Executive Summary
The intersection of Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive is currently a four-way stop.
On July 10, 2008, City Council awarded a contract for design of intersection
improvements that would allow for the construction of the ultimate improvements at the
intersection per the City's General Plan. This will require the acquisition of additional
right-of-way from four parcels and easements from two parcels. Also, per California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City is required to adopt the MND at a public
meeting and record the NOD with the County Clerk and the Governor's Office of
Planning and Research. Staff is also requesting authorization to advertise for bids of the
project.
Backqround
This proposed project consists of widening Portola Avenue and improving traffic flow,
drainage, pedestrian access, safety, and aesthetics at the intersection at Portola
� Avenue and FranK Sinatra Drive. These improvements will bring�the intersection Level '
of Service from F to C for the 2020 projections and support the City's traffic vision for
2020 as described in the City's General Plan. The project will require right-of-way
(ROW) acquisition along the east and west side of Portola Avenue south of Frank
Sinatra Drive, the east side of Portola Avenue north of Frank Sinatra Drive, the south
side of Frank Sinatra Drive west of Portola Avenue, and the north side of Frank Sinatra
Drive east of Portola Avenue.
On July 10, 2008, City Council awarded a contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates in the
amount of $511,000 to design the improvements and prepare the plans, specifications,
and environmental documentation for the project. City Council subsequently approved
Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $96,000 on September 9, 2008, and Amendment
No. 2 in the amount of $76,000 on September 10, 2009, bringing the total design
contract amount to $683,000.
The widening of the roadway will require the acquisition of ROW from parcels 620-400-
003, 694-200-005, 620-400-015, and 620-400-016. The City Redevelopment Agency
(RDA) owns parcels 620-400-003 and 694-200-005. Parcel 620-400-003 is located on
Staff Report
Intersection Improvements for Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive (Project 572-08)
December 10, 2009
Page 3 of 5
the east side of Portola Avenue south of Frank Sinatra Drive. The ROW required on this
parcel consists of 19,178 square feet of frontage for the widening of Portola Avenue.
Parcel 694-200-005 is located at the northeast corner of Portola Avenue and Frank
Sinatra Drive. The ROW required on this parcel consists of 60,064 square feet of
frontage for the widening of Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive.
Parcels 620-400-015 and 620-400-016 are owned by RJT Homes — Catavina, LLC.
These parcels are located at the southwest corner of Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra
Drive. The ROW that would be acquired from these two parcels is 45,389 square feet.
Staff has negotiated a grant deed for this ROW free of cost in exchange for the roadway
improvements. Staff is anticipating the receiving the executed Grant Deeds from RJT
Home — Catavina, LLC shortly and per Resolution 77-48 the City Clerk will accept the
Grant Deeds on the behalf of the City Council.
The project will require an easement on parcel 620-400-004, owned by the City, for the
widening of Portola Avenue. The easement will be primarily for the relocation of the
sidewalk and parkway outside of the existing ROW. To ensure for future maintenance
and access onto the sidewalk and parkway, staff is recommending that the City record
an easement for public street and public utility purposes on this parcel. The easement
will be 2,009 square feet along the frontage of the parcel.
Drainage improvements for the project includes the interception and conveyance of
stormwater from east and west of the intersection along Frank Sinatra Drive and from
Portola Avenue north of the intersection. The project includes the construction of a
storm drain system consisting of catch basins and a pipe network to convey runoff
underground to the south. Several alternatives were studied for the termination of the
proposed storm drain system. All of the alternatives were designed to store the 100-
year storm volume in accordance with Riverside County Flood Control District
standards. The approximate costs shown for each alternative are for the construction of
the retention basin system orily, and do not include the storm drain pipes or structures. �
The alternatives shown on the attached Vicinity Map and are briefly described as
follows:
Alternative 1
This alternative involves constructing a conventional 3-acre open-air retention basin,
approximately 10 feet deep, on the property owned by RDA to the southeast of the
intersection. This open-air retention basin would provide storage for the entire 19.9
acre-feet of stormwater runoff.
Estimated Cost: $800,000
Alternative 2:
This alternative involves providing an 8-acre area for an underground retention system
to store the entire 19.9 acre-feet of required stormwater storage volume. The
underground system would be located on RDA property on the east side of Portola
Avenue.
Estimated Cost: $6,510,000
Staff Report
Intersection Improvements for Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive (Project 572-08)
December 10, 2009
Page 4 of 5
Alternative 3
This alternative incorporates a smaller open-air retention basin on RDA property to the
east of Portola Avenue, and a smaller underground retention system underneath the
driving range to the southeast of Desert Willow Court. The open-air basin would be
approximately 2 acres with a 13.5 acre-feet volume capacity. The remaining 6.5 acre-
feet of storage would be contained within a 2.75-acre underground retention system
underneath the driving range.
Estimated Cost: $2,690,000
Alternative 4
This alternative is similar to Alternative 3 in that it proposes a 2-acre open-air retention
basin in the same location on RDA property to the southeast of the intersection.
However, the proposed 2.75-acre underground retention system would be located to the
west of Portola Avenue located on privately owned property. This would require
obtaining additional land from the private property owner.
Estimated Cost: $6,060,000 (including ROW acquisition costs)
Alternative 5
This alternative is similar to Alternative 2 in that it entails providing an 8-acre area for an
underground retention system to store the entire 19.9 acre-feet of required stormwater
storage volume. The underground system would be located on the edge of the ROW to
the west of Portola Avenue. This would require obtaining additional land from the private
property owner.
Estimated Cost: $7,721,000 (including ROW acquisition costs)
At the City Manager's direction, staff proceeded with the design of Alternative 1
because it is the most economical way to attain the required storage, while providing
flexibility for future development opportunities. This will require an easement on parcel
620-400-003, which is owned by the RDA. The easement will be 188,545 square feet
� (4.3 acres of the 20-acre site) in the southern most portion of the parcel. However, wheri
the development takes place on this parcel, the basin can be reconfigured and designed
into the development. The retention basin has been sized to accommodate future
development on this lot. The retention basin will not be landscaped at this time;
however, landscaping will be incorporated into the ultimate retention basin when the site
is fully developed.
Kimley-Horn and Associates conducted an Initial Study (IS) for the project pursuant to
the CEQA. The IS and Notice of Availability/Notice of Intent to adopt a MND were
distributed to various public agencies and organizations on October 14, 2009, to initiate
a 30-day review period. The City received no comments during the review period.
Staff requests City Council adopt the MND and authorize the Director of Public Works to
execute and file the NOD with the County Clerk and the Governor's Office of Planning
and Research for the project.
The plans for the intersection improvements and storm drain system have been
prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates and are ready to bid. The landscape plan still
Staff Report
Intersection Improvements for Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive (Project 572-08)
December 10, 2009
Page 5 of 5
must be reviewed by the Landscape Beautification Committee. Staff is recommending
that City Council authorize staff to advertise the project for bids contingent upon final
staff approval of the plans and specification and after the landscape plan has been
approved by the Landscape Beautification Committee. Pending City Council
authorization to solicit bids and all utility relocation schedules, the proposed project
schedule is as follows:
Milestone Date
Authorize to Bid December 10, 2009

City Council Considers Construction Award February 25, 2010
Construction April — November 2010
Project Close-out/Acceptance December 2010
Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact. However, once the project has been bid, staff will
recommend the award of construction to the lowest qualified bidder for the construction
of the project. The project cost is estimated at $8,500,000, including environmental,
design, ROW acquisition, and construction. Summary as shown below:

SUBJECT
Palm Desert, CA—Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue Intersection Improvements
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This proposed project consists of widening Portola Avenue and improving the intersection at Portola
Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive,two major urban arterials in the City of Palm Desert. This project
will widen Portola Avenue,and improve the intersection at Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive
for traffic flow, pedestrian access, safety, and aesthetics. These improvements will bring the
intersection to an acceptable level of service, and support the City's traffic vision for 2020 as
described in the City's General Plan. The project will require right-of-way(ROW)acquisition along
the east and west side of Portola Avenue south of Frank Sinatra Drive, the east side of Portola
Avenue north of Frank Sinatra Drive,the south side of Frank Sinatra Drive west of Portola Avenue,
and the north side of Frank Sinatra Drive east of Portola Avenue. The necessary land acquisition
includes approximately 2.7 acres of ROW and an additiona13.0 acres for a retention basin southeast
of the intersection.
Improvements to Portola Avenue will include widening to three northbound through-lanes and three �
southbound through lanes. These improvements span approximately 3800 linear feet and include the
east side of Portola Avenue north of Frank Sinatra and the west side of Portola Avenue south of
Frank Sinatra. Also included will be a Transit-Signal-Priority traffic signal system,ADA compliant
ramps within the curb return areas, and intersection illumination.
Widening of the north side of Frank Sinatra Drive will include improvements to approximately 1450
linear feet east and west of Portola Avenue. The existing sidewalk will be moved against the curb
and several drainage inlets will be added along Frank Sinatra Drive.
The proposed additional drainage inlets will connect to an approximately 3.0 acre retention basin to
be constructed southeast of the intersection of Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue. This
retention basin will accommodate existing drainage as well as the drainage associated with the
additional impervious area. Other miscellaneous improvements include the addition of eight catch
basins along Heatherwood Drive, Drexell Drive, and Hollister Drive, relocating major utility
transmission lines along Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue, and planting approximately
100,000 square feet of landscaping in new medians.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The intersection of Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue is currently built as an all-way stop
control intersection with two thru lanes and a left-turn lane in each direction. Existing drainage is
conveyed in gutters and generally flows from north to south.
According to the City's General Plan, the surrounding land uses include Residential, Commercial,
and Open Space. Currently the northwestern corner of the intersection is comprised of single family
residences, the northeast and southwest corners of the intersection are undeveloped, and the
southeast corner of the intersection is a resort golf community.
The undeveloped areas consist of highly Disturbed Desert Scrub. No sensitive plants, animals, or
habitats are found within the proposed project footprint and none are expected due to the developed
and highly disturbed condition of the proposed project area.
Two archaeological sites(CA-RN-5080 and CA-RIV-12698)have been identified within a one-mile
radius of the project area, but none are listed within the project site. No cultural resources were
identified within the project area during the field surveys and no isolated cultural resources have
been identified within a one-mile radius of the project site.
Soil identified during the geotech analysis included poorly graded(well sorted)Aeolian sand. This
material was consistent in each of the bores and appeared dry to slightly moist,medium dense,fine
to medium grained, and very pale brown to light gray in color. The potential for erosion,
liquefaction, or expansive soils are considered low within the project area.
According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map # 06065C1615G, the project area is located in
Zone X, areas outside of the 500-year flood plain. The proposed project is not located within the
100-year floodplain.
FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
The City of Palm Desert conducted an Initial Study(attached),which determined that the proposed
project would have less than significant impacts on the environment. The project, as proposed,
avoids or mitigates any potentially significant environmental impacts, and the preparation of an
environmental impact report will not be required. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the
whole record before the City, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. If
there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another
environmental impact determination will be necessary.
The project includes measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to aesthetic/visual resources
and biological resources to a less-than-significant leveL
Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain
mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable.
In accordance with CEQA Section 15074.1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures
and substitute other measures which it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency
would adopt written findings that the new measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or
avoiding potential significant effects and that it,in itself,would not cause any potentially significant
effect on the environment.
1. Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation)
and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Palm Desert has
determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect
on the environment.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Palm Desert.
DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Aesthetics/Visual Resources
AV-1 Traffic lights will be designed and installed in accordance with the Palm Desert
Municipal Code Chapter 10,Vehicles and Traffic, City Development Standards so as
to minimize visual impact and reduce the potential for light and glare.

This proposed project consists of widening Portola Avenue and improving the intersection at Portola
Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive, two major urban arterials in the City of Palm Desert. This project
will widen Portola Avenue, and improve the intersection at Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive
for traffic flow, pedestrian access, safety, and aesthetics. These improvements will bring the
intersection to an acceptable level of service, and support the City's traffic vision for 2020 as described
in the City's General Plan. The project will require right-of-way (ROW) acquisition along the east and
west side of Portola Avenue south of Frank Sinatra Drive, the east side of Portola Avenue north of
Frank Sinatra Drive, the south side of Frank Sinatra Drive west of Portola Avenue, and the north side
of Frank Sinatra Drive east of Portola Avenue. The necessary land acquisition includes approximately
2.7 acres of ROW and an additiona13.0 acres for a retention basin.
Improvements to Portola Avenue will include widening to three northbound through-lanes and three
southbound through lanes. These improvements span approximately 3800 linear feet and include the
east side of Portola Avenue north of Frank Sinatra and the west side of Portola Avenue south of Frank
Sinatra. Also included will be a Transit-Signal-Priority traffic signal system, ADA compliant ramps
within the curb return areas, and intersection illumination.
Widening of the north side of Frank Sinatra Drive will include improvements to approximately 1650
feet of the ROW east and west of Portola Avenue. The existing sidewalk will be moved against the
curb and several drainage inlets will be added along Frank Sinatra Drive.
The proposed additional drainage inlets will connect to an approximately 3.0 acre retention basin to be
constructed southeast of the intersection of Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue. This retention
basin will accommodate existing drainage as well as the drainage associated with the additional
impervious area. Other miscellaneous improvements include the addition of eight catch basins along
Heatherwood Drive, Drexell Drive, and Hollister Drive, relocating major utility transmission lines
along Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue, and planting approximately 100,000 square feet of
landscaping in new medians.
9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings.)
According to the City's General Plan, the surrounding land uses include, Residential, Commercial, and
Open Space. Currently the northwestern corner of the intersection is single family residential, the
northeast and southwest corners of the intersection are undeveloped, and the southeast corner of the
intersection is resort golf community.
10. Other public agencies whose approval is required(e.g., permits, financing approval, or participation
agreement):
The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board will require a Clean Water Act Section 402
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Permit for construction impacts(SWPPP).
ll. Consistency with Previous EIR:
Not Applicable
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one
impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
Aesthetics Agriculture Resources Air Quality
Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology/Soils
Hazards &Hazardous Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use/Planning
Materials
Mineral Resources Noise Population/Housing
Public Services Recreation Transportation/Traffic
Utilities/Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency):
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
X I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a signi�cant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to
by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant" or "potentially significant unless
mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPt�CT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially
significant effects (a)have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR, including revisions ar mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,
nothing further is required.

a) Have a substantial adverse affect on a scenic vista? ❑ ❑ ❑ �
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not ❑ ❑ ❑ �

c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality ❑ ❑ � ❑
of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which ❑ ❑ � ❑
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Findings•
a, b) The proposed project entails intersection improvements around the existing intersection of Portola
Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive. These improvements include adding turn lanes within and adjacent
to the existing project footprint as well as adding additional drainage inlets that will flow to a retention
basin to the south. The only vertical component will be the addition of a traffic signal where there is
currently a four way stop at the Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive intersection. The project will
not have an adverse impact on a scenic vista and will not damage any scenic resources as there are no
scenic resources within the project area.
c, d) The proposed project will incorporate a new traffic signal at an intersection where there is currently a

a) The proposed project calls for intersection improvements at the intersection of Frank Sinatra
Drive and Portola Avenue. Improvements include constructing a traffic signal where there is
currently a four-way stop and realigning the road to include turn lanes. All improvements are
consistent with the ultimate 2020 build-out and there are no conflicts to the existing air quality
plan as discussed in the City of Palm Desert's General Plan.
b) An Air Quality Impact Assessment was conducted by Scientific Resources Associated in July 2009

Preliminary archival research for the Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue interchange improvements was
conducted in September 2008. A records search at the Eastern Information Center at the University of California,
Riverside was conducted on September 30, 2008 to identify previously documented resources within one mile of the
APE. In addition, the California Register of Historical Resources (1976), the California Historical Landmarks
(1995), and the California Points of Historical Interest (1993 and updates) were also consulted. Other resources
utilized included the National Register of Historic Places, the Historical American Building Survey/Historic
American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER), the collections of the University of California Los Angeles library
system, historic aerial photographs, and the California Historic Topographic Map Collection at California State
University, Chico. .
Seven previous cultural resources studies have been conducted within a one-mile radius of the project site. Of
these, two included portions of the project site. An additional four studies provide overviews of the cultural
resources in the general project vicinity.
a) The project area has sparse vegetation and has been disturbed through previous road-building and grading.
No historical resources are present within the project vicinity.
b) Two archaeological sites (CA-RIV-5080 and CA-RIV-12698) have been identified within a one-mile radius of
the project site. An archaeological survey was conducted of the project area in October 2008 and in July 2009
and did not identify any cultural resources within the project area. No archaeological sites are located within
the project site. No sites are listed on the Archaeological Determination of Eligibility (DOE) list. No isolated
cultural resources have been identified within a one-mile radius of the project site or within the project site
itself. Therefore, no impacts to cultural resources are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
c & d)Due to the extent of the work proposed it is unlikely that any unique paleontological resources will be
disturbed or destroyed. No unique geologic features exist in the project area. If human remains are
discovered the Coroner will be notified as required by the Public Resources Code and Health and Safety

Findings•
a) As part of the intersection improvements, the proposed Project will include drainage improvements. All
proposed conditions will meet water quality standards and waste discharge requirements set forth in the
Colorado River Basin Plan. Water will be discharged to an approximately 3 acre retention basin southeast of
the intersection. From this retention basin, water will percolate into the ground.
b) No groundwater withdrawals are proposed as part of this project, however groundwater recharge will be
affected as the impervious area will be increased during intersection improvements. To offset this increase in
impervious area, existing and additional stormwater runoff will be directed to the retention basin southeast
of the intersection where the stormwater will percolate through the ground and recharge groundwater
supplies.
c, d) The proposed improvements to the intersection of Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive will only provide
minor alterations to the existing drainage pattern and no impacts causing erosion or siltation are anticipated.
Part of the project includes correcting flooding problems by directing existing flows into the proposed
retention basin.
e) Run-off created by the addition of impervious area from the project will be treated by the proposed retention
basin. This retention basin represents the best available treatment option for stormwater runoff.
� The proposed project will not degrade water quality. Appropriate best management practices (BMP)
associated with the required federal NPDES permit, and all other existing federal and state regulations
regarding water quality will be adhered to, as required through the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP).
g, h) According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map # 06065C1615G, the area is located in Zone X, areas
outside of the 500 year flood plain. The proposed project is not located within the 100-year tloodplain, nor
does it include any housing, therefore there are no potential flooding impacts to housing or structures.
i) . The proposed Project is not located downstream of a levy, therefore there is no significant risk of loss, injury
or death involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam.
j) The proposed Project is located over 100 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and is not downstream of any
significant body of water. There is no risk of exposure to inundation by seiche or tsunami. The topography
around the project area is relatively flat; therefore mudslides are not a risk either.

b) No new water treatment facilities are proposed or necessary for the proposed project.
c) The proposed Project will increase surface runoff. A storm water system, including a retention basin, has been
designed and will be constructed to accommodate Project-induced water runoff. With implementation of the
drainage facilities, stormwater will be mitigated to below historic flows. Therefore the Project will have a less
than significant impact on the storm drain system.
d) The proposed project will not require the use of any additional water resources.

Mandatory Findings of Significance. Would the Project
a) Does the Project have the potential to degrade the quality of ❑ ❑ � ❑
the environment, substantially reduce the habitat or a fish or
wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels,threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number of restrict the range of
a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the Project have impacts that are individually limited, ❑ ❑ � ❑
but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"
means that the incremental effects of a Project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of
past projects, the effects of other current Project, and the
effects of probable future projects.)
c) Does the Project have environmental effects, which will ❑ ❑ � ❑
cause substantial adverse affects on human beings, either
directly ar indirectly?
Findings•
a) The proposed project consists of the widening and signalization of an existing intersection. A minor increase
in ROW will be required; however impacts to habitat or wildlife species will be less than significant. The
development will not impact any threatened or endangered species.
b) The proposed project is not increasing the number of vehicles on the road, it will bring the intersection of
Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue to an acceptable level of service, and support the City's traffic
vision for 2020 as described in the City's General Plan. Subsequently, there will be no cumulative affects to
traftic, air quality, ar noise. Impacts from the proposed project are not significant by themselves or in
combination with past or future projects within the area. The Project will not cause any new direct or
cumulatively considerable impacts.
c) As described in the Air Quality, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, Public Service, and Utilities and
Service Systems sections of this Initial Study, the Project will not cause any substantial direct or indirect
adverse affects on human beings; there is no significant impact.

Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola Avenue Intersection Improvements
Mitigation Monitoring Program Contents
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) for the Frank Sinatra Drive and Portola
Avenue Intersection Improvements project. The MMP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for the
purpose of the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to
understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself.
Legal Basis of and Purpose for the Mitigation Monitoring Program
California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring
or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report (EIR) or a mitigated negative
declaration (MND). This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted
through the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)process.
The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project. It is intended to be used by City of Palm
Desert (City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during
implementation of the project.
Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:
• Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action
• Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation
• Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment
• Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life
of the proj ect
• Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments '
The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation
measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as
necessary, on-site identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City
staff.
Mitigation Monitoring Table
The Mitigation Monitoring Table identifies the mitigation measures proposed for the project. These
mitigation measures are reproduced from the Initial Study and conditions of approval. The table has the
following columns:
Mitigation Measure: Lists the mitigation measures identified within the Initial Study for a specific impact,
along with the number for each measure as enumerated in the Initial Study.
Timing: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or phase the mitigation measure will be
completed.
Agency/Department Consultation: References the City department or any other public agency with
which coordination is required to satisfy the identified mitigation measure.
Verification: Spaces to be initialed and dated by the individual designated to verify adherence to a specific
mitigation measure.
Noncompliance Complaints
Any person or agency may file a complaint asserting noncompliance with the mitigation measures
associated with the project. The complaint shall be directed to the City in written form, providing specific
information on the asserted violation. The City shall conduct an investigation and deternune the validity of
the complaint. If noncompliance with a mitigation measure has occurred, the City shall take appropriate
action to remedy any violation. The complainant shall receive written confirmation indicating the results of
the investigation or the final action corresponding to the particular noncompliance issue.
