PRIMARY REPORTS AND STUDIES Preliminary Title Report: A preliminary title report dated within 30 days of the application submittal date shall be provided. 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. Preliminary 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 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. 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. Public Hearing Notice Mailing Labels The applicant shall provide the Department of Development Services with three (3) copies of adjacent owners and their addresses for all parcels. Information on information required and applicable radius can be found in Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 25.60.060. 7. SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS AND STUDIES CITY OF PALM DESERT PRECISE PLAN APPLICATION Page 11 of 12 Traffic Impact Analysis: Unless specifically waived by the Land Development Engineering Division, a traffic analysis prepared in accordance with the latest adopted County of Riverside Transportation Analysis Guidelines shall be submitted as part of the application submittal packet. The Land Development Engineering Division is to be contacted with any questions as to whether a memo or study is required per the Scoping Letter to establish the site- specific requirements of the memo or study. The analysis shall evaluate project impacts of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Level of Service (LOS) using the latest guidelines adopted by the Land Development Engineering Division. Community Engagement Plan: All development projects shall conform with Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 25.60.160 Community Engagement. Review the code to determine applicable submittal requirements: https://ecode360.com/43850744 Biological Report: In accordance with the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), project applicant(s) shall retain a qualified biologist to perform a biological resources evaluation for private and public development projects to determine the presence or absence of non-covered special-status plant species with the potential to occur in and adjacent to (within 100 feet, where appropriate) the proposed impact area, including construction access routes. It is required that such surveys be conducted at the proper time of year when rare or endangered species are both evident and identifiable. The report shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. For projects in which special-status species are found, likely to occur, or where the presence of the species can be reasonably inferred, the City shall require feasible mitigation of impacts to ensure that the project does not contribute to the decline of affected special-species populations in the region to the extent that their decline would impact the viability of the regional population in accordance with General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 4.5-1. Tables 4.5-1, 4.5-2, and 4.5-3 of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) list all federally, and state-listed species with the potential to occur in the City. Cultural Artifacts/Archeological Report: For projects that require excavation activity (e.g., clearing/grubbing, grading, trenching, or boring) into native soil and that have the potential to exhibit native ground surface within or in the immediate vicinity of the excavation footprint, project applicants will be required to conduct archaeological resources assessments to identify and mitigate potential impacts to archaeological resources. A Phase 1 Assessment typically consists of identifying known archaeological resources through a records search and consultation with Native American tribes, a pedestrian survey of the project site, a review of the land use history, and coordination with knowledgeable organizations or individuals. If warranted, additional analyses such as archaeological test excavations and/or remote sensing methods can be implemented to identify resources. In conjunction with these assessments, future project applicants will be required to implement mitigation measures 4.6-2a through MM 4.6-2d of the Palm Desert General Plan EIR. Paleontological Report: A paleontological report is required if after adequate review of the proposed project, through either the City’s pre-application review service or formal application process, it is determined by the Planning Division Staff that this information is required for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The report shall be prepared by a qualified professional. Geotechnical Report: A geotechnical report is required if after adequate review of the proposed project, through either the City’s pre-application review service or formal application process, it is determined by the Planning Division Staff that this information is required for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Depending on site conditions and location, the inclusion of a rockfall/slope analysis may be required. Noise Study: A noise study is required if after adequate review of the proposed project, through either the City’s pre-application review service or formal application process, it is determined by the Planning Division Staff that this information is required for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act or as part of the operations of the proposed project. The study shall be prepared in accordance with Planning Division guidelines. Water Supply Assessment (WSA): When required in accordance with California Water Code Section 10910 et seq., applicants shall submit a WSA prepared in accordance with the requirements of State Law and the Coachella Valley Water District. CITY OF PALM DESERT PRECISE PLAN APPLICATION Page 12 of 12 Energy Capacity Analysis: It is highly recommended for Applicant to complete a “Completion of a Customer/Project Information Sheet” (CPIS) from Southern California Edison (SCE) and submit to SCE. Proof of CPIS submittal is recommended at time of Precise Plan application and may be required as a condition of approval of the project. Projects within the service area of the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) are recommended to contact IID to discuss their project energy needs. SECTION III – PROCEDURES 1. Schedule a time to discuss the preliminary project plans and zoning with Planning Division staff and other City departments for project requirements, including necessary application submittals. The General Plan should be consulted for land use and street improvements. 2. Submit a completed Precise Plan application, with all required signatures, application fee, an Environmental Assessment Form, radius map and mailing labels, and any other applications (i.e. Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Tract Map). 3. Staff will review the application and determine if it is complete within 30 days from the date the project is submitted. The application will not be processed if it is incomplete. After the application is deemed complete, the project is circulated to other City departments and local agencies for comments and conditions. 4. City staff will present the project(s) to the Architectural Review Commission (held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month) after staff’s initial 30-day review period when comments have been received from other departments and agencies. The Architectural Review Commission hearing may be delayed if the project is deemed incomplete within the 30-day review period or if any changes are required because of conditions of approval that affect the site plan, architecture, and/or if the project does not meet one (1) or more required zoning development standards. 5. After the project receives Design Review approval from the Architectural Review Commission, Planning staff will prepare a staff report and schedule the project for the Planning Commission (held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month). Planning staff will publish and mail a legal notice to adjacent property owners/tenants 10 to 21 days before the meeting and advertise the public hearing . There is a 15-day appeal period from the day of a decision taken by the Planning Commission. 6. If the project involves a Change of Zone, General Plan Amendment, Development Agreement, exceptions, or if the project is appealed or called up for review, City staff will schedule a public hearing with the City Council (held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month). Staff will prepare a staff report, and publish and mail a legal notice to adjacent property owners/tenants 10-21 days before the meeting. This process is approximately two to four (2-4) weeks after the Planning Commission decision and approximately eight (8) to 12 weeks after the project has been submitted. 7. After the Building and Safety Department reviews the final working drawings, staff presents the construction plans to the designated Architectural Review Commission Subcommittee to confirm substantial conformance with the originally approved design.
