SECTION 3. PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES
The boundaries of the Project Area are changed by this
amendment to include all the area as outlined in Exhibit "A"
and more specifically set forth by legal description of the
amended Project Area which follows. The boundaries within
300 feet of the Project Area are changed by this amendment to
include all the area as outlined in Exhibit "B" as set forth
in the legal description.
SECTION 4. AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OBJECTIVES
The objective of the amendment to the Redevelopment Plan are
limited to:
1. The elimination or alleviation of flooding of property
within the Project Area due to the laying out of lots
in disregard of the contours and other topography or
physical conditions of the ground and surrounding conditions.
2. The provision of flood control facilities, which cannot
be provided by private or governmental action without
redevelopment, which are necessary to solve the flooding
problems.
SECTION 5. PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
In addition to those actions proposed in the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Plan, the Agency proposes to eliminate and
prevent the spread of blight in the Project Area by such
actions as:
o Installation, construction, or reconstruction of flood
control improvements, and where necessary, to accomplish
flood control objectives.
o Review of proposed developments to assure their conformance
with the objective and proposals of this Amended Plan.
SECTION 6. AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN
The Preliminary Plan is changed by this Amendment to include
all of the boundaries outlined in Exhibit "A" and is herein
included:
A. Description of Project Area Boundaries
The Palm Desert Control facilities project area boundaries
are described as follows: Included within the City of
Palm Desert all that area within the city limits south of
the Whitewater River excepting that portion known as the
Cahuilla Hills area; included within the City of Indian
Wells all that area starting at a point at the eatern
boundary of Palm Desert City limits at Haystack Street
following a boundary generally easterly along the cove
to Rancho Palmeras Drive and north along Rancho Palmeras
Drive in line with the existing Rancho Palmeras Drive to
the Whitewater River, then westerly to the Palm Desert
-2-

•
City limits; within the County of Riverside all that
area south of the Palm Desert City limits to the base
of the Santa Rosa Mountains. A map delineating the
project area boundaries is included in Figure 1.
B. EXISTING LAND USE
Land uses within the project area contain an assortment
of land uses that have developed in response to socially
determined decisions, economic growth, and technological
change. As stated in the City's 1974 General Plan, the
land use patterns that exist are not random. They have
been generated with the belief that the best use of land
means the most suitable use in the overall development
and function of the whole community and its residents.
To be expected, the existing pattern will be of great
importance to the City's policies for future land uses.
The proposed project will not change nor affect any of
the designated land uses. Table 1 identifies the City's
current land use inventory. The land use inventory
which was originally conducted in May, 1979, and was
recently updated, is indicative of current conditions.
TABLE 1: EXISTING LAND USES
USE ACRES %
Residential 2671.1 33.1
Commercial 144.6 1.8
Industrial 25.3 .3
Governmental/Institutional 195.2 2.4
Transportation (Public) 716.9 8.9
Utility 242.0 3.0
Open Space 109.0 1.4
Vacant/Unused Land 3964.9 49.1
TOTALS 8069.0 100.0
Major factors evident within the existing land use
pattern include:
(1) Except in the residential areas, the land use
pattern has not changed significantly since
1974. There appears to be a decreasing amount
of traditional single family homes and subdivision
and an increasing orientation toward planned
residential development with the condominium
form of ownership. The character of Palm Desez
residential area is low density. Densities
of this nature create development patterns
that are land intensive.
(2) All of the commercial area of the City is within
the proposed redevelopment area boundaries along
Highway 111 and El Paseo. Commercial land use is
predominately established along the following
areas:
(a) El Paseo developing as a major specialty
retail and office area;
-3-
r
(3)
(b) The western portions of the Highway 111
area becoming the primary shopping area
anchored by Palms to Pines Center, and;
(c) The north and south sides of Highway 111
oriented toward services, automotive related
and commercial uses.
Public uses, with the exception of educational
institutions, are primarily clustered at the
eastern end of El Paseo. Public uses include
the Post Office, a branch of the Riverside
County Library System, temporary City Hall, and
the offices of the Coachella Valley Association
of Governments(CVAG).
(4) Educational uses within the project area include
the College of the Desert, Washington and
Lincoln Elementary Schools, the Palm Desert
Middle School, and a proposed high school site.
C. LAND USE PLAN
The Land Use Plan, as depicted in Figure 2, includes
proposals for each of the major land uses represented
within the entire Project Area.
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: Residential uses within the
project area and vicinity are incorporated into a series
of neighborhoods with densities ranging from an average of
1 to 18 units per acre.
HIGH DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS: Are designated immediately
adjacent to the commercial area, the College of the Desert
and major streets. These neighborhoods can be developed at
densities ranging from 7 to 18 units per acre.
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: Are intended to be
developed at densities ranging from 5 to 7 units per acre.
Generally, this designation is proposed for the following
sections of the project area:
(a) The area east of Portola Avenue and south of
Highway 111;
(b) Area south of Mesa View Drive;
(c) The area between the Whitewater Flood Control
Channel and the commercial area and;
(d) The area between the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel
and Highway 74.
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: Are designated for
the area between Shadow Mountain Drive and Mesa View Drive
and between Highway 74 and Portola Avenue. They should be
developed at densities ranging from 3 to 5 units per acre.
-4-
•emu,•; ti'. , � 'S"%S
COMMERCIAL AREAS: Commercial areas in the Project Area
include a variety of commercial uses clustered into series of
regional, convenience and specialized activity centers.
REGIONAL COMMERCIAL/CORE AREA COMMERCIAL: Regional and
Core Commercial areas are recommended adjacent to Highway 111
and El Paseo, extending from the westerly intersection of
El Paseo/Highway 111 and Highway 74 on the west to the
corporate limits on the east. The service area for the regional
shopping area will extend beyond the corporate limits of the
City. Commercial uses within this area provide the primary
retail and office space for Palm Desert and the Sphere of
Influence.
D. LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS
State Highway 111 and 74 serve as the principal traffice
arteries through the project area. Highway 111 runs in an
east west direction and parallel with the Whitewater River.
The Highway frontage within the project area is mostly
commercial. This highway is the only through route available
to serve intercity movement between Indio to the east and
Palm Springs to the west. It is the major traffic carrier
through the City of Palm Desert. Highway 74, which runs
generally in a north south direction is the major state
highway linking Palm Desert and surrounding communities
with the San Diego Brea, and San Bernardino National Forest
mountain communities. Major local streets through the project
area include Fairway Drive, which connects the communities
of Palm Desert and Indian Wells, Portola Avenue, which provides
through access for the northern to the southern portion of the
City of Palm Desert and Avenue 44, which serves as an alternate
to travel, and Highway 111 between the communities of Rancho
Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and Indio. The proposed
redevelopment project will not affect the layout or purpose
of any streets or highways.
E. CONFORMANCE WITH COMMUNITY GENERAL PLAN
The proposed project is in conformance with Cove Communities
(Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage) General Plans.
The character of the cove communities is basically residential
with a majority of residences being second homes. A great
number of residential units are country club condominiums.
The City of Palm Desert completed a General Plan Amendment
during March of 1981. The City of Indian Wells completed a
Plan Amendment during February, 1981. The proposed prfo get
is in conformance with both currently amended pans o e
cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage.
F. PROJECT IMPACT ON RESIDENTS AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS
The proposed project, which is the addition of territory to
an already existing redevelopment area, is for the purpose
of financing and construction of flood control facilities
which will benefit the cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells,
and Rancho Mirage. The project will provide two major benefits
-5-
..�,-:tw.-.cE•,.r, ..•.t4a .r.:e - _+.; .:• :.�_;... `..Y.ti'7X rj[y,'l,1�.-citT: c.:.- �cr•;'-a.,•t• �...�.:a i:r�'..`�,.•�� `'•i` f ��t_:.a', jjs�
to residents and surrounding neighborhoods. Firstly, the
proposed flood control project will protect the life, health,
and property, which are constantly threatened by flooding.
The Project Area is subject to flooding from two primary
sources. Flooding can and does occur from local flows out
of the adjoining Santa Rosa Mountains primarily from
Cat Creek, Dead Indian Carrizo, and Deep Canyons, and has
resulted in extensive damage to public and private property.
See Figure 3 for evidence of wide spread flood damage within
and adjacent to the Project Area.
The Project Area is prone to serious flooding from watershed
runoff. The City lies at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountain,
whose steep gradients and barren rocky slopes wash water and
debris down canyons and onto the alluvial fan contained within
the Project Area. Considerable erosion occurs during the
flooding process with eroded materials being deposited along
roadways, across properties and inside commercial and
residential structures. Severe damage has been sustained through-
out the Project Area in the Flood of September, 1977, and in
the Flood of July, 1979. In both occurrences the City was
declared both a local and Federal Disaster Area. Without the
development of flood control facilities proposed by the
Redevelopment Plan, the entire Project Area will continue
to be subject to the hazards and economic losses resulting
from the flooding conditions.
Secondly, the proposed flood control project will delete all
the area within the redevelopment area boundaries from the
provisions of the Federal Flood Insurance regulations, thereby
creating a substantial savings to area residents for flood
insurance premiums and restrictive land use and building re-
quirements.
SECTION 7. MOVING OF STRUCTURES
As necessary in carrying out the objective of this amended
Plan, the Agency is authorized to move or cause to be moved,
any standard structure or building which can be rehabilitated
to a location within or outside the Project Area.
SECTION 8. PREFERENCE RULES FOR RE-ENTRY IN BUSINESS
The Agency has adopted preference rules for granting
preferences to existing businesses within the amended
Project Area, which may be displaced from their present
locations as a result of the implementation of the
Redevelopment Plan, as amended, and which wish to relocate
within the Project Area, as amended.
SECTION 9. RULES GOVERNING OWNER AND TENANT PARTICIPATION
The Agency has adopted rules governing owner participation
in the redevelopment of the Project Area, as amended. The
rules are intended to provide a framework in which they
may improve, repair, restore orotherwise modify their
properties to conform to the standards of the Redevelopment

Plan for the Project Area, as amended, and in the case of
certain owners of improved property to obtain confirmation
that their properties presently comply with the Redevelopment
Plan.
The Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") desires
and urges participation in the growth and development
of the Project Area, as amended, by as many owners, operators,
of businesses and business tenants as possible. In view
of the pattern of land assembly and integrated development
envisioned by the Redevelopment Plan, persons and firms
doing business in the Project Area, as amended, will be
encouraged to form partnerships, corporations, or other
joint entities to take advantage of their participation
and preference opportunities.
SECTION 10. PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
Each participant who is not an owner of real property to be
retained by such persons may be required to enter into a
binding agreement with the Agency, by which the participant
agrees to rehabilitate, develop, or use the property leased
by or acquired from the Agency in conformance with the Plan
and to be subject to the provisions hereof.
SECTION 11. COOPERATION WITH PUBLIC BODIES
The Coachella Valley County Water District has the primary
responsibility for the planning, construction and maintenance
of flood control facilities within the Project Area. It is
the intention of the Agency to contract with the Coachella
Valley County Water District for joint participation in the
financing, planning and construction and maintenance of
necessary flood control works.
SECTION 12. LAND, EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY
Land, easements and rights of way which are required for the
construction of flood control improvements may be acquired
by the Agency by gifts, device, exchange, purchase or any other
lawful method including eminent domain.
SECTION 13. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
During such time as property in the amended Project Area is
owned by the Agency, such property shall be under the
management and control of the Agency and may be conveyed
by it, with or without consideration, to any other public
agency.
SECTION 14. RELOCATION OF PERSONS DISPLACED
It is not contemplated that it will be necessary to relocate
any persons displaced by flood control improvements. If such
relocation is necessary, the Agency will provide relocation
assistance and relocation payments to displaced persons in
the manner and to the extent provided by law.

to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of
any interest in real property acquired by the Agency. To the
extent permitted by law, the Agency is authorized to dispose

public agency.
SECTION 17. DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Development plans, both public and private, shall be submitted
to the Agency for review and approval. All development within

PALM DESERT FLOOD CONTROL WORKS
A. ALTERNATIVE IA MODIFIED1
1. Description
a) General. This alternative represents the concept of diverting all
flood waters emanating from the Dead Indian and Carrizo Creek canyons into
the existing Palm Valley Channel. This is combined with the concept of all
flood waters from Deep Canyon flowing through the existing Deep Canyon Channel
through Indian Wells, as is presently the case.
b) Dead Indian and Carrizo Debris Basins. In each plan, debris basins
have been included in the upper reaches of all major flood water tributaries.
This has been done for two reasons: 1) to reduce the required capacity of
the channels by eliminating as much of the debris in suspension as possible
and 2) to reduce the amount of sediment deposition in reaches of low velocity.
At Dead Indian and Carrizo, the debris basins are located to the north-
east of Highway 74 just downstream of the two existing highway bridges over
Dead Indian and Carrizo Creeks. These debris basins will cover an area of ap-
proximately 60 acres.
c) Dead Indian and Carrizo Collector Channels. Three collector channels
divert or convey the flood waters away from the developable alluvial fan area
north of the mouths of Dead Indian and Carrizo Creeks.
The remaining two collector channels in this area are small channels designed
to catch local runoff from the mountains on the east and west edges of the
alluvial fan. This will provide for the most economical use of the developable
lands remaining in this area. The channel to the west varies from four to six
feet in depth, with a 50-foot base width and 3:1 side slopes protected on either
one or both sides by grouted riprap. The channel on the east is very similar,
varying from four to seven feet in depth, with a 50 foot base width and 3:1 side
slopes with similar grouted riprap slope protection. The collector channel on the

east side is located so as to use the existing drop located at the section line
between sections 31 and 32. No improvements to the drop will be required. However,
the existing channel from the drop to the existing grassed channel through the
Ironwood Country Club will receive grouted riprap slope protection on its north
slope to protect against erosion.
d) Cat Creek Debris Basins. The arrangement of these basins will provide
the same function as those previously mentioned for Dead Indian and Carrizo Creeks.
These basins will require an area of approximately 33 acres.
e) Cat Creek Collector Channel. This channel is designed to carry the water
from the outlet of the debris basins to the head of the Palm Valley Channel. The
channel is 100 feet wide at the base and 7 feet deep, with 3:1 grouted riprap
side slopes. Because of the steepness of the natural ground along the channel center-
line, grouted riprap drops have been added at roughly 500 foot intervals, thereby
creating a flatter channel slope with lower water velocities and dissipating energy
at the drops.
f) Palm Valley Channel. The existing channel is unlined, trapezoidal, varying
from 8.5 feet deep and 50 feet wide at its upper end to a) feet deep and 40 feet
wide at its confluence with the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel. The channel
is constructed with native materials with side slopes of 2:1. To provide the free-
board and capacity to route the estimated inflow from Cat Creek and other minor
tributaries, plus the additional inflow from Dead Indian and Carrizo Creeks, the
channel has been increased in size to 60 foot base width varying in depth from 13
feet to 20 feet. Because of the high velocities that are to be expected, the sides
of the channel have been lined with concrete to prevent erosion of the slopes. A
concrete stilling basin has been added near the channel's terminus immediately
before the channel passes through the Rancho Los Palmas development. The stilling
basin acts to reduce the velocity and dissipate energy. The remainder of the
channel from the stilling basin to the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel.
g) Deep Canyon Debris Basins. These are similar to the Dead Indian and
Carrizo Debris Basins and provide the same function. They are located jL5t north
of the section line between sections 4 and 9 and cover an area of approximately
200 acres, including the training dike at the northernmost edge which directs the
outflow from the basin toward the collector channel.
h) Deep Canyon Collector Channel. This channel, located on the western

edge of the Deep Canyon alluvial fan, connects the debris basins with the existing
grassed channel through the Ironwood Country Club. Because of the steepness of
the natural ground, a series of four foot deep grouted riprap drops at 500 foot
intervals have been incorporated into the channel to provide a flatter channel
bottom slope, to reduce the velocity and to dissipate energy. The channel base
width is 140 feet, with a depth of 9 feet. The channel side slopes are 3:1 with
the side opposite the mountains lined with grouted riprap. The total length of
channel is approximately 3200 feet.
i) Living Desert Debris Basin. This debris basin is designed to perform the
same function as all other debris basins. However, it will impound debris material
above natural ground behind an earthfill dike which has a maximum height of 40 feet.
A 100-foot wide pilot channel will direct flood flows from the downstream side of the
basin; a spillway drop structure cut through rock at a natural low spot in the hill
north of the basin at the section line between sections 38 and 33, and a controlled
pipe outlet structure beneath the dike to permit passage of stormwater to the Living
Desert Reserve. During small storms, all water will pass through the outlet works
to the Living Desert Reserve. The outlet works consists of three 66-inch pipes,
each connected to a vertical inlet structure having bar screen openings to allow
for debris accumulation in the basin without blockage of the outlet. Control of
each outlet pipe would be by a hand operated butterfly valve near the upstream end
so that releases could be shut off if desired. Another 100 foot wide pilot channel
directs the flood flow from the spillway drop structure to the existing drop structure
at the polo field in Section 28.
j) Deep Canyon Channel. From below the existing drop structure near the polo
field, the flood runoff will be carried in the existing Deep Canyon Channel through
Indian Wells. The existing channel is constructed of native materials in the upper
reaches, is grass lined in the middle portion, and is again constructed of native
materials near its terminus at the Whitewater Stormwater Channel. A portion of the
grassed area is used as part of the Indian Wells Golf Course. The existing channel
varies from six and one half feet deep, 150 feet in base width and 5:1 wide slopes
in the upper reach to 18 feet deep, 60 feet in base width and 2:1 side slopes at
its terminus. Consequently, to pass the estimated flood, the channel sides have been
lined with concrete for the entire channel length at a 2:1 side slope. Lining with
•-•40411661.14,".ailliOrritiet,

concrete enables the channel to be widened at the base without widening the
right of way, which is very limited through Indian Wells. This new channel varies
from a depth of seven and one-half feet and base width of 195 feet at the upper
end to a depth of 15 feet and base width of 60 feet at its terminus in a concrete
lined stilling basin. The stilling basin is provided to help eliminate erosion
of the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel by reducing entrance velocities and
dissipating energy.
