F. Planning Commission Meeting:
At the January 21,2014, Planning Commission meeting, staff presented the project to the
Commission. Staff stated that 1,522 legal notices were mailed out to owners of property
within 4,000 feet of the subject property. In addition, a legal notice was published in the
Desert Sun on December 27, 2013. Staff stated they had received two letters from one
property owner within Cahuilla Hills. Staff informed the Commission that they have been
working with that property owner for several months, because he has been opposed to the
applicant having access through the County roads. Staff stated that the applicant has legal
access through Cahuilla Hills, and that the County of Riverside has no concerns. Staff
stated that a condition of approval was placed on the project that the applicant must pave
the dirt road portion of Chuckawalla Way.
The Commission did have some comments and concerns. Commissioner DeLuna
expressed concern with reflection coming from the infinity pool. Staff stated that the pool is
south facing and glare should not be a factor. Commissioner Stendell asked if the City has
any re-naturalization standards. Staff replied that the City does not, but staff works with the
applicant to re-naturalize areas to the extent required to satisfy the City. Commissioner
Greenwood wanted to verify the location of the A/C units,since they were not shown on the
plans. The applicant stated that the A/C units would be located on the ground, not on the
roof.
During the public hearing, Mr. Paul Bowie,who submitted the two letters in opposition, read
his letter dated January 21,2014,which was given to the Commission prior to the meeting.
Mr. Bowie stated, if the access way is approved, the applicant should pave the dirt road
portion of Chuckawalla Way. He requested that the applicant be conditioned to meet
Riverside County standards of street improvements, PM10 requirements, and all other
County requirements, prior to the City issuing a building permit. Staff informed Mr. Bowie
that a condition of approval imposing these requirements has already been added to the
resolution.Overall,the Commission stated that the architecture of the home blends into the
hillside, and recommended approval to the City Council on a 5-0 vote.

Proiect Description
The applicant is requesting approval of a hillside development plan for precise plan of design to
allow a new 4,000-square-foot single-family home with a 473-square-foot detached garage on a
nine-acre parcel. The 4,000-square-foot home consists of a great room, dining room, kitchen,
den/office, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a casita, and wine storage room. The applicant is also
proposing to grade 15,722 square feet of pervious and impervious area to accommodate the
home, garage, patio areas, pool/deck area, new gravel driveway,and a 9,733-square-foot building
pad.The building pad is proposed at the southeast quadrant of the parcel,slightly off centered and
placed between two ridgelines.
The project site is designed with one driveway with access from Chuckawalla Way, which is
currently connected to the applicant's property. The portion of Chuckwalla Way is currently a dirt
road.
A. Architecture:
The proposed home maintains an architectural style that is characterized as modern.The
home is one story high with varying rooflines between 11 feet and 14 feet with an overall
building height of 18 feet in height. The varying roofline heights are intended to mimic the
different levels of hills to break up the massing. The architectural design utilizes strong
horizontal lines broken up with smooth metal panel and tinted glass faces. The home
maintains deep overhangs and low-emissivity tinted glass to help control the solar heat
gain. The building materials include stucco, metal, tinted glass, and colors that are
predominantly desert tones that will blend into the natural terrain, and minimize any glare
from Highway 74.
B. Landscaping:
The landscape design consists of a natural desert theme with native species requiring
minimal water usage. The proposed landscape plan provides for 30"box Blue Palo Verde
trees and 30" box Ironwood trees around the property. In addition, the plan includes a
variety of native perennials, grasses, and accents including Desert Agave, Dye Weed,
Brittle Brush, Bladder Pod, Ratany, Deer Grass, Desert Mallow,decomposed granite,and
boulders.
Preliminary approval from the City's Landscape Specialist has been granted.A condition of
approval has been placed on the project stating that all landscape and lighting for the
facility will be strictly on site, and will not intrude onto surrounding properties. Other
conditions are that the plant selection is in conformance with the City's Desert Floral
Palette, and a final landscaping plan must be reviewed and approved by the City's
Landscaping Manager and by CVWD before building permits are issued.

The purpose of the hillside planned residential district is to encourage minimal grading as it relates
to the natural contours of the land, while avoiding extensive cut and fill slopes in the hillside area.
The development standards also encourage architecture and landscape design that blends with
the natural terrain, and protects undisturbed viewsheds and natural landmarks and features,
including vistas and the natural skyline, as integral in development proposals in hillside areas.
The H.P.R. development standards allow for a maximum dwelling size of 4,000 square feet,
including garage and accessory structures. In addition,the total disturbed area allowed is 10,000
square feet.As proposed,the applicant is requesting two exceptions,both of which are allowed by
code, one to the maximum area disturbed by grading, and the second to the maximum home
square-footage.The exceptions may be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council,
by taking into consideration such matters as viewsheds, topography, color, texture, re-
naturalization of disturbed areas, and sensitive building design and orientation. The following
analysis for the exceptions is in the sections below.
A. Height/View Shed:
The H.P.R. zone does not have a height limit; it's based on the approved precise plan of
design by the Planning Commission and City Council. The proposed residence is single-
story,with an overall height of 18 feet. In comparison,other single-family zones in the area
allow a maximum building height of 18 to 20 feet.
• East and southeast - Indian Springs Mobile Home Park and Silver Spur Mobile
Home Park/ Maximum roof height of 18 feet.
• South - Bighorn Mountains Development/Maximum roof height of 20 feet.
• East side of Highway 74 - single-family homes/Maximum roof height of 18 feet.
• West - County/ Roof heights between 15 feet and 20 feet.
For this project, a variety of visual studies have been prepared to evaluate the potential
impacts of the proposed project. These studies have included on-site field and
photographic studies, and the use of story-poles to illustrate the future building heights on
site. Staff required the applicant to provide a viewshed studyfrom distinct areas to illustrate
any potential impacts from Highway 74 looking west, as well as from locations within the
Cahuilla Hills area. The viewshed studies are attached to the staff report. These studies
illustrate the building, materials, and color in context with the natural terrain and the
surrounding properties. Staff found that there were four small viewing corridors along
Highway 74 in front of Silver Spur Mobile Home Park where a small portion of the home is
visible.Also,views to the site from public roads within the County and from residents within
Silver Spur and Indian Springs Mobile Home Parks looking west were limited. The
proposed height and site location is supported by staff, as it will not adversely impact any
viewsheds or diminish property values.

B. Grading:
The proposed project will result in disturbing 15,722 square feet. The area exceeds the
allowable amount by 5,722 square feet. The total disturbed grading area is 4 percent of
the nine-acre parcel. In comparison, the hillside development standards allow 10,000
square feet of grading on a five-acre property. Based on a five-acre property with 10,000
square feet of disturbed area as allowed,the total disturbed area could be 4.5 percent of
the parcel. Below is the breakdown.
• Building area (dirt) = 5,299 square feet
• Two-car garage are =432 square feet
• Concrete deck and pool area= 5,069 square feet
• Total disturbed impervious area= 9,542 square feet
• Driveway area (dirt) = 5,299 square feet
• Landscape area (planter) = 2,144 square feet
• 2:1 cut/fill slope area= 5,066 square feet
• Total disturbed pervious area= 12,509 square feet
• Removed/restored/existing driveway area= (-6,329) square feet
• Net disturbed pervious area = 6,180 square feet
Total disturbed area (pervious and impervious) = 15,722 square feet
Site grading is being kept to a minimum and a portion of an existing dirt road will be
abandoned and re-naturalized.The manufactured slope supporting the patio and pool area
will be naturalized with boulders and desert native landscaping. The new driveway will
consist of gravel,which is permeable and allows rainwater to percolate directly into the soil.
C. Land Use Compatibility:
The proposed project is zoned H.P.R. and designated Hillside Reserve in the General
Plan, which requires a maximum of one unit per five acres. These designations are
consistent with the proposed land use and project with the processing and approval of the
precise plan of design.
The project is located in south Palm Desert, where there is a mix of residential
developments.The project does not physically divide an existing community,and does not
conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy,or regulation outlined in the General Plan.
In terms of use, the project is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance, by providing a
single-family home, which complies with one unit per five acres. Other aspects of the
project, maximum disturbed grading area,and maximum square-footage,can be approved
by the exceptions portion of the H.P.R. development standards.

Conclusion
Staff is very cognizant of the sensitivity of developing within the hillside.The applicant is requesting
two exceptions which are allowed by code.The exceptions are merited based on architecture and
landscaping design that will blend into the natural terrain and protect viewsheds and natural
skylines in the hillside areas. The additional square footage and the disturbed grading area of 4
percent of the nine-acre parcel are minimal.The building's architecture incorporates flat roofs with
a maximum height of 18 feet, stucco, metal,tinted glass,and colors that are predominantly desert
tones that will blend into the natural terrain,and minimize any glare from Highway 74.All disturbed
areas will be re-naturalized with native landscaping that will also blend into the natural terrain.
Overall, staff supports the two exceptions since the project's site design, architecture, color,
materials,and landscaping effectively achieve the HPR's goals of blending development into the
natural terrain.
Environmental Review
According to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff must determine whether a
proposed activity is a project subject to CEQA. If the project is subject to CEQA,staff must conduct
a preliminary assessment of the project to determine whether the project is exempt from CEQA
review. If a project is not exempt,further environmental review is necessary. Further review from a
non-exempt project would result in a Negative Declaration,a Mitigated Negative Declaration or an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Generally, an EIR must be prepared if a project may have a
significant impact on the environment.
In this case, the proposed project includes the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact as it relates to the project, pursuant to section 15074 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mitigation measures required to minimize environmental
impact are fully described in the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Purpose and Need
The project proposes the construction of a single-family residence in an area designated as "Hillside
Planned Residential" (HPR). This designation requires a separate "Precise Plan" development approval
for projects in the hillside development in order to assure minimal and contoured hillside grading,
avoidance of excess cut and fill slopes, building and landscape design that blends with the natural
terrain, and retention of scenic vistas, and natural landmarks and features.
.� Pi��,_ �1e International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 2
The proposed development exceeds the allowed maximum grading area of 10,000 square feet,
proposing approximately 15,772 square feet of site disturbance. The total building size exceeds the
allowable 4,000 square foot limit by approximately 473 square feet.
Project Location and Limits
The proposed project is located in the on the border of the City of Palm Desert and the County of
Riverside, and is accessed from Highway 74 via Cahuilla Way, Cholla Way, Paisano Road and
Chuckawalla Way. The site is located a short distance upslope and northwest of the Palm Valley
Stormwater Channel and is just south of the Stone Eagle development. The project involves Assessor's
Parcel 652-090-001, and lands to the south, southeast and north are under the same ownership. The
project site can also be described as a portion of the S 1/2 of the W 1/2 of Government Lot 2, in the
NW1/4 of Section 31, T.SS., R.6E.
Project Description
The project proposes the construction of a single-family residence on a 9-acre parcel. The development
site includes access by the westerly extension of Chuckawalla Way. The proposed residence would
encompass approximately 4,500 square feet (residence proper is 4,000 s�, including the garage, and
would result in a total disturbed area of approximately 15,772 square feet. The residence will be a
stepped single story with a maximum height of 18-feet above grade. The landscape plan calls for a
xeriscape design with boulders, gravels and native and other draught-tolerant trees, shrubs and
groundcovers.
The project also involves the abandonment and re-naturalization of an existing dirt road that
encompasses approximately 6,329 square feet. A six-foot chain link fence is also proposed to surround
and enclose the development portion of the site. Proposed grading will create a 10,000± square foot
building pad with the garage and access drive terminating at the upslope portion of the development
site, and the pool and landscaped fill area oriented to the south (see Exhibit 2: Preliminary Grading
Plan).
Surrounding Land Uses & Setting
North: Scattered single family residential, Stone Eagle development, vacant foothills
South: Vacant foothills, extensive grading, debris basin, Palm Valley Stormwater Channel
East: Vacant foothills, Palm Valley Stormwater Channel, multi-family residential
West: Scattered single family residential, vacant foothills
Other Required Public Agency Approvals
None required.
Summary of CEQA Findings:
This Initial Study has been prepared in conformance with Section 15063 and other applicable sections of
the CEQA Guidelines, to determine if the project, as proposed, may have a significant effect upon the
environment in general and hillside and viewshed assets in particular. Based upon the findings contained
within this report, the Initial Study will be used in support of the preparation of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

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 re ared.
� I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been
made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be re ared.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is re uired.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1)has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)
has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on
attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must
anal ze onl the effects that remain to be addressed.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could 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 or NEGATIVE DECLARATION,
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 10
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources
show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project
falls outside a fault nipture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based
on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive
receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant
with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant ImpacY' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"
to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,
and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiring, program EIR or EIS, or other CEQA
or NEPA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or EIS or negative
declaration or FONSI. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify
the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific
conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources
for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared
or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of e�ch issue should identify:
a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance
c) Minimization measures, if any, if mitigation measures are not required

Source:Project plans and materials;Site surveys;City of Palm Desert Municipal Code;Visualizations,JYOM Architecture,
2013;Site survey.
Background: The subject property is located on the border of the City of Palm Desert and the County of
Riverside. The area is in the southwest quadrant of the City of Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley area
of Riverside County. The areas scenic resources include the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains to
the south and west, respectively, and the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north. The subject
property is in the lower foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains west of State Highway 74, with rising
terrain to the northwest. The site has been extensively impacted by a network of dirt roads that have
somewhat marred the site. Scenic views in the project area include all cardinal points and views from
Highway 74 also take in portions of the Cahuilla Hills, although these views are substantially screen by
intervening development.
Discussion of Impacts:
a) The proposed project will result in the grading of a 9,733 square-foot pad and the extension of a
private driveway to the home site. The residence will be sited on the southeast-facing slope of
the property a short distance north of Chuckawalla Way extended. Lands to the west and
northwest are of higher elevations and include scattered single-family development. Lands
farther west and northwest are rising terrain forming a more distance backdrop. The project will
also remove and re-naturalize 6,328± square feet of existing dirt road on the property. Views to
the site from public roads are limited. The site also includes lands closer to Highway 74, which
will not be disturbed. As planned for integration into the slope, with rising terrain above and with
the use of desert vegetation and boulders, the proposed project should have a less than significant
impact on scenic vistas in the area.
b-c) The project site is not located in proximity to a scenic highway or historic building and is
consistent with surrounding residential development, although State Highway 74 is an Eligible
Scenic Highway but has not be so designated by Caltrans.
� .;� Pii.:�e International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 12
The visual character of the site and area has already been impacted by the surrounding
development of formal and informal roads, and scattered and continuing single-family residential
development on surrounding lands. The building grading plan, design, color scheme and
landscape plan should help integrate the proposed home into the hillside. The development is not
expected to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site or its
surroundings.
The affected portion of the site will follow the natural contours of the hillside, resulting in site
disturbance substantially conforming to the existing surrounding slope and rock outcroppings.
The landscape plan calls for the use of boulders in "desert gold". It is recommended that newly
fractured and imported rock should be treated with an oxidation accelerant (Permeon or
equivalent) to match the natural desert varnish of the surrounding rock (see mitigation measures
below). Also, landscaping will be applied to the affected areas to remain consistent with
surrounding properties. With implementation of such measures, impacts to the visual character of
site and scenic resources will be less than significant.
d) The proposed project will result in the abandonment and re-naturalization of an existing dirt road
and the construction of a new gravel driveway, resulting in a modest reduction in on-site road
disturbance. A lighting plan was not provided with the project landscape plan and, given the
site's prominent location, thoughtfully designed and minimally illuminated lighting should be
prescribed (see mitigation measures below). Landscape and security lighting should be minimal
and may be associated with driveway illumination, landscaping and the entryway, and should be
consistent with the type and intensity of light generated by existing single-family development in
the immediate vicinity. The proposed project will be required to abide by the City's outdoor
lighting standards, which requires lighting practices that reduce light pollution. A lighting plan
must be submitted as a part of the final landscape plan and approved prior to development, and
all required conditions of approval will be applied. With implementation of these measures and
compliance with City lighting standards, lighting impacts associated with the proposed project
are expected to be less than significant
Minimization Measures (If any):
Minimization measures have been incorporated into the project design and include minimum driveway
width and abandonment of a dirt road. Landscaping will enhance and re-naturalize the modified slope
and landscape lighting must be shielded to avoid spillage onto the road or adjoining properties.
Mitigation
l. Grading and rock removal shall be closely monitored, native rock should be stored and used in
re-landscaping the site once construction is completed to assure minimal impacts and the
creation of a rock surface that mimics natural rock assemblages in the vicinity.
2. Both native and imported fractured rock shall be treated with an oxidation accelerant (Permeon
or equivalent) to match the natural desert varnish of the surrounding rock.
3. The detailed landscape and lighting plan shall be reviewed and approved by City staff to assure
minimal and unobtn►sive lighting in conformance with applicable City standards and guidelines.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 14
Discussion of Impacts:
a) The subject property is not designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance, according to the California Department of Conservation, nor is it used for
agricultural purposes. Additionally, there are no properties in the immediate area designated as
Farmland of Statewide Importance. The project area is designated as "Urban and Built-Up Land"
by the State, and has a General Plan designation of"Hillside Reserve". The proposed project will
have no impact on farmlands.
b) There are no Williamson Act contracts on the subject property or properties in the immediate
vicinity. The subject property is currently designated " Hillside Reserve " and is surrounded by
scattered very low-density residential development and vacant desert slopes. The Stone Eagle
development is located a short distance to the north and higher density residential development
occurs east and southeast on the east side of the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel. The proposed
project is consistent with this designation and the surrounding land use pattern. The proposed
project will not conflict with surrounding zoning designations.
c,d) The subject property is not located in an area designated as forest land and will not conflict with
forestland zoning. The project will not result in the loss of forestland.
e) As described above, the proposed project is not designated as farmland, or located near areas of
existing farmland; therefore, the project will not result in the direct conversion of existing
farmland to non-agricultural uses.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page l5
Background: The City of Palm Desert is located in the Coachella Valley, which is a low elevation
desert environment characterized by low annual rainfall (2 to 6 inches per year) and low humidity, with
temperatures ranging from 80° F to 108 °F in July and 40° F to 57° F in Jamiary. The Coachella Valley
is located within the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). All development within the SSAB is subject to
SCAQMD's 2012 Air Quality Management Plan (2012 AQMP) and the 2003 Coachella Valley PMio
State Implementation Plan (2003 CV PMio SIP). The SCAQMD operates and maintains regional air
quality monitoring stations at numerous locations throughout its jurisdiction. The proposed site is
located within Source Receptor Area (SRA) 30, which includes monitoring stations in Palm Springs and
Indio. The Indio site has been operational since 1985 and the Palm Springs site since 1987.
Historically, the Coachella Valley has been classified as being in non-attainment for both ozone (03) and
PMio. The Federal Clean Air Act has classified the SSAB as a "serious" non-attainment area for the 8-
hour state standard. SCAQMD recognizes that neighboring South Coast Air Basins contribute to local
ozone levels, which make it difficult for the region to come into compliance with Federal ozone
standards by June 2013. Therefore, the SSAB has requested a reclassification of "severe-15" and must
achieve attainment by June 15, 2019. In regards to PMio, the California Air Resources Board (ARB)
approved the Coachella Valley PM�o Redesignation Request on February 25, 2010. SCAQMD requested
redesignation by the US EPA from serious nonattainment to attainment for the PM�o National Ambient
Air Quality Standard. According to the EPA, the Coachella Valley is still classified as being in serious
nonattainment for PM10 as of July 31, 2013.
Discussion of Impacts:
a) The project will be developed in accordance with all applicable air quality management plans.
The subject property is located within the SSAB, which is governed by the SCAQMD.
SCAQMD is responsible for monitoring criteria air pollutant concentrations and establishing
management policies for the SSAB. As previously mentioned, all development within the SSAB,
including the proposed project, is subject to the 2012 AQMP and the 2003 CVPMio SIP.
The 2012 AQMP is a comprehensive plan that establishes control strategies and guidance on
regional emission reductions for air pollutants. It was based, in part, on the land use plans of the
jurisdictions in the region. The proposed project is consistent with the City of Palm Desert's land
use designations assigned to the subject property, and therefore, is consistent with the intent of
the 2012 AQMP.
b-c) Both constniction and operational phases of the proposed project will result in the release of
criteria air pollutants. The California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) was used to
project air quality emissions that will be generated by construction and operation of the proposed
residence.
Construction Emissions
As discussed above, construction activities result in the emission of air quality pollutants from
site preparation, grading, building construction, and off gassing from paving and architectural
coating. The site is currently vacant and does not contain pre-existing structures or facilities. For
analysis purposes, it is assumed that constri.iction will occur over a 6-month period extending
from about January 2014 to June 2015.Criteria pollutant emissions from construction activities
are short term, and will end once construction is complete.
Pi�.��le International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page l6
As shown in Table l, emissions generated by construction activities will not exceed SCAQMD
thresholds of significance for criteria air pollutants. The data reflect average daily emissions over
the 6-month construction period. It should be mentioned that the table below shows the worst-
case emission scenario and projected unmitigated emissions.

Exceeds Threshold? No No No No No No
Source: CaIEEMod Version 201 I.l.L Value shown represents the average emissions from summer and winter,

Implementation of standard reduction measures during construction will further reduce emission
levels. Applicable reduction measures include, but are not limited to, the implementation of dust
control practices in conformance with SCQAMD Rule 403 and proper maintenance and limited
idling of heavy equipment. Impacts to air quality from construction of the proposed project for
criteria pollutants, therefore, will be less than significant.
Operational Emissions
Operational emissions are ongoing emissions that will occur over the life of the residential use.
The project will result in a new private driveway and the abandonment and re-naturalization of
an existing dirt road. Operational emissions will be associated with the use of electricity and
natural for lighting, HVAC and other uses. According to the CaIEEMod report (see Appendix
A), the project is only expected to emit 0.54 lbs/day of ROG due to the ongoing use of
landscaping equipment and general maintenance activities.

Non-Attainment
Historically, the Coachella Valley, which includes the proposed project site, has been classified
as a "non-attainment" area for PMio and Ozone. The proposed project will contribute to a modest
incremental increase in regional ozone and PMio emissions. However, this impact is not
expected to be cumulatively considerable. Project construction and operation emissions will not
exceed SCAQMD thresholds for PMio or ozone precursors (NOX), and appropriate standard
reduction measures will be implemented that will further reduce emissions. The project will not
conflict with any attainment plans and will result in less than significant impacts.
c) The nearest sensitive receptors to the subject property are single-family homes located immediately
west and northwest of the project site. Medium density residential development occurs across the
stormwater channel and approximately 500-feet to the southeast. As discussed above, the proposed
project will not result in violations of SCAQMD thresholds during its construction or operation.

generate significant adverse localized air quality impacts. LST for SRA 30 (Coachella Valley) are
summarized in the table below for sensitive receptors located 50 meters from the emission source
(single-family homes located immediately west and northwest). The area of disturbance onsite will
be limited 1-acres. As shown below in Table 3, LST thresholds will not be exceeded during
construction of the proposed project.

Potential effects to sensitive receptors will be further reduced through the implementation of
effective dust control practices in conformance with SCAQMD Rule 403. These include, but are
not limited to, the use of soil stabilizers, routine watering of unpaved roads and disturbed
surfaces, reduced vehicle speeds on unpaved roads, routine cleaning of roads, and covering of
import/export soils during transport. Air quality impacts to nearby sensitive receptors will be less
than significant.
e) The project will result in the development of a 4,000 square foot single-family residence and private
driveway, and is not expected to create objectionable odors.

General Plan&EIR,2004;Biological Survey of the Crest Development Site,prepared by AMEC Earth&Environmental,
2002.
Background: The project site is located within an urbanized area of the City of Palm Desert that has
been impacted over several decades through the introduction of dirt and paved roadways, introduction of
non-native plant species, flood control projects and development of single-family residences. The site is
located in the lower foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
The nearest Conservation Area as established by the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) is the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area, which
is located approximately one-half miles from the site. An on-foot site survey was conducted to evaluate
the value of habitat, including the occurrence of sensitive plant and wildlife species.
No sign of Peninsular bighorn sheep (scat, bedding areas, scrapes, etc.) were identified at or in the
vicinity of the site, which is consistent with the proximity of the site to existing development, including
roads and homes. The nearest recorded historic sheep sighting is approximately three-quarters of a mile
to the west. Native vegetation was limited to creosote bush (Larrea tridentata); brittle bush (Encilin
f�irinosc�); and desert lavender (Hyptis emori). No sensitive plant species were identified nor are any
expected to occur in the vicinity.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 19
Discussion of Impacts:
a) The project site is located east of identified critical habitat for the federal and state listed
Peninsular bighorn sheep (PBS), which occupy the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. The
subject property is located at the eastern margin of the Cahuilla Hills, an irregular lower area of
the Santa Rosa Mountains foothills. The site is surrounded by existing residential development,
flood control improvements and vacant desert. Therefore, the site is substantially isolated from
occupied sheep habitat, and will not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or indirectly
through habitat modifications, on PBS or any other species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species.
b-c) The proposed project site is not located on or near areas of riparian habitat or wetlands. The
project site is located on the rocky lower slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains foothills. The
proposed project will have no impact on riparian species or habitat, wetlands or other sensitive
natural communities, including marshes or vernal pools, or through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption of a natural drainage.
d) The project will have a very limited impact on lands along the margin of the Santa Rosa
Mountain foothills, and is bounded on the east by limited vacant lands and a flood control
channel. Other development in the area is a deterrent to wildlife movement, although a variety of
mammals, reptiles and birds may move through the area. Only a limited portion of the 18+ acre
site will be enclosed in a chain link fence, limiting the effect on wildlife movement. Project
development and associated site disturbance and proposed improvements will not interfere
substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or
with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native
wildlife nursery sites.
e- � The subject site lies outside the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area
established by the adopted Coachella Valley MSHCP. It does, however, occur within the fee
mitigation area established by the plan and a pro rata impact fee will be required prior to the
issuance of grading permits or site development. Implementation of mitigation measures set forth
below will further reduce impacts to levels that area less than significant.
Minimization Measures:
None.
Mitigation
While the subject property is not located adjacent to a CVMSHCP Conservation Area and is expected to
have a less than significant impact on sensitive plants or wildlife, the following measures are
recommended to further avoid or minimize potential "edge effects." These mitigation measures further
minimize potential impacts to biological resources.
1. The following measures shall be implemented by the project to assure minimum impacts to
sensitive plants and wildlife.
Toxics: No improvements or product that require hazardous or toxic chemicals, or that generate
toxic or potentially toxic bioproducts, or may adversely impact native wildlife and plant species,
their habitat, or water quality, should be use.

Li,htin� Project lighting, including landscape, roadway and entrance drive lighting, shall be
shielded and directed away from adjoining lands. Landscape shielding or other appropriate
methods shall be incorporated in project designs to minimize the effects of lighting adjacent
lands. Minimal lighting is recommended throughout the project.
Noise: Noise generated from project development shall be kept to the lowest level practicable.
Rock removal and other construction noise generating activities shall be completed in the most
expeditious manner practicable. No blasting is planned as a part of the rock removal process.
Invasive Plants: Landscape plans for the project shall avoid the use of invasive, non-native plant
species. Ornamental plant species to be avoided include but are not limited to oleander (see
Table 4-113 of the CVMSHCP. To the maximum extent feasible, Coachella Valley native plant
species (see Table 4-112 of the CVMSHCP) will be incorparated into the project landscape
des ign.
2 Prior to the issuance of grading permits the applicant shall pay a pro rata share of developer
impact fees as required under the CVMSHCP. The project engineer shall calculate and document
the amount of new disturbance associated with the subject project, which shall serve as the basis
for the fee mitigation.
Monitoring
A. Prior to the initiation of rock removal, the required detailed landscaping and lighting plan shall
be reviewed and approved by the City Community Development Department for consistency
with the above mitigation measures.
Responsible Parties: Project landscape architect, project manager, City Community
Development Department.
B. Prior to the issuance of grading permits the City shall collect the requisite developer impact
mitigation fee required under the CVMSHCP.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 2l
Background: Cultural and Historic Resources-_Cultural resources in the Coachella Valley are typically
found in specific locale associated with habitation sites, lithic workshops, water sources and food
gathering and milling sites. Trails and sacred places are also sometimes identified in the valley.
The City of Palm Desert is located within the territory ethnographically associated with the Cahuilla
people. This language group is within the Cupan subgroup of the Takic family of the Uta-Aztecan stock.
The Takic family includes Cupeno, Gabrielino, and the Luiseno people. Prehistorically, a large portion
of Cahuilla territory was inundated by Lake Cahuilla, which provided the focus for settlement and
resources in the eastern portion of the Coachella Valley. The northwestern-most extension of ancient
Lake Cahuilla was at Point happy, today the intersection of Washington Street and Highway 111,
approximately five miles east of the project site.
The first noted European explorers in the Coachella Valley were Jose Romero, Jose Maria Estudillo and
Romualdo Pacheco. They traveled through the Coachella Valley on expeditions searching for a route to
Yuma, Arizona between 1823 and 1825. In 1862, the Cocomaricopa Trail, an ancient Native American
trade route, was "discovered" by William David Bradshaw and subsequently was referred to as the
Bradshaw Trail. During the 1860s and 1870s, until the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad (now
Union Pacific), the Bradshaw Trail was the primary thoroughfare between southern California and the
Colorado River. This historic wagon road followed a path similar to present-day Highway 111, located
about 1.5 miles north of the project site. In the 1870s, with the establishment of railroad stations along
the Southern Pacific Railroad, settlement of the Coachella Valley by peoples of European decent began.
The Homestead Act, the Desert Land Act, and other federal land laws in the 1880s further expanded
settlement. Artesian wells served to establish farming as the primary economic activity in the eastern
portion of the valley and east of the City.
In the project vicinity, there is evidence of food gathering and milling sites associated with the stand of
mesquite found in Bnice Creek to the north. Several surveys have been conducted on lands in the
vicinity, including near the subject property (CA-Riv-88/578/3138 and 2955). The area lands north of
the site appear to harbor the most archaeological resources, including rock cairns, ceramic scatters,
milling and lithic work sites, and habitat debris. These sites, which are approximately one-half miles
north of the subject property, are thought to be associated with ethno-botanical resources (honey and
screw bean mesquite) found in the mouth of Bruce Creek. Most of these resources are comprised of
single milling slicks and pottery shards.
The proposed project involves the limited grading and site disturbance to provide a new access drive and
a 4,500± square foot building pad for a 4,000 square foot home and two-car garage. Total site
disturbance will total about 15,700 square feet. The project includes removal of an existing dirt road and
the construction of another drive.
Neither the project site nor immediate area indicated any current or historic sources of water. Also there
were no ethno-botanical resources, such as honey or screw bean mesquite, or desert fan palm on the site
nor other ethno-botanical resources. No signs of habitat were identified and no other cultural resources
were found.
Paleontological Resources- During the site survey, conditions were evaluated for their potential to
harbor paleontological resources. Fossil remains are found primarily in the geologic deposits within
which they were originally buried. Since there is a direct relationship between fossils and the types of
rock formations where they can be found, knowledge of the geology of an area can help in predicting the
likelihood of the existence of fossils.
� r �
Pi�1.-:`� e International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 22
Paleontological resources are limited and nonrenewable. The west Coachella Valley has yielded a
variety of fossils in the past, but are mainly found in the sedimentary formations typical of lower upland
areas. The valley floors in the project area are underlain by deep alluvial, fluvian, and aeolian deposits,
mainly sand, silt, and gravel, which in some areas are hundreds of feet thick. These deposits have a low
potential for yielding fossils.
Record searches from the University of California at Riverside (UCR) revealed no known fossil
localities within the boundaries of the City. However, this record also indicates that there is the potential
that fossil materials may be located in older alluvium. These potential resources would be expected to
occur east of the City near the high water mark of ancient Lake Cahuilla at the vicinity of Highway 111
and Washington Street, which left deposits of freshwater clams.
The granitic rock associated with the project site, which is a part of the Palm Springs Complex, has a
very low potential to yield paleontological resources and none are expected to occur there.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-c) The proposed development portion of the project site has been previously disturbed with grading
of dirt roads and other disturbance. The site does not appear to harbor ethno-botanical or other
resources that might indicate prehistoric occupation or use. There are no historic structures,
archaeological resources, or unique paleontological resources on the site. Consequently, no
impacts would occur to these resources.
d) The proposed site is not located on, or within proximity to a known cemetery or Native
American burial grounds. It is not anticipated that any human remains will be encountered
during construction of the proposed project because the site and surrounding area have been
previously disturbed. In the event of human remains being discovered during project
development, the State of California requires a coroner be contacted and all activities cease to
assure proper disposal. The proposed project is not expected to disturb human remains.
Minimization Measures
None.
Mitigation
1. In the event of human remains being discovered during project development, the State of
California requires a coroner be contacted and all activities cease to assure proper disposal. The
proposed project is not expected to disturb human remains.
2. In the event cultural artifacts are uncovered during site grading or rock removal, work in this
area shall be immediately halted and a qualified archaeologist will be called in to evaluate and, if
necessary recover and document such resources.
Monitoring: None required.

Background: The subject property is located on rocky soils with bedrock outcroppings and shallow
depositions of gravelly sands. The soils on this site and surrounding uplands are designated "Rock
outcrop" (RO) on the Coachella Valley soils survey and are typically comprised of granite, gneiss, mica
shist, and sandstone. Rocks and boulders are coated with desert varnish and vegetation is very scant.
These soils frequently occur on slopes that are severely restrictive for shallow excavations, dwellings
without basements, and local roads. The depth to bedrock is also restrictive. The RO soil type is also
severely restricted with regard to the accommodation of on-lot septic system leach fields. Drainage is
excessive and plant rooting depth is restricted. RO soils are poor as roadfill, and are Lmsuitable as a
source of sand, gravel or topsoil.
The subject property and the entire Coachella Valley are susceptible to strong groundshaking from
earthquakes along major regional faults, including the San Andreas Fault Zone. The San Andreas is the
major fault in the Coachella Valley, which exposes the region and the City to high amounts of seismic
activity. The project site and vicinity are not within or adjacent to any Alquist Priolo Fault Zones, the
closest active fault (San Andreas Fault) being located several miles to the northeast. However, this and
other regional active faults have the potential to generate strong groundshaking in the valley, including
the subject property.
� � Pi�.� e International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 24
Peak ground acceleration and seismic intensity values generally decrease as distance from the causative
fault decreases.� Other factors, including rock and soil deposit attenuations, direction of rupture and type
of fault, may cause variability in ground motion within an area. The project area, especially any perched
or fractured rock on steep slopes, are subject to rockfalls, and slope stability is an issue that is addressed
in the project grading plan. Table 4 lists faults that have the potential to cause strong ground motions in
the City of Palm Desert, due to their proximity.

General Plan for the City of Palm Desert,Riverside,County,California,"Earth Consultants International,January

Discussion of Impacts:
a)i. Review of official state maps delineating earthquake fault zones indicate there are no known
faults currently mapped on or immediately adjacent to the site. No signs of fault rupture are
identified on-site; therefore, the risks of nipture are considered low.
ii. The site is subject to groundshaking by both local and regional faults that traverse the region.
Ground shaking from nearby active faults is expected to produce high ground acceleration during
the life of the project. The site could be subjected to ground acceleration on the order of 0.479
percent gravity (%g). The peak ground acceleration at the site is judged to have a 475-year return
period and a 10 percent chance of exceedance in 50 years. As a performance standard the project
shall be designed and constructed to conform to the California Building Code (CBC)
requirements for Seismic Zone 4. The implementation of these codes will assure that grading,
foundation design and code-compliant building construction will mitigate potential impacts
associated with groundshaking. Any perched rock features within the site and with the potential
to fall in an earthquake should be removed and remaining rock shall be stabilized and securely
anchored to underlying bedrock. Therefore, with appropriate slope modification and adherence
to the CBC, potential impacts associated with seismic ground motion will be less than
significant.

iii. The area in which the proposed site is situated has a very low liquefaction potential. Based on the
depth of groundwater (>100 feet) and shallow bedrock conditions on the site, the risk of
liquefaction is considered low.
iv. No signs of slope instability/landslides were observed on or immediately adjacent to the site.
Retaining walls buttressed by boulders are proposed to retain the southerly patio and pool area,
which is proposed on the downslope side of the development site. Proper engineering of this
slope should avoid or minimize slope failure due to strong groundshaking. While the risk of
landslides is considered low and limited by a lack of soils on the subject hillside, the potential for
rockfalls from perched and/or highly fractured rock warrants care in cutting back the bedrock
and will ensure that potential impacts are less than significant
b) Major portions of the City are highly susceptible to wind erodibility. According to the City
General Plan geotechnical report, the areas of highest hazard are located in the extreme northern
portions of the City; however, all areas within the City could be affected by blowsand. The City
will require that the applicant prepare a dust control management plan as part of the grading
permit to minimize potential impacts caused by blowing dust and sand during constniction.
Procedures set forth in said plan will ensure that potential erosion is controlled during the
constniction process; therefore, potential impacts would be less than significant
c),d) The site is located on a stable geologic unit with shallow sandy soils, and is mapped as occurring
in a low subsidence susceptible zone. The site is comprised of exposed bedrock outcroppings and
shallow sandy soils. No fissures or other surficial evidence of subsidence were observed at or
near the subject site during the site walks. Potential impacts related to subsidence, lateral
spreading or landslides are considered less than significant with proper slope and foundation
engineering.
e) The project proponent proposes to manage waste water collection and treatment by use of an on-
lot septic tank and leach field system. As noted above, the site is characterized by rocky substrate
and outcroppings, and by shallow sandy soils, which are no conductive to the construction or
operation of on-lot septic tanks and leach fields. Special planning and constniction will be
needed to assure a safe and effective on-site septic system.
Minimization Measures

l. As a performance standard the project shall be designed and constructed to conform to the

potential to break loose in the event of an earthquake. Identified instabilities shall be mitigated
during site grading activities.
2. All fill soil, whether natural on site or imported, shall be approved by the project soils engineer

by the project, including new fuel-efficient standards for cars, and increasing amounts of renewable
energy, which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the fiiture.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-b) The proposed project will generate greenhouse gas emissions during both construction and
operation (use and maintenance of the residence). Construction-related greenhouse gas emissions
will be temporary and will end once the project is completed. As such, impacts to air quality
resulting from the emissions of greenhouse gases associated with construction activities will be
less than significant. Greenhouse gas emissions will be minimized during construction by
limiting idling times of construction machinery, adequate maintenance of heavy machinery, and
efficient scheduling of construction activities to minimize combustion emissions.
Occupation and maintenance of the proposed residence will generate ongoing greenhouse gases
through the consumption of electricity and natural gas or propane, moving (travel-related)
sources, and transport and pumping of water. Table 4 quantifies constniction emissions and those
associated with annual (unmitigated) operational GHG generation.

Background: While a Phase I environmental site assessment(ESA) has not been conducted on this site,
the on-foot survey conducted did not uncover any sign of dumping or discharge of hazardous or toxic
materials. There were no signs of soil staining that might be associated with the illegal dumping of oil or
other petroleum product. Neither were there any substantial signs of dumping of construction materials
or domestic trash. In sL►mmary, the site is not known to harbor any potentially hazardous materials and
no signs of dumping were evident during site surveys. No known chemical or hazardous waste disposal
has been known to occur on the site. There are no known underground tanks or buried materials on site
or in the area,
The proposed project will extend Chuckawalla Way into the property as a private drive. An existing dirt
road will be abandoned and re-naturalized. Site development will include approximately 15,000 square
feet of disturbance, which will be limited and compact, focusing on the building pad for the home and
ancillary uses. While heavy equipment will be involved in grading, rock removal and hauling, the
potential for these activities to result in the accidental release of toxic or hazardous materials is
considered low. Temporary constniction power is expected to be secured from SCE.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 29
Discussion of Impacts:
a-b) The proposed residential development and associated improvements will not directly result in the
routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials. The single-family residence is expected
to use small amounts of chemicals used for household cleaning may be transported on site, but
not stored. Impacts associated with transportation, use, storage, or the release of hazardous
materials is considered negligible. Therefore, the project will not create a significant hazard to
the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous
materials. Neither will it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset or accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials
into the environment.
c) The St. Margaret's Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten is located approximately 2,800 feet
northeast of the project site. Further, the proposed project is not expected to store or use
hazardous materials. There will be no impact to schools.
d) The project site is not located on or near a site included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Government
Code Section 65962.5 and, thus, will not create a significant hazard to the public or environment.
e-� The proposed project is not located in proximity to an airport or private airstrip. The nearest
airport is located in Bermuda Dunes, approximately 5 miles northeast of the project site. Impacts
would not occur.
g) The proposed project will not physically interfere with local or regional roadway networks, or
interfere with implementation of an emergency response or evacuation plan. The proposed
residence will connect to the existing Chuckawalla Way and emergency access should be
assured. No impacts would occur.
h) The proposed project is located in the developing area of Cahuilla Hills in the City of palm
Desert. The site is located at the base of the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains; however,
there is very little vegetative fuel to feed a wildfire. The County of Riverside's hazardous fire
area map (1987) does not identify this area as a high risk for wildland fires. The project will not
expose people or structures to wildland hazards.

Background: The proposed project will result in the constniction of approximately 9,542 square feet of
impervious surfaces in the form of garage, homes and patio deck and pool area. The project driveway
will consist of gravel contained by a concrete curb, and will thus be permeable and allow rainwater to
percolate directly into the soil. The ninoff pattern on the site will remain the same as the existing
condition, and flows southeast toward the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel. Landscaping will be
introduced into the disturbed areas, which should stabilize soils and slopes, and reduce the rate of storm
runoff.
The proposed project would also rely on an on-lot septic tank and leach field system for the treatment of
domestic wastewater. Conditions on site may make it challenging to construct and effective on-lot septic
system, given the shallow soils and shallow depth to and exposure of bedrock on the site. Wastewater
discharge requirements for the Coachella Valley, including the subject property, are administered by the
Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board. CVWD implements all the requirements
of the Regional Water Quality Control Board as they relate to wastewater discharge requirements and
water quality standards. The City will need assurances that detailed plans for the on-lot septic system
adequately consider and address subsurface conditions at the site when designing this system.

CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 3 l
Discussion oF Impacts:
a) The proposed project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements. Construction at the site will be subject to all applicable water quality standards for
waste discharge requirements of the City. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is
not required because there is less than one acre of disturbed area. Compliance with existing
regulations and requirements will result in a less than significant impact on water quality
standards and waste discharge requirements.
The proposed on-lot septic tank and leach field has the potential to generate a plumb of
inadequately treated effluent that could eventually affect groundwater in the area. While the
proposed system is feasible, additional design and specifications are needed to assure that the
system will operate effectively at treating household wastewater generated by the project.
b) The proposed project will not generate a substantial demand for water or interfere with
groundwater recharge. Water demand will be limited to the household needs of one home,
including associated pool and landscaping improvements. The landscaping plan is predominantly
native and drought tolerant species. Therefore, water demands of the landscaping are expected to
be minimal. The project will not interfere with groundwater recharge programs or result in a
lowering of the local groundwater table. Therefore, the project will have less than significant
impacts to groundwater supplies and groundwater recharge.
c-� As previously mentioned, the proposed project will maintain existing drainage patterns. Any
excess ninoff is expected to be retained on site; however, the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel is
located southeast of the site and regional runoff is conveyed by this facility to the Whitewater
River to the north. The City Engineer will review the final hydrology study to assure that storm
flows do not exceed current volumes, and are not polluted. These standard conditions of approval
will assure that impacts associated with storm flows and pollution are reduced to less than
significant levels. No local or regional flood control facilities are expected to be significantly
impacted by project runoff. Constntction and occupancy of this residence is not expected to
otherwise degrade water quality.
g-h) The proposed project will not place housing or structures within a 100-year flood zone.
According to the General Plan, the proposed site is located outside FEMA-mapped flood zones.
No impacts would occur.
i j) The project site is not in the vicinity of a levee or dam, although it is located approximately 600
to 800 feet northeast of a local flood control debris basin and side channel that discharges into
the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel. The City is not located in the vicinity of a body of water,
which could be subject to either seiche or tsunami. The project site is not subject to hazards
associated with mudflows. No impacts are expected.

Background: The project proposes the constniction of a single-family residence in an area designated
as "Hillside Planned Residential" (HPR). This designation requires a separate "Precise Plan"
development approval for projects within the hillside in order to assure minimal and contoured hillside
grading, avoidance of excess cut and fill slopes, building and landscape design that blends with the
natural terrain, and retention of scenic vistas, and natural landmarks and features. The proposed
development exceeds the allowed maximum grading area of 10,000 square feet, proposing
approximately 15,722 feet of site disturbance. The total building size exceeds the allowable 4,000
square foot limit by approximately 473 square feet.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-b) The proposed project is located within the low-density single-family residential community of
the City of Palm Desert. The proposed residence and associated landscaping improvements will
occur entirely on the applicant's property and will not divide an existing community. The site is
designated for low-density residential uses in the City's General Plan, which requires a minimum
of 5-acres per dwelling.
The project has the potential to conflict with the City Municipal Code, specifically Chapter
25.15: Hillside Planned Residential Development Standards. The project exceeds maximum site
disturbance allowances by approximately 50 percent. Furthermore, the project proposes building
coverage of approximately 4,500 square feet, while the Code sets a maximum of 4,000 square
feet. The Code makes provision for exceptions to the development standards, taking into
consideration such matters as thoughtful/terrain-sensitive driveway design, re-naturalization of
disturbed areas, and sensitive building siting, design and orientation.
As proposed, the residence will be located on the lower southeast slope of the site with elevated
terrain behind that should serve to help obscure the residences and associated site development.
Site grading is being kept to a minimum and a portion of an existing dirt road will be abandoned
and re-naturalized. The manufactured slope supporting the patio and pool area will be naturalized
with boulders and desert vegetation, as will cut and fill areas associated with the new driveway.
The building materials for this single story home include stucco and metal, and colors are
predominantly desert browns. The proposed design appears to provide a supportable argument
for the requested variance from the hillside development standards.

Background: The California Division of Mines and Geology determines the location of mineral
resources of statewide or regional significance. Lands in the City of Palm Desert are located in Mineral
Resource Zones 1 and 3 (MRZ-1, MRZ-3). The subject project is located in MRZ-3 and is at the point of
contact with bedrock. Mineral resources in the Coachella Valley are largely limited to sand and gravels,
and the lack of a fluvial regime and deposition in the area precludes such resources in the project area.
Mining of potentially viable sand and gravel resources is also precluded by existing development.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-b) The proposed project is located in Mineral Resource Zone 3, which is an area where inadequate
information is available to determine the significance of mineral deposits present. The City does
not consider these areas to contain deposits of significant economic value. It should also be noted
that surrounding resort residential development makes the reclamation of such resources
infeasible.

Source:Palm Desert General Plan&EIR,2004;City Noise Ordinance,Chapter 94.24 of the Municipal Code.
Background: The City of Palm Desert Noise Element of the General Plan provides guidelines for
community noise impacts per land use designation. According to City standards, residential land uses
are considered "noise sensitive" thereby restricting allowable noise levels within the planning area. The
Palm Desert Noise Ordinance (Chapter 9.24) sets limits on the days and time when noise generating
constniction activities may occur. Further more, the allowed weekday times of construction vary with
the season Oct. lst to April 30th and May lst to September 30th. Generally, construction activities are
permitted between 7 AM and 5:30 PM, with an hour early start during the hot summer months. Saturday
construction hours are limited to 8 AM to 5 PM.
Section 9.24.030 establishes noise level limits in residential and other land use areas. The lands
surrounding the subject property are primarily in residential use. The applicable 10-minute average
decibel limit (A-weighted scale) is 55 dBA from 7 AM to 10 PM, and 45 dBA from 10 PM to 7 AM.
Interior noise levels are generally not to exceed 45 dBA CNEL in all habitable rooms. Construction
work is not permitted on Sundays and major holidays.
Ambient Noise Levels
The ambient noise level in the project area is quite low, being impacted by normal residential activity,
including landscaping maintenance and vehicular traffic from nearby Highway 74.
Constniction Noise
Implementation of the project will result in temporary and intermittent noise from constniction
activities. Although construction related noise will be short-term, activities are likely to produce noise
levels that are occasionally excessive and intrusive especially during the grading phase of construction.
� � Pi�.�e International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 35
Noise impacts associated with other construction activities will result from clearing, grading, hauling
and deliveries, pneumatic nailers and other construction equipment, and associated activities. Earth
moving equipment, such as bulldozers, backfillers, and front loaders, could generate noise levels
between 73 and 96 dBA at 50 feet. Rock removal equipment can generate noise levels between 79 to 89
dBA at 50 feet, with the highest noise levels generally to range from 88 to 96 dBA at 50 feet. Grading is
expected to take three to six weeks to complete. No blasting will be associated with this project.
Discussion of Impacts:
a) Development of the site will result in short term impacts associated with construction noise.
These impacts are temporary and will cease when once construction is completed. Construction
noise is regulated by the Municipal Code to occur during the least sensitive daytime hours, which
helps to lower the potential impacts. The short-tertn nature of construction activity assures that
project noise impacts are consistent with City regulations.
b) Development of the proposed project will temporarily generate noise and groundbourne
vibrations through construction related activities, especially during grading, but will cease once
construction is completed. Impacts are therefore expected to be short-term and less than
significant.
c) The proposed residential project is consistent with the City's existing land use designation for
low-density residential use and is not considered a noise generating land use. There will be no
substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity.
d) The construction of the project may generate a substantial but short-term increase in ambient
noise levels that would not occur if the project were not constructed. The subject construction
noise impacts are anticipated by the City Noise Ordinance. It should be noted that post-
construction ambient noise levels will be the same as existing conditions.
e,� The Bermuda Dunes Airport is the nearest airport/airstrip located 7 miles northeast of the
proposed project, and does not conduct flight operations over the proposed project. No impacts
associated with aircraft operational noise levels would occur.

7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday to
minimize the potential for noise impacts during more sensitive time periods. No constniction will
be permitted on Sundays or holidays.
2. All phases of the project shall comply with all relevant development standards and the Municipal
Code requirements to ensure that grading and construction activities and site operations do not
create unnecessary adverse noise impacts beyond the site boundaries. Construction activities
shall incorporate feasible and practical techniques that minimize noise impacts on adjacent uses.

b. Internal combustion engines used onsite shall be in proper working order, maintained in a
proper state of tune, and equipped with a muffler of a type recommended by the
manufacturer. No internal combustion engine shall be operated on the project site without
said muffler.
c. Stationary equipment should be placed such that emitted noise is directed away from noise-
sensitive receptors.
d. Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas should be located as far as practicable from noise-
sensitive receptors. Every effort should be made to create the greatest distance possible
between noise sources and sensitive receptors during construction activities.
e. The construction operations generating the most noise shall be arranged to occur together in
the construction program to avoid continuing periods of greater annoyance.
f. Parking, refueling and servicing operations for all heavy equipment and on-site construction
vehicles shall be located as far as practical from existing homes.
Monitoring
A. Rock removal activities shall be monitored to assure that they are carried out in the most
sensitive and expeditious manner practicable. Monitoring shall ensure that construction
operations occur only between the allowed hours prescribed in the City Noise Ordinance.

Background:
Fire Protection: The City provides fire protection and paramedic services in Palm Desert under contract
with Riverside County. First response is expected to be from Station No. 33 located on Towne Center
Way approximately four miles north of the subject property and response time should be 5 to 6 minutes.
In addition, Station 55 located on Eldorado Drive in Indian Wells and Stations 50 and 69, both in
Rancho Mirage, will also be able to respond to a call for service from this are of the City. The City has a
dedicated Fire Marshall to review projects and provide guidance. The project will generate a very
modest incremental and less than significant demand for fire protection services.
Police Protection: Riverside County Sheriff's Department provides police protection under contract with
the City. A Sheriff's substation is located on Gerald Ford Drive and a satellite station is located in the
City Civic Center complex on Fred Waring Drive. The Sheriff's Department provides protective
response, investigatory, and patrol services. A Community Services Officer is assigned to patrol the City
on a 24-hour basis. The project will generate a very modest incremental and less than significant
demand for police/law enforcement services.
� � Pin�r,_= � International Hillside Development
CEQA Initial Study/December 2013/Page 38
Schools: The City of Palm Desert is part of the Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD). The
City is host to elementary, middle and high schools. Nearby St. Margaret's School provided both pre-
school and pre-kindergarten. The project will generate a very limited or negligible demand for additional
school services.
Parks: The City provides a wide array of parks and recreational facilities in the City. It also supports
programs of the YMCA and the Coachella valley Parks and Recreation District. In the vicinity of he
subject property is the 27-acre Cahuilla Hills Community Park and the 27-acre Homme/Adams Regional
Park located near the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel. This area of the City is also rick in walking and
hiking trails.
Medical
A number of physicians' offices and urgent care facilities are located within the City of Palm Desert and
in the project vicinity. In addition, there are several large health care facilities in the Coachella Valley,
all of which serve Palm Desert and are in proximity to the subject property. The 100-acre campus of
Eisenhower Medical Center, located in Rancho Mirage, is comprised of a 261-bed, general acute care
hospital, the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, the Betty Ford Center for persons with alcohol and drug
dependency, and the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences, a conference and communications facility.
The Eisenhower Comprehensive Cancer Center provides several disciplines of cancer management
under one roof, offering a comprehensive range of oncology services.
Discussion of Impacts:
a) The proposed residential project will generate a very modest and less than significant increase in
demand for fire and police protective services, and an equally limited demand for medical
facilities and services, schools and parks. The project will not significantly increase demand for
public services or adversely impact the provision of government facilities.

Background: The proposed project is a private single-family residence located at the eastern terminus
of Chuckawalla Way in the Cahuilla Hills area of the City. Based on the Institute of Transportation
Engineers publication "Trip Generation (8th Edition)", the single-family house will generate an average
of less than 10 vehicle trips per day. Sole access to the site is via Chuckawalla Way access from Paisano
Road, Cholla Way, Cat Canyon Road and Cahuilla Way, which provides direct access to State Highway
111. The project will not adversely affect any City or regional transportation plan, the roadway network
providing access to the site being long established. It should be noted that access to the site via Paisano

Road may be made difficult or even occasionally precluded by flooding in the Cat Creek drainage,
which crosses Paisano Road and is contained within a debris basin to the immediate east.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-g) The proposed project will only very modestly increase population or traffic, and will not affect
any transportation plans, ordinances or policies. The project will not conflict with any applicable
circulation or congestion management plan, and will not affect air traffic patterns. The project
will modestly increase the number of homes in the Cahuilla Hills area that could occasionally be
cut off from the larger roadway network due to flooding in the Cat Creek drainage. Therefore,
there will be no impact to emergency access but emergency access could on rare occasions be
delayed due to flooding. The project does not conflict with any City parking capacity or
alternative transportation plans and policies. There will be no adverse impacts to transportation.

The Badlands Landfill is located northeast of the City of Moreno Valley is permitted for landfilling and
for excavation and stockpiling cover material and other ancillary activities. The landfill is owned and
operated by Riverside County, and is permitted to receive 4,000 tons per day and has an overall
remaining disposal capacity of approximately 10.2 million tons. The Badlands Landfill is projected to be
in operation unti12015 or 2016. Further landfill expansion potential exists at the Badlands Landfill site.
In addition, Riverside County Waste Management also operates a successful recycling program, which
has substantially diverted recyclables from the waste stream. Landscape maintenance companies
operating in the Coachella Valley utilize composting for the disposal of green waste. Several green
waste composting facilities are located in the area.
Discussion of Impacts:
a-g) The proposed residence will not generate wastewater or substantially increase water demands,
with very limited increases in landscaping. Water demands will be limited to in-home and
landscaping improvements, and will connect to the existing adjoining water lines. The project
will retain the existing drainage patterns and will maintain the existing drainage areas. The
project will not generate solid waste and will not violate solid waste regulations.
Domestic sewage waste will be treated in an on-lot septic tank and leach field. Due to the rocky
conditions at the site and the shallow and in some areas non-existent soils, a detailed septic tank
and leach field design should be prepared and approved prior to installation.
Impacts to utilities and service systems are considered less than significant to negligible.

District,2010.
Background: The project site is located within the service boundaries of the following providers:
Coachella Valley Water District (water & sewer), Southern California Edison, the Southern California
Gas Company, Burrtec (solid waste), Riverside County Sheriff's Department, and the Desert Sands
Unified School District. The City of Palm Desert and the subject property are served by three major
medical facilities: Eisenhower and Desert Regional Medical Centers, and JFK Memorial Hospital.
Sanitary Sewer
Coachella Valley Water District provides wastewater collection and treatment services to existing
residential and other development in the project vicinity. CVWD has 12-inch sewer mains located
within the Highway 74 right-of-way that connect to 8-inch sewer mains located within private streets in
existing residential development just east of the subject property and the Palm Valley Stormwater
Channel. The CVWD sewage treatment plant which treats effluent collected in the project area is located
approximately 4 miles northeast of the site on Cook Street in the City of Palm Desert. The plant's
treatment capacity is approximately 18 million gallons per day (mgd). The plant also treats and has
expanded storage for tertiary treated water; CVWD delivers reclaimed wastewater for irrigation to
several projects. Current tertiary water capacity is 15 mgd. The project will not be connecting to the
CVWD sanitary sewer system but rather will be constructing an on-lot septic tank and leach field.
Domestic Water
The subject property is located within the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) service area.
CVWD provides domestic water service to the project vicinity. CVWD has 12-inch water mains located
in Highway 74, as well as 8-inch and 12-inch mains in private streets within existing condominium,
mobile home and apartment residential development immediately east of the Palm Valley Stormwater
Channel. CVWD also has 12-inch and 24-inch mains located in the Palm Valley Stormwater Channel in
the project vicinity. The planning area is served by two reservoirs with a total capacity of 1.5 million
gallons. Water service is available in the vicinity and the applicant proposes to extend an 8-inch lines
north and eastward to the site from an existing 12-inch line in Paisano Road approximately 680 feet
southwest of the southwest corner of the subject property.
Solid Waste
The City of Palm Desert has a contractual agreement with Burrtec for solid waste collection and disposal
services. Residential pick up is generally provided once per week, and commercial pick up is offered up
to six days a week. Solid waste is hauled to the recycling and transfer center where solid waste enters the
Riverside County Waste Management waste stream, is sorted and sent to either the Lambs Canyon
landfill in Beaumont, the Badlands landfill in Moreno Valley, or the El Sobrante landfill in Corona.
The El Sobrante Landfill is permitted to receive 10,000 tons of refuse per day (tpd), of which 4,000 tpd
is reserved for waste generated within Riverside County and is expected to be in operation until
approximately 2031. The Lamb Canyon Landfill is located between the City of Beaumont and City of
San Jacinto off State Route 79 and is permitted to receive 3,000 tons per day of trash for disposal and
has a remaining disposal capacity of approximately 12.9 million tons. The landfill is expected to be in
operation until approximately 2023. Further landfill expansion potential exists at the Lamb Canyon
Landfill site.

human bein s,either directi or indirectl ?
a) Bioloaical and Cultural Resources: The proposed residence is located in proximity to existing
residential, flood control and other development, and involves very limited area of grading and
other site disturbance, and also includes revegetation of an existing dirt road. There will be no
substantial reduction in wildlife habitat nor will it restrict the movement or range of any plant or
animal. Neither will be the project impact any important examples of California history or
prehistory.
b) The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and surrounding land uses. The project
is a single-family residence on a large lot, and will not result in cumulatively considerable
impacts.
c) As demonstrated in this Initial Study, the project will not have adverse environmental effects on
human beings directly or indirectly.

IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS
� A. REQUEST FOR RECOMMENDATION to the City Council for consideration of
adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; and a
new 4,000-square-foot single-family home including a 473-square-foot
detached garage on a hillside residential property located at 72-000
Chuckawalla Way (APN 652-090-001). Case No. PP/HDP 13-198 (Mr. Mike
De Cotis, Pinnacle International Realty Group, #300-911 Homer Street,
Vancouver, BC V662W6, Applicant).
Mr. Kevin Swartz, Assistant Planner, stated that there were two letters submitted
prior to the meeting. One letter is from Mr. Paul Bowie, who will address the
Planning Commission when the public hearing is opened for testimony. He
reported that the nine-acre parcel is located within the hillside on the border of
the City and the County of Riverside. He presented a photo to show the location
of the parcel, and adjacent parcels that are also owned by the applicant for a
total of approximately 34 acres. Mr. Swartz said access to the site is provided
from Highway 74 through Riverside County roads. He reported that the proposed
4,000-square-foot home consists of a great room, dining room, kitchen,
den/office, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a casita, and wine storage room. The
applicant is also proposing to grade 15,722 square feet of pervious and
impervious area to accommodate the home, patio and pool areas, a new gravel
driveway, and a 9,733-square-foot building pad. He noted that the applicant is
not proposing a wall around the property. He provided a brief description of the
home architecture and landscaping. Mr. Swartz mentioned that story poles were
used to demonstrate the building heights. The proposed height and site location
is supported by staff, as it will not adversely impact any viewsheds or diminish
property values. He stated that the applicant is requesting two exceptions which
are allowed by code. Staff supports the two exceptions since the project's site
design effectively achieves the Hillside Planned Residential goals of blending
development into the natural terrain. He stated that the applicant has requested

modifications to three Conditions of Approval under Department of Public Works
(Conditions No. 10, 11, and 12). Mr. Swartz said that staff accepted the
modifications, and recommended approval of the proposed project. He offered to
answer any questions.
Commissioner DeLuna asked if the proposed pool is an infiniry pool.
Mr. Swartz replied yes.
Commissioner DeLuna commented that she has a concern with the reflection
coming from an infinity pool. She asked if it would be an issue for adjacent
neighbors, residents across the desert, or people driving on Highway 74.
Mr. Swartz responded that he did not believe so. He said the pool sits lower than
the home.
Vice Chair Ken Stendell asked if the rock under the edge of the pool is part of the
re-naturalization area.
Mr. Swartz replied yes. , "----:�
Y
Vice Chair Stendell asked if there is a re-naturalization standard adopted by the
City or does staff work with the applicant to re-naturalize areas to the best of their
ability.
Mr. Swartz responded that there is not a set standard, and that staff works with
the applicant.
Chair Dash declared the public hearing open and asked for any public testimony IN
FAVOR or OPPOSITION.
MR. MIKE DE COTIS, #300-911 Homer Street, Vancouver, British Columbia,
V6B2W6, offered to answer any questions from the Planning Commission.
Commissioner DeLuna asked the applicant if they have any concerns paving the
road according to Riverside County standards.
MR. DE COTIS answered that they do not.
Commissioner Greenwood asked the applicant where they intend to locate the
condensing units.
MR. DE COTIS responded that the units will be located on the ground on the
east side of the house.
Commissioner Greenwood mentioned that he walked the site, and that to the
north there seems to be a water shed area where there is a higher topography.

He asked where the main run-off to the home is going to be located, and asked if
it has been addressed or looked at by their engineer.
MR. PHILIP FOMOTOR, 225 South Civic Drive, Suite I-5, Palm Springs,
California, 92262, responded that most of the drainage goes to the east. He said
whatever drainage goes to the south will be conveyed to the west side of the
home.
Commissioner Greenwood commented that it appeared that the location of the
leaching pond by the septic is in an existing flood basin.
MR. FOMOTOR stated that they would address drainage during final design.
Commissioner Greenwood asked if the Public Works Department would also
take a look at the drainage.
Mr. Swartz replied yes.
Commissioner DeLuna mentioned that the applicant owns approximately 34
acres. She asked the applicant if he has plans to build more residences.
MR. DE COTIS replied no.
Commissioner Greenwood commented that he really likes the design. He asked
that the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) take a look at the detail in the
construction documents. For instance the fascias, he is not seeing any parapet
conditions, and it seems to be a flat roof with a minimum quarter inch per foot
slope shutting water off.
Vice Chair Stendell asked the applicant where he plans on using roof tiles on the
house.
MR. DE COTIS responded that he was not certain, and thought they were
deleted.
Vice Chair Stendell reiterated that the ARC takes a good look at the details of the
final drawings. He stated if the roof tiles are a stricken item that they are taken
out.
MR. PAUL BOWIE, 71-774 Chuckawalla Way, Palm Desert, California 92260,
read his letter dated January 21, 2014, which was given to the Planning
Commission prior to the meeting. In the letter, he said the project should be
conditioned to meet Riverside County standards of street improvement, and meet
all requirements prior to issuing a permit of occupancy.
With no further testimony offered, Chair Dash declared the public hearing closed.

Vice Chair Stendell seconded the motion.
Commissioner Greenwood added that in final development and review from the
ARC that they pay attention to detail of the construction documents, and the
screening of condensing units.
Ms. Aylaian confirmed that motion includes the revisions to the three conditions

Commissioner DeLuna and Vice Chair Stendell agreed to amend the motion to
include the revisions.
Commissioner DeLuna moved, by Minute Motion, recommending to the City
Council for consideration of adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact, and a 4,000-square-foot single-family home including a 473-
square-foot detached garage on a hillside residential property located at 72-000
Chuckawalla Way (APN 652-090-001). In addition, the Planning Commission requested
that the ARC look at the details of the final construction drawings, and they also
approved revising three of the Conditions of Approval. Motion was seconded by Vice
Chair Stendell and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Campbell, Dash, DeLuna, Greenwood,
and Stendell; NOES: None).
Commissioner DeLuna moved, by Minute Motion, to waive further reading and
adopt Resolution No. 2615, subject to the revised conditions. Motion was seconded by
Vice Chair Stendell and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Campbell, Dash, DeLuna,
Greenwood, and Stendell; NOES: None).
Commissioner Greenwood congratulated the applicant.
Commissioner DeLuna commented that it is a beautiful site, and thanked the
applicant for choosing to live in Palm Desert.
B. REQUEST FOR RECOMMENDATION to the City Council for consideration to
approve a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to modify Section 25.40.050
Accessory Structures to refine placement and development standards, and
Section 25.99 Definitions to combine and make definitions consistent for
accessory buildings and structures. Case No. ZOA 13-357 (City of Palm

Commissioner Vuksic and the applicant discussed recessing the punch
details about 12", shifting the mechanical units down a few feet,
concealing the roof access and not cut into cornice detail, and the north
parapet element shall return back 2/3 of the width of the element. He
stated the standard is having the units no higher than the parapets, but if
it means those parapet heights will go up quite a bit, they will need to
inform the Commission because that could change the way the building
looks.
ACTION:
Commissioner Vuksic moved to preliminary approve subject to: 1) mechanical
unit height shall be lower than parapet height; 2) punch detail in architecture shall
be recessed 12"; 3) roof access from enclosure shall remain concealed and not
cut into cornice detail; 4) north parapet element shall return back 2/3 of the width
of the element; and 5) preliminary approval of landscape design. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Clark and carried by a 7-0-1-0 vote, with
Commissioner Lambell abstaining.

APPLICANT AND ADDRESS: PINNACLE INTERNATIONAL REALTY
GROUP, Attn: Mike De Cotiis, 911 Homer Street, #300, Vancouver, BC,
Canada V662W6
NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Preliminary approval of
single family residence 5 acres within the hillside.
LOCATION: 72-000 Chuckawalla
ZONE: HPR
Mr. Kevin Swartz, Assistant Planner, said this proposal is for a 4,000
square foot single family home including a 473 square foot detached
garage on the hillside. The hillside ordinance allows no more than 4,000
square feet for houses, including garages and accessory structures so
the applicant is asking for an exception for the additional 473 square feet.
Also they are only allowed to grade about 10,000 square feet but they are
requesting about 15,000 square feet. These two exceptions will go to
public hearing with the Planning Commission and City Council for review
and approval. He presented a PowerPoint presentation of the property
along with story poles indicating the position of the home; up to 18'. He
described the home and landscape plans that will blend in with the hillside
landscape and presented a materials board for review. Staff is
recommending preliminary approval of the single-family residence.
MR. PETER KREUK, Landscape Architect, discussed the retaining walt,
the control of water run-off and erosion control. He referred to the
materials board and said the materials were carefully chosen so the
house blends into the desert. It was located very carefully on the existing

plateau and below the ridgeline behind it. The building is very simple,
modern, with open glass to the site with large overhangs in order to
provide a lot of shading in the summer to keep it cool. They worked with
staff to get a glass that would not be highly reflective with a high
insulation value. The pool deck blends in with the desert around it with
warm toned colored concrete. They are working with staff on adjusting the
landscape plan to take off the DG around the driveway for a much more
natural look and incorporating a few more trees around the building itself
to soften as it transitions to the desert. The building itself sta�ts at 10', 14',
and then 18' in the center so it is a fairly low slung building that sits
comfortably on the plateau.
Commissioner Clark asked if there were hillside interest groups interested
in this project. Mr. Swartz stated there is one individuat who is opposed to
the access way, but not the architecture. Commissioner Clark was
referring to groups within the City regarding hillside development. Mr.
Tony Bagato, Principal Planner, said there have been at times interested
people, but not necessarily a formal group. We have changed the
ordinance several times and this will be one of the first houses in the past
six years that we have seen going forward for consideration. People
within 4,000' of this property will be notified for the public hearing and
we'll see if there are any concerns at that time.
The Commission and the applicant discussed the roof material, the HVAC
units and the ducting. MR. KREUK said the approach they want to make
is to have the A/C units on the ground, but they haven't gone on to the
next stage regarding the ducting. Commissioner Colombini said they
need to take a good look at the system. Commissioner Vuksic said as
they get into the details of the HVAC equipment that it doesn't change the
look of the house.
The Commission and the applicant discussed the south facing windows,
solar exposure, and the grading footprint to protect the rock outcroppings,
as well as ridgelines in the area. They requested the applicant to bring to
staff any deviations to the plans before the final drawings. They also
suggested maintaining as much of the natural rock outcroppings as they
can.
The Commission and the applicant discussed the plant material on the
property, as well as desert scrub and native trees. They asked if there
was landscaping areas around the house. MR. KREUK stated there is a
fair amount of planting in certain areas, but right now there is nothing
planned for the pool or deck area.
ACTION:
Commissioner Lambell moved to preliminary approve. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Vuksic and carried by an 8-0 vote.

Deaz Director Aylaian:
I recently spoke with you at the counter regarding the referenced submitted
proposal.
While the Staff Report and recommendations have yet to be formulated it is believed
to be worthwhile in bringing forward my issue and the basis for making it a formal
request. In the event a successful resolution can be achieved now it may save time and
trouble at a convened hearing.
I do not represent any other person or persons in this matter. A resolution herein will
equally benefit all property owners in Cahuilla Hills.
The only issue presented bears solely on ingress/egress to the parcel in the proposal.
All other matters of zoning, land use, density,plan designation, etc. rests exclusively with
the City.
Recently, and by random chance, I met the owner of the parcel in the application. He
indicated the possibility of using Chuckawalla Way for ingress/egress. This would route
vehicular activity through streets in Cahuilla Hills for eventual linkage to Highway 74.
It is believed to be improper for this routing to be established. Using Chuckawalla
Way is not a natural traffic link. Geography and the single route via Cahuilla Way is
further impacted with traffic entering and leaving Bighorn community. Some hazardous
conditions already exist on Cahuilla Way with Highway 74, Bighorn and Cahuilla Hills.
Reasonable resolution to the condition does not appear to reveal itself.
Retaining traffic to the city domain in this proposal will eliminate magnification of
present and future traffic problems.
There are approximately 38 acres of city domain consisting of several separate
parcels believed to be in private holding surrounding the proposed plan.
So far as is known no or no proposed traffic overlay exists for the approximately 38
acres.
There is no reason to believe only one project will ever be approved for this area. And
also no reason is believed to exist that the area will be only Hillside Planned
Development zoning for the unlimited future. At any time the City possess an option to
rezone and possibly permit a substantially larger number of units.
It appears, therefore, that the City is either lawfully bound or duty directed to establish
a traffic overlay beginning with the Project application.
A valid circulation plan is possible by extending Thrush Road south along the storm
channel with appropriate traffic laterals. Doing so would not impact any present or future
gated community.
'` M` �
� �
It seems that supporting the applicant with a traffic design will reinforce wide
respect held for the City in matters of good planning, good engineering, good innovation
and good sense.
Remaining silent on the traffic issue will reveal the City's willingness to accept fees
from the developer(approved or disapproved) and turn its back on future property
owners of similar development wishes.
Cahuilla Hills is a community which has developed itself, respectfully, over the course
of time. It deserves and demands honor from all quarters.
In conclusion it is asked that any Commission or Council action taken in the
referenced application specifically prohibit use of Chuckawalla Way for ingress/egress
and that an approved City traffic overlay be approved for this project.
Sincere y yours, �

Dear Director Aylaian:
Please find attached a copy of a recorded pedestrian and vehicular right-of-way
(access road) dated Apri122, 1986. This right-of-way lies on the west side of Palm
Valley Storm Channel beginning at Thrush Road and terminating at the line of Section 36
(Cahuilla Hills) and the city of Palm Desert.
This fact automatically disqualifies any consideration of using Chuckawalla Way and
other community streets of Cahuilla Hills for ingress/egress to the property described in
the above application.
In addition to previously submitted objections to using Cahuilla Hills for
ingress/egress it is submitted that Cahuilla Hills is subject to storm water flows of
substantial magnitude. Such flooding again occurred on August 20, 2013. This resulted in
complete closure of Paisano Road between Chuckawalla Way and Cholla Road.
Subjecting city property owners to use Chuckawalla Way would appear to create a
city liability during times of road closure due to flooding.
The mentioned flooding is only one of which happen from time to time. It is clearly
evident that the presence of the debris basin on the east side of Paisano Road is testament
to the fact of voluminous flows. On August 20�'the basin filled to only a few feet of
flowing over the spillway.
There is no reasonable mitigation to the flooding across Paisano Road. To do so would
most probably require a bridge of about 1,000 feet which is beyond economic
consideration.
Since ely yours,

CASE #PPlHDP/MND 13-198 Paul Bowie
71 774 Chuckawalla Way
Palm Desert, CA 92260
January 21,2014
Members of the Palm Desert Planning Commission:
You are informed of the matters of concem which have been forwarded to you.
First and foremost, elements regarding the use of the county streets previously described
viz., PM-10, flooding and trafFc congestion are founded and rea1.
It is still maintained that another suitable ingress/egress to the building site be embraced.
As a resident of Cahuilla Hills I am interested in its integrity,proper development
pleasing profile.
However, in the event the Commission elects to pursue the aspect of using county roads,
that segment of Chuckawalla Way under consideration should be conditioned to meet
county standards of improvement. It is understood that an offer of dedication exists 33
feet in width lying on the north segment of the 660 foot distance. This 33 foot se
should be engineered and improved to meet street standards of 4 inch thick asph�ent
material overlying a 6 inch base of graded road base, an asphalt street width of 24 feet
and slope grading on the north side of the asphalt surface. This improvement would meet
and connect to community street standards in Cahuilla Hills. Making this improvement a
requirement prior to city issuance of a permit of occupancy would meet overall
compliance.
Elements of the aforementioned street improvement standards is affirmed by Mr. Majeed
Farshad(see the attached business card).
Thank you,
