Photos: The submittal shall include high-resolution photographs taken a minimum of 30 days prior to the application submittal, showing the existing site condition, panoramic views, and site-specific characteristics and/or unique features and adjacent development.

Preliminary Title Report: A preliminary title report dated within 30 days of the application submittal date shall be provided. B. Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan Checklist: A completed Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Checklist Form for the Whitewater River Watershed. If the Checklist Form concludes a WQMP is required, a Preliminary Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan will be required as well. C. Water Quality Management Plan: The Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Boards have adopted Board Orders in compliance with the Federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Clean Water Act requirements. These Board Orders regulate the discharge of pollutants from the Whitewater Regional MS4 permit and requires the City of Palm Desert to implement measures to mitigate the water quality impacts of new developments within its jurisdiction. In compliance with these Board Orders, projects submitted for discretionary approval will be required to comply with the Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff (WQMP) or with the Standard Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SSMP). The WQMP/SSMP addresses post-development water quality impacts from new development and redevelopment projects. To comply with the WQMP/SSMP, a developer must submit a “Project Specific” WQMP/SSMP in compliance with the latest adopted Board Order. This report is intended to, a) identify potential post project pollutants and hydrologic impacts associated with the development; b) identify proposed mitigation measures (Best Management Practices - BMPs) for identified impacts including site design, source control and treatment control post-development BMPs; and c) identify sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the aforementioned BMPs. A template for this report is included as an appendix to the WQMP/SSMP. Projects requiring Project Specific WQMPs or Project Specific SSMPs will need to include a PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP/SSMP along with the subdivision application package. The format of the PRELIMINARY report CITY OF PALM DESERT SENATE BILL 35 APPLICATION 10 would mimic the format/template of the final report but would be at a much lesser level of detail. For example, points a, b, and c above would be covered, rough calculations supporting sizing would be included, and footprint/locations for the BMPs would be identified on the tentative exhibit. D. Hydrology Report: A preliminary hydrology report including a hydraulics plan shall be submitted as part of the application submittal packet. Analysis by a Civil Engineer regarding the sizing of proposed storm water facilities, and the review of whether adequate capacity of the downstream outfall facilities closest to the project site exists or were designed to take the storm water run-off volume for the project after development. E. Traffic Impact Letter: < 50 trips Peak Hour Volume and or Traffic Impact Analysis > 50 trips Peak Hour Volume – Please be advised, a project located on an arterial street may require a Traffic Impact Analysis even if it does not meet the 50 PHV threshold. A specific project analysis prepared, sealed and signed by a Registered Traffic Engineer is required. Please consult with City Land Development Division for guidelines, guidance and area specifics. F. Project Valuation. A cost summary prepared from the project Architect or Civil Engineer with the estimated project costs, including on and offsite improvement costs and tenant improvement costs for both design and construction. G. Affordability: Provide certification that the project will meet the affordability requirements under Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(3). Affordability Agreement with the City of Palm Desert will be recorded prior to issuance of the Building Permit.
