of a small town. Imagine a place that respects the rich natural history of the Salton Sea, the Coachella Valley and the cultural heritage of its earliest inhabitants. Imagine a place that embraces the unique setting and natural beauty of the land, the sea, the sky and the sun. Imagine a place that provides this generation with the ideal opportunity to live, work, shop, raise a family, recreate, and learn, while ensuring that the needs of future generations are not compromised. Imagine a place that is designed and created in a manner to tread lightly on the land and its natural systems, much as the early Native Americans did. Imagine a place that captures that same philosophy of stewardship and embraces the principles of ‘Smart Growth’, ‘Sustainable Development’ and ‘Green Building’. This is the Vision of Travertine Point. A new community, a “New Town” in fact, that while grounded in tradition and respect for the past, holds a bright and shining promise for the future. The Travertine Point Development Team does imagine such a place – a town of balanced land uses and life styles. We are committed to creating a special place that will contribute something to everyone – resident, guest, visitor, neighbor, investor, employer, employee, and the surrounding community. We have authored a plan that is founded on this Vision and embraces logical solutions and a sustainable, responsible approach to development and environmental protection. Four key elements are the foundation for Travertine Point: 1. Economic Development and Community Services 2. Enhanced Lifestyle 3. Community Health and Wellness 4. Enriched Environment “Treat the earth well; it was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.” - Ancient proverb 1-2 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 1. INTRODUCTION 1. Economic Development and Community Services. The development of Travertine Point with a regional commercial retail center will capture the regional trade and commerce potential of the Eastern Coachella Valley and the Highway 86 corridor. It will also create the opportunity for local business development and associated employment, ensuring the economic well-being of the community. The development of Travertine Point and similar projects will provide the economic engine necessary to help fund the restoration of the Salton Sea. Travertine Point has the potential to be a resort and recreation destination for the Salton Sea Region. The project’s location and its components of resort, town center, marina, are attractions for residents, retailers, and visitors to the region. In essence the community is to become a self-contained “new town”, providing the full complement of community services of education, recreation, health care, public safety, emergency services, shopping and entertainment. 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1-3 1. INTRODUCTION 2. Enhanced Lifestyle. Travertine Point will provide, through sustainable development principles and quality design, opportunities for residents to improve and enhance their lifestyles. Residents and visitors alike will have access to the full array of urban uses, amenities, and services, many of them within a convenient walkable distance. A wide variety of home choices are available to meet the needs of all resident profiles, family compositions, and socio-economic segments. Shopping, entertainment, dining, recreation, education, employment, social and cultural opportunities will be locally available. Unlike typical suburban bedroom communities, Travertine Point will offer a complete array of amenities and services necessary for a totally enjoyable, secure, and friendly lifestyle. 1-4 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 1. INTRODUCTION 3. Community Health & Wellness. Travertine Point places a strong emphasis on wellness in that active recreation opportunities abound. An extensive trail system affords the opportunity to walk, jog, run, bike for exercise or simply for casual enjoyment, for short-range travel to work, shop, school and/or recreate. Good health is supported through sustainable design principles and promoting alternatives to the auto to improve air quality and to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Landscaping to enhance the environment is promoted throughout the specific plan, along with ‘green’ infrastructure to improve water quality for existing and new residents. Walkable neighborhoods and alternative transportation will entice people to leave their cars at home, promoting healthy exercise in the form of walking, jogging and cycling. An abundance of conveniently located parks and recreation facilities encourage a more healthy and active lifestyle. Medical facilities are an equally important planned addition to Travertine Point. 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1-5 1. INTRODUCTION 4. Enriched Environment. Travertine Point is planned to be a model community that recognizes and respects its rich desert environment and its relationship with the Salton Sea. It is planned to be developed in a sound and ecologically sensitive manner that embraces native landscape opportunities, and supports native habitat by protecting and enhancing the region’s bio-diversity. The plan promotes the concept of creating multiple function open spaces so that the community and the environment realize the greatest benefit from cultural areas, native habitat, trails, parks and protected areas. The applicant for Travertine Point actively supports and encourages the restoration efforts and continued use of the Salton Sea as a valuable resource for habitat and recreation including boating, fishing and birding. The applicant’s efforts and the development of the project will make a significant contribution to the Salton Sea restoration program. The Travertine Point Specific Plan embraces and reflects the rich heritage of the Coachella Valley and the site’s immediate context, including the culture of the Cahuilla Indians, the desert landscape, the Salton Sea and the agricultural history of the area. These elements are reflected in the landscape concepts, monumentation and design guidelines. 1-6 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 1. INTRODUCTION 1.2 SPECIFIC PLAN GOALS The primary goals of the Travertine Point Specific Plan are to: 1. Adopt a Specific Plan that meets the requirements of state law and is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the Riverside County and Imperial County General Plans. 2. Develop a balanced master-planned community that will be an exemplary living and working environment, founded on the principles of sustainable development; 3. Include principles which promote wise use of land and resources such as recycling or reclaiming water, soils or waste resources; efficient use of urban services by establishing opportunities for “practicable green” solutions for effective reduction in energy and water consumptions; and a comprehensive mix of land uses and housing choices; 4. Develop a range of transportation/mobility options, pedestrian-friendly circulation; encourage energy conservation and alternative energy uses; and implement attractive design with a strong sense of place, and appropriate human scale design. 5. Provide an integrated mix of residential densities and product types, including single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes: single-family attached homes and multi-family residences in townhouse, duplex, condominium and/or apartment configurations catering to all socio-economic levels. 6. Provide for commercial retail, office, institutional and other non-residential uses to meet local, community, and regional needs. 7. Provide for employment-based uses to achieve a balance of jobs to housing. 8. Design and adopt a land use plan that will be fiscally efficient and capable of supporting the financing of the construction and maintenance of required public improvements. 9. Develop a plan to provide a comprehensive system of parks and trails, as well as other recreational amenities that conveniently serve the diverse interests and needs of the community as a whole. 10. Provide a safe and efficient circulation and transportation system for private vehicles, mass transit, including opportunities for electric or alternative fuel source vehicles, bikes and pedestrians within the Specific Plan area. 11. Advance the implementation of the joint Riverside / Imperial County transportation plans through cooperative transportation planning and traffic modeling for both Counties and the two Caltrans districts to ensure that all agency issues are addressed. 12. Design a Town Center that is walkable, highly integrated, and encompasses multifunctional public and private spaces. This can be accomplished through a network of streets, sidewalks, and land uses that provide a focal point for community shopping, entertainment and activities that successfully combine commercial, civic, and residential uses that is also well connected to the rest of the community by the trails network. 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1-7 1. INTRODUCTION 13. Establish sustainable development guidelines that reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainable watershed management. 14. Establish flexible implementation mechanisms that will accommodate future real estate market and economic adjustments. The flexibility mechanisms are inherent in the structure of the Specific Plan and reinforced in the implementation mechanisms established in the Project Administration section. 15. Establish alternative development standards to existing general plans, zoning, and other regulations in order to implement sustainable development and environmentally sensitive principles. 1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of the Travertine Point Specific Plan (Travertine Point) is to provide for the orderly and efficient development of the Specific Plan Area consistent with the provisions of the Riverside and Imperial County General Plans. When adopted by both counties, through their respective legislative action, the Specific Plan document will serve both jurisdictional planning and regulatory functions. All future development plans, tentative parcel and/or tract map(s), or other similar entitlements, shall be consistent with the goals, policies and regulations set forth in this document. This document includes land use plans, development regulations, design guidelines, and an implementation program designed to ensure that future development projects are in accordance with the Travertine Point Specific Plan. The intent of the Travertine Point Specific Plan is to provide a development tool for Riverside and Imperial Counties, builders and developers, in the design of a sustainable and pedestrian-friendly community that includes a town center, diverse housing products, active adult residential areas, mixed use development, commercial and employment centers, resort and tourism facilities, recreation areas with parks, lakes, and trails. It provides a framework that ensures the ultimate development of each Plan Area that is consistent with the overall vision of the Specific Plan. The land use, circulation, parks and open space, and infrastructure plans are establish the foundational development parameters. Subsequent development applications, tentative maps and final maps may vary in form to some degree as more exact engineering is developed through the course of the ultimate build out of the Specific Plan. Implementation programs are also set forth for the preparation of detailed development proposals subsequent to initial construction, including required submittals and the appropriate jurisdictional agency’s review and approval process. The Travertine Point Specific Plan is planned to be both a policy and a regulatory document and is subject to both Riverside County and Imperial County Boards of Supervisors adoption by resolution. 1-8 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 1_intro_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 1. INTRODUCTION 1.4 SPECIFIC PLAN OVERVIEW The Travertine Point Specific Plan is organized in the following manner: Section 1: Introduction: Sets forth the Vision, Purpose, and Intent of the Travertine Point Specific Plan, the Travertine Point Specific Plan Overview, and Specific Plan Goals. Section 2: Summary: Provides a brief Overview of the Travertine Point project and an EIR/Issues summary in matrix format. Section 3: Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance: Is the adopted Ordinance that authorizes the Specific Plan to govern the future development of the property. Section 4: Specific Plan Land Use Plan: Provides the overall community vision and guiding principles for Travertine Point, the Land Use Plan, a description of the individual plan elements and development standards (land use, master landscape concept, circulation, drainage, water, sewer and utilities infrastructure, grading, and phasing) for the Specific Plan area. This section also provides a discussion of the Specific Plan Land Use Division into four Districts that includes development standards, permitted uses, sustainable developmentprincipals, and design guidelines to ensure that construction of the new development is consistent with the vision and goals of the Travertine Point Specific Plan. It also includes a description of many of the commitments necessary to implement the Travertine Point Specific Plan, including the implementation measures, financing mechanisms, and maintenance programs. Lastly it includes a Project Administration section. Section 5: EIR and General Plan Analysis: Concurrently, with this Specific Plan document, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR evaluates the land use plan, circulation, and infrastructure improvements associated with the Travertine Point Specific Plan and the potential impacts that would result from their implementation. The EIR also proposes measures to mitigate potential impacts; many of which are incorporated into this document. The General Plan Analysis clarifies the land use and recommended guidelines for development with the specific plan area in collaboration with the adopted General Plans. The Specific Plan provides the opportunity for alteration of land use patterns and development standards. 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2-1 Travertine Point Travertine Point  a New Community Founded on Sustainability 2 SUMMARY 2.1 PROJECT LOCATION Travertine Point is located approximately thirty-five miles south of Palm Springs and twelve miles north of Salton City. The southern area of the Specific Plan area is land marked by a rock outcropping known as Travertine Point at the southerly end of Coachella Valley near the jurisdictional boundary of Riverside and Imperial County. Refer to Exhibit 2-1, Regional Location Map, and Exhibit 2-2, Project Vicinity Map. The Travertine Point Specific Plan area encompasses approximately 4,918 acres of land within the Coachella Valley with multiple ownerships. Black Emerald, LLC owns approximately 1,750 acres, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indian (TMDCI) Reservation Lands occupy 1,413 acres, and numerous “Other” owners include 1,755 acres of the remaining area of fee land. The majority of the properties – totaling 3,936 acres – lie with the jurisdiction of Riverside County, with the remainder – totaling 982 acres – within Imperial County.

SUMMARY 2.2.2 Physical Characteristics The Specific Plan’s undeveloped areas are relatively flat and sparsely vegetated. Several drainages traverse the property which lies on an alluvial fan at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains and drains into the Salton Sea. The soil types consist of alluvial deposits. The property slopes from southwest to northeast with gradual grade changes. Greater slope grades and changes occur west and south of Highway 86S. Highway SR-86S traverses the center of the Specific Plan area as a limited-access highway. SR-86(S) is designated a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Highway connecting the El Centro/Mexicali area to the south with the Desert Cities area and Interstate 10 to the north. Riverside County owns two parcels that total approximately 166.6 acres within the Specific Plan area. The Oasis landfill operations occur on the 161-acre parcel located south of 84th Avenue. The northern 80 acres is currently being used for landfill operations and the southern 81 acres is reserved as a future borrow source for possible future closure construction of the landfill (source: Riverside County Waste Management District, SP No. 375 comment letter dated October 29, 2008). The landfill was started several decades ago, and has recently reopened two days a week, after having been limited to two days of operation per year for the past several years. The majority of the Specific Plan area is active agricultural uses or undeveloped property within TMDCI jurisdictional control. Refer to Exhibit 2-2, Project Vicinity Map. 2.2.3 Surrounding Land Use The entire project area within Riverside County is located within the Eastern Coachella Valley Area Plan of the County’s General Plan. The surrounding land uses consist of mainly agricultural with some aqua cultural uses to the north (81st and 82nd Avenues), and northeast (Pierce Street and 81st Avenue). The Salton Sea lies directly to the east. The areas to the south of 86th Avenue, in unincorporated Imperial County, is currently vacant with a 293 acre portion of the vacant property to the south/southeast, adjacent to S86S, proposed as the Travertine Estates Specific Plan. This is an altogether separate specific plan area consisting of approximately 1,406 single and multi-family residential units, with a 19-acre commercial development site. The existing Desert Shores community is located to the south and east of the SR-86S. The Anza Borrego Desert State Park lies to the southwest in San Diego County and is California's largest state park, encompassing more than 600,000 acres. It is framed by, and includes many rugged mountain ranges: the Bucksnorts and the Santa Rosas on the north, the Jacumba Mountains on the South and the Vallecito and Pinyon Mountains on the west. To the east, the Borrego Mountains taper into the Carrizo Badlands before falling away into the Salton Trough. Other, privately owned, vacant property lies to the west within Riverside County. Refer to Exhibit 2-3, Oblique Aerials. 2-10 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 2. SUMMARY 2.3 PROJECT SUMMARY The Specific Plan Land Use Concept is the initial high-altitude expression of the “Big Ideas” contained in the Travertine Point vision. SR-86S, gently sloping terrain and topographic features, view potential, and the juxtaposition of Tribal lands and non- tribal fee lands are major organizing elements that give form and substance to the land use and circulation patterns. A community of this scale can best be grasped by viewing it in smaller districts, each with its own subset of land uses. In the case of Travertine Point, four districts consist of land uses that include:  the Town Center including Regional Commercial, Mixed-Use and Business Park,  the Resort,  the Marina,  Residential Neighborhoods,  Neighborhood Retail,  Recreation and Open Space,  Schools, and  Public Services and Facilities The Travertine Point Illustrative Concept Plan (refer to Exhibit 2-4, Illustrative Concept Plan), depicts the proposed major land uses and circulation system.  The Town Center – The heart or ‘Town Center’ of Travertine Point is located near its geographic center, at a future SR-86S interchange proposed to support the specific plans circulation. Land uses include a regional retail center, an employment-based business park, and a mixed-use area that allows for a variety of land uses including retail, offices, institutional uses, multi-family residential, as well as other visitor-serving uses such as a potential resort hotel and casino. “Treat the earth well; it was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.” - Ancient proverb 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2-11 2. SUMMARY  The Resort – The resort area is located to the south of the ‘Town Center’ on the west side of SR-86 and is another location suitable for a hotel, spa, specialty retail, conference facilities and potential casino, an upscale RV park, and golf. Approximately half of the resort area is on TMDCI land.  The Marina – A marina is proposed at the southeast portion of the Specific Plan area on TMDCI Reservation land. The marina development is a potential future use that assumes the successful restoration of the Salton Sea as presently proposed by the Salton Sea Authority. In addition to boat slips and marine sales and services, the marina area will also provide specialty retail shops, restaurants and an opportunity for lodging. 2-12 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 2.

SUMMARY  The Cultural Preserve and Living Desert – The northern portion of TMDCI Reservation land is planned to be maintained as a cultural preserve and ‘living desert’. This area is known to have significant archeological artifacts. The cultural preserve is planned to protect and preserve these culturally sensitive lands and artifacts.  The Residential Neighborhoods – The residential component of Travertine Point is planned for a wide array of product types, home sizes, lot sizes, and pricing. The residential neighborhoods will support a diverse population, life-styles, and family groups. Residential housing is planned to be predominantly single family in character, but may include compact residential lots, attached homes, condominiums, multi- family – for-sale and rental units, and opportunities for active adult neighborhoods. A resort-style residential neighborhood is planned to be designed with a membership golf course planned for the southeast portion of the Specific Plan Area in Imperial County. The residential areas are characterized by five categories:  Medium Density Residential (MDR) areas allow development in the range of up to 2-5 dwelling units per acre.  Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR) areas allow development in the range of up to 5- 8 dwelling units per acre.  High Density Residential (HDR) areas allow development in the range of up to 8-14 dwelling units per acre.  Very High Density Residential (VHDR) areas allow development to 14-20 dwelling units per acre.  Highest Density Residential (HHDR) areas allow development to 20+ dwelling units per acre. 2-16 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 2. SUMMARY  Commercial Retail (Local) – Neighborhood retail centers provide for the day-to-day shopping needs of the residents. Grocery supermarkets and drug stores are anticipated to anchor these centers that include other neighborhood- supported shops, services, and conveniences.  Open Space, Recreation, Trails and Parks – A significant portion of Travertine Point’s Specific Plan – approximately 1,200 acres, of the total land area – is designated as open space for a variety of open space uses including:  an extensive network of broad storm water flood control channels that will support ground water re-charge. These naturally landscaped linear corridors will also function as an integrated component of the Specific Plan’s multi-functional trails system.  storm water detention areas that support public park and recreation uses  a public park system that provides a full spectrum of recreational facilities and activities  natural open space areas that remain undisturbed and may be enhanced to increase the natural habitat value to support existing wildlife  function as open space corridors between the Salton Sea, the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the Anza Borrego State Park,  a cultural preserve/living desert and possibly other culturally sensitive lands that support preservation, management, and education of cultural heritage or folklore  golf course(s)  an extensive network of improved multi- purpose trails 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2-17 2. SUMMARY In addition to the open space planning areas, residential as well as the non-residential planning areas may also provide recreational facilities and amenities such as:  water reservoirs that will be designed as multi- functional facilities for irrigation, water storage, storm water detention and water quality treatment, possible ground water re- charge and for recreational uses (non- motorized boating and fishing)  private recreation centers developed in collaboration with residential projects  Schools – Several elementary and, middle schools as well as a high school are to be planned and located in coordination with the Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) to serve the needs of the community. Travertine Point will ultimately require a new high school and potentially an adult education facility for continuing education, trade school, or satellite campus. The actual number and location of all public school facilities will be determined by the number of homes built and the number of new students generated by the development, in collaboration with the Coachella Valley Unified School District. The Land Use Plan currently anticipates the need for four elementary (grades K-6), one middle (grades 7-8), and one high school campus (grades 9-12) based on current CVUSD facilities requirements and forecasted buildout of student generating housing.  Public Services and Facilities – Public safety services and emergency facilities (police, fire, EMT) is accommodated in the planning for Travertine Point in collaboration with the responsible agencies. Civic uses (libraries, museums, performing arts, government centers, courts, etc.) are permitted uses in the Town Center as well as throughout the Specific Plan area where appropriate. 2-18 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 2.

SUMMARY Travertine Point Entitlements – The Travertine Point entitlements include:  TMDCI Project Approval and Environmental Clearance.  Riverside County General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, Change of Zone, and Certified Environmental Impact Report (Refer to Exhibit 2-5, Riverside County Existing General Plan and Exhibit 2-6, Riverside County Existing Zoning).  Imperial County General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, and Certified Environmental Impact Report (Refer to Exhibit 2-7, Imperial County Existing General Plan and Exhibit 2-8, Imperial County Existing Zoning). To ensure the integrity of the community’s vision and proposed land uses illustrated on the Concept Plan, the Travertine Point Specific Plan will be a single document processed through Riverside and Imperial Counties. Each respective jurisdiction shall maintain permitting authority for subsequent development applications. 2.4 GENERAL CONSTRAINTS The Specific Plan area has site constraints that influence decisions towards the ultimate development of the Specific Plan area and the proposed land use plan. Constraints include geographical, jurisdictional, and man-made improvements. Refer to Exhibit 2-9, Constraints Map. Geographical constraints include the mountain ranges to the south and Travertine Point. Jurisdictional waters traversing from the west to the east and in some cases contained within drainage easements. The terrain slopes from the west and southwest to the east and northeast. The shoreline of the Salton Sea maintains a physical limitation as the eastern boundary of the Specific Plan. Jurisdictional constraints include the boundaries of three county jurisdictions, two of which are within the Specific Plan area, Riverside and Imperial County’s. The third boundary is San Diego County that borders the southwestern most portion of the site, which is also the Anza Borrego Desert and abuts the Torres Martinez Tribal Lands (TMDCI). In addition, TMDCI controlled properties are located throughout the Specific Plan area. The Salton Sea Authority is another quasi-public agency that influences development along the Salton Sea. Man-made improvements include Highway 86S which is the main transportation corridor that bisects the Specific Plan area. Numerous well sites, irrigation lines, and drainages are located throughout the property. A fiber optic line, 116kV and 92 kV overhead power lines are within the Specific Plan area. The Riverside County landfill, located at the southwest intersection of 84th Avenue and Lincoln Street, is open two days a week. Drainage channels traverse the site from a west to east direction, east of Highway 86S. A cell tower exists along Lincoln Street and 84th Avenue. Farm related facilities and structures are scattered throughout the Specific Plan area including several irrigation reservoirs and ponds. 2-20 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 2_sum_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 2.

Travertine Point will accomplish this by creating an exemplary community in an area suitable for development, while protecting the integrity and vitality of existing communities, thereby strengthening the region as a whole. Implementation of Travertine Point’s sustainable development principles will generate economic opportunities; create great places for people to live, work, play, shop, and visit; preserve the qualities people love about their communities; and protect and conserve environmental and cultural resources. Travertine Point implements sustainable development land use principles by creating a balanced master- planned community that exemplifies a living and working environment. Travertine Point contains efficient land use patterns, a future town center, lifestyle-oriented amenities, and community services. By developing in the right places at the appropriate time, planned development in the path of the valley’s growth corridor is the foundation for quality growth, especially in the context of large-scale, mixed-use new communities (New Towns) such as Travertine Point. The direct result is maximizing the efficiencies in land use, transportation, infrastructure, public services and facilities, as well as the conservation and management of resources. This strategy ensures that the “Vision” for Travertine Point will be a New Town community that embraces sustainable and smart growth practices. Travertine Point is a well planned community that makes the best use of efficient land use patterns and practices, in that it:  utilizes proximate existing and planned transportation facilities (SR 86S);  represents logical extensions and expansions of existing and planned infrastructure;  provides alternate and improved mobility options, walkable neighborhoods, and reduced dependency on single-occupant vehicle trips;  accommodates a supply of housing for all incomes and lifestyles, including workforce and affordable housing;  ensures that public infrastructure, services and facilities are provided concurrently with new development;  reduces adverse impacts on valuable habitat, air and water quality;   promotes conservation and increase efficiency of resource use;  prevents the adverse effects of light pollution; and  creates a secure, vibrant, desirable, and sustainable place for people. 4-2 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN There is a need for coordinated circulation systems to reduce infrastructure, travel time, and improve lifestyles. The location of the Travertine Point Specific Plan is appropriate for development in a regional context and complements existing and long-term planned transportation patterns. Utilizing sustainable development principles, Travertine Point provides linkage of proposed urban land uses to existing and planned regional transportation infrastructure. Bringing together jobs and housing in an attractive, harmonious manner results in reduced commuting time, distance, and trips. Not only will this tend to lessen the burden on the roadway system, but it will also lessen the stress of metropolitan living and provide more time for family, recreation, and leisure interests. The sustainable development principle of efficient land use and circulation patterns for the Travertine Point Specific Plan is demonstrated both at the regional level, and at the project level, as shown on Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan. The Torres Martinez Tribe collaborated with the applicant and approved the currently proposed land uses for their Tribal Lands within the Specific Plan area. Although the land use designations identified on the Torres Martinez tribal property are not part of the Specific Plan’s formal zoning boundary, the land use designations are part of the recommendations to guide their entitlements for future development and the Specific Plan includes the tribal land as an integrated part of the project description. The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, being a sovereign nation, maintains ultimate land use jurisdiction over properties within reservation boundaries, regardless of the ownership of such properties, therefore the tribal land entitlement process is separate from the properties within County jurisdiction. The Torres Martinez tribe has been an active participant in the process and fully supports the Specific Plan and all of its implementation requirements. The Tribe intends to manage its land within the intent of the Specific Plan and will proceed to adopt the Specific Plan principles into their official Tribal General Plan as regulated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-3 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.1 LAND USE PLAN 4.1.1 Land Use Plan Overview The planning for Travertine Point proposes a “New Town” community on approximately 4,918 acres at the south end of the East Coachella Valley. The Specific Plan will govern a major portion of Travertine Point, some 3,505 acres of non-Tribal land. The TMDCI Tribal lands total approximately 1,413 acres. Planned uses include a wide array of residential products, commercial centers, resort opportunities, business park development, schools, public facilities, parks, open space, recreational trails and bike paths, cultural preservation, and an internal transportation system integrated with Highway 86S. The vision for Travertine Point implements current policies and trends in creating more sustainable and self-supporting communities that will be a response to population growth in the East Coachella Valley. Travertine Point is planned to accommodate future growth in an area that is in transformation from a rural area to an urban area. It furthers the goals established in Section 1.2, Specific Plan Goals through the ultimate build out of Travertine Point. The Specific Plan advances the joint services and ventures between Imperial County, Riverside County, and TMDCI, and supports the Salton Sea Authority and its restoration planning efforts. Both counties, the TMDCI, and the Salton Sea Authority endorse the type of well-planned development and responsible growth management that Travertine Point embodies. Embedded in the Vision that is Travertine Point is the ideal that members of all socioeconomic segments will live, work, shop, and take advantage of recreational facilities together. That Vision requires that planning for housing for all economic levels commence at the very beginning of the project. Affordable Housing - Travertine Point’s affordable housing program will provide a minimum of 15% of the total dwelling units as affordable housing, or a total of 1,845 affordable units assuming the project is built out to the maximum of 12,300 units. For Travertine Point it has been determined that 15 percent of the housing should be affordable with the target eligibility income level ranging between 35 and 120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Affordable housing will be developed generally in concert with, and/or as, “market-rate” housing. The number of affordable units or amount of in-lieu fee will be determined by residential unit counts and/or square footage, and will be adjusted to respond to market conditions. A housing unit shall qualify as an affordable unit if rented or sold to very low, low, or moderate-income households. The affordable unit home’s sales price, or rental payment, shall be based on household median incomes for Riverside County. Information relating to home sales price, market areas and median income in the County of Riverside is made available by resolution of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, and shall be made available to prospective renters or buyers. Affordable rental payments shall be monthly housing expenses, including a reasonable allowance for utilities (30 percent of gross monthly income), for rental units for very low, low, or moderate income households. Affordable sales price shall be at which moderate, low or very low income households can qualify for the purchase of a housing unit, calculated on the basis of underwriting standards of mortgage financing available. 4-4 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Affordable Housing Requirement - The required amount of affordable units to be made available is based on a percentage of the estimated residential units allocated within the Development Phases as shown in the table below. Delivery of affordable units will accelerate from a beginning of seven percent, peak at thirty-five percent and average the requirement of fifteen percent at buildout. The development of affordable housing units starts lower in early phases because of accessibility, limited availability of economic subsidies, and service needs. Affordable housing developments for very low and low income for example, may have special considerations that require a full-range of services with easy access to transportation, schools, and medical facilities, etc. As the community grows, these types of services become more readily accessible to meet their needs. The affordable housing requirement will increase to thirty-one percent and thirty-five percent during Development Phases III and IV respectively and will require fifteen percent for Development Phase V at buildout. The required amount of affordable units is based on the residential units allocated to the Development Phase. It is not the intent to require the required amount of affordable units to be necessarily located within the corresponding Development Phase. This provides the flexibility to locate actual development of affordable residential units anywhere within the community and where it is most appropriate. Affordable units may be provided within any phase and at any time as long as the affordable units or in-lieu fees provided meets the minimum residential development thresholds being built within the community. Table 4-0, Affordable Housing Requirement, outlines the Specific Plan’s required amount of affordable units pursuant to the residential units allocated to the corresponding Development Phase. (See also Chapter 4.16, Project Administration for affordable housing implementation measures.)

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Methods to Provide for Affordable Housing - It is recognized that no model currently exists to forecast residential financing over an extended period of time. What is known is that residential development is developer driven. The primary challenge for all types of housing is the source of financing. Money to buy land, money to build homes, money to maintain them are the issues. They are particular acute for workforce and other affordable housing that has historically relied on some level of private subsidies and governmental financing that is becoming scarcer and harder to obtain.. Future developers are partners in the provision of all types and costs of housing. Travertine Point commits to providing a menu of methods to comply with affordable housing requirement which will result in units for all economic segments of the community. A Housing Improvement Program (HIP) will be submitted for approval with the first increment of development and updated with subsequent development increments. Some suggested methods to provide for affordable housing could include any one or a combination of, and not limited to, the following: 1. Tax credits are available from both federal and state programs, are subject to regular reauthorization by federal and state government, and are of variable value subject to market trends. 2. Inclusionary Housing: this program generally encourages the development of the affordable units concurrent with market rate units and has been most successful with moderate range single family, attached-single family, garden or zero-lot-line, or condominium projects. Inclusionary housing requirements can provide both actual for sale or rental units and in-lieu funds and both sources should be a part of a successful housing plan. A significant component of the inclusionary requirement is an incentive program that will entice developers to participate willingly. Some of the more popular incentives are density bonuses, waiver of zoning or site requirements, local tax abatements, waiver or deferral of permit fees, fast-track permitting, and subsidization of infrastructure by the jurisdiction using some other source of income. 3. Accessory Dwelling Units: For parcels large enough to accommodate an accessory dwelling unit, or residential unit over a detached garage, these “Granny Flats” may be counted as affordable units. They provide second residences, either for sale or rent, and can attract people from diverse age and provides for an affordable residence for lower income groups. In order to receive credit as an affordable unit, the accessory unit must be defined as a complete legal dwelling according to building codes. 4. Live/Work Units: for development projects that propose live-work units, a small business space on the ground floor subsequent spaces containing the residential living space. These types of units may be counted as affordable units in that employees on site provide obvious economic and environmental benefits. 5. Payments in-lieu-of for housing developers: this program generally allows a developer to contribute to a housing trust fund or other banking vehicle in-lieu-of actual construction of the units. Payments may be based on percentages rather than specific dollar amounts. This program is only successful if the contribution is generally equal to the actual development of the required number of units. It has the advantage that funds from several projects may actually be sufficient to meet the “gap” in the development of an affordable housing community. The actual entities that will collect, invest, and allocate the in-lieu funds will have to be determined by implementation of a Housing Improvement Program (HIP). 6. Fund contributions: Impose housing fund contributions on all development, not just housing development. Affordable housing is the responsibility of all development in the community. All segments of the retail, commercial, industrial, professional, and governmental industries need 4-6 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN employees at every level of the pay scale. The number of units or amount of fee should be dictated by square footage and unit count and should be adjusted on a regular basis to respond to market issues. 7. Employee housing: if an employer delivers employee housing within five miles of the jobsite, these dwellings will receive double the amount of affordable credit towards the affordable housing requirements. The benefits of workers not commuting and generating costs and environmental impacts is rewarded with this double credit. These dwellings can be provided in any form accommodating plumbed, overnight accommodations, including apartments, bunk houses, group quarters, etc. Sources of Affordable Housing Funding One of the most effective incentives is local jurisdiction cooperation which could result in funding applications either supported by or submitted by local governments. Some of the funding sources listed in Table 4-1, Potential Affordable Housing Programs, will most assuredly change over the next year. Some will morph into complimentary programs, some will disappear, and others will receive decreased – or increased funding. However, both the state and federal governmental housing agencies are exploring permanent sources of financing and Travertine Point must position itself to take advantage of them. In addition, there may be housing trust funds, adjacent jurisdiction assistance, regional funding, and in-fill development assistance.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The anticipated development phasing of the project is contemplated to occur in five phases. Phasing will occur generally from north to south and east to west. Due to the complexity of flood control design, portions of the project in future phases will require grading and flood control construction as part of the initial project phase. (See Section 4.9, Phasing, for more detail on phasing of infrastructure). The land use types, densities, and acreage allocations have been based on the recommendations of The Concord Group’s market research report as prepared in July 2007 and amended in January 2009. The only exception being the “research and development” land use envisioned by the applicant and included in the Specific Plan as an element in the Mixed Use category. The Concord Group’s analysis and recommendations did not find this use historically in the valley. The applicant believes that the advent of the “green” building movement, alternative energy, and the restoration of the Salton Sea will create the demand for such uses. Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan, illustrates the land use designations that respond to the region’s anticipated future growth. Land use categories correspond to the County of Riverside’s General Plan land use designations and are referenced throughout this chapter. Table 4-2a, Statistical Summary of Proposed Land Uses, reflects the statistical breakdown of land use designations for the Specific Plan area based on sovereign (Torres Martinez), and jurisdictional Riverside and Imperial County boundaries, Tables 4-2b and 4-2c. 4-8 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.1.2 Land Use Designations The Travertine Point Specific Plan proposes Residential, Non-Residential, and Open Space land use designations. Land uses for school sites, parks, reservoirs, candidate areas for active adult communities, and certain public service and public infrastructure facilities are designated as an “Overlay” to promote flexibility in site/facility location. The Overlay locations of proposed schools, parks, reservoirs, candidate areas for active adult communities, and public service facilities and public infrastructure facilities are general and preliminary in nature and subject to change pending development programs and final engineering. These areas are intended only to illustrate allowable land use, character, and intent of the land use concept, for the Specific Plan. Final locations, sizes, and configurations of schools, parks and reservoirs, and public service and infrastructure facilities will be determined during the subdivision mapping and final engineering process, and, in consultation with the appropriate public agencies. In preparation of this Specific Plan, the Torres Martinez Tribe collaborated with the applicant and approved the currently proposed land uses for their Tribal Lands within the Specific Plan area. The land use designations identified on the Torres Martinez tribal property are recommendations to guide their entitlements for future development, however, the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, (TMDCI), being a sovereign nation, maintains ultimate land use jurisdiction over properties within reservation boundaries, regardless of the ownership of such properties. The Travertine Point Specific Plan represents the best practices in master planning for a homogeneous geographic area. The boundaries of the plan are logically related to planning for economic development, circulation, hard and soft infrastructure, sustainable principles, and landowner cooperation. The Torres Martinez tribe has been a willing participant in the process and fully supports the Specific Plan and all of its implementation requirements. Although it is recognized that the County does not have full jurisdiction over Tribal lands, the Tribe intends to manage its land within the intent of the Specific Plan and will proceed to adopt the Specific Plan principles into their official Tribal General Plan as regulated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The monitored development within the Specific Plan area will ensure that certain development threshold levels, as presented in Section 4.16, Project Administration, will be met before additional or continued development is permitted on any non-tribal lands. 4-16 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The Land Use Plan’s designations are described as follows: 1. Residential Residential housing is planned to be predominantly single family in character, but may include compact residential lots, attached homes, condominiums, multi-family – for-sale and rental units, and an opportunity for active adult neighborhoods. A more prestigious residential neighborhood is planned to be designed with homes integrated with a membership golf course planned for a southeast portion of Imperial County. In order to provide residential design flexibility, and to accommodate more sustainable compact development, a residential project may be under or exceed the target density range of the land use designation. Final development densities permitted shall be determined through the appropriate development application review up to the designated Travertine Point Specific Plan maximum density (12,300 dwelling units) and the transfer of dwelling units are subject to the Section 4.16.6, Adjustment and Transfer provisions. Final development densities permitted will be based upon, but not limited to, the following: a. Adequate availability of services; b. Adequate access and circulation; c. Sensitivity to land forms; d. Innovation in housing types, design and conservation practices; and/or e. Sensitivity to neighborhood design through appropriate lot and street layouts. The residential areas are characterized by five density categories, consistent with Riverside County General Plan land use designations. Residential development target density ranges are described as follows: a. Medium Density Residential Land Use (MDR) Medium Density Residential areas will allow development within 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. b. Medium High Density Residential Land Use (MHDR) Medium High Density Residential areas will allow development within 5 to 8 dwelling units per acre. c. High Density Residential Land Use (HDR) High Density Residential areas will allow development within 8 to 14 dwelling units per acre. d. Very High Density Residential Land Use (VHDR) Very High Density Residential areas will allow development within 14 to 20 dwelling units per acre. e. Highest Density Residential Land Use (HHDR) Highest Density Residential areas will allow development greater than 20 dwelling units per acre. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-17 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 2. Non-Residential The land use plan locates the major retail and resort-tourist commercial, mixed use, and business park land uses adjacent to SR-86S and its interchange to maximize freeway accessibility and visibility. Four neighborhood commercial sites are strategically located for convenient accessibility to residential neighborhoods. A resort-tourist commercial site along the Salton Sea shoreline will feature a marina, subject to the successful restoration of the sea. See Chapter 3, Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance for details regarding permitted uses. a. Commercial Retail (Local) CR (L) Neighborhood retail centers will provide for the day-to-day grocery store type of shopping needs and services of the residents. Commercial Retail (Local) development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). b. Commercial Retail (Regional) CR (R) A regional retail center area will take advantage of the proposed SR-86S interchange and will allow for a variety of uses, including major retail, professional offices, civic and institutional uses, as well as other visitor-serving uses such as tourist commercial. Commercial Retail (Regional) development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). c. Mixed Use Non-Residential (MU-1) Mixed Use areas will allow for a variety of uses, including retail, offices, institutional uses, as well as other visitor-serving uses. Emphasis is placed on non-residential land use combinations. Mixed Use Non-Residential development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). d. Mixed Use Residential (MU-2) Mixed Use areas (MU-2) will allow for a variety of uses, including retail, offices, institutional uses, other visitor-serving uses, as well as multi-family residential. Mixed Use Non-Residential development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). e. Business Park (BP) An employment-based business park will allow for office, light industrial and light manufacturing uses. Business Park (BP) development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). f. Commercial Tourist (CT) The resort area is slated for a hotel, spa, and possible casino, an upscale RV park, and golf. A marina is proposed at the southeast portion of the Specific Plan area. In addition to boat docks, slips and marine services, the marina area will also provide retail shops, restaurants, and possibly lodging. Commercial Tourist (CT) development density range is targeted to be 0.20 to 0.35 (FAR). 4-18 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 3. Open Space The Open Space land use designation is planned to allow for a variety of land uses including: a. Open Space (Drainage) and Open Space (Salton Sea) (OS-W) These Open Space areas will function as part of the storm water drainage and storm water detention areas and the Salton Sea water body. The drainage ways may also contain bicycle and hiking trails, and recreational park areas. The naturally revegetated channels will also serve to provide natural habitat and provide corridors for wildlife movement between the Salton Sea and the Santa Rosa slopes and other conservation areas to the west. i. Drainage Channels The linear drainage corridors accommodate on-site storm water drainage system and provide opportunity for naturally landscaped, off-road additions to the bicycle and hiking trails network as well as the potential for other active and passive park uses such as pocket parks, ball fields and play grounds, etc. ii. Salton Sea and Shore Line The designation for the Salton Sea is to accommodate the shoreline and natural marine life. It is also anticipated to respect the shoreline of the Salton Sea Authority and its role in protecting the conservation of the Salton Sea. This area is currently below the existing water level of the Salton Sea. Some portion of this land use designation will be developed with boating facilities such as docks and slips in conjunction with the proposed marina, subject to the successful restoration of the sea. b. Open Space – Conservation (OS-C) These areas will remain largely undeveloped. Some areas may be re-vegetated, restored, or enhanced to increase their habitat value. The Torres Martinez lands with sensitive artifacts may become a cultural preserve / living desert and possibly other culturally sensitive lands will be maintained or preserved in a similar manner. c. Open Space – Recreation (OS-R) i. Open Space Recreation Areas Open Space – Recreation areas are created to provide for outdoor recreation activities that are either passive or active or a combination of both. This includes natural trail parks, conservation areas, playgrounds, parks, sports facilities, equestrian facilities, campgrounds and other similar uses and activities. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-19 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN ii. Golf Course / Residential An Open Space / Residential area in the southern portion of the Specific Plan area within Imperial County is envisioned as an upscale residential community on a ‘resort–style’ golf course. 4. Public Facilities a. Public Facility (PF) (P) (with Park Overlay) Riverside County owns two parcels that comprise a total of 166.6 acres. The larger parcel, some 161 acres, lies west of Lincoln and includes a county landfill operation which is concentrated in the northerly half. Currently, the Oasis landfill disposal area occupies a 23.3 acre footprint. The 161-acre parcel is designated as Public Facility land use. This site located west of the Commercial Retail (Regional) planning area and is envisioned as a possible future Regional Park site with amenities such as sports fields, ball courts and other related facilities, some of which is dependent upon closure of the landfill disposal facility. The landfill operation was started several decades ago and in late 2007 was re-opened, two days a week, after having been limited to two days of operation per year for the past several years. The Specific Plan recognizes the Oasis Landfill as an existing, non-conforming interim use. The Specific Plan also allows for open space uses, parks, and recreation uses within the area of the PF designated area outside of the landfill disposal footprint during the operation life of the landfill, subject to approval of the Riverside County Waste Management Department (RCWMD). During this interim period, and prior to closure of the site, no habitable development will be permitted within 1,000 feet of the 161 acre area or as required by the County. The landfill will be closed in place in accordance with the requirements of RCWMD. The site will be capped in place using on-site native materials then re-graded using native soils, The closure occurs in strict accordance with the RCWMD closure plan and will be further analyzed at the time of closure to allow for the proposed regional park uses planned for the site. The closure process will ensure the restoration of the project site in order to eliminate environmental constraints on future adjacent development and allow for recreational uses on the site. All other mitigation measures identified by Environmental Impact Report No. 514 will also be implemented prior to development as determined applicable. After closure of the facility, the site is planned to be developed as a regional park emphasizing a variety of amenities that will serve to provide recreation, education, habitat cultural and entertainment needs. (See Section 4.5, Open Space and Recreation for additional detail). This site includes the park overlay in order to provide for the future park land use. Ancillary structures may be permitted in support of this public facility park use. Other adjacent development may occur consistent with the closure of the landfill area. Other uses within the PF designated area are permitted as identified in Chapter 3, Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance, Table 3-1. 4-20 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 5. Overlays – Schools, Parks, Reservoirs, and Candidate Active Adult Community areas a. Schools (S) Several elementary schools, a middle school, and high school are anticipated to be planned and located to serve the needs of the community. It is the intent of the Land Use Plan and the Open Space and Parks Plan to have all schools conveniently located within a short walking distance to residential neighborhoods and accessible by the extensive network of trails within the community. However, school facilities will be determined by the number of homes built and the number of new students generated by the development and the actual number, exact location and configuration of the school sites, will be determined in collaboration with the Coachella Valley Unified School District and may be modified as subdivision maps are planned and processed. b. Parks (P) Parks and private recreation facilities will be developed in conjunction with some residential developments. These park sites have been identified as an overlay land use in order to provide flexibility for the number, size and location of these recreational amenities. These sites will be developed in conjunction with the processing of tentative subdivision maps related to the amount of residential units developed. It is the intent that a majority of residences will be within a quarter-mile, equivalent to about a five-minute walk, from a local park, school, or private recreation facility. Guidelines and standards for parks are set forth in Section 4.5, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. c. Reservoirs (R) Open water reservoirs will be designed as multi-functional facilities for irrigation and fire suppression water storage, storm water detention, water quality treatment and, possible ground water re-charge. They will also provide opportunities for recreational uses such as non- motorized boating, sailing, kayaking, and fishing; and provide open space visual amenities for residential neighborhoods. Body contact with the water will be prohibited. Guidelines and standards for open water reservoirs are set forth in Section 4.5, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space. The Specific Plan has identified possible sites for these facilities; however their ultimate location, size, and design will be determined in coordination with CVWD. d. Active Adult Overlay (A) Active adult communities offer homes and amenities in a resort style community. They are generally age restricted, gated communities, that provide diverse recreational opportunities and amenities such as golf, tennis, pool, clubhouse, and fitness facilities. An Active Adult community is typically located in areas of over 400 acres. Travertine Point has planned for the opportunity of approximately a third of the Specific Plan’s residential units to be active adult. The active adult overlay, as shown on Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan, identifies candidate areas where active adult communities may be located. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-21 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN e. Other Public Facilities (*) Public safety and emergency services (police, fire, EMT) will be accommodated in the planning for Travertine Point in collaboration with the responsible agencies. Civic uses and community facilities (libraries, museums, performing arts, government centers, courts, etc.) will be allowed uses in the Town Center as well as throughout the Specific Plan area where necessary in consultation with the appropriate public agencies. A public community facilities financing program is important to the implementation of Travertine Point. The development of public facilities and the provision of public services associated with the Specific Plan area could occur through a combination of several financing mechanisms. The financing program will assure the timely financing and construction of public streets, utilities, and other necessary capital improvements in pace with the development of the Specific Plan. The exact financing method for various improvements will be determined in conjunction with the phasing of the infrastructure, or other public service or facility needs, as determined necessary or applicable to the type of development. Some of the possible funding mechanisms for public community facilities and improvements are identified in Table 4-3, Community Facilities and Funding Sources. 6. Overlays – Public Infrastructure a. Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) A waste water treatment plant will be necessary to serve the Travertine Point area and nearby properties. The permanent facility is planned to be located in District 3 in the northeast corner of PA 3-6. The initial phases of development may be served by a modular package treatment plant to be sited in the same location. The initial phases of the project will be served by a temporary modular wastewater package treatment plant that will be capable of handling approximately 5,000 residential units. That facility is proposed to be located in the northeast portion of Planning Area 3-6, bordered by open space to the east (PA 3-18). An open space buffer, a minimum of 150 feet in width, will be maintained between the plant site and any residential development located to the north, west, or south. The physical plant facilities will be screened by landscaping. The buffer and landscape screening will remain as long as this plant is in operation. The temporary package treatment plant will be dismantled and removed from this location when the permanent CVWD regional wastewater treatment plant is operational and capable of serving the development. The Specific Plan has identified two possible sites for this permanent facility; however its ultimate location, size, and design will be determined under a separate project CVWD public works application and environmental review. b. Infrastructure Service Structures (WT/BPS) (ES) Travertine Point will need infrastructure systems to be in place prior to development. These systems may include pump stations, lift stations, enclosed potable water storage tanks and similar for water distribution and waste water management. Other systems may include natural gas facilities, electrical substations, communications facilities, and similar utilities. 4-22 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.2 SPECIFIC PLAN DISTRICTS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The Travertine Point Specific Plan addresses a very large area, some 4,900 acres, and includes more than 75 individual Planning Areas. Four Specific Plan Districts are identified to group planning areas into more manageable and comprehendible geographic areas. Districts 1 through 4 are identified on Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan. Each District Map identifies the Land Use designation for each planning area along with regulatory development standards and imagery. Development standards identified in the Specific Plan District exhibits supersede the County’s development standards, unless otherwise stated. Exhibit 4-1a - District 1 Development Standards, Exhibit 4-2a - District 2 Development Standards, Exhibit 4-3a - District 3 Development Standards, Exhibit 4-4a - District 4 Development Standards, and Chapter 3, Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance elaborate upon the allowed development standards and permitted uses within the Specific Plan. In addition to the development standards set forth in this section, all development in any District of the Travertine Point community is subject to the guidelines of this Specific Plan. These guidelines are found in the following sections: •Section 4.11 – Sustainable Principles •Section 4.12 – Design Guidelines •Section 4.13 – Landscape Design Guidelines •Section 4.14 – Community Design Elements •Section 4.15 – Architectural Design Guidelines The Torres Martinez Tribal properties are planned to be consistent with the Specific Plan and the Riverside County land use and zone designations as identified. The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, (TMDCI) being a sovereign nation, maintains land use jurisdiction over properties within reservation boundaries that are in Trust lands or allotee lands. The proposed land use designations on Torres Martinez Tribal lands, although outside of County jurisdictional control, are recommended and Tribal-approved land uses to sustain long-term tribal development plans. Ultimate land use decisions for the Torres Martinez Tribal lands are to be made by the Tribe, with technical assistance from Riverside and Imperial Counties. The four Districts are further described and illustrated in the following pages to provide development standards and imagery that will guide the ultimate build out of the Specific Plan. The development standards specifically listed herein supersede existing Riverside County and Imperial County codes. These standards provide a concise structure that will regulate development within the Specific Plan. Overall sustainable development practices are embraced throughout all Districts. The future of the Specific Plan relies on flexible standards and guidelines for market adjustments and technological advancements. The clustering of residential units to reduce infrastructure and transportation system costs assist in making the community more sustainable. Opportunities exist for alternative energy, transportation, and conservation systems with land uses based on sustainable development practices. Strategically planning residential neighborhoods and linking pedestrian trails to employment and business centers assist in reducing energy impacts from vehicular movement throughout the Specific Plan. 4-26 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Future residential technological developments are anticipated and provided for. New and innovative housing products will not only accommodate affordable and workforce housing and active adult neighborhoods, but will also lead to products and methods not yet standardized, such as modular construction practices, and alternative materials applications. The Development Standards that follow encourage these progressive, technology-driven future development practices. 4.2.1 District 1 District 1 is the northwest portion of the Specific Plan area.

TORRES MARTINEZ (TMDCI) Torres Martinez Tribal Land Recommendations It is anticipated that the tribal lands within th e specific plan area shall follow these development standards, subject to TMDCI approval. Torres Martinez tribal lands with Mixed Use or Commercial Retail (Regional) designation may have residential component within land use designation that total 450 dwellings. Gaming facilities are permitted. AGRICULTURAL BUFFERS As land within the Travertine Point Specific Plan is converted from agricultural use to the urban development consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations the issue of compatibility of uses and users must be addressed.

MIXED USE Mixed Use may occur horizon tally or vertically. Live/work occupancies are permitted with minimum 250 square feet for ground level non-residential tenant space. Accessory uses or structures such as roof top gard ens and patios are permitted 10’ beyond the height of 40 feet adjacent to MDR land use designation or the maximum height of 75 feet. For example a rooftop outdoor fireplace may have a chimney that exceeds th e height by 10 feet or per fire code. Parking Structures Parking structures without ground floor uses shal l be screened from public view at ground level. Parking structure facades should simulate nearby building architectural elements. TORRES MARTINEZ (TMDCI) Torres Martinez Tribal Land Recommendations It is anticipated that the tribal lands within th e specific plan area shall follow these development standards, subject to TMDCI approval. Torres Martinez tribal lands with Mixed Use or Commercial Retail (Regional) designation may have residential component within land use designation that total 450 dwellings. Gaming facilities are permitted. AGRICULTURAL BUFFERS As land within the Travertine Point Specific Plan is converted from agricultural use to the urban development consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations the issue of compatibility of uses and users must be addressed. See Chapter 4.15, Project Administration for more detail. 4- 7 8 T ra v e r t i n e P o i n t S p e c i f i c P l a n N o . 3 7 5 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.do c 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.3 POPULATION/DEMOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES This land plan was influenced by population and employment assumptions and future projections based on available data from several sources, including Riverside County. The Land Use Plan responds to the diversity identified by the demographics analyzed for this Specific Plan. The well planned Land Use Plan takes into account these influences as well as economic and transportation needs as reflected in the traffic impact analysis and economic analysis prepared for the Environmental Impact Report. Travertine Point is influenced by the growth trends between 2000 and 2007. Much has occurred during this period with housing construction rapidly expanding and commercial development following. Reflecting nearby community and county demographics the Travertine Point Specific Plan is based on the following assumptions regarding population and employment statistics, as tabulated in Table 4-4, Population Per Household Projections, and Table 4-7, Employment Projection Assumptions (Refer to Population and Employment Projections for Travertine Point in Riverside and Imperial Counties, California, The Concord Group, February 27, 2008). 4.3.1 Household and Student Projections Based on household population and trends, the land use plan anticipates household sizes ranging from 1.6 to 4.0 residents, with an anticipated population of 28,284. Household size is varied pending land use designations and is further qualified based on assumed housing stock as identified in Table 4-4, Population Per Household Projections within Travertine Point. It is anticipated that at build-out the household size and population will generate approximately 5,977 students distributed in the following approximations; Elementary school: 3,523 students, Middle school: 896 students; High school: 1,558 students. This is based on Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) student generation rates and the total number of dwelling units and the respective anticipated occupancy. Refer to Table 4-4, Student Generation Projections. 4-86 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.3.2 Employment Projection Based on assumed floor area ratios, building square footage, and land use, the Specific Plan anticipates an employment base of approximately 9,472. The anticipated job to housing ratio is 0.77 jobs per dwelling (refer to Table 4-7, Employment Projection Assumptions). This jobs-to-housing ratio is less than the ideal of 1.22 jobs for each housing unit, but it does substantiate that the plan provides significant opportunity for residents to live in close proximity to a place of employment within Travertine Point. This provides work/live benefits in furtherance of a sustainable community and promotes the strategy for residents and businesses to reduce travel trips, vehicle miles traveled, commuting time, and take advantage of alternative travel modes. The estimated amount of non-residential square footage to be built and occupied per Development Phase in conjunction with residential development will be required in order to provide a reasonable amount of new jobs that will be generated within the Specific Plan area. As the community grows, residential development inventory builds a supply that accommodates employment land use needs and will attract commercial development and services that supports resident’s needs. Delivery of employment development square footage will start slower in earlier phases and will accelerate during later phases. The estimated amount of job creating non-residential development may occur within any phase and at any time as long as it meets the minimum residential development thresholds being built within the community. Table 4-6, Required Non-Residential Square Footage and Estimated Job Generation, outlines the Specific Plans required amount of job generating, non-residential square footage to be built and occupied, per phase. As an example, prior to the issuance of building permit for the 2,422 residential unit 27,225 s.f. of non-residential development is required to be built and occupied. (See also Chapter 4.16, Project Administration for implementation measures.)

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.4 CIRCULATION PLAN 4.4.1 Circulation Plan Description The Travertine Point Specific Plan proposes a circulation system consisting of roads, bikeways, trails, and pedestrian pathways that will meet the transportation needs of the community. The circulation design is a derivation of the arterial/collector hierarchal system that provides an efficient internal network of arterial roadways, collector streets, and local streets, however, it has been designed in a partly curvilinear fashion to enhance the neighborhood feel and establish a strong aesthetic quality to development. It establishes a design hierarchy where local roads serving the individual neighborhoods feed into collector roads, arterials, and finally, SR-86S which serves not only the project area, but the entire region. This system is depicted on Exhibit 4-5, Circulation Plan. Where practical, 35 miles per hour speed limits are proposed for collector and local streets to permit the use of clean and green Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV’s) in lieu of conventional automobiles. 4.4.2 Existing Conditions Regional access to Travertine Point is provided by SR-86S. The nearest cross street is 81st Avenue to the north and 86th Avenue to the South. Several unimproved farm roads outline the existing properties throughout the Specific Plan area, mainly to access crop and agricultural production facilities. 4.4.3 Proposed Circulation System Development Standards The proposed Circulation System relies upon Highway SR-86S, a limited-access facility for regional access. The center of the Specific Plan area is accessed via a proposed grade-separated SR-86S interchange that conveys traffic into the core of the Specific Plan area, including the Town Center. A system of arterials and collectors distribute vehicular traffic from the future interchange throughout the community. Roundabouts are proposed at key intersections to reduce congestion, reduce speed, improve air quality, and reduce the severity of accidents. The Travertine Point network has been planned to provide an alternate to Highway SR86-S for local traffic traveling north-south. Two grade-separated overpasses are proposed connecting the east and west districts. The proposed Roadway System is categorized below and shall be constructed pursuant to the street cross sections shown in Exhibits 4-6a and 4-6b, Street Sections. An example roundabout is illustrated on Exhibit 4-7, Conceptual Roundabout. 1. Urban Arterial Highway (Riverside County) (152' R/W) is planned to be 6 lanes divided with a 14 foot curb median. 2. Arterial Highway (Riverside County) (128’ R/W) is planned to be 4 lanes divided with an 18-foot curb median. 3. Augmented Major Highway (Riverside County) (118’ – 125’ R/W) is planned to be 4 lanes divided with a 12-foot painted median or 14’ curbed median. 4. Secondary Highway (Riverside County) (100’ R/W) is planned for 4 lanes undivided. 5. Augmented Major Collector (Imperial County) (98’ R/W) is planned to be 4 lanes undivided. 6. Augmented Divided Collector (Riverside County) (78’ - 105 R/W) is planned for 2 lanes divided with a 12 foot painted median or 14’ curbed median. 7. Collector (Riverside County) (74’ R/W) is planned for 2 lanes undivided. 4-92 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 8. Minor Collector (Imperial County) (74’ R/W) is planned for 2 lanes undivided. 9. Local and private street widths are less than 78’ in width and are subject to design review. Access to individual neighborhoods is provided by a system of proposed Local Roads (56' R/W) typical. Private streets, drives, and alleys may be designed less than 56’ R/W in small lot, cluster type housing, and attached housing products, subject to Fire Safety approval. 10. Roadway construction will be coordinated with the respective jurisdictional agencies to ensure that effective circulation routes are properly implemented and that emergency access is provided. 11. Roadway dedication shall be made as part of the land division, subject to review and approval by County’s Transportation Department. 12. All-weather access shall be provided to all developed areas. 13. The design of street intersections shall consider safe passage of through traffic and the negotiation of vehicular turning maneuvers. 14. Each subdivision shall comply with the on-site street improvement recommendations/mitigation as described in the Travertine Point Traffic Study, and incorporated into the project Addendum EIR and appendices. 15. A fair share contribution for off-site circulation improvements shall be required as indicated in the Travertine Point Traffic Study and EIR. 16. Mitigation measures pertaining to noise hazards and levels of service as described in the traffic analysis shall be implemented as required. 17. Major backbone roadways may be financed through an assessment district or similar financing mechanisms. Many of the infrastructure improvements addressed by the EIR may be financed through the issuance of bonds by Community Facilities District (CFD) pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code Section 53311, et. seq.). 18. The project shall comply with the conditions and requirements as set forth by the County’s transportation department. 19. Where appropriate for efficient and safe vehicular movement, circulation connections to adjacent planning areas within the Specific Plan will be permitted. Access points between planning areas will be determined at the time of tentative tract map approval, subject to the approval of the County’s Transportation Department. 20. Each area of the Specific Plan that is developed independent of other areas must provide both primary and secondary access to the satisfaction of the County, including interim access through planning areas where improvements have not yet been completed. 21. During the review of implementing development applications, the applicant shall consult with SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) staff to provide certain transit-friendly amenities in selected portions of the overall Specific Plan area. 22. Prior to Sunline’s provision of transit service, the Developer shall provide some form of interim alternative transportation service based on service needs or demand. The Developer shall provide information to residents about the service as well as information on other mobility opportunities such as walking and bicycling trails, NEV use, or other public transportation to encourage less automobile use. 23. The Developer and future builders shall continue to coordinate with Sunline to ensure that bus service and improvements to transit services are incorporated into the proposed development as ridership thresholds are generated. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-93 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 24. The Developer and future builders shall refine the Specific Plan’s Mobility plan in coordination with Sunline for routing transit service throughout the development and redefine transit service options that may be offered to future residents and employees as it becomes available and/or needed. 25. The Developer shall continue to coordinate with Sunline on defining transit nodes that may be located within the Specific Plan as well as determine where these transit amenities should be placed for future transit riders. Coordination with Sunline shall ensure these amenities are constructed and installed along future transit routes to meet Sunline’s standards in addition to meeting federal, state and local regulations. 26. The Developer shall coordinate with Sunline and the County to explore potential funding sources for future transit service for the proposed project, such as, working with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to investigate the possibility of using a portion of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) collected to create a private/public funding source, or investigate the creation of a Transportation Management Association where fees are collected for the implementation of transit service for the project. 4.4.4 Mobility Plan The Specific Plan provides a mobility plan that links roadways, trails, and future mass transit stops in an effort to reduce vehicle miles traveled within the valley and to effectively create a live/work environment where residents may use alternative travel modes. Exhibit 4-8a, Mobility Plan-Transit Routing, identifies transit features such as future fixed route bus and local shuttle routes, bus turnout locations, and potential transit node location. Transit stops are planned at key backbone intersections, trail junctions, and land uses that to encourage opportunity for transit to consolidated population centers. Quarter and half mile radiuses are shown to illustrate where residents could walk or bicycle within relatively short time frames to access the region’s transit system. Exhibit 4-8b, Mobility Plan-Bikeways, identifies the proposed Class I (off-street) bike trails and Class II (on-street) bike lanes. Exhibit 4-8c, Mobility Plan-Walkways and Pedestrian Paths, illustrates the locations of sidewalks, trails, and proposed pedestrian pathways for pedestrian circulation and access throughout the project. Exhibit 4-8d, Mobility Plan-Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) Accommodations, identifies the proposed NEV routes that are incorporated with Class II – NEV / bike lanes (on-street) and Class III, NEV routes, that are shared use, on-street. As mentioned earlier, current regulations require that 35 miles per hour speed limits are proposed for collector and local streets to permit the use of these NEV routes. It is anticipated that, ultimately, transit technology will include alternative fueled express buses, and even NEV/car sharing programs in addition to car- or van-pool programs that all contribute to the reduction of conventional automobile use and increases project sustainability. The Mobility Plan does not eliminate the opportunity for multiple transit programs that encourage ride sharing, electric vehicles and similar vehicles. Active Adult communities and business centers may have shuttle programs or even a circulator within the community. The extensive trail system is planned to a majority of the planning areas to the Town Center and public facilities such as a school so that children may have safer travel routes. See also Section 4.5.5, Trails Network for additional information and development standards. A successfully implemented mobility plan will assist in reducing air pollution and green house gases within the valley. 4-94 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.5 PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACE In addition to efficiency, another fundamental objective of sustainable development is accessibility. In the case of the Travertine Point Specific Plan, the accessibility of community and neighborhood parks, public facilities (regional park), open space, and trails is a driving force in the design of the community. Inspired by this basic planning principle of sustainable development and in the interest of creating a sustainable open space system, the Travertine Point Specific Plan incorporates a bicycle and trails network connecting parks, public facilities and the three major open space land use designations in addition to utilizing naturalized drainage corridors and access to the Salton Sea shoreline. The Open Space land use designations include areas for drainages, habitat and resource management. They also provide opportunities for a variety of recreation features, all accessible by a planned hiking and biking trails network, and are discussed below. 4.5.1 Public Facility (PF) (P) Regional Park Currently, the Oasis Landfill occupies the northeastern portion of the approximately 161-acre area and is land use designated as a Public Facility, with a parks overlay.. As the facility is reclaimed, a Regional Park site is designated and planned to provide for the future active recreational needs of the Travertine Point residents. The Developer will coordinate with the Riverside County Waste Management District for closure of the landfill, and is anticipated to commence in Development Phase IV. The 161-acre Regional Park site is planned to provide for the principle regional recreational needs of the Travertine Point residents. The regional park will serve recreation, education, habitat, cultural, and entertainment needs. The site improvements will be phased over time to match the demand created by Travertine Point residents and the full and safe closure of the landfill. A regional park is tasked with providing destination recreation services not provided by the community parks or neighborhood parks dispersed around the area. The regional park will likely benefit from a variety of funding sources due to its large service area and extent of its stakeholder base. There is also a trend in governing such facilities, which embraces vendor and corporate America sponsorships to offset construction and maintenance costs. Regional parks can also affectively serve special events as a venue with ample parking, services, and buffering from adjacent sensitive land uses. Facilities will be sized and delivered based on actual demand and management priorities. Actual uses may vary from the following list, however these types of uses would all be considered allowable under the Public Facilities designation and in accordance with the SP Zoning. Once improved, the 161-acre Regional Park site will serve the Travertine Point Specific Plan area, and will be creditable towards satisfying almost double the amount of required park and recreation acreage. (See also Section 4.5.4 Overlays, 1. Park Facilities below for details regarding compliance with 5 acres/1,000 population park requirements). 4-112 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The Regional Park concept contains themed areas with the following potential uses: Activity Center – The Activity Center area is themed to provide the commercial recreation types of uses including potential uses such as, youth clubs like the YMCA, worship centers, and public safety. A play train area with miniature railroad ride, donated historical rail cars, rail road club house or outdoor model railroading club and exhibit. Grounds for a farmers market could be provided, with plug-ins, and the areas main parking area. Green-Field Play – The Green-Field Play area contains the sports park facilities with multi-purpose open fields, baseball center, soccer park, and / or sponsored tournament grounds. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-113 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Sponsored Uses – The Sponsored Uses area could accommodate a Kids Camp with overnight camping, creative play area with climbing walls and trees. A Discover Park could contain uses such as Mojave and / or Anza Borrego Desert and Coachella Valley native plants garden, a living desert, historical exhibits, Native American storytelling and a wildlife interpretive center. This area could also accommodate an agricultural education park with crop demonstration areas, activity barn, 4H/FFA clubhouse, and community gardens. Also within this themed area, an equestrian center with riding ring and trails, paddocks and / or rodeo grounds are potential uses. Restoration and Passive Recreation - This area contains habitat restoration and passive recreation that could potentially support uses like group picnic area with shade structures. Natures Way – Natures Way areas borders the northern and southern portion of the regional park. These areas contain the mixed use greenways that provide trails along drainage areas that will be planted with natural habitat. A Green Center is a potential use with clean waste recycling, demonstration exhibits and green waste composting. A Riparian Canyon area could feature recreational ponds and oasis plantings. 4.5.2 Open Space (OS) (W) (Water) Open Space areas will function as part of the storm water drainage, and storm water detention areas and may also serve as a component of a water quality treatment program. These facilities may also be utilized as additional recreational park areas and are included as part of the bicycle and hiking trails network. 1. Drainage Channels The linear drainage channels are planned to accommodate the on-site, storm water drainage system and provide opportunity for naturally landscaped corridors. These drainage corridors may also serve to incorporate additional off-road segments to the bicycle and hiking trails network. The drainage channels are planned to serve multiple functions; serve in flood control, serve in “water harvesting” and storm water treatment through de-silting; serve as recreational trail system, serve as native landscaped habitat, and serve as a visual amenity. The area’s storm water drainage facilities are anticipated to improve the quality of storm water runoff that flows into the Salton Sea as a “cleaner” source for de-salting the sea itself. The naturally revegetated channels will also serve to provide natural habitat and provide corridors for wildlife movement between the Salton Sea and the Santa Rosa slopes and other conservation areas to the west. The drainage channels will vary in width, approximately 100 feet to over 600 feet wide and may accommodate active and / or passive recreational uses. Where appropriate, park facilities will be located within the high flood water mark (100 year storm event) and may include active and passive park amenities such as play fields, tot lots, and picnic areas. These improved areas with public park facilities, along with the off-street bicycling and hiking trail improvements will be creditable towards satisfying the Specific Plan’s five acre per 1,000 population parks requirement. 4-114 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 2. Salton Sea The Salton Sea shoreline borders the eastern edge of the Travertine Point Specific Plan. Planning Area 4-14 provides for the opportunity of a small marina, potential for lodging and specialty retail. The restoration of the sea is vigorously being pursued by the Salton Sea Authority. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-115 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.5.3 Open Space (OS) (C) (Conservation) These areas will remain undisturbed or possibly enhanced to increase their habitat value. The area includes the Salton Sea Shoreline, and the extension of Travertine Point and the Santa Rosa Mountains, Planning Areas 2-17 to 2-20. The Salton Sea Shoreline should be a protected feature consistent with the Salton Sea Authority restoration plan as an environmental asset, wetland preservation, and recreation component to Travertine Point. The preservation of the mountains to the south is consistent with the Santa Rosa Mountain Conservancy policies as well as providing a transition to buffer the Anza Borrego State Park located in San Diego County. The Torres Martinez lands designated as OS-C may have culturally sensitive sites and/or artifacts and are planned to become a cultural preserve / living desert. Other culturally sensitive areas, such as the Travertine Pointe geologic feature, and any other areas identified by the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indian Tribe (TMDCI) will be maintained or preserved in a similar manner. 4.5.4 Overlays 1. Park Facilities Individual residential planning areas will also develop and provide community and neighborhood park sites, pocket parks and private recreation facilities to serve their respective residents, in addition to the Public Facility - Regional Park site. The community parks with ball fields, neighborhood parks and private recreation facilities will typically be developed in conjunction with residential developments. These park sites are permitted in any planning area and have been identified on Exhibit 4.0, Land Use Plan, as an overlay land use with the intent to provide general and approximate locations as well as provide for maximum flexibility for the number, size and location of these recreational amenities. All parks will be conveniently situated throughout each district within a convenient walking distance for all residents, as shown on Exhibit 4-9, Open Space and Parks Plan. The exhibit also shows that approximately one out of every four parks will provide sports fields. (See also Section 4.13.5, Parks/Recreation, for additional Landscape Guidelines.) 4-116 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.5.5 Park Development Standards 1. A ratio of approximately five acres of park is required to be provided per 1,000 residents. Utilizing this ratio, the buildout of 12,300 residential dwelling units will necessitate the need for approximately 141 acres of neighborhood park facilities. A minimum of5.7 acres of park facility is recommended to be developed in conjunction with the development of approximately every 500 residential dwelling units depending upon type of housing. 2. Parkland dedication, park facilities improvements, and / or payment of in-lieu park fees shall be phased with residential development and subject to tentative tract map conditions of approvals in accordance with Riverside County Municipal Code, Title 16, Subdivisions, Chapter 16.20, Dedications, and the Subdivision Map Act. Table 4-8, Park Acreage Requirements, provides a summary of the number of approximate park acreages to be generated based on the number of dwelling units and population projected by Development Phase at buildout. Notwithstanding the proposed phasing, park acreages required and park credits generated may occur within any phase and at any time dependent upon the timing and development of residential tracts.

Private Recreational Facilities Private recreational facilities such as playgrounds, tot lots, free play areas, passive areas, clubhouses, swimming pools, spas, multi-purpose courts, and/or golf are also anticipated. Additional private recreational facilities with any of these types of amenities may be located in any residential development or residential planning area neighborhood. Such private recreational facilities shall receive a park credit of 50% toward the minimum park requirement. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-119 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 3. Reservoirs The man-made reservoir system within Travertine Point will have three primary functions, including: serving as a primary drainage conveyance and peak attenuation and storage facility for the project’s off-site and on-site stormwater runoff; providing high level urban runoff water quality treatment and Best Management Practices (BMP) for the off-site and on-site stormwater runoff; and, providing aesthetic and recreational features for the community. Some residential neighborhoods will feature these planned water reservoirs as a visual, recreational, and open space amenity. They will also function as a natural cooling element, and provide recreational uses such as non-motorized boating and fishing, accessible to the entire community. Similar to the Park site overlay, these reservoir sites are permitted in any planning area and have been identified as an overlay land use in order to provide conceptual locations as well as maximum flexibility for the number, size and location. Reservoir sites may also be designed and located as an integral need for incorporating the planning areas storm water drainage system and may also serve as an important component of the system’s water quality treatment program. Refer to Section 4.11, Sustainable Principles in regards to sustainable guidelines for the proposed reservoirs. 4-120 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN a. Private residential lot frontage shall be allowed on any reservoir up to the designed high water elevation. The total of said frontage shall be limited to less than 50% of the total perimeter of the reservoir shoreline. b. Public and/or common area frontage shall be allowed on any reservoir. The total of said frontage shall be more than 50% of the total perimeter of the reservoir shoreline and shall be maintained for public access and use and be incorporated into part of the public trails network where applicable. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-121 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN c. Pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, and boat docks are permitted, subject to final design approval. d. The minimum width of any public or common area along the reservoir shoreline shall be 30 feet as measured from the designed high water elevation. e. Swimming and direct human body contact shall be prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the appropriate public resource agencies. This prohibition shall be included in the CC&Rs for the community and shall be properly noticed by signage along the publicly accessible portions of the reservoir shoreline. f. Detailed designs, construction plans, operations, and maintenance plans for any reservoir shall be approved by the appropriate public resource agencies prior to grading permits for the reservoir and prior to issuance of development permits for any adjacent residential area. 4-122 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.5.6 Trails Network The Travertine Point trails system promotes walk-ability through a comprehensive network of trails that extends to all areas of the community. Approximately fourteen miles of backbone trails network will follow the spine circulation system as well as the drainage corridors and open space areas that will connect neighborhoods, amenities, parks, schools, shopping, dining and service uses, and link the foothills to the Salton Sea. Residents may walk from home to neighborhood parks and schools as well as from one neighborhood to another via either a trail or sidewalk and will promote the Safe Routes to Schools program. This trail system will create walk-ability and encourage pedestrian and bicycle use, reduce automobile dependency, as well as provide healthful exercise and recreation benefits. Benches and other park uses may be located along the drainage channel trails or adjacent to lake amenities to provide rest stops, recreational spaces, and areas to enjoy a distant view. Shade structures and / or trees will also be installed at minimum 250 foot intervals along all trails to help cool the sidewalk or path and rest stops, to create a pleasant physical environment. The accessibility of parks, recreation facilities, open space, and trails is a key component of implementing sustainability in the design of the Travertine Point community. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-123 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN BACKBONE TRAIL NEIGHBORHOOD/PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS 4-124 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Trail connections are planned to extend to neighboring communities as outlined in Exhibit 4-8c, Mobility Plan – Trails and Pedestrian Pathways, and Exhibit 4-9, Open Space and Parks Plan. Examples of these are illustrated on Exhibit 4-10, Open Space, Parks, and Trails Images. Trail Development Standards: 1. Trails will be paved with concrete, asphalt, or pervious pavers within the more urban areas of the community, such as those trails that are parallel to roadways, shall be a minimum of five (5) feet wide and a minimum of ten (10) feet wide if it is a multi-purpose trail. 2. Trails within developments may be paved with concrete or asphalt, or may be of native soil, indigenous decomposed granite (DG), or similar type of material and be a minimum of five (5) feet wide. 3. Shade structures and or trees shall also be installed at a minimum of 250’ intervals along all trails to help cool the sidewalk or path and rest stops. 4. Trails that are located in the drainage washes may be paved with concrete or asphalt, or may be of native soil, indigenous decomposed granite (DG), or similar type of material and be a minimum of five (5) feet wide, or a minimum of ten (10) feet wide if it is a multi-purpose trail. These trails shall be developed in conjunction with the construction of the drainage channels. 5. Trails that provide approved access to Anza Borrego Desert State Park and/or the Santa Rosa Wilderness area will be constructed of native soil, indigenous decomposed granite (DG), or similar type of material. 6. Trail integrity throughout the Specific Plan area will be developed in conjunction with future projects. A master HOA shall maintain trail connections not directly related to infill subdivisions. 7. Future developers and builders will be required to provide for the integrity of the planned trail system by construction of feeder trails and linkages as appropriate in future projects. 8. Future developers and builders will be required to provide feeder trails and / or linkages to connect to drainage channel trails where applicable. 9. Residential development should provide feeder trails and / or pathways to provide easy access to school and / or park sites where applicable. 10. Future developers and builders will be required to provide shade structures and or trees along these trails as appropriate to help cool the trails or pathways, in accordance with an approved landscaped plan accompanying a subdivision map application review and approval. 11. An example of a trail transition into the Anza Borrego Desert State Park and/or the Santa Rosa Wilderness area depicts a non-fence, non-gated access control feature using the natural materials found on site that discourages motorized vehicle use. 12. Trail transitions along Travertine Point’s boundary should transition into the natural landscape or into future developments with consistency and continuity in material use and trail design. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-125 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.6 MASTER LANDSCAPE CONCEPT 4.6.1 Master Landscape Plan The intent of the Master Landscape Plan for Travertine Point is to ensure a cohesive, high quality aesthetic and recognizable landscape theme by providing an overall design direction for the community, bringing order and continuity to the street themes, and emphasizing a sense of place. (Refer to Exhibit 4.11, Landscape Master Plan, and Section 4.14.1, Streetscapes, for more detail.) The Master Landscape Plan establishes a community-wide themed landscape zones and development standards for the physical landscape design features that define the character, quality, and aesthetics of the Travertine Point Specific Plan. Travertine Point’s landscape zones and development standards also incorporates park and reservoir themes, that transition from a rural-type setting to an increasingly urban environment. This theme reflects the Specific Plan’s architecture, landscaping and community elements such as entry monuments, signs, walls, and fences, and lighting to ensure a unified comprehensive design. Design elements are provided and are addressed in further detail in Chapter 4-13, Landscape Design Guidelines. Sustainable development principles are incorporated into the land use plan and the design guidelines. Travertine Point will incorporate the following design features: 1. Pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods; a. Parkway separated sidewalks b. Traffic-calming measures on local streets c. Pedestrian access from cul-de-sacs d. Feeder trail and/or pedestrian pathway connections to the backbone trail system 2. Mixed-use residential and commercial in the Town Center; a. Encourage compact development and accommodate urban densities and lifestyles b. Promote opportunities for mass transit 3. Provide a variety of residential neighborhoods; a. Entry level housing b. Work force housing c. Move-up primary housing d. Active-adult neighborhoods e. Executive housing f. Single family detached, single family attached, and multiple family housing g. Seasonal housing 4-132 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4. Landscaping of open space to protect natural habitats and cultural resources; a. Use of native Mojave and / or Anza Borrego Desert and other California desert-friendly plants b. Use of open fencing to preserve views c. Fencing and access controls to protect resources 5. Connecting open space, parks and trails into a unified system; a. Multi-use drainage corridors as backbone trail segments b. Pedestrian paths and feeder trails connect neighborhoods to backbone system, parks, schools and neighborhood centers 6. Interconnected street patterns throughout the community; a. Provide alternative circulation choices to disperse vehicular traffic b. Provide safe and convenient pedestrian ways 7. Neighborhoods are anchored by community amenities or “third places” such as: a. parks b. schools c. open space d. recreation areas e. reservoirs f. trails 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-133 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.6.2 Landscape Zones The Master Landscape Concept has been developed on a foundational premise that emphasizes the principle of a low water demand plant palette, appropriate for the site’s location and climatic conditions. Mojave and Anza Borrego native plant species and other California drought resistant plant materials will constitute the majority of the living landscape in Travertine Point. The major thematic linear elements of the landscape concept that create the unifying character of the community are the backbone street system and the major open space features, including the major drainages. While these linear elements thread the community together, the Master Landscape Concept also establishes four landscape zones, generally reflective of the geographic context of the Specific Plan’s four Districts. These four landscape zones are: the Upland Zone, the Foothill Zone, the Riparian Zone, and the Lakeshore Zone. See Section 4.13, Landscape Design Guidelines and Section 4.14, Community Design Guidelines for more detail regarding District themes and distinction. 1. Upland Zone This zone occupies the northwest sector of Travertine Point, coincidental with District 1 of the Land Use Plan. The landscape character of this zone should reflect the alluvial fan nature of the area and the nearby Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. 2. Foothill Zone Located in the southwest sector, coincidental with District 2 of the Land Use Plan, this zone should relate to the landscape character of the foothills of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. 3. Riparian Zone The Riparian Zone is coincidental with District 3 of the Land Use Plan in the northeast sector of Travertine Point. This lower lying area should include some features reflective of a naturalized landscape character such as desert riparian plant communities and, possibly, wetlands enhancement programs. 4. Lakeshore Zone Also located in an area of lower elevation in the southeast sector near the Salton Sea, the Lakeshore Zone is coincidental with District 4 of the Land Use Plan. This zone should reflect the proximity to the significant natural wonder of the Salton Sea while also establishing the recreational and resort context in the landscape character. 4-134 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.6.3 Master Landscape Plan Development Standards 1. Regional, Community, and Neighborhood Parks a. The plant palette for the parks shall consist of durable turf, Mojave and Anza Borrego desert or other California-native, ornamental and drought tolerant species that will combine to produce inviting spaces. b. Trees and shrubs should be identified and placed to create open spaces for active recreation, and shade for small social gatherings or passive areas. c. Specimen trees shall be incorporated into the landscape at primary areas and pedestrian nodes. These areas may include corners, large central planters and at focal terminus. d. The Regional Park may include amenities such as a community recreation center, numerous lighted sport fields, tot-lots, hard court games, an active recreation area, group camping, restroom facilities, etc. Plant material should be used to define activity / use areas, and to frame and reinforce views. e. Several Community Parks shall include at least one unlighted sports field. f. Neighborhood Parks may include, but not limited to an open play area, shaded tot-lot, educational area, benches, tables and chairs, shade and trellis structures. g. On-site boulders should be taken into consideration for design of the park landscape. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for selected plant material for specific areas. 2. Town Center The Town Center consists of Regional Commercial, Mixed Use, Business Park, and High Density Residential. Straddling Highway 86S and one of the major drainage corridors the Town Center is the major activity center to Travertine Point. The plant palette selected should harmonize and accentuate building architecture, and provide a statement to the Town Center. a. Vertical type trees are preferred adjacent to building architecture to emphasize the vertical lines of the building. b. Screen type trees should be used in areas to soften massive building walls. c. Larger type shrubs should be used as background material to soften building facades and walls. d. In highly visible locations such as entries and/ or pedestrian nodes, planting should be accentuated. e. Turf areas should be limited to common areas, appropriate use corridors and along the back of sidewalk to divide landscape areas. f. The use of Native and drought tolerant plant material is recommended for the Town Center. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for selected plant material for specific areas. 4-138 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 3. Resort / Marina a. The Resort / Marina shall be planted with a mix of ornamental, riparian and drought tolerant type species. b. Turf areas should be strategically placed to provide passive areas for relaxation and for a scenic overlook of the Marina. c. Seating should be provided at these scenic overlook locations. d. Specimen type trees should be selected at the primary entry as an entry statement to the Resort / Marina. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for specific areas. 4. Golf / Residential The Golf-Residential areas are envisioned as custom lots within a gated enclave. a. Specimen type trees should be incorporated at the primary and secondary entries. This would provide homeowners and visitors a sense of arrival. b. Ornamental, native and drought tolerant type species should be selected to provide an inviting and thriving landscape. c. On-site rocks and boulders should be taken into consideration in the design of the golf and residential landscape. d. Highly important is the selection of landscape planting which should be compatible with the architecture. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for selected plant material for specific areas. 5. Open Space (Conservation) The Open Space conservation areas are located within Districts 1, and 2. a. The “natural” open space area should remain untouched, or supplemented only with indigenous species to improve and enhance the native habitat. b. Culturally-significant geologic features, such as the Travertine Point rock outcropping should be preserved. 6. Open Space (Recreation) Open Space recreation areas are located within all four zones. a. The landscape plant material should be indigenous or naturalized to the Anza-Borrego Desert Region. b. Some of these areas may also be utilized as locations for debris basins, so it is extremely important that native and naturalized plant material be selected. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-139 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 7. Cultural Preserve / Living Desert This “Natural” open space conservation area located on TMDCI land is extremely important for the overall history to the site. Located within the Upland Residential Zone, this area should be dedicated as an educational area for all users. Brief descriptions of indigenous and naturalized planting, and the use of plant material – for medicinal, food, shelter, clothing, ceremonial and other purposes – by the Cahuilla ancestors should be implemented in this area. A naturalized pedestrian trail is proposed to meander throughout the “Natural” open space. Cultural artifacts such as fish traps, arrowheads, pottery, etc… should be appropriately referenced in educational displays adjacent to the pedestrian trail. A low open fence, or other marker, should be located along the property line to define the boundaries of the Cultural Preserve / Living Desert. 8. Drainage Corridor Drainage Corridors traverse throughout the Specific Plan area. These corridors will be dry throughout most of the year with normal average rainfall. They have been sensitively located to channel additional peak storm flows to the Salton Sea. a. The plant material of the drainage washes should be indigenous and naturalized to the Anza- Borrego Desert Region. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for selected plant material for specific areas. 9. The Reservoirs The system of reservoirs, planned in some of the residential planning areas, will be a key element of the water management system of Travertine Point and will also serve as recreational amenities. a. The majority of the reservoirs perimeter should be common area, i.e., all residents, as members of the master HOA, and their guests will have access to the reservoirs and associated facilities. b. Some portion of the reservoir frontage may be designed to be “private”, i.e., owned by an individual lot owner, or controlled by a neighborhood sub-association. c. Plant material should be used to define activity / use areas, and to frame and reinforce views and public and private space. This would provide homeowner and public areas with a sense of arrival and place. d. Ornamental, native and drought tolerant type species should be selected to be inviting and landscape elements should provide shade in public space where available. e. On-site rocks and boulders should be taken into consideration in the design of the reservoir and adjacent residential development. f. The selection of landscape planting should be compatible with the function of the reservoir and neighboring land uses. 4-140 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 10. Schools School sites are under the direction of the CVUSD in regards to site planning and landscape architecture. It is recommended that school sites incorporate landscape material recommendations from Travertine Point’s Master Landscape Plan and Plant Palette to ensure continuity in landscape design, and use of drought tolerant landscape materials that promote water conservation practices. Shading techniques should also be incorporated in landscape design for school facilities where gathering places and sidewalks occur. Travertine Point recommends that plant material should be used to define activity / use areas, and to frame and reinforce views from adjacent residential development for safety. Artificial turf areas are highly recommended. Ornamental, native and drought tolerant type species should be selected and should provide ample shade. Again, landscape planting should be taken into consideration to be compatible with the campus architecture as well as in the design of the adjacent land uses and residential development. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-141 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.7 DRAINAGE, WATER, AND DRY UTILITIES 4.7.1 Drainage Plan Description The principle drainage pattern in the project area is stormwater flow that emanates from the Santa Rosa Mountains and drains towards the Salton Sea. These watersheds are bound by a series of large but inactive alluvial fans, which feed a series of “entrenched” fan washes that drain to the SR 86S and SR 86 bridges. From a hydraulic standpoint, the bridges function together as a manifold, thereby, releasing the more significant stormwater flow events across the entire width of the project footprint. The storm flows ultimately drain unencumbered into the Salton Sea (refer to Appendix “Preliminary Flood Hazard Hydrology and Conceptual Mitigation Plan for the Proposed Travertine Point, Oasis Area, Riverside County, California, April 2008”, prepared by Exponent, Inc.). 1. Pre- and Post-development Flood Patterns and Drainage Improvements The principle flood hazard in the project area (pre-project conditions) is stormwater flow from a series of five major watersheds that emanate from the Santa Rosa Mountains. These watersheds are bound by a series of large but inactive alluvial fans. Commensurate with FEMA’s Stages 1-3 alluvial fan flood hazard assessment criteria, Exponent: 1) conducted geologic and geomorphologic investigations of the alluvial fan watershed basins, and 2) reviewed historical and current aerial topography, in conjunction with the site evaluations to assess the nature and extent of the project’s offsite flooding hazard. The results of the hydrology report’s initial utility assessment showed that stormwater flows from the project, in all likelihood, will not adversely affect these offsite drainage improvements, since the project is relatively self-contained from a flood impact standpoint given its location on the pathway between the flood source areas in the Santa Rosa Mountains and the Salton Sea sink. In general, the mitigation plan consists of four flood control channel systems that convey offsite alluvial fan stormwater flows through the project, prior to discharging into the Salton Sea. It is anticipated that these channels will also be used as a Best Management Practice (BMP) to comply with National Pollution Discharge Elimination Source (NPDES) water quality requirements for the Salton Sea. 2. Post-development Flood Patterns and Proposed Flood Control Drainage Improvements The hydrology report indicates that the pre- and post-project alluvial fan flood hazard to the west of SR 86 will remain unchanged in perpetuity. The latter is based on the results of the geomorphologic analysis, and on the assumptions that: 1) future land development within the project’s contributory alluvial fans will not be allowed due to the current flood hazard, or 2) if allowed, will be designed to comply with FEMA’s Regulation 65.13, which precludes the design of flood control facilities that could adversely affect this project. The major watersheds and sub-basin locations relative to the project’s proposed land use plan and Flood Control Channels 1-4 are shown in Exhibit 4-12, Watershed and Drainage Collection Point Locations. Four major channel systems are proposed for this project as shown in Exhibit 4-13, Drainage Master Plan. Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been strategically placed at key locations along the westerly perimeter of the project footprint in relation to the four collection points (Collection 4-142 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Points 1, 2, 3, and 4). The Collection Points receive the offsite flows via a series of onsite engineered tributary channels that are located along the westerly boundary of the project. From the Collection Points, Channels 1-3 convey the storm flows to the Salton Sea. It is important to note that Channels 1-4 do not alter flood patterns upstream of the project, such that offsite flows would be diverted to the north or south of the project footprint. In fact, the existing conditions fan flood hazard patterns remain the same under both pre- and post-project conditions until the flows are collected and conveyed by Channels 1-4. CVWD’s “Drain and Stormwater Channel’s” will be replaced by Channels 1-3, thereby, mitigating the flooding that occurs today. The exiting drainage facility that may be affected is the Avenue 81 Drain and Stormwater Channel for Channel 4. Exhibit 4-13, Drainage Master Plan, also indicates the existing locations of the Caltrans SR 86 bridges/culvert crossings, however, subsequent hydrological analysis will be necessary in order to determine the ultimate, number, locations and configurations of these culverts as more detailed drainage analysis becomes available for the design of the channel improvements. As discussed earlier in Section 4.5.2, Open Space (OS) (W) (Water), the drainage channels are planned to serve multiple functions; serve in flood control, serve in “water harvesting” and storm water treatment through de-silting; serve as recreational trail system, serve as native landscaped habitat, and serve as a visual amenity. The areas storm water drainage facilities is anticipated to improve the quality of storm water runoff that flows into the Salton Sea as a “cleaner” source for de- salting the sea itself. In addition, the proposed reservoir system for Travertine Point is planned to be a component of the on-site storm water runoff management strategy as a BMP to assist in water harvesting and cleaning the water.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The drainage channel facilities within the project will serve a three-fold purpose. It will contain 100-year storm flows, and will also serve as an active and passive recreational amenity to the project when water levels are low or virtually non-existent. Areas directly adjacent to the channels will be landscaped with natural plantings transitioning to include a multi-purpose trail. A low-flow drainage channel will be incorporated into the channel bed design. Typically the drainage channel widths will be substantial and serve to provide natural habitat and corridors for wildlife movement. In addition to the basic issues of flood hazard mitigation, a concept channel mitigation plan within the project footprint accommodates the proposed land-use plan. This was achieved by developing conceptual channel alignments and geometries internal to the project footprint that provide opportunities for water quality and environmental conservation, as well as recreational use such as walking trails, etc. Conceptual design criteria for these channels allows for: 1) channel profile slopes of about 1 to 3 percent, 2) side slopes of 3 to 1, 3) channel depths ranging from 10 to 13 feet, and 4) top widths ranging typically from 300 to 400 feet. The channel profiles (see typical channel section below) were prepared to aid the site civil engineer with initial grading studies and will be adjusted as the project progresses through the entitlement process and final engineering. 4-148 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.7.2 Drainage Plan Development Standards 1. Off-site tributary drainage flows generated upstream from the project via the existing drainage patterns will need to be captured and redirected into on-site collection points. 2. Streets and storm drains will carry storm water to the four major drainage channels, which will also be designed as a passive recreational facility. 3. Storm drain facilities will be constructed in accordance with Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and water conservation requirements 4. Provide in conjunction with site mass grading protection from 100-year storm flows. 5. The proposed drainage channel corridors will tie into the crossing at SR-86S, allowing for ultimate drainage into the Salton Sea. 6. It is anticipated that storm drainage and landscaped flood control facilities easements will be provided to CVWD and will be maintained by a Master HOA. 7. Major flood control crossings and transition structures and drainage channel flood flows conveyance capacities will be monitored and maintained by CVWD. 8. At the time of Subdivision Map processing, reference should be made to the accompanying hydrology report prepared by the project's engineer for specific techniques and measures regarding the drainage channels functionality. 4.7.3 Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Plan Description 1. Water System Potable water for the project will be provided by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). Refer to Exhibit 4-14, Potable Water Master Plan. This is the “backbone” system for the entire project and is one key factor in establishing project phasing. All in-tract water distribution facilities will be shown on subdivision improvement plans and will be designed and constructed in accordance with CVWD requirements and agreements. As part of a capital improvement project, CVWD has already funded and is in the process of finalizing the right of way for the installation for the first of two 30-inch water mains along the old Highway 86 from 56th Avenue to 86th Avenue. These water mains will tie-in and augment the available potable water supply to this area. The Travertine Point Specific Plan area will be connecting to the proposed 30-inch water mains for the first phase(s). The proposed water systems will include 18-inch, 12-inch, 8-inch, and 4-inch pipe lines within internal roadways to provide domestic service to each proposed residential and commercial tenant. Domestic reservoir and booster station sites may be located within the Specific Plan area as needed and conceptual locations are shown on Exhibit 4-14, Potable Water Master Plan. The Travertine Point Specific Plan area will incorporate several potable water conservation measures from the Coachella Valley Water Management Plan, dated November 2000. Potable water usage will be separated from the irrigation usage, proposing a dual water system. The separate irrigation main will allow conservation of potable water that is used primarily for internal residential or commercial use (i.e., drinking water) instead of landscape irrigation purposes. The separate, pressurized irrigation main will utilize non-potable water such as treated Colorado River water, reclaimed water, perched ground water or a combination of these sources and is described further, below. In addition, 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-149 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN efficient landscaping and the installation of water conserving plumbing fixtures will further conserve the overall water usage (see also Section 4.11, Sustainable Development Guidelines, and Section 4.13, Landscape Design Guidelines, for water preservation recommendations). These designs will positively contribute to offsetting the groundwater overdraft. 2. Irrigation System The proposed irrigation system mains are anticipated to include, 24-inch, 18-inch, 12-inch, and 8- inch, pipe lines installed alongside the potable water mains within the internal roadways to provide pressurized irrigation service as well as sufficient fire flows to fire hydrants placed in accordance with the County Fire Department and the California Department of Public Health standards (refer to Exhibit 4-15, Irrigation Master Plan). This dual water system is an integral part of the entire Travertine Point Specific Plan area. All of the in-tract irrigation distribution facilities will be shown on the subdivision improvement plans and will be designed and constructed in accordance with CVWD requirements and agreements. Currently, the Travertine Point Specific Plan area has several farm irrigation delivery lines. These delivery lines are gravity systems. The Travertine Point Specific Plan area intends on maintaining these gravity delivery lines in place until the new pressurized irrigation system is developed. The pressurized irrigation system will use the same drainage channel water, but it will be filtered for residential and commercial irrigation use. Another portion of the drainage channel water may be diverted for treatment and for potable water use, and the remainder could be used for recharging the aquifer. These designs are intended to positively contribute to the offsetting of the groundwater overdraft. 3. Wastewater System Wastewater (effluent) treatment involves cleaning used water and sewage so that it can be returned safely to the environment or reused in place of other resources and is shown on Exhibit 4-16, Wastewater Master Plan. Sewer service will be provided by CVWD. This is also part of the backbone system for the entire project and is a key factor in establishing project phasing. All in-tract portions of the collection system will be shown on the subdivision improvement plans and will be designed and constructed in accordance with CVWD requirements and agreements. The proposed sewer plan consists of construction of a new sewerage treatment facility and conceptual sites are indicated on Exhibit 4-16, Wastewater Master Plan. The Travertine Point Specific Plan area first phase(s) of development may construct a modular sewerage treatment facilities. These modular facilities will allow development of a portion of the project site until service can be provided by the future regional CVWD sewerage treatment plant. The tertiary effluent (reclaimed water) from the modular and the future treatment plant are intended to be directed into the irrigation system. The proposed Travertine Point Specific Plan area is anticipating the installation of 8-inch sewer mains increasing up to 33-inches in diameter that will lead to the future treatment plant. The proposed sewer system will include sewer mains within internal roadways to provide service to the residential and commercial tenants. The use of force mains or pump stations may be required, depending on final grade considerations. Sewage treatment facilities shall be installed in accordance 4-150 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN with requirements and specifications of the State Department of Health Services, CVWD, and Riverside County Public Health Department requirements. 4.7.4 Potable Water, Irrigation, and Wastewater Plan Development Standards 1. All potable water, irrigation, and sewer horizontal and vertical alignments shall be in accordance with applicable County of Riverside, County Health Department and Coachella Valley Water District Design Guidelines, Standards and Specifications. 2. All potable water, irrigation, and sewer line sizes and materials shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the appropriate agency, such as the Coachella Valley Water District, County of Riverside Engineering Department, and County Health Department. 3. The project’s potable and irrigation water will be separated. The dual water system will allow for conservation of potable water. 4.7.5 Dry Utilities Development Standards 1. All utility lines within the project area will be underground and will be incorporated within the street right-of-way or within utility easements on private property. The project does not include any utility system major components requiring exhibits. 2. To the extent feasible, all underground utilities will be installed at the same time the street or other improvement is being constructed. 3. Electric Power - Electricity will be provided by the Imperial Irrigation District Energy Division (IID). Current facilities will need to be improved to serve the Specific Plan area. 4. Natural Gas - here are currently no natural gas facilities in the Specific Plan area and facilities will need to be improved and provided by Southern California Gas. 5. Telephone and Internet – AT&T has a fiber optic transcontinental direct buried line that runs the length of the project site along the east side of SR-86S. This transcontinental fiber optic line is not intended for distribution-type use and cannot be accessed. 6. Telephone and internet infrastructure service shall be provided by Verizon and will be installed along with other utilities. 7. Verizon may provide fiber optic service in the future, however, there is a possibility that a project of this magnitude could negotiate for telephone and internet services through other providers 8. Cable Television - Time Warner Cable (TWC) provides television service for the area. There are currently no facilities in the area. TWC is willing to extend their service lines to the area if density and construction timelines are justified. If the developer decides to finance the extension, TWC will provide the facilities, however, there is a possibility that a project of this magnitude could negotiate for cable television services through other providers. Installation of cable facilities should occur along with other utilities.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.8 GRADING PLAN 4.8.1 Grading Plan Description The proposed grading scheme for Travertine Point is depicted on Exhibit 4-17, Grading Concept Plan. The main feature of the plan is the creation of the drainage channels traversing the site in an easterly direction towards the Salton Sea. The proposed channels are the key design features of the Travertine Point project. These multi-purpose facilities not only provides the obvious benefit of flood control and conveyance of storm waters for the Travertine Point Specific Plan project area and neighboring properties, it also provides significant linear greenbelt open space corridors for the community. The project site grading will allow for excesses and shortfalls of soil to be shifted where needed throughout the process to ensure a balance of dirt movement on the project site. The intention of the grading concept is to modify the landforms slightly in order to provide positive drainage to the four main drainage channels throughout the development and to enhance the design of each planning area. The channels are designed in a manner providing a very mild bed slope gradient, thereby allowing for optimum non-erodible channel flow characteristics and the opportunity to generate earth volumes to be used in the site mass grading operation. This will help facilitate a balance of materials to meet minimum street and grading standards. The excavated dirt from the drainage channels and other drainage facilities, and the cut materials generated from the site mass grading to create development pads, will be used to re-contour the flat site in a manner that will facilitate efficient drainage toward the proposed channels. The drainage channels will work in conjunction with an extensive network of storm drains within future street configurations. An overview of the components of the project’s grading plan includes: 1. Existing ground slope from west to east towards the Salton Sea at approximately 1-4 percent. 2. Proposed grading will create slopes of approximately 1-4 percent towards the Salton Sea and direct flows towards a filtering system and into the main drainage channels that traverse the site. 3. Cuts will range from 0.0’ to 25’ and Fills will range from 0.0’ to 32’. 4. The overall project site grading is planned to balance. Import and export will be maintained within the project boundaries. 5. Excess rocks or boulders will be crushed for base material, used as channel revetment, landscape features, building material or buried on-site in appropriate areas such as future parks or non-building areas. 6. All graded areas will be properly stabilized with appropriate mitigation measures. 7. Drainage swales will be designed at a minimum grade as much as possible to minimize erosion and promote percolation 8. Grading operations will include the creation of the four main drainage channels that will traverse the site from west to east to the Salton Sea. 9. Grading operations will include the creation of off-site drainage interceptor channels along the uphill or within the western edge of the project boundary to divert off-site flows into the four main drainage channels. 4-158 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 10. The grading will include the creation of lakes to facilitate the collection of sediment removal and distribution of the existing irrigation water supply into the proposed irrigation, and fire suppression, water systems. 11. Where applicable, the reservoirs will also act as detention basins for urban run-off. 12. Urban run-off entering the reservoirs utilized as detention basins will be filtered through man-made wetlands or mechanical methods. 13. Filtered urban run-off will eventually be diverted into the main drainage channels traversing the project to the Salton Sea.

The grading plan for each such area shall be used as a guideline for subsequent detailed grading plans for individual stages of development within that area, and shall include Best Management Practices techniques employed to prevent erosion and sedimentation during and after the grading process. The following grading standards will be implemented: 1. All streets shall have a minimum gradient of 0.35 percent and in no instance shall exceed 15 percent. 2. All grading shall conform to the applicable County grading ordinances, and all other relevant laws, rules, and regulations governing grading, and shall conform substantially to the overall Grading Concept Plan. 3. Prior to any development within any area of the Specific Plan, an overall Grading Concept Plan for the portion in process shall be submitted to the Building and Safety Department for review and approval in the County of Riverside. The Grading Plan for each such area shall be used as a guideline for subsequent detailed grading plans for individual stages of development within that area, and shall include preliminary pad and roadway elevations. 4. Unless otherwise approved by the County of Riverside, all cut and fill slopes shall be constructed at inclinations no steeper than two (2) horizontal feet to one (1) vertical foot. The Grading Plan will reflect a contouring intended to control slope erosion. 5. A grading permit shall be obtained from the County of Riverside prior to grading. 6. Soil stabilizers should be used to control dust as required by SCAQMD Rule 403. 7. Plant and irrigate all manufactured slopes steeper than a 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) ratio and 3 feet or greater in vertical height with grass, ground cover, or an approved erosion mitigation measure; as approved by the Building and Safety Department’s Erosion Control Specialist. 8.

Pre-Grading --The portions of the site to be graded shall be pre-watered to a depth designated by the soils engineer prior to the onset of grading operations. b. During Grading -- Once grading has commenced, and until grading has been completed, watering of the site and/or other treatment(s) determined to be appropriate shall be ongoing. c. Post-Grading – All disturbed areas shall be treated to prevent erosion during the term that the area will remain undeveloped. d. Landscape and Irrigation shall be installed per future plan submittals. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-163 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.9 DEVELOPMENT PHASING 4.9.1 Purpose and Intent Travertine Point will be phased over an estimated thirty-five year period in accordance with a logical and orderly extension of roadways, public utilities, and infrastructure. Phasing also will respond to market demand and an assumed rate of absorption. It is anticipated that the project will be developed in five phases as shown in Exhibit 4-18a, Development Phasing Plan, and detailed in Exhibits 4-18b through 4-18f, Development Phases I - V. The primary intention of the Travertine Point development phasing program is to correlate appropriate infrastructure requirements to site development. To allow for a flexible phasing program, the Districts of Travertine Point have been planned so that each may be developed independently and in any order, however, project geography generally necessitates flood control to be constructed prior to each development phase and generally from north to south, east to west. The Districts may also be developed concurrently to allow for maximum efficiency of infrastructure implementation and to meet market demand. Each District may also be internally phased, as long as infrastructure, including roads, water, sewer, and drainage systems are in place as development occurs. The sequence of development for Travertine Point will be influenced by the following factors: 1) the economy; 2) the rate of growth of other regional projects; and 3) changes in regional infrastructure/public facilities conditions and needs. As these factors change during the course of the buildout process, necessary adjustments in corresponding infrastructure requirements will be instituted as set forth below. 4.9.2 Development Phasing Mechanisms 1. Tentative Subdivision Maps The basic phasing mechanism of the Travertine Point Specific Plan is the tentative subdivision map. As each tentative subdivision map is processed, infrastructure requirements for that subdivision will be established. The infrastructure requirements for each tentative subdivision map will be consistent with the backbone infrastructure systems of the Specific Plan, subject to review for substantial compliance with the Specific Plan by the County. Concurrent with the submittal of each tentative subdivision map, an updated Land Use Plan Statistical Table (Table 4-12) will be filed with the County, as set forth in Section 4.16.2, Subdivisions, and Section 4.16.6, Adjustment/Transfer Provisions of this Specific Plan. 2. Adjustment/Transfer Regulations The Adjustment/Transfer Regulations set forth in Section 4.16.6, provide the Specific Plan with the flexibility to adapt development phasing to the changes precipitated by a fluctuating economy and regional infrastructure/public facility conditions. 3. Public Facility Overlays Public facility land use overlays for such uses as reservoirs, parks, public facilities for utilities, schools, public safety and / or other normal public service uses have been designated by the Land Use Plan, Exhibit 4-0. The location of these land uses are preliminary and will be defined at the time of subdivision map submittal. 4-164 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The use of these overlays allow for land use allocation and phasing planning, while maintaining the necessary flexibility to adapt to changing conditions. 4.9.3 Development Phasing Standards As project development proceeds, certain phasing standards will apply. These standards are as follows: 1. In order to provide current design details for each Specific Plan District, the Developer shall prepare a District Refinement Plan (DRP) that will be required to be processed with a Specific Plan substantial conformance application before any implementing project can be approved within any District. A DRP may be processed concurrently with any planning development application or subdivision map. The primary intention of the Travertine Point DRP process is to outline District land uses, provide design details and correlate appropriate infrastructure requirements for District development and is outlined in Section 4.16, Project Administration. 2. Exhibits 4-18b through 4-18f, Development Phases I – V provide the major infrastructure required for each development phase and is detailed further in Section 4.16, Project Administration. 3. All land subdivision maps of any type (e.g., tentative or final, vesting or non-vesting, tract or parcel) shall be submitted, reviewed, and approved in accordance with the Riverside County Subdivision Ordinance, or Imperial County Subdivision Ordinance, as the case may be, and the California Subdivision Map Act. 4. Prior to the recording of any final subdivision map, improvement plans shall be submitted to the County Planning Department for approval. The improvement plans shall include, but not be limited to, the following: a. Final Grading Plan; b. Irrigation Plans certified by a landscape architect; c. Landscaping Plan with seed mixes for mulching and staking methods, locations, type, size, and quantity of plantings; d. Wall and Fence Treatment Plan; and e. Special treatment/buffer area treatment plans. 5. Each Planning Area shall include development of necessary infrastructure for County or related entities 6. Construction of the development permitted hereby, including recordation of final subdivision maps, may progress in stages, provided adequate vehicular access is constructed for all dwelling units in each stage of development and further provided that such phase of development conforms substantially with the intent and purpose of the Specific Plan development phasing program. 7. In order to assure that necessary recreational services are made available to Travertine Point residents, prior to the issuance of the 25th certificate of occupancy, the Developer or builder shall provide a park with playground and field play area. This condition may be waived or modified without further amendment to this Specific Plan, if such modification is determined appropriate by the County at a later stage of development. 4- 1 6 6 T ra v e r t i n e P o i n t S p e c i f i c P l a n N o . 3 7 5 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.do c 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.10 MAINTENANCE It is anticipated that initially, maintenance associations will be established and ultimately positioned for the governance for city hood. The master homeowners association, or equivalent, shall be charged with the unqualified right to assess their own individual members who own individual units for reasonable maintenance and management costs which shall be established and continuously maintained. The master homeowners association shall be responsible for private roads, parking, open space areas, signing, landscaping, irrigation, common areas and other facilities, as necessary. Neighborhood sub-associations, including rental properties, will be established as necessary and to realize the overall fiscal goal of the project, and ensure reasonable responsibility for funding of improvements. Successful operation of maintenance districts and associations are important in maintaining quality in a project area. It is anticipated that maintenance responsibilities for public and/or common area project facilities within the Travertine Point Specific Plan area may be distributed among one or more of the following:  Master Homeowners' Association (Master HOA)  Master Commercial Property Owners' Association (CPOA)  Neighborhood Homeowner’s Associations (HOA) (subordinate to Master HOA)  Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District(s) (LLMD)  Community Services Area (CSA)  Community Services District (CSD)  The Desert Recreation District  Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) A decision regarding which assessment program(s) will be employed shall be made at a future stage of project design and review and in concert with the applicable County agencies. Table 4-9, Project Facilities and Maintenance, summarizes the project facilities and the possible maintenance responsibility that may typically apply: 4-178 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.10.1 Master Homeowner’s Association / Landscape Maintenance District Common areas identified in the Specific Plan may be owned and/or maintained by a permanent private master maintenance association and / or Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District(s), for all common recreation, reservoir, open space, circulation systems and landscaped areas. Areas of responsibility may include the neighborhood / pocket parks, entry monumentation areas, and common, non-public landscaped areas located along public or private roads. 4.10.2 Master Commercial Property Owner’s Association Common areas within the non-residential or commercial areas identified in the Specific Plan may be owned and maintained by a permanent private CPOA maintenance organization. Areas of responsibility may include common landscaped areas, circulation system, and common, non-public landscaped. 4.10.3 Neighborhood Homeowners’ Associations In certain residential areas of the project, smaller associations may be formed to assume maintenance responsibility for common areas and facilities that benefit only residents in those areas. Potential private recreation centers, common open space areas, and potential private roadways exemplify facilities that may come under the jurisdiction of a neighborhood association. 4.10.4 Open Space Areas Any open space area not directly associated with a particular neighborhood will be the responsibility of either:  Master Commercial Property Owners' Association (CPOA)  Neighborhood Homeowner’s Associations (HOA)  Community Services Area (CSA)  Community Services District (CSD) 4.10.5 Project Roadways All public project roadways will be designed and constructed to standards acceptable to the County and will therefore be entered into the County system of roads for operation and maintenance. Private roadways will be designed and constructed as identified within this Specific Plan and may come under the jurisdiction of a neighborhood association or Commercial Property Owners’ Association. Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District may be responsible for landscape medians and parkways in public ROW. 4-180 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.11 SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES 4.11.1 Purpose and Intent Sustainable principles provides project commitments and recommended guidelines that establish the direction for future development by employing effective and practical site development and building strategies that:  Minimize adverse impacts to the environment;  Conserve energy, air and water resources, and raw materials;  Reduce waste; and  Promote human physiological and psychological health and welfare. The sustainable principles are organized to address specific objectives common of several major “systems.” These systems include natural resources, cultural resources, community and neighborhood planning, building interiors, construction, implementation, and lifecycle operations, and humanity. Table 4-10, Sustainable Principles, identifies a range of solutions available to builders and developers to achieve a sustainable, “low impact development” (LID) community. It also establishes direction for future development to proceed with the intent of using effective building solutions that minimize impacts to the environment, energy resources, and raw materials. The project commitments and recommended guidelines are targeted to address objectives for the Specific Plan area that are influenced by location, as well as the climatic conditions of the Coachella Valley and provides developers, builders and end users to choose solutions that are appropriate to effectively develop a sustainable community. The Travertine Point Climate Action Plan provides implementation strategies and performance standards for developers, builders, and users in order to affect a reduction in green house gas emissions as directed by AB 32, and to become energy and resource efficient. A scientific assessment and quantification of the project’s sustainability initiatives and reduction of operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as compared to a baseline community is included in the Specific Plan Appendix. The end result of the implementation of the following sustainable development project commitments, recommended guidelines, and the Climate Action Plan, is to reduce the overall carbon footprint impacts on the Coachella Valley and assist in promoting “cooler communities” by reducing heat island effects and effectively using energy and material resources. Recycling and new technologies for generating energy and power should be embraced as it could potentially reduce operational and living costs. 4-182 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The Sustainable principles serve the following functions:  Assist in addressing AB 32 Green House Gas emission reductions.  Recycle and reclaim resources such as water, soils, and wastes that can reduce impacts to the Salton Sea.  Establish opportunities for “practical green” solutions for Travertine Point that allow business owners and residents effective ways in reducing energy and water consumption  Assist project designers in preparing land plans and final project designs for resource efficiencies; and  Embrace new technologies that improve living standards more effectively Travertine Point’s project commitments and recommended guidelines are outlined in Table 4-10, Sustainable Principles. 4_ l u _ 4 t h _ a d m i n _ d r a f t _ s u b m i t t a l . d o c T ra v e r t i n e P o i n t S p e c i f i c P l a n N o . 3 7 5 4-183 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.11.2 Climate Action Plan The Travertine Point Climate Action Plan is organized as follows:  Overview  Technical Introduction and Background.  The Action Plan includes components describing building and energy efficiency, transportation emissions reductions, water efficiency, and waste reduction and recycling. It also provides review and enforcement provisions.  Appendix provides a quantifiable comparison between the Travertine Point Project and the “business-as-usual” project and is provided in the analysis, “Quantitative Assessment of Operation Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions Resulting From Travertine Point’s Sustainability Initiatives” (October 21, 2009), prepared by Symbiotic Engineering. The intent is to demonstrate that implementation of the Travertine Point Specific Plan − with its sustainable principles project commitments and recommended guidelines − together with this Climate Action Plan, will significantly reduce overall GHG impacts on the Coachella Valley. 1. Overview a. Sustainable New Town Strategy Travertine Point is designed to preserve and enhance the quality of life for the region’s current and future residents. Travertine Point will accomplish this by creating an exemplary community in an area suitable for development, while protecting the integrity and vitality of existing communities and thereby strengthening the region as a whole. Implementation of Travertine Point’s sustainable development principles will generate economic opportunities; create great places for people to live, work, play, shop, and visit; preserve the qualities people love about their communities; and protect and conserve environmental and cultural resources. Travertine Point implements sustainable land use principles by creating a balanced master- planned community that exemplifies both a living and a working environment. Travertine Point contains efficient land use patterns, a future town center, lifestyle-oriented amenities, and community services. By developing the right places at the appropriate time, this master planned development in the path of the Valley’s growth corridor will become the foundation and model for quality growth and other mixed-use new town communities such as Travertine Point. The direct result will be to maximize efficiencies in land use, transportation, infrastructure, public services and facilities, as well as the conservation and management of natural resources within the region.  This new town strategy helps ensure that the “Vision” for Travertine Point can embrace sustainable development practices. Travertine Point will make the best use of efficient land use patterns and practices, in that it:  Utilizes proximate existing and planned transportation facilities (SR 86S);  Represents logical extensions and expansions of existing and planned infrastructure;  Provides alternate and improved mobility options, walkable neighborhoods, and reduced dependency on single-occupant vehicle trips; 4-194 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN  Accommodates housing for all incomes and lifestyles, including workforce and affordable housing;  Ensures that public infrastructure, services, and facilities are provided concurrently with new development;  Reduces adverse impacts on valuable habitat, and air and water quality;  Promotes conservation and increase efficiency of resource use;  Prevents the adverse effects of light pollution; and  Creates a secure, vibrant, desirable, and sustainable place for people to live. The location of Travertine Point is regionally appropriate for development in that it complements existing and long-planned transportation patterns. Utilizing sustainable development principles, Travertine Point links proposed urban land uses to existing and planned regional transportation infrastructure. Bringing together jobs and housing in an attractive, harmonious manner results in reduced commuting times, distances, and trips. The sustainable development principles of efficient land use and circulation patterns for the Travertine Point Specific Plan are demonstrated at both the regional and project level. Not only will this lessen the burdens on the roadway system, it will lessen the stress of metropolitan living and provide more time for family, recreation, and cultural pursuits. The applicant for Travertine Point actively supports and encourages the restoration efforts and continued use of the Salton Sea as a valuable resource for habitat and recreation, including boating, fishing and birding. Development of the Project will make a significant contribution to the Salton Sea restoration program. The Travertine Point Specific Plan embraces and reflects the rich heritage of the Coachella Valley and the site’s immediate context, including the culture of the Cahuilla Indians, the desert landscape, the Salton Sea, and the agricultural history of the area. These elements are reflected in the landscape concepts, monumentation, and design guidelines that will be used throughout the buildout of this new town. The Travertine Point Climate Action Plan (CAP) provides a scientific assessment and quantification of the Project’s sustainability initiatives as compared to a baseline community (see Appendix). The CAP includes the implementing strategies for the reduction of operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Implementation of these sustainable development measures and guidelines will reduce overall GHG impacts on the Coachella Valley by reducing vehicular miles traveled through land use and circulation planning, and assist in promoting “cooler communities” by reducing heat island effects and effectively using energy and material resources. Recycling, green building, and new technologies / alternative sources for generating energy and power will be embraced as they will not only reduce GHG emissions, but also reduce operating and living costs. b. Goals Travertine Point embodies sustainable initiatives that will quantifiably reduce operational GHG emissions compared to the business-as-usual inventory of a baseline community. Travertine Point’s Climate Action Plan advances its implementation strategies and performance standards as a manageable means for review and enforcement. The most significant challenges in reducing operational GHG emissions fall into four categories: 1) Building Energy Use; 2) Transportation Emissions; 3) Water Emissions; and Solid Waste 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-195 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Management. To address these, the primary goals of the Travertine Point Climate Action Plan are to: i. Develop a self-contained and sustainable New Town − a balanced master-planned community that will be an exemplary living and working environment, founded on the principles of sustainable development; ii. Provide implementation strategies for the reduction of the community’s operational GHG emissions from “business-as-usual” by 30% at buildout; iii. Establish this plan to provide implementation strategies in order to exceed 2008 Title 24 requirements by 30% for residential development and 15% for commercial development; and iv. Establish flexible, achievable and measurable performance standards that will accommodate future technologies and alternative implementation strategies that will change and improve over time. 2. Technical Introduction a. Purpose There is an overwhelming consensus within the scientific community that the Earth’s climate is changing. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that the Earth’s “surface temperatures have increased by about 0.74°C over the past hundred years.” 1 The IPCC has concluded that it is “very likely that the observed increase in methane concentration is due to anthropogenic activities.” 2 1 Trenberth, K.E., P.D.

Manning, 4-196 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN In response to these findings, the State of California has identified statewide greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions as a priority. This Climate Action Plan (CAP) introduces the issue of climate change and identifies the GHG emissions associated with Travertine Point (Project). The purpose of this CAP is to establish:  A GHG emissions baseline based on current business-as-usual (BAU) model;  Goals and objectives that reduce GHG emission below the BAU model;  Specific and measurable performance standards that the Project must achieve; and  An implementation mechanism that allows the County of Riverside to review future development within the Project and enforce the performance standards. The Project, based on a GHG analysis of the current commitments made in the Travertine Point Specific Plan (No. 375), will exceed the BAU model by 30%. b. Legislative Background i. Executive Order S-3-05 On June 1, 2005, the Governor of California signed Executive Order S-3-05 which identified climate change as a threat and established the following State GHG reduction targets: ─ By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; ─ By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels; and ─ By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. 1 To meet the State GHG reduction targets, the executive order directed the California Environmental Protection Agency to coordinate with representations from other state agencies, which led to the formation of the Climate Action Team (CAT). ii. Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32) On September 27, 2006, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) was approved by the Governor and directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to “adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions levels in 1990 to be achieved by 2020.” 2 Z. Chen, M. Marquis, K.B. Averyt, M. Tignor and H.L. Miller (eds.)]. Page 3.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Source: California Energy Commission, 2007 Integrated Energy Policy Report (December 7, 2007) iii. Climate Change Scoping Plan On December 12, 2008, the CARB approved the Climate Change Scoping Plan. The Scoping Plan, which was developed in coordination with the CAT, called for and defined that “[r]educing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels means cutting approximately 30 percent from business-as-usual emission levels projected for 2020, or about 15 percent from today’s levels.” 1 iv. Climate Action Team The CAT is responsible for reporting on the progress made toward meeting the statewide GHG reduction targets that were established in Executive Order S-3-05 and AB 32. In March, 2006, a CAT Report was published which quantifies the above-stated GHG reduction targets. c. Quantitative Summary As shown, the State produced approximately 427 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mmtCO2e) in 1990. 2 The CARB estimates the State produced approximately 500 mmtCO2e in 2007. Under a business-as-usual (BAU) forecast without implementation of any of the measured identified in the Scoping Plan, the CARB projects 596 mmtCO2e by 2020. 3 Therefore, the State will need to achieve a 29% reduction from BAU 2020 levels to meet 1990 levels. Consistent with the State’s approach, the Applicant has committed to a 30% GHG reduction below projected BAU development. 1 California Air Resources Board: Climate Change Scoping Plan. Page ES-1.

Action Category Goals This chapter establishes goals in four action categories:  Building and Energy Efficiency;  Transportation Emissions Reductions;  Water Efficiency; and  Waste Reduction and Recycling. Sections 3.2 through 3.5 describe the scope of each goal, including implementation strategies, and provide measurable performance standards that set forth specific actions to be provided by the Applicant. Section 3.6 establishes the process for review and enforcement of performance standards by County staff. As discussed in the “Quantitative Assessment of Operational Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions Resulting from Travertine Point’s Sustainability Initiatives” (October 21, 2009) prepared by Symbiotic Engineering, (Attachment A), this Climate Action Plan reduces the Project’s projected GHG emissions by 30% below the “Business As Usual” (BAU) baseline model.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN b. Building and Energy Efficiency i. Objectives The following objectives have been adopted to address the goal of Building and Energy Efficiency:  Concentrate appropriate, dependent, and related land uses in close proximity to each other;  Permit a full array of land uses (including residential, commercial, employment, community, recreation, and entertainment);  Provide a balance of employment and housing within each phase of the Project;  Provide community amenities or “third places” at locations convenient to residents;  Provide community facilities and services such as parks and schools, as well as neighborhood commercial uses such as markets, within walking distance of residents;  Require the coordination of joint-use of parks and schools;  Permit mixed-use developments;  Permit a variety of housing types and densities within the same neighborhood;  Provide on-site affordable housing;  Allow continuation of existing agriculture;  Provide measures that mitigate the “heat island” effect;  Require energy-efficient building construction practices;  Require the use of energy-efficient building materials;  Utilize energy-saving HVAC systems;  15.Utilize energy-saving lights, fixtures, and appliances; and  16.Provide on-site renewable energy sources such as solar power. Building and Energy Efficiency will be met through a commitment to community design, efficient energy use, renewable energy, and heat island mitigation strategies. To meet the goal of “Building and Energy Efficiency,” the Project incorporates 17 performance standards that, together, reduce the Project’s GHG emissions associated with building and energy use by approximately 52% below the BAU baseline model. ii. Implementation Strategies The following strategies have been developed as an “implementation toolbox” for the Project. The purpose of this Section is to provide a general overview of the current GHG reduction strategies that may be incorporated into the Project to achieve the Building and Energy Efficiency performance goal. Community Design Land Use Plan – The overall Land Use Plan for Travertine Point has been designed to provide a variety of uses to create a self-sufficient master planned community that reduces the amount of vehicular travel and associated reductions in green house gasses. Travertine Point includes land uses for a wide variety of housing products, employment, shopping, and community facilities. 4-200 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Walking Distance – Complementary land uses within the Town Center area of Travertine Point have been located and designed in close proximity to encourage non-vehicular travel and promote walking and bike riding to and from the higher density residential, commercial retail, office, and mixed uses. Residential walking distance is usually defined as within a one-quarter to one-half-mile radius. Energy Use Lighting – The dark sky concept shall apply to residential and commercial developments will incorporate fluorescent, LED, low pressure sodium, and outdoor solar lighting fixtures that reduce energy demand and heat generation associated with typical incandescent lighting fixtures. All light fixtures shall be designed for dark sky applications, and adjusted to direct / reflect light downward, roads and streets, and away from any adjoining open space, residences, or other uses not directly requiring lighting. Energy conservation, safety, and security should be emphasized when designing any lighting system. Appliances – Energy Star-rated appliances, including dishwashers, refrigerators/freezers, and clothes washers and dryers, will be required that result in a 10% to 50% reduction in energy and water compared to standard models. Heating and Cooling – Heating and cooling account for over half of the energy use in a typical home. Energy Star-rated heating and cooling systems will be specified to provide reduced energy consumption. Heat pumps are one of the most efficient methods of heating and cooling. Water Heaters – A wide variety of water heater technologies will be specified that provide energy savings over traditional water heaters. These include tankless, heat pump, and solar water heaters and the possibility of geothermal heating. Programmable Thermostats – Programmable thermostats will be specified that allow the user to adjust the temperature within the structure during preset times, such as during the day and night or at times when the structure is unoccupied, to reduce heating and cooling costs. Windows – Windows can provide additional insulation for the building. Techniques will be utilized in window construction that include double or triple panes, Low E Glass, architectural shading, and/or window tinting. These techniques reduce the amount of heat or cool air loss within the structure and allow for more efficient air and heating systems. Ducts – Air leaks within a home or business can significantly reduce the efficiency of heating and cooling systems. These leaks can occur in a variety of locations especially duct work; therefore ducts will be sealed to provide maximum efficiency. Insulation – Thermal insulation provides resistance to heat flow. The more resistance the insulation provides, the lower the heating and cooling costs. Insulation's resistance to heat flow is measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance or R-value. Insulation requirements will be established for exterior walls, floors, and ceilings. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-201 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Radiant Barriers – Radiant barriers will be installed in structures − most commonly in attics − to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, which helps lower heating and cooling costs. The barriers will consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. Renewable Energy Solar – Solar power is the result of converting sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly by concentrating solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun's energy to boil water which is then used to generate power. Solar water heating can also be utilized to heat water for energy savings The Specific Plan will provide for solar power systems to be utilized on rooftops or in separate facilities in both residential and commercial applications, and to supplement traditional energy systems.. Because of its geographic location and meteorological conditions, Travertine Point provides significant opportunities for the use of solar power. Wind Power – Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as electricity, using wind turbines. Wind power is used in variety of locations throughout the world, typically in areas that receive a sustained wind presence. Additional studies may be needed to determine if wind power is appropriate or feasible for Travertine Point. Geothermal Energy – Geothermal energy is extracted from heat generated and stored in the earth. This energy originates from the formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. Additional studies may be needed to determine if geothermal energy is appropriate or feasible for Travertine Point. Heat Island Mitigation Heat Island – A heat island is an urban area that is significantly warmer that it’s surrounding rural or open space areas. The temperature difference is usually larger at night than during the day. The main cause of the heat island is modification of the land surface by urban development − primary building materials such as concrete and asphalt which effectively retain heat. Removal of vegetation also increases the heat island effect by reducing evapotranspiration in urban areas. Heat island effect can be counteracted by using white or reflective materials on buildings, roads, and other pavements. Additional techniques include the use of landscape vegetation and green roofs. iii.

Transportation Emissions Reductions i. Objectives The following objectives have been adopted to address the goal of Transportation Emissions Reductions:  Provide Route for Public Transit System;  Provide Safe Bikeways that Encourage Bike Transportation;  Create a NEV-Friendly Community;  Utilize Roundabouts; and  Provide Accessible Walkways and Pedestrian Paths that Encourage Walkable Streets and Trails. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-205 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Transportation Emissions Reductions will be met through a commitment to project design features, neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), and roundabouts. To meet the goal of “Transportation Emissions Reductions”, the Project incorporates 15 performance standards that, together, reduce the Project’s total GHG emissions associated with transportation emissions by approximately 14% below the BAU baseline model. ii. Implementation Strategies The following strategies have been developed as an “implementation toolbox” for the Project. The purpose of this Section is to provide an overview of the current GHG reduction strategies that may be incorporated into the Project to achieve the Transportation Emissions Reductions performance standards. Transit Plans – A comprehensive Transportation Plan has been provided for Travertine Point that incorporates a variety of alternative components, including provisions for bus and shuttle routes and transit node locations, Class I and II bicycle trails and lanes, pedestrian paths, and provisions for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV). These components will result in reduced use of gas-powered automobiles with associated reductions in green house gasses. Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) – Neighborhood Electric Vehicles are battery-powered, low-speed electric vehicles that can be recharged. NEVs have a top speed of approximately 20 to 25 miles per hour and can be operated on public and private roadways that have a maximum speed limit of 35 miles per hour. These vehicles are typically used for short trips around the community, such as to the workplace, shopping districts, and entertainment venues. To further increase the usability of these vehicles, separate transportation lanes can be created adjacent to roadways that exceed a maximum of 35 miles per hour, similar to bikeways. The use of highly- efficient electric vehicles reduces the energy required to complete these trips and minimizes the fuel waste and cold-start emissions that occur when traditional gas-powered vehicles are used for short trips. Roundabouts – Roundabouts are intersection alternatives to standard signalized and stop sign intersections, which provide improved traffic flow, minimize idling time, and reduce accelerations/decelerations. Studies show that drivers will save an average of 43,000 gallons of fuel per year per roundabout which will also reduce green house gas emissions. Trail Plans – In addition to the provision of transit alternatives and NEVs, Travertine Point provides for bikeways, pedestrian paths, and trails throughout the Project, and access to trails along the trail/residential interface shall consistently provide for pedestrian, bicycle and/or NEV access at frequent locations where feasible to provide for efficient alternatives to vehicular routes to expand the range of transportation modes that do not rely upon the automobile. 4-206 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN d. Water Efficiency i. Objectives The following objectives have been adopted to address the goal of Water Efficiency:  Provide for Dual Piping System for Domestic and Reclaimed Water;  Require the Use of Smart Irrigation Systems, or equivalent;  Provide a Water Conservation Landscape Palette;  Require Water-Efficient Fixtures; and  Limit the Use of Turf. Water Efficiency will be met through a commitment to low water use and dual pipe water systems. To meet the goal of “Water Efficiency”, the Project incorporates eight (8) performance standards that, together, will reduce the Project’s total GHG emissions associated with building and energy use by approximately 50% below the BAU baseline model. ii. Implementation Strategies The following strategies have been developed as an “implementation toolbox” for the Project. The purpose of this Section is to provide an overview of the current GHG reduction strategies that may be incorporated into the Project to achieve the Water Efficiency performance standards.  Irrigation Water – Travertine Point will provide a separate “dual-piped” water system that will include a potable water (i.e., drinking water) system and a non-potable water system for landscape irrigation purposes. The irrigation water system may utilize treated Colorado River water, reclaimed water, perched ground water, and/or a combination of these sources. This system will reduce the potable water requirements for the Project, as well as provide opportunities for use of reclaimed water.  Water-Efficient Devices – Low-flow plumbing fixtures – including toilets, faucet aerators, and showerheads – can reduce water usage by as much as 40 percent over conventional devices.  Smart Irrigation – A smart irrigation controller is like a high-tech “brain” for irrigation systems that self-adjusts based on real-time weather and site conditions, including rainfall, wind, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and soil type to apply just the right amount of irrigation water needed at just the right time. Studies show that a smart irrigation controller can reduce irrigation water use by 25 percent on average.  Drought-Tolerant Landscaping – Drought-tolerant landscaping utilizes drought-tolerant plants which require less water than non-drought-tolerant plants. Many drought-tolerant plants are also tolerant of poor-to-average soils, some of which even prefer poor soils. The use of this landscaping can further reduce the overall water requirements for Travertine Point. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-209 4.

Objectives The following objectives have been adopted to address the goal of Waste Reduction and Recycling:  Encourage recycling construction materials and waste;  Comply with on-site recycling trash program;  Process green waste on-site; and  Recycle e-waste. Waste Reduction and Recycling will be met through a commitment to recycling and processing some waste materials on-site. To meet the goal of “Waste Reduction and Recycling”, the Project incorporates 7 performance standards that, together, will reduce the Project’s total GHG emissions associated with building and energy use by approximately 30% below the BAU baseline model. ii. Implementation Strategies The following strategies have been developed as an “implementation toolbox” for the Project. The purpose of this Section is to provide an overview of the current GHG reduction strategies that may be incorporated into the Project to achieve the Waste Reduction and Recycling performance standards.  Waste Reduction – Waste is material and supplies that are paid for, and subsequently rendered useless. Reducing waste reduces needless consumption. Reducing needless consumption preserves renewable and non-renewable resources, which conserves energy and reduces air pollution, soil and water contamination that is often caused by the production of those materials and supplies that become waste, and from the fossil fuel- powered vehicles that deliver those materials and supplies, then and hauls away those materials and supplies after they become waste. Reducing waste also reduces the use and size of landfills.  Recycling – Recycling is the practice of recovering used materials from the waste stream, and then incorporating those same materials back into the manufacturing and use process. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-211 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN  Construction and Demolition Waste – Construction and demolition waste can be recycled and reused in a Construction Waste Management Plan utilizing job-site recycling programs.  Residential and Commercial Recycling – Comprehensive programs addressing residential and commercial recycling activities can be addressed in an overall Waste Management Plan.  Organic Wastes – Organic wastes can be recycled into useful soil amendments and fertilizers through the use of composting. This can be accomplished by individual homeowners or through community composting stations. iii.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.12 DESIGN GUIDELINES 4.12.1 Introduction The purpose of the Design Guidelines is to ensure that future projects and site development maintain the same high standards of aesthetic quality, appearance, and sustainability throughout the development lifetime of Travertine Point. Travertine Point contains three categories of design guidelines – Community Design, Landscape Design, and Architectural Design – that establish the overall aesthetic standards of the Specific Plan area. These three categories support one another and at times overlap in similar areas of focus and objectives. Adherence to these guidelines will ensure that the quality of design and aesthetic character is maintained throughout the Specific Plan area at the implementation stage, regardless of the project, the applicant, or the timeframe. Community Design Guidelines establish the direction for builders and developers to create aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces for the residents of the Specific Plan. The guidelines establish a quality living environment that respects the scenic beauty of the natural environment and creates a pedestrian-friendly community. The direction provided establishes an overall aesthetic characteristic for the Specific Plan to ensure that quality development evolves and links the land use and planning areas cohesively. Landscape Architectural Design Guidelines create the thematic thread of landscape features throughout the Specific Plan. These design elements bind the Districts and Planning Areas into common themed areas. Each District has a specified landscape zone theme that provides guidance based on the natural terrain and resources in the area. These theme zones are the Foothill Zone, the Upland Zone, the Riparian Zone, and the Lakeshore Zone. The design guidelines also establish the thematic character of the major backbone roads to ensure that the aesthetic threads between the neighborhoods and districts are consistent. Architectural Guidelines establish the direction for quality architecture throughout all land use designations of the Specific Plan. They establish the context, characteristics and building criteria for subsequent development and building stages, ensuring that residential and commercial buildings maintain consistently high quality, does not limit design creativity, and avoids a “cookie cutter” appearance throughout the Specific Plan area. Realizing that economic and real estate market changes will occur over the life of the Specific Plan build-out, the guidelines embrace appropriate building forms – avoiding “box-like” design, offering a variety of architectural styles, diversifying the appearance of the community, and allowing unique characteristics for individual neighborhoods. The Travertine Point Design Guidelines embody a comprehensive system of architectural and landscape design standards that establish and reinforce the themes suggested by the Travertine Point Specific Plan. A unified design theme helps create cohesiveness and a sense of place, and when implemented, will provide a balanced and responsive solution to the enhancement of the community. This establishes the characteristics and charm of the Travertine Point community. 4-216 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN The Design Guidelines serve the following functions:  Establish architectural and landscape thematic directions for Travertine Point;  Assist project designers in preparing land plans and final project designs through community design elements, architecture and landscape architecture guidelines; and  Provide property owners with direction, to aid in maintaining a high level of community cohesiveness and unity, while allowing for a degree of personal expression as well as community growth. All design issues, including access and circulation, visibility, building orientation, and lighting and landscaping standards, shall be reviewed through tract maps, plot plans, and design review as submitted to the County. The design concepts and associated community design guidelines are intended to encourage quality development. Although general in nature, a brief overview of the design concepts follows to provide a background for the interpretation of the community design and architectural style. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-217 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.13 LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES The Travertine Point Specific Plan creates a community with a consistent overall theme to provide quality residential, commercial, and recreational opportunities in a unique setting that integrates the site’s natural features and the built environment. These guidelines set a direction for the implementation of distinctive, high-quality residential, mixed-use, commercial, recreation, and open space development. These guidelines shall form the basis and criteria for the evaluation of plans and specifications submitted for review and approval by the County. All site development plans, landscape implementation plans, and graphic designs shall comply with the intent of these guidelines. The sketches and graphic representations contained herein are for conceptual purposes only, and are designed as general visual aids in understanding the basic intent of the guidelines and to represent examples of their potential implementation. They are not meant to depict any actual lot or building design. The landscape design guidelines and the Master Landscape Plan for the Travertine Point Specific Plan will ensure a cohesive, high quality and recognizable aesthetic by providing an overall design direction for the community, bringing order and continuity to the street scene, and emphasizing a sense of place. 4.13.1 General Landscape Guidelines Exhibit 4-11, Landscape Master Plan, for common areas, parkways, and median treatments is established for Travertine Point to: 1. Provide thematic continuity throughout Travertine Point; 2. Complement a variety of architectural styles and themes; 3. Help identify entry into various Districts and neighborhoods of the community; 4. Provide direction as to the sense of place to motorists within Travertine Point; 5. Systematically reinforce the understanding of circulation hierarchy and different land uses; 6. Landscape foundation planting shall be incorporated at the base of all residential, commercial retail/office and mixed-use buildings where appropriate, to soften hardscape and building edges; 7. All site furnishings within the project shall be consistent in appearance, style, and color. Benches, trash receptacles, shade structures, and other hardscape components should be selected to maintain a complementary style for the site; 8. The Proposed Plant Palette is designed to provide flexibility and diversity in the landscape, promote water conservation measures for irrigation, and emphasize the use of indigenous desert vegetation and low-water demand plants, while limiting the palette of primary plants to give unity and thematic identity to the Specific Plan area. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes; 9. Promote water conservation by education and public awareness of the use of water-efficient landscaping, wise and minimal use of turf areas and appropriate use of irrigation technology and management; and 4-218 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 10. All public, commercial, and common area landscaped areas should implement water-efficient irrigation techniques such as, but not limited to: a. Use of native Mojave and / or Anza Borrego Desert plants low water use, or drought tolerant plant species grouped to their water, soil, sun and shade requirements in relationship to buildings; b. Tree planting shall be used to provide shade for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to soften the visual mass of buildings. It is also the intent to improve landscaping in order to provide minimum 60% shade coverage for public gathering spaces such as pedestrian plazas or courtyards, and minimum 20% shade coverage for sidewalks, or pedestrian pathway areas. A mix of evergreen and deciduous trees should be used to provide natural cooling for the purpose of energy and water conservations as well as to provide year-round screening at solid, blank walls, and seasonal-interest at pedestrian nodes. In addition to tree plantings, other shade structures may be used to provide cover for outdoor pedestrian use areas such as building awnings, trellises, or bus shelters, in order to comply with the shade percentages recommended above. (See Section 4.13.4.9 for more detail regarding shade requirements for uncovered parking areas.) c. Natural soil amendments such as compost shall be provided to improve water holding capacity of soil, where soil conditions warrant. Where appropriate, a minimum of two inches of mulch shall be added to the soil surface after planting. d. Turf areas shall be limited to common areas and appropriate use corridors where it serves multipurpose and must be in areas where public uses on grass will be prevalent such as recreational activities. Turf should not be used in parkways or street median islands. e. The use of appropriate irrigation equipment such as drip irrigation, bubbler, spray heads, and/or rotor irrigation heads to provide the most efficient water application. “Smart Irrigation Controllers” using weather based technology, or equivalent are highly recommended and should be utilized when and wherever feasible. f. Water systems designed to utilize non-potable water shall be designed to meet all applicable standards of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Riverside County Fire and Health Departments. 11. The proposed reservoir system should employ the use of multiple layers of water quality management systems and treatment processes (BMPs) to facilitate water quality improvement, which include: Reservoir water quality measures (biofilters and aeration); Urban stormwater runoff controls (water quality filters and wetland planter areas); retention of dry weather runoff and detention of storm water runoff prior to being released to the drainage channels that empty into the Salton Sea. 12. District Landscape Zone Distinction - The Master Landscape Plan establishes a community-wide theme to ensure the cohesive aesthetic quality by providing the overall design direction through the use of order and continuity to street themes, community monumentation and lighting. Travertine Point’s Landscape Zones offer physical landscape design features that define the District’s subtle distinctions, creating recognizable sense of place for each zone. Exhibit 4-19, Upland Zone Landscape Concept Plan, Exhibit 4-20, Foothill Zone Landscape Concept Plan, Exhibit 4-21, Riparian Zone Landscape Concept Plan, and Exhibit 4-22, Lakeshore Zone Landscape Concept Plan, illustrate the direction for four landscape zones that differ through the emphasis of plant materials and plant associations, and reflecting their geographic context including Upland Zone, Foothill Zone, Riparian Zone, and Lakeshore Zone. District plant communities, themed tree 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-219 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN plantings along SR 86, vertical landmarks, district monumentation, and color palettes provide the elements that will create each zone’s distinct theme. (See Exhibit 4-30, Monumentation Plan). a. Upland Zone – This district is themed with “park” features and landmarks, including vertical tree stands, cultural preserve park and multi-use greenbelts. (See Exhibit 4-19, Upland Zone Landscape Concept Plan). b. Foothill Zone – This district is themed to define a “resort” lifestyle and mixed use recreation facilities with visible elements such as palms along the highway, vertical architecture at gathering places and enriched way finding monumentation. (See Exhibit 4-20, Foothill Zone Landscape Concept Plan). c. Riparian Zone – This district is themed with an “Audubon” character, featuring wildlife and riparian elements and accents. The landscape community along the highway suggests a strong natural quality and buffer. (See Exhibit 4-21, Riparian Zone Landscape Concept Plan). d. Lakeshore Zone – This district is themed with elements related to the Salton Sea and aquatic recreational opportunities. The perimeter landscape community and way finding monumentation will suggest the presence and access to the sea and its’ natural resources. (See Exhibit 4-22, Lakeshore Zone Landscape Concept Plan). 13. Lighting - The implementation of the Travertine Point Specific Plan will be accomplished in a manner that is consistent with the mission of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) “…to preserve and protect the nighttime environment and our heritage of dark skies through quality outdoor lighting.” a. Goals i. Prevent the adverse effects of light pollution, including;  Energy waste, and the air and water pollution caused by energy waste  Harm to human health  Harm to nocturnal wildlife and ecosystems  Reduced safety and security  Reduced visibility at night  Poor nighttime ambience; and ii. Raise awareness about light pollution, its adverse effects, and its solutions; and iii. Educate about the values of quality outdoor lighting. b. The purpose of the dark sky guidelines is to: i. Permit reasonable uses of outdoor lighting for nighttime safety, utility, security, and enjoyment while preserving the ambiance of the night; ii. Curtail and reverse any degradation of the nighttime visual environment and the night sky; iii. Minimize glare and obtrusive light by limiting outdoor lighting that is misdirected, excessive, or unnecessary; iv. Conserve energy and resources to the greatest extent possible; v.

Practical Considerations: i. The idea that more light always results in better safety and security is a myth. Only the right amount of light, in the right place, at the right time is needed. More light often means wasted light and energy. ii. Use the lowest wattage of lamp that is feasible. The maximum wattage for most commercial applications should be 250 watts of high intensity discharge lighting should be considered the maximum, but less is usually sufficient. iii. Whenever possible, turn off the lights or use motion sensor controlled lighting. iv. Incorporate curfews (i.e. turn lights off automatically after a certain hour when businesses close or traffic is minimal). d. Lighting Requirements i. Maximum lamp wattage and required luminaire or lamp shielding lighting installations shall be designed and installed to be fully shielded (full cutoff), except as in exceptions below, and shall have a maximum lamp wattage of 250 watts for commercial lighting, 100 watts incandescent, and 26 watts compact fluorescent for residential lighting.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.14 COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENTS Community Design Elements are major project improvements that occur at the community or neighborhood level and combine improvements and thematic elements to unify the project under a common design emphasis. The streetscape and monument plans developed consistent with this theme, are integrated with each other, and is consistent throughout the project area using landscape and hardscape treatments. The community design elements are contained in the sections that follow:  Streetscapes  Entry Monumentation  Edge Conditions  Project Walls and Fences  Community Facilities 4.14.1 Streetscapes Streetscapes are created by the relationship between street scale, buildings and structures, landscaping, signs, street furniture, public art, adjacent land uses and view sheds or focal points. These community elements provide the connections between physical land uses and features. Conceptual roadway landscape treatments that represent the street classification hierarchy established by the Travertine Point Specific Plan are depicted in Exhibit 4-23, Streetscape Cross-Section Reference, Exhibit 4-24, Town Center Way, Exhibit 4- 25, Jewel Street Section, Exhibit 4-26, Gateway Street Section, Exhibit 4-27, Village Way Section, Exhibit 4- 28, Bayside Way Section, and Exhibit 4-29, Paseo Street Section. The streetscape hierarchy establishes the 4-236 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN function and character for the backbone streets of Travertine Point as summarized below and as described in more detail in Section 4.14.2, Streets.  Town Center Way – This urban arterial loop street connects the major uses of the Town Center in the heart of the community and provides access from Highway 86S.  Jewel Street – This modified collector street traverses both the west and east portions of Travertine Point, connecting many of the residential neighborhoods.  Gateway Streets – These two urban arterials connect the Town Center to the adjacent mixed-use and higher density residential areas to the north of Town Center Way.  Village Way – These two roadways, one on either side of Highway 86S, extend north from the Jewel Street to connect to Avenue 81 at or near the north boundary of the Specific Plan.  Bayside Way – This modified collector street provides the primary access to the resort and marina area on the Salton Sea from Town Center Way and Highway 86S.  Paseo Streets – These modified minor collectors are relatively shorter segments providing connections from many residential neighborhoods to the larger components of the backbone circulation system. Streetscape design should achieve the following objectives: 1. Provide a transitional space between the street and adjoining land uses that reduces heat island effects. 2. Create a themed aesthetic transition between individual neighborhoods. 3. Create visual interest and identity by incorporating street patterns with continuous parkways and themed landscaping. 4. Direct traffic to the highway system as directly as possible. Overly circuitous street patterns should be avoided. 5. Encourage pedestrian movement by providing attractive shaded parkway paths. Provide parkway separations between roads and sidewalks to distance pedestrians from moving vehicles. Include signage monumentation nodes for pedestrians that support way finding. 6. Encourage traffic calming and reduced speeds using “neckdowns” or chokers at intersections (see also Town Center Guidelines for additional detail). 7. Utilize grading techniques, landscaping and architectural treatments to soften walls along major streets, add interest to long transit corridors and allowing frequent pedestrian access from and between communities. 8. Meet the functional requirements established in the land use and circulation elements of the Specific Plan.

Signs should fulfill identification, directional, informational, and temporary marketing needs without being obtrusive. Design, colors, and materials shall reflect related landscaping and architectural features. 13. Lighting should be designed to provide a hierarchy of size and intensity while following the lighting requirements within this Specific Plan and consistent with the intent of the International Dark-Sky Association principles. 14. Street furniture, including seating or shade structures, shall be designed and constructed. 15. Items such as shaded benches, transit stops, and lighting features shall compliment the parkway landscape treatment and architectural features of the community in order to achieve visual continuity in accordance with County and / or Sunline Transit Authority standards. 16. Major roads shall incorporate a recognizable planting scheme utilizing dominant theme trees, interspersed with accent trees at focal points and entryways to provide visual interest and create a shady tree canopy over time, reducing the community’s heat island effect. 17. Local, interior roads shall incorporate a formal planting scheme utilizing dominant theme trees interspersed with accent trees at intersections and focal points to provide visual interest. 18. Landscape medians shall be designed to unify the landscape of the community using hardscape and landscape elements to break up the monotony of an otherwise plain roadway while creating a traffic calming effect. Medians shall not include any turf, but shall include use of indigenous rocks and provide a “mow strip” adjacent to the curb in the form of cobble stones, pavers, or other similar material. 19. All roads should include separated pedestrian walkways not adjacent to the curb. 20. Street trees should be pre-selected to provide a shady canopy over the street, while within the scale of the street. Trees or other plantings from the proposed plant palette that are substantial in size and or quantity can create a focal point for the community and create way-finding elements as the community develops, creating community and District identity. 21. Tree root barriers should be used in all locations where trees are immediately adjacent to public paved areas. 22. The hardscaping, street furniture, plant palette and landscaping of the roadways and trail systems should utilize a unifying element(s) such as using the indigenous rock materials, or colored or stamped concrete, that should be the thread that ties the community together.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.14.4 Edge Conditions (Land Use Transition) In order to create a high quality, environmentally sensitive and aesthetically pleasing community, the Travertine Point Specific Plan proposes transition treatments that are intended to:  Use existing or man-made conditions to separate and buffer potentially conflicting land uses.  Establish techniques for linking natural and manmade conditions, such as edge treatments between open space and development. 1. Residential/Mixed-Use Transition Landscaping shall be designed to separate the non- residential land uses from adjacent residential neighborhoods, as appropriate due to design and land use. Special attention will be given to the placement of loading areas and the design of rear facades facing residential areas. Assurances are to be made for providing pedestrian friendly and sustainable landscape transitions. 2. Residential/Drainage Edge Condition Travertine Point has several drainage channel edges that abut residential land uses. The Travertine Point drainage course edges will receive a landscaping treatment that will be predominantly native, drought tolerant plantings along its interior to occasional small pockets that may use a less restrictive plant palette where it interfaces with residential areas and/or major roads. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly trail system and landscaped edge where feasible to create a multi function channel that provides recreation, preservation, and storm water collection opportunities. Example of Edge Interface between Open Space and Streetscape 4-266 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 3. Residential/School and Park Edge Condition Planting for the transition and fencing shall be provided to create a physical and visual separation. These features should provide an aesthetically pleasing perimeter to the school or park to adjacent home sites. 4. Open Space Corridor/Residential Interface The edges will receive a landscaping treatment which shall transition from native, drought tolerant plantings along its interior to more enhanced pockets using a less restrictive plant palette where it interfaces with residential areas and/or major roads. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-267 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.14.5 Community Walls and Fencing Community walls and fencing consist of those which face public streets or view corridors or are constructed on public facilities in relation to public uses. They will form a portion of the community’s perimeter and distinguish the Travertine Point Specific Plan from neighboring communities by utilizing a unifying element such as utilizing the local rock material or possibly emphasize the community’s agricultural heritage as a theme. Refer to Exhibit 4-32, Wall and Fence Concept Plan and Exhibit 4-33, Wall and Fence Images. The photos should not be construed as the exact wall and fence height, color and material, but should be used as a preferred example. 1. Wall and Fence Concepts The following types of walls (solid and opaque) and fences (open and largely transparent) have been selected for possible use within different areas of the project site. A Wall and Fence Plan should be provided for review and approval at time of development submittals. 2. Community Walls a. Community walls and or green (living) fences shall be constructed at the rear and side of lots abutting the project's major thoroughfares. The intent of the Specific Plan is to minimize or eliminate walls and fencing along the adjacent natural open space areas. A community wall or fence may also be constructed along some portions of the project's perimeter and along the trail/residential interface consistently providing, for pedestrian, bicycle and/or NEV access at frequent locations where feasible to provide for efficient alternatives to vehicular routes. b. Solid walls of masonry with masonry or cut stone pilasters, or compatible materials, shall be used predominantly for these walls. Open view fencing shall be used where a developer or builder proposes fencing along the community’s open space edge. Typical walls are depicted on Exhibit 4-33, Wall and Fence Images. c. Community fencing in areas where side and rear lots abut natural view corridors, wrought iron, or tubular steel/aluminum, type fencing of a high quality may be constructed unless a solid wall is determined necessary to ensure privacy, however, these barriers are not necessarily required and direct access from residential areas may be permitted. 3. Block Wall Block walls are generally located between each of the different land uses, except for land use areas directly adjacent to an open space. Residential lots abutting a backbone roadway shall have a block wall if required for privacy or sound attenuation. All residential land use areas bordering Highway 86S shall have a block wall for privacy and sound attenuation. Walls are not required, but may be used for the open space lots, mixed-use, regional commercial, mixed use non-residential and business park. 4-268 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4. View Fence A view fence is considered to be wrought iron, tubular steel/aluminum, on top of a low block wall. View fences shall be used if a barrier is proposed where residential land uses abut open spaces and drainage corridors. It is important to provide view fences where opportunities of aesthetic views can be acquired. 5. Wall and Fencing Plan a. The design, location, and materials of all on and off site fencing, freestanding walls, and retaining walls should be compatible with the architectural content of their location. b. Openings or view fencing shall be used where feasible to provide views into and out of the project sites or allow for pedestrian access. c. The exterior of all walls facing the public or private streets shall be graffiti-proofed. d. All fencing shall be painted or otherwise sealed to reduce water damage. e. All walls shall be decorative in design with decorative cap and pilasters. f. Wood shall not be used for any fencing. Various recycled materials may be used for interior rear fencing and interior side returns. g. Temporary construction types of chain link fencing for permanent use are not acceptable in areas exposed to public view. h. Sound attenuation walls shall be decorative masonry and at appropriate locations. Suitable materials should be used to protect views in situations where sound attenuation is also required. 4- 2 7 0 T ra v e r t i n e P o i n t S p e c i f i c P l a n N o . 3 7 5 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.do c 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.14.6 Site Amenities and Landscape Lighting 1. Site Amenities Concept Site furnishing is an integral component of design and should be carefully located within a designed space. Site furnishing in public spaces should complement the adjacent architecture. Shade structures, awnings, and/or umbrellas for tables and chairs are highly recommended for areas of public use. An eclectic blend of metal, stone, rock, concrete, masonry and wood furniture is proposed throughout Travertine Point. Examples of site furniture are shown on Exhibit 4-34a and Exhibit 4-34b, Typical Site Furnishings. Specific amenities (tables, chairs, benches, umbrellas, drinking fountain, trash receptacles, etc.) will be included with the submittal of the construction drawings and specifications for all public parks and facilities. Manufacture, make, model, and color shall be provided in the construction drawings and specifications. Bus shelters should be thoughtfully located along all bus routes. Bus shelters will include an overhead structure for shade, bench seating and should be ADA accessible in accordance with County and / or Sunline Transit Authority standards. The overall bus shelter design and material for seating should be consistent throughout Travertine Point. Information kiosks should be considered within the Town Center, Retail Spaces, and Resort areas. The kiosks should be located in highly visible areas and the design should complement the architecture with shade features. Mailboxes for residential areas should be clustered units and approved by the United States Postal Services. The mailboxes should be highly durable, have a high level of security to prevent identity theft and should be easily accessible for the user. A decorative surround should be design around the mailbox cluster units that is complimentary to the architecture. A Mailbox Location Plan during the submittal of the construction drawings should be provided to U.S. Postal Service for review and approval. Decorative pottery should be selected for all public spaces. The selection of the pottery should complement the space as well as the adjacent architecture. Permanent irrigation shall be designed for potted plantings in public spaces. 4-274 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 2. Landscape Lighting Concept a. Landscape lighting shall be coordinated to provide a consistent lighting character that is harmonious with the adjacent architecture. The following list of guidelines is recommended when designing and selecting landscape fixtures. Examples are provided on Exhibit 4-35, Street Lighting and Signage. b. Landscape lighting should be limited to low, indirect sources. All fixtures should be placed in a manner to avoid glare when observed from the street and other public areas maintaining at all times a dark sky theme consistent with the Specific Plans lighting requirements and the IDA recommendations. c. Fixtures for lighting architectural elements or landscape objects should be concealed and glare eliminated. Light fixtures should be concealed in the landscape and fixtures should be aimed away from observers to prevent glare. Junction boxes should be concealed within the landscape planting or below ground if, applicable. d. Driveway or pathway lights should have a high degree of light shielding to prevent glare. e. All light fixtures shall be designed for dark sky applications, and adjusted to direct/ reflect light downward, roads and streets, and away from any adjoining open space, residences, or other uses not directly requiring lighting. Energy conservation, safety, and security should be emphasized when designing any lighting system. f. All lighting will be analyzed during the development review process to reduce light spill-over or glare adjacent to open space and natural open space areas. A dark sky concept will be put into the projects CC&Rs. 4- 2 7 6 T ra v e r t i n e P o i n t S p e c i f i c P l a n N o . 3 7 5 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.do c 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 3. Planting Zones and Plant Palettes Travertine Point is divided into 8 different planting areas, within 4 different types of zones. These zones are Riparian Zone, Lakeshore Residential Zone, Upland Residential Zone, and Foothill Residential Zone. The landscape planting shall provide a rich variety of plant material, consistent with the character of each area. Plant material should be thoughtfully selected for each area to provide continuity throughout the community. Landscape foundation planting shall be incorporated at the base of all residential, commercial retail/office, resort and mixed use buildings where appropriate, to soften hardscape and building edges. Tree planting shall be used to soften the visual mass of buildings. A mix of evergreen and deciduous trees should be used to provide year-round shade and screening at solid, blank walls, and seasonal interest at pedestrian nodes. To achieve an aesthetic quality and diversity in the landscape, the use of drought-tolerant, non- invasive, native Coachella Valley, and indigenous (Mojave or Anza Borrego desert) plant material shall be incorporated. On-site boulders should be taken into consideration for all parkway and median landscape areas. Refer to Tables 4-11a through 4-11f, Proposed Plant Palettes, for selected plant material for specific areas. 4-282 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.15 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES Travertine Point is envisioned as a New Town founded on sustainable principles, providing an opportunity for an enhanced quality of life and guided by economic feasibility. The creation of Travertine Point takes in consideration of the rich cultural heritage of the area, the uniqueness and beauty of the Salton Sea, the varying terrain of the site, the climate of the region and the linkage of Highway 86S. The architectural and planning design guidelines are statements which describe the character and quality of development that is desired for Travertine Point. The guidelines address issues, which are primarily aesthetic in nature and subject to a variety of solutions. People differ in their interpretation of what constitutes aesthetic design in particular circumstances, and flexibility is permitted to encourage design innovations and changes in design standards that occur over time. For these reasons, rigid adherence to each guideline is not intended. Rather, it is intended that as development occurs, design solutions will be evaluated for conformance to the general intent of applicable design guidelines and to the Specific Plan Objectives. These guidelines give specific direction as to styles and themes of development, yet are general enough to allow the individual developer and/or builder flexibility to interpret changes in consumer tastes and market conditions. The guidelines will provide Travertine Point and the developers with a comprehensive set of guidelines and conditions for guiding the preparation of the more site specific design guidelines which will accompany each phase’s development application and subdivision map process. 4.15.1 Location and Linkage of Neighborhoods The following guidelines provides Travertine Point with an integrated, community-wide system of trails, bikeways, and pathways that provide pedestrian, bicycle and NEV connections from residential areas to neighborhood parks, schools, and nearby commercial areas: 1. Concentrate development near proposed transit stops. 2. Encourage connectivity by limiting distance between intersections to a maximum of 300 feet. 3. Desired walking distance to local transit stop should be ¼ mile. 4. Desired walking distance to regional transit stop should be ½ mile. 5. Encourage a diversity of supporting uses within a ¼ mile of a transit stop. 6. Provide opportunities for non vehicular transportation such as walking, biking, public transit and NEVs. 7. Provide a network of bike ways with bike amenities such as racks, lockers and changing stations. 8. Bike racks and or lockers should be located within 100 feet of a building entrance. 9.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.15.5 Single Family Detached and Attached The following residential guidelines encourage street scenes that function well with visual interest and are a primary community objective for Travertine Point. Attractive and comfortable street scenes with pedestrian-oriented spaces are created by implementing “architecture forward” practices, a variety of garage placements, and encouraging “corner home sites” for front and side orientation of building features. Typically, residential plans are to be reversed and plotted so that garages and entries are adjacent to each other to create an undulating setback. This pattern should be changed to avoid a monotonous street scene. 1. A variety of architectural styles are encouraged within the Travertine Point Community to provide an identity, sense of place and to add interest to the fabric of the overall community. Styles should not only respond to current taste, but respect the historical heritage of the region and the site natural characteristics. The following styles are recommended but not limited to, Spanish Colonial, California Ranch, Southwest, Desert Contemporary, Spanish Eclectic, Monterey, Mediterranean, Tuscan, etc.) and diversity within these styles are encouraged. Authentic expression of styles and building articulation, as well as other exterior elements that add interest (such as balconies and decks), are also encouraged. 2. Entries to major residential development should be visually reinforced through techniques such as broader setbacks, landscape treatments, and monument signage and/or pavement details. 3. Articulation and modulation of building masses and elevations to avoid the appearance of box like buildings. 4. Compatibility with neighborhood development in density, scale and street facing elevations. 5. A desirable scale and relationship to the pedestrian street scene is achieved by avoiding large building masses. 6. Richness and variety to the overall mass of the building is encouraged by vertical and horizontal variations. 7. Homes should have a well-defined entry with defined roof and façade articulation to create visual interest and scale. 8. Front elevations and sides of residences should be detailed and articulated with walls should be designed with changes in plane or other forms of articulation such as bay windows, chimneys, trellises or changes in materials as authentic to each architectural style. These features will create depth and interest on building façades. 9. Balconies, decks, and exterior stairs should be designed as integral components of the structure and should reflect the style of the home to break up large wall masses, offset floor setbacks, and add human scale to buildings. 10. Covered front porches and sitting areas at the front of houses are encouraged as appropriate for the architectural style. 11. Entries and window on street facing elevations to visually open the house to the neighborhood. 12. Orientation to desirable sunlight and views. 13. Require that residential front setback and other area visible from a public street be attractively landscaped. Appropriate Architecture with Articulation, Porch, and Varied Roof 4-312 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 14. Architectural treatment of all elevations visible from public places and is detailed further in the following section. 15. Elevations Subject To Public View Elevations that are within public view are very important in establishing the identity, character and quality of neighborhood and the community of Travertine Point. These elevations are viewed in three ways. The most typical public view elevation is the front elevation, but other public elevation includes, side elevation of corner lots and upper rear elevation along parcel edge. a. Corner Homes All corner homes shall have building articulation and materials that continue from the front façade around to the side façade of the home. b. Streets and Private Drives and Alleys The width and depth of streets and/or private drives within the Residential Land Use designations shall be subject to County Standards and the review and approval of the County during the development application process. The street design shall be planned throughout the development, allowing for sufficient on-street parking for guests. Private drives shall be limited in length and shall include adequate width to provide sufficient emergency access. It is planned that narrower streets will encourage more intimate neighborhood living spaces. c. Single-Story Elements Single story homes, when part of the builder’s product program, are encouraged to be plotted as often as feasible on visible perimeter conditions and on corner locations is provided in building height. On two-story dwellings, single story elements should be used to provide articulation and visual interest to the rear or side elevation. d. Varying Rear Setbacks No more than three adjacent dwellings may have the same rear setback; otherwise, an additional offset is required. The additional setback may be achieved in one of two ways: i. Offset wall planes on an individual house. ii. Staggered rear setbacks on adjacent homes with offset. e. Variation of Roof Planes Varieties of roof forms are encouraged using gable, cross-gable, hip, and shed elements. Ridgelines of adjacent residences should be in different directions to the extent feasible. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-313 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN f. Architectural Enhancements The rear or side of elevations visible from perimeter to edge conditions shall be sufficiently articulated to provide visual interest, including: Required: On elevations subject to public view, provide detailing of the second floor and/or corner lot side elevations with materials, color, window surrounds, and changes in wall planes as appropriate to style. and Select at least three of the following:  Offset wall planes  Roof Plane Breaks.  Color Blocking.  Shutters on second story windows when accompanied by corresponding pot shelf with minimum 12-inch projection (not permitted on the Craftsman style) or other ornamental window treatment.  Introduction of accent building materials and colors.  Introduction of accent elements such as clay vents, out-lookers, and decorative grille work consistent with the front elevation.  Other similar features that provide articulation to the visible side or rear elevation. g. Massing and Floor Plan Form i. Employ variation in massing, height, and garage placements between plans to achieve diversity in the street scene. ii. Appropriate massing, architectural elements, and roof lines/pitches should be consistent to establish clearly identifiable styles. iii. Boxy two-story building forms without architectural articulation that overwhelm the street scene are discouraged. h. Balcony Design Balconies as part of the building façade consistent with the architectural style is encouraged in some for both aesthetic and practical reasons. As well as providing outdoor living areas and elevated private spaces for individual homes, they are useful in breaking up wall planes, offsetting floors, creating human scale and adding visual interest. i. Covered and open balconies may be recessed or projected element. ii. Balconies should be an integral element, with details, eaves, supports, and railings, in keeping with the overall architectural style of the building. Various Architectural Element Examples – Balcony, Canopy, Archway 4-314 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN i. Roof Design i. Roof elements detail and slopes shall be consistent with architectural style of the building. ii. Broken roof pitches extending over porches, patios or other similar features are encouraged where appropriate to the architectural style. iii. Gambrel and mansard roof forms are prohibited. 2. Exterior Materials and Finishes a. Materials and Details The character and style of homes should be established primarily using massing, roof forms, and key architectural elements. Appropriate secondary character elements, detailing, and accent materials also provide an effective means of reinforcing and enhancing character and style interpretations. The materials and finishes should be authentic to the architectural style. Key elements are those primary architectural features of the home that clearly discern one style from another. Secondary elements and details are identified as those that help to reinforce or enhance an already identifiable style. Key or Primary elements are:  Doors and Entries  Windows  Roof Materials  Color  Accent Materials  Wall Finishes  Exterior Stairs Inappropriate Design: Example Gambrel Roof Inappropriate Design: Example Mansard Roof 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-315 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Front Entry Door, Entryway, Courtyard, and Detail Examples b. Doors and Entries Building entries represent an important point of interface between public and private spaces typically creating the initial impression for the user and a focal point for the viewer. Doors and windows, including garage doors, are a major visual element and should be carefully chosen and detailed. All inhabited spaces shall employ energy-efficient windows on exterior walls. Front doors and associated entry spaces should thereby be treated with a sense of importance and detailed to emphasize their location and purpose. In designing the door and entry space of homes, the following guidelines shall be observed: i. Multi-paned doors are encouraged, with internal grids in doors and windows where appropriate for the architectural style of the structure. Entry doors should incorporate architecturally compatible relief detailing. Garage doors may incorporate window inserts to allow natural light into the garage. ii. Design of door and entry spaces shall be consistent with the architectural style of the home. iii. Doors shall be protected by a deep recess, porch, or other covered element. iv. Door and entry spaces shall reflect a level of detail appropriate to their function and architectural style. c. Windows i. Windows with divided lights and clear glazing are most desirable. Silver or gold metal frames with large unbroken expanses of glazing and dark tinted or reflective glass are not recommended. ii. Proportions and alignment shall be consistent to individual style. iii. Shutters shall be sized proportionally to complement windows. iv. Style-appropriate grates, shutters, and tile surrounds are encouraged. v. Full window trim is encouraged on visible elevations. 4-316 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN d. Exterior Light Fixtures Exterior light fixtures shall be selected to conceal the light source, lamp, or bulb. Recessed canister lighting or fully shielded fixtures are required. The appearance of exterior light fixtures should be appropriate to the style, character, and color of the home. Exterior light fixtures are required at each garage located on a private drive. These fixtures can be either recessed canister lighting or fully shielded fixtures. e. Roof Materials i. Roof materials, colors, and treatments should correspond to the individual character or style of the home or building and be compatible with the overall look of the neighborhood. ii. Concrete or clay tiles may be used appropriate to the style of home. f. Chimneys i. Chimneys shall be consistent in style and compatible in design, material, and color with the building. ii. Chimney caps should be compatible with the architecture of the building and shall be approved as part of the fireplace assembly, pursuant to the local fire code. Exposed fire arrestors are prohibited. g. Color A variety of natural looking materials and colors provide the diversity required for visual interest while unifying the homes with their settings. The primary purpose of color selection is to provide a variety of colorful schemes, and promote visual diversity. To further this diversity, the following criteria shall be met: i. Each elevation shall have a minimum of three colors (Four is preferred. For example, one body color, one trim color and one accent color.) ii. Individual color schemes must be appropriate to the architectural styles with a harmonious selection of accent materials, roof profiles, and colors. iii. All color changes shall occur on an inside corner or coincide with an architectural element/massing change that conceals their meeting point. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-317 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN h. Accent Materials Accent materials shall enhance and reinforce the architectural style and composition of individual homes and provide variety in the street scene. Selective use of appropriate materials, color, and placement can provide maximum impact while providing a sense of unique character to each home. i. Accent materials shall terminate at inside corners or coincide with an edge or architectural element to conceal changes in material. Where views are limited or edges concealed by an architectural element, accent materials may terminate at privacy wall conditions. ii. Natural stone, approved manufactured or cultured stone, painted or natural brick, precast concrete, ceramic tile, wrought iron, slump block, and horizontal or vertical wood siding (or approved manufactured siding, i.e., cementitious board) are encouraged. iii. Accent materials shall be selected to complement the overall color and style of the home or building. i. Wall Finishes Style-appropriate wall finishes shall visually enhance individual homes. The use and placement of extreme contrasts in color and/or materials should be carefully considered in order to maintain a compatible overall look throughout the neighborhood. Footings shall be exposed no higher than 6” above finished grade. Permitted finishes and other similar finish shall include: i. Stucco - light to medium sand finish (“Spanish Lace” finish is prohibited) ii. Exposed masonry walls (brick, slump block, etc.) iii. Stone, brick, adobe, brick veneers (accent materials) iv. Horizontal plank siding (concrete material is permitted) v. Board and batten siding (concrete material is permitted) j. Gutters and Downspouts Exposed gutters and downspouts shall be colored to compliment or match fascia or accent trim color(s). k. Exterior Stairs Stairs should be compatible in type and material to the deck and landing. Use of open stair treads can only be justified where the balcony or landing element projects out from the main wall of the building. l. Mechanical Equipment Mechanical equipment shall not detract from the architectural design of the home. Special care should be taken to ensure that all mechanical equipment including junction boxes, trash 4-318 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN receptacles, and air conditioners are properly screened from public view via walls, enclosures, etc. i. Air conditioning units shall not be placed in the front yard. Ground mounted air conditioning units shall be located behind side-yard privacy return walls. ii. Mechanical equipment such as air conditioners, heaters, evaporative coolers, and other devises shall not be mounted on roofs. iii. Mechanical devices such as exhaust fans, vents, and pipes shall be painted to match roof surfaces. iv. The placement of mechanical equipment within side yards shall not restrict pedestrian access in emergency situations. Mechanical equipment may be accommodated within the rear yard with minimal impact on yard use and layout. v. Trash enclosures should be covered and be designed with the same architectural theme of multi-family style buildings. 3. Single-Family Residential Garage Placement and Treatments a. De-Emphasis of Garages The home and front yard should be the primary focus of the front elevation. This should be considered when plotting homes to create an attractive street scene. The impact of repetitive, street-facing garages can be reduced by using the following techniques: i. Vary garage door pattern, windows and/or color as appropriate to individual architectural styles. ii. Garage door colors should complement or blend with existing color schemes and style of the home. iii. Alternate plans with different garage placements when plotting adjacent homes. iv. Garage door windows should be of an opaque material. v. Provide split and offset garages where possible. b. Garage Placement Garage placement shall vary within conventional front loaded neighborhoods to create a lively street scene. Standard minimum setbacks shall be maintained for each garage treatment. In each conventionally subdivided neighborhood, a minimum of three different garage placements are required: i. Forward Garage — Forward garages are located at least 5 feet in front of the front elevation living space. ii. Flush Garage — Flush garages are located 3 feet behind or in front of the front elevation/living space. iii. Shallow-Recessed Garage — Shallow recessed garages are located 5 feet or more behind the front elevation / living space. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-319 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN iv. Mid-Recessed Garage — Mid-recessed garages are located 10 feet or more behind the front elevation/living space. v. Deep-Recessed Garage — Deep-recessed garages are located 20 feet or more behind the front elevation/living space. vi. Swing-In Garages — Home plans that feature attached, swing-in (“side–loaded”) garages are encouraged. This garage placement may be located at the front, side, or rear of a plan or split, thereby reducing the impact of garage door faces on the streetscape. The resultant street-facing wall shall be articulated with the same level of detail as the front façade of the home including windows, trim etc. vii. Corner with Side-Street Entry Garage — This garage type allows the option of entering from the side street, thereby eliminating the front facing garage and driveway. c. Three-Car Garage Requirements i. Three-Car Garages — When three-car garages are planned, split, swing-in and tandems are encouraged. Three-car garages may be located forward of the house or recessed. Garages with three cars should have at least two doors, split, or off-set by at least two feet. ii. Tandem Garage — When a three-car garage is planned, the impact on the streetscape can be reduced by constructing the additional car bay in tandem behind the standard two-car garage door. Tandem garages should not be swing-in and not located forward of the front façade of the main residence. d. Driveway Criteria i. When a garage or carport does not have a direct, straight entry from a public or private street or drive (e.g. side entrance garage), the driveway providing access to the entrance of the garage shall have a minimum 24-foot backup area. ii. When the vehicular entrance into a garage or carport faces directly onto a public street, said garage or carport shall be set back at least 20 feet from the street-side property line. iii. All driveways, except circular driveways, shall provide access to parking spaces located outside the required setbacks. iv. Driveways shall not exceed 50% of the lot width at the front setback. For single-family lots, no less than 2 feet of landscaping shall be provided between driveway and any interior side property line.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Example of public view of private drive loaded garage. Garage does not front street. e. Private Drives and Alleys Although private drives or alleys are thought of as merely a transitional vehicular space, they also provide garage and pedestrian access, trash collection and other daily utility uses. Homeowners may experience them as often as the front entries to these homes. Therefore, when designing private drives, there are both functional and aesthetic issues to be considered. It is the intent to provide a pleasant experience for daily users by incorporating both in the elements of private drive design. Garages facing private drives should be set back from the alley to facilitate ease of vehicular movement and provide relief from an otherwise continuous line of garage doors meeting the hard drive plane. This setback allows some planting between the drive and the building faces, softening and interrupting the view of hard surfaces. Private drives lined with homes that have similar or identical façades, setbacks, rooflines, color schemes and landscape treatments are monotonous and lack individual identity. This condition is not permitted. In order to avoid this, the following requirements should be met: i. Avoid a multi-storied, “canyon-like” effect within the private drive by providing varied massing and rooflines, vertical and horizontal offsets of primary architectural elements. All drive apron and building separation setback requirements shall still be maintained, (see Development Standards for specific product requirements/setbacks). ii. Articulate building elevations with style-appropriate window trim, elements and details. iii. Vary garage door appearance by using door patterns, colors, and windows as appropriate to individual architectural styles and/or adding perpendicular trellis elements above or at the sides of garage doors. iv. Design and locate rear privacy walls and pedestrian gate entries to provide ease of access to the rear yard, allow sufficient dimension for landscape requirements and screen trash can storage from private drive view. v. Provide sufficient lighting for safety and security in private drives. vi. Garages and driveways should be designed to create non-repetitive and interesting streetscapes. Garages can either be attached or detached, creating a design consistent with the main structure. For buildings and garages that face streets or internal roadways, long, blank building walls shall be avoided when possible, as well as long rows of garage doors. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-323 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN vii. Garage doors should appear to be set into the walls rather than flush with the exterior wall to provide shadow relief. Garage door design should be kept simple and consistent with the architectural style. viii. The garage is encouraged to be recessed from the front of the main structure. ix. All garage doors shall be roll-up style. x. Detached garage architectural styles shall be the same as the main structure with similar articulation, relief, and detailing. xi. Placement of detached structures must respect the site and consider effects on surrounding properties. 4. Exterior Architectural Lighting Design a. Light fixture selection must be compatible with the architectural character of the building. b. The color, size, and number of fixtures should be carefully considered to enhance the residential environment. These elements should not overpower the desired subtleties of the neighborhood. Pole supports should be of a dark finish to reduce glare. c. The use of low voltage lighting is encouraged wherever possible. d. All exterior lighting shall be unobtrusive and designed to avoid glare or spillover onto neighboring homes. All fixtures shall be selected and arranged to direct illumination downward. Security lighting, where necessary, shall be hooded, recessed, or located in such a manner it only illuminates the intended area. e. All lighting shall be hooded and avoid spill over into open space and natural areas. 4-324 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN Example of Wrap-Around Porch and Front Porch 5. Porch Design Substantial overhangs are encouraged. The inclusion of covered porches and entries expand sheltered living spaces, create entry statements, and provide building elevation relief. Covered porches may differ from the roof in both pitch and material. Where a porch is included as a single story element, it is desirable for the following design dimensions to be present: a. Front porches should have a minimum of 6-foot depth and cover 1/2 the width of the front living area façade. b. Side porches on corner units should be a minimum of 5 feet in depth. c. Side porch length should be a minimum of 10 feet measured from front corner of porch. d. Eaves should be a minimum of 12” or 18” deep, as appropriate to style. 6. Private Open Space Homes shall have private open space. This private open space can include porches, entry courts, patio areas behind garden walls, and areas behind six (6) foot high walls. Private open space areas should be provided to serve as an “outdoor room” or area that avoids long, unusable spans of space. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-325 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.15.6 Multi-Family Residential The same principles and guidelines from single family development shall apply to multi-family structures. These guidelines are intended to ensure that multi- family residential development will not produce monotonous and repetitive appearances. Location, along with functional design elements and recreational opportunities, encourages efficient living environments that are integrated with its surrounding uses. 1. Multi-family residential should be located near services such as commercial, mixed use, public transportation and or services. 2. Treatment of the elevations of buildings facing public streets and pedestrian pathways should be the principal facades with respect to architectural treatment to achieve the highest level of urban design and neighborhood quality. 3. Architectural treatment of building elevation and modulation of mass to convey character of separate living units or cluster of living units, avoiding the appearance of a single building volume. 4. Architectural embellishments that add visual interest and create relief to long straight lines are consistent to the architectural character and style is encouraged. These include dormers, canopies, masonry chimneys, cupolas, and other similar elements. 5. Rooflines shall be broken and varied within an overall horizontal context. Varying plate and ridge heights are encouraged. 6. Provide street and path facing elevations with high quality doors, windows, moldings, metalwork finishes. 7. Raise ground floor residential uses above sidewalks for privacy and security but not so much that pedestrian face blank walls or look into utility areas or parking spaces. 8. Use roof overhangs, wing wall and other architectural features to enhance energy conservation. 9. Modulate roof profiles to reduce the apparent scale of larger structures and to provide visual interest and variety. 10. Roof equipment should be screened from public view from street. 11. Encourage stoops and porches for ground floor residential units facing public street and pedestrian ways. 12. Incorporate usable and functional private open space for each unit. 13. Incorporate common open space that creates a pleasant living environment with opportunities for recreation. 14. Recreation areas/greenbelts features should be visible upon entry to neighborhoods to enhance neighborhood value. 15. Design covered and enclosed parking areas to be integral with the architecture of the residential units. 16. Parking areas should be screened through the use of berms, landscaping, “headlight” walls, or a combination of these.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.15.7 Commercial This section includes design guidelines for commercial development to encourage the creation of pleasant pedestrian- oriented commercial and retail environments. These elements include generous street landscaping, and maximized pedestrian access to commercial uses such as restaurants, retail store fronts and other services. Commercial site design and architectural criteria are as follows: 1. Architecture shall respond to the public street by incorporating elements relating to the pedestrian scale. 2. Treatment of ground floor of buildings to promote pedestrian activity by avoiding long, continuous blank walls, incorporating extensive glazing for transparency, and modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest. 3. Clear identification of storefront entries. 4. Incorporation of signage that is integrated with the building architectural character. 5. Extensive on-site landscaping, including mature vegetation to provide a tree canopy for shading. 6. Incorporation of plazas and expanded sidewalks to accommodate pedestrian outdoor dining and other activities. 7. Clearly delineated pedestrian connections between business areas, parking, and to adjoining neighborhood and districts (paving treatment, landscape, and way finding signage). 8. Use of attractive roof forms is highly encouraged. 9. Buildings with facades parallel to the street are highly encouraged. Long unarticulated facades and roof forms shall be avoided. 10. Storefront facades, recessed doorways, outdoor spaces, passageways, and arcades shall be lit. Lighting fixtures shall be located and angled to ensure that they highlight tenant’s merchandise, but do not point toward the storefront window or cause distracting reflections. 11. Use of attractive, durable, high quality, weather resistant materials shall be required for all visible and/or weather exposed surfaces on the building exterior. 12. Integrally colored inorganic materials, such as brick, concrete, stone, copper, and anodized aluminum are encouraged. 13. Subdued colors, not specifically limited to earth tones, are encouraged.

SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN 4.16 PROJECT ADMINISTRATION 4.16.1 Specific Plan Implementation Measures 1. District Refinement Plan Requirements The Travertine Point Specific Plan addresses a very large area, some 4,900 acres, and includes more than 75 individual Planning Areas. The buildout of the community is forecasted to be approximately 35 years. Four Specific Plan Districts are identified to group planning areas into more manageable and comprehendible geographic areas. Districts 1 through 4 are identified on Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan. Each District Map identifies the Land Use designation for each planning area along with regulatory development standards. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines to provide community wide architectural and landscape concepts to establish direction for future development. The design guidelines also provide the character concepts of the community that use effective building solutions that minimize impacts to the environment and energy resources. In order to provide current design details for each Specific Plan District, the Developer shall prepare a District Refinement Plan (DRP) that will be required to be processed with a Specific Plan substantial conformance application before any development application can be approved within any District. A DRP may be processed concurrently with any planning development application or subdivision map. The primary intention of the Travertine Point DRP process is to outline District land uses, provide design details and correlate appropriate infrastructure requirements for District development. The DRP will outline elements of the District as follows: a. Introduction b. District Land Uses and Product Descriptions c. Circulation d. Parks e. Landscape Features and Trails f. Reservoirs g. Grading h. Infrastructure improvements  Drainage and flood control  Water  Dry Utilities i. District Theme and Design Goals  Architectural Styles  Street Landscaping and lighting  District Entries/Signage  District Landmarks  Walls and Fencing 4-338 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN This section also sets forth several implementation measures that are applicable throughout the entirety of the Travertine Point Specific Plan area. These measures are as follows: 1. The development of the property shall be in accordance with the requirements of applicable Riverside County or Imperial County Ordinances, as the case may be, and state laws, unless modified by this Specific Plan. Property development should conform substantially with this approved Travertine Point Specific Plan, as filed in the offices of the Riverside County Planning Department and Imperial County Planning Department, unless otherwise amended. 2. Prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of any use contemplated by this approval, the applicant shall first obtain clearance from the Riverside County Planning Department or Imperial County Planning Department, as the case may be, verifying that all pertinent conditions of Specific Plan approval have been satisfied for the phase of development in question. 3. An environmental assessment shall be conducted for each development application review process such as, subdivision map, plot plan, site plan, conditional use permit, change of zone, specific plan amendment or any other discretionary permit required to implement this Specific Plan. At a minimum, the environmental assessment shall utilize the evaluation of impacts addressed in the Specific Plan's Environmental Impact Report. 4. Employment Generation - Non-residential square footage shall be built and occupied per Development Phase in conjunction with residential development will be required in order to provide a reasonable amount of new jobs that will be generated within the Specific Plan area. Delivery of employment development square footage will start slower in earlier phases and will accelerate during later phases. The estimated amount of job creating non-residential development may occur within any phase and at any time as long as it meets the minimum residential development thresholds as identified below: a. Prior to the issuance of building permit for the 2,422 residential unit, 27,225 s.f. of non- residential development is required to be built and occupied. b.

The respective County's standard environmental review procedures shall be followed. 1. Minor Modifications – Certain minor modifications and/or interpretations to provisions in the Specific Plan may be made administratively by the respective County Planning Director, subject to appeal to the respective County Planning Commission and subsequently, the respective County Board of Supervisors. Such interpretations that are in substantial conformance with the intent of the Specific Plan do not require additional public hearings and/or further environmental review, unless the proposed action would result in a new or more severe impact than disclosed in the Specific Plan EIR. These minor interpretations may include but are not limited to: a. The addition of new information to the Specific Plan maps or text that does not change the effect of any concepts or regulations. b. Changes to the community infrastructure, such as drainage, streets, water, and sewer systems which do not have the effect of increasing or decreasing development capacity in the Specific Plan area, nor change the concepts of the Specific Plan. c. Land use area acreage adjustments for acreages shown on Table 4-12, Land Use Plan Statistical Table, by no more than ten percent of the affected area. d. Other items determined to be appropriate by the respective County Planning Director. 4.16.6 Adjustment/Transfer Provisions This section sets forth the regulations governing Planning Area boundary and acreage adjustments, transfers of dwelling units and non-residential building square footage, and conversions from one land use designation to another which are permitted by the Specific Plan. The adjustment, transfer, and conversion regulations are intended to provide flexibility in the implementation of the Travertine Point Specific Plan. This flexibility is needed for several reasons. Refinements to the Planning Area boundaries and acreages may occur with future specific project design and more detailed subdivision mapping and engineering. Precise Planning Area boundaries will be established by the processing of a Change of Zone application. Additionally, over the long term build out period of the Specific Plan area, there may likely be several technological, economic, social, and / or environmental changes to which the Specific Plan should properly 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-345 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN respond. This could result in the need for a somewhat larger or smaller commercial areas, or changes in the amount and / or types of residential units within specific Planning Areas. To facilitate the on-going documentation of boundary and acreage adjustments, dwelling unit and non- residential building square footage transfers, and land use designation conversions, the Specific Plan Monitoring Program provides the Land Use Plan (Exhibit 4-0) and the Land Use Plan Statistical Table (Table 4-12). The Land Use Plan and Land Use Plan Statistical Table are the record-keeping devices of the Travertine Point Specific Plan. This primary monitoring mechanism will ensure the builders, the respective County and the Master Developer that the adjustments, transfers, and conversions made to the Planning Areas do not exceed either the maximum units or the maximum non-residential building square footage for individual Planning Areas, or the total planned dwelling units and total planned non-residential building square footage designated in the Land Use Plan Statistical Table. Any combination of the adjustments, transfers, or conversions may be implemented with respect to a given Planning Area; however, a Land Use Plan and Land Use Plan Statistical Table shall be submitted to the Riverside County Planning Department or Imperial County Planning Department, as the case may be, with each subdivision map to be processed, and are required at such time as any of the adjustment, transfer, or conversion provisions set forth in this section are implemented, even if no subdivision is processed. 1. Adjustments and Transfers a. District Boundary, Planning Area Boundary & Acreage Adjustments District boundaries have been utilized within this Specific Plan to facilitate the ongoing documentation of Planning Area land use, boundaries, acreages, dwelling unit, and non- residential building square footage. Specific Planning Area boundaries shall be established by a Change of Zone. A subdivision map submittal incorporates this adjustment, typically in conjunction with a Change of Zone application. Final Planning Area boundaries are established by the Change of Zone. As part of this process the current Land Use Plan and Land Use Plan Statistical Table acreages as spelled out in the Specific Plan may be adjusted without necessitating a Specific Plan Amendment provided that each Planning Area affected by the boundary adjustment must retain a minimum of eighty percent (80%) of the original total gross acreage and cannot exceed 120% of the original gross acreage approved under the Specific Plan. (For example, an original 100 gross acre Planning Area could be adjusted to a maximum of 120 gross acres or to a minimum of 80 gross acres; concurrent revision to a 50-acre Planning Area could result in a revised maximum 60 acres or a minimum 40-acre Planning Area). Should an adjustment revise a Planning Area boundary by more than 20%, then approval of a formal Specific Plan Amendment will be necessary. Additionally, should a Planning Area boundary be co-terminus with a zoning district boundary, and the Planning Area boundary is modified, a revised legal description for the zoning district boundary shall be included in the Planning Area boundary adjustment. Updates to Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan, Table 4-12, Land Use Plan Statistical Table and legal description for zoning boundary (in the event a Planning Area boundary is co-terminus with a zoning district boundary) must be submitted to the Riverside County Planning Department or Imperial County Planning Department, as the case may be, for each proposed subdivision map and Change of Zone application as determined applicable by the County. 4-346 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN b. Transfer of Dwelling Units between Planning Areas The transfer of dwelling units between Planning Areas is permitted, subject to the following conditions: i. The transfer of dwelling units between Planning Areas shall not result in an increase in the total number of planned units permitted in the Travertine Point Specific Plan (12,300 dwelling units). ii. In conjunction with any application for subdivision or other discretionary review, a Land Use Plan (shown on Exhibit 4-0, Land Use Plan), and a Land Use Plan Statistical Table (Table 4-12) shall be submitted by the applicant, having been approved by the Master Developer, to the Riverside County Planning Department or Imperial County Planning Department, as the case may be,. The revised Land Use Plan and Land Use Statistical Table shall be submitted in a format whereby County staff need only file the information for County record keeping purposes. 2. Land Use Conversions a. Right to Farm Provisions i. The Travertine Point Specific Plan encompasses approximately 4,918 acres of land in Riverside and Imperial Counties. A significant portion of that land – more than 3,000 acres – is currently in active agricultural production. The Specific Plan contemplates the eventual conversion of the land from agricultural use to suburban/urban development over a period of two or three decades. This conversion of land use will likely commence on an incremental basis with the completion and approval of subsequent implementation plans for the initial development phase of the community. This stage of the entitlement and implementation process is anticipated to take two or three years after the approval of the Specific Plan. The conversion of land from agricultural to urban use will happen gradually as the project is developed in multiple phases over time. ii. During this time period of the implementation and development of the Travertine Point community in accordance with the Specific Plan, it is advisable and necessary to provide for the continuance of existing agricultural uses, in conformance with the Riverside County Right-to-Farm Ordinance No. 625.1. The Specific Plan recognizes existing agricultural operations as legal, non-conforming land uses that shall be allowed to continue. A proposal to improve, enhance, intensify and/or expand an existing agricultural operation1 shall be subject only to the approval of the Travertine Point Property Owners Association, provided that no existing residential use is located closer than three hundred (300) feet of said operation or proposed expansion thereof. Should an existing agricultural user propose any intensification or expansion of any current operation that is, or would be, located closer than three hundred (300) feet of an existing residential use, said application for intensification or expansion shall be subject to a Conditional Use Permit. 1 Excludes agricultural operations under Williamson Act contract or any other County Ordinance applicable to agricultural activities. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-347 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN b. Williamson Act Contract Lands Lands that are subject to active agricultural preserve contracts under the Williamson Act will be regulated by the County of Riverside Agriculture General Plan and Zoning standards until the agricultural preserve contract has been removed by an official filing of notice of non- renewal, or actual cancellation. Upon this filing, the underlying land use designations will be in affect per the Travertine Point Specific Plan land use designations and regulations. 3. Agricultural Buffers The right of land owners to continue their existing agricultural operations must not be impinged. Conversely, the health and welfare of residents living in new neighborhoods must not be compromised by the potential effects of nearby existing agricultural operations. a. To ensure the compatibility of active agricultural land uses and proposed sensitive-receptor land uses consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations of the Specific Plan Transitional Agricultural Buffers shall be required where necessary. Sensitive-receptor land uses include residential, schools, hospitals and medical care facilities, active parks (including playgrounds, tot lots, and sports fields/courts). Where a subsequent development application consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations of the Specific Plan includes any sensitive-receptor land use a Transitional Agricultural Buffer of one hundred-fifty (150) feet minimum horizontal setback shall be maintained from any parcel with an existing less intensive active agricultural use. Less intensive agricultural uses include row crops, grapes, dates, citrus, grains, grasses, grazing, equestrian, aquaculture, and the like. In most instances Transitional Agricultural Buffers will be temporary in nature as the existing agricultural will eventually be converted to urban development. b. More intensive active agricultural uses, such as dairy farms, shall require a Transitional Agricultural Buffer of five hundred (500) feet minimum horizontal setback. c. All Transitional Agricultural Buffer setbacks shall be measured from the parcel line of the offending use to the structure or active use area of the sensitive-receptor parcel, except as may be modified below. d. Where a Transitional Agricultural Buffer is required, the setback shall be wholly maintained on the parcel for which the application containing the sensitive-receptor land use(s) is made; unless the owner of the property containing the active agricultural operation agrees to accept some or all of the required setback on his property through grant of an easement and agrees to remove and/or desist from using that land for agricultural production in perpetuity. 4-348 Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc 4. SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE PLAN e. Where a Transitional Agricultural Buffer has been previously established and the agricultural use that necessitated said buffer is permanently removed from agricultural operation – through contract, covenant, or jurisdictional approval for a permanent change to a non-agricultural use – the Transitional Agricultural Buffer may be eliminated and the land within the setback area may remain as open space or be developed for urban use consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations of the Specific Plan, including sensitive-receptor uses. f. All Transitional Agricultural Buffers shall be landscaped. g. Non-sensitive land uses consistent with the underlying land use and zoning designations of the Specific Plan including commercial retail, commercial office, institutional (excepting hospitals and medical care), commercial tourist, business park, drainage facilities, utilities, roads, trails and passive open space shall not require Transitional Agricultural Buffers. 4_lu_4th_admin_draft_submittal.doc Travertine Point Specific Plan No. 375 4-349 4.

A baseline community GHG inventory, based on Travertine’s design, would be estimated to have operational GHG emissions of approximately 294,4002 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (mtCO2e) per year including emissions from mobile sources, natural gas combustion, electricity use, and water supply. Natural gas and electricity consumption in residential and commercial buildings, mobile source emissions from community transportation, and emissions related to the energy consumption for water supply comprise 99% of the community’s operational GHG emissions and are the focus of this analysis. The following analysis seeks to quantify the anticipated GHG emissions related to Travertine’s proposed sustainability initiatives that go beyond the calculations for a baseline community. Table 1 summarizes the potential GHG emissions reductions by category. The calculations and assumptions used to develop the values in Table 1 are detailed in the main sections of the report. Table 1.

The potential reductions are summarized in Table 2 and are discussed in further detail in the following sections. Table 2.

This calculation assumes building energy exceeds Title 24 2008 standards by 30% in the residential sector and by 15% in the commercial sector. Community Design Electricity and natural gas consumption in residential and commercial buildings account for approximately 26% of Travertine’s anticipated GHG emissions3. The Travertine community, with its design incorporating medium to high density residential areas and specific commercial sector functions, can be compared with a community that would meet average California residential and commercial electricity (5,914 kWh/yr residential, 15.58 kWh/sf/yr commercial) and natural gas use as estimated in the California Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan4 and in the 3 See Appendix A for details on community energy consumption calculations. 4 California Public Utilities Commission, “California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan: Achieving Maximum Energy Savings in California for 2009 and Beyond,” September, 2008, Available Online: http://www.californienergyefficiency.com Last Accessed: July 2, 2009. 4845 Pearl East Circle, Ste 101 “How do you Define Green?” Office: 303-579-4198 Boulder, CO 80301 Fax: 303-417-6385 www.symbiotic-engineering.com info@symbiotic-engineering.com California Climate Action Registry5 reporting protocol. It is estimated that Travertine’s residential electricity use will be approximately 67.7 million kWh per year compared with 72.7 million kWh per year for a baseline community and commercial electricity use will be reduced from 53.0 million kWh per year to 48.5 million kWh/yr. Using a greenhouse gas emission factor of 0.33 kg CO2e/kWh4, it is anticipated that Travertine will save approximately 3,200 mtCO2e/yr (8%) based on the design of the residential and commercial sectors compared with a baseline community. Exceeding Title 24 The baseline community design calculations are based on average consumption factors that assume meeting the 2005 Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. Travertine’s energy use based on community design can be further reduced by setting mandatory energy efficiency standards for the residential and commercial buildings that surpass Title 24 standards. A baseline community of Travertine’s size in the same climate zone would be expected to emit approximately 76,300 mtCO2e/yr from the consumption of natural gas and electricity. The community design discussed in the previous section reduces projected emissions to 73,100 mtCO2e/yr. Travertine is proposing to set standards of exceeding 2008 Title 24 standards by 30% in the residential sector and by 15% in the commercial sector. It is estimated that the 2008 Title 24 standards exceed the 2005 Title 24 baseline by 15-20%6. Reductions in electricity and natural gas consumption from meeting the above stated goals of exceeding 2008 Title 24 standards by 30% in residential and 15% in commercial are expected to lead to GHG reductions of approximately 31,500 mtCO2e/yr. Meeting Travertine Energy Needs with Renewable Energy Travertine’s operational GHG emissions can be further reduced compared with the emissions of a baseline community if a portion of the community’s electricity and natural gas requirements are met with renewable energy. Travertine’s sustainability strategies propose that 80% of the residential buildings will meet 60% of their energy needs with renewable energy. Additionally, 80% of the commercial buildings will meet 40% of their energy needs with renewable energy. The types of renewable energy to be used and the percentage that will offset electricity vs. natural gas requirements have not been specified. However, if it is assumed that renewable energy offsets are equally applied to natural gas and electricity and that the Travertine community exceeds 2008 Title 24 standards by 30% in the residential sector and 15% in the commercial sector, then 9,500 mtCO2e/yr could be offset in the residential buildings and 7,000 mtCO2e/yr could be offset in commercial buildings. 5 California Climate Action Registry, “General Reporting Protocol,” Version 3.1, January, 2009. 6 http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/green-building-news/california-s-title-24-marches-toward- greener-standards Calculations conservatively assume that 2008 Title 24 exceeds 2005 Title 24 by 20%. 4845 Pearl East Circle, Ste 101 “How do you Define Green?” Office: 303-579-4198 Boulder, CO 80301 Fax: 303-417-6385 www.symbiotic-engineering.com info@symbiotic-engineering.com Greenhouse Gas Equivalent to Exceeding 2008 Title 24 To achieve the stated GHG reductions associated with exceeding 2008 Title 24 by 30% in the residential sector and by 15% in the commercial sector, Travertine must reduce GHG emissions by 19,900 mtCO2e/yr in the residential sector and 11,700 mtCO2e/yr in the commercial sector. Heat Island Effect Mitigation According to the Environmental Protection Agency7, as rural areas are converted to more developed communities with buildings, roads, and other infrastructure in place, a heat island effect is realized that raises air temperatures significantly. Annual mean air temperatures may rise by as much as 1-3 degrees Celsius compared with surrounding areas, and nighttime temperatures may be as much as 12 degrees Celsius higher. The effects of heat islands are particularly important during the summer months when higher temperatures lead to increased energy consumption and elevated emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases among other impacts. Research by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory8 suggests that about 20% of the national cooling demand can be avoided through systematic implementation of heat island mitigation measures. Travertine proposes numerous measures that are in line with best practices in heat island effect mitigation. The plan includes utilizing cool roofs, cool pavements, and strategically placed shade trees to minimize the heat island effect of the community. Conservatively, if it is assumed that Travertine is successful in achieving a 50% reduction in heat island effect, the community may realize a 10% reduction in cooling demand compared with a baseline community. According to the California Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, approximately 10% of residential electricity use and 15% of commercial electricity use are due to air conditioning/cooling demand. Compared with a baseline community of 12,300 dwelling units using an average of 5,914 kWh/household per year, Travertine’s heat island mitigation initiatives may lead to annual savings of over 725,000 kWh and GHG emission reductions of approximately 240 mtCO2e/yr. Similarly, heat island mitigation could lead to commercial cooling electricity savings of over 875,000 kWh/yr and GHG emission reductions of approximately 290 mtCO2e/yr. Transportation Initiatives Transportation emissions from mobile sources account for approximately 2/3rd of Travertine’s estimated operational emissions. As a result, Travertine has instituted several measures in an attempt to minimize personal vehicle travel in the community. Transportation measures include using mixed-use/higher density development projects, incorporating public transport in project 7 http://www.epa.gov/hiri/about/index.htm 8 Akbari, Hashem, “Energy Saving Potentials and Air Quality Benefits of Urban Heat Island Mitigation,” Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory – Heat Island Group Available Online: http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/860475-UlHWIq/860475.pdf, Last Accessed: July 7, 2009. 4845 Pearl East Circle, Ste 101 “How do you Define Green?” Office: 303-579-4198 Boulder, CO 80301 Fax: 303-417-6385 www.symbiotic-engineering.com info@symbiotic-engineering.com design, promoting pedestrian and bicycle travel, and creating a good jobs/housing balance. Table 3 summarizes the potential impacts of Travertine’s transportation sustainability initiatives. Moreover, the transportation system also includes plans for the widespread use of neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) and for the use of roundabouts to facilitate the more efficient movement of traffic and to reduce associated emissions.

The project sustainability features are projected to decrease trips per day to 116,637 and VMT to about 816,000 per day. The reductions in VMT primarily result from mode shift whereby the percentage of person trips taken in personal vehicles is reduced from 92% to 82% as residents increasingly use NEVs, transit, bikes, and walking to meet their needs. The 10% reduction in average daily trips and GHG emissions would yield savings of nearly 21,000 mtCO2e/yr. Neighborhood Electric Vehicles The NEVs are incorporated in Travertine to facilitate the movement of community members on trips typically less than ten miles in length that occur within the development. The use of highly efficient electric vehicles reduces the energy required to complete these trips and minimizes the fuel waste and cold start emissions that occur when traditional vehicles are used for short trips. 9 Assuming approximately seven vehicle miles per trip based on the results of URBEMIS modeling presented in the Environmental Impact Report. 4845 Pearl East Circle, Ste 101 “How do you Define Green?” Office: 303-579-4198 Boulder, CO 80301 Fax: 303-417-6385 www.symbiotic-engineering.com info@symbiotic-engineering.com According to a National Energy Technology Laboratory report10, an average California automobile emits 0.373 kg CO2e/mile. If the electricity for the replacement NEV comes from coal fired electricity, GHG savings are minimal. If the electricity comes from combined cycle natural gas plants, GHG savings can reach 50%. However, 100% reductions in GHG emissions can only be achieved if the NEVs are powered with renewable energy. If 5% of the trips projected under the revised concept plan are taken in renewable powered NEVs, 6,200 mtCO2e/yr could be offset. The required renewable electricity to meet this demand would be 3.3 million kWh/yr11, about 14% of the renewable energy required to meet the residential and commercial building renewable energy commitments under the baseline Title 24 scenario. Based on the excellent solar resource of the NEV site, approximately 2,100 kW DC of installed photovoltaic panels would be required to meet the community’s NEV demand12. Roundabouts Travertine anticipates utilizing roundabouts for eight of its intersections in an effort to improve traffic flow and to minimize idling. Urban Crossroads’ analysis of seven study area roundabouts suggests that drivers will save an average of 43,000 gallons of fuel per year per roundabout based on reductions in stop time, idling, and required accelerations/decelerations. Multiple studies back up the assertion that roundabouts result in significant greenhouse gas emission and fuel savings compared with traditional signalized or stop sign-based intersections with actual emission reductions dependent on the anticipated traffic flow patterns through the intersections13,14. Based on average emission factors for the consumption of gasoline in automobiles15 and assuming conservatively that the 43,000 gallons of saved fuel is gasoline, the Travertine Point development will save approximately 3,000 mtCO2e/yr compared with a baseline community based on the presence of roundabouts as opposed to traditional intersections. Water Initiatives In addition to instituting sustainability initiatives to reduce building energy use and transportation, Travertine is also targeting significant reductions in water consumption. 10 Science Applications International Corporation Climate Change Services, “Battery-powered Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Projects to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Resource Guide for Project Developers,” Prepared for the National Energy Technology Laboratory, July 2002, Available Online: http://www.netl.doe.gov/products/ccps/pubs/resguide.pdf Last Accessed July 6,2009. 11 Based on NEV vehicle efficiency of 0.2 kWh/mile. 12 Calculated using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s PVWatts v.2 Program http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/codes_algs/PVWATTS/version2/ 13 Redington, Tony, “Modern Roundabouts, Global Warming, and Emissions Reductions: Status of Research, and Opportunities for North America,” Vermont Department of Public Service.

Examples of water saving measures proposed by Travertine include the use of water-efficient irrigation systems, water efficient building design, and dual plumbing to facilitate gray-water use for landscape irrigation. Table 4 summarizes the potential GHG savings from water reduction initiatives Table 3.

The first is that the community plans to implement a suite of water saving measures to achieve at least a 15%-20% reduction in residential indoor water consumption as discussed in the water section of the Environmental Impact Report. By reducing residential indoor water consumption by 15%-20%, Travertine can save almost 150 million gallons (MG) of potable water per year yielding GHG reductions of more than 500 mtCO2e/yr. In addition to the GHG savings from reduced residential indoor water consumption, Travertine anticipates realizing far greater GHG emission reductions as a result of implementing the community-wide dual piping system. The dual piping will allow Travertine to meet all of its residential and non- residential outdoor water needs using non-potable water sourced from the Colorado River similar to how the agricultural watering needs of the current area are met. According to the California Energy Commission report17, electricity consumption for water supply, conveyance, and 16 California Energy Commission, Public Interest Energy Research Program, “Refining Estimates of Water-related Energy Use in California,” Prepared for the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research Program, December 2006.

However, by maintaining a dual piping system to keep potable and non-potable water separate and by sourcing the water from the Colorado River or recycling water from local wastewater treatment plants, the electricity required for water supply, conveyance, and treatment is significantly reduced to only 1,150 kWh/MG17, similar to the energy requirements for agricultural uses. With 1,641.55 MG of water projected to be consumed each year for outdoor, non-potable uses, Travertine projects to save about 5,400 mtCO2e/yr compared with a baseline community due to the presence of the dual pipe system. Conclusion If Travertine successfully implements its proposed sustainability initiatives, including exceeding 2008 Title 24 building energy efficiency standards by at least 30% in the residential and 15% in the commercial sector, the community can realize operational GHG emission reductions of approximately 30% compared with a baseline community that does not implement the same sustainability initiatives. • GHG emissions from residential and commercial energy use can be reduced by 68% compared with a baseline community through community design, energy efficiency standards, renewable energy supply, and heat island effect mitigation. • GHG emissions from mobile sources can be reduced by 14% through community design, NEV use, and roundabouts. • GHG emissions from water supply can be reduced by 50% through the use of enhanced residential indoor water use standards and the implementation of the dual pipe system.
