The overall character of the land is a desert environment with the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains. The intent of the Design Guidelines is to maintain the overall existing desert quality while integrating a new community with the surrounding environment. The development of BIGHORN will draw upon the natural characteristics of the mountain desert providing a backdrop for the community's identity. BIGHORN is an exclusive single family residential and golf course community. The physical characteristics of the project site provides ample opportunity for individual custom design of estate lots while maintaining a cohesiveness within the overall community's development. These Design Guidelines will assure the quality of the community's character and appearance. 1 Purpose QUALITY APPEARANCE COMMUNITY CnARACTER IMPLEMENTATION CRITERIA The BIGHORN Design Guidelines provide the framework for quality design expressing the desired character of future development. Land use definitions, along with major cirulation routes, begin to convey the essential character and complex interrelations between the environment and the community. The Design Guidelines incorporate environmental components,such as topography and geology, with development issues of specific land use concepts and architectural review and control. The objectives of the Design Guidelines are: • To serve as design criteria for use by planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers and builders; • To provide guidance to the City of Palm Desert Planning Commission, City Council and various agencies, the Master Developer and Builders in the review of future development projects within BIGHORN; • To provide a viable framework which will achieve BIGHORN'S quality objective. It is not the intent of the guidelines to limit the creativity of designers. Individual identity is encouraged while providing continuity within the community. The BIGHORN Design Guidelines address the major design elements of site planning, landscape, and architecture. BIGHORN is governed by the City of Palm Desert Municipal Code, City of Palm Desert regulations of Planned Community District Zone, City of Palm Desert construction and building codes, and the Planned Community District Regulations for the Villages of Bella Vista (Ordinance No. 564, adopted January 12, 1989). 2 Location BIGHORN is an approximately 775 acre planned recreation-oriented, community along the base of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains which abut the Coachella Valley at its southwestern limits. The site is at the southern boundary of the City of Palm Desert in Riverside County, California. BIGHORN is bounded on the north by Cahuilla Way and to the east approximately 1,500 feet east of Highway 74 (Pines to Palms Highway) with a small portion of the site separated by and east of Highway 74 to the south. 3 �i 0 / far �0 J > al Palm < Palms /S ) ( �Y Cy.

The goal of the site planning guidelines are to provide a sense of community, maximize views on and offsite, and honor the present development character of the area. The following objectives form the basis for the site planning guidelines: • To encourage site planning sensitive to the topography, natural drainage, and views; • To respond to governmental standards and respect the privacy of offsite property owners; • To create a cohesive community while allowing individual development identity; • To provide single family residences responding to existing natural features and allowing for flexibility to respond to changes in market demand; • Provide community delineation and a sense of community security through the use of walls, landscaping, and monumentations. The site planning guidelines address siting of building envelopes, with consideration for the aesthetic qualities of building mass, and grading. 5 Site Planning Siting of Building Envelopes Site planning addresses the proper placement of buildings within the site. This requires an understanding of a)dsting drainage patterns and terrain, building form, and orientation. The ultimate siting of each residence will vary based on the combination of design, detailed engineering analysis, and survey. In general, building mass shall be simple in form. In order to create a more interesting streetscape, building placement on adjoining parcels along a street should be varied. Defining building envelopes for both the very low to medium density residential units shall be up to the developer/builder. WT VARY BUILDING PLACEMENT 6 Site Planning Grading The key concepts of site grading are to integrate buildable parcels within the e)dsting topography while maintaining a low visual impact from surrounding properties. The grading of the site terrain shall conform to the natural topography as much as possible, resulting in a smooth transition from the natural grade to the developed residential pad. This can be achieved through several grading techniques. One method is to provide flowing edges by rounding new banks to blend into the natural terrain. Another consideration is for the development pad to follow the contours of the e)dsting topography when possible. In Low Density Residential Planning Areas, the structural design shall conform to the topography whenever possible and shall minimize the need for terracing. The site grading design shall complement and reinforce the architectural and landscape design character, reduce the perception of height and mass on larger buildings, and provide elevation transitions contributing to the efficiency of onsite and offsite movement systems. 7 Site Planning ROUND CREST & TOE OF SLOPE ROUND CREST 1y- NATURAL GRADE •Provide smooth transition from graded slope to natural terrain, round crest & toe of slope with vertical curves. BLEND WITH NATURAL LANDSCAPE - z Rounded Transitions au — \ Rounded Transitions Proposed Grade TExisting Grade 8 i Landscape LANDSCAPE BUFFER COMMUNITY IDENTITY UNIFY ROADWAY EDGE Goal and Objectives The goal of the Landscape Concept is to unify and reinforce the natural desert with a landscape transitional plan for BIGHORN. The intent is to transition from a lushly planted core which presently exists along Highway 74 to the naturalistic desert. The objectives of the BIGHORN Landscape Guidelines are to: • Establish a landscape heirarchy for treatments of entryways and streetscapes, edges and recreational uses; • Establish landscape design guidelines for individual project design; • Establish a plant palette for use within the community's public and common areas. The BIGHORN landscape theme encourages a lush desert oasis character that transitions to the natural southwestern desert. In order to preserve the natural desert character, the use of drought tolerant or low water using plants shall be encouraged. The character of the community shall be reinforced through the coordinated design and choice of landscape and paving materials. To achieve the desired uniformity, the Landscape Guidelines include: • Entries • Streetscapes and Cul-de-Sacs • Open Space • Perimeter and Channel Buffer • Slope Planting • Plant Palette 9 T» It.

The community entry creates a distinct sense of arrival and entry, identity, and landscape character for the BIGHORN community. The entry monumentation shall be a defined area with special landscape treatment to emphasize and contrast with the surrounding environment. The specialty components create the sense of entry by framing the main entry driveway with architectural elements and/or massing of trees to form symbolic gateways. The primary project entry shall accomodate lighted entry signage, speciality paving, accent trees, hedges, and/or groundcovers. r I 1 >- �; y ` ".,! MAIN ENTRY II Landscape Streetscape Streetscape and project edges are the most visibly dominant landscape elements of the BIGHORN community. Highway 74 (within Zone A) BIGHORN's edge Streetscape along Highway 74 shall reflect the more informal nature of the surrounding environment. Tree massing shall be in a serpentine design form creating a buffer while aestheticly defining the project edge. Main Entry Drive (within Zone A) The main entry drive shall define the entrance into the BIGHORN community utilizing planting masses in a formal theme. Accent plantings will delineate the entry corridor from the surrounding environment. PALM Now..

The desert has subtle angular and asymmetrical forms. The setting is informal with a sense of bold freshness. The objectives of the BIGHORN Architectural Guidelines are: • Establish architectural design criteria to achieve the desired external building form, materials, and appearance. • Encourage and utilize a high quality and variations of the architectural style. In order to achieve a cohesive community with quality development the following architectural elements have been addressed: • Plan Form • Roof Geometry and Windows • Materials and Colors • Building Projections and Equipment • Walls and Fences 21 Residential Architecture Plan Form Residential homes shall be of simple geometry with traditional angular forms. The designed angular elements reflect the residential plan forms to the mountain setting. Varied rooflines break up the squareness of a plan, creating a variety of elevations. This helps to avoid repetitiveness of adjacent lots when identical floor plans are used. 22 Residential Architecture Roof Geometry and Windows Roof tiles indigenous to the architectural style are desired. Roofs can be flat, sloped, or a combination of both. Clustered homes should utilize one pitch. All flat roofs which are visible from uphill residential units or roadways should be kept to a minimum. Flat and sloped roofs shall be the same color. Residential buildings should have shadow reliefs such as offsets, popouts, overhangs, and recesses. Recessed and projecting openings, such as doors and windows, add articulation to wall surfaces. Combinations of roof overhangs, porch enclosures, balconies, and recessess produce interest and respond to the desert's climatic conditions. Fabric awnings are permitted in moderation. Metal awning are prohibited. yf eA f \\�I V lit/. • . N �` �` ice• IIII ,�u . / 23 Residential Architecture Materials and Colors Exterior building materials shall be consistent with the overall community character. Appropriate materials include: • Stucco • Brick • Masonry • Adobe • Concrete Block Predominant colors should be derived from the desert environment, subdued earthy colors. These are colors reflecting the hues of the ground plane, surrounding mountains, and plant materials, such as ranges of: • Brown • Rust • Sand • Sepia • Olive • Grey Accent colors can be derived from from the desert's splash of spring flowers, sunsets, and sunrise colors. • Orange • Red/Pink • BlueA avender • Yellow • Green 24 Residential Architecture Building Projections and Equipment Architectural building projections, including chimney flues, vents, gutters, and downspouts shall be consistent, both in color and building material, with the architectural character of the main residence. All mechanical equipment, such as air conditioning/heating equipment or self-timer boxes for landscape irrigation/security/lighting, shall be screened from view. They shall be screened with a roofline, a wall or vegetation similar in design to the residential architecture and landscape. Solar panels are to be integrated into the roof design, flush with the roof slope. Frames will be colored to compliment the roof. Ancillary solar equipment will be enclosed and screened from view from above. Walls and Fences All exterior walls and fences within BIGHORN shall be of a style, material and color compatible with the community character and the architectural design of residential units. Community or perimeter walls shall not be altered. These walls shall respect appropriate property line setbacks. 25 Signage QUALITY SIGNING PROGRAM REFLECT THE THEME OF A SOUTHWEST DESERT OASIS All signage within BIGHORN shall be designed to provide consistency with the community character and with the different categories of signage themselves. There are basicly four categories of signage: 1. Identification signs: The major monumentation of BIGHORN is from Highway 74. The signage will be compatible in all aspects, including but not limited to style, material, and color, with the desert/oasis theme of the community. 2. Directional signs: All street signs shall be consistent and compliment the character of the community. No custom signs shall be permitted. 3. Marketing related signs and parking: Signs indicating models or parking, shall be consistent with the overall theme of the community. They shall be smaller in scale than the entry signage. 4. Secondary information: Signage within this category include exit/entry signs, parking signs, and temporary signs (such as sold/for sale signsand construction signage) shall be consistent with the other signs in style, material, and color. 26 W-f BIGHORN Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. 74-090 El Pasco Suite 103 Patin Desert, CA 92260 (619) 341-1554 Landscape Master Plan THE MPLANN00 CENT RING =EAST CAMELEACK RCAC SUITE o0 PHOENIX.

This new development will be an exclusive single family residential and golf course community located in a pristine, desert foothills area. The overall character will be of a lush oasis that transitions to the natural desert beyond. Bighorn straddles both sides of Highway 74 and the opportunity exists to fully present the project to passersby by utilizing the double frontage. The landscaping will be very lush with full coverage of turf or groundcover as well as extensive tree and shrub plantings. This lush character will occur from the northern boundary to the main entry, approximately midway through the site. Between the main entry and the southern boundary, frontage occurs only on the west. The landscaping in this area will transition from lush to the natural desert environment. The first opportunity to introduce the development is where Highway 74 meets the northern boundary. Identity signage will occur on both sides of the highway at this point. At the main gate, however, is where the overall identity and character of the development will be presented. This dynamic entryway will be elegant and grand but understated. An informal palm grouping, flowering accent trees and a mix of lush and succulent plants will be carefully blended to appear exotic yet still suggest the southwestern setting. Beyond the entryway is the main boulevard, from the gate to the canal. The landscaping will be an extension of the entryway with palm groupings and flowering trees. The landscape will be very formal in appearance to reflect the elegant and manicured character of the project. Midway down the entry drive, and to the right, will be the golf club. The clubhouse area is a critical element to the project, the central core of activity, and will thus be the most unique environment. The formality of the palms, flowering trees and lush plantings of the entry drive will spill into the club. area, blending the two together. A secluded garden, visible from the clubhouse veranda, will be a botanical collection of specimen plants, both exotic and Southwestern, a collection of one-of-a-kind plants. The view from the veranda, over the garden, will be of the 18th hole and the lake. At the end of the entry drive is the canal. This diversion canal is the boundary, beyond which are the most exclusive residences of the development. The canal itself is unattractive and the view of it will be screened by high planters with colorful shrubs. The canal will be buffered from the residential areas by dense, informal plantings. The concrete of the canal itself will be stained a color that is more compatible with the surrounding desert. OFFICES IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA. PHOENIX,AZ and TUCSON, AZ • PLANNING&RESEARCH • ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES • URBAN DESIGN • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE [( � Bighorn Master Landscape Concept v Page Two The streetscape of the different residential areas are categorized into three zones. Zone A, on the east side of Highway 74 and either side of the entry drive, will be lush and cool, compatible with the entry drive landscaping. Zone B, just west of the canal, will be a transitional area. The plants will be colorful and green but also drought tolerant. The term commonly used today is "xeriscape". The character will be very formal and elegant, achieved through careful design and meticulous maintenance. Zone C, the hillside estate lots, will be an enhanced desert revegetation area utilizing specimen trees and cacti from a native plant palette. The streetscape will blend with the natural vegetation so that it appears from below as if the homes were set down into the natural landscape. The hierarchy of roads will appear well defined by careful use of plant type, width of landscaping, intensity of material and formal versus informal design. In situations within Zones B and C, where natural areas are adjacent to the road, the disturbed portions will be revegetated and further enhanced with specimen materials. The fairways of the golf course will be fitted as closely as possible to natural grade to minimize the impact upon the adjacent desert. The natural desert, in a bank surrounding the fairways, will be enhanced by imported and salvaged saguaros, ocotillos and smaller cacti. In addition, the area will be hydroseeded with a colorful blend of flowers and grasses. The area between this enhanced desert and the residences will be a transitional zone. The more colorful and green plants from the "xeriscape" palette will be utilized to transition from the desert to the lush plantings of the residences. A "fairway buffer" will be created between adjacent fairways. A dense revegetation and enhancement of this buffer area will help to create a sense of definition for the fairways on either side. A unique amenity exists within Bighorn - the natural palm canyon just beyond the end of Fairway 3. The canyon will be maintained in its natural condition and be accessible by trails. This special recreational opportunity will be available so that all the residents of Bighorn can experience this unique, natural feature. Signage for the Bighorn development will be designed as a complete package. A thematic approach will be used utilizing the natural character of the site. A continuity will be established by maintaining the theme for all signage including identity signage, directional and traffic control signs. Lighting within Bighorn will be understated to maintain the elegant character of the project at night. Subtly lit, tree lined boulevards will blend the project together. The focal point of the lighting will be the hillside. At night it will be selectively highlighted so that it is visible from the highway.

("WDCI" ) , intends to apply for a grading permit and other necessary permits and approvals to grade and construct golf course holes and related improvements ("Golf Course Improvements" ) on the Sun Creek property. The Golf Course Improvements are to be located outside of the 400 yard buffer zone requested by the Big Horn Institute. WDCI has indicated that it plans to develop on the buffer zone area; however, in the spirit of attempting to work out a mutually satisfactory arrangement with the Institute, WDCI is temporarily delaying any development proposed for said area. Based on the Settlement Agreement and Development Agreement covering the WDCI site, together with the Village of Bella Vista Planned Community District Regulations, all of which have been approved by the City, you are given the authority to issue grading permits after approval of conceptual grading plans by yourself and the Director of Public Works. The issuance of such permit should probably be accompanied by a Notice of Determination or other Notice reflecting an exemption from CEQA and that such issuance is a ministerial act.

This plan shows the orientation of the 18-holes of golf within the project and, hopefully, will assist in keeping everyone informed so there will be no surprises with the conceptual/rough grading plans which are being submitted to the Departments of Community Development and Public Works for review And approval. We submitted conceptual/rough grading plans on January 16, 1990, to be reviewed by Public Works for the area between Highway 74 and the Palm Valley Channel. A 40-scale plan was submitted covering Tentative Map No. 25161. A 100-scale conceptual/rough grading plan was also submitted for the remaining area north of Tentative Map No. 25161. The 100-scale grading plan deals with the mass grading of the golf course fairways and placement of excavated material as engineered fill in the location of future residential pads. Also enclosed are prints of the balance of the golf-course portion of the 100-scale conceptual/rough grading plan that are being submitted for your approval .

City Attorney Best, Best & Krieger 39700 Bob Hope Drive, Suite 312 Rancho Mirage, California 92270 Re: TT25161: DEDICATION CONDITION Dear David: This will confirm your determination that compliance with the dedication condition (Condition No. 5) , does not require dedication in connection with map recordation. As we discussed, the Development Agreement (which supercedes and controls all subsequent project conditions) expressly provides that the natural and open space dedications are to take place after the open space areas are divided from the balance of the property. The property is being mapped in phases. As part of the mapping process, the City will be determining, on a phased basis, the exact boundaries and size of the open space areas. Therefore, the complete division of the open space areas will not occur until sometime in the future. At that point, Westinghouse will be in a position to effect the complete dedication. David Erwin, Esq. June 11, 1990 Page 2 As we discussed, since the Development Agreement obligates Westinghouse to dedicate the open space, there is no need for a separate dedication agreement. Thank you for your cooperation. sincerely yours, Jo F. Nicholson JFN•nwt cc: Mr. Ray Diaz Mr: Roy Ramsey Mr. David Graham 06-08-01 a' 4.

He stated that there would be future public hearings when the other portions of the 675 acres developed. Mr. Joy outlined the salient points of the staff report. He indicated that the applicant was requesting a lesser density than what was approved in the development agreement by city council. Staff also indicated that the applicant was requesting that the clubhouse be 40,000 square feet instead of 30,000 square feet. Staff concurred and indicated that the conditions of approval would be changed to reflect this. He recrnmended approval of the project. MR. DAVID GRAHAM, Vice President of Planning and Development for Westinghouse Development Communities, stated that they would build a high-quality country club type community overall, which would be predominantly single family hares. He indicated that they would be extensively using drought tolerant materials that would be compatible to the area. He also stated that the golf course would be similar to the Desert Highlands course near Phoenix. Mr. Graham informed commission that they would be caning before the eamdssion in the next four or five years with tentative tract maps. He indicated that they would proceed slowly and study each piece of property extensively. Chairperson Whitlock asked if anyone present wished to speak in FAVOR of the proposal. MR. GORDON PAULUS, Planning Consultant for the Del Gagnon Et. Al., informed commission that this group was totally in favor of the project as presented. MR. DAN EHRLER, Executive Vice Present of the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce, read a letter from the Board in favor of the project. MR. BRUCE THOMAS, 72-225 Arie Road, spoke in favor of the project as it was present to then. He indicated they had three meetings with Westinghouse. He stated that over the last eight to ten years he has actively been on the board of the improvement committee in Cahuilla Hills. They had been concerned about high density, but they felt that if Westinghouse lived up to their promises, they were in favor. He also felt that desert vegetation should be used for the landscaping. He also expressed concern about the secondary access being used as a service entrance on Cahuilla Way. He suggested that some of the service vehicles use the main entrance because Cahuilla Way was the only residential entrance and access to the community. 3 MIIV[lt�'S PALM DESERT PLANNIN13 0244MICN JANUARY 2, 1990 He indicated that there was an Art Smith Trail that he liked to hike and was concerned about there being an entrance into the trail and possibly a small amount of parking. Mr. Thomas described where the trail started. Mr. Joy indicated that the trail would not be located on the 80 acre parcel being discussed. He stated that it would be addressed when that parcel was under consideration. Mr. Thomas asked about the total density; Commissioner Richards replied that it was 430. Mr. 'mamas stated that he was more than content with that. - MR. JOSEPH CADY, 71-855 Jaguar, asked staff what the setback would be from Highway 74. Mr. Joy indicated that the perimeter wall and curb face would be 40 feet of landscaping. Mr. Cady stated that there were already some developments with bigger setbacks and did not feel 40 feet was enough. He also felt that the property near the Cahuilla Hills should be acreage lots and wanted that aspect considered. M. DANIEL APPLEQUITH, 71-445 Oasis Trail, stated that most of the people present lived in the Cahuilla Hills. He noted that the developer cam to the residents two or three times and was caring and understanding of their needs. He also wanted to be assured that the developer would live up to his commitments. He stated that Cahuilla Way was his biggest concern since it was their only access. He was very concerned about how it would be used by the project. Chairperson Whitlock asked if anyone present wished to speak in OPPOSITICN to the proposal. MR. JIM DEFORGE, 51-000 Highway 74, stated that the Bighorn Institute had a number of meetings with Westinghouse. He felt they would be sensitive to the environnent and they were not opposed to the 80 acre project, but they would be caning before commission when other requests were made. MR. JOE COOPER, 71-750 Cahuilla Way and 49-225 Buckhorn Trail, stated that he was concerned about the golf course and asked if the golf course was approved. Staff replied no, the only request was for approval of the 80 acres. He informed commission that he had been told that construction on the golf curse would begin February 1. He was concerned about the size of the lost in that area and requested that the lots be one acre 4 I li I MINLYIES PAIM DESERT PLANNING CC IISSICN JANUARY 2, 1990 parcels plus a setback and was concerned about the amount of landscaping provided and the height of the houses. Commissioner Richards asked staff what the height limit was as approved in the development agreement. Mr. Joy replied 18 feet, just for the 80 acres. Commissioner Richards informed Mr. Cooper that when that section of property comes before the commission, it would be considered in a public hearing. Chairperson Whitlock asked the applicant if he wished to offer any other tents. Mr. Graham indicated that in reply to Mr. Thomas' comments, 450 single family tomes was approved and the acreage was 675. He indicated that the trails were being discussed. He stated that they would be working with staff within the next two months on the dedication of land to the city and indicated they were highly motivated on getting this taken care of. He assured commission that they would stand up to the promises they made to the area residents. He indicated that he would like to address the items of concern that were for areas other than the 80 acres when they came up. He indicated that six units per acre was what was approved. He stated that they had no approvals for the golf course from city staff yet, but they would like to begin construction on the golf course February 1. He indicated he would like to outline their intentions and work with staff to Proceed so that the golf course would be open by Thanksgiving or Christmas. He stated that there was a 24 foot height limit on the five units clustered together, but the other units abutting High ay 74 would be 18 feet. He stated that the 24 foot height was what was approved for the hotel and that was the reason for the units being 24 feet. He indicated that they were working with the neighborhood and stated that the service vehicles would be using the front and side entrances for access. Chairperson Whitlock closed the public testimony and asked for comments. Commissioner Erwood felt this was a much better project than the previous one and had no problen with the request. Commissioner Richards noted that he had attended a meeting with the developer and residents on the 30th that took approximately two hours. He felt the character and nature of the development was one of the best he had seen and did not have a problem with the proposal. He stated that the 24 foot height limitation on the five units seemed appropriate and felt the trails would be kept in focus. He expressed a concern 5 MINUTES PALM DESERT PIANNING Ca+nS.SION JANUARY 2, 1990 that the amount of cars that could be permitted be small. He did not want to make this into a big deal. He also suggested that the water district be contacted to work out access. Action: Moved by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Erwood, approving the findings as presented by staff.

Mr. Drell outlined the salient points of the staff report, stressing that the purpose of this application was to have sufficient control on the magnitude of the business in case it becomes tremendously popular. Staff recommended approval, subject to the limitations specified in the conditions. Mr. Drell clarified the location and possible effect on Tory Rome's for commission. Chairperson Whitlock opened the public testimony and asked if the applicant wished to address the commission. MR. ERIC JONES, 1390 Marrin Way in Palm Springs, informed commission that they had been in business for the last five to six years and needed their own location. He noted that Tony Rome's provided their own parking. He indicated that he had no objection to the conditions of approval. Chairperson Whitlock asked if anyone present wished to speak in FAVOR or OPPOSITION to the proposal. There being no one, the public testimoy was closed. Chairperson Whitlock stated that she had no objection to the request. 6 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA aS COMPANY 9 1981 LUGONIA AVENUE,REDLANDS,CALIFORNIA MAILING ADDRESS:P.O.BOX 3003,REDLANDS,CALIFORNIA 92373-0306 December 5, 1989 City of Palm Desert �y �I 73-510 Fred Waring Drive !� Palm Desert, Ca 92260 ( 1989 ATTENTION: Ramon A.

We are pleased to inform you that Southern California Gas Company has facilities in the area where the above named project is proposed. Gas service to the project could be provided from a 4" gas main in Highway 74 at Cahuilla Way without any significant impact on the environment. The service would be in accordance with the Company's policies and extension rules on file with the California Public Utilities Commission at the time contractural arrangements are made. You should be aware that this letter is not to be interpreted as a contractural commitment to serve the proposed project, but only as an informational service. The availability of natural gas service, as set forth in this letter, is based upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies. As a public utility, the Southern California Gas Company is under the jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission. We can also be affected by actions of federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action which affects gas supply or the conditions under which service is available, gas service will be provided in accordance with revised conditions. Typical demand use for: a. Residential (System Area Average/Use Per Meter) Yearly Single Family 799 therms/year dwelling unit Multi-Family 4 or less units 482 therms/year dwelling unit Multi-Family 5 or more units 483 therms/year dwelling unit These averages are based on total gas consumption in residential units served by Southern California Gas Company, and it should not be implied that any particular home, apartment or tract of homes will use these amounts of energy. b. Commercial Due to the fact that construction varies so widely (a glass building vs. a heavily insulated building) and there is such a wide variation in types of materials and equipment used, a typical demand figure is not available for this type of construction. Calculations would need to be made after the building has been designed. To insure the existing facilities are adequate to accommodate the new development, an engineering study will be required. Detailed information including tract maps and plot plans must be submitted to the Gas Company Market Services Representa- tive, 1-800-624-2497, six months prior to the actual construction of the natural gas pipeline. We have developed several programs which are available, upon request, to provide assistance in selecting the most effective applications of energy conservation techniques for a particular project.

BOX 262 / PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92261-0262 / TELEPHONE (619) 346-7334 BIGHORN ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT DECEMBER 9 , 1989 A committee of nine bighorn sheep experts met December 9 , 1989 to consider the impacts of the proposed Altamira (Bighorn Ventures) housing development contiguous to the Bighorn Institute research facilities . The Bighorn Institute was established as a nonprofit organization in 1982 to initiate a research, rescue, and recovery program to ensure the survival of the threatened Peninsular Desert Bighorn population in the Santa Rosa Mountains . It is the only facility in North America exclu- sively dedicated to bighorn sheep research. The Institute has contributed significantly to the conservation of desert bighorn sheep particularly in its research efforts on viral and bacterial disease of wild sheep and in rearing captive lambs that can be used in reestablishing wild populations . Its mission is recognized and sanctioned by federal and state conservation agencies . In a memorandum of under- standing with the California Department of Fish and Game , the two parties agreed that part of the mission of the Bighorn Institute would be to release healthy bighorn back into the Santa Rosa Mountains , conduct research on viruses , and work towards practical long-term disease control , including water source manipulation and gnat control . The committee unanimously agreed that a bighorn environmen- tal buffer was needed to protect the welfare of the captive wild bighorn herd for the following reasons: 1 . The captive wild bighorn sheep would be more severely stressed than free roaming sheep by noise , lights , unre- strained pets , traffic and other human-related activities . 2 . The integrity of existing natural habitat parameters of the research facilities must be preserved and maintained in order to obtain data that can be applied to natural popula- tions . 3 . Human alterations to the environment such as golf courses and heavily watered lawns would enhance the envi- ronment for disease vectors , e .g . gnats and other biting insects which can transmit viruses known to be fatal ,to bighorn . 4 . The Bighorn Institute has successfully reared lambs in captivity and rescued and rehabilitated wild diseased lambs . These pen-reared animals are essential in reestab- lishing dwindling wild populations . Human disturbance during and after construction would endanger the ability of the captive wild population to reproduce successfully. After an on-site inspection , the committee determined that an optimal bighorn environmental buffer would be 600 yards , with 400 yards from the pen perimeter as the absolute minimum, as designated on the attached map. It was further determined that lands in the viewshed to the north and east of the lambing area warranted a larger buffer to mitigate negative impacts to the lambing area . More than 90% of the lambs in the Institute research pens are born on the north- east slope . Refer to the attached map for specific buffer area boundaries .

A Nonprofit - Tax-Exempt Organization P.O. BOX 262 / PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92261-0262 / TELEPHONE (619) 346-7334 The Bighorn Institute is opposed to the Westinghouse Com- munities development project as proposed on the east side of Highway 74 . The bighorns ' ability to successfully reproduce will be jeopardized by close and continuous expo- sure to human occupancy, noise, lights , vehicles , and over- all disturbance inevitable from such a development adjacent to the Institute ' s 30 acre pen enclosure . This would greatly hinder our conservation efforts within our facili- ties and ultimately the very survival of the threatened Peninsular Desert Bighorn in the northern Santa Rosa Moun- tains . As required for the Altamira project , we feel a responsible biological evaluation of this proposed develop- ment is necessary and thus a focused environmental impact report must be conducted. We have met with Westinghouse Communities to discuss our bighorn concerns and the need for an environmental buffer . We are hopeful that an agreement can .and will be worked out to the satisfaction of both parties and the Institute ' s conservation efforts will continue to provide a future for the bighorn of the Santa Rosa Mountains .

DeForge Executive Director Bighorn Institute P.O. Box 262 Palm Desert, CA 92261-0262 Dear Mr. DeForge: Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. is anxious to work with the Bighorn Institute. We have reviewed your letter of December 27 , 1989 , to Ramon Diaz and have talked with your vice president, Kent Roberts, in regard to your response to my letter of January 9, 1990. In a good faith effort to make every attempt to avoid a dispute with the Institute we would like to make the following proposal. In your letter of December 27 you state: "A panel of bighorn experts assembled by the Bighorn Institute have outlined the concerns and the minimum buffer required for both development projects (see enclosed Bighorn Advisory Committee statement and map) . " We will redesign our development in a way that allows us to proceed at this time to develop only the portion of our property that lies outside the minimum buffer referred to in your letter of December 27 and specifically described on the map attached thereto. I have attached copies of that letter and map as exhibits A and B to this letter. In regard to the portion of our property located within the buffer zone described on the exhibit B map (which will be referred to as the "buffer land" and which we estimate to include 31 acres more or less) we have retained consultants to review the report of your advisory committee. These consultants include Dr. Steven W. Carothers, a wildlife biologist, and Fred Bosselman, a land use planner and nationally recognized specialist in endangered species. Page Two Mr. James DeForge January 19, 1990 Our consultants will want to meet with you and your advisors between now and August 31, 1990, in an attempt to work out a mutually agreeable solution to the use of the buffer land. We will take no steps toward developing the buffer land during that time. In exchange, we want the Institute to agree that: 1. The Institute will not object to or otherwise seek to obstruct the development of any of our property that lies outside the buffer area shown on exhibit B, including but not limited to development of a golf course and residential community and related uses. 2 . You and your staff will work with us and with our consultants in a good faith attempt to see if a mutually agreeable solution can be negotiated as to the use of the buffer land. 3 . Neither the Bighorn Institute nor Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. are waiving any rights relating to the buffer land by this agreement and if no plan for the use of buffer land is mutually agreed upon by both of us by August 31, 1990 then both of us will be free to make any arguments as to how that 31 acres should or should not be developed and to make any legal claims related thereto. If this agreement is accepted by the Institute, we also agree that we will take no legal action against the Institute in regard to any of the Institute ' s permits or memoranda of understanding during the time we are attempting to reach a mutually agreeable solution. This letter will serve as our offer to enter into the agreement described above. If the Institute accepts this offer please sign both copies of this letter and return one copy to me. The executed letter will then constitute our agreement. This offer will remain open until January 26, 1990.

APPLICANT: WESTINGHOUSE DESERT C ,4UNITIES, INC. 74-090 E1 Paseo, Suite 103 Palm Desert, CA 92260 BEIN, FROST & ASSOCIATES 74-410 Highway ill Palm Desert, CA 92260 I. BACKGRQIIID: A. SITE DESCRIPTION: The 80 acres is in the southeast portion of the 675 acre site zoned P.C.D. (Planned Community Development) and is below the base of the mountains between Highway 74 and the Palm Valley Channel. The general plan shows the site as residential - 3.5 d.u./ac. B. ADJACENT ZONING/LAND USE: North: PCD/Vacant South: Natural Assets (County)/debris basin East: R-1 (County)/Vacant and access to Bighorn Institute West: PCD/Vacant II. SITE HISTORY' The Bella Vista site has been before the commission numerous times with the latest being November 15, 1988, for a .development agreement that was -later executed by the, that -allows 1,066 'units and a 325 roan hotel. The development agreement was the last action that needed to be taken along with the annexation of the property into the city, . . that settled a lawsuit resulting from the condemnation of land that was needed for the Palm Valley Channel. The PCD zoning on the property includes a development plan (attached to the report) that depicts bubbles for different densities and a hotel location. On December 14, 1989, the council interpreted the PCD regulations (also attached) to allow single family residences in the proposed hotel site which is where the first phase of this project is located. The commission, in approval of this project, is making a similar interpretation (see attached). III. PROJECP DESCRIPTION• The agreements that were drawn up between the city and property owner were specified to run with the land. Westinghouse Desert Communities Purchased the property and renamed it "Bighorn". Rather than build what the agreement allows - 1066 units, a 325 roan hotel and golf course - Westinghouse is proposing a country club in the 450 unit range surrounding an 18-hole golf course. The only hotel Westinghouse is envisioning at this time is a maximum 30 casita units along with a 35,000 sq. ft. maximum clubhouse which will be part of the first phase in terms of planning approval purposes. The advertised case that was mailed to the residents included the entire site but the request at this time is for the 80 acre portion shown on the map - which was previously assessed for CEQA purposes. A main item of the project is the dedication of 350 acres of hillside to the city. The PCD regulations state that this must be accomplished prior to the first map being recorded (see attachment, page 5). Letters have been received and attached to the report from Ann Cady Cooper and the State Department of Fish and Game. Ms. Cooper is concerned with noise generation from a maintenance area, access to her hone, view sheds from her hone and construction entrance adjacent to her rental hone adjacent to the Palm Valley Channel. Westinghouse has stated that these matters will be looked at when phases of the project are prepared adjacent to her hones which will require further public hearings. 2 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. TT 25161 JANUARY 2, 1990 The..Department of Fish and-Game is concerned with gnat, generation-from- - the_.golf course and its impact on bighorn sheep. • An attached letter from local entomologist, Mike Wargo, addresses this concern by stating that this area already contains significant numbers of these insects since they can breed in local canyons and travel many miles, and that golf courses do not create conditions favorable to their breeding. The lot development standards for the approximate 12,000 sq. ft. lots will be similar to custan hone lots at "The Vintage" . Side yard setbacks are 8' , front are 20' from curbface, and rear is 10' with no maximum lot coverage. The applicant is requesting five lots against the mountains - but well setback from the highway be allowed to be built two story (maximum 24' high) with the balance at one story (18 feet maxi-mum height). Staff feels this is acceptable considering that the development agreement allowed a 325 roan hotel at 24' in height. IV. FINDINGS: Required findings and justifications for approval of a tract map are as follows: 1. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. Justification: The general plan indicates the subject site as low density residential which is what the land is proposed to be used for. 2. That the design or improvement of the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. Justification: The improvements provided in and around the map are consistent with the applicable general and PCD regulations. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. Justification: The site is of sufficient size, shape and topography for country club development. 4. That the design of the map or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. 3 STAFF REPORT CASE NO. TT 25161 JANUARY 2, 1990 Justification:The design of the. map is- not likely to -cause substantial environmental damage because it will be developed in concert with applicable local, state and federal regulations. 5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. Justification: The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause public health problems because it will be developed in concert with applicable local, state and federal regulations. 6. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. Justification: The project will provide its own drainage easement while conditioned not to conflict with other utility easements. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project has been previously assessed for CEQA purposes. VI. RECa44EN ATION: 1. Adoption of findings 2. Adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. VII. ATTACHMENTS: A.

DISCUSSION• Westinghouse has filed first phase plans for the former Bella Vista site that also includes 103 acres east of highway 74 which was }mown as Sun Creek. The first phase of the project, which will be known as Bighorn, consists of 50 single family lots, a future clubhouse/spa site and 18-hole golf course. The lots are located within planning area 10 Of the land use plan, which would allow a maximum 300 room hotel and ancillary cottages. The intent of the land use regulations was to establish maximum parameters and not to discourage lowering of permitted densities. Staff, therefore, recaimends tha the single family lots be interpreted to fit into the "cottage classifi ation".

I am generally familiar with the land in question, although I have not walked its boundaries. I have some of the same concerns about this development that I had about the Hahoy property. Specifically, the effect of organically rich water, such as results from heavy watering of lawns, and golf course water hazards on the abundance of Culacoides gnats. We know these gnats transmit a pair of viral diseases (Bluetongue and EHD) which can be detrimental to bighorn sheep. Several California Department of Fish and Game-funded studies in the Mojave appear to link these two diseases with poor lamb survival. We currently have an entomologist working on the problem of water sources, specifically golf courses and settlement ponds, on gnat abundance in the Deep Canyon drainage area of Palm Desert. California Department of Fish and Game has listed the peninsular bighorn as "threatened" and has invested considerable time and money in disease research. Although the Westinghouse property is on flatter ground and not as close to bighorn habitat as the Hahoy property, we encourage further study of the potential bighorn health problem. It is also my understanding that Westinghouse is attempting to cooperate with Bighorn Institute during its planning so as to minimize potential impacts on bighorn. Sincerely, David A. Jessup, DVM MPVM December 151989 Palm Desert Planning Commission 73-510 Fred Waring Palm Desert, Ca 92260 Attention: Mr. Phil Joy Dear Members of the Palm Desert Planning Commission, Since I will be out of the country for the January 2 hearing regarding the Westinghouse Project, I am writing to convey my thoughts . I am the homeowner which the project has the most impact. I have been actively involved with this project or Bella Vista's for 10 years. My homes are at 79-225 Buckhorn Trail, a rental, and 71750 Cahuilla Way, both which border on Westinghouse's property. There are three issues which negatively impact my property. 1 . The location of the maintainance area where machinery comes and goes. Noise polution would be a detremint to our environmental peace. It could be moved to Highway 74 and Cahuilla Way where it would have no impact to my property. 2. 1 would like to encourage you to deny Westinghouse access to using Buckhorn Trail in from and out of my house for the following reasons: A.) The noise polution would be unbearable with their proposed machinery going across the road from early morning till evening. B.) The bump in the road brings screaches of breaks or tires which causes additional noise. C.) Added persons in the area gives rise to crime and potential damage to my property. D.) The rental of my home would be adversely affected E.) The Cahuilla Hills has never been a high traffic area F.)Most importantly, we feel they have alternative access at the top of the flood channel. It is narrow along the inside portion of the channel, but with some bulldozing a road could be put in where people are not affected. 3. Another serious concern is their ,tentative plan as Mr. Graham explained it to me to build a .road, and. homes very close to my Cahuilla Way home Because of the difference in zoning, Cahuilla Hill being of lower density, I feel strongly that there should be a "buffer" between that rural zoning in Cahuilla Hills, and the Westinghouse project. On the plan you approved for the prior project, Rancho Bella Vista there was to be natural desert "buffer" for 100 feet then fairway of the golf course, another 200 feet, then homes on the other side. This was a satisfactory agreement. Another point is that one driveway of m circle drive way is P Y Y Y on Westinghouse's property and we have driven over this since 1947. There is a process of law called adverse possession which would enable us to go to a court of law in order for us to keep this property for our use. To avoid that situation Rancho Bella Vista proposed Exhibit A, to build and pave an alternate cricle diveway with a parking area. This plan would be satisfactory to us. I respectfully request that you give my concerns serious considerations. My family has enjoyed the peace of the desert in Cahuilla Hills since 1950 and we hope this will continue for our future generations. Higher property values are of no interest to us. We have been approached by many including Bella Vista with handsome offers. Quality of life and our environment is of major concern to myself and my family. Thank you.

Palm Desert 92260-2578 Dear Ray, This evening David Graham came to my home in San Marino to show me Westinghouse's proposal for their development. (the old Rancho Bella Vista project) He is making an effort to discuss problems I have concerning the impact of his project on my property and I appreciate this attitude. I feel we can come to an agreement, however that has not yet happened. I am willing to work with him. 1 will be in Europe from December 15th through January 10th and request that you postpone the hearing until January 16th so that I may be present. As you probably are aware, I've spent 10 years coming to hearings and speaking regarding that property and, would like the opportunity to be heard if we are unable to work out the important concerns I have. For these reasons I respectfully request that the hearing be postponed until January 16th.

DUKE 73510 Fred Waring Drive Coachella Palm Desert, CA 92260 SECRETARY JOHN B.TURLO RE: Public Health Concerns Palm Springs JUDITH A.COX Dear Phil: La Quints THEODORE J. FISH In response to your concern of biting gnats, (Leptoconopss County-at-large and Culicoides species) , as well as mosquitoes, p ) , and their JOHN FUSCHETfI possible affect on residential/recreational development in Rancho Mirage the Highway 74 area, the following information may answer WILLIAM L.GIBSON some of your questions: Desert Hot Springs HARRY KRINGS 1. Biting gnats, Leptoconops species, are minute, blood Cathedral City sucking insects that can cause great discomfort through BEN LAFLIN,JR. their biting activities. L. torrens occurs primarily County-at-Large during the summer months following a rainfall of 1/2 R. ROTSCHAEFFER, M.D. inch or more while other Leptoconops are species resent Palm Desert — p p at various times of the year in relatively low numbers. RONALD Indio dioKER, D.V.M. They spend their immature life stages in the soil of the foothills and lower mountains surrounding the Coachella Valley. Two to five days after a summer rain, they emerge as adults to mate, find a blood source, and lay eggs in the soil for the next generation. They are able to fly one to four miles in search of a blood meal and return to lay eggs in an area similar to their original location. 2 . Biting midges, Culicoides species, are small blood sucking insects that rarely bother humans but instead seek blood from other animals. Their immature stages breed in the shoreline interface areas of water, mud and/or decaying organic matter. In this valley, large numbers breed in the many backwater seeps adjacent to the Salton Sea. Also, they can be found breeding at the edges of the many natural springs, seeps, and pools ADMINISTRATION of water along canyons and arroyos in the foothills of MICHAEL J.WARGO the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains. These insects District Manager- appear to be most numerous in the Springtime as a result Entomologist of winter and spring rains creating large numbers of STEPHEN DURSO breeding sites in the canyons. They are capable of Assistant Manager- flying miles to find a blood source. They also return Entomologist in order to lay their eggs in a site similar to their former site. A vector is any insect or other arthropod,rodent or other animal of public health significance capable of causing human discomfort,injury,or capable of harboring or transmitting the causative agent of human disease. 3 . Mosquitoes breed in standing bodies of water (natural and man-made types) throughout our valley. While the natural breeding sites are extremely difficult to locate and control,, the man-made sites are relatively easy. .to.. locate and control,,-.through the , use of . mosquitofish, biological control organisms, and pesticides. The best solution to reduce or eliminate mosquito breeding sites are through proper engineering to reduce or eliminate that alters the factors favorable to these insects. Leptoconops species will probably not breed in man-made situations such as golf courses. If necessary, golf courses can be treated by their personnel. The routine maintenance work on golf courses probably would not be conductive to breeding these insects. Since Leptoconops species occur naturally in the foothills, there is no way of controlling them in their natural habitats. When these insects occur during the summer, our District advises the public to protect themselves by use of insect repellents and to avoid being outside in the early morning and late afternoon/evening hours for approximately two weeks following a summer rainfall. Culicoides species would also probably not breed in the man-made lakes and ponds, since normally these bodies of water are well maintained through careful control of vegetation, water chemistry, and stocking of fish. Also, most lakes and pond' s shorelines are lined with concrete or railroad ties which eliminate water and soil interface areas. Mosquito breeding is prevented and eliminated in the same manner as for Culicoides. Our District will also routinely stocks mosquitofish into all lakes and ponds each Spring and checks periodically for their presence throughout the year. We only use pesticides as a last resort. In my opinion, the two developments planned for the Highway 74 area should not create conditions favorable to the insects mentioned, above if reasonable care is taken. In the past I have sent your city's Planning Department several copies of the California State Department of Health Services publication, Vector Prevention in Proposed Developments: Guidelines, Standards, and Checklists. It will give you the information that will minimize most vector breeding situations. I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me. Sincerely, Michael J.

Box 262 Palm Desert, CA 92260 Dear Mr. DeForge: Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. , is submitting to you for your consideration and acceptance the following program to benefit the Institute: 1 . A buffer area consisting of approximately nine (9) acres north of the Bighorn Institute will be set aside to remain in its natural state. 2 . Approximately 300+ acres of hillside located west of Highway 74 will be dedicated to the Institute as a reserve for animals returned to the wild, subject to approval by the City of Palm Desert (see map) . 3 . The Westinghouse property located east of Highway 74 will be fenced or walled to inhibit random access by humans and animals, to Institute property thereby further isolating Institute animals from the public. The fenced, private ownership of land north of the breeding pens will provide a barrier against incursion by the public across previously uncontrolled lands. 4 . Low intensity open space recreation (golf) that is developed within 1200 ' of your existing pen will be designated as a "Quiet Zone. " The purpose of this zone will be explained in the clubhouse on score cards and signage in electric golf carts used on the course. Signs will be posted at appropriate locations further designating the area as a "Quiet Zone" and "animal refuge area. " This area will be landscaped with desert vegetation and fenced. •` a `` �� h Sad >>� Ml . 1 Mr. James DeForge January 9 , 1990 Page Three Westinghouse plans to significantly reduce the total number of units to be developed. This lower density directly reduces potential impact on the Institute' s operation. The foregoing proposal benefits the Bighorn Institute and will contribute significantly to the awareness by the public of the efforts of the Institute and the vital role it plays in the future well-being of the Bighorn Sheep. Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. , has given much thought to the manner in which design of the proposed project will benefit the Institute and its mission. Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. , wishes to be an advocate rather than an adversary. Consideration, discussion and acceptance of this offer and withdrawal of opposition of the proposed plan will forge a mutually beneficial relationship which will last far into the future. We would be happy to meet with you and/or the Board of Directors to discuss our proposal . This offer shall be in effect if accepted no later than Tuesday, January 16, 1990. Sincerely, Roy msey, Jr. Vice dent WESTINGHOUSE DESERT COMMUNITIES, INC. ACCEPTED BY: Bighorn Institute Date cc: Board of Directors Mr. James DeForge January 9 , 1990 Page Two 5 . Turf areas and water features located within 1200 feet of your pens (see map) shall have chemical, mechanical or biological treatment programs designed to minimize propagation of disease vectors. 6 . No free roaming, out-door pets of any kind will be allowed in the outdoor areas of concern (buffer) . 7 . All structures within 1200 feet of your pens will utilize non-glare, non-reflective building materials including roofing material , paving, paint and exterior materials. 8 . Homeowners within this area will be advised of the sensitive nature of the animals and will be restricted to the "quiet enjoyment" of their property through enforceable deed restrictions, educational materials presented at the time of sale and on-going educational/interpretive programs funded by Westinghouse. 9 . Westinghouse is willing to contribute toward expansion or relocation of the existing pen or pens. 10. Westinghouse proposes that no home construction shall take place in this area for a minimum of three years from the date of this proposal . This will allow landscape buffers to mature and, therefore, provide maximum visual screening of this area. 11 . Landscape buffers will be planted (see map) as indicated to buffer golf activity as well as structures. 12 . All structures located in this area will be buffered by walls to further buffer human activity from view from the pens. 13 . All exterior lighting will be minimized and shielded to reduce glare. Lighting will be low level and directed away from the Institute. 14 . All roads within the subject area will be buffered by landscaping or walls to reduce impacts of movement and light. 15. Westinghouse Desert Communities, Inc. , will provide facilities and services at no cost to the Institute, for an annual golf tournament/benefit. This shall begin in 1991 and continue through and including 1995 . 16 . An educational program will be established to educate all project residents about the Institute and its purpose. /.✓c c- To <6e Af/ Se�rN .?O•«/ G.Ne' 0 I f/ a/c-'s�of jJ r CdrAl E-4UNe j' o / 1 1 c�✓ro � �o c ( l CITY OF FA DESERTr f all DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES z � Z, APPROVED BY'-- ❑ C.C.

DISCUSSION• i Westinghouse has filed first phase plans for the former Bella Vista site that also includes 103 acres east of Highway 74 which was known as Sun Creek. The first phase of the project, which will be known as Bighorn, consists of 50 single family lots, a future clubhouse/spa site and 18-hole golf course. The lots are located within planning area 10 of the land use plan, which would allow a maximum 300 room hotel and ancillary cottages. i The intent of the land use regulations was to establish maximun parameters and not to discourage lowering of permitted densities. Staff, therefore, recommends tha the single family lots be interpreted to fit into the "cottage classifi tion".

We are pleased to inform you that Southern California Gas Company has facilities in the area where the above named project is proposed. Gas service to the project could be provided from a 4" gas main in Highway 74 at Cahuilla Way without any significant impact on the environment. The service would be in accordance with the Company's policies and extension rules on file with the California Public Utilities Commission at the time contractural arrangements are made. You should be aware that this letter is not to be interpreted as a contractural commitment to serve the proposed project, but only as an informational service. The availability of natural gas service, as set forth in this letter, is based upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies. As a public utility, the Southern California Gas Company is under the jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission. We can also be affected by actions of federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action which affects gas supply or the conditions under which service is available, gas service will be provided in accordance with revised conditions. Typical demand use for: a. Residential (System Area Average/Use Per Meter) Yearly Single Family 799 therms/year dwelling unit Multi-Family 4 or less units 482 therms/year dwelling unit Multi-Family 5 or more units 483 therms/year dwelling unit These averages are based on total gas consumption in residential units served by Southern California Gas Company, and it should not be implied that any particular home, apartment or tract of homes will use these amounts of energy. b. Commercial Due to the fact that construction varies so widely (a glass building vs. a heavily insulated building) and there is such a wide variation in types of materials and equipment used, a typical demand figure is not available for this type of construction. Calculations would need to be made after the building has been designed. `t ill To insure the existing facilities are adequate to accommodate the new development, an engineering study will be required. Detailed information including tract maps and plot plans must be submitted to the Gas Company Market Services Representa- tive, 1-800-624-2497, six months prior to the actual construction of the natural gas pipeline. We have developed several programs which are available, upon request, to provide assistance in selecting the most effective applications of energy conservation techniques for a particular project. If you desire further information on any of our energy conservation programs, please contact our Area Market Services Manager, P.O. Box 3003, Redlands, CA 92373-0306, phone 1-800-624-2497.

BOX 262 / PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA 92261.0262 / TELEPHONE (619) 346-7334 BIGHORN ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT DECEMBER 9 , 1989 A committee of nine bighorn sheep experts met December 9 , 1989 to consider the impacts of the proposed Altamira (Bighorn Ventures) housing development contiguous to the Bighorn Institute research facilities . The Bighorn Institute was established as a nonprofit organization in 1982 to initiate a research, rescue, and recovery program to ensure the survival of the threatened Peninsular Desert Bighorn population in the Santa Rosa Mountains . It is the only facility in North America exclu- sively dedicated to bighorn sheep research. The Institute has contributed significantly to the conservation of desert bighorn sheep particularly in its research efforts on viral and bacterial disease of wild sheep and in rearing captive lambs that can be used in reestablishing wild populations . Its mission is recognized and sanctioned by federal and state conservation agencies . In a memorandum of under- standing with the California Department of Fish and Game , the two parties agreed that part of the mission of the Bighorn Institute would be to release healthy bighorn back into the Santa Rosa Mountains , conduct research on viruses , and work towards practical long-term disease control , including water source manipulation and gnat control . The committee unanimously agreed that a bighorn environmen- tal buffer was needed to protect the welfare of the captive wild bighorn herd for the following 'reasons: 1 . The captive wild bighorn sheep would be more severely stressed than free roaming sheep by noise, lights , unre- strained pets, traffic and other human-related activities . 2 . The integrity of existing natural habitat parameters of the research facilities must be preserved and maintained in order to obtain data that can be applied to natural popula- tions . 3 . Human alterations to the environment such as golf courses and heavily watered lawns would enhance the envi- ronment for disease vectors , e .g . gnats and other biting insects which can transmit viruses known to be fatal to bighorn . 4 . The Bighorn Institute has successfully reared lambs in captivity and rescued and rehabilitated wild diseased lambs . These pen-reared animals are essential in reestab- lishing dwindling wild populations . Human disturbance during and after construction would endanger the ability of the captive wild population to reproduce successfully. After an on-site inspection , the committee determined that an. optimal bighorn environmental buffer would be 600 yards , with 400 yards from the pen perimeter as the absolute minimum, as designated on the attached map. It was further determined that lands in the viewshed to the north and east of the lambing area warranted a larger buffer to mitigate negative impacts to the lambing area . More than 90% of the lambs in the Institute research pens are born on the north- east slope . Refer to the attached map for specific buffer area boundaries .

Palm Desert , Ca. 92266 Re : Westinghouse Communities CC - Hwy. 74 Dear Ray, Bighorn Ventures is planning development of a residential country club project adjacent to a portion of the south and west border of the property owned by Westinghouse Desert Communities , Inc. , on which a residential country club is also being proposed. The specific property lines of the two respective properties is not currently a straight line, due to the fact the Bighorn Ventures owns a 10 acre parcel that extends east into the property owned by Westinghouse Communities. Bighorn Ventures has reached a tentative agreement with Westinghouse Communities , to re-align the existing property line via a property transfer and lot line adjustment . The specific process has not yet been completed but we anticipate it may be completed in the near future. Because Westinghouse is submitting their project for con- sideration at this time, their development plan has been prepared based on the future location of the proposed property line. Please be advised that Bighorn Ventures acknowledges the preparation of the development plan to cover a portion of Bighorn Ventures property, and we have granted permission to Westinghouse to submit such a development plan, based on our tentative agreement to re-align property lines .
