkways, pedestrian amenities, and plazas or patios near new retail. These improvements often depend on infill development to be economically feasible. Increasing the availability of housing, including more affordable and diverse options, helps create the residential base needed to support local businesses and justify investments in the public realm. A Specific Plan that ties these improvements to anticipated development helps make them more achievable. While the Specific Plan outlines potential building heights and long-term development capacity, full build-out across the entire corridor is not expected. The Specific Plan also improves planning flexibility over time rather than represent guaranteed or immediate changes. Comment 3-2: The City acknowledges concerns regarding infrastructure capacity, including electrical and water systems. The Specific Plan references publicly available information and planning guidance from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) and Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), and is designed to align with the scope and scale of development outlined in the City’s General Plan. The General Plan, which underwent its own environmental review, provides the long-range framework for growth and infrastructure planning. It is important to note that future development under the Specific Plan will be subject to additional project-level review to confirm that adequate utility infrastructure is available prior to construction. While IID has acknowledged regional infrastructure challenges, it continues to implement phased improvements and long-term planning efforts to meet growing demand. Additionally, all new development must comply with current State energy efficiency and water conservation standards, which help reduce overall resource use compared to older buildings. The Specific Plan includes policies to support infrastructure planning and long-term sustainability. The level of growth proposed is consistent with regional forecasts, and the City will continue working with utility providers to ensure services are maintained and upgraded as needed. Comment 3-3: The IS/MND thoroughly evaluates potential environmental impacts associated with the development and implementation of the Specific Plan, including traffic, water resources, public 962 safety, and community character. Where impacts were identified as potentially significant, the IS/MND includes mitigation measures for future development projects to reference to reduce these effects to less-than-significant levels, consistent with CEQA requirements. It is important to note that this Specific Plan itself does not constitute or approve any development; rather, it serves as a guidance document to help shape future growth as the City evolves. All individual development projects proposed under the Specific Plan will be reviewed against CEQA requirements as applications are received.,. Regarding traffic and utilities, the IS/MND includes analyses based on current data and regional planning forecasts to confirm that infrastructure capacity and resource availability can support the proposed development, consistent with the City’s General Plan. The Specific Plan focuses on enhancing the Highway 111 Corridor by improving the community’s overall aesthetic and promoting safe, walkable neighborhoods. It plans for items including pedestrian and bicycle lanes, pocket parks, and open spaces for public gatherings, while creating opportunities for local businesses to grow. Additionally, the Specific Plan offers diverse potential housing options with a variety of configurations, supporting residents who live and work within the City. CEQA sets clear guidelines for when an EIR is needed, based on evidence of significant impacts. In this case, the City determined that the IS/MND with mitigation is appropriate and sufficient. The City remains committed to a transparent planning process for the Specific Plan and encourages continued public participation to ensure all community voices are heard. 963 03-003-2025-002 Dear Ms. Cheri Flores, The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) appreciates your efforts to include the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) in the Highway 111 Specific Plan project.

Achieving City status on May 1, 1982, La Quinta has witnessed continuous development, particularly along the Highway 111 Corridor, fueled by a steadily increasing population that peaks during the winter season (City of La Quinta, 2024b). La Quinta is also home to the original settlers of the area, the Desert Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla people have inhabited the Martinez Canyon area of the CV since the early 1800s and lived near an area known today as Point Happy. The Desert Cahuilla Indians were hunter and gatherers and one of the few Native American Tribes to dig wells. Point Happy held significant importance for the Cahuilla people due to its role as a vital access point to water sources. Notably, within a distance of less than 300 yards from Point Happy, a well was excavated, serving as a pivotal resource for the community. This well later lent its name to the present-day City of Indian Wells (City of La Quinta, 2024b; SCTCA, 2024). For centuries, the Cahuilla people were the sole inhabitants of the CV, maintaining a permanent presence. It wasn't until the early 19th century that Europeans started journeying through the valley. Spanish, and later Mexican explorers, soldiers, and missionaries arrived with the sole aim of swiftly crossing the challenging desert terrain (La Quinta Historical Society, 2017). Record Search This analysis is based on a cultural records investigation conducted at the California Historical Resources Inventory System (CHRIS) Eastern Information Center (EIC) located at the University of California, Riverside. The examination of records took place on January 22, 2024, encompassing a review of maps, records, and reports from the EIC pertaining to the Project area. The assessment involved a review of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1959 La Quinta 7.5 minute series quadrangle map, 1941 Toro Peak 15 minutes series, and 1959 Palm Desert 15 minute series topographic map to assess the Project site. In addition, the California Points of Historical Interest, California Historical Landmarks, California Register of Historic Places, National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California State Historic Resources Inventory, and historic topographic maps were reviewed. The findings revealed that there have been 92 studies on cultural resources conducted within the approximately 410 acres of the proposed Project area. A total of 56 cultural resource properties are documented within the Project area boundaries. According to the NRHP, there are no listed properties located within the bounds of the Project area. Per results from the California Office of Historic since the early 1800s original settlers Point Happy held significant importance for the Cahuilla people due to its role as a vital access point to water sources.Notably, within a distance of less than 300 yards from Point Happy,well was excavated, serving as a pivotal resource for the community. 1 2 3 4 5 965 Summary of Comments on Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan Page: 1 Number: 1 Author: Luz Salazar Subject: Comment on Text Date: 6/13/2025 9:03:51 AM I would exclude this since Tribes resided here since time immemorial.

Appropriate pre-construction training and a data recovery plan (if needed) would be implemented to address potential discovery of unanticipated archaeological resources and to preserve and/or record those resources consistent with appropriate laws and requirements. Proposed mitigation measures for future development are outlined below. CR-1: Workers Environmental Awareness Program A qualified archaeologist who meets or exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS, 1983) shall conduct Workers Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training on archaeological sensitivity for all construction personnel prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activities. Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, the regulatory environment, and the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find. The WEAP training document shall include materials that convey the information noted above, which shall be maintained in an area accessible to all construction personnel so that it may be reviewed regularly by construction staff. CR-2: Pre-Excavation Agreement Prior to the issuance of Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner shall enter into a pre-excavation agreement, otherwise known as a Tribal Cultural Resources Treatment and Tribal Monitoring Agreement with consulting Native American Monitor associated with local tribes. A copy of the agreement shall be included in building and development plans and permit applications with the City. The purpose of this agreement shall be to formalize protocols and procedures between the Applicant/Owner and the consulting Native American Monitor associated with local tribes for the protection and treatment of, including but not limited to, Native American human remains, funerary objects, cultural and religious landscapes, ceremonial items, and traditional gathering areas and tribal cultural resources located and/or discovered through a monitoring program in conjunction with the construction of the proposed project, including additional archaeological surveys and/or studies, excavations, geotechnical investigations, grading, and all other ground disturbing activities. At the discretion of the consulting Native American Monitor, artifacts may be made available for 3D scanning/printing, with scanned/printed materials to be curated at a local repository meeting the federal standards of 36CFR79. CR-3: Retention of Qualified Archaeologist and Native American Monitor Prior to the issuance of a Grading Permits, the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor shall provide executed contracts or agreements with a Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Native American Monitor, at the Applicant/Owner or Grading Contractor’s expense, to implement the monitoring program, as described in the pre-excavation agreement. CR-4: Tribal Cultural Monitor Coordination During Ground Disturbing Activities The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Native American Monitor shall attend all applicable pre- construction meetings with the General Contractor and/or associated subcontractors to present the archaeological monitoring program. The Qualified Archaeologist and consulting Native American Monitor shall be present on-site full-time during grubbing, grading, and/or other ground altering activities, including the placement of imported fill materials or fill used from other areas of the Project Native American with local tribes.

All fill materials shall be absent of any and all tribal cultural resources. CR-5: Controlled Grade Procedure To detect important archaeological artifacts and cultural resources during monitoring, a "Controlled Grade Procedure" must be created by a Qualified Archaeologist. This will be done in consultation with the consulting Native American Monitor, relevant consulting Tribes, and the Applicant/Owner, and needs approval from City representatives. The procedure will set guidelines for machinery work in sensitive areas identified during cultural resource monitoring. It will cover aspects like operating speed, removal increments, weight, and equipment features. A copy of this procedure must be included in the Grading Plan submissions for Grading Permits. CR-6: Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources The Qualified Archaeologist or consulting Native American Monitor can stop ground-disturbing activities if unknown tribal cultural resources or artifacts are found. All work must cease in the vicinity of any archaeological discovery until the archaeologist can assess its significance and potential eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). If buried cultural deposits are encountered, the monitor may request that construction halt nearby and must notify a qualified archaeologist within 24 hours for investigation. Work will be redirected away from these areas for assessment. Minor finds will be documented and secured for later repatriation; if items cannot be securely stored on-site, they may be stored off-site. If the discovered resources are deemed potentially significant, the involved Tribes will be notified for consultation on their respectful treatment. Avoidance of significant resources is preferred, but if not feasible, a data recovery plan may be required. The consulting Tribes will be consulted on this plan as well. For resources under a data recovery plan, a proper sample will be collected using professional methods, reflecting tribal values. The Native American Monitor must be present during any resource collection or cataloging. If the Qualified Archaeologist does not collect the resources, the Monitor may do so and ensure they are treated respectfully according to tribal traditions. Ground-disturbing work will not resume until the resources are documented and/or protected. CR-7: Treatment of Tribal Cultural Resources The landowner shall relinquish ownership of all tribal cultural resources unearthed during the cultural resource mitigation monitoring conducted during all ground disturbing activities, and from any previous archaeological studies or excavations on the Project site to the affiliated consulting Tribe, as determined through the appropriate process, for respectful and dignified treatment and disposition, including reburial at a protected location on-site, in accordance with the Tribe’s cultural and spiritual traditions. All cultural materials that are associated with burial and/or funerary goods would be repatriated to the Most Likely Descendant as determined by the NAHC per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. No tribal cultural resources shall be subject to curation. CR-8: Tribal Cultural Monitoring Report A monitoring report and/or evaluation report, if appropriate, which describes the results, analysis, and conclusions of the archaeological monitoring program (e.g., data recovery plan) shall be submitted by the Qualified Archaeologist, along with the consulting Native American Monitor’s notes and comments, to the City of La Quinta Planning Division for approval.

Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code. CDFW ROLE CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State. (Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subd. (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines § 15386, subd. (a).) CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. (Id., § 1802.) Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on Projects and related 1CEQA is codified in the California Public Resources Code in section 21000 et seq. The “CEQA Guidelines” are found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, commencing with section 15000. Comment Letter #5 974 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 2 activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources. CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381.) CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. As proposed, for example, the Project may be subject to CDFW’s lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority. (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.) Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take” as defined by State law of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), the Project proponent may seek related take authorization as provided by the Fish and Game Code. PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY Proponent: City of La Quinta Objective: The Project proposes the development of a Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and Highway 111 Development Code. The Highway 111 Corridor (Corridor) consists of a roughly two-mile stretch of businesses located along the La Quinta portion of Highway 111, between Washington and Jefferson Streets. The Highway 111 Development Code is a land use policy that establishes development standards for the Corridor's expansion, incorporating location-specific guidelines like active frontage, and offering detailed information on qualifying uses, as well as additional requirements and permissions for future growth. The MND has been prepared in accordance with CEQA to provide a programmatic-level review of potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and provides guidance for implementing development within the Project area. Economically feasible buildout under the Specific Plan could result in the following additional square footages (sf):  Residential: 1,464,000 to 1,837,000 sf  Retail: 107,000 to 194,000 sf  Office: 82,000 sf  Hotel: 150,000 to 250,000 sf The proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would enable proposed future projects to consider this impact analysis when evaluating their potential environmental impacts. As a programmatic-level document, however, this CEQA analysis is not anticipated to provide sufficient detail to fully address the project-specific impacts of all future development. It is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects. It is anticipated that CEQA compliance for future projects would be tiered from this document. 975 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 3 Location: The Project is located along Highway 111 within the City of La Quinta, California, in the County of Riverside. The Project encompasses two miles along Highway 111 between Washington Street on the west, Jefferson Street on the east, the Whitewater Wash on the north, and Avenue 48 on the south. The Project area is just over approximately 410 acres (~0.64 square miles). Timeframe: The MND proposes build-out of projects over the course of 20 to 25 years. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CDFW has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (i.e., biological resources). CDFW offers the comments and recommendations below to assist the City in adequately identifying and/or mitigating the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, direct and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources. The MND has not adequately identified and disclosed the Project’s impacts (i.e., direct, indirect, and cumulative) on biological resources and whether those impacts are reduced to less than significant. CDFW’s comments and recommendations on the MND are explained in greater detail below and summarized here. CDFW is concerned that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW requests that additional information and analyses be added to a revised MND, along with avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures that avoid or reduce impacts to a level less than significant. Existing Environmental Setting Compliance with CEQA is predicated on a complete and accurate description of the environmental setting that may be affected by the proposed Project. CDFW is concerned that the assessment of the existing environmental setting has not been adequately analyzed in the MND. CDFW is concerned that without a complete and accurate description of the existing environmental setting, the MND may provide an incomplete analysis of Project-related environmental impacts. The MND lacks a complete and appropriate assessment of biological resources within the Project site and surrounding area specifically as it relates special-status species (see Assessment of Biological Resources Section), burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), and the Lake and Streambed Alteration Program. A complete and accurate assessment of the environmental setting and Project-related impacts to biological resources is needed to both identify appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures and demonstrate that these measures reduce Project impacts to less than significant. Mitigation Measures Comment 5-1 976 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 4 CEQA requires that an MND include mitigation measures to avoid or reduce significant impacts. CDFW is concerned that the mitigation measures proposed in the MND are not adequate to avoid or reduce impacts to biological resources to below a level of significance. To support the City in ensuring that Project impacts to biological resources are reduced to less than significant, CDFW recommends revising the mitigation measure for burrowing owl, nesting birds, and artificial nighttime lighting, and adding mitigation measures for an assessment of biological resources and, as it relates to a the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), the local development mitigation fee and salvage of sand-dependent covered species. 1) Assessment of Biological Resources Page 1-2 of the MND states that the “proposed Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan would enable proposed future projects to consider this impact analysis when evaluating their potential environmental impacts. Where sufficiently addressed herein, future development may be considered ‘within the scope’ of this environmental analysis. As a programmatic-level document, however, this CEQA analysis is not anticipated to provide sufficient detail to fully address the project-specific impacts of all future development. Indeed, it is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects once sufficient details are known. In such cases, the necessary environmental studies and documentation may be conducted at the time of proposal. It is anticipated that CEQA compliance for future projects would be tiered from this document.” CDFW is concerned about the adequacy of analysis in this MND to establish baseline conditions for biological resources, identify impacts to biological resources, and determine appropriate avoidance, minimization and mitigation measures for development projects covered in this MND. For example, page 3 of the Technical Memorandum, dated May 8, 2023 (Special-Status Species Report), for the MND did not include any protocol-level surveys for special-status wildlife. Also, note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Given the uncertainty in timelines for the implementation of the various projects covered in this MND (over a period of 20-25 years per page 3-89 of the MND)—and the ability for biological resources to change during intervening periods—CDFW recommends that additional assessments of biological resources, including, but not limited to, focused surveys for special-status species that have the potential to occur on these project sites, are conducted and the results circulated to the public in subsequent CEQA documentation to establish environmental baselines, inform avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, and allow CDFW to conduct a meaningful review and provide appropriate biological expertise. To ensure impacts to biological resources associated with the projects covered in this MND are adequately assessed and reduced to a level less than significant, CDFW recommends the following mitigation measure is added to a revised MND: Mitigation Measure BIO-[A]: Assessment of Biological Resources Comment 5-1 (cont.) Comment 5-2 977 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 5 Prior to Project construction activities for all projects covered in this MND, a complete and recent inventory of rare, threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species located within the Project footprint and within offsite areas with the potential to be affected, including California Species of Special Concern (CSSC) and California Fully Protected Species (Fish and Game Code § 3511), will be completed. Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species-specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one- year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during periods of drought. Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, section 15097(f), CDFW has prepared a draft mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) in Attachment 1 for recommended revisions to MM BIO-3, MM BIO-4, MM BIO-5 and CDFW-recommended MM BIO-[A], MM BIO-[B], and MM BIO-[C]. Nesting Birds It is the Project proponent’s responsibility to comply with all applicable laws related to nesting birds and birds of prey. Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.). With regard to the CVMSHCP, per its associated Implementing Agreement (IA) and Permits from CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Wildlife Agencies), Take associated with Covered Activities will not be in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and will be consistent with Fish and Game Code sections 3503 and 3503.5; therefore, all Covered Activities within and outside Conservation Areas must undertake Comment 5-2 (cont.) Comment 5-3 978 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 6 measures to avoid the take of individuals, nests, and eggs of nesting birds. The CVMSHCP includes a general conservation measure that applies to all bird species to avoid impacts to habitat for nesting birds during the nesting season (CVMSHCP Section 9.7). Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect nesting birds. Pages 3-16 of the MND indicates that “the entire Project area may support migratory and nesting birds.” CDFW concurs that all the project locations covered in this MND contain habitat for nesting birds due to the presences of shrubs on the undeveloped vacant parcels and presence of landscaping trees and shrubs in the developed parcels. Although the MND includes Mitigation Measure BIO-3 for nesting birds, CDFW considers the measure inadequate in scope to reduce impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant. For example, CDFW considers proposed buffer distances for burrowing owls, 160 feet during the non-breeding season and 250 feet during the breeding season, to be inadequate. (See Burrowing Owl Section below for a burrowing owl-specific measure recommended by CDFW.) To support the City in reducing impacts to nesting birds to a level less than significant for all projects covered in the MND, CDFW recommends that the City revise Mitigation Measure BIO-3 with the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough: Mitigation Measure BIO-3: Nesting Birds Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than 3 days prior to all vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities for all projects covered in this MND. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. Potential Project impacts to six special status birds and common birds protected by the MBTA and FGC during construction may include visual disturbance, Comment 5-3 (cont.) 979 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 7 habitat destruction, and noise disturbance. The following measures are proposed to avoid potential impacts. Construction should be conducted, if possible, during the fall and/or winter months and outside of the avian nesting season (generally February 1 – August 31) to avoid any direct effects to protected birds. A qualified ornithologist should conduct pre-construction surveys within the vicinity of the Project area to check for nesting or burrowing activity of native birds and to evaluate the site for presence of raptors and special status bird species. The ornithologist should conduct at minimum a one-day pre-construction survey within the seven-day period prior to construction activities beginning. If construction work lapses for seven days or longer during the breeding season, a qualified ornithologist should conduct a supplemental avian pre-construction survey before Project work is reinitiated. If active nests or burrows are detected within the construction footprint or up to 500 feet from construction activities, the ornithologist should flag a buffer around each nest (assuming property access). Construction activities should avoid nest or burrow sites until the ornithologist determines that the young have fledged or nesting activity has ceased. If nests or burrows are documented outside of the construction (disturbance) footprint, but within 500 feet of the construction area, buffers would be implemented as needed (buffer size dependent on species). Buffer sizes for common species would be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the CDFW and, if applicable, with USFWS. Buffer sizes would consider factors such as: 1. Noise and human disturbance levels at the construction site at the time of the survey and the noise and disturbance expected during the construction activity; 2. Distance and amount of vegetation or other screening between the construction site and the nest; and 3. Sensitivity of individual nesting species and behaviors of the nesting birds. If active nests or burrows are detected during the survey, the qualified ornithologist should monitor all nests or burrows at least once per week to determine whether birds are being disturbed. Activities that might, in the opinion of the qualified ornithologist, disturb nesting activities (e.g., excessive noise), should be prohibited within the buffer zone until such a determination is made. If signs of disturbance or distress are observed, the qualified ornithologist should immediately implement adaptive measures to reduce disturbance. These measures may include, but are not limited to, increasing buffer size, halting disruptive construction activities in the vicinity of the nest until fledging is confirmed or nesting activity has ceased, placement of visual screens or sound dampening structures between the nest and construction activity, reducing speed limits, replacing and updating noisy equipment, queuing trucks to distribute idling noise, locating vehicle access points and loading and shipping facilities away from noise-sensitive receptors, reducing the number of noisy construction activities occurring simultaneously, and/or 980 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 8 reorienting and/or relocating construction equipment to minimize noise at noise- sensitive receptors. If Burrowing Owls are detected, buffers following guidance from Section 4 of the CHMSHCP would be adopted. The buffer distance during the non-breeding season is 160 feet, and 250 feet during the breeding season. Buffers would be staked and flagged. No Project work would be permitted within the established buffered distances. No development or operation and maintenance activities would be permitted within the buffer until the young are no longer dependent on the burrow. If the burrow is unoccupied, the burrow could be made inaccessible to owls, and the Covered Activity may proceed. 2) Burrowing Owl On October 10, 2024, the Fish and Game Commission determined that western burrowing owl warrants protection as a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.). During the candidacy period, western burrowing owl will be afforded the same protection as threatened and endangered species under CESA. If Project activities, including relocation, could result in take, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained prior to commencement of Project activities. Take of individual burrowing owls and their nests or eggs is defined by Fish and Game Code section 86, and prohibited by sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513. Take is defined in Fish and Game Code section 86 as “hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill.” Fish and Game Code sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 afford protective measures as follows: section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3503.5 makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by Fish and Game Code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Fish and Game Code section 3513 makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 703 et seq.). With regard to the CVMSHCP, the CDFW Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) Permit #2835-2008-001-06 does not provide Take Authorization for burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. To the contrary, section 3.5.6 of the NCCP Permit states burrowing owl “pairs or individuals will not be Taken” and reiterates that the “HCP/NCCP does not authorize Take of [burrowing owl] nests [or] eggs[.]” Therefore, throughout the CVMSHCP area—both within and without Conservation Areas— Permittees must ensure that activities occurring within their jurisdictions do not result in Comment 5-4 981 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 9 the take, possession, or destruction of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs. Any activity occurring within the CVMSHCP area that results in the take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs would be unlawful and would not be a Covered Activity under the CVMSHCP. Per IA Section 13.2, the City is obligated to ensure the projects to which it confers Take Authorization under the CVMSHCP comply with all terms and requirements of the CVMSHCP, the Wildlife Agencies’ Permits that create the CVMSHCP, and the IA, including compliance with laws that protect burrowing owls. Page 1-2 of the MND states that “as a programmatic-level document, however, this CEQA analysis is not anticipated to provide sufficient detail to fully address the project- specific impacts of all future development. Indeed, it is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects once sufficient details are known.” CDFW agrees that a project-specific analysis of impacts to burrowing owl, which is needed to inform project-specific avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, is necessary for each of the projects covered in the MND that contain suitable habitat for burrowing owl. Page 19 of the Project’s Special-Status Species Report indicates that burrowing owl have a moderate potential to occur for projects covered in the MND. CDFW agrees that the project areas that contain vacant land, including but not limited to potential development areas ADN- 01, DJN-1, DJS-1, WAS-01, and ADS-2 have suitable habitat for burrowing owl. Also, potential development areas ADN-01, DJN-1, WAN-02, and WAN-01 are located adjacent to the Whitewater River, which provides suitable habitat for burrowing owl. Page 19 of the Special-Status Species Report states that the “nearest records on the CNDDB are approximately three miles away, and are from 1927 to 2007 (CDFW 2022).” CDFW adds that unprocessed data from the California Natural Diversity Database include three recent observations, between 2021 and 2023, of burrowing owl using burrows within 0.25 miles of Project site to the east in a channel associated with the Whitewater River. Page 3 of the Biological Report indicates that a reconnaissance field survey was conducted on February 4, 2023, and that “no protocol -level surveys for wetlands, SNCs, special status plants, or wildlife were conducted.” A habitat assessment and focused surveys for burrowing owls have not been conducted for the projects covered in this MND. Given the MND’s lack of findings from a habitat assessment and recent focused surveys for burrowing owl following the guidelines in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, the number and locations of suitable and occupied burrows within the project areas covered in this MND are unknown. Given the lack of results from a habitat assessment and focused surveys following recommended protocols and the lack of survey reports, CDFW is limited in its ability to provide biological expertise to support the City in reducing impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant for the projects covered in this MND. CDFW recommends a habitat assessment and focused surveys for burrowing owl are conducted for all of the projects covered in this MND and that the survey results, including survey reports, are provided in subsequent CEQA environmental review documents for the public and CDFW to review. Comment 5-4 (cont.) 982 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 10 The MND includes a general Mitigation Measure BIO-4 to be applied across projects covered in the MND. CDFW finds Mitigation Measure BIO-4 to be insufficient in scope and timing to reduce impacts to burrowing owl to a level less than significant. For example, Mitigation Measure BIO-4 indicates that burrowing owl relocation may be implemented by the Project (page 3-20). Burrowing owl relocation is considered a potentially significant impact under CEQA and should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated. Burrowing owl relocation (i.e., eviction/passive and active relocation) can result in take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs, which is not authorized under the CVMSHCP. Consultation with CDFW is warranted to determine if an Incidental Take Permit is necessary to avoid a violation of Fish and Game code section 2080. CDFW recommends that the City revise general Mitigation Measure BIO-4 with the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough: Mitigation Measure BIO-4: Burrowing Owl Habitat Assessment and Focused and Pre-Construction Surveys No less than 60 days prior to the start of Project-related activities for all projects covered in the MND, a burrowing owl habitat assessment shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the specifications of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Department of Fish and Game, March 2012 or most recent version) for all projects covered under the MND. If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit Comment 5-4 (cont.) 983 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 11 under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. Prior to the start of Project activities, focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance, minimization, and monitoring actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites, acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures if avoidance is proposed. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow cannot be avoided, the Burrowing Owl Plan shall also describe relocation actions that will be implemented. Proposed implementation of burrow exclusion and closure should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated as exclusion is not in itself an avoidance, minimization, or mitigation method and has the possibility to result in take. If impacts to occupied burrows cannot be avoided, information shall be provided regarding adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls along with proposed relocation actions. The Permittee shall implement the Burrowing Owl Plan following CDFW review and approval. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG 2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidance provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. 3) Lake and Streambed Alteration Program Comment 5-4 (cont.) 984 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 12 Fish and Game Code section 1602 requires any person, state or local governmental agency, or public utility to notify CDFW prior to beginning any activity that may do one or more of the following: divert or obstruct the natural flow of any river, stream, or lake; change the bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream, or lake; use material from any river, stream, or lake; or deposit or dispose of material into any river, stream, or lake. Note that "any river, stream, or lake" includes those that are episodic (i.e., those that are dry for periods of time) as well as those that are perennial (i.e., those that flow year- round). This includes ephemeral streams, desert washes, and watercourses with a subsurface flow. The MND is a programmatic-level document, and it is anticipated that additional environmental technical studies or CEQA documentation may be needed for future projects associated with this MND once sufficient details are known (page 1-2 of the MND). Four of the projects covered in this MND are located adjacent to the Whitewater River, including potential development areas WAN-01, WAN-02, ADN-01, and DJN-1. Page 4 of the Biological Assessment indicates that the “Project does not involve alteration of the Whitewater River, including the channel and floodplain. There will be no impact to the Whitewater River or jurisdictional wetlands.” CDFW is concerned about the validity of this conclusion that projects adjacent to the Whitewater River will have not impacts on fish and wildlife resources subject to Fish and Game Code section 1600 et seq. CDFW notes that the MND lacks details on design plans for projects covered in the MND, and that project-specific design plans are needed to inform if projects will result in impacts on fish and wildlife resources subject to Fish and Game Code section 1600 et seq. The MND includes Mitigation Measure BIO-6, indicating that “prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the Project Sponsor shall obtain written correspondence from CDFW stating that notification under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code is not required for the Project, or the Project Sponsor should obtain a CDFW-executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, authorizing impacts to Fish and Game Code Section 1602 resources associated with the Project.” Importantly, CDFW notes that the MND does not provide information on the projects for which this measure would apply. CDFW recommends that the MND is revised to indicate that for all projects covered in this MND, subsequent CEQA documentation will include a project-specific analysis of potential impacts to fish and wildlife resources subject to Fish and Game Code section 1600 et seq. to inform if a notification of lake or streambed alteration needs to be submitted to CDFW. 4) Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Local Development Mitigation Fee The Project is located within the CVMSHCP Plan Boundary and outside of a Conservation Area and contains habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities. Page 3-16 of the MND states that the “according to the CVMSHCP, authorization of take for all species with a moderate potential to occur, except the six bird species, can be obtained through compliance with the CVMSHCP and the Local Comment 5-6 Comment 5-5 985 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 13 Development Mitigation Fee (LDMF) paid to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission”. Per CVMSHCP Section 5.2.1.1 and IA Sections 12.2.1 and 13.2, the City is obligated to impose a local development mitigation fee for new development within the Plan Area that impacts vacant land containing Habitat for Covered Species and/or conserved natural communities, including small vacant lots within urban areas that contain natural open space, and to transmit collected fees to CVCC at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats. To document the City’s obligation to impose and transmit a Local Development Mitigation Fee for projects covered in this MND, CDFW recommends the City add the following mitigation measure to a revised MND: Mitigation Measure BIO-[B]: CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit for all projects covered in the MND, the City shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of fees, at least quarterly and prior to impacts to Covered Species and their Habitats, to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. Salvage of Sand-Dependent Covered Species Section 6.6.1 of the CVMSHCP (Obligations of Local Permittees) states that within and outside Conservation Areas “on parcels approved for Development, the Permittees shall encourage the opportunity to salvage Covered sand-dependent species in accordance with the Implementation Manual.” Page 3-18 of the MND indicates that “Wildlife species covered by the CVMSHCP that have a moderate potential to occur include Palm Springs Round-tailed Ground Squirrel [(Xerospermophilus tereticaudus chlorus )], Burrowing Owl, Flat-tailed Horned Lizard [(Phrynosoma mcallii)], Coachella Valley Fringe-tailed Lizard [(Uta inornata)], and the Coachella Giant Sand Treader Cricket [(Macrobaenetes valgum)].” The Project areas including potential development area DJS-1 contain CVMSHCP modeled habitat for Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard. To be consistent with CVMSHCP requirements, CDFW recommends that the City include in a revised MND the following mitigation measure: Mitigation Measure BIO-[C]: Salvage of Sand-Dependent Covered Species Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities, for all project areas covered in the MND that contain suitable habitat for sand-dependent Covered Species, the City will collaborate with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission to plan and implement a salvage of sand-dependent Covered Species within the Project site. 5) Artificial Nighttime Lighting Comment 5-6 (cont.) 986 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 14 Several of the projects associated with this MND are located adjacent to the Whitewater River, an area that provides suitable burrowing, nesting, roosting, foraging, and refugia habitat for birds, migratory birds that fly at night, and other nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife. Artificial lighting alters ecological processes including, but not limited to, the temporal niches of species; the repair and recovery of physiological function; the measurement of time through interference with the detection of circadian and lunar and seasonal cycles; the detection of resources and natural enemies; and navigation.2 Many species use photoperiod cues for communication (e.g., bird song3), determining when to begin foraging,4 behavioral thermoregulation,5 and migration.6 Phototaxis, a phenomenon that results in attraction and movement towards light, can disorient, entrap, and temporarily blind wildlife species that experience it.10 Page 3-3 of the MND indicates that “future development facilitated by the Specific Plan may include low-impact lighting fixtures and reflective surfaces that are designed to reduce brightness, which would enhance visual comfort and safety without contributing to light pollution.” The MND includes Mitigation Measure BIO-5, requiring that “during Project construction and operation, the City shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City shall ensure that lighting for Project activities is shielded, cast downward, and does not spill over onto the properties or upward into the night sky following International Dark-Sky Association standards.” The MND lacks information on project(s) to which this mitigation measure would apply. CDFW recommends the City revise Mitigation Measure BIO-5 with the following additions in bold and removals in strikethrough: Mitigation Measure BIO-5: Artificial Nighttime Lighting Throughout construction and the lifetime operations of all projects covered in the MND, the City and Project proponents shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward 2 Gatson, K.

The City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting with a correlated color temperature of 3,000 Kelvins or less, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler. During Project construction and operation, the City shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City shall ensure that lighting for Project activities is shielded, cast downward, and does not spill over onto the properties or upward into the night sky following International Dark-Sky Association standards. ENVIRONMENTAL DATA CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e).) Accordingly, please report any special-status species and natural communities detected during Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB field survey form can be filled out and submitted online at the following link: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Submitting-Data. The types of information reported to CNDDB can be found at the following link: https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CNDDB/Plants-and-Animals. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT FILING FEES The Project, as proposed, would have an impact on fish and/or wildlife, and assessment of environmental document filing fees is necessary. Fees are payable upon filing of the Notice of Determination by the Lead Agency and serve to help defray the cost of environmental review by CDFW. Payment of the environmental document filing fee is required in order for the underlying Project approval to be operative, vested, and final. (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, § 753.5; Fish & G. Code, § 711.4; Pub. Resources Code, § 21089.) CONCLUSION CDFW appreciates the opportunity to comment on the MND to assist the City in identifying and mitigating Project impacts to biological resources. CDFW concludes that the MND does not adequately identify or mitigate the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, impacts to biological resources. CDFW recommends that revised and additional mitigation measures and analysis as described in this letter be added to a revised MND. CDFW personnel are available for consultation regarding biological resources and strategies to avoid and minimize impacts. Questions regarding this letter or further Comment 5-7 (cont.) 988 Cheri Flores City of La Quinta June 23, 2025 Page 16 coordination should be directed to Jacob Skaggs, Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist, at jacob.skaggs@wildlife.ca.gov.

Species to be addressed should include all those which meet the CEQA definition (CEQA Guidelines § 15380). The inventory should address seasonal variations in use of the Project area and should not be limited to resident species. Focused species-specific surveys, completed by a qualified biologist and conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable are required. Acceptable species-specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where necessary. Note that CDFW generally considers biological field assessments for wildlife to be valid for a one-year period, and assessments for rare plants may be considered valid for a period of up to three years. Some aspects of the proposed Project may warrant periodic updated surveys for certain sensitive taxa, particularly if the Project is proposed to occur over a protracted time frame, or in phases, or if surveys are completed during Timing: Prior to Project construction activities.

Mitigation Measure BIO-3: Nesting Birds Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than 3 days prior to all vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities for all projects covered in this MND. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance. Timing: No more than 3 days prior to all vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities.

If the habitat assessment demonstrates suitable burrowing owl habitat, then focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground- disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately, and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance and monitoring actions, including measures necessary to avoid take of burrowing owl individuals, nests, and eggs. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites (occupied site means at least one burrowing owl or its sign has been observed within the last three years; may be indicated by owl sign including feathers, pellets, prey remains, eggshell fragments, or excrement at or near a burrow entrance or perch site), acres of Timing: Habitat Assessment: No less than 60 days prior to the start of project-related activities. Focused surveys: Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities.

If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow(s) or burrowing owl individuals, nests, or eggs cannot be avoided, appropriate CESA authorization (i.e., Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code section 2081) should be obtained from CDFW prior to commencement of Project activities. Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be repeated when there is a pause in construction of more than 30 days. Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Avoidance and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities.

As a planning-level environmental document, the IS/MND is intended to guide future development within the Specific Plan area. It is supported by a biological technical report based on field investigations and a review of habitat types, species occurrences, and the likelihood of special -status species within the Specific Plan boundaries. The document identifies potential biological impacts at a programmatic level and recommends mitigation measures that future development can reference. Less than one-third of the Specific Plan area housing units will be on undeveloped land, further focusing growth within already disturbed or developed areas. The IS/MND has been revised to incorporate CDFW’s suggested avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, which will help inform and guide project-level environmental review. The City agrees that future development projects should conduct project-specific biological resource assessments to further evaluate potential impacts and develop site-specific measures that avoid or minimize effects on sensitive species and habitats. By incorporating CDFW’s recommendations, the IS/MND provides a framework to ensure future development remains consistent with CEQA and avoids or reduces biological impacts to less -than- significant levels. Comment 5-2: The City understands and appreciates CDFW’s concerns regarding the adequacy of the biological resources analysis and the importance of maintaining current, site -specific data to support CEQA review. The IS/MND is intended to provide a planning-level understanding of biological resources and habitat conditions within the Specific Plan area. It draws upon field investigations and a biological technical study to inform the analysis and offer a framework to guide future development. However, we recognize that development will occur incrementally over the next 20-25 years, and site conditions may change over time. To address this, the IS/MND has incorporated the recommended mitigation measure related to the Assessment of Biological Resources into the IS/MND to help ensure future projects establish accurate environmental baselines and adequately address potential impacts to biological resources. Comment 5-3: The City appreciates CDFW’s detailed comments and recommendations regarding protections for nesting birds and compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code sections. We understand and appreciate CDFW’s concerns and agree that protecting nesting birds and their habitat is essential. In response, the City has revised Mitigation Measure BIO-3 to incorporate CDFW’s recommended additions, including updated buffer distances and avoidance measures. These revisions strengthen the mitigation and better ensure that impacts to nesting birds are reduced to less than significant levels. Comment 5-4: Thank you for your comments regarding protections for the western burrowing owl under California Endangered Species Act (CESA), the Fish and Game Code, and the CVMSHCP. The City understands that burrowing owl is now a candidate species under CESA and must be fully protected during the candidacy period and recognizes that take of individuals, nests, or eggs is not authorized under the CVMSHCP and that any relocation or other activity resulting in take would 996 require consultation with CDFW and potentially an Incidental Take Permit under Fish and Game Code Section 2081. In response to CDFW’s comments, the City has revised Mitigation Measure BIO-4 to incorporate CDFW’s recommended measures. These include requiring a habitat assessment and focused surveys for future development following the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation, applying appropriate avoidance buffers, and ensuring relocation is only considered as a last resort and in coordination with CDFW. Comment 5-5: The City agrees and understands that all future development within the Specific Plan area must evaluate potential impacts to the Whitewater River, particularly for sites adjacent to the river, including WAN-01, WAN-02, ADN-01, and DJN-01. Mitigation Measure BIO-6 emphasizes that future projects should consult with CDFW to determine if a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement is necessary. Comment 5-6: This comment is noted. The City recognizes the significance of adhering to the requirements of the CVMSHCP and ensuring compliance. This includes obligations related to the Local Development Mitigation Fee and the salvage of sand-dependent Covered Species where applicable. The City has adopted Ordinance No. 487 (Chapter 3.34 of the La Quinta Municipal Code) regarding the collection of the LDMF and does collect the LDMF at building permit issuance. The City has revised Mitigation Measure BIO-7 to incorporate the suggested language provided by CDFW regarding both the Local Development Mitigation Fee and salvage of sand-dependent species. This will ensure that future development projects covered under the IS/MND remain consistent with the CVMSHCP. Comment 5-7: The City appreciates CDFW’s detailed comments regarding the potential impacts of artificial lighting on wildlife habitat adjacent to the Whitewater River. The City understands the importance of minimizing light pollution to protect nocturnal and crepuscular species and their ecological processes. The IS/MND is consistent with the City’s lighting standards as outlined in the Municipal Code and the General Plan, which emphasize responsible lighting practices that reduce impacts on wildlife and preserve night sky quality. In response to your recommendations, the City has revised Mitigation Measure BIO-6 to strengthen the requirements for shielding, directing, and minimizing lighting impacts. These revisions will ensure that future development within the Specific Plan area follows best practices for nighttime lighting to protect sensitive species and habitats near the Whitewater River. 997 “Improving lives and communities through transportation” 1 June 23, 2025 Route & Postmile #: SR 10 / 52.094 Cross Street: Multiple GTS ID: 36629 SCH #: 2025050964 City of La Quinta Planning Division Attn: Cheri Flores 78495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253. Subject: Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and Development Code MND LDR Response The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Local Development Review (LDR) Branch has completed its review of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and Development Code. This review involved a thorough evaluation of the proposed project’s potential impacts on the state transportation system, including considerations related to traffic operations, safety, and compliance with applicable state regulations. Caltrans’ assessment ensures that necessary mitigation measures are identified to minimize any adverse effects on regional mobility and public safety as the Specific Plan advances toward implementation. The City of La Quinta is developing a Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and Development Code to transform a key two-mile retail corridor—responsible for 75% of the City's sales tax—into a vibrant, mixed-use area. The plan promotes integrated commercial, residential, and recreational development, supported by improved infrastructure and transportation access, including Highway 111 and the Coachella Valley Link. The Development Code provides location-specific standards and land use guidelines. Replacing previous plans, this initiative aligns with the City's General Plan and aims to enhance connectivity, encourage economic growth, and improve overall quality of life. We applaud the City of La Quinta for taking proactive and forward-thinking steps to support multimodal and transit-oriented development. By prioritizing integrated transportation options and mixed-use planning, the City is fostering a more accessible, sustainable, and vibrant community. These efforts not only enhance mobility and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles but also promote economic vitality, improve public health, and contribute to a higher quality of life for residents and visitors alike. DISTRICT 8 464 WEST 4TH STREET SAN BERNARDINO CA, 92401 (909) 925-7520 www.dot.ca.gov Comment Letter #6 998 “Improving lives and communities through transportation” 2 Based on the information provided, we are submitting the following comments and recommendations for your consideration: Local Development Review 1. Public Transit – We encourage the City of La Quinta to continue its strong coordination with SunLine Transit Agency to ensure the Highway 111 Corridor remains accessible and well- connected via public transit. Ongoing collaboration will be essential to developing a truly multimodal transportation network that supports current and future transit needs, reduces traffic congestion, and enhances mobility for all users, including residents, workers, and visitors. 2. Future Developments - We encourage the City of La Quinta to continue supporting future mixed-use and high-density residential development within and around the Specific Plan area. Such efforts are key to reducing VMT and advancing more sustainable, efficient land use patterns that align with regional housing and climate goals. 3. Bicycle Connectivity - We encourage the City of La Quinta to strengthen connections between the Specific Plan area and the existing bike lane network to promote active transportation. Enhancing bicycle infrastructure will support increased ridership among employees and visitors, reduce vehicle dependency, and contribute to a more sustainable and accessible community. 4. Bike Parking and End-of-Trip Facilities - To support and encourage bicycle commuting, the project should incorporate secure bike parking—such as racks and lockers—at key destinations throughout the Specific Plan area. Additionally, providing end-of-trip amenities like showers and changing facilities at workplaces will further promote cycling as a practical and convenient mode of transportation. 5. VMT Mitigation Measures - Property owners, building owners, and tenants are encouraged to implement VMT reduction measures the maximum extent feasible, in order to support sustainability goals and reduce VMT. System Planning 1. Section 2.0 – Project Description (PDF pp. 19–30) - The Project Description highlights Highway 111 as a “major arterial corridor,” promoting walkability and multimodal improvements. However, no details are provided on how access modifications or development impacts to SR-111, especially at key intersections like Jefferson and Washington Streets, will be managed. It is recommended that the MND specify whether access or signal timing will be modified and clarify whether this would require Caltrans coordination. 2. Section 3.17 – Transportation (PDF pp. 154–160); Appendix G - The MND claims VMT reductions due to mixed-use development but fails to quantify VMT or compare against regional significance thresholds, as required under SB 743. A quantified VMT analysis using SCAG or Caltrans screening tools should be included. ---Reference the regional SCAG thresholds and provide modeled estimates, not just qualitative assumptions. 3. Section 2.5 – Mobility & Access Framework (PDF pp. 23–25); Section 3.17 – Transportation (p. 158) - While promoting walkability and CV Link integration, the plan lacks measurable multimodal performance standards. Recommend referencing Caltrans Smart Mobility Framework, LTS indicators for cycling, and Complete Streets design standards such as protected bike lanes or sidewalk coverage targets. 4. Section 2.0 – Project Description (pp. 21–22); Appendix G – Transportation - Freight operations are not addressed despite the corridor’s commercial character. The MND should evaluate freight circulation and propose conflict mitigation strategies between trucks and pedestrians. This includes loading zone locations, delivery time restrictions, and any applicable freight Comment 6-2 Comment 6-1 999 “Improving lives and communities through transportation” 3 designation on SR-111. 5. Appendix G – Cumulative Impacts (Section 21) - Although cumulative impacts are dismissed, the Plan increases urban density and potentially impacts SHS operations. The MND should acknowledge and coordinate with SCAG’s Connect SoCal RTP/SCS, CVAG’s CV Link Implementation Plan, and Caltrans’ DSMP for SR-111 to assess growth impacts more comprehensively. Equitable Access If any Caltrans facilities are impacted by the project, they must comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards upon project completion. Additionally, the project must ensure the maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian access throughout the construction phase.

Sincerely, Janki Patel Branch Chief - Local Development Review Division of Transportation Planning Caltrans District 8 Comment 6-2 (cont.) Comment 6-3 Comment 6-4 1000 Response to Comment Letter #6, Caltrans, June 23, 2025 Comment 6-1: The City appreciates Caltrans’ comments and support for the Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan and its goals to advance sustainable, multimodal, and transit -oriented development. Ongoing coordination with SunLine Transit Agency remains a priority to ensure continued connectivity and accessibility. The Specific Plan emphasizes mixed-use and high-density development, enhanced bicycle infrastructure, and active transportation options to support sustainability, housing, and climate goals. The City also supports incorporating secure bike parking, end-of-trip facilities, and feasible VMT reduction measures to reduce vehicle dependency and promote more sustainable travel choices. Comment 6-2: The Specific Plan will have no impact on the State Highway System. Although the roadway is still referred to as “SR 111” in La Quinta, it is no longer part of the State Highway System, having been relinquished to the City in 2008. The continued use of the “SR 111” designation is due to an agreement between the County of Riverside and the Cities of Cathedral City, Coachella, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, and Palm Desert to maintain the signage for consistency and driver orientation along the original alignment. The nearest segment of SR 111 that remains par t of the State Highway System is located in Cathedral City, approximately 13 miles away – well beyond the area where the Specific Plan would have any influence on traffic operations. As this is a planning-level document, specific access or signal modifications are not yet determined. Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b)(4), the selection of VMT thresholds and methodologies is at the discretion of the lead agency. The City has carefully considered its approach and determined that the use of a qualitative analysis is appropriate for this planning-level document. It is important to note that the project area is located within a low VMT area – defined as generating less than 85% of the regional jurisdictional baseline – based on the Riverside County VMT model (see: Riverside VMT Model Webmap). In addition, land use forecasting shows that anticipated development in the corridor will generate less traffic than what is currently assumed in the City's General Plan. The City appreciates Caltrans’ recommendations but maintains that the methodology used in the IS/MND is consistent with CEQA and appropriate for this stage of planning. Additionally, the City acknowledges Caltrans’ suggestion to incorporate measurable multimodal performance standards and references such as the Smart Mobility Framework, Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) indicators, and Complete Streets design guidance. This feedback is noted for consideration in future planning and project-level design efforts. The City recognizes the suggestion to address freight circulation and potential conflicts with pedestrians along SR-111. While this planning-level document does not include a detailed freight analysis, the recommendation is noted for future project-level planning and design. While the Specific Plan proposes increased urban densities, the City sees this as a positive outcome – consistent with Caltrans’ own acknowledgment in Bullet #2 under Local Development Review. Higher-density, mixed-use development supports reduced VMT and more sustainable, multimodal travel. As a planning-level document, the IS/MND evaluates impacts at a programmatic scale. The City acknowledges the recommendation to reference regional plans and will consider these in future project-level efforts. 1001 Comment 6-3: The City understands the need to comply with ADA standards for any impacted Caltrans facilities and to maintain bicycle and pedestrian access during construction. These considerations will be addressed in future project planning and implementation. We note, however, that there are no Caltrans facilities in the area affected by the Specific Plan (see response to Comment 6-2 regarding the relinquishment) and we do not anticipate any effects on Caltrans facilities. Comment 6-4: The City acknowledges that any permanent work or temporary traffic control within Caltrans’ right-of-way will require a Caltrans-issued encroachment permit. This requirement will be advised for future project implementation. We note, however, that there are no Caltrans facilities in the area affected by the Specific Plan (see response to Comment 6-2 regarding the relinquishment) and we do not anticipate any encroachment onto Caltrans rights-of-way. 1002 RESOLUTION NO. 2026 – XXX A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SPECIFIC PLAN TO REPEAL AND REPLACE EXISTING SPECIFIC PLANS WITHIN THE HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR AREA TO FACILITATE THE HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE CASE NUMBER: SPECIFIC PLAN 2022-0002 PROJECT: HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT CODE APPLICANT: CITY OF LA QUINTA WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did, on April 7, 2026, hold a continued Public Hearing to consider approval of the Highway 111 Specific Plan and Development Code for properties within the Highway 111 Corridor Area, generally located north of Avenue 48, south of the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel, east of Washington Street, and west of Jefferson Street; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California, did, on February 24, 2026, consider the revised Development Code at City Council’s direction and suggested additional revisions to the Development Code and Specific Plan for City Council consideration; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did, on January 20, 2026, previously hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the Highway 111 Specific Plan and Development Code and continued the Public Hearing to allow additional time for staff to prepare the revised Development Code and present to Planning Commission for their review of the proposed revisions; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, did on November 18, 2025, previously hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider the Highway 111 Specific Plan and Development Code and continued the Public Hearing to a date certain to allow additional time for staff to further review the proposed Development Code with stakeholders and provide suggested revisions to the Specific Plan and Development Code if needed; and WHEREAS, the Design and Development Department published a public hearing notice in The Desert Sun newspaper on October 29, 2025, as prescribed by the Municipal Code and California Government Code.

In 2019, city staff, residents, and stakeholders came together to forge the Highway 111 Corridor Plan, which presents our vision for this area as a more vibrant, walkable, and human-oriented mixed-use district. This Highway 111 Specific Plan makes good on that promise by lending that vision a tangible dimension for near-term implementation. The Specific Plan and accompanying Highway 111 Development Code work in tandem to consolidate the multitude of existing specific plans, base zones, and varied standards into one adaptive policy framework. This Specific Plan strikes an important balance in confirming the aspirational Corridor Plan vision while establishing a common set of development standards that accommodate a wide range of development in a generous building envelope. Smartly, the plan introduces an innovative and flexible approach to the design of this district by inviting developers to create interconnected "pockets of walkability" where they see fit. Ultimately, this Specific Plan is a prescription for the long-term resiliency of our community. The corridor currently provides over 75% of our city’s sales tax revenue and is a major source of employment. The plan prepares the Corridor for more diverse housing where residents can live within steps of businesses they support. These walkable neighborhoods and inviting storefronts will include pocket parks and plazas, connected by pedestrian pathways and tree-lined streets to our Cultural Trail and the CV Link. I would like to extend my special thanks to you, our community members, property owners, and other stakeholders who worked collaboratively with our Design and Development and Public Works Departments and their consultant team. Please join me in embracing this bridge to our livable and vibrant future. Sincerely, Linda Evans, Mayor 1017 1 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PART I SPECIFIC PLAN OVERVIEW + POLICIES 1018 2 INTRODUCTION + OVERVIEW SPECIFIC PLAN POLICIES 1019 1 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 1 INTRODUCTION + OVERVIEW 1020 2 RETAIL CORRIDOR TO DESTINATION MIXED-USE COMMUNITY In 2019, the City, community-members and stakeholders co-authored a bold vision for transformation of the Highway 111 plan area. Then, as now, continued growth and development faced challenges: primarily, the decline of-brick and mortar retail demand amid a regional saturation of retail providers; and second, a shortage of affordable housing with proximity to quality jobs. Both of these challenges were recognized by the City team and engaged public. Solving both required addressing a third The Highway 111 Corridor is the economic heart of La Quinta and a major center of commerce for the Coachella Valley. Development on both sides of Highway 111 have attracted renowned retail anchors, food and beverage, services and independent businesses on which residents and the region depend. The Corridor Plan and this Specific Plan prepare the corridor for an evolution into an iconic, walkable, experience-oriented place for living, learning, working, and community. challenge: roads, open spaces, and the overall safety and quality of the public realm did not meet a standard for quality-of-life desired by residents. Derived from direct input from community-members and engaged stakeholders, the Corridor Plan provides an aspirational vision for a very different Highway 111 Corridor. Its development concepts and urban pattern together emphasize pedestrian oriented open space, complete streets lined with active frontage, infill housing development, and long-term retail center change to mixed uses. This vision proposes that Highway 111, over time, will be known as an experience-driven destination commercial and mixed use district that attracts regional visitors and which many locals call home. In short, an evolution is envisioned from a regional retail corridor to a landmark community for living, learning, working, and play. 1.1 THE EVOLUTION OF HIGHWAY 111 Partially developed Highway 111 corridor in the 1990s showing a single-land-use condition that now will evolve toward mixed-use. 1021 3 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN ENLIVENING A COMMUNITY WITH NEW EXPERIENCES AND HOUSING The Corridor's long-term role as a powerhouse for goods and services is made clear in the 2019 Corridor Plan, citing it as the source for 78% of the city's sales tax. Some 56% of La Quinta jobs are found in the plan area today according to market analysis for this plan. Still, research for the Development Strategy Study accompanying this Specific Plan found that 7.75% of leasable square footage (building area) evaluated was vacant or available. Solutions to this may align with the 67% of community-members expressing preference for more "interesting retail experiences" with "unique retail & dining." This call comes from surveys during the preparation of the Corridor Plan. Those respondents overwhelmingly desired greater local employment and local ownership in corridor businesses. Altogether, this suggests an emphasis on smaller, experience-based retail typically in finer-grained, parklike or mixed-use settings - unlike traditional in-line retail set far behind large surface parking lots. Beyond new retail formats, the highest and best development opportunities for new projects and renovation in the Study Area are middle density LAND USE EVOLUTION to over 30% of the development mix along Highway 111. This evolution demands a reconfiguration of roadway sections to make travel safer for residents, cyclists, transit, and those using neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV). In essence, circulation routes in the Corridor need to be elevated from mere automotive access to a fine grained network of multi-modal, shaded, complete streetscapes serving people first. Greater than half of residents and stakeholders stated that, after roadway repair, maintenance, and traffic light synchronization, "Building more bike lanes" (64%), "expanding sidewalks" (77%), and "Increasing transit" support (66%), were most important or somewhat important. Overall, 30% of the community stated that availability of "ease of walking" was "poor" at- best. This combined with the fact that at least 74% of residents assigned "safety" and the "overall image of the Highway 111 Corridor" as high priority means that streets in the Plan Area need to be curated as human-oriented spaces. Shade trees, shorter crosswalk distances, parkway buffers and bike lane protection are all tools used to create a heirachy of street types that make active mobility on--foot or by bicycle an attractive choice. La Quinta's HIghway 111 Corridor with typical existing in-line retail and outparcel development. La Quinta's HIghway 111 with typical existing auto- focused roadways - lacking safe crossings and bike lanes. MOBILITY EVOLUTION subsidized rental housing, compact small lot single family attached and detached workforce housing, owner-occupied medical offices and clinics, and family friendly restaurants with nearby experience or performance enlivened event spaces. Such "experiential spaces" most sought are non-summer outdoor covered patio, plaza, and garden spaces. These, according to the Development Strategy Study, constitute the next 20 years of economically viable real estate absorption. Most importantly, 78% of Corridor Plan respondents similarly "Strongly" or "Somewhat" agreed with a planning strategy that will "convert underutilized parking areas to allow infill mixed- use development." Nearly the same number, 77%, asked that the city "direct new growth to the Highway 111 Corridor" - the kind of in-demand compact community fabric envisioned in the Corridor Plan. ELEVATING STREETS TO SUPPORT MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE The Highway 111 Corridor will become a more residential neighborhood that many locals will call home. This shift toward housing as the leading infill use has already begun. During the preparation of this Specific Plan, over 250,000 square feet of housing has been added to among the existing 3.5 million square feet of commercial and retail in the Study Area. This brought the portion of total development for housing up to 7%. This Specific Plan prepares the Plan Area for at least another 1.46 million square feet of housing over 25 years – bringing housing ACTIVE USES COMPLETE STREETS 1022 4 URBAN SYSTEMS EVOLUTION EXPANDING THE ROLE OF URBAN LANDSCAPES AND SYSTEMS The livability of the public realm from the standpoint of landscape architecture was a chief concern of participants in the Corridor Plan outreach process. It is an outsized portion of that final document. Policies therein place emphasis on placemaking, streetscape, parks and open space. Landscape, way-finding, and public art constitute more than half (54%) of the overall policy outlay of the Corridor Plan. This is carried-through to this Specific Plan in a robust and detailed roadway types suite and in open space planning policies that follow. Expanded urban systems also means desert and regionally appropriate plant palettes that do more than beautify - they reflect local ecosystems, promote urban cooling, and secure water resiliency. More broadly, pedestrian pathways, like a utility, should be found regularly permeating through any new neighborhoods - especially connecting the CV Link and Cultural Trail. Requirements that open spaces be near active frontage and mixed use areas will ensure synergy between pathways, parks and community focal points. LA QUINTA'S HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR IN CONTEXT The Plan Area resides at the heart of the Coachella Valley straddling the historic Highway 111 arterial connecting all major cities in the region. These Coachella Valley communities are popularly known as resort and second- home communities, with nearly 17% of residences being secondary homes, and to a greater degree in La Quinta, where over 21% are secondary homes. The plan area hosts over 4.9% of Coachella Valley region jobs as of 2019 (6,488 in plan area, with 132,878 jobs across the valley). Demographically, La Quinta hosts a greater concentration of owner-occupied housing, higher median income, a greater portion of families (with or without children), and a slightly older age distribution than the average of Coachella Valley cities. Only a few miles from the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Polo Grounds in Indio, and La Quinta Resort, the Plan Area is surrounded by regional tourism and resort anchors. The Plan Area benefits from direct frontage along the future CV Link and the Whitewater River wash. There, views to Mt. San Gorgonio and surrounding neighborhoods lend a sense of geography and place in this desert environ.

PATHS + PARKS 1023 5 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 1.2 PLAN OVERVIEW the 2019 Corridor Plan through detailed public realm schematic design. 3. Active Transportation Program Grant Application: Prepare a grant application supported by Plans, Specifications & Estimates for a demonstration project or development site. 4. Highway 111 Corridor Form-Based Code: A new development code applicable to the entire Corridor incorporating future public and private realm infill to be consistent with the 2019 Corridor Plan. This new code would possibly replace the existing 11 specific Plans in-force, simplifying the regulatory sphere for future developers. Prior to commencing work on Phase Four the city and its planning consultants agreed a Specific Plan was needed to sufficiently replace the complex policy arrangements of 11 individual specific plans. A new development code, whether form-based or another type, would refer to this Specific Plan and both documents would support, implement, and confirm the Corridor Plan. Any such replacement plan or code would incorporate the input stakeholders provided to the adopted Corridor Plan. PURPOSE & IMPERATIVES The primary purpose of the Highway 111 Specific Plan is to provide a policy framework to guide development in the direction of a community driven vision as described in the antecedent Highway 111 Corridor Plan. In short, this Specific Plan supports and implements the vision presented in the Corridor Plan. Imperatives for this Specific Plan established in initial scoping and throughout the process include: 1. Develop a new Specific Plan, zoning code and development standards to replace the existing PROJECT ORIGINS The 2019 La Quinta 111 Highway Corridor Plan (referred to as the “Corridor Plan” in this document) and this La Quinta Highway 111 Specific Plan, referred to here as “Specific Plan,” are complementary parts of one comprehensive plan. This Specific Plan project originated as one of four inter-related Phases in an omnibus planning and design effort to implement the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The request for bids in mid-2020 originally described this project as “Form Based Code Planning Services and Engineering Services.” Administered through the city’s Department of Public Works, tasks would include both roadway and public realm engineering design, as well as urban planning. A consultant was selected in late summer of 2020. The four Phases were as originally described: 1. Form-Based Code Study: Analysis of existing zoning and regulation leading to a sample code to implement the Corridor Plan, initially on a demonstration project, and ultimately across the Corridor. 2. Complete Streets Design Concepts: Apply concepts of a multi-modal “complete streets” future described in This Specific Plan serves as a 25- year comprehensive plan for the Highway 111 Area with detailed street designs and site development concepts. The primary purpose of the plan is to consolidate existing policies while guiding future development in accordance with the 2019 Corridor Plan. specific plans in a manner which supports and implements the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. 2. Analyze regional and local real estate market, demographic trends, and existing conditions to forecast economically viable development potential. 3. Engage key stakeholders, agents and developers, especially those who are aware of the Corridor Plan, to factor their needs and intentions. 4. Design integrated conceptual development for city- led development sites, surrounding complete streets and public realm to demonstrate capacity and prepare public works. 5. Confirm affordable housing development allocations as-planned in the General Plan Housing Element for City-controlled sites. 6. Specify economically viable development types upon all potential infill parcels across the Corridor to prepare long-term moderate and maximum development scenarios. 7. Evaluate environmental impact, which is anticipated to result in an IS/MND, in support of development within the range of the moderate and maximum development scenarios. 8. Compose an actionable implementation plan with governance, staffing, program, finance and timeline recommendations, with an emphasis on catalyzing new land use development. 9. Detail anticipated public realm and public works to suit the next 25 years of development, including a strategic plan for a Cultural Trail in the Highway 111 Corridor. 1024 6 FIG 1–2: NEW SPECIFIC PLAN BOUNDS WITH EXISTING SPECIFIC PLANS + ZONES Ultimately, this Specific Plan performs a balancing act that accommodates: ●Current needs of landowning stakeholders to lease and improve existing retail and commercial development. Some infill housing is also seen in current proposals. ●Current responsibilities of the Design & Development Department to deliver on affordable housing commitments. ●Near-term objectives of the City’s Economic Development mission to introduce new types of entertainment-oriented commercial along Highway 111. ●Long-term obligations the City has to constituents who supported a walkable-mixed use alternative development future throughout the corridor. To achieve this, the Specific Plan allows development types that comport with current market realities while requiring some development to serve as the cornerstones of an urban fabric desired by the community. In this way, this Specific Plan can be described as a bridge to the long term Corridor Plan vision. PLAN DEVELOPMENT HORIZON Economic forecasts informing this plan estimate development demand through 2045, and future development is anticipated to be fully occupied by a planning horizon of 2050. Expected timing of public works and site development is presented in the action plan in five-year phases. The City is encouraged to review this Specific Plan periodically for needed updates and a full plan update or replacement is recommended by 2050. PLAN AREA AND EXISTING POLICY The Plan Area, sometimes referred to as the “Study Area,” encompasses the parcels included in the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The western extent of this area is bounded by open space at the Point Happy rock outcroping and the eastern extent is bounded by Jefferson St. The southern boundary is defined by Avenue 47 and existing residential areas, while the northern edge is defined by the Whitewater Wash and CV Link. Most parcels are subject to base zoning designations of Regional Commercial or Community Commercial. Eleven specific plans exist. Inclusive of public right-of-way bounding the parcels subject to this Specific Plan and a portion of the Whitewater wash edge dedicated to the future CV-Link trail, the study area encompasses nearly 500 acres - just over 2% of the City of La Quinta.

Through all of them, there has been an ongoing effort to provide a unified and higher quality public realm, greater support for multimodal travel, and a GENERAL PLAN AND CODE Citywide planning through the La Quinta General Plan has supported the continued understanding of the Highway 111 Corridor as the retail and commercial engine of La Quinta. The proximity of vacant parcels to surrounding employment and services has also spurred the city to identify affordable housing opportunities as a driver of infill in the Plan Area. Currently, Chapter 9 of the Municipal Code provides for four underlying zoning districts applied to Plan Area parcels, each with respective development regulations. They are the Regional Commercial (CR), Community Commercial (CC), and Commercial Park (CP) districts. There are also some small tracts designated for major community facilities, open space, and flood plain. PRIOR SPECIFIC PLANS There are 11 specific plans within the Project Area, adopted and amended at different times between 1987 and 2018. The specific plans contain visions, goals, and regulations that supersede the underlying zoning districts for each of the areas. The existing specific plan boundaries largely align with major retail center properties – each disparately addressing the needs and goals of respective property owners. This Specific Plan is the policy capstone of a long-term planning effort to guide an evolution of the Highway 111 Corridor. The input of those many planning projects are brought together here, forming an economically viable path to implement a long-term vision. more diverse mix of land uses. As early as 2011, more consistent landscape guidelines applicable to the entire corridor were adopted. In 2018, the City convened a ULI Technical Assistance Program (TAP) Study which generated urban design concepts to enhance the walkability and economic resilience of the Corridor. The TAP Study emphasized active frontages along north- south routes that would stitch across Highway 111 and the wash. In 2019, the City adopted the La Quinta Highway 111 Corridor Plan. Serving as a visioning document with many elements of an area plan, the Corridor Plan presents a community-driven desire for compact, walkable, mixed use development embedded in a more verdant, fine-grained, and cohesive public realm. This plan illustrates a high standard for landscape architecture in the public realm, a reconfiguration of Highway 111 as a complete street with parallel parking, and civic investment in detailed high-quality placemaking. CORRIDOR PLAN VS. SPECIFIC PLAN This Specific Plan carries forward and adopts the community-driven Vision of the Corridor Plan. The surveys, workshops, and interviews of that project serve as the major source of constituent engagement for this Specific Plan. However, the Specific Plan process also introduced economic research and real estate market analysis to prepare a new development demand forecast. This led to an evolution of thinking about economically viable development types - especially in the economic context of the Coachella Valley. This Plan is written to guide development achievable now but in a manner which builds toward that aspirational vision of the Corridor Plan. ULI TAP Program - Highway 111 Corridor Study emphasising north-south oriented active frontage corridors and open space 111 Highway Corridor Plan showing illustrative development scenario for mixed use and walkable development 1026 8 RECENT PLANS & POLICIES RELATED TO THIS SPECIFIC PLAN RECENT PLANS & POLICIES DIRECTLY INFORMING THIS SPECIFIC PLAN FIG 1–3: VISUAL TIMELINE OF RECENT PLANS & POLICIES Extension 1027 9 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PLANNING PROCESS The process comprised of casting the urban settings and building types sought in the Corridor Plan through the lens of economic analysis, and calibrating for implementation. Visioning: The ULI Tap Study inspired a layout concept that organized limited active frontage opportunities into north-south corridors visible to, but set back from, Highway 111. The Corridor Plan served as the primary source of development direction. It was imbued with credibility and constituent buy-in through a robust outreach process involving stakeholder interviews, a survey, and multi-day urban design workshop. Both studies, taken together, serve as a specific plan vision and starting point development layout. Phase I: Beginning in mid-2022, the planning team grounded this specific plan vision in data-driven regional economic analysis and real estate market forecasting. The analysis was primarily based in demographic trends, local land uses, and SCAG/HRNA input data. A forecast of long-term development demand followed and was based on interviews with stakeholders. Importantly, the forecast work concluded with strategic recommendations focused on economically viable development and land uses which would best fulfill the original Vision. Phase II: Concept designs for mixed-use housing-oriented projects were generated to demonstrate the capacity of city-owned lands to carry this vision, fulfill affordable housing commitments, and meet economic development objectives. The results of this capacity study were then applied to all potential development areas to the extent they would embody a full buildout as set forth in the Phase I real estate forecasts. Phase III: A final specific plan document, related code, and CEQA IS/MND were prepared to guide development in the direction of the original Corridor Plan vision through a palette of economically viable development types. A custom toolset of Strategies and Policy Frameworks was invented to meet the spectrum of needs in this evolving community. FIG 1–4: HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PROCESS OVERVIEW 1028 10 SPECIFIC PLAN STRUCTURE & HIERARCHY This Specific Plan is organized by hierarchical layers to communicate logical relationships between overall policies and location-specific directions. Each Part and Chapter speaks to different leadership and constituent audiences, while all can point to commonality in the overall Policies and their Mission statement. The Specific Plan content is tiered to represents this policy heirachy and the document is structured accordingly: ●Highway 111 Vision ○Specific Plan Mission ○Specific Plan Themes ○Specific Plan Policies ●Plan Elements ○Framework Concepts ○Approach Concepts ○Plan Element Policies + Projects ●Administration & Implementation ○General Provisions ○Initiatives ○Action Plan A new code is under separate cover and is formatted to be integrated into the Municipal Code. Specific Plan Policies and Strategies, including those among the Plan Elements, were prepared in coordination with the code. The Highway 111 Specific Plan is organized into eight Chapters across four Parts – each Part serving as a tool for varied audiences and implementers. These Parts are structured as follows: Part I: Introduces the Corridor, its historic context, current trends and anticipated future evolution. Here, the project and its origins in a long-running multi-project planning effort are also covered. This part draws connections between prior work and this Specific Plan to frame them as one planning and policy arc. Overall stakeholder guidance, policies and strategies are included. Part II: Provides a physical layout planning policies and proposals across topics, including land use, urban design, development, housing, social infrastructure, transportation, open space, and utilities. These are presented as plan element frameworks, or Corridor-wide diagrams which specify the geographic specificity of many policies and urban proposals. Part III: Prepares a broad array of governance, staffing, program, finance and timeline recommendations to effectively implement the Corridor Vision and Specific Plan over the next 2o to 25 years. Part IV: Includes supporting documentation, including economic studies and strategies, environmental reporting, and any additional technical reference tables. In summary, this Specific Plan brings operational readiness to the Vision set forth in the Corridor Plan: FIG 1–5: HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PLAN STRUCTURE DIAGRAM ASPIRATIONAL OPERATIONAL CORRIDOR PLAN SPECIFIC PLAN CODE 1029 11 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 1.4 DEVELOPMENT TYPE & ACTIVITY AREAS Paved surface parking and circulation uses as much as two-thirds of the developed plan area, according to the Corridor Plan (2019). This is in-part driven by conventional parking standards scaled to accommodate standard assumptions of peak demand. Sharing among varied land uses, more compact parking around vertical mixed use, and increases in the portion of land for housing will require less land for intensified development. Activity areas with interior visibility and outdoor use busy with human activity can be found around a few storefronts and commercial corners. Instances of this are few and far between. The best examples with This section describes existing development, levels of current streetfront activity, and includes Corridor Plan suggested redevelopment areas. LEGEND architecture that shelters and fosters that activity are found in the Plaza La Quinta shopping center at the western end of the Study Area. ●Active Frontage includes full height storefront glazing or large windows with visibility from roadway into the primary use spaces. Weather allowing, outdoor seating and active use of outdoor areas should also be present. ●Semi-Active Frontage includes any commercial shopfront with some visibility into primary use or commercial spaces, but does not utilize or engage outdoor and sidewalk areas. ●Inactive Frontage is typically windowless and human activity inside is invisible to the outside – even if the business is busy. Large retail such as big-box and supermarkets typically present this condition. Active frontage and related outdoor activity such as dining and small plazas exist in limited isolated pockets. Power center retail types dominate commercial development along Highway 111 providing future infill opportunities. 1 1 2 2 1030 12 FIG 1–6: EXISTING DEVELOPMENT, URBAN ACTIVITY & INFILL POTENTIAL 1 2 1031 13 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 2 SPECIFIC PLAN POLICIES 1032 14 SUPPORTING THE CORRIDOR PLAN VSION The Corridor Plan Vision is the source of ideas used in the Specific Plan. They are organized into Key Concepts and Guiding Principles. Supporting these are a specific Landscape Program Vision and Catalytic Projects. Guiding Principles shaping the Corridor Plan's Key Concepts: ●Preserve and enhance the successful revenue generating assets ●Create memorable experiences by orchestrating great streets and public spaces ●Leverage walkable and mixed-use development on vacant infill parcels ●Combine tactical small-scale interventions with larger scale catalytic projects ●Eliminate legal barriers to developing great places This Specific Plan presents its own array of policies and strategies that apply to the entire Plan Area. Additional policies reside with each Plan Element and their developement frameworks. The Mission of the Highway 111 Specific Plan is to enact the Vision of the Corridor Plan for a "vibrant and walkable mixed-use corridor" by affirming, refinining, and implementing its concepts, proposals and strategies. Key to this mission is a focus on simplified regulation, actionable public works designs and economic viability. Key Concepts of the Corridor Plan: 1. Redesign Highway 111 as an Iconic Arterial 2. Cultural Trail along the northern edge of Highway 111 3. Integrating Highway and the CV Link as an open space loop 4. Creating a rich frontage of buildings, parks, and greens along the CV Link 5. Use of existing parking lots for community events 6. Regulating incremental urban infill in the "island" between Highway 111 and the CV Link 7. Creating mixed-use districts along Highway 111. 2.1 ENVISIONING 2050 ON HIGHWAY 111 1033 15 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The Development Strategy Study team supporting this Specific Plan conducted eleven stakeholder interviews of property owners, their representatives, and local brokers. These interviews provided valuable guidance to refine the vision and ensure a viable plan. 2.2 KEY INPUT FROM KEY STAKEHOLDERS INTERVIEW CONCLUSIONS The City of La Quinta staff provided key stakeholder contacts, several of which were previously engaged for interviews for the Corridor Plan and initial vision development. Their input served as a mid-project check- in to ensure development concepts and policy proposals comport with the economic capacity of the corridor from their viewpoint. Those interviews are documented and summarized in the Development Strategy Study by Linda S. Congleton Associates. The conclusions of those summaries are listed here: 1. No retail anchor or mini-anchor (20-50k) voids, not already build/proposed, could be named 2. Limited undeveloped sites for infill housing or commercial new development (34.7 ac) 3. Only two sites large enough for future new residential redevelopment 4. Housing in parking lots unfeasible due to ground leases or CCRs, in size concern DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY STUDY: CHALLENGES & RECOMMENDATIONS All the major shopping center owners in the stakeholder interviews report a lack of retail anchor and mini-anchor candidates to fill unoccupied or soon-to-be-vacant space along Highway 111. Viable commercial voids suggested by the stakeholder interviewees include casual quick food users with drive-thru, medical users such as a hospital group, MRI unit, urgent care facility, or other single-user medical groups that purchase and occupy their own buildings, and family-oriented casual independent (non-chain) restaurants. A central node, where a small cluster of 3-5 independent restaurants can be enjoyed, with outdoor dining, is not available in the Study Area. This is a void in the La Quinta market—one that operators may be encouraged to fill by city staff, offering appropriate incentives. Moderate density multifamily residential market-rate apartments have been built alongside struggling anchor retailers at several under-performing national regional malls. The demolition of troubled, vacant retail rooftops, and replacement with higher-density (particularly luxury) apartments are viable opportunities in locations with strong market rents and high numbers of young, working adults and couples. La Quinta does not have the urban density and population to support significant amounts of vertical mixed-use, major entertainment, food hall uses, or additional big box retail in the Study Area, nor does it have sufficient demand for large office land uses. The city has an opportunity to encourage, throughout the plan area, the development of less-expensive, moderate-priced, compact and walkable, for sale homes, townhomes, and moderate-density apartments for workforce families. 5. Universal support for affordable housing on city sites bringing customers and workers 6. Difficult to lease retail frontage esp. small shops in affordable housing 7. Market rate multi-family rentals not feasible because rents too low to support construction 8. Small-lot single-family compact moderate price housing is a void and well received by market 9. Desert style landscapes maintain views to retail frontages while conserving water 10. No operators saw cyclist traffic as adding to sales and advise against CV Link facing fronts 11. Recommended pockets of walkability with protection due to heat and big-box patterns 12. Drive-thrus, owner-occupied medical offices and independent mid-tier restaurants are voids 13. Medical rents are too low to support new multi- tenant medical complex construction 14. Cost of fit-out in leased space unsupportable for small independent restaurant businesses 15. Mixed-support for a single specific plan due to concern of new requirements on renovation 16. Provide a single up-front presentation of full-draft Highway 111 Regulations to establish certainty with their prospective tenants and partners 17. No interviewees believed the Highway 111 itself should be a retail-lined pedestrian corridor 1034 16 The Specific Plan introduces three broad strategies to implement the Vision of the Corridor Plan. Each “layer” is distilled from the Corridor Plan to bring its most economically viable and achievable qualities to reality as the community grows. 2.3 KEY HIGHWAY 111 PLANNING STRATEGIES ENLIVEN: LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT Invite a broad range of uses that will enliven the corridor with entertainment, independent commercial and compact workforce housing. Require concentration of active frontages around key intersections in view of Highway 111, and encourage mixed use around “pockets of walkability.” ELEVATE: MOBILITY & CIRCULATION Reconfigure and elevate the role of arterials, collectors and neighborhood roadways to accommodate a more complete spectrum of transportation modes and mobility needs. Differentiate among them with streetscapes that meet pedestrian or vehicular needs based on proximity to residences or major thoroughfares. EXPAND: SHARED URBAN SYSTEMS Extend and expand a web of pedestrian-oriented off-street pathways to connect between residences, commercial centers, the CV Link, and Cultural Trail. Ensure they and roadways provide a variety of landscape approaches that are shaded, sheltered, and shared by pedestrians and vehicles. Require green pockets and Cultural Trail features as waypoints across the Plan Area.

Strategy 1.2: Focus auto-oriented, drive-thru, and small format retail development within 300’ of the Highway 111 Corridor and major arterials. Policy 2: Ensure development types and their orientation encourage pedestrian activity with active ground floor uses connected to human-oriented public spaces and streets Strategy 2.1: Incentivize vertical and horizontal mixed use building types and development phases around key internal gateways to enhance the livability and economic resiliency of the Highway 111 Corridor. Strategy 2.2: Require active ground floor frontages for new development at key internal gateways and roadways to advance walkable urban environments off-of, but connected-to, the Highway 111 Corridor. Strategy 2.3: Permit or Incentivize development types, uses, and installations which bring permanent activity to outdoor and frontage spaces in retail and mixed use settings. Policy 3: Shape a built environment suitable for walkable, safe, sustainable living that emphasizes human scaled buildings and spaces. Strategy 3.1: Identify and require urban form that supports human scale commercial and residential projects, especially emphasizing active frontage and public space to anchor and coordinate new development. Strategy 3.2: Delineate and codify urban massing along corridors with active ground floor use recommendation to achieve an “urban room” around streetscapes and pedestrian spaces. Strategy 3.3: Designate higher minimum residential development intensities for the heart of the Highway 111 Corridor to secure adequate workforce housing supply and affordability.

LAND USE & URBAN DESIGN 1036 18 Policy 4: Support a retail retention approach while collaboratively facilitating more human scaled, pedestrian oriented commercial development types and activity. Strategy 4.1: Craft development regulations with flexibility to allow existing commercial establishments to update and remodel their building frontages with a broad range of development concepts that respond to innovations in retail formats and commercial service models. Strategy 4.2: Facilitate collaboration and flexibility in applying development controls when reviewing and permitting innovative activities, uses, and adaptive reuse proposals of commercial and retail sites – especially those which may support the Vision and other Land Use Policies. Strategy 4.3: Ensure that new standards are applied only to new infill projects and redevelopment in a manner that does not require land owners and tenants to renovate existing properties. Policy 5: Take measures to meet La Quinta’s affordable housing need allotted for lands within the Highway 111 Corridor area as determined at the adoption of this Specific Plan. Strategy 5.1: Reserve properties identified in the most recent General Plan Housing Element for delivery of moderate and low/very low-income affordable housing allotments. Strategy 5.2: Collaborate with developers to identify plan alternatives to non-housing uses on lands identified for affordable housing to deliver mixed use sites that achieve affordable housing goals. Strategy 5.3: Balance the allotment of future affordable dwelling units among potential development sites within the Highway 111 Corridor study area to maintain commitments to housing affordability in the Housing Element. Strategy 5.4: Facilitate and incentivize affordable housing to be developed as demonstration projects for the type of high quality livable and walkable urban settings desired in the vision for the Highway 111 Corridor. ENLIVENING Strategy 6.1: Evaluate and implement new facilities or transportation investments to provide access to education and training institutions for all age groups and the needs among new residents. Strategy 6.2: Encourage the co-location of education, childcare, training, job finding, library and conference, safety and security, medical, and other community services with new residential uses. Policy 6: Equip new residential communities in the Highway 111 Corridor with adequate access to the social, educational, and government resources needed for its workforce, individuals and families to thrive. HOUSING & COMMUNITY RESOURCES 1037 19 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Policy 9: Introduce a finer grained urban grid through infill and redevelopment projects applying road types that emphasize pedestrian comfort and safety - especially in new residential uses. Policy 7: Coordinate a circulation network and roadway hierarchy that emphasizes multi-modal travel, including more transit, active transportation, and pedestrians in a safer setting. CIRCULATION & ACTIVE MOBILITY Strategy 7.1: Continue a balanced approach to vehicular and non-vehicular safety, throughput, access, and beautification priorities for Highway 111, Washington and Jefferson Streets. Strategy 7.2: Prioritize pedestrian and alternative transportation comfort, safety, and navigability, for Adams St, Dune Palms Rd, Corporate Center Dr, and Avenue 47 / Auto Center Dr to better serve new residential and mixed-use development. Policy 8: Ensure development site plans extend from existing roadway and drive aisle alignments to enhance through-project connectivity, consistency with context, and neighborhood navigability. Strategy 8.1: Require that new Drives and Collector road types extend from existing alignments and intersections to organize new development patterns as extensions of their surrounding context. Strategy 8.2: Encourage that local streets and the smallest scale roadways (side streets, parking aisles alleys) frame a consistent and grid-like block pattern in conjunction with new Drives and Collector road types at infill and redevelopment projects. Strategy 9.1: Encourage plans that consist of smaller blocks than in the current development context, emphasizing block lengths of 150’ to 400’ with internal rights-of-way less than 80’ wide. Strategy 9.2: Require east-west and north-south mid- block publicly accessible pedestrian passages, and mid- block pedestrian crossings, spaced no more than 400’ from Collectors and Drives.

Strategy 10.1: Prioritize Neighborhood and District Corridors as the primary routes for pedestrian and active transportation facilities, over Major Arterials and Highway 111. Strategy 10.2: Implement the CV-Link and Cultural Trail as important components of the pedestrian and active transportation network, with shared use off-street connections between them every ¼ mile. Policy 11: Modernize the City’s parking approach to support park- once and shared-parking strategies across each of the corridor sub- areas to advance livability and economic performance. Strategy 11.1: Apply a low minimum; potentially, a 50% reduction in parking required throughout the Highway 111 Corridor, with parking provisions for the Village Build-Out Plan as a model code. Strategy 11.2: Apply a maximum; potentially, a 15% reduction below the Municipal Code standard for on-site parking, in accordance with the Shared Use Parking ordinance. Strategy 11.3: Include site development standards that require short-term or flex-zone / drop-off zone parking turn outs at each residential development to support ride-share and delivery needs. ELEVATING 1039 21 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Policy 14: Develop a cohesive wayfinding system that makes 111 Highway Corridor resources and destinations navigable for residents and visitors while also communicating a single urban brand. Strategy 12.1: Maintain the Corridor with its regionally appropriate existing landscapes in a manner which affords visibility to surrounding businesses, communicates a vibrant and consistent district urban brand, and integrates the new Cultural Trail as a pedestrian resource valued for its storytelling, placemaking, and walkability. Strategy 12.2: Configure District Corridors, such as Adams St and Dune Palms Rd, as multi-modal tree-lined and regionally resilient streetscapes that provide a sense of entry from into a more mixed use and livable district, and which provide significant buffering between travel way and surrounding development. Strategy 12.3: Configure Neighborhood Corridors such as Corporate Center Dr, Avenue 47, and Auto Center Dr as more human scaled streetscapes that support active ground floor uses, walkability and environmental comfort, and are highly furnished for use by residents and visitors. Strategy 12.4: Prepare differentiated intersection landscape treatments that serve as gateways between Roadway corridors of different hierarchy and at entries into new infill developments. Strategy 14.1: Use a kit-of-parts signage and wayfinding system that includes public realm and private realm information and directional elements, consistently applied across the Highway 111 Corridor. Strategy 14.2: Design and install gateway elements as part of roadway landscapes at entry points into the Highway 111 Corridor. Strategy 14.3: Continually maintain, protect, and update wayfinding infrastructure specific to the Highway 111 Corridor in a program supplemental to existing landscape maintenance programs. Policy 12: Prepare public realm landscapes that enhance urban resiliency, walkability, mitigate heat, and offer distinctive streetscapes attuned to the unique role of each roadway corridor. Policy 13: Designate parks and open space reserves systemically throughout the 111 Highway Corridor attached to internal project gateways and Neighborhood- Oriented corridors. Strategy 13.1: Establish minimum standards of new open space facilities to ensure the Highway 111 Corridor provides livability and urban resilience. Strategy 13.2: Focus parks and open space facilities at recommended Open Space Nodes, along north- south Collector and Arterial roadways, within new infill development, and along project entry routes leading from intersections at Highway 111. Strategy 13.3: Identify public realm streets and private parking areas to serve as potential outdoor event spaces for programmed events – facilitated by design and use guidelines and operated or approved through City programs.

LANDSCAPE & OPEN SPACE 1040 22 Policy 15: Compose development standards that ensure the private realm is a continuation of a high- quality public realm with shading, buffering, accessibility, and legible human-scaled spaces. Strategy 15.1: Achieve a minimum standard of pedestrian accessibility between major roadway corridors and trails, and through the middle of project sites for new infill and redevelopment projects. Strategy 15.2: Avoid walled enclaves, and maintain visual access, while ensuring private realm landscapes provide selective visual screening, shading, and buffering for sensitive uses. Strategy 15.3: Collaborate with land owners and businesses to ensure private realm signage suits existing uses while ensuring a consistent high quality in new projects. Strategy 15.4: Ensure consistent outdoor furnishing and pedestrian lighting throughout the Highway 111 Corridor area at pedestrian areas and at in-fill residential projects and redevelopment projects. Policy 16: Build a sustainable utility network to meet or exceed the full scale of future development, installing facilities that enable individuals and communities to thrive with less impact. Strategy 16.1: Attempt to achieve full supply of irrigation water for new development sites from non-potable or “purple pipe” water sources that include recycled wastewater. Strategy 16.2: Encourage solar PV shading over surface parking spaces for projects on City owned lands or those sold to developers with public funds and partnerships. Strategy 16.3: Perform utility planning and alignment studies to understand utility supply, facility sizing, and programming, in anticipation of new and infill development – especially for bid packages. Strategy 17.1: Require that new commercial and retail development provide publicly accessible shaded areas with shade structures or trellises with a minimum coverage equivalent to 5% of project new building footprint with greater coverage being highly desired. Strategy 17.2: Consider development code standards for primarily south, and east / west facing facades to achieve different solar gain and thermal mass responses to respective sun angles. Strategy 17.3: Apply a tree canopy coverage standard to support passive pedestrian cooling and comfort at outdoor gathering areas and walkways using regionally appropriate drought tolerant species. Policy 17: Mitigate urban heat through urban forestry, development standards, shading, passive cooling, throughout the 111 Highway Corridor while supporting effective means of reducing climate impacts. EXPANDING URBAN SYSTEMS & RESILIENCY 1041 23 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Envisioning the Specific Plan's three strategic layers working in unison illustrates how the policies and strategies synergize to foster a higher quality of life for those who will live in or visit the Highway 111 Corridor. ENVISIONING WHOLISTIC GROWTH ENLIVEN: LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT Enliven with housing, cafes, and pop-up activities all within walking distance: Drive-thrus, car wash, and other auto-oriented commercial continue as the Highway 111 frontage with more walkable development behind (Strategy 1.2). Moderate density housing with ground-floor cafes and services will cluster around internal gateways known as Active Frontage Nodes. (Strategy 1.2). Development massing for major new projects will create shaded and sheltered community spaces oriented around people rather than cars (Strategy 3.2). ELEVATE: MOBILITY & CIRCULATION Elevate streets to be more than parking, to be the "living room" of the community: This entry drive aisle connects from a secondary arterial and conforms to a block pattern established throughout the Highway 111 Corridor (Strategy 8.2). Smaller block sizes with right-of-way or access that cuts through development will enhance a sense of community and interconnection. (Strategy 9.1). Relying on the phenomenon of park-once behavior with shared parking areas reduces the size of parking lots amidst mixed-use areas (Strategy 11.1). EXPAND: SHARED URBAN SYSTEMS Expand the role of public realm to provide small pathways and active open spaces: Parking areas, plazas, and pathways will be established in site design as platforms for events, markets, and creative or temporary retail (Strategy 13.3). Paseos through development will enhance the permeability of projects and increase connection between Highway 111 and the CV Link (Strategy 15.1). Shaded open spaces for dining, entertainment, resident facilities (i.e., exercise or common rooms) will expand ways to enjoy the Corridor. (Strategy 17.1). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 4 8 Fig 2–2: Illustration of Development Potential near Dune Palms Rd Drawing for illustrative purposes only.1042 24 2 3 5 6 7 9 1043 25 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Fig 2–3: Illustration of Development Potential at La Quinta Dr near Highway 111 Drawing for illustrative purposes only.1044 26 VIBRANT & WALKABLE PLACES Active frontages with outdoor uses situated between residential and commercial areas helps them to be economically aligned while fostering neighborhood character, and sought-after walkable places. ENLIVEN: LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT Enliven the Corridor as a more experience-driven and resident-oriented district: Active frontages with outdoor seating or shopfronts with street visibility reconfigure Highway 111 as an "experience oriented" Corridor (Strategy 2.2). City-led affordable housing development can serve as demonstration sites which promote the design of more livable and walkable growth (Strategy 5.4). Ground floor frontage of moderate density residential is an opportunity for community resources such as job training or local clinics (Strategy 6.2). ELEVATE: MOBILITY & CIRCULATION Elevate entry roads to be multi-modal collectors that emphasize active mobility: Roadways into new development, such as La Quinta Dr, extend from existing Highway 111 intersections and will organize development. (Strategy 8.1). Roadways within development sites such as La Quinta Dr and Corporate Center Dr will emphasize bike lanes, parkways, and sidewalks (Strategy 10.1). Dedicated curb spaces for drop-off and on-demand transportation will reduce the need for surface parking and support share mobility (Strategy 11.3). EXPAND: SHARED URBAN SYSTEMS Expand outdoor activity along furnished, shaded, tree-lined streetscape frontages: Collector roadways entering development sites should be a showcase of pedestrian-oriented high-quality public realm (Strategy 12.3). Pedestrian crossings and intersections with differentiated paving, framed by an enhanced landscape palette will highlight internal gateways (Strategy 12.4). A single kit-of-parts signage and wayfinding system will convey a consistent and high-quality district brand to residents and visitors (Strategy 14.1). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 1045 27 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN ACTIVE REGIONAL LINKAGES Residents and visitors in the Corridor need places and networks that balance automotive and human mobility. Here, open space and activation work together at transitions which resonate for the region. ENLIVEN: LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT Enliven the Corridor experience with creative retail and pedestrian only spaces: Introducing pedestrian-only retail and pedestrian dedicated spaces will expand the ways residents and visitors can use and enjoy the Corridor (Strategy 1.1). Focus on supporting and permitting creative commercial concepts and development types that contribute to active outdoor uses (Strategy 2.3). Collaboration and flexibility will ensure creative, unique, and independent retail concepts will enliven new spaces within the Corridor (Strategy 4.1). ELEVATE: MOBILITY & CIRCULATION Elevate the circulation network to integrate regional active mobility connections: Corporate Center Dr (shown here) should protect pedestrians with curb bump- outs, parkways, shade trees, and buffered bike lanes (Strategy 7.2). Paseos and passageways through development will enhance walkability with connections and accessibility to open spaces and the CV Link (Strategy 9.2). The CV Link will interconnect new housing, retail experiences, and community open spaces; and, it will connect Highway 111 to the region (Strategy 10.2). EXPAND: SHARED URBAN SYSTEMS Expand the supply of open space in conjunction with pedestrian through-linkages: Pocket parks and civic open spaces should be established on pedestrian connections between Highway 111 and the CV Link (Strategy 13.2). Where roadways terminate at development sites, pedestrian pathways should continue through to connect to major linkages like the CV Link (Strategy 15.1). The high-quality and recognizability of the Highway 111 Corridor will also depend on consistent pedestrian lighting and furnishing (Strategy 15.4). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 Fig 2–4: Illustration of Development Potential at La Quinta Dr along CV Link Drawing for illustrative purposes only.1046 28 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 1047 29 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PART II PLAN ELEMENTS 1048 30 LAND USE + URBAN FORM DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS CIRCUL ATION + MOBILITY LANDSCAPE + URBAN SYSTEMS 1049 31 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 3 LAND USE + URBAN FORM 1050 32 THE FUTURE OF LAND USE IN LA QUINTA’S HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR The future of development and land uses along La Quinta’s Highway 111 corridor will see a diverse mix of regional and local-serving businesses, mixed residential and commercial uses, and services, amenities and activities that meet residents’ needs and exceed visitors’ expectations. The fundamental challenges faced by this visionary future for the City along Highway 111: ●Positioning desired active streetscapes among existing businesses that reflect a different approach to land use ●Introducing livable and affordable residential projects in among large exclusively retail sites. ●Duality of auto-oriented retail amid walkable mixed use growth. This Specific Plan for La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor guides adaptive development patterns that fulfill the vision of the Highway 111 Corridor Plan. The Specific Plan intends to enhance the urban fabric with economically viable development - factoring key opportunities for the City and current land owners to build this future together. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN ELEMENT FRAMEWORK This plan element organizes mapped policies and urban design organizational concepts to align with existing uses and anticipated infill development to ensure the livable mixed-use corridor promised in this Specific Plan. Use this plan element to: 1. Understand where future mixed-use development is anticipated to occur in the next 25 years, and how it can incrementally contribute to a coordinated district across the Highway 111 Corridor. 2. Tailor the existing Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019) land use and block pattern vision to existing use transitions and City priorities over time. 3. Focus incentives and investments that enable active mixed use streetscapes along roadways and frontages where they most effectively connect the community. 4. Direct the alignment of active frontages to maximize their potential for cohesive and connected placemaking - even through interim growth stages. 5. Administer a layered and adaptive land use policy and guideline system that allows land owners economic flexibility while building toward the Highway 111 vision. 3.1 SUMMARY + OBJECTIVES 1051 33 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN MIXED-USE CENTERMIXED-USE CENTER VERTICAL MIXED USE & MULTIFAMILY HOUSINGVERTICAL MIXED USE & MULTIFAMILY HOUSING MIXED-USE NEIGHBORHOODMIXED-USE NEIGHBORHOOD HORIZONTAL MIXED USE & STARTER HOUSINGHORIZONTAL MIXED USE & STARTER HOUSING 3.2 LAND USE & URBAN FORM VISION: FOUR NEW SETTINGS Development types in the Mixed Use Center group represent the highest densities expected in the Highway 111 Corridor and best fullfill the 2019 Corridor Plan Vision. Only a limited number of these projects will be achieved around key gateways to major commercial blocks. Consisting predominantly of multifamily housing over small rows of retail storefront, these also best represent likely densities for affordable housing. ●Typology: Mixed Use (housing over retail), Affordable Housing (low & v. low income), Live-Work, Boutique Urban Hotels, Cinema Anchored Mixed-Use ●Intensity: FAR of 0.5 to 1.0; DU-per-Acre of 20 to 40; Heights of 3 to 4 stories ●Experience: Highly active gateways anchoring highly walkable living districts with dining, services, some nightlife, with coming and going of residents and customers. Development types in the Mixed Use Neighborhood group will be largely compact “missing middle’ housing products. Denser than recent residential development in the Highway 111 Corridor, they are anchored by limited single story corner retail, services, resident amenities, larger open spaces, and extensive landscaped trail networks. These represent development types in greatest demand in the next 10 to 15 years. ●Typology: Townhomes/Walk-Ups, Small Format Stacked Flats (4 to 8 units), Bungalow Courts, Compact Single-Family Starter Homes, Small In-Line Retail (street-facing) ●Intensity: FAR of 0.3 to 0.6; DU-per-Acre of 9 to 24; Heights of 1 to 3 stories ●Experience: Quieter walkable residential neighborhoods with shared landscapes, green commons, resident amenities, limited corner streetside cafe dining. The following are four new modes of development, and their respective developement types, expected to arrive in the Highway 111 Corridor: 1052 34 COMPACT CREATIVE RETAILCOMPACT CREATIVE RETAIL WALKABLE RETAIL INFILL & ENTERTAINMENTWALKABLE RETAIL INFILL & ENTERTAINMENT LODGING & SERVICES LODGING & SERVICES LODGING, EDUCATION & MEDICAL FACILITIESLODGING, EDUCATION & MEDICAL FACILITIES Development types in the Compact Creative Retail group can be introduced anywhere as infill or retail upgrades that enliven existing shopping centers and anchor the Highway 111 frontage of new developments. These bring continuous walkability along active shopfronts, a high degree of landscape design and quality, extensive shared outdoor space, and may be anchored or entirely concieved as entertainment venues. ●Typology: In-Line Retail Infill (dining focused along continuous promenade), Creative Retail Campus, Food Halls, Container Parks, Outdoor Dining-Entertainment. ●Intensity: FAR of 0.2 to 0.5; Heights of 1 to 2 stories ●Experience: Vibrant shopping and dining activity amid a garden-like, patio or green common setting, often featuring murals, public art, and live entertainment. Development types in the Lodging & Services group include a range of land uses and with a similar pad-development configuration. Medical professional offices, education or training may not have street-facing active facades, and may be set back from parcels on some sides and served by larger surface parking in a single-lot or wrap-around configuration. All may be street-facing and integrated in a Mixed-Use Center project. ●Typology: Class A Moderate Density Office (medical or training); Education, University Extension or Discovery, Business Hotel, Retail-Flex (e.g. indoor car sales). ●Intensity: FAR of 0.2 to 0.5; Heights of 1 to 4 stories ●Experience: Professional workplace and lodging environments with limited nighttime activity and private outdoor amenity courtyards, greens, and patios 1053 35 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 3.3 LAND USE & URBAN FORM ADAPTIVE POLICY formatted as a lower level “parked plinth“ under an internal common area courtyard, or, as a multi-story garage within a “wrapped” housing product. The minimum development intensity accommodated in the Highway 111 Corridor Zone is representative of a detached single-family housing development type in a compact site plan configuration. Housing projects with similar characteristics are being completed in the study area as a detached single family rental product. This Specific Plan sets a higher minimum development intensity in terms of dwelling units per acre, while ensuring that requirement allows for a lower-middle density development type currently in-demand. The City of La Quinta has implemented Affordable Housing Overlay and Mixed Use Overlay zoning districts, both applicable to base zones in the Highway 111 Corridor Study Area. Both introduce increased density and residential land uses allowable under specific conditions of unit affordability, density, and ground floor use. In order to streamline development approvals and simplify code in the Corridor, a zone that includes the most permissible development standards from each of the two base zones, and those of the Mixed Use overlays is recommended. The Affordable Housing Overlay is recommended to be maintained and should be applicable throughout the study area. The Land Use Element of this Specific Plan guides development to achieve desired levels of urban growth, walkability, and economic vibrancy, through three land use or urban form policies. Each layer provides internal flexibility to foster a creative range of successful projects. Mapped together, they form the Land Use & Urban Form Framework of this Specific Plan. HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR ZONE The primary land use and development control for the Highway 111 Corridor is a single consolidated zone designation, which describes an overall maximum and minimum development intensity applicable to the entire district. While this maximum legalizes a high-density development type for the corridor, full density buildout across the district is considered unlikely as it is not economically viable or absorbable in the next 15 years. The maximum development intensity accommodated in the Highway 111 Corridor Zone is representative of a four-story mixed-use development type, offering stacked flat residential units that includes some ground floor retail. This development type typically includes embedded structured parking. This parking commonly This Specific Plan will implement the 2019 Highway 111 Corridor Plan by incorporating its most important land use and urban form objectives into a suite of three adaptive development policies, all operating under a single new and less-restrictive zone Detached single family as a compact development type Multi-family with surface parking development type Multi-story mixed-use “wrapped” garage development type Multi-story mixed-use “parked plinth” embedded garage type FIG 3–1: WIDE RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES IN THE HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR Active Frontage Use Dwelling Units 1054 36 ACTIVE FRONTAGE POLICY The Active Frontage policy is an Urban Form guideline approach that seeks to adaptively implement the intended Active Frontage linkages that emanate from Highway 111 in the 2019 Corridor Plan Vision. This policy serves as a guideline in its overall flexibility, but with specific requirements that anchor any new development with Active Frontage to intersections at signalized entry drives within developed sites. These intersections reside along connecting drive aisles behind auto-oriented and pad retail outparcels along the Highway, or deeper within commercial sites along drive aisles aligned with Corporate Center Dr and Auto Centre Dr / Avenue 47. Active Frontages should foster a vibrant pedestrian environment, where food and beverage, goods, and services are walkably accessible. These uses and their interior activity should be visible and legible from the adjacent sidewalk. Building placement at these Frontages should position storefront edges against the pedestrian route of travel. Otherwise, a high quality public realm with an open space use condusive to pedestrian comfort and activity may be implemented in junction with a stepped back building facade or sheltered facade treamtnet such as arcades, colonoades, and overhangs. Other environmental elements such as shade tree type and placement, parkway landscapes, and provisions for outdoor seating are additional features that, with the above qualities, make Active Frontages the best environment for achieving the pedestrian-oriented Highway 111 Corridor set forth in the original Vision. The development code provides specific information for qualifying uses, facade requirements, and maximum separations along the activated frontages. The reasons behind assigning these locations to the Active Frontage Policy are: ●They are positioned on, or directly access from, north-south corridors serving as gateways into retail centers and new development off Highway 111. ●Their potential as safer, more walkable environments set back from a much busier Highway 111 The Active Frontage Priority Policy requires an engaged Department of Design & Development to ensure infill development proposals meet criteria which include: ●Requirement that Active Frontage is developed at a corner designated as a “Active Frontage Node” (Node) and extend from that intersection. ●Inclusion of Active Frontage fullfills requirements of the Block Frontage and Development Edges Policy with regard to minimum extent and facade conditions for development fronts, sides, and rear. ●Public realm Urban Form guidelines. Including those in the Open Space and Circulation Specific Plan Elements Active Frontages: building(s) fronts and sides that contain “active” uses connected to the exterior, and their facade articulation. This includes a walkable environement and landscape design accompanying those facades. These frontages and their uses offer a diverse range of goods and services in a compact walkable urban environment. Active Uses: land uses that support or benefit from interaction between the use and pedestrians on the street - chiefly accessing or observing activity, goods, or services from the street.DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 ●Potential incentives encouraging achieving Active Frontages with mixed use development. Additional options to introduce open space, plazas, pedestrian areas, and arcades are included to allow this Policy to adapt to developers’ creative proposals and to the wide range of development types and uses that will be most economically viable in these areas. 1055 37 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Auto-Oriented Development: building(s) or their uses accessed primarly by automobile, or where pedestrian access is primarly to/from a parking stall. This includes drive-thru services and auto service or wash. It includes auto dealerships surrounded by sales/product lots. Instances of Active Frontage and Active Use may be found among Auto- Oriented Development, but not extensively enough to qualify as “Active” here. AUTO-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT POLICY The Auto-Oriented Development Policy establishes a overlay along Highway 111 and major arterials, extending 300 feet offset from the public right-or-way, wherein development types including small-format “pad” retail, drive-thrus, smaller in-line retail, auto-dealers and auto service, and large surface parking lots that serve these uses, will be allowed. Outside of this frontage overlay, these uses are prohibited. Development along Highway 111 in the Study Area is characterized as primarily auto-oriented due to the prevalence of drive-thru establishments, especially for fast food and fast casual food and beverage operations. Other prevalent development types include small format retail, small in-line retail, and auto-dealer lots and display pads. Most retail types reside on outparcels either owner occupied or ground lease. These uses are expected to continue for some years, potentially beyond the 10 – 15 year timeframe. This means infill or replacement development should be arranged to coexist among these auto-oriented uses. The City of La Quinta has, through the process of planning development at its city-owned affordable housing sites, established a stance of emphasizing commercial uses along Highway 111. This comports with input during the Corridor Plan engagement process which expressed a desire to maintain the auto-oriented commercial role of Highway 111’s frontage among several stakeholders. More specifically, the City seeks to emphasize “vibrant entertainment uses” that are “visibly active” from Highway 111 along this frontage. City input for ongoing developments support this position. Through plan reviews for the City-led development site at Dune Palms Rd, developer proposals for fast food and a car wash were approved. Likewise, the City has sought to ensure a commercial or retail use in the southern portion of the 15-acre demonstration site at La Quinta Dr (including policy support for food and beverage, or big box).DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 1056 38 BLOCK EDGES AND BLOCK PATTERN POLICY The block street network presented in the Corridor Plan Vision depicts distances of 200 feet to 400 feet between intersections, internal to blocks bounded by district arterials. This walkable block scale is applicable to a range of development types, including large vertical mixed use, townhomes, infill in-line retail, and phased blocks for compact single-family housing. This Specific Plan recommends: ●Intersection spacing and block lengths between 150 ft and 400 ft between right-of-way edges, to ensure a pedetrian scale built environment ●Pedestrian or multiuse off-street paths as an alternative edge in block development pattern proposals ●Roadways entering infill development from existing signalized or future roundabout intersections on major and secondary arterials serve as development access and anchors to the block street network. This Specific Plan introduces a flexible approach to block configuration that can be adapted to the prevailing pattern of a new infill project. The Block Pattern is delineated by the perimeter street-facing facades for new and infill buildings and are categorized according to street front types. In this Specific Plan, block fronts or block sides are interchangeable according to the following guidelines: ●Block Fronts and Block Sides should adhere to rules governing required extent of Active Frontage in the Active Frontage Policy. ●Block Fronts, Sides, and Rear Access should align across intersections, and block frontages should face each other across Corridor Private Drives established in the Circulation Element of this specific plan ●Main development entries should be along established Block Fronts. Parking access, building services, and egress should be along block sides or rear access. Block Edges: the requirement that Active Frontage is present along 50% of building fronts, and 20% of building sides, and that they meet at corners facing the Active Frontage Nodes. This directionality should be coordinated with surrounding blocks and their edges. Block Pattern: the grid formed in development massing by consistently aligned building fronts, sides, or rears along new streets or paths. DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 1057 39 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN ACTIVATION EVENTS & ENTERTAINMENT USE PROGRAM Outdoor events which activate streetscapes, parking areas and vacant lots are a proven way to secure a sense of community that is pedestrian-oriented and economically beneficial. The city-run Brew-In LQ Craft Brew Fest, which began in 2016, is one such successful example from the Highway 111 Corridor. As residential and commercial development continues to build the Corridor into a livable and walkable district, active and entertainment oriented uses like these will need permanent establishment along the Highway 111 frontage. These are best suituated in iconic structures set in a high-quality public realm with plazas, green commons, and garden settings. Shared shade structures and shaded patios are essential in the La Quinta context. Tying these into the Cultural Trail will bring a synergy that benefits the entire Corridor. Examples such as The Barn in West Sacramento are City-led projects that require sophistocated public private partnerships and lease-back arrangements over several years CITY-LED MIXED-USE & AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS The primary method for affordable housing delivery in the Highway 111 corridor will be through city-instigated multi-family housing development on three city-owned parcels. These are opportunities to introduce high density housing, limited vertical mixed use, and suitable high quality public realm as demonstration projects. The city-owned project sites are: ●East of La Quinta Drive, north of Highway 111; vacant lands of 15.8 acres connected to the CV Link ●East of Dune Palms Rd, north of Highway 111; vacant lands of 5.1 acres connected to the CV Link ●West of the Residence Inn, south of Highway 111, north of Vista Coralina Ln; vacant lands of 6.5 acres The development potential of these project sites is explored through recommended site designs. These are presented with related capacity studies in the following chapter on Development Scenarios. The following programs and related projects are actional implementation steps the City can take to guide and encourage specific land use and urban form outcomes in development along the Highway 111 Corridor 3.4 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS + PROJECTS DISTRICT-WIDE PROGRAMS The following are ongoing programs pertinent to achieving land use, urban form, and development outcomes, to be applied across the Study Area. They are described in detail among Initiatives in the Implementation Chapter: ●Continued Streamlined City Permitting & Processing ●On-Call Architect/Urban Designer ●Establish Activation & Seasonal Events Program ●Affordable Housing Preparation & Solicitation ●Business or Restaurant Startup Program ●Institutional Resource Land Assistance Program ●City Lot Reparcelization Program ●Façade Improvement Program In addition, the following major programs and project categories may also stand as location-specific city led development or activation efforts which will drive the evolution of land uses along Highway 111 toward a more walkable and vibrant outcome: 1058 40 MIXED USE ADVANCEMENT AREAS PROGRAMS & POLICIES Incentivizing mixed use, especially vertical types, in conjunction with active development frontage is crucial to achieving a walkable and vibrant Highway 111 Corridor. Incentivizing these development types along select north- south corridors will ensure they form mixed use gateways into residential infill areas. These areas are localized aroud Active Frontage Nodes to synergize with a policy of achieving concentrations of groud floor activity at the street front. It is important to secure additional criteria that ensure community and growth benefits such as public realm, landscape and street furnishing, higher minimum densities, vertical mixed use, housing density thresholds, and degree of ground floor activation. The authors of this Specific Plan recommend that projects qualifying for incentives be of a vertically stacked or attached mixed-use type. Higher minimum densities of dwelling units are also recommended as qualifying criteria. Incentives may include, waiving permit, processing and impact fees, utility in-kind capital expenditure commitments, TIF financing options, reduction in open space common area requirements, ground floor commercial subsidy grants, elimination of parking minimums based on a long-term shared parking plan. Some of these potential incentives are recommended in the Implementation Chapter. In addition to an incentives program for qualifying mixed use projects, an enabling policy of high maximum building height is recommended. Focusing that increased maximum in the vicinity of Active Frontage Nodes and to a maximum distance of the building extent ensures synergy between the Mixed Use Advancement and Active Frontage Policies. These Mixed Use Advancement Areas may therefore include an enhancement of the new Highway 111 Corridor base zone height limit where Active Frontage is built at Active Frontage Nodes in the form of vertical mixed use, across the full extent of those qualifying buildings. 1059 41 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The following are four organizational categories that arrange development and establish regulatory overlays that prioritize land uses in various Corridor areas. ACTIVE FRONTAGE PRIORITY The Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019) calls for the introduction of active uses on the ground floor - especially under mixed use projects. These sub-areas and their labeled intersections are ideal locations where active use will create legible gateway transitions into neighborhoods with human oriented placemaking. These are situated at block entries with transverse drive aisles branching from Highway 111. They are also optimal locations for infill that coordinates with existing strip retail and small commercial out-parcels that will operate for some years to come. AUTO-ORIENTED PRIORITY These sub-areas establish a space for continued auto- oriented drive thru and convenient small format retail. Community desire for and the economic viability of these businesses remains strong; here they may continue to be maintained and developed along the edges of Highway 111 and major arterials. Infill of more livable and diverse land uses to this Highway 111 Corridor is organized through four urban design layers. Each can adapt to a range of urban densities, development types, and frontage orientations. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Parcels with the greatest potential to host land use intensification are considered here. Each connects to the larger Highway 111 district through an Active Frontage Priority Nodes and their overlay Areas. This coordinates an array of active frontages belonging to each Opportunity, and which better connect to each other while serving as high- visibility anchors for those projects. CIRCULATION FRAMEWORK The Highway 111 Corridor is the main trunk among a system of roads that subdivide this part of La Quinta into six major blocks. Branching from Highway 111 are Major and Secondary Arterials. This Specific Plan prescribes the long term evolution of both road types to eventually serve the community as multi-modal routes. The adopted Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019) introduces an additional element to the local roadway network. These pertain to future land uses by: 1. Organizing block structure to be more walkable and suitable for mixed use development, and, 2. Weaving new development blocks into alignment with existing retail/commercial development.

This leads to a cohesive public realm lined with shops and services, and organizes areas for service and parking access. 3.6 BLOCKS FRONTAGE & DEVELOPMENT EDGES POLICY In support of the Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019), while maintaining support for flexible approaches to building orientation, the Building Orientation Approach requires that: 1. Active Frontage predominately occupy the proposed Block Fronts and Sides and fall within Mixed Use & Active Development Advancement Area 2. Development Edges are consistently aligned within surrounding blocks defined by Secondary and Major Arterials of Washington, Adams, Dune Palms, and Jefferson. 3. Development Edges are consistently aligned to frame Active + Walkable Corridors through a project so as to align with a corresponding Active + Walkable Corridor across Highway 111. FRONTAGES APPROACH ●Block Front edges must incorporate Active Frontage and main development entry for at least 50% of their length. ●Block Side edges must incorporate Active Frontage and main development entry for at least 20% of their length. If treated as a Block Front, and at least 50% is incorporated, then the connected Block Front may be treated as a Block Side with at least 20% Active Frontage ●Rear Access edges do not require Active Frontage, and are recommended for parking access or landscape buffering. LEGEND OVERALL APPROACH This Land Use policy should serve as an instructive guideline for the City of La Quinta in reviewing and approving new infill development, parcel sub-division, and proposed block structure. Adaptability in implementing the Specific Plan Land Use Element is crucial to the economic viability of new developments in La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor because: ●Developers and operators must meet the needs of current retail development needs that will change as the real estate and retail market evolve. ●Innovative development may take varied approaches to the alignment of active frontage, public space, and public right-of-way to meet those challenges. ORIENTATION APPROACH Development Orientation guides development edges within proposed blocks of the Development Pattern in such a way that: ●Internal Edges of development subdivision ultimately are accessed through the corresponding selected Block Frontage of the surrounding Block. ●Development which is set back from block edges, should follow the Recommended Orientation, or be consistent with surrounding development orientation. ●Development which forms blocks larger than shown in the Development Pattern of this diagram, should be oriented to face other Block Frontages or the front facade of existing commercial development. 1062 44 FIG 3–3: DEVELOPMENT EDGES APPROACH CONCEPT Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1063 45 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The Land Use Framework avoids organizing through prescriptive land use designations or required massing and form. This section serves as an illustration of how the consistent application of the Active Frontage Policy in conjunction with the Block Frontage & Development Edges Policy, may result in Active & Walkable Corridors. 3.7 ACTIVE & WALKABLE CORRIDORS CONCEPT Infill development and the redevelopment of existing commercial sites will occur incrementally. The phased evolution of uses and increasing presence of mixed use should align to form Active + Walkable Corridors - streets and public routes conducive to active transportation accessing retail and community services relevant to the community. In apply and adapting the Development Edges Policy, the potential for three basic outcomes must be observed in a development diagram provided by the development entitlement applicant showing connections to future development across La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor: 1. Active + Walkable Corridors align with similar streetscapes across Highway 111. LEGEND 2. Active + Walkable Corridors provide direct routes through the depth of project block massing, terminating at major intersections with Auto-Oriented Corridors. 3. Active Frontage with Active Uses on the ground floor begins at and emanates from Active Use Nodes. 4. Active Frontage among two adjacent blocks must be facing across their adjoining circulation corridor. 5. Where possible, Active Frontage must face directly, be aligned-with, or be cornering and perpendicular to existing commercial frontage. 6. Active Frontages must be visible from the Auto- Oriented roadway corridor, while framing legible routes through development massing. 7. Acceptable alternative outcomes must be considered by the City as equally viable for approval if they enact this Specific Plan’s Policies and embody Approaches provided in this Land Use Element chapter. 8. Opportunities existing to prepare Active “Side” Frontages that face the CV Link where they are connected to a main Active Frontage - connecting at the corner of the Block Frontage. This cornering will invite pedestrians toward or away from the CV Link. 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 3 1064 46 FIG 3–4: ACTIVE & WALKABLE CORRIDORS CONCEPT 21 4 5 6 8 3 Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 7 Fig 3–5: Active & Walkable Corridors Concept Alternative Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 1065 47 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Active Frontage Nodes are key corners intended as busy gateways to mixed use developments. 3.8 ACTIVE FRONTAGE NODE APPROACH TYPICAL EXISTING CONDITION The diagram at right shows the typical in-line retail condition with auto-oriented and small format retail outparcels fronting Highway 111. Infill development is anticipated to be anchored along north-south oriented entries into these retail centers off 111 as shown here. The Active Frontage development strategy requires that development to position active frontages along those roadways first - ensuring a legible gateway condition. HORIZONTAL MIXED-USE Horizontal mixed-use is a common condition where retail for goods or services are found among low-rise multifamily and multi-unit complexes such as townhomes, bungalows, patio-homes, and small-block flats. Retail serving these neighborhoods must be places along entry drives which intersect Highway 111. They may be stand-alone single or multitenant buildings with maximum separation from adjacent housing. The development code describes qualifying active frontage that may include services or community spaces for project residents. ●Active Frontage may be in single use buildings - single or multi-tenant ●Maximum separation requirements ensure community compactness and walkability ●Active frontage is not required at all intersection, but any inclusion must start at indicated corners FIG 3–6: TYPICAL EXISTING CONDITION WITH DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FIG 3–7: ACTIVE FRONTAGE IN HORIZONTAL MIXED-USE 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 1066 48 ACTIVE OPEN SPACE Provision is made for retail and other active frontage uses which are set back beyond maximum setback limits where publicly accessible open space is introduced. This may include green commons, plazas, and similar outdoor active use areas which may include kiosks, bicycle storage, transit facilities, and other small footprint uses. Requirements are set forth in the development code for active frontage requirements and limits behind these open space amenities. ●Active Frontage may “step back” to accomodate open space amenities such as commons and plazas ●Active Frontage may include kiosk, mobile, and other alternative types if they constitute a constant presence. ●Green commons have additional Active Frontage requirements but are encouraged to meet open space reserve requirements. VERTICAL MIXED-USE Residential units stacked over retail or commercial on the ground floor typifies development anticipated in the maximum development scenario for this study area. As shown, retail active frontage uses introduced should prioritize one of two active intersections, then may proceed north-south and/or east-west along the ground floor. This may occur at one or both intersections along each cross street intersecting Highway 111. The development code provides for qualifying uses, shopfront windows, and maximum separations along the activated facades. ●Active Frontage may extend in either direction from corner, and must meet requirements for spacing, consistency, and design as provided in the Development Code. ●Building orientation and the direction of active frontage may vary among buildings, but must consistent with adjacent or facing blocks.FIG 3–8: ACTIVE FRONTAGE IN VERTICAL MIXED-USE FIG 3–9: ACTIVE FRONTAGE AT OPEN SPACE ADAPTATION 1 1 1 2 3 1 2 2 2 3 1067 49 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Affordable housing projects proposed in this Specific Plan for the Highway 111 Corridor will meet or exceed commitments made in the General Plan Housing Element. This plan also identifies potential sites for important community education and services. 3.9 AFFORDABLE HOUSING & COMMUNITY RESOURCES Element allots 569 affordable housing for low and very- low income households. Developers have explained that City partnership or assistance will be needed to complete such projects in the area. Therefore, it is the City’s stance that City-owned parcels are the best sites to continue this work. If all housing allotted in the Housing Element and all projects proposed in this Specific Plan are built as anticipated over the next 10 to 15 years the Highway 111 Corridor will serve as an important resource for workforce housing. This would amount to at least half of new housing in the Highway 111 Corridor (1000 to 1600 total). Altogether the Highway 111 Corridor has the potential to be a hub for residential infill and livability for the City. COMMUNITY RESOURCES Community resources are important to a growing resident population. These may include childcare, K-12 (public, charter, and private), other education facilities, job training, medical offices and clinics, community centers, university extension and discovery. HOUSING NEED & CAPACITY The Highway 111 Corridor is planned to accommodate as much as one-third of the City’s affordable housing commitments over the next 10 to 15 years. It will primarly occur on three City-owned parcels at: ●La Quinta Dr and Highway 111, with 280 units anticipated in this Specific Plan ●Dune Palms Rd and Highway 111, with 120 units anticipated in this Specific Plan ●The Residence Inn and Vista Coralina Ln, with 120 units anticipated in this Specific Plan Together, these three projects would bring 520 recommended units of affordable housing for low and very- low income households.

The continued vibrancy of existing development is possible among new infill throughout the corridor. The fundamental challenges faced by this visionary future for La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor are: ●Shift in development use primarily to housing ●Site design that maximizes redevelopment while maintaining suitable transitions to surrounding uses. ●Mixed-use has limited near-term viability only where the City controls sites and development direction. The development scenarios establish district growth expectations based on forecasts of economically viable land uses and tests those expectations against available land and optimal siting. The result is a realistic picture of achievable highest and best use which fulfills the community vision. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN ELEMENT FRAMEWORK This plan element organizes a range of development outcomes into maximum and moderate scenarios, one aspirational, one realistic. The development yields for each scenario are instructive to City staff as they interact with developers and inform constituents about neighborhood transformations. Use this information to: 1. Explain the connections between regional economic factors, available land, develop-ability, and the retail and housing carrying capacity of the study area to decision-makers and constituents. 2. Anticipate a likely degree of growth on a block-by- block basis to program supporting infrastructure investments, project impacts, and potential fees. 3. Understand what code parameters and development limits will right-size growth policy while allowing the highest and best use outcome across the plan area. 4. Visualize the long term potential development for its intensity, height, type and siting for the community’s benefit - aligning their expectations with economic reality. 5. Prepare to meet developers half-way with a detailed understanding of what they are likely to bring to property owners and plan check desk over the years. 4.1 SUMMARY + OBJECTIVES 1071 53 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The Moderate Scenario embodies an optimistic view of absorption of economically viable development based on regional demographic factors, study area real estate performance, and land availability. The scenario imagines a significant focus on growth of housing with limited mixed use. Future Development Use Mix: Moderate 4.2 MODERATE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO BY BLOCK The Moderate Growth Scenario allocates 570 affordable housing units of the remaining required 569 units per the Regional Housing Needs allotment for this Study Area – 520 of which are across three City-owned parcels. In the blocks between Washington and Adams, north of Highway 111, development would be horizontal mixed use in this Scenario, with low-rise 2-story middle density housing in the form of townhomes, row houses, patio and bungalow court clusters, and starter homes for rent with eventual sale. A limited institutional (education or medical office) and a 150 key two or three star hotel is likely viable. Eastward, between Adams and Jefferson, most development would be on City-owned properties. South of Highway 111, between Washington and Adams, the parking areas in and around the existing theater may present a future infill opportunity, with low rise attached Fig 4–1: Use Mix Appropriate to the Moderate Scenario Note: "Future development," here, describes the use mix of new construction. or detached compact housing. This block includes a moderate income affordable housing designated parcel. To the east of this, the Sol Terra project is nearing completion, and surrounding lands could support an additional small hotel, medical office, and similar amount of infill housing. Between Dune Palms and Jefferson, south of Highway 111, the parcel adjacent to Residence Inn holds potential for affordable housing. ●Residential (Non Mixed-Use Townhomes, Flats) Residential (Mixed-Use Flats over Retail) Retail (Mixed-Use Groud Floor) Retail (Stand-Alone Pad or In-Line) Hotel Office or Institutional Ground Floor) 1072 54 FIG 4–2: MODERATE GROWTH BY BLOCK Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1073 55 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The Maximum Scenario embodies an aspirational view of absorption of economically transformative development, intended to capture the full promise of the Highway 111 Vision Plan (2019). The scenario images a shift toward low-rise horizontal and vertical mixed use development. 4.3 MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO BY BLOCK In the blocks between Washington and Adams, north of Highway 111, development would be vertical or 3 level multi-family mixed use in this Scenario. Housing would likely not be townhomes or row houses, but 3 or 4 story stacked flats with limited corner retail at ground floor in an urban development type. A limited institutional (education or medical office) and a destination three or four star hotel, twice as large as in the Moderate Scenario, is presumed. Eastward, between Adams and Jefferson, most development would be on City-owned properties. South of Highway 111, between Washington and Adams, the parking areas in and around the existing theater are imagined as a live-work-play vertical mixed-use complex with 2 levels of housing over limited walkable retail dining and services. This block includes a moderate income affordable housing designated parcel. To the east of this, the Sol Terra project is nearing completion, and is surrounded by lands which are also presumed to support stacked mixed-use development infill in large parking lots. A moderate sized business hotel is included similar to that provided in the Moderate Scenario near Sol Terra, adjacent to potential medical office or other professional commercial at the corner. Between Dune Palms and Jefferson, south of Highway 111, the parcel adjacent to Residence Inn holds potential for affordable housing and an entertainment venue in the Maximum Scenario.

The best urban design outcome will provide a legibly active frontage along housing facing the pad retail currently under construction. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY The mixed-use concept at Dune Palms Rd and Highway 111 demonstrates the front-back layered approach to land use. Along Highway 111 are two auto-oriented pad retail opportunities, likely supporting a drive-thru operation and car wash. Behind this are three or four story stacked flats inclusive of an embedded parking plinth at-grade across most of the building footprint. Retail, childcare, skills- training, or job finding centers are recommended uses for retail along the south-facing ground floor active frontage. This is an opportunity for active uses facing CV Link as well. A roundabout or intersection with curb extensions is recommended with parkway and landscape buffering between the residential and commercial site portions. 1076 58 CONCEPT YIELD SUMMARY FIG 4–5: MIXED USE AT DUNE PALMS PROGRAM & FEATURES CONCEPT FEATURES 1.

The project is organized into equal sized residential development tranches in the northern portion of the site. Corporate Center Dr will bifurcate these residential blocks, as well as a landscaped open space corridor with public access path to CV Link. The southern portion along Highway 111 will host a unique cluster of independent restaurants and institutional use around a shared and shaded outdoor patio accessed from the Cultural Trail along Highway 111. 1078 60 CONCEPT YIELD SUMMARY FIG 4–6: MIXED USE AT LA QUINTA DR PROGRAM & FEATURES CONCEPT FEATURES 1.

This plan illustrates smaller multi-tenant buildings across most of the site. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY A key feature of this mixed-use development concept is the shared access curb-cut and parking drive aisle connecting Highway 111 to Vista Coralina Ln. In this plan alternative, an internal intersection accesses a dedicated parked drive aisle encircling the residential use in the main sub-parcel. The southeast parcel “tab” is proposed as a small pocket park to be shared among both affordable housing developments. It is shown here with design support for a food-truck fair and small events. The residential type shown is reflective of the Coral Mountain project immediately across Vista Coralina Ln. Similarly, a resident open space amenity with green common and pool is shown amid the housing. 1080 62 CONCEPT YIELD SUMMARY FIG 4–7: HOUSING AT VISTA CORALINA LN PROGRAM & FEATURES CONCEPT FEATURES 1.

This frontage use is suitable adjacent to affordable housing for senior or assisted living. This alternative illustrates a larger multi-tenant building on a rear portion of the site. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY This plan alternative of the mixed-use development concept adjacent to the Residence Inn shows the north-south shared access drive connecting Highway 111 and Vista Coralina Ln as fully integrated into a parking strategy for the multi-family project portion. Along Highway 111 is as a multi-vendor dining garden with performance stage. Similar to a container- park or “steelcraft style” venture, this vibrant use will leverage synergy with the Residence Inn and its regional visitors.

The summary is applied to environmental reporting that accompanies this Specific Plan and therefore represents the expected limits of growth. 4.8 SUMMARY OF GROWTH POTENTIAL OVERVIEW & PROCESS The Yield Summary at right presents the volume of expected future development that is economically viable given the lands immediately available or likely to see infill and redevelopment that starts in the next 20 years. Both Low and Max Yield Summaries are the sum of all development mapped in their respective Moderate and Maximum Growth Scenarios. Aligned together, they describe a range for growth that is optimistic and presumes all implementation steps across the Specific Plan are fulfilled. Overall, the yield summary represents the input of real estate economists using interviews and regional data such a census information and surrounding forecasted growth rates. These are placed against the available land, checked through a process of site design for city- owned parcels, and adjusted up or down based on the long term goals presented in the 2019 Corridor Plan Vision. The table presents data organized into the following sections: ●Development Yield is a side-by-side presentation of the total gross-square-footage for the preceding Moderate and Max Growth Scenarios. ●Land Use provides acreage of prevailing land use applied to future blocks drawn to build each Scenario. New Public Right-of-Way separates the acreage of any new street corridors within existing blocks, and are typically cutting across existing surface parking in new parcelization. ●Development Intensity documents the average new FAR within presumed new sub-parcels and is useful for informing the zoning code update. Most of these are reasonable within a dense walkable mixed-use district. ●Housing Details provides important data about unit count, subtotals of affordable housing, and assumptions about gross unit size. The data comports with flat type units ranging from 3 to 1 bedrooms in projects designed with a 75% efficiency. ●The rightmost data column on both sides presents the research-based demand forecast for development absorption based on the current economic and physical conditions. This suggests that by implementing the Specific Plan policies, projects, programs, and capital improvements, a development result somewhere in the range of scenarios is achievable. ●Note: Most development in the corridor is expected to arrive in some form of horizontal or vertical mixed use; however, the Max Scenario includes an additional “Mixed Use” data row that advises the greatest amount of housing and retail uses which may be achievable combined in vertical mixed use buildings. These numbers suggest as much as 70% of housing and retail could be delivered in a vertical mixed-use format in an economic best case scenario. Note that this still advises a lower volume of total additional retail than is envisioned in the 2019 Corridor Plan. 1 5 2 6 3 4 1084 66 FIG 4–9: YIELD SUMMARY FOR DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS AND DEMAND FORECAST 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 1085 67 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 5 CIRCULATION + MOBILITY 1086 68 THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY IN LA QUINTA’S HIGHWAY 111 NEIGHBORHOOD The Circulation and Mobility strategy for La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor is based on the introduction of a fine grained road system for infill development that increasingly favors pedestrians and active mobility in areas set back from Highway 111 while accommodating a multimodal approach along Highway 111, as well as major and secondary arterials. The fundamental challenges faced by this visionary future for La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor are: ●Persistence of auto-oriented commercial with drive- thru’s and surface parking in shopping centers along Highway 111 and throughout the district. ●Pedestrian safety for new residents of the corridor. ●New road hierarchy long before uses are proposed. La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor is evolving from an auto-oriented commercial district to a mixed use neighborhood with housing, community uses and open space. The circulation network must also transform to support active transportation, transit, new types of retail, new development access, and pedestrian-oriented uses. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN ELEMENT FRAMEWORK This plan element organizes an adaptive and hierarchical system of multimodal corridors, pedestrian corridors, and an intersections strategy which is choreographed to sync with the Land Use Active Frontage strategy in this Specific Plan. Use this plan element to: 1. Establish the rationale behind a roadway hierarchy that achieves a gradient of multi-modal and auto- heavy transportation along Highway 111, transitioning to a pedestrian and service access focus on smaller streets further from Highway 111. 2. Coordinate new development parcelization, phasing, and access to connect them to existing intersections while maintaining a cohesive urban pattern. 3. Understand the differences between roadway types to ensure each new capital project achieves objectives and is calibrated to the intended mix of travel modes. 4. Visualize the physical roadway types as comprehensive public realm corridors, with landscape character, parkway pattern, and visual transparency. 5. Prepare lane transitions, bicycle facilities, curbing, turn pockets, pedestrian crossings, off street pathways and other capital improvement details. 5.1 SUMMARY + OBJECTIVES 1087 69 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN MULTIMODAL CORRIDORS STRATEGY All roadway types for this Specific Plan are prepared for multiple travel modes; however, a greater portion of some roadway sections are provided to active transportation modes. Regional, Municipal, and District corridors here reflect updated versions of road sections established in the General Plan. Neighborhood Corridors and Internal linkages are more customized smaller road types for this Specific Plan. ●Regional Corridors: Represent the highly customized reconfiguration of Highway 111 to support multi-modal transportation along with an iconic landscape. ●Municipal Corridors: Municipal Corridors are ideal for access to other districts of La Quinta. They do not have a custom street section in this Specific Plan. ●District Corridors: District Corridors are ideal for access to surrounding adjacent districts, and receive a custom multimodal street concept in this Specific Plan. ●Neighborhood Corridors: Represent new and existing roadways pertinent to infill development, which may fall in the private or public realm, and receive a custom road concept in this Specific Plan. ●Internal Linkage: Roads that emphasize pedestrians, bicycle shared use, and development service access. This framework coordinates existing highway and arterial types recognized in the General Plan with the addition of new roadway types intended to emphasize pedestrians and active mobility needs. PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS STRATEGY This framework implements a Specific Plan policy of pedestrian permeability for new developments by establishing required pedestrian pathways that must be found in infill development proposals. ●Regional Pathway (CV Link): The Coachella Valley’s primary active transportation spine, which connects to La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor at multiple points. ●Neighborhood Pathway (Cultural Corridor): The primary route of a pedestrian sidewalk/sidepath enhanced with local art and sculpture installations. ●Internal Pathway: Required thru-block pedestrian links to ensure development permeability and access. INTERSECTIONS STRATEGY All intersections are illustrated in this Plan to demonstrate recommended pedestrian safety improvements. Gateways include recommended landscape enhancements. Some Internal Gateways are recommended as roundabouts. ACTIVATED CIRCULATION STRATEGY Public use agreements can be coordinated for public right- of-ways or private facilities for City-led outdoor markets and events.

Some routes are recommended and their location is flexible with only required connections; others are mandatory with new development. 5.3 ROADWAY NETWORK OPTIMAL APPROACH The following roadway types are shown where there is greatest potential for new or infill development. These types are mostly public rights-of-way, while some are anticipated to be “Private” roadways that may be parcelized as access easements or access lands. All are labeled as “Corridor” facilities to ensure they are understood as special Highway 111 Specific Plan types. REQUIRED ROADWAY FACILITIES The roadway and block configuration is primarily drawn from the adopted Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019), and are differentiated by their depth within anticipated infill development. Use these in conjunction with streetscape type concepts on the following pages. ●Corridor Highway 111: Primarily automotive and public-transit oriented roadway section that introduces dedicated bicycle facilities to La Quinta’s portion of Highway 111. ●Corridor Secondary Arterials: Both support access from surrounding neighborhoods into the Highway 111 corridor. Two configurations are provided; both emphasize pedestrian access and comfort. LEGEND ●Corridor Collectors: Especially emphasize aesthetically iconic and legible gateways into new developments, with emphasis on pedestrian comfort. ●Corridor Drives: Both private and public corridor drives must meet the same streetscape standard and preference active mobility with bicycle buffering, curb extensions, parallel parking, and only two travel lanes. ●Corridor Streets: Corridor streets are the smallest defined Specific Plan roadway type; their exact route is optional depending on each development proposal, its uses and types. They are required to begin and/or end at established Roadway Intersections shown. ●Pedestrian Pathways with Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) Capacity. Pedestrian Pathways are required, but their exact route is optional. Those supporting NEV access are wide enough to accommodate NEV in off-street use with NEV able to safely pass pedestrians in both directions. This includes the CV Link. ●Pedestrian Pathways: Pedestrian Pathways without NEV Capacity are off-street sidewalks allowing passage through development blocks. RECOMMENDED FACILITIES The Recommended Facilities category acknowledges existing drive aisles and service routes with which new development must coordinate. Their connection to new project access is recommended to avoid dead-ends and misaligned intersections. ROADWAY INTERSECTIONS All Roadway Intersections are required facilities as are their approximate location. The type and scale of those facilities is recommended; but should be appropriate to the connecting roadway streetscape types. 1090 72 FIG 5–2: ROADWAY NETWORK OPTIMAL APPROACH CONCEPT Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1091 73 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN This Specific Plan avoids prescriptive urban form and instead provides a framework adaptive to a range of land use and development project outcomes. This Alternative Approach reflects some potential realities about block proportions, phaseability, and outparcel businesses that may persist among adjacent mixed use projects. 5.4 ROADWAY NETWORK ALTERNATIVE APPROACH As in the prior section, the following roadway types are shown where there is greatest potential for new or infill development. These types are mostly public rights-of-way, while some are anticipated to be “Private” roadways that may be parcelized as access easements or access lands. All are labeled as “Corridor” facilities to ensure they are understood as special Highway 111 Specific Plan types. ALTERNATIVE APPROACH DRIVERS There are a few reasons behind the differences between the Optimal and Alternative Approach layouts. Generally, the Optimal approach aligns with the idealized Highway 111 Corridor Plan (2019), while the Alternative approach reflects more constraints and development realities in the near term. Altogether, both will support a more livable and walkable Highway 111. ●Auto-Oriented Commercial Frontage: The City of La Quinta has supported the persistence of auto- oriented uses along Highway 111 and, to some extent, along district Arterials. These outparcels may require continued access. Additionally, the City desires commercial use along Highway 111 frontage at City-led developments. LEGEND ●Broad Rectilinear Blocks: New construction of residential flats in vertical mixed-use buildings with 3 stories of residences over ground-floor commercial use (“3 over 1”), common for moderate price and affordable middle density housing, is optimized on large rectangular or nearly square parcels. Generally, housing developers prefer larger tracts within which several phases of development are planned. Right angles are also more prevalent in this Alternative. ●Those development opportunities which are not City-led are likely to be middle density townhome and rental home products which require large parcels with frequent drive aisle access. GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING ROADWAY CONCEPT CONFORMANCE The following are guidelines which the City shall use to determine whether roadway networks in development proposal alternatives meet Specific Plan objectives. 1. Corridor Private Streets, or related development access curb cuts, are directly connected to required intersections with a corresponding overall direction. 2. Changes of roadway type designation for another must maintain relative hierarchy relationship to connecting roadways. Non-hierarchical networks should be avoided. 3. The inclusion of active transportation facilities, and pedestrian sidewalks, as recommended in each streetscape concept is required and should not be reduced or minimized. Their relocation in the street section may be presented as an alternative. 4. Pedestrian pathways provide direct cross routes through new development areas, with visibility to the overall direction of the route. 5. Pedestrian pathways may be Drives or Streets with similar pedestrian facilities. 1092 74 FIG 5–3: ROADWAY NETWORK ALTERNATIVE APPROACH CONCEPT Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1093 75 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The following are select projects which are recommended citywide capital improvements and programs. Each may consist of stand-alone project or components of larger reconfiguration programs. These efforts will require ongoing commitments for full completion. 5.5 CIRCULATION + MOBILITY PROJECTS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AT ARTERIAL INTERSECTIONS Road repair performed long before structural geometry, curb, corner, and turn pocket reconfiguration may incorporate the improved striping patterns recommended in this Specific Plan ahead of time. These recommended improvements include roadway markings and facilities for active transportation, including lanes for bicycle and neighborhood electric vehicle lanes, their lane buffers, dedicated crossings, vertical protective measures, curb ramps for on-street and off-street transitions. In some instances, depending on existing and future road sections, curb extensions and protective islands may be constructed in the near term. An important consideration in these early safety investments is that they help normalize traffic movement and drive expectations around the addition and expansion of these facilities in the Highway 111 corridor. PARTNERSHIP WITH DEVELOPERS The City of La Quinta is encouraged to collaborate with Council, Economic Development, and the City Manager to establish a program of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and other advantages for housing and mixed-use projects that include private contribution to and construction of public roadways. Rather than simply providing City-funded capital improvements, a more collaborative approach to development will ensure streetscapes and vertical development that coordinate to provide the highest- quality public realm. LOOP CIRCULATOR + MICROTRANSIT Landowners and major business stakeholders agreed with the fundamental benefits of internal transit connectivity in reducing parking demand and increasing park-once behavior. A small dedicated bus or tram vehicle on an established path connecting among the 7 blocks of the Highway 111 corridor will help residents and visitors choose walking to access surrounding services. Likewise, trams dedicated to bringing jobs access between multifamily housing and major employers will reduce commuter vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within the city. ACTIVATIONS + EVENT CLOSURES The temporary, but regular, closure of streetscapes, parking lots, and other elements of the roadway network for fairs, events, street markets, entertainment, promotions, athletic events, as such, will ensure a continuously active public realm. The Vision described in the 2019 Highway 111 Corridor Plan was embodied in the success of the City’s Brew in LQ parking lot activation. Continuing this will ensure a well-knit and vibrant lifestyle maximizing the potential of the area’s roads, pathways, and parking lots. PROACTIVE DESIGN REVIEW A collaborative approach to the transformation of each block in La Quinta’s Highway 111 corridor that includes proactive involvement of the Public Works and the Design & Development department is important where road alignments are not currently established. These “infill roads” require City staff to design alongside developers rather than await proposals to arrive for review. Staffing, time, and resources for internal design workshopping, layout alternatives, and interim reviews will assist developers in implementing this Circulation Framework. SYSTEM-WIDE PROJECTS The following projects can be found in many locations across the district and reflect improvements that will eventually become commonplace in the Highway 111 corridor public realm. 1094 76 ROUNDABOUTS FOR SECONDARY ARTERIALS AT DISTRICT DRIVES A roundabout is shown for the Secondary Arterial at Adams St and Avenue 47/Auto Centre Dr in anticipation of increased traffic alongside pedestrian use with future multifamily housing on either side. This proposal improves capacity for daily vehicular throughput while reducing road width and introducing a pedestrian refuge island at crossings. Together, these lead to a more pedestrian oriented condition. Additional roundabouts could be considered for the other four intersections of north-south oriented secondary arterials and east-west corridor drives. These include Adams at Corporate Centre Drive, Dune Palms at Corporate Centre Drive, Adams at Avenue 47/Auto Centre Drive, and Dune Palms at Vista Coralina Ln. The reconfiguration of these intersections to roundabouts should be performed in conjunction with surrounding anticipated multifamily housing development. TREES & ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ON DISTRICT DRIVES Existing corridor public drives, including Avenue 47 / Auto Centre Drive and Corporate Centre Drive will become important east-west pedestrian alternatives to Highway 111. Ensuring their suitability to this change involves the introduction of parkway strips with street trees, buffered bicycle facilities, and curb extensions. This Specific Plan establishes a standard section for public drives with a recommended distance between face-of-curbs of 42’. The existing road width on Corporate Centre Drive (42’), Avenue 47 (48’), Auto Centre Drive, (54’ at parallel parking) nearly matches the proposed standard (42’) for those streets. Future reconfiguration may involve rebuilding sidewalks behind a parkway strip. The City should focus on developing new segments of Public and Private drives connecting Corporate Centre Drive in the near term. Then pivot to existing road reconfiguration as soon as feasible. CV LINK, CULTURAL TRAIL & PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS STRATEGY La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor is envisioned as a mixed use walkable district that supports pedestrian, active, and alternative transportation modes throughout. Construction of the CV Link is underway, which will serve as the primary off- street transportation linkage between this corridor and other neighborhoods. La Quinta’s proposed cultural trail also offers a significant opportunity for active off-street mobility along a similar east-west axis within the Corridor. Unlocking the full benefits of these two facilities, however, requires the City and its developer partners to implement the Pedestrian Corridors Strategy within the Circulation + Mobility Framework. The Cultural Trail is a major City-led component of this strategy, serving as a shared use neighborhood pathway. Other internal pathways may be City-led or developer led with City direction. Point facilities that support bicyclists such as racks, storage, service stations, trailblazer signage, neighborhood electric vehicle parking and charging, and water fountains should accompany these pathways. 1095 77 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 5.6 ROADWAY STREETSCAPE CONCEPTS The following sections present streetscape concepts which embody the Roadway Network Approach street types. Using these concepts as a guideline for initial and final design will implement the Circulation + Mobility Framework Residents and visitors in this corridor will benefit from a network of streetscapes that provide more space for bicycles, pedestrians, and environmental comfort as they travel from a multimodal Highway 111 into surrounding walkable neighborhoods. 5.7 TRANSFORMATION & TRANSITIONS TRANSFORMATION OF MOBILITY IN THE HIGHWAY 111 CORRIDOR The Streetscape Concepts on the following pages provide plan and section design recommendations that, when implemented, should varyingly emphasize the role of district-wide landscapes, biking and alternative transportation, or pedestrian comfort where they are most appropriate to surrounding uses and roadway user intent. All Streetscape Concepts suggest a transformation of the entire Highway 111 corridor road network to more broadly support multimodality - balancing the needs and mutual safety of automotive, freight, transit, bicycle, neighborhood electric vehicle, and pedestrian movement. Aligning the prioritization among these uses within each roadway type to their situation within the district roadway hierarchy will ensure each street is tailored to user expectations and larger needs of the community. KEY PROJECTS Each streetscape concept corresponds to a Required Roadway Facility found in the Roadway Network Optimal and Alternative Approach diagrams. Used in conjunction, City staff and their constituents will have a full picture of the circulatory public realm in their future community. The streetscape concepts are driven by a streetscape vision pertaining to their overall role and are driven by an idealized street section. Because highly customized lane transitions are proposed to accommodate a detailed bicycle/NEV network, segment plans are provided to illustrate the range of expected striping conditions, one or more intersections with the next order in roadway hierarchy, and a complete demonstration of landscape approach for medians, parkways, buffers, and curb extensions. Conceptual sections provided for Highway 111, Dune Palms Rd., and Adams St. are design deviations from corresponding road section standards provided in the General Plan. As such, “Corridor” is appended to each roadway type name to differentiate between Specific Plan road types and General Plan road standard types. The following streetscape concepts depict the reconfiguration of major existing roadways, and pertain only to those named streets throughout their length in the Specific Plan Study area. They should be used in bid documents and go-bys for future design efforts: ●Corridor Highway 111 – 6D | Highway 111 ●Corridor Secondary Arterial – 4D | Dune Palms Rd. ●Corridor Secondary Arterial – 2D | Adams St. These following streetscape concepts depict the reconfiguration of roadways internal to the study area of this Specific Plan. While they are labeled as concept specific to known streets, they are generally applicable to any instance of that roadway type in future development proposals. The Corridor Public Drive, for example, is expected to reflect the future configuration of Avenue 47, and all of Corporate Centre Drive. The Corridor Private Parked Drive and Corridor Private Street describe streets likely internal to developer project boundaries and will likely be proposed as public access easements: ●Corridor Public Collector – 2D | La Quinta Dr. ●Corridor Public Drive - 2UD | Corporate Center Dr. ●Corridor Private Parked Drive – 2UD | Simon Dr. ●Corridor Private Street – 2UD | Frontage Drive 1096 78 Pedestrians and those enjoying outdoor public spaces need landscapes, furnishings and wider sidewalks that provide urban cooling, buffering from vehicles, and human- scale landscape architecture installations in a “Walkable Community.” THE SECTIONS SHOW A TRANSITION The Streetscape Concept sections that follow were measured according to the portion of right-of-way given to the following public realm categories: ●Median and setback buffer landscapes ●Parkway and curb extension landscapes ●Sidewalk, trail, and promenade facilities ●Bicycle and neighborhood electric vehicle facilities ●Road for motorized vehicle lanes and turn pockets Each right-of-way measurement emphasizes a sectional cut that exemplifies the highest degree of landscape and pedestrian space commitment, while showing the least amount of road. The result of comparing these proportional measures together demonstrates that these standard Concepts embody a transition from “Iconic Landscapes” along Highway 111 and arterials, through emphasis on Active Mobility on secondary arterials, collectors and public drives, to private and frontage streets that preference pedestrians. TO W A R D H I G H W A Y 1 1 1 + A R T E R I A L S TO W A R D N E I G H B O R H O O D D R I V E S + R E T A I L F R O N T A G E PORTION OF ROADWAY SECTION (Includes right-of-way and landscape setback) STREETSCAPE MODE TRANSITIONS Streetscapes are much more than instruments of mobility and conveyance; they are the common areas of a community – especially in Southern California. The transitions between multimodal highway and walkable neighborhood streets is as much about urban design of the public realm as it is about safety, access, and speeds. Highway 111 is recognized in community outreach for the 2019 Vision Plan as an iconic drivable destination where the character of the community is familiar to drivers for decades. Therefore, Streetscape Concepts for Highway 111 continue to provide significant setting for gateway landscapes and the Cultural Trail sculptures and installations. Together, these are understood as “Iconic Landscapes”. “Active Mobility” users that walk or employ bicycles and neighborhood electric vehicles will prefer quieter routes away from traffic noise that still provide extensive connectivity across the area. They also need storage, charging, and repair facilities in visible locations part- way into their neighborhoods. These and transit-users alike will be focused on their ability to move away from Highway 111 into and among neighborhoods. 1097 79 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN STREETSCAPE VISION Highway 111 will be reconfigured as more pedestrian-friendly, while supporting bicyclists, transit, and automotive use. Visibility to vibrant retail and community activity through desert landscapes will make this the “Iconic Arterial” of La Quinta. 5.8 CORRIDOR HIGHWAY 111 - 6D | HIGHWAY 111 (PRIOR SR 111) IDENTITY & ROLE ●Regional connection between Coachella Valley communities and La Quinta ●Iconic arterial that signals arrival into La Quinta’s commercial core ●Backbone connection for commercial centers that provides platform for economic growth ●Provides safe, accessible, and convenient access to residents and visitors. 1 2 3 48 FIG 5–4: HIGHWAY 111 STREETSCAPE ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT AD A M S S T AU T O C E N T E R WY S O U T H 1098 80 CORRIDOR DESIGN FEATURES 1.

There they may serve as gateways into surrounding mixed use or residential developments which will see frequent in-out vehicular access as well as pedestrians walking to and from their homes. Roundabouts serve communities best when positioned to address traffic congestion where a reduced travel lane configuration is the superlative goal for the sake of pedestrian safety. Increased capacity for turning movements and volume throughput can be achieved while slowing vehicle speeds and favoring pedestrian safety and comfort. Components of roundabouts beneficial to their community context include increased pedestrian and cyclist safety if crossings are placed midway along approach medians and include protected crossing refuges. Landscape parkway strips both frame the surrounding development blocks as well as protect pedestrians at each block corner. The circular median provides a special opportunity to lend unique identity to otherwise similar residential land use entry points. La Quinta has significant experience applying roundabouts in the Village district, adjacent to its Civic Center and around it’s most walkable mixed use development area. Likewise, Palm Desert has introduced roundabouts as transitional elements between the surrounding roadway network and a median parked streetscape purpose-built for pedestrian closures with weekly markets and street fairs. Adams St. is identified in this Specific Plan as a demonstration corridor for an active transportation safety reconfiguration that tailors these secondary arterials for improved pedestrian access to schools and open space north of a district that will see increasing residential land Roundabout in Galt, CA, with ADA accessibility and traffic congestion improvements along with increased landscaping Roundabout in Palm Desert, CA, serving as gateway into a pedestrian oriented corridor built for markets and street fairs MA T C H L I N E uses. Other future intersections recommended for these internal roundabouts include Adams St. and Avenue 47, as well as Dune Palms Rd. at Vista Coralina Ln. and Corporate Center Dr. These are intended in the Framework Concept as “District Internal Gateways” with “District Roundabouts” identified in the Roadway Network Approach diagrams of this Specific Plan. Further public and stakeholder engagement, traffic analysis, and detailed design studies are connected to the work being conducted for the concurrent Specific Plan for Adams St; however, similar transportation planning efforts are recommended for future transformation at the other three recommended locations. 1108 90 MA T C H L I N E FIG 5–9: ADAMS ST.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ●Highest degree of visual density, shading, and visual buffering as direct approaches into mixed use walkable environments. ●Greatest degree of shading for pedestrians and other active transport modes – mature tree canopies / driplines should cross roadway ●Drought tolerance is important but these internal roads should emphasize planting density ●Highly regularized street tree spacing, with median, parkway, and setback planting patterns aligned or in synced “rhythm”. 1 5 5 2 6 6 3 7 4 8 8 LA QUINTA DR HIG H W A Y 1 1 1 1111 93 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN CONVERSION OF SURFACE PARKING DRIVE AISLES TO ROADWAYS In many cases, parking lot access and parking drive aisles will be adapted or realigned to form future streets/blocks in a mixed-use redevelopment project. The site geometry of existing retail and it's surface parking should inform and integrate with future phases of infill where possible. An example of this is shown above, under construction in Orange County, CA as part of an Irvine Company retail to mixed-use redevelopment. A similar approach to mixed use infill which replaces surface parking and in-line retail is possible in La Quinta’s Highway 111 corridor. MA T C H L I N E Prior Condition: Surface parking drive aisle running along in-line retail frontage. Future Condition: Realigned and upgraded to private access drive along mixed-use.

Also, a shift toward greater emphasis on walkable retail formats will require landscapes that do more than shade parked vehicles. Utility systems will see demand increases, presenting opportunities to advance urban resiliency. The fundamental challenges faced by this visionary future along Highway 111 are: ●Urban heat and lack of green landscapes for residents amidst competing demand of visual connections to retail along an auto-dominated highway corridor. ●Increase in water/wastewater flows, and need for future utility laterals in undeveloped corridors Retail uses along the Highway 111 Corridor will gradually evolve into a mixed-use district. Urban systems for landscape, open space, and utility infrastructure must also grow and diversify to serve this future community’s manifold need for resiliency, performance, identity, protection, and play. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN ELEMENT FRAMEWORK This plan element differentiates the role and performance expectations of landscapes along different right-of-way corridors. It also establishes capacity and performance expectations related to city-led mixed-use development. Use this plan element to: 1. Ensure the livability, pedestrian comfort, safety, and climate change resilience for the sake of a significantly larger resident population. 2. Establish landscape roles and objectives along with suitable plant palettes for public realm streetscapes, parking areas, and pedestrian promenades. 3. Engage in a more informed and collaborative way with developer partners for better landscape architecture performance in residential and mixed use projets. 4. Prepare detailed design, bidding, and construction based on a concept proposal that organizes parts and their intregrated whole for La Quinta’s future Cultural Trail. 5. Right-Size programming and capital improvements expectations for new utility connections serving city-led mixed-use development sites. 6.1 SUMMARY + OBJECTIVES 1121 103 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The following are four categories that describe the nature of corridors and open space priorities that are appropriate for a more complex development future: OPEN SPACE PRIORITY AREAS These priority areas describe a policy requiring reserves for publicly accessible open space to be built along select corridors expected to serve as gateways into future mixed use and residential infill development. MULTIMODAL CORRIDORS Multimodal Corridors describes roadway right-of-ways that emphasize automotive and freight access to and through the Highway 111 Corridor, and as such, lend themselves as a “front stage” conveying the Highway 111 urban brand – an iconic and recognized drought tolerant desert landscape of palm trees, regionally suitable berms, all with clear visibility into retail centers. This is also the landscape setting for La Quinta’s Cultural Trail. The Landscape + Open Space Framework establishes areas for new public open space. An approach to landscape in parkways, medians, and setback buffer landscapes is also organized by corridors and their role. GREEN CORRIDORS Green Corridors label the network of new Collectors, Drives and other neighborhood routes branching from Highway 111 as opportunities to provide a different and more verdant urban greening approach. These streetscapes will host parkway plant lists that ensure pedestrian shading, urban cooling, and canopy density for visual screening all of which are goals for landscapes framing residential development. PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS Pedestrian Corridors identify both committed or expected pedestrian off-street pathway routes. These help ensure Highway 111 remains permeable to pedestrians, rather than locked into walled-enclaves. This network will be lined in landscape parkways with greening and other design requirements. These routes add off-street multi-use connections between the city’s portion of the regional CV Link and the future Cultural Trail. In summary, the approach to landscape can be considered similar to, and in alignment with, the approach to roadway heirarchy in the Highway 111 Corridor.

Open spaces are a required portion of new development projects. Each Green Corridor is illustrated to highlight the overall difference in approach to plant palette and street trees. 6.3 OPEN SPACE + CORRIDORS APPROACH OPEN SPACE APPROACH This Highway 111 Specific Plan introduces an open space requirement. Open Spaces are required to be located adjacent to an Open Space Node in order to ensure their benefit to surrounding development is enhanced by clear routes of access according to the recommended Roadway Network Approach. Details of their recommended location and visibility include: ●On or near an Open Space Node with the major entry frontage against the relevant Neighborhood-Level Green Corridor. Otherwise they may be located on or near an Alternative Open Space Node. ●Instances where an Open Space is near, rather than cornering at, a selected Open Space Node, there must be visibility to the street frontage of that Open Space from a majority of the Roadway cross section at the applicable Open Space Node. ●At least half of the provided Open Space should fall within the limits of the Open Space Priority Area, unless it is too large to meet that criteria. LEGEND GREEN CORRIDORS APPROACH Green Corridors here are differentiated in their role: either emphasizing visibility through an iconic desert setting, or emphasizing pedestrian comfort in a walkable mixed use setting. Both require a more diverse plant palette than one dominated by the iconic Mexican fan palms as the primary street tree. ●Highway 111 is a landscaped Multimodal Corridor featuring a desert landscape in 50' landscape buffer areas. The north buffer includes a more complex landscape pallette integrated with a public art scheme - together embodying the "Cultural Trail" ●North-South secondary arterial roadways such as Adams St and Dune Palms Rd should be landscaped to visually screen and buffer residential development from noise, light, and activity of those roadway corridors. A variety of tree heights and closer spacing in parkways and landscape setbacks will be important given reduced minimum setback requirements. ●Other Green Corridors at Collectors and Drives (both public and private) may have room for a more limited street tree mix, especially with narrow parkways and tree wells. Those street tree canopies shall ensure a minimum degree of dripline and shading coverage for pedestrians. PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS APPROACH More than mere pedestrian access routes, these are intended to serve as green right-of-ways or easements with minimum planted areas on one or both sides of these off-street paved paths. 1124 106 FIG 6–2: OPEN SPACE & CORRIDORS APPROACH CONCEPT Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1125 107 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN DISTRICT CORRIDOR: RESIDENTIAL EDGE / TRANSITION EMPHASIS District Corridor Landscapes are to be considered Green Corridors, and should feature a dense and layered arrangement of desert-appropriate street trees and plants intended as visual buffers with future housing and mixed use adjoining the right-of-way: Pattern and Placement Guidelines: ●Street trees interweaving two or more species in regular pattern at recommended spacing of 20' to 40' ●Emphasize visual screening with parkway and landscape buffer setback street trees in the right-of- way. Where feasibly apply a layering street trees of varied size to increase visual depth. ●6' maximum shrub and ground cover spacing for areas Pedestrian Setting Guidelines: ●Meandering or straight sidewalk behind parkways. ●Consistent row of street trees between sidewalk path and roadway/curb. MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR: DESERT IMAGE EMPHASIS Multimodal Corridor Landscapes should feature a desert-like, xeriscape or drought tolerant plant pallette dominated by varyingly spaced fan palms. Shrubs and ground covers should entail a diverse plant palette reflective of the native Coachella Valley context. Pattern and Placement Guidelines: ●Street trees are predominantly palms in groups or groves with recommended spacing 10' to 40'. ●Maximum space between street tree clusters is 90'. ●Maintain visual access to commercial storefronts and Active Frontages for drivers and pedestrians in the right-of-way. This includes consideration of street tree pattern and shrub spacing and height. ●12' maximum shrub and ground cover spacing Pedestrian Setting Guidelines: ●Meandering sidewalk path, minimum 8' width ●25% of non-median street trees required inside or "streetside" of pathway Landscapes for an increasingly mixed-use corridor entail a more complex milieu of landscape types. Guidelines establishing those differences for corridors and open spaces are provided here. 6.4 CORRIDOR & PATHWAY GUIDELINES CORRIDOR TYPES SUMMARY Roadways in the Circulation Framework are associated with four landscape approaches differentiated by role and character. There is one overall recommended approach to Multimodal Corridors, while Green Corridors entail most other streetscapes around Highway 111. Multimodal Corridors: ●Desert Image Emphasis: Highway 111, Washington St, and Jefferson St. Green Corridors: ●District Corridors w/ Residential Edge Emphasis: Adams St, and Dune Palms Rd ●Neighborhood Corridors w/ Pedestrian Shading Emphasis: Avenue 47 / Auto Centre Dr., and Corporate Center Dr. ●Private Drives or Streets w/ Pedestrian Shading Emphasis: Simon Dr., La Quinta Centre Dr., La Quinta Dr., Vista Coralina Ln., Costco Dr., and other block interior right-of-ways or public access easements. Pedestrian Corridors ●Internal Linkage w/ Pedestrian Shared-Use Paths: Multiple within each block based on block frontage length maximums. 1126 108 NEIGHRBORHOOD CORRIDORS: PEDESTRIAN SHADING EMPHASIS Neighborhood Corridor Landscapes are considered Green Corridors, and should feature regularized street tree patterns that shade pedestrians; additional street trees and planting beds around crosswalk curb extensions. Pattern and Placement Guidelines: ●Street trees, primarly one or two species in regular pattern at recommended spacing of 20' to 30' ●Emphasize pedestrian shading with street tree driplines, height, and foliage anticipated to shade pedestrian pathways 50% at midday at maturity (5 to 10 years based on species). ●6' maximum shrub and ground cover spacing Pedestrian Setting Guidelines: ●Straight sidewalk behind parkways. ●Consistent row of street trees between sidewalk path and roadway/curb. PRIVATE DRIVES OR STREETS: PEDESTRIAN SHADING EMPHASIS Private Drives or Streets are considered Green Corridors, and should feature regularized street tree patterns that shade pedestrians. This landscape approach is nearly identical to that for Neighborhood Corridors but allows flexibility in approving similar local access roadways. Pattern and Placement Guidelines: ●Street trees, primarly one or two species in regular pattern at recommended spacing of 15' to 30' ●Emphasize pedestrian shading with street tree driplines, height, and foliage anticipated to shade pedestrian pathways 50% at midday at maturity (5 to 10 years based on species). ●6' maximum shrub and ground cover spacing Pedestrian Setting Guidelines: ●Straight sidewalk behind tree wells. ●Consistent row of street trees between sidewalk path and roadway/curb. PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS: INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN SHARED-USE PATHS Pedestrian Corridors consist of Regional (CV Link), Neighborhood (Cultural Trail), and Internal Pathways providing access through development. All are shared-use paths for pedestrians and cyclists, while Regional and Neighborhood paths also accomodate NEVs. The Internal Pedestrian Shared-Use Paths are required to be maintained as public access linkages with planting beds buffering either side except where an active frontage or building access connects to or adjoins the path. Flanking planting beds may employ a walkable mulch such as decomposed gravel or similar natural compacted mulch. Landscape Guidelines: ●Trees adjacent to path, one or two species in regular pattern at recommended spacing of 15' to 30' where pathway edge is further than 30' from building footprint. ●6' maximum shrub and ground cover spacing ●Pedestrian scale lighting, 2700k lamp, as bollard type (max 30' spacing), or pole-mounted (max 60' spacing) 1127 109 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN ACTIVE OPEN SPACE TYPES Active Open spaces are favored for the Highway 111 Corridor area given the increase in residents anticipated. They provide opportunities for exercise, gathering, and recreation area for new residents of the Corridor. Examples of green or “soft” active open space: ●Sports playfield or parcourse/fitness trails ●Interactive play such as large chess, Jenga, cornhole, table tennis, as seen at Civic Center Campus ●Picnic area with furnishings ●Dog park Examples of hardscape active open space: ●Playground or tot lot (cushioned base) ●Dining or market plaza ●Game courts such as pickleball ●Splash pads or public pools ●Amphitheaters or performance stages 6.5 LANDSCAPE & OPEN SPACE POLICY The following are key requirements of qualifying open space: ●Implemented by the developer and accessible within one year of project occupancy ●Maintenance plan or agreement established ●May not overlap or be inclusive of any screening or setback landscape ●Adjacent to or within development project ●At least 20% of open space must be consistently shaded ●Rectangle bounding open space site plan may not have aspect ratio greater than 4:1 ●Passive open space must provide at least 50% accessible in plan OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT & BONUS This Specific Plan requires developers of multifamily and mixed-use development projects set aside 4% of all developed land (including new right-of-way and easements within the approved plan) as a reserve for publicly accessible open space. The entirety of a required open space reserve must be programmed open space – sidewalks, access, parking, and right-of-way surrounding that open space do not count toward the requirement. The open space may be privately maintained and publicly accessible, or granted back to the city as a municipal small park. The open space programming may be an “active” or “passive” type. Corner open spaces such as small plazas or green commons provided at an Active Frontage Node (where developers apply the allowed deeper setbacks and surrounding active frontage) may count toward this requirement. The Landscape & Open Space Policy for the Highway 111 Corridor addresses the need for public open space and common areas amidst anticipated growth in housing and residential population. The policy includes guidelines for public realm landscapes. Active Open Space: Open space designed with facilities for active recreation, physical exercise, movement, and observing other occupants engaged in active recreation. Passive Open Space: Open space designed as natural, vegetated, or sculptural settings enjoyed and observed passively by occupants walking or resting in the space.DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 Small open spaces are envisioned at new development along Highway 111, like this example at Spanish Walk in Palm Desert. Here, an active open space encompases approximately 4% of the total development project area. 1128 110 PASSIVE OPEN SPACES TYPES Passive Open spaces are an important resource for a growing resident population in the Highway 111 Specific Plan Area. They are especially relevant as resources for urban cooling and where the Cultural Trail and CV Link connect to new development. ●Ecological native plant garden/grove ●Sculpture or memorial garden ●Multipurpose green common ●Interpretive or educational spaces 6.6 GATEWAY LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES GATEWAY GUIDELINES & TYPOLOGY Along Highway 111 at entrances to the specific plan area, intersections with secondary arterials and corridor collectors, project entrances at signalized intersections, and around roundabouts, a higher level of investment in public parkways and landscaped setback/buffers is recommended and subject to additional guidelines. Planting density, pedestrian shading, signage, and diversity of plant palette will enhance the legibility of district corners, advance impressions of a welcoming and desirable neighbrohood, and elevate the quality of the public realm. Recommended qualities and elements for gateway landscapes: ●Increase of planting density relative to adjacent parkways ●Clustering or double-row of street trees framing sidewalk ●District or project signage facing undersections ●Pedestrian shading under gateway element ●Accent lighting of trees, signage, or public art ●Design balance or symmetry in-elevation viewed from intersection The Landscape & Open Space Policy for the Highway 111 Corridor addresses the need for public open space and common areas amidst anticipated growth in housing and residential population. The policy includes guidelines for public realm landscapes. The design phase for implementation of a reconfigured Highway 111 and Cultural Trail should include a distinct standardized gateway corner or block corner landscape plan to be applied across this Specific Plan area. This recommendation may alternately be applied to a public realm landscape standard for development site corners. In time, this recommended approach will lend a sense of a cohesive and legible neighborhood to La Quinta’s Highway 111 Corridor. Passive open spaces are an opportunity to display regionally specific plant palettes that exemplify design that is drought tolerant. In this way, they may have an educational role. 1129 111 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The La Quinta’s Cultural Trail will be a landmark open space experience that interconnects residents and visitors to the area’s best in retail, dining, recreation and landscapes, surrounded by art that tells stories both real and imaginative. 6.7 CULTURAL TRAIL APPROACH LEGEND The Cultural Trail is planned according to four major elements - a path, linkages, spaces, and nodes: CULTURAL TRAIL PRIMARY PATH The La Quinta’s Cultural Trail is built around a Primary Path through the parkway landscape along the north side of Highway 111. This off-street shared use path will mostly follow the route of the existing sidewalk, but built with decorative paving and in a way that integrates with the surrounding art installations. Additional side-routes extend the Cultural Trail to pedestrian facilities in and around new mixed use developments. CULTURAL TRAIL LINKAGES The Cultural Trail still serves its primary role as an active mobility facility – with pedestrian and NEV routes. Therefore its relationship to the larger CV Link and to surrounding mixed-use development is part of the Cultural Trail Approach. CULTURAL TRAIL SPACES La Quinta’s Cultural Trail is intended as more than an art- walk, but rather, an interconnected array of garden like spaces that charge the Specific Plan area with meaning and experiences. These Spaces are park-like gardens, promenades, or event areas that tie into the Main Route intended to benefit retail and activate Highway frontage. CULTURAL TRAIL NODES Cultural Trail Nodes represent the primary recommended opportunities to install public art connected to, or integrated with, the Cultural Trail Primary Path. These are intentionally distributed throughout the Highway 111 Corridor to ensure the entire Specific Plan area is participant in the Art in Public Places Strategic Plan and programming. Nodes are located at or near major intersections and entries to enhance their chance of pedestrian interaction. Different Node types pertains to installation size, level of investment, interactivity, and spatial impact. In summary, this approach to the Cultural Trail renders it a network of connections through the district, rather than a single off-street path. 1130 112 FIG 6–3: CULTURAL TRAIL APPROACH CONCEPT Highway 111Highway 111Highway 111 Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Auto Ce n t r e D r Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Wa s h i n g t o n S t Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Si m o n D r Pla z a L a Q u i n t a Pla za L a Q uin ta Pla za L a Q uin ta Seeley DrSeeley DrSeeley Dr Blackhawk WayBlackhawk WayBlackhawk Way Westward Ho DrWestward Ho DrWestward Ho DrAd a m s S t Ad a m s S t Ad a m s S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t Je f f e r s o n S t La Q u i n t a D r La Q uin ta D r La Q uin ta D r Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Vi s t a C o r a l i n a L n Au t o C e n t e r W a y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Au t o C e n t e r Wa y S Avenue 47Avenue 47Avenue 47 Caleo BayCaleo BayCaleo Bay Highland Palms DrHighland Palms DrHighland Palms Dr La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r La Q u i n t a C e n t e r D r Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Du n e P a l m s R d Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Co s t c o D r Corporate Centre DrCorporate Centre DrCorporate Centre Dr 1131 113 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN CULTURAL TRAIL INTERPRETIVE INSTALLATIONS The most common installation that engages users at a pedestrian scale, often incorporated in or adjacent to the Primary Path, possibly as simple as a ground/paving feature or mural visible from the pathway. CULTURAL TRAIL GARDEN SPACES Pedestrian sculptural or interpretive garden setting suitable for integration with outdoor dining, entertainment, or markets/events. Rare opportunities for the City, developers, and the community to partner. CULTURAL TRAIL LANDMARKS INSTALLATIONS Prominent and iconic art installations, memorials or monuments that serve as infrequent touchstones along the Main Route and should provide shade and spatial engagement. CULTURAL TRAIL INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS More frequent art installations, incorporating an element of animation or movement, visible within one block, interacting with Trail users (electronic or operable) or the natural environment (wind vanes/chimes, sundials). CULTURAL TRAIL PAVILION INSTALLATIONS Largest installations, which are required to be spatially engaging and to provide shade to pedestrians. These include archways, pavilions, shelters, follies, and gallery structures. Cultural Trail Nodes are the art installations planned along the Primary Path. A wide variety in their scale and type is recommended. Hierarchy among them should bear a relationship to the overall structure of the surrounding district. 6.8 CULTURAL TRAIL NODE TYPOLOGY INSTALLATIONS OVER TIME Once the primary path of the Cultural Trail is completed, installations will be added gradually afterward, and ideally to completion within 10 years. This typology establishes a guideline for design requirements that support a healthy range for installation cost and project profile: 1132 114 FIG 6–4: CULTURAL TRAIL NODE & INSTALLATION DESIGN GUIDELINES 1133 115 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The evaluation of estimated water, wastewater, and recycled water flows for City-led development opportunities in the Highway 111 Corridor informs utility preparations. These sites may serve as demonstration projects for best practices and forward coordination. 6.9 WATER & WASTEWATER UTILITY ANALYSIS This evaluation focused on development concepts for the three City-owned sites at La Quinta Dr., Dune Palms Rd., and Vista Coralina Ln. Together, these properties constitute opportunities for which the city will lead the development of affordable housing multifamily and mixed use. The evaluation only considers new development and does not consider existing residential, commercial, or institutional water use or wastewater flows. La Quinta is currently served by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). The CVWD was formed in 1918 to protect and conserve local water sources. Since then, the CVWD has grown into a multifaceted agency that delivers irrigation and domestic (drinking) water, collects and recycles wastewater, provides regional storm water protection, replenishes the groundwater basin and promotes water conservation. The text following the table presents the methodology used to estimate wastewater, water demand, and recycled water potential flows in the La Quinta Highway 111 Specific Plan. These numbers are for preliminary planning purposes only and should be revisited when development occurs. TABLE 6–1: ESTIMATED WASTEWATER FLOWS, RECYCLED WATER FLOWS, & ESTIMATED WATER USE 1134 116 POTENTIAL FOR WASTEWATER RECYCLING The use of recycled wastewater is a key resource in diversifying local water supplies and improving the area’s long- term water resilience. The State Water Resources Control Board (SRWCB) regulates the production and use of recycled water in a manner that protects public health and the environment. The SWRCB oversees the implementation of the Water Quality Control Policy for Recycled Water (Recycled Water Policy), which encourages the safe use of recycled water from wastewater sources that meets the definition in California Water Code (Water Code) section 13050(n), in a manner that implements state and federal water quality laws and protects public health and the environment. There is the potential for some La Quinta wastewater flows to be recycled by CVWD. The typical maximum amount of effluent that could be recycled after treatment is 70% to 80%. The table at left presents the estimated wastewater flows that could be recycled, based on a recovery rate of 70%. Moving forward, incorporation of recycled water into new developments will improve the resiliency of the community. Depending on the balance of community needs there are many options to consider. ESTIMATED WATER DEMAND FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT The water demand for the three plan areas was estimated on an annual average basis using the previously calculated wastewater flows. The percentage of water that enters the wastewater system was used as a factor to estimate demand. In the United States, on the average about 60 to 90 percent of the per capita water consumption becomes wastewater. Lower percentages are applicable to the semiarid region of the southwestern United States where landscape irrigation is used extensively (Metcalf & Eddy). For this analysis residential wastewater use is assumed to be 70% of water use and for non-residential 80% of water use is assumed to be discharged to the wastewater system. The table at left shows the estimated future water demands by Plan area. ESTIMATED WASTEWATER FLOWS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Estimated wastewater flows for future residential development were based on the estimated residential dwelling units and the per capita flows. For the housing land use category a mix of housing types was projected and a total number of dwelling units per area was estimated, and a flow factor was then applied. The estimated number of people per household was 2.46 and was based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for the City of La Quinta. A population of 1,230 to 1,279 people were estimated for the 500 to 520 future dwelling units on city-led development properties.. A flow factor of 58.86 gallons per person per day was used in the analysis which reflects the low end of wastewater flows from Metcalf & Eddy (Tchobanoglous,G. et al., Wastewater Engineering, Treatment and Reuse, Metcalf & Eddy Inc., 4th edition, Boston, McGraw Hill, 2003). Estimated wastewater flows for potential types of retail/ commercial services that could be provided included the generalized categories of Retail, Services, Food/ Beverage, Medical, and Business. It was estimated that there is 51,000 to 53,000 square feet of retail/ commercial space available for development. An estimated number of occupants per square foot was calculated and then a wastewater flow rate per occupant type was applied. For each service type the square footage per typical occupant was estimated ranging from a low of 13.5 square feet per occupant for food establishments to 60 square feet per occupant for less intensive uses including offices and retail services. A wastewater flow rate per occupant was then applied to calculate the total flow. The estimated flow was then aggregated by Plan area. The results sorted by Plan area and use category are shown in the table at left.

It anticipates evolution into a more sophisticated mixed-use district that includes housing, community services, improved public realm, and vibrant retail and dining. This plan prepares the corridor and its leaders for related economic shifts in retail and the nationwide demand for housing. The plan’s policy frameworks reflect a development vision and an economic advancement strategy. The commercial component of this future requires greater individual entrepreneurship, risk, and specialty to fulfill a demand for more unique and/or specialized commercial offerings. Retail goods and services may also focus on local-serving goods and services to suit an increasingly residential community. Meanwhile, the onset of denser multi-family and compact residential housing products, affordable and market driven, demand intensive planning review and engagement with developers to ensure public benefits are provided and site plans build to the desired vision. Implementing the long-term Vision and Policies of the La Quinta Highway 111 Specific Plan requires proactivity and collaboration among City departments, while seeking deeper partnership with the private development sector. City departments must move forward proactively in anticipation of a future that demands greater collaboration between them. Implementation tools, personnel roles, Council and Planning Commission ministerial approvals, public works readiness, and the City Manager’s team commitments must all be established in advance of each project and phase. This Administration & Implementation chapter includes General Provisions, with roles and responsibilities, zoning and code administration, as well as recommended initiatives and projects, and economic development approaches. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation connected to this Specific Plan are an important dimension of implmentation; any environmental impacts are described therein, pursuant to CEQA. CHAPTER OVERVIEW The implementation of this Highway 111 Specific Plan is structured as a layered strategy with varying degrees of advanced preparation, length of commitment, level of department involvement and leadership, private industry partnership, and interdepartmental coordination. The following Action Plan chapter which follows Administration & Implementation provides estimated cost and timing information for long range implementation readiness. This chapter is structured according to that layered approach, and includes: ●Plan Administration ●Administrative Initiatives ●Corridor Development Initiatives ●Site Development Initiatives 7.1 INTRODUCTION + OVERVIEW 1139 121 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 7.2 GENERAL PROVISIONS & ADMINISTRATION In so doing, the Design & Development Director shall consider the following factors and document applicable findings accordingly: ●The case is similar to previous interpretations of similar provisions; ●The interpretation responds satisfactorily to the Highway 111 Corridor Vision in intent and purpose of the Specific Plan; ●The resulting project is consistent with the General Plan; and ●The decision constitutes sound precedent for other similar situations. SEVERABILITY If any provision, policy, proposal or initiative of this Specific Plan is held to be unconstitutional, or in conflict with the overarching goals, intent and purpose of the General Plan, or deemed otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity shall not affect any other section, subsection, or application that can be implemented without the invalid provision; to this end, the provisions, policies, proposals and initiatives of this Specific Plan are declared to be severable. REVISIONS & UPDATES This Specific Plan provides for development of the Highway 111 Corridor for the next 25 years (2025 to 2050). It supports the Highway 111 Corridor Plan vision as a current aspiration for what the Corridor will be like beyond year 2050. The City, at the direction of its Design and Development Department, shall review this Specific Plan at regular intervals or as needed to ensure it continues to support the most recent General Plan, economic and development trends, the evolving voice GENERAL PROVISIONS The City of La Quinta shall administer the provisions of this Highway 111 Specific Plan in accordance with the State of California Government Code (CGC) and in conformance with CGC Section 65450-65457, as well as the Subdivision Map Act, La Quinta Municipal Code, its La Quinta General Plan 2035, La Quinta Zoning Code, and other relevant federal, State, and City regulations. This Specific Plan’s development procedures, regulations, standards, and specifications shall supersede the relevant provisions of the City’s Municipal Code as they currently exist or may be amended in the future. ADOPTION OF CODE & POLICIES The City of La Quinta shall adopt the Policies, Frameworks and Framework Diagrams, Land Use & Development Policy, related Development Code and related Zone from this Specific Plan, and in so doing, replace all existing specific plans within the Study Area with this Specific Plan. The City of La Quinta shall enforce the Highway 111 Corridor Development Code for the proposed zoning district to be enforced throughout this Specific Plan Study Area. SPECIFIC PLAN INTERPRETATION Whenever ambiguity or uncertainty exists related to this Specific Plan or the application of any of its policies, initiatives, regulations, or strategies, the Design and Development Director or Planning Manager shall make a determination as to the purpose and intent of any disputed Specific Plan items. Said determination shall be deemed final unless appealed. This section of the Specific Plan provides administrative provisions to adopt and enforce the plan to the benefit of the community. of the community, and key General Plan technical elements, especially Circulation and Housing. In particular, the Housing Element will be revised in preparation for the 2030 to 2037 Planning Period, at which stage this Specific Plan anticipates some of City-led affordable housing projects will have commenced development, if not completed. This Specific Plan should be reviewed to ensure continued coordination with the General Plan and its Housing Element with respect to affordable housing. As development proceeds, the regional economy evolves, and environmental conditions shift, this Specific Plan should undergo a review for any needed revisions before year 2035 and again in 2045. Those update efforts should include a measure of public engagement and/or workshopping to revise the Highway 111 Corridor Plan Vision as well. The City may consider a full specific plan replacement in time for adoption near the 2050 plan horizon. This ensures corridor planning remains current to the needs of a future generations of La Quinta’s Highway 111 community. CEQA ADMINISTRATION Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21081.6, a summary shall be prepared of any measures or conditions of project approval adopted to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The environmental documentation for the Highway 111 Specific Plan consists of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). Tiering for future projects consistent with this Specific Plan and MND will be subject to the requirements outlined in the 2024 CEQA Guidelines § 15183, or equivalent updated section. 1140 122 7.3 ADMINISTRATION INITIATIVES Pre-approval of site development plans, or ministerial approval, may be a key streamlining approach for City- controlled development sites where affordable housing, public realm, and other economic development goals lead to greater certainty about potential site layouts. ON-CALL ARCHITECT / URBAN DESIGNER To supplement the work required to manage, review, and approve development projects, the City can retain on-call architects and/or urban designers to assist city staff as needed. Pre-qualified consultants carry out specific tasks as decided by the planning and building departments. This can be especially useful when anticipating large development projects. These consultants can provide urban design expertise to assist the City in creating functional, attractive spaces by integrating architecture, landscape design, and urban planning. Send out a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) with: ●Background on the agency and services being sought, ●Partnership details and scope of services, ●Payment information with a not-to-exceed amount, ●Contract length and procurement schedule, ●Application scoring criteria and submission requirements List anticipated projects or improvements with which the City may seek assistance, such as implementing the development code, activating open space, and walkable corridors. CONTINUED STREAMLINED CITY PERMITTING & PROCESSING PROGRAM The City offers an online portal called The Hub, where the public can access information and services related to new development, including permit applications, inspection requests, and plan submittals. While The Hub (https://www. laquintaca.gov/business/the-hub/the-hub-online-portal) provides accessible information and efficient services, there are additional opportunities to further streamline permitting and processing. A step-by-step guide outlining the pre-application, application submittal and review, and permit and construction processes can provide clarity to the public. Review for simple permits without plans can be done over the counter. Stating reasonable review periods for different types of permits and submittals is recommended to increase transparency and accountability. An assessment of demand for these project development services can inform whether staff levels should be increased to ensure timely processing. Projects located within this Specific Plan area can be prioritized for review and approval. Additionally, special area design guidelines can set goals, provide design concepts, and minimize overall processing times. The following Initiatives are intended to apply across the extent of Highway 111 Corridor subject to this Specific Plan. Their benefits should apply to all new development, redevelopment, and infill projects. Administrative Initiatives: Administrative Initiatives here are Specific Plan efforts which ensure policies, decision- making and staffing are prepared to fulfill policies and support development needs. Corridor Development Initatives: Corridor Development Initiatives here are Specific Plan efforts leading directly to physical improvements to the public and private realm. City-Led Site Development Initatives: City-Led Site Development Initiatives here are Specific Plan efforts to accelerate development of City-controlled demonstration project sites. DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 1141 123 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN the need for more parking and reducing roadway safety issues like “double parking” in travel lanes) The resiliency component should encourage the overall reduction of off-street surface parking to address climate concerns, including the promotion of green and landscape based infrastructure that will: ●Improve stormwater runoff management by incorporating porous parking pavement materials, bioswales to filter and slow runoff, and native plants that require little water ●Reduce the heat island effect through installation of trees, solar panels, shade structures, and reflective cooling pavement paint to reduce localized heat absorption and improve comfort for pedestrians ●Replace underutilized parking with community park and green space The Parking Connectivity & Resiliency Program should involve the City as program administrator, with other parties involved including local businesses, owners of area parking facilities, SCAQMD, Coachella Valley Water District, Sunline Transit Agency, and Caltrans. The program may include parking policy changes, grant programs that provide funding for green infrastructure design and/or implementation, curb management programs, reflective cooling pavement pilot programs, tree planting initiatives, parking inventory programs, and more. PARKING CONNECTIVITY & RESILIENCY PROGRAM The City should establish a Parking Connectivity & Resiliency Program to help address the various concerns and negative externalities related to an overabundance of surface parking, including those impacting the environment, public health, housing/homelessness, and others. This program should be multipronged and tackle both parking connectivity – applying multimodal tactics to reduce the need to build additional parking – and resiliency – improving existing parking facilities to make them more environmentally friendly while ensuring developers and property managers access shared-parking benefits in a zone with reduced parking minimums. The parking connectivity component should encourage “park once” concepts, reducing the number of times people must park and repark to reduce traffic congestion (and associated greenhouse gas emissions) from circling to look for parking. This may incorporate multimodal connectivity, through the expansion of park & ride facilities paired with public transit and/or mobility hubs and bike/ped facilities that make it easier to walk, bike, scoot, and take transit. The parking connectivity program may include: ●Local building and zoning policy changes, including eliminating parking minimums or implementing parking maximums, reducing superfluous parking where it is not necessary and reducing overall costs to developers, facilitating more residential (and commercial) development which may begin to address the housing and homelessness crises ●Implementation of pick-up and drop-off zones at commercial/retail/dining establishments (avoiding CITY RE-PARCELIZATION PROGRAM While the City offers an online application for parcel merger approvals, consideration may be given to the development of a program for potential future redevelopment parcels. In anticipation of large anchor commercial tenants reducing brick-and-mortar footprints, a City advocate can liaise among involved stakeholders, facilitate the reparcelization, and ensure the project is in conformance with this Specific Plan. For instance, if a large parcel will likely be subdivided, the City and stakeholders should coordinate on right-of-way and ensure pathways remain uninterrupted. Other questions the City can consider when developing this program include: ●Are there any CCRs from neighboring businesses? If so, will it impact who owns or leases nearby? ●If right-of-way will be expanded, should the City obtain right-of-way or an access easement? ●How will multimodal pedestrian paths reach and connect the subdivided site? Is there an opportunity to connect to CV Link? ●If a landowner wants to redevelop, will buildings be subleased? How can the City ensure that redevelopment suits the owner’s and community’s needs? Major reparcelization tasks should be approved by the Design & Development Director and City Manager jointly on a per project basis, in addition to other approving bodies. This allows the City's Economic Development team and City Manager to leverage opportunities to bring in key businesses and attract development interest. A flow chart outlining required steps for reparcelization as well as detailing available options for stakeholders may provide clarification for any liaison that supplements the existing proposal and permitting process. 1142 124 7.4 CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES ●Apply enforcement evenly and based on code and policy aspects of this Specific Plan and its antecedent Highway 111 Corridor Plan. ●Maintain a list of ongoing interior architecture, site development and urban design best practices and examples other businesses and developers have done. ●Post application packet online in an accessible location and include a staff point of contact for questions. LOOP CIRCULATOR TRANSIT PROGRAM While existing transit systems are in operation, loop circulator transit programs can fill in the gaps by providing additional service connections for residents and tourists to key city locations. The transit authority assesses gaps in current transit stops and determines the demand for connections from residential areas to major anchors and city services. These programs supplement existing services and are not intended to replace routes. This type of program can be on-call but operate regularly during weekday peak commute hours. Similarly, an employer-sponsored transportation program incentivizes public transportation and reduces vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Employers work directly with the transit authority to purchase fares or create vouchers. An employee liaison can be the point of contact between the transit authority and the employer, and recruit colleagues into the program. Or a third-party administrator can manage the program. Employers may qualify for federal commuter tax benefits. FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Façade improvements bring economic benefits to the local community. Upgrading signage, highlighting or restoring architecturally significant building details, and upgrading community character through placemaking and landscape improvements has been shown to draw in customers and increase residential desirability and walkability. Typically, the local government manages commercial programs while nonprofit or neighborhood organizations run residential programs. However, public-private partnerships focused on reinvestment in the community are also common for both commercial and residential façade improvement programs. Funds can be sourced from BID taxes, federal and state grants, Mello-Roos districts, application fees, grantee match funds, or a combination of these. Basic guidelines for a Façade Improvement Program: ●Define eligible facade, outdoor furnishing, outdoor use, signage, and landscape elements managed by participants. The following initiatives are intended to enhance the economic profile and performance of the entire Highway 111 Corridor with potential actions and projects throughout. As such, these programs require collaborative work with the City’s Planning and Economic Development teams, and City Manager. ESTABLISH ACTIVATION & SEASONAL EVENTS PROGRAM Brew in LQ, the Farmer's Market and Art on Main Street are examples of outdoor, seasonal events that bring La Quinta residents out and generate revenue for the city. Live entertainment, food vendors, and exhibitors can occupy underutilized parking lots or similar spaces temporarily. Seasonal events may disrupt nearby businesses if access or visibility to those businesses are hindered. The City should work with nearby business owners to ensure a positive experience for them and a successful event that draws in crowds. La Quinta can also leverage the popularity of temporary pop-up events or night markets. Pop-up events can promote anything, such as limited-edition products, specific brands, and popular entertainment programs. They can last anywhere from one day to a few months. Night markets in California are typically seasonal events that attract residents through food, activities, art, entertainment, and socializing. Their popularity and economic potential even grabbed the attention of state legislators, when a bill was introduced in 2023 to streamline permitting of these events. The City can create a special permitting process for night markets so re- applying for event permits won’t be necessary. 1143 125 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN Groups such as the Southern California Development Forum, ULI, retail conferences, and other real estate and development groups are important for direct outreach to small regional businesses looking to expand to another location. Direct outreach to potential event operators for events such as athletic events, yoga and wellness conferences, product, arts, and cultural events host organizations may all be relevant targets of this initiative. SMALL BUSINESS OR INDEPENDENT RESTAURANT STARTUP PROGRAM The quantity of anticipated mixed-use development with Active Frontage, especially in a vertical mixed-use format, establishes a need for successful small-footprint independent dining and service operators. Planning for this comports with features of the economic forecast accompanying this Specific Plan. It advises a demand for a limited number of small independent restaurants. There is also significant demand for stand- alone restaurant opportunities. Ground leasing and operator agreements involving the City-owned sites put pressure on the City to ensure success in both types of commercial settings. Recommended incentives that are common among Cities supporting these businesses include: ●Waivers or deferrals for sewer connection fees, especially for “spec“ development ●Financial support or deferrals for fire protection costs in existing space fit outs ●TIF Financing for vertical mixed-use projects that themselves need to subsidize initial tenant ground floor commercial. HIGHWAY 111 OPPORTUNITY BROCHURE & OUTREACH PROGRAM The City is encouraged to promote the Highway 111 Corridor as a distinct area of livability and opportunity in the city. The Corridor promises to be the hub of mixed-use development with goals of walkability, proximity between diverse uses, and at a large urban scale. La Quinta is known as an otherwise lower density community with predominantly single use sites. Therefore, promoting Highway 111 Corridor development opportunities as part of a coordinated outward marketing campaign administered by the Economic Development team, will raise awareness of: ●The high quality and growth of the existing retail and entertainment ●City-led development sites which will feature housing supportive of a diverse workforce ●The entertainment focus of the Corridor, including outdoor events and venues sought ●The synergy of an administrative focus on approving mixed use infill in the corridor ●Incentives and programs which support developers and entrepreneurship ●Public realm and streetscape improvement plans Several of the above benefits are presumed to be under-way by the time a brochure or marketing package is assembled. Alignment with an economic development website landing page, sizzle reel, and a list of departmental and private land-owner contacts will be immensely helpful to ensuring an outreach effort effectively connects at the level of development and retail industry organizations. A case-management level of support is also recommended, which supports the establishment of independent restaurants and small businesses through their design, permitting, construction, and completion/ occupancy stages. In this type of program, a case manager is assigned to each establishment destined to be part of an owner-occupied or multi-tenant project. When conceptual design is complete, the case manager can coordinate meetings with relevant agencies to clarify code requirements, solve problems, and determine planning solutions. Once plans are submitted for final review, the case manager can liaise with agencies and monitor plan-check progress, helping to obtain clearances. Case managers in such programs can advise on the construction sequence and recommend a target opening date with forward preparations. At the completion stage, such case managers assist in follow- up problems which require solutions in the first months of operation. Further, they can connect the small business to City-led promotional initiatives such as the outdoor events programming. COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS AND RESOURCES The City should continutually evaluate the needs of a growing resident population in and around the Highway 111 Plan Area. Coordination with businesses and providers of basic community services, education, health and welfare will ensure those resources are part of an economically and socially vibrant community in the Corridor. Potential economically viable uses for the planned, privately-owned Institutional / Office space include hospitality, medical, or construction industry vocational schools; a children’s day care center; or a charter school. 1144 126 Other possible uses include medical offices; government or social infrastructure; a community center; or some combination of these. The City has a special opportunity to ensure those resources have a presence near affordable and market rate housing within it's City-controlled demonstration project sites. Design & Development and Economic Development Departments are encouraged to consider the wellbeing social and economic performance of the community with respect to the availability of such services and institutions in the long term. Business incubation, shared showrooms and meeting space, college extension and professional training are instituational facilities that can catalyze special economic clusters in conjunction with increased entertainment uses.' Organizations that may be engaged to determine their interest in collaboration are listed below: ●Desert Sands Unified School District ●Aspire Public Schools ●Green Dot Public Schools ●Western Electrical Contractors Association ●NORCO College ●InterCoast College ●UEI College ●San Joaquin Valley College ●UC Riverside ●CSU San Bernardino ●College of the Desert ●Desert Care Network ●Kaiser Permanente ●Eisenhower Health MIXED-USE ADVANCEMENT AREAS POLICIES & PROGRAM The Highway 111 Specific Plan governs one of Coachella Valley’s most commercially vibrant districts and is intended to be further economically stimulative by unlocking the potential for new development types and more diverse uses, alongside new investment in the public realm. This economic development mission will support the provision of mixed-use buildings, especially vertical mixed-use development types. These project types provide the greatest degree of economic resiliency and pedestrian walkability by placing important jobs, services, and resources within steps of robust housing supply. The initiative uplifts the entire Specific Plan Study Area economically, but preferences the physical development of north-south entry roadways leading from signalized intersections. These are likely to be collectors and drives that serve as the “front door” into developments – visible to Highway 111 but set back from the highway for a better pedestrian environ. These Advancement Areas are identified in the Land Use Framework Concept with a summary description in the Land Use and Urban Design chapter. They embody both policy and program. The policy dimension consists of two interrelated policies: ●Development Policy, a development bonus implemented through code ●Incentive Policy, a development incentive implemented through administrative collaboration 1145 127 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN The Mixed-Use Advancement Area Development Policy is part of the Land Use & Urban Design plan element and is administered by the Department of Design & Development. It will be enforced through the development plan review and approvals processes. Mixed-Use Advancement Area Development Policy details include: ●Co-located with Active Frontage Nodes that require a minimum of Active Frontage, which coincide with key development corners, ●Criteria for approval is the development must be a single footprint mixed-use building in a horizontal or vertical format, and that footprint must be no larger than one development block (maximum 400’ from right-of-way corner at Active Frontage Node). ●Allow an increase in height for vertical or horizontal mixed-use ●Preference the creation of north-south oriented mixed-use corridors that are most visible from Highway 111, as opposed to mixed use with Active Frontage buildings directly facing Highway 111. This encourages better connections through to the CV Link and within neighborhood. ●Aligns with and supports the State Density Bonus law allowing a dwelling unit density increase (AB 1934) whereby a height limit increase may be needed with commercial or parking uses dominating the ground floor. The Mixed-Use Advancement Area Incentive Policy is part of this Administration & Implementation Plan and is related to the Land Use & Urban Design Plan element as it applies only to development projects that meet the Mixed- Use Advancement Area Development Policy criteria. This Incentive Policy is, most simply, a commitment to develop an incentive program. The Development Code defines what types of commercial uses may operate in each mixed-use project. Market demands, lease costs, and parking requirements are all potential bars to entry for neighborhood-scale, independent (non-chain) tenants. As a result, many mixed-use development projects must subsidize otherwise vacant ground floor commercial in the early years of the project proforma timeframe. Building costs are also greater for vertical mixed use. To ensure these projects occur in the Highway 111 Corridor, an incentive is recommended, and the study and creation of an incentive program is therefore a policy of the Highway 111 Specific Plan. Mixed Use-Advancement Area Incentive Policy requirements: 1. La Quinta Design & Development Department and it's Director, the Economic Development Subcommittee and the City Management Department Director should bring forth potential incentives collaboratively. The Economic Development Subcommitte shall review and refine those incentives. These Mixed-Use Advancement Incentives will be brough forth for official approval by City Council as a Mixed-Use Advancement Areas Program for qualifying projects. 2. This Program shall be adopted within the time horizon of the Highway 111 Specific Plan and be evaluated for potential renewal after each development project use of the program. 3. Qualifying projects must meet the requirements for an allowable height bonus as part of the Mixed-Use Advancement Area Development Policy, which include single footprint mixed-use building in a horizontal or vertical format, and that footprint must be no larger than one development block (maximum 400’ from right-of-way corner at Active Frontage Node). They do not need to utilize that bonus. The Mixed-Use Advancement Area Program will be administered by the Department of Design & Development, and project qualifications, criteria evaluation, and ongoing incentive progress monitoring will be jointly administered by the City Manager's Office and the Design & Development Department. MIXED-USE ADVANCEMENT AREA PROGRAM INCENTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS The Mixed-Use Advancement Area Program is intended as an incentive program for projects administered according to the Mixed-Use Advancement Area Policy. Such incentives are typically a form of public-private partnership. While the City can form a deep supportive collaboration with developers on City-owned parcels, such incentives-based approaches to economic development are recommended for study and adoption at privately owned infill sites located along Mixed-Use Advancement Areas. The following are three common approaches recommended for consideration: TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AND TAX DEFERMENT Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a common tool used by cities to enable redevelopment – especially in the creation of mixed-use development types. A TIF program allows developers to hold-off the burden of increasing property taxes incurred by the enhanced value of the redeveloped site. Given this will enhance the position of infill projects with adjacent existing uses, the properties subject to TIF need to be clearly established and inclusive of the entire mixed-use building. It is recommended that in the project 1146 128 plat map, a separate parcel be provided for the mixed-use building(s) subject to the TIF incentive. A TIF program requires the adoption of a Highway 111 "TIF District" by council resolution and a portion of the property taxes deemed a “tax increment” above established base taxes would be allocated to an agency whose jurisdiction coincides with the TIF district. This program would be subject to Municipal Resolution No. 2018-013 which describes La Quinta’s updated Debt Management Policy, and California Constitution Article XVI - Section 16 on Public Finance. Typically, cities issue a municipal bond to absorb the impact of deferred or reduced taxes for such programs. TIF financing may be applied in a more limited program focused to assist developers with the tax increment associated with project elements that benefit the public, such as shared parking with public access, streetscape improvements, affordable housing, or required open space. IMPACT FEE REDUCTION Development impact fees were not highlighted as a limiting factor for multi-family developers in stakeholder interviews. Still, the scale of potential projects redeveloping existing retail properties could include hundreds of dwelling units and commercial uses, leading to significant impact fees. Fee reductions by cities are typically in the range of 25% to 75%, should apply to the entire corridor, but may be tied to specific development types and land uses. Often, these discounts are associated with multifamily dwelling unit targets in their adopted Resolution. They especially benefit retail tenancies that require special sewer connections that incur significant costs to spec spaces for small restaurant business. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS In the City of La Quinta, developers cover the cost of lateral connections to utility mains, including soft costs for analysis and design. Public funding for site and connection costs may serve as an instigator/catalyst for both City-controlled and private mixed-use development projects. Such a benefit may be tied to projects where roadway access inside the development site is returned as public right-of-way. Numerous other programs and incentives approaches have precedent throughout California and within the Coachella Valley. The City should explore for potential establishmentthat which examples suit La Quinta best to advance the development of mixed-use. TIF District: A TIF District is typically an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) for the enablement of mixed use development. They are establihsed as a distinct public agency, governed by a 5+ member board inclusive of Council, County, and community representatives. Their creation requires findings of completion and compliance reporting with the State Controller. Annual reports and an independent audit are an ongoing requirement for TIF Districts.DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 DE F I N I N G 1 1 1 1147 129 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 7.5 CITY-LED SITE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES CITY-LED SITE MINISTERIAL APPROVAL Design concepts provided in this Specific Plan should be presented in RFP/RFQ briefs to affordable housing developers– ensuring proposals reflect the City’s vision for this Corridor. The City’s Design & Development Department may opt to provide a draft entitlements package based on a preferred concept for these sites – generated either from concepts presented in this Specific Plan or from continued site planning. In conjunction with the Planning Commission and City Council, they may choose to issue ministerial approval for the development plan to enhance potential development partner interest. CITY-LED SITE LEASING STRATEGIES The City may consider parcel sale or leasing strategies that leverage its role in the the City-led site development projects. These may include lease, leaseback, or groundlease arrangements, especially when tied to incentives. They can be focused on affordable housing, or key commercial offerings such as entertainment or unique and creative food and beverage. CITY-LED SITE PREPARATION The development concepts presented in this Highway 111 Specific Plan provide a realistic site design direction that aligns with the accompanying programmatic MND documentation. The City may enhance the attractiveness of partnership for developers with forward site infrastructure installation. Among these, the City may consider stub-end utility connections and laterals, necessary mains upgrades, site transformers with increased residential load requirements, anticipated roadway and streetscape improvements, and limited rough grading and drainage facilities. CITY-LED SITE ONGOING PLANNING This Highway 111 Specific Plan provides initial development concepts that illustrate a potential development intensity for these sites that may achieve affordable housing and commercial development goals. To maximize the potential of these districts to serve as demonstration projects for walkable and livable urban settings, the City should continue the work of site design to provide potential developers examples of: ●More open space and its prime role in placemaking in tandem with height increase ●Flexible site layout potential through increasing of shared parking ●Greater vertical mixed-use, especially in favor of potential City incentives ●CV Link activation, especially non-retail uses such as resident common facilities The three City-led development sites reflect location-specific opportunities to enhance the economic trajectory of the Highway 111 Corridor while delivering affordable housing in wholistic walkable urban settings. A proactive approach to planning, partnership, and preparation of these sites is described in this section. 1148 1301149 131 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 8 ACTION PLAN 1150 132 INTRODUCTION The Highway 111 Corridor has adopted an aspirational vision through its Corridor Plan; this Specific Plan provides an actionable strategy with policy tools. This Action Plan chapter serves as “rubric for readiness” that informs the Department of Design & Development when projects should commence and when to act to realize the Corridor Plan vision by 2050. The purpose and instrumentality of this section is in the form of staffing levels and their readiness, the duration of administrative cost commitments for each initiative, and major capital improvements projects. The Action Plan's timeline is wholly, or partially, contingent on private sector activities; i.e., land development. The Action Plan timeline helps the City anticipate private sector needs in order to: 1. Communicate and share growth expectations with constituents 2. Implement positions in the Economic Development and Design and Development departments dedicated to facilitating further development of projects across the City and primarily dedicated to the Specific Plan's objectives 3. Rationalize alignment between public works and private investment timing The Action Plan supports the Administration & Implementation elements of this Plan by advising on the timing and duration of initiatives, projects, and expected redevelopment to optimize their achievability and effectiveness. 4. Prioritize programs and site improvements for maximum economic enhancement An abiding consideration in the review of this Action Plan should be the interrelatedness among the expected pace of real estate market absorption of dwelling units and commercial spaces, the balance between City-led affordable housing and future private- led infill, and the role of City involvement to instigate each at the right time. Encouraging the housing market to achieve compact walkable housing as nearly as possible to the original Corridor Vision requires deliberate planning and collaboration with development partners for the City-led demonstration projects. This Action Plan provides a realistic expectation of the real estate market's maximum capacity to absorb those developments over the coming years. CHAPTER OVERVIEW This Chapter organizes initiatives and projects by type, and similarly according to public or private ownership of the work. The Specific Plan implementation is organized through six total phases with a view to a 2050 planning horizon. Each initiative or project is represented by a timeline bar that should be inclusive of programming, design, and implementation/ construction. Projects are expected to be fully built and leased at the end of each bar. The Action Plan timeline includes the following sections: ●City Initiatives ●Current Development Projects ●City-Led Development Projects ●City Public Works Projects ●Forecasted Private Development 8.1 INTRODUCTION + OVERVIEW 1151 133 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN 8.2 ACTION PLAN TIMELINE prepares the City for a quarter-century of transformation and growth. CITY INITIATIVES & CITY-LED DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS Some City Initiatives are important for anticipatory planning work, proposals and permitting, and promotion and solicitation to development partners. These need to be established as the earliest actions. Other Initiatives are not prioritized until they are needed in support of new development. Current Development Projects pertains to ongoing private development not within City-led sites, while City-Led Development Projects pertains to upcoming development on City-controlled parcels. These are considered as the first to develop and will demonstrate the kind of growth expected in the future of the Corridor. 1. On-Call Architect/Urban Designer assists City interpretation of Plan and Code while encouraging high quality outcomes in City-Led development projects. In the long-term, City staff levels may increase to accommodate expended redevelopment activity. 2. Events programs, marketing and outreach, and developer solicitation are among the earliest actions. 3. Business Startup Assistance, engagement with institutions, and shared parking are all needed once new development occurs. 4. Development of the private-controlled commercial frontage portion of the City-led site at Dune Palms has commenced, and the development of affordable housing with some limited retail services is expected next. ACTION PLAN PHASES This Action Plan is organized through six total phases, the first of which is a “Priority” two-year phase of establishing administrative actions and programs for City Initiatives while overseeing the completion of current development projects (both private and City-led). Thereafter, the Action plan is measured according to five -year development horizons that begin at the adoption of this Specific Plan. Actions through the end of 2034 is identified as “Near-Term” and, including Priority action years, constitutes the first ten years of implementation and development. This period is characterized by change through City-initiatives and City-led development projects. After the first ten-years, the real estate market is expected to respond to this transformation by taking advantage of infill and redevelopment opportunity throughout the Corridor in the “Long Term.” That period will be characterized by private sector leadership through development that moves the district in the direction of the vision presented in the Corridor Plan. Over this period, the City must continue to respond to growth through public works and administrative support. In all, this Action Plan City Initiatives and Near-Term Development together will facilitate the economic and physical evolution of the Corridor by offering public programs and administration that accelerate projects while delivering new neighborhoods that demonstrate a highest-and-best urban future. 5. The City prioritizes establishing entertainment and dining uses fronting Highway 111 at it’s 15-acre demonstration site. Delivery of affordable housing on the site is anticipated to occur when a mixed-use partner is ready to move forward with a commercial project. 6. A retail/entertainment use or lodging adjacent to Residence Inn may occur first, ahead of expected housing on this parcel. 2 1 4 5 6 3 1152 134 2 1 4 5 6 3 FIG 8–1: ACTION PLAN TIMELINE: CITY INITIATIVES & CITY-LED DEVELOPMENT 15 Acre BusinessBusiness 1153 135 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN to 20 years, where project completion may entail phases lasting through 25. Distributing likely private redevelopment projects to commence consecutively and at an even pace comports with the reality that developers will avoid a saturated market. Generally, the City should anticipate a major development proposal every five years if the economic forecast is fulfilled within the life of this Specific Plan. PUBLIC WORKS & PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS Roadway & Streetscape projects are generally considered to occur consecutively, with one major roadway under construction at a time within the Highway 111 Corridor. Highway 111’s reconfiguration will need to occur in a phased manner and will dominate a majority of the Action Plan timeline. Capital improvements planning should anticipate the fiscal impact of all these roads and project impacts over time. PUBLIC WORKS CONSIDERATIONS Each major Public Works project for Roadways & Streetscapes is expected to include at least a year of programming and planning, including public engagement around safety and pedestrian facility needs, detailed traffic analysis and modeling, final design of bridging documents, and a bidding process. After these steps, construction will take at least a year for major roadway reconfigurations. Highway 111’s reconfiguration entails new paving and striping, curbs, sidewalk reconstruction and landscape replacement. Further, it’s related Cultural Trail may require additional preparatory work along the north landscape buffer. Through the length of the Specific Plan corridor, Highway 111’s total reconfiguration is expected to take 10 years. Other streets may take priority given their relationship to Near Term City-Led development, including La Quinta Dr and Corporate Centre Dr streetscapes. Most open space projects are components of expected City-led developments that will need to meet open space requirements, and so should be programmed to occur within the next 10 years. FORECASTED PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS The economic and real estate forecasts that accompany this Specific Plan measure market capacity for new dwellings and commercial through the next 15 The Forecasted Private Development shown in this Action Plan is distributed evenly based on realistic market absorption expectations, but is likely to change in some manner, including the order of which project proposals come to the City. 1. Highway 111, while shown as a decade-long effort, will occur in large phases, with major segments being completed part-way through this period. 2. A Gateways and Landscape Enhancement project is included to account for near-term work to improve parkway and setback buffer landscapes currently in a state of disrepair or decline. These projects are expected to include gateway and median signage that announces the Highway 111 corridor. 3. The Cultural Trail is understood to be a separate parallel project to Highway 111 reconfiguration. This entails initial infrastructure such as pathway and planted areas. An ongoing management program will convene artist works for installation over the years. 4. The earliest private developer-led projects are likely to be retail infill and commercial recapitalization. 5. An increase in private developer-led residential projects is more likely after City-Led affordable housing sites are completed. This is because the local real estate market's capacity to "absorb" or occupy housing units is expected to be constant and balanced. 2 1 4 5 3 The new bridge at Dune Palms - recent Public Works in the Highway 111 Corridor. 1154 136 2 1 4 5 3 FIG 8–2: ACTION PLAN TIMELINE: PUBLIC WORKS & FORECASTED PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT 1155 137 LA QUINTA | HIGHWAY 111 SPECIFIC PLAN PART IV APPENDICES + CODE 1156 138 APPENDIX A: MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS APPENDIX B: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY STUDY APPENDIX C: MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION DEVELOPMENT CODE (LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE - CH. 9.105) 1157 ORDINANCE NO.

The Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) Zone implements the Specific Plan consistent with the La Quinta 2035 General Plan. The Specific Plan allows for the creation of a new mixed-use zone within Plan Area identified on Figure 9.105.020-1 (Highway 111 Specific Plan Area Zones). The purpose of this zone is to: 1. Establish new standards for development within the Plan Area to create a mixed- use environment that balances existing retail development with new opportunities for pedestrian-oriented commercial development with active ground floor uses connected to public spaces and active and walkable corridors; 2. Enable the provision of market rate and affordable housing opportunities within the Plan Area that will meet or exceed the City’s allotted housing needs; 3. Create a pedestrian environment by requiring new blocks and street connections for large scale redevelopment, as envisioned in the Specific Plan. 4. Support landscapes and building design that support urban resiliency, walkability, heat mitigation, and accessibility within human-scaled spaces. 1171 Chapter 9.105: Highway 111 Development Code Section 9.105.020, Page 6 | City of La Quinta | February 2026 Draft Figure 9.105.020-1: Highway 111 Specific Plan Area Zones Applicability. 1.

As described in Section 9.105.020.A (Purpose), the Highway 111 Mixed-Use Zone is intended to implement the vision outlined in the Specific Plan for the continued development of automobile dependent uses along the Highway 111 Corridor right-of-way while promoting more human-scaled, pedestrian-oriented commercial development with active ground floor uses within the remainder of the Plan Area. Throughout the Plan Area, a mix of residential uses is desired, either with residential uses located above or behind commercial uses, or where allowed by the Plan, the development of new residential uses on the ground floor. 1172 Title 9: Zoning February 2026 Draft | City of La Quinta | Section 9.105.020, Page 7 2.Overlay Zones. a.Active Frontage (AF) Overlay Zone. i.Applicability. The AF Overlay Zone implements the “Active Frontage Policy” and applies to property located within a 400 foot400-foot radius measured from the intersection point of the two street centerlines which comprise an existing or future designated Active Use Node, as shown in Figure 13-2 of the Specific Plan or on an approved Large Project Site Plan. If only a portion of a parcel or lot falls within the AF Overlay Zone, the regulations of the AF Overlay Zone apply as follows, as demonstrated in Figure 9.105.020-2: (a)Less than 50 percent of the parcel area or block face is within the AF Overlay Zone: the regulations only apply to that portion of the parcel or block. (b)More than 50 percent of the parcel area or block face is within the AF Overlay Zone: the regulations apply to the whole parcel or block. Figure 9.105.020-2: AF Overlay Zone ii.Modified Regulations. Development projects within the AF Overlay Zone are subject to additional development regulations, as provided in Table 9.105.020-1 through Table 9.105.020-4. 1173 Chapter 9.105: Highway 111 Development Code Section 9.105.020, Page 8 | City of La Quinta | February 2026 Draft iii.Use Restrictions. Development within the AF Overlay Zone must not be developed with residential units on the first or ground floor. Uses associated with an on-site residential use, such as leasing office, community space, the work component of a live/work unit, or project amenities are allowed on the ground floor. All other non- residential uses (e.g. office, retail, restaurant, office, or service uses) allowed in the HMU zone are allowed. b.Auto-Oriented Development Overlay Zone (AOD). The AOD Overlay Zone implements the “Auto Oriented Development Policy” and applies to all parcels or portions of parcels within 300 feet of Highway 111 as measured from the edge of the Highway 111 right-of-way, see Figure 9.105-020-3 (AOD Overlay). Within the boundaries of this AOD Overlay Zone, auto- oriented, auto service, parking lot, and drive-through uses allowed, as shown in Table 9.105.020-5 (Permitted Uses in the HMU Zone and AOD Overlay).

However, there a few items that Staff has not agreed to and we are respectfully requesting that the City Council consider the following modifications to the 111 Corridor Specific Plan. I P a g e 1 Background Information and Discussion of Issue: Washington Park shopping center (Washington Park) was approved by the Washington Park Specific Plan, Amendment No. 4 (170 pages) on May 7, 2003. This Specific Plan Amendment was request of us by the City and focused only on Washington Park, was extensively negotiated and considered the context of the property's location in relationship to the surrounding Community including the "Corridor" of Highway 111. In reliance on the Washington Park Specific Plan, Washington 111, LTD expended significant time, effort and money to implement thisSpecific Plan, including, among other things, having City approved CC&R's recorded against its property. Washington Street is considered a High Traffic arterial (one of the heaviest travelled in the Coachella Valley) and carries 8,000 to 10,000 cars a day more than Highway 111. Washington Street is an auto oriented arterial. One of the purposes of the WP Specific Plan was to create a development that has clarity, focus, a degree of certainty for all stakeholders that can be relied on and is well designed (including highlighted architectural site and building components). The existing proposed Specific Plan sometimes referred to as the Corridor Study removes an existing land use category (Auto Oriented Uses), we presently have and is coveted by us and others. Washington Park is requesting that the City Council agree to change the following: 1. 9.105.020 Highway 111 Mixed Use (HMU) Zone Standards Section C. Zones Established — 2. Overlay Zones - b. Auto -Oriented Development Overlay Zone (AOD): "The AOD Overlay Zone implements the "Auto -Oriented Development Policy" and applies to all parcels or portions of parcels within 300 feet of Highway 111 as measured from the edge of the Highway 111 right-of-way, see Figure 9.105-020-3 (in the Development Code)." Washington Park Request: The Auto -Oriented Overlay Zone, as proposed only encompasses that part of the frontage along Hwy 111 noted above. Some of the Permitted Uses that are now only allowed within the AOD have been stripped I P a g e 2 from the overall HMU (due to the prescribed areas that define the AOD, see Figure 9.105-020-3 AOD Overlay) which results in negatively impacting the property value and therefore not allowed within the greater portion of the Washington Park Shopping Center. The Uses that were previously allowed within the current CG Zone (and Washington Park Specific Plan) are now not allowed in the proposed Highway Mixed Use Zone (HMU) which unilaterally changes the anticipated uses originally agreed upon in the original Specific Plan. Stakeholders of parcels outside of the AOD are now limited to Uses that do not include, restaurants with drive thru access including Starbucks, Dutch Brothers and 7 Brew Coffee, convenience stores with fuel bays (electric or fluid), auto repair, auto repair -specialty shops, car washes, vehicle sales (New and Used), vehicle leasing. Washington Park is respectfully requesting that the auto -oriented uses be left in place via a Conditional Use Permit process. Washington Park Request: That the following Uses be added to the Use Tables with the following designations "Permitted, Conditional Use Permit, Minor Site Use Permit" a. Auto Dealership (New and Used) b. Carwash c. Auto Concierge/Automotive Country Club (e.g. Finish Line Auto Club) d. Convenience store with fuel station bays (fluid or electric) e. Restaurants and/or Coffee with Drive-Thru access There has been expressed interest for the above "Uses" from qualified operators. Negotiations with property stakeholders and potential users have been underway for some time, therefore it is our opinion that not allowing these Uses would be a conflict with the existing Specific Plan. The Washington Park owners have participated in the Specific plan hearing for years in good faith, and had no actual knowledge of impending changes until recently, and had no reason to suspect a new regulation. The Washington Park owners/stakeholders have spent significant funds relying on the existing Specific Plan. I P a g e 3 Removal of these uses from the Washington Park project reduces competitive choices for users in the marketplace and benefits Corridor Property Owners both private and public owned (City of La Quinta). Some might be led to conclude that there is at the very least the appearance of conflict for a public entity who owns competing property to eliminate a competitor by changing the uses allowed on the competitor's property. Of particular note is one interested party, a National Brand Automobile dealership who has identified one of the City of La Quinta Highway 111 owned properties as a potential first choice BUT if cannot come to agreement with the City would reconsider our property as their `revised' first choice. We cannot identify one letter from an individual constituent of any elected official, a competing "private" property owner, an election platform promise from any subsequently elected official over the past 23 years, much less a community upswell requesting that the City remove the auto oriented uses on our property. Furthermore there is no public safety, health or welfare issue that arises. We are unable to identify the nexus of why these uses are being eliminated or any reasonable rationale for not allowing these use on the undeveloped balance of the Washington Park. In addition, in discussions with Staff and Jonathan Linkus of GHD, the lead consultant planning firm retained by the City expressed no reservations against auto oriented uses provided they could be designed to comply with the intent of the Specific Plan design goals. It would appear that the so-called Corridor expectation is that auto oriented uses can comply with the design criteria. There is no reason that an auto oriented use on the Washington Park project with Washington Street frontage cannot meet a reasonable design criterion that is fair and just. This led to a discussion of maintaining these auto -oriented uses "in -place" but revising the language so there would be a required Conditional Use Permit condition added to the approval process of auto related uses as a potential solution. This restriction is not within the existing Specific Plan Amendment approved in 2003 nor was it discussed at the time. I P a g e 4 Washington Park was approved by the City of La Quinta Planning Commission as a Specific Plan (Washington Park SP-1987-011). The purpose of this approval method was to ensure adequate implementation of the General Plan and for providing guidance for ensuring high quality development, and orderly growth that aligns with the community vision. Requirements of this Specific Plan along with "Permitted Uses" are part of stakeholder expectations. This new Development Code and Specific Plan may cause many of the stakeholders concern about liability for future needs in as much as Washington Park has already successfully implemented many of the Specific Plan requirements. An aerial photo of the impacted subject Parcels labelled: 1, 2, 3 & 6 is attached. For these reasons, we would appreciate the City Council considering these changes and then modifying the Project to incorporate these changes.

Future Forecast • Build-out traffic volumes overwhelm Adams if left as-is; speeding increases off-peak. Traffic Redistribution • New traffic patterns shift to Dune Palms and Washington. This will enable the Adams Street road diet. Road Diet & Roundabouts • Operationally feasible with traffic redistributing to Dune Palms Road and Jefferson Street; roundabout at Victoria calms traffic. School Traffic • Dual left-turns at Blackhawk are currently needed for parent pick-up traffic. If circulation shifts to right turns toward Dune Palms, the left-turn lanes could be reduced, freeing space for further multimodal optimization. Intersection Alternatives • Signals work better at Corporate Centre, a roundabout causes excessive back ups. • Hwy 111 can function with single left turn lane, traffic is primarily going straight, blocking second left turn lane capacity Conclusions l © 2025 GHD.
